I last saw my GP on 25/6, I went to visit him yesterday again! I barely recover for 2 weeks & I caught the flu + cough bug again!! I requested for 2 bottles of cough syrup & he gave 2 types of pills to open up my airway in case my asthma acts up!!! I'm really dreading this stupid cough!!!
*To the irrating bug - Just leave me alone!!!!!!

Depression
Not too sure how one can get depression. Now I can finally understand!
I'm suspecting myself slipping into depression. Last week saw Dr Soong again, my odds at 40:60. Quite high for me to say. Walk out of the clinic, cannot help feeling depressed. I try my best to occupy my mind, but still fail if I divert my attention back to the consultation at the clinic.
I can feel my eyes swell up with tears, but at the same time cannot let Colin see lest he gets worried.
I have 2 mths to mentally prepared myself. I can do it!!!!!! Once I hold my baby in my arms, all effort is worth it!!!!

Surprise turned disaster!!
I'm not going to order anymore things from Far East Flora. What seems to be a surprise for my mum turned disaster for me, lucky for me my mum doesn't know what I have planned for her.
This is my first & last time ordering from them, they have lost a valued customer cos their driver screw up my delivery, they got a good lashing from me & they'll never hear from me ever again!!
NO MORE FAR EAST FLORA FOR THE REST OF MY LIVE!!!!!

I'm so so sad :(
Yesterday while preparing to go to work, I took out my pink coach bag & put all my barang inside. Just before I step out of the house, I notice the stitches came out slightly but I was not too bothered cos I'm rushing for time! *I'll post pics tomorrow*
While I'm in the cab, on the way to my parents place to hitch a ride in my sis car, the part where the stitches came out become more of an eye sore to me, Colin bought this bag for me in Feb which is just 2 mths ago & the stitches already start coming out.
After I reach home, I went to look for the receipt cos I remember the sales assistant told me there's 6 mths warranty but not too sure if this is covered but I still wanna try my luck. I search my whole room but couldn't find the receipt, so went to call the outlet instead
This kind sales assistant which I didn't get her name say will call me back after I describe the damage to her, since I misplace the receipt they really need to look thru their system.
Her supervisor by the name of June called me, I explain the damage to her one more time & she's really patience listening to me (bravo for that!). She say thats not covered under warranty as its wear & tear!! I told her if its one year after I own the bag I'll believe its wear & tear, not 2 mths!! This is really ridiculous, we're talking about Coach here, not those pasar malam bags leh. She requested me to bring down the bag, I told her earliest is either this Fri or Sun cos I'm working, I promise to call her before I go down.
Today I couldn't make it in time to hitch a ride in my dad's car so decided to work from home, Colin suggest that since I'm more available in the noon ask me to bring my bag down to Taka, I called the outlet to make sure June is around & estimate my arrival time is around 3pm.
2.15 - I was already at Taka but just happens June went down for lunch, I went to walk around aimlessly for a good 1 hour.
3.15pm - I went back & June is back! I show her the bag & again she say that is under wear & tear!! I told her this is only bought 2 mths ago & I didn't even use it on a daily basis, how can it wear & tear so fast!! The shop is quite crowded & I'm quite sure some of the ladies there have heard me quite loud & clear.
June went off to a room, maybe talk to her boss & I went to kpo in the shop, see & touch new bags then she came to me saying "we'll waived off the charges this time round cos we value you as our customer (by right I have to pay $40 to get the problem fixed), so I told her quite loud I pressume that this is Coach, I expect your bags are off high quality & its really a bag I love so much!!! I dun expect wear & tear to show just after 2 mths, its really something I cannot accept!
After getting the necessary paperwork done, I casually ask how long does the repair take, she told me 1 to 2 mths *faintz*, since I'm not paying a single cent for the repair I just have to wait. She say she'll call me again on Thurs to see how the repair will be done after she speak to her vendor.
But I really have to give thumbsup for their service, they're so patience & really return my calls, even though I'm still sad at the end of the day, their good & patience service really put a smile on my face. In all conversation with me, they'll greet me as "Ms Audrey, can u pls sign here or Ms Audrey, I'll take down ur number to return ur call". This is what I call good customer service & they value me as their customer, it makes me feel worthwhile going thru all the hassle.

