Hello Again: Little Moments, Big Memories

Hi everyone. It’s been a while. Four years, to be exact.

The last time I wrote, I was three months pregnant, and then... silence. Well, here’s the answer: Little Chibi happened.

Max was born in November, the same month as me, and this month my Little Chibi turned four! He is now completely obsessed with Hot Wheels, Monster Trucks and dinosaurs. Every single day, without fail, he asks me, “Mommy, which is stronger, T-Rex or Rhinoceros?” (or whichever dinosaur or animal is on his mind that moment).

Motherhood swallowed up every spare minute I had. His first year was a hard battle against RSV, with hospital visits almost every month, so often that the hospital felt like his second home. (I’ll share more about that in a separate post.) The second year brought a different battle: constipation, and the doctor had us do enemas for three days in a row to flush everything out. The third year was all about keeping up with his unlimited energy. And now, in his fourth year, I’m slowly getting little pockets of my life back, and one of them led me right back here.

The blog quietly slipped down my list, but I never stopped missing it.

This little corner of the internet turns 20 next month. Two decades! I started it as a student in 2006, and it has followed me through friendships, relationships, graduation, Shanghai, travels, marriage and the long road to Little Chibi.

So here I am, picking up where I left off. I can’t promise a posting schedule, but I can promise to share the little moments, because they really do become the big memories.

Thank you for waiting.

The Two-Week Wait

For women who are trying to conceive, they know how nerve-wrecking TWW is. I had been through it for close to 2 years when I was trying to conceive naturally. Had shared my journey in my earlier post here . I was prescribed with support medications and given 10 days of medical leave until my pregnancy test. While the chance of success is dependent on the quality of the embryo, the centre did give me a few advice to increase success rate. Although there is no need for complete bed rest, I need to minimise my activities. I was refrained to do activities that may cause strain to the abdomen.  Unfortunately, I am a very stubborn person. I started doing house chores when we got back home from the centre. The husband had tried to stop me from doing the chores but failed. In the end, he reached out to my older brother to tell me off but, guess what my brother suggested to him? Since Horizon Forbidden West was already released that time, he suggested the husband to purchase the game for me...

Results

Semester 3 results are out! It was expected -- at least that makes me happy, but not hoped -- that's sad. I am lucky enough to be able to pass my ASR in spite of its failure rate -- the highest for the previous year, 70%, in my knowledge. In a nutshell, it is great that I am able to proceed to Semester 4 together with the scholarship.

'How was Prom?' A lot of people must be wondering. 'How was it compare to last year's?' Some even asked me this. Well, as the matter of fact, I can't say that this year's was better than last year's or last year was better than this year's. Why is it so? You see, last year, I was one of the Prom Night's committees so, I was not one of the guests who went there and enjoyed the night. This year was a little bit different. I went to prom as one of the many guests. But, this year's lucky draw prizes were great and I was not lucky enough to get one. Initially, Yee Yen and her date was nominated for to be the Prom Princess and Prom Prince but due to she not really not wanting to participate this event, my boy and I were nominated. It did look fun but sadly, my boy and I were really not interested in this kind of stuff and so, we pulled out. After prom, instead of going back home, we went to clubbing. The initial plan was to go to a pub. =/ I so wan...
