The Sexiest Man On Earth 2009

Depp says sexiest man title is a 'joke'

No joke. This is the sexiest man on earth. Look at his deep eyes filled with solemn thoughts. He seems to be in pain. The coldness and loneliness that badly needs to be warmed up with love - my love.

He is ever so versatile and full of surprise. Born a model, he carries the idiosyncracies well through his various acting roles and characters. The high cheekbone and defined jawline...

I especially love the bad bad boy in him.

Princess V. Learn to choose your Prince. This is one, you do not want to let go.

No joke, John Christopher Depp - you are the sexiest man on Earth.

Beauty of Mother Nature

the magic begins here...

Antenatal Class

I can't help feeling helpless as this is my first pregnancy. Somehow I felt I do not read enough, know enough or ask enough to help me throughout this period. Feeling of vulnerability eats into me all the time. It does not help when people around me just try to assure me endlessly that "you will know what to do when time comes.."

I am not one to leave things to happen. To better equip myself, I decided to sign up for the antenatal class.

Some said it's a waste of time and money as there are always mothers around to teach you. However, how much can you bother others? There are endless questions running in my head... Paiseh ma...

Another reason is that I decided to go for all natural delivery without epidural. Many said that it is excruciating pain that I am going to put myself under! I admit that I am a fearer of pain~ low threshold of pain is also the reason why I have no tattoo till date! Haha.

Pain is the deterrent but it is also the same pain that I hope to feel to complete the whole miraculous delivery process. Furthermore I do want to breastfeed the minute Princess V is out, to initiate the bond and the intimacy. Hearing some stories that the medication sends you on grogginess spells or even knocks you out will impede this bonding process which must happen within the first 40 mins.

Anyway, my mind is set. The next thing to do is to help to relieve the pain, which the antenatal class will cover in lesson 2.

I have checked in the forums and they mentioned that the courses are taught by a very reputable lady Wong Boh Boi in AMK Hub. There are many good reviews and feedback on her teachings and attitude.

The only problem is that I have started on this class too late. The ideal period is in the 2nd trimester where the tummy is not as bulging and mummy has high energy levels to cope with the light exercises. I am into my third trimester and nearing my EDD already. The last date of the class is in March and if Princess V decides to pop out earlier, I will miss my last 2 lessons which is non-replaceable nor refundable.

WHo CareS!

I am All EXCITED and GEARED up FOr my first lesson on 19 Jan 2010, AMK Hub, Little Skool House!!! Woohoo~

PS: Daddy will also be joining worx. I am sure he is feeling just as excited (maybe compelled to) as me. HAHAHAHAHAHA

Mummy Tracey still sick & weak

Today on mc again.

When the alarm buzzed off at 4.30am, I woke up in gush of perspiration and felt the collar of the nightdress wet and sticky. Horrible feeling.

Doc says I was down with common cold yesterday but should recover soon. Then why am I feeling so sick this morning?! Arghh...

They say preggie mum tends to have higher body temperature which makes me feel warm and hot all the time! Looks like it is happening for me! I cannot differentiate if I am having a fever or not but definitely not well.

After contemplating for half an hour after waking up, I decided not to go work. It's so hard to decide!!! One man down means alot of work for the rest of the team. Also, I miss my colleagues whenever I at home.. :( my nini, cher cher, mama..

At home = hunger.

At home = boredom.

At home = .... waste of time.

But hubby says.. so many people sick at work.. if i go to work now and contract another strain of virus which adds on to the common cold... it's gonna be worse...

Though I visit the doc, but I seldom take his mediicine. No matter how safe he says it is for pregnancy, I still doubt my bb liver is strong enuf to break down the chemicalx, toxinx and etc...

REST! REST! REST! WATER! WATER! WATER.

Yippee!!! My sister Jerlynn resuscitated my blogshop!!! www.robotsintheskyy.blogspot.com!!!

I do not have to use this space which is meant to be for my bb ger growing up journal anymore!