My poor Shyenne :(
Yesterday for the first time, Shyenne called my dad's hp & complain. The moment my dad answer the call, Shyenne say "ah gong, naughty boy eat my face", my dad obviously don't understand what she's saying so he pass the phone to my sis. This girl said the same thing to mummy "mummy, naughty boy eat my face", I can see there's a lot of question mark on my sis face, my mum's helper further explained to my sis that there's this boy in her class bite her face & her face is very very red.
My sis very angry with what had happen immediately called the teacher. Her teacher explained that Shyenne is lying on the mattress with another student, this boy for no reason went to bite her face & went to bite the other student's finger & best of all the teacher didn't inform the affected parents!! They so conveniently say that they're busy & forgot to call, win liao lor!! This boy have been biting the students in the class on a daily basis *faintz*. We're all not happy with how the teachers handle the situation, if Shyenne never call & complain (she never do this before, it must be so painful that trigger her to call mummy & complain), we're only know when we get home!!
When I went back to my parents place last night, I saw the teeth mark on her face, so heartache!! The mark is so deep (paiseh, I have no heart to take pics of her face, but my BIL took pics of her face cos he's going to sch on Mon & bang table & maybe withdraw this poor girl from the sch), the moment Shyenne saw Colin she went to tell him "uncle, naughty boy eat my face"
Lets see how the school handle my sis & BIL on Mon when they're there.

Suay...
Suay (unlucky in hokkien), is really the right word to use for this post.
For the past few days, I've been calling up dunno how many housing agents to enquire about the EA they advertise in papers just to know the current housing market situation.
Last night, Colin ask me to compare pricing between hougang central & hougang ave 9 pricing (our next house will definitely be out of hougang). This agent from ERA (no offence to those from ERA) is really irritating & he better dun call me again.
He advertise 2 units, blk 9xx so I called to enquire. But the cash the owners are asking is really crazy, so he ask so many questions, I told him straight I'm looking at a few areas. This irritating fella (almost labelled him as idiot) ask if I'm looking outta Hougang, he nearly get fired by me, me being nice say "of cos I'm looking out of hougang area & we've yet to decide which area we want cos we just started looking for 2 days!"
Today he call again (lucky I use house phone not my handphone), in fact he call twice cos we're not home to answer the earlier call, heng ah!
It was close to 5pm when he call, nice timing cos Colin just knock out in his afternoon nap!
ERA: Miss, have you decided which area you want
Me: Not yet & not so soon cos we're not in the hurry & may not move afterall
ERA: I thought you've decided so I can service you
Me: *in my mind I've so decided not to let this idiot service me"* I'm still looking around, definitely not looking at hougang area
ERA: What areas are you looking at
Me: We're looking at AMK, bishan & bt batok *his reaction was "wah, so many areas" WTH
Whole conversation lasted around 10 mins, but seems forever to me, cos I really hate this kind of agent, who on earth will be in the right state of mind to make haste decision & he really ask a lot of fei hua (rubbish), the most ultimate move I make was just to hang up his call cos I cannot take it anymore. I dun have good impression of ERA agents & this fella just give me more bad impression.
I really hope he doesn't call again, if not I dun think Colin will have such patience to handle him

Digress!
Just before I update my 5 days holiday, I have something to digress
Soon after we arrive at Taipei's airport, we cleared the immigration & collected our luggage, we went to the arrival hall to look for our transfer. I told Colin to lookout as well, we search the whole arrival hall, couldn't find our transfer at all!! I took out my handphone & called the operator & was greeted with a real shocking news, my stupid agent have forgotten to book my transfer!!
Imagine my shock when I heard it & the guy who answered my call was so helpful, he initiated to call the taiwan counterpart & promise to call me back. 5 mins gone & no calls from him, so I called back, he say there's nobody answering the call, I told him its Sun & everybody is off so just give me a solution!
Then I heard another guy screaming in the background say there's no more cars available to pick us up from airport, so either I take a cab myself or stay overnite in the airport.
Definitely something not very pleasant to start my holiday. On Mon which is the 2nd day of my holiday, I called up my agent & ask what exactly is going on & they themself got a shock, when I went back to my hotel at 3pm, the reception pass me a box of pineapple cake & inside the bag was a letter of apology, 30 mins later the taiwan counterpart followed up with a call of apology & fully refunded me my cab fare, actual cab fare was NT1200, but I claim NT1300, NT100 for my phone bill & inconvenience, I rest the case & continue to enjoy my holiday. They're just so efficient, I think they're afraid that I'll badmouth them so quickly do whatever they can to minimise the damage.

