A little bit of review, a little bit of complaining

Lets start with a little bit of reviewing, i bought this remarkable book on 18th september after looking for quiet sometimes, and due to its popularity, this book was out of stock for nearly a month.

When i first start reading this book, i started from the very first page (i don't usually read what the author said) where the author was giving a brief notes.

Then as soon as i start reading 'em...i couldn't put it down, i kept on reading...and reading...it's so moving, it's so real comes to the point that it's scary to even imagine what the author has been through...

The part that i like about this book, is not how he describe his life and his afford of trying to get sobber..but how he stand by his point, that what happen to him was purely because of him, not trying to blame other people for it (specially his parents), didn't even look for other source to be blame. It was like what i've once told my parents, when they were telling me the story of how so and so child's was a junky, or a drug addicts and how the parents was to blame. I told my parents, it is unfair to blame the parents of what happen to those people who "choose to use drugs".

Using and not using a drug is a choice to make, and for a child to be addicted to it, and blame it to the parents, for me it was just absurb!. Learn to accept the consequences of what you are doing. And this book its all about that...i would give a 10 star for this book, i already told my friend Anne to read this book.



Now, lets's talk about my complaining...
As you can see, at the corner of the book, there was a highlight on the page number. I didn't highlight them...yupe, i was surprise to have a highlighted page on my new book which by the way, i bought it from a very reputable japanese bookstore in takashimaya...So book lovers, please please check your book before you purchase them, don't just check on the cover, if you can...check every pages, and look whether someone highlight something, or you've have just purchased a second hand book instead!

Fire Alarm

at approximately 1 am, the fire alarmed in my tower went off, it was a very loud noise and when i tried to find where it came from, i opened my apartment door, and the sound was actually from the level where my apartment is.

i went to the back to our apartment to where the laundry is, look down from the balcony and there was the old man whom always cleaning the place and i saw him trying to contact somebody from the building maintenance.

then after about 15 minutes, there were a fire bridgade in front of the premises..i went back to the laundry area again, and saw them at the other tower, they looked like they were looking for the switch or something. when the sound was turn off, in 5 minutes it turn on again, and it happen even untill the fire bridgade had left.

Another durian fever

My dear and my mom couldn't wait for me to munch on those durian we bought at the supermarket. The sales told us that these grade was the best one, better than grade D24. So we bought two packaged, and as soon as we get to the apartment, my dear opened them and ask my mom to try 'em, while mt younger brother was sitting far away from where the action was.

At first she was very nervous, as it was her first experience riding a train, she never be in a train before, let alone in riding the train in such a speed. But I think she like the experience..:)

A Very Nice Surprise

yesterday, as i was waiting for the landlord of our apartment to come and visit, my brother sms me and ask what was i doing, and give me a hint that he will be in singapore around evening....Whuaaa...i told him not to joke with that, coz i don't want to get my hopes high..and he said why would he lie to his sister, and he would want to be there for my birthday...i almost cry when he told me that...so yesterday, i waited for my brother to arrived, and have a doubt in mind whether my mother will come also. And it turns out that she also came along with my brother...what i nice surprise for my birthday...:)

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrom (PCOS)

My close friend who was trying to get pregnant was diagnose by the doctor to have a Polycystic Ovarian Syndrom. This syndrom made the carrier to become infertile, and will also cause problems such as diabetic, irregular menstruation, hormonal inbalance, thinning of a hair, and excessive growth of hair in certain area of the body (manly hair).

She was so down when she heard she had this syndrom, i though that she was just going to have a regular check up at MT Elizabeth Hospital, and the doctor prob just gonna prescribe her some hormon boost or some vitamins, but what looks like a regular and a normal check up, turns out to be a bad news for her and her husband.

I met her for a coffee yesterday, and she told me that if she will not pregnant within the 3 months treatment of all the medicine her doctor gave her, she have to get back to singapore, and undergo some other treatments, and if that doesn't work as well, she have to undergo a surgery, and if the surgery doesn't cured her she have to go through ICSI.

To understand her syndrom i've tried to google on the net, and find out PCOS is usually happen to a woman who has a problem with weight, and my friend is so skinny that people would say she is underweight. Although, she was diagnose as to have a hormonal inbalance a couple years ago when she still living in perth.

I just hope that she will get well soon, as this particular syndrom is not cureable, but it is treatable.

The curse of DURIAN

I was introduce to this kind of fruit since i was young, but from the moment i taste it, i don't really like it. First of all, they all have this distinctive smell, which won't go away eventhough you'd brush your teeth, washed your hands or use mouthwash. A lot of asian people love it, and in my family, only me and my dad didn't like it. Everytime my mom or my sister want to it them, my dad always told them to eat them at the backyard or far away from the house, so the smell won't get into the house. Second of all, i don't like the taste, its weird, and it so gooe and soft and dirty. The perfect word for it was, I HATE IT. And my dear husband love it, his family love it, and because he knew that i hate durian, he hasn't eat durian since then. But he once told me that he hope when i had my craving it would be a durian. And God seems to agree with him, when i was at the doctor appointment on saturday, i asked the doc whether i can eat durian, and my dear was surprise. He told the doctor, that i hate durian, and this is going to be the first time i asked for durian. So last nite, we bought this D24 grade durian from the shop near mrt station, and as soon as we get home, all of them just vanished. Wooshhhh! Hehehehe...it was so nice and juice. I still can't believe myself that i could be asking for a durian in my whole life. :)

Singapore Bienale

it pronounce Bian - na - li, is an art festival conduct by international artist from japan and many other country. On sunday, after church, we were sort of feeling like a tourist and decide to take a brisk walk along orchard road.

the picture was actually a trees that was decorated in a polkadots, the theme for this year art festival was the city of polkadots,which came from a japanese artist. So, there...trees along orchard road were dress in polkadots material with polkadots ball hanged as an ornament.

Third Trimester Checkups

Yesterday we went to east shore for my regular checkups, it turns out that i only gain 0.3 Kg. My baby weight is 1.7 kg which means she only gain 0.1 kg since 3 weeks ago..though my doc said everything looks fine and she still have a normal weight, i am worried that she wouldn't get enough food. I felt guilty of not putting enough weight lately.
I am now 33 weeks and the doctor doesn't seems to be worried about me, thus he ask me to visit him in 3 weeks time. I thought by this time i should visit him once a week, but the nurse said it wouldn't be advice until i reach 36 weeks or if the doctor advice otherwise.

After visiting him, we went to pre-registered for my delivery, and was told not to wear any jewelery or bring any valuable stuff along.

Btw, i have some not so happy news, my dear's lil brother apperantly choose 31st dec as his wedding date. Which means that my dear will not be in singapore for his first new year eve with his child. I couldn't say anything when he told me about that, except i was just smile. Its the thing with me, i couldn't say anything when something was upsetting me. Well.. i guess i have to bear with the situation, as i don't have a say in this. I am very upset and dissapointed, but nothing i said or done will change anything.