Bad experience with Mac delivery
Tues noon around 3.30pm, I was feeling hungry & went Mac website to order some food. I was too lazy to go downstair to grab any food cos it was pouring at my side. It was the most stupid decision I ever make that day.
After ordering my favourite mac nuggets meal, I receive an email & it say my food will be delivered to my door before 4.35pm. I was in my room with tv on, and the door is a distant away, so I won't be able to hear anything, my baby is one dog that doesn't bark at anybody who knocks on the door, she was happily wagging her tail cos she thought somebody is at the door coming to play with her!!
With my past experience from Mac delivery, they'll call me when they're at the door, I was just expecting their call.
4.20pm, the delivery guy is at my door, probaby knock on my door a few times & yet I didn't respond.
Delivery guy: "I knock on your door a few times why you never open the door"
Me: *he was freaking rude* I reply "give me a sec, I'll be at the door" *take keys also need time right*
When I open the door, I was being greeted with a real black charcoal face, obviously not a very pleasant experience that I have. He pass me the order & immediately ask me to aknowledge my order without me checking, if its not becos I paid my order by credit card, I would like rejected him right away.
I was also on the verge of lodging a complain with their management on my "wonderful service" by their "professional delivery guy". I understand its rainging & they have to brave through the rain to deliver my order to me, but in my humble opinion, it doesn't warrant them to give such a rude service to customers.
I'll still order from them, cos this is the most convenient way of filling up my tummy when I'm too lazy to move my legs out of my house

Worse Birthday I ever had...
This year's birthday is the worse day I ever spend. Sun nite, Colin said we're going back to his parents place for dinner, I agreed even though I was very sick, I was having a very bad running nose & started coughing due to my flu, I thought he'll be kind enough to either bring food home or order pizza hut home so that I can rest.
7.30pm we went over to his parents place, I was already not very happy cos I'm so sick & yet still need to go out. Reached his parents place, after we finished our dinner, his mum say she's cooking winter melon desert & told us to wait for a while more, I was so full & so sick that I couldn't wait to get home to take my med & sleep. Colin insisted on waiting for us to digest a little of our dinner so that we can enjoy the desert. It was 9pm & I'm also half dead, I'm on the verge of screaming my head off at him to go home, he ask me if I want a bowl of desert, where got appetite to eat, he went to enjoy while I was waiting for him, he even ask if I want to tabao home, seriously I'm going to snap at him any min, he tabao 1 small bowl home thats for himself.
Just before we step out of his parents place, I saw our car spare key hanging near the door so I asked him whats the key doing there & insisted to bring it home. At that time his mum is standing just behind us, I insisted him to take home with us he say he'll bring home another day, I cannot understand what he's waiting for so we started another round of argument from the lift all the way home, I even questioned him why his parents is holding to our house keys, I want it back too.
Obviously he's not happy & I'm pissed, reached home he started preaching his grandfather story ask why I draw such a clear line. Hello, can I not take back my stuff? Everything I'm at fault! The clock struck midnight, my friends started buzzing my hp & msn with all the birthday wishes, but none from him!! At 2.30am, I went to bed waking up on & off and thats a very bad start to my birthday.
I woke up at 12+pm, walk out of the room & found him in the study room & still nothing from him!! I was so so so disappointed already, went to open the fridge & saw a bouquet of sunflowers + a cake. Obviously he didn't know I never like sunflower & best of all he didn't even know tulips is my all time love.
While chatting with my friends in msn, I decided to buzz my best friend & ask her out. Went out & met her at chinatown & both of us started our crazy ranting session. Only then I realise, my friends treat me better than him. When I'm out he didn't even ask my whereabouts, no birthday wishes from him also!! All the sms I receive are from my friends!! My friends know my birthday better than him.
I parted with my friend at 10.15pm, reach home at 11pm and still nothing from him!! & I'm tired to the bones! Waited till the clock stuck midnight & it doesn't matter to me anymore cos my birthday is over! This is the "best" birthday I ever spend

he's a complete idiot!!
What an idiot!! His parents think we own a bank or since when money grow on trees for us to pluck?!
The few big ticket item that we paid this year for them, Mar/Apr their trip to China, that cost us $1200, Jul his mum went HK with his bro & he kindly sponsored $500 that exclude our own taiwan trip, my parents were so nice to sponsor us $2K to spend in taiwan even though I insist that I'll pay for my own holiday. All these expenses his sis NEVER contribute at all, I really mean not a single cent. Now I start to think if she belong to the family, son must bear all the cost? My own parents whatever we buy we 3 siblings were share the cost to be fair, my bro pay lesser cos NS man not much money also but at least he still contribute.
I've labelled his sis as handicap dunno how long ago, each time we go back & if I see her in my heart I'll say "oh handicap is at home".
I'm making my stand very very clear to him, if his sis is not going to contribute a single cent to the household, I'm not going to pay for anything. I'm not going to be taken as a fool anymore. Still can tell me I should leave room to negiotiate, maybe he contribute $200 the rest is his mum problem. Hello, don't say $200 now, $20 I also don't feel like giving. Never see parents not sparing a thought for their poor kids, working so hard to maintain their own family yet gotta worry about those useless item but come with a big ticket items.
I'm going crazy any min with all these financial stuff, don't try driving me up the wall!!

All these expenses his sis NEVER contribute at all, I really mean not a single cent. Now I start to think if she belong to the family, son must bear all the cost? My own parents whatever we buy we 3 siblings were share the cost to be fair, my bro pay lesser cos NS man not much money also but at least he still contribute.
I've labelled his sis as handicap dunno how long ago, each time we go back & if I see her in my heart I'll say "oh handicap is at home".
I'm making my stand very very clear to him, if his sis is not going to contribute a single cent to the household, I'm not going to pay for anything. I'm not going to be taken as a fool anymore. Still can tell me I should leave room to negiotiate, maybe he contribute $200 the rest is his mum problem. Hello, don't say $200 now, $20 I also don't feel like giving. Never see parents not sparing a thought for their poor kids, working so hard to maintain their own family yet gotta worry about those useless item but come with a big ticket items.
I'm going crazy any min with all these financial stuff, don't try driving me up the wall!!

Not a very happy christmas this year
In actual fact I should be feeling very happy, cos christmas eve marks the 6th year since Colin & I knew each other.
Yesterday we went Marina square & Suntec for shopping, after that we drop by my in-laws place and his bro told us that my MIL want to buy a cake mixer that will cost $800!! You guys didn't read wrongly & there's no typo at my end, his bro say we share the cost, Colin without 2nd thoughts & without discussing with me agreed to this big ticket item. First thing that cross my mind, how long will this cake making hobby last? I was not happy the entire evening, this year have been a year of roller-coaster ride for me, next year will not be easy for me either, I'm going for SO-IUI treatment, each time be it positive or negative news will cost me $2K. I'm feeling very strain financially & best of all, Colin don't feel it at all, probably becos I'm paying all the bills, see figures depleting from our account is making me think twice on a lot of things, some big ticket items which I really hope to buy I don't even dare to dream to own it & Colin just simply agree to let his mum buy a cake mixer?
I really hope he read this cos even though he told his mum to look for a cheaper model, its still going to cost us a few hundred, cny coming, my fertility treatment is coming, so many big ticket items coming my way & yet I cannot choose to ignore all the figures. If the mixer cost something like $300 to $400 I really don't mind blessing my MIL with one, but I look around and I think the cheapest will still be in $700 range.
I'm eyeing on a heart shape pendant from Goldheart, that one after less will cost $1K, didn't even dare to have designs on that, all these are just material items which I can do without.
*secretly cried in office without Colin's knowledge & hope after I pen this down I can have a good night sleep & not thinking about that big ticket item that he's going to buy for his mum, I'm really not happy & don't wish to blow this matter up & have another coldwar with him. I HATE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OTHERS, BUT HIS FAMILY IS TAKING ADVANTAGE ME FOR GRANTED, THEIR CAR'S ENGINE OIL PROBLEM NOW BECOME MY PROBLEM COS I NEED TO SPONSOR THEM WITH 1 FULL CARTON!!!!

Sillypore new cab fare structure by Comfortdelgro
Flagging down a Comfort or CityCab will cost $0.30 more at $2.80.
The metered fare has also been adjusted. It will cost $0.20 per 385 metres of travel for the first 10 kilometres. This will go up to $0.20 per 330 metres for journeys beyond 10 kilometres.
It will cost $0.20 for every 45 seconds of waiting time.
Instead of the $2 surcharge for peak hour travel, there will now be a premium levied. It will be 35 per cent of the metered fare.
And the CBD surcharge will go up from the existing $1 to $3.
*above info extracted from Channelnewsasia.com
Seriously speaking I find the above adjustment crazy, if you compare with Perth (I was there for 2 yrs), the meter is still consider cheap, living standards are much higher here & I'm feeling the strain. From next week onwards, I'll only take taxi when very necessary, other times I'll just take mrt & bus to get to my destination even if it means I need 3 hrs to get to wherever I'm going

Not easy to be angel...
Why such a subject? cos today we both went to work, my mth end report is 90% done. In office, I cannot let my dad know we quarreling, if not nagging start & he'll say he wanna come my house!! So in office I act as if nothing has happen, if the phone call is for him, I'll just say his name slightly louder to get his attention if my dad is around, if my dad is not around I'm so tempted to say "siao eh, ur call, take it or leave it"
Just before I start packing my laptop, he came over & ask me to give in. For the past 2 days, no signs of feeling remorseful & wanna me to forgive him like that!? I feel like asking him, if this is the first day he know me, no sorry, literally nothing at all!! walk to the car, it was drizzerling outside, as usual once I get caught in the rain I get headache.
He bought LJS for dinner, I feel like asking him, why waste money, I won't eat anything that he bring home, wanna show me attitude, I have lotsa time to play with u!! Me whole day only eat lunch & he buy fried food?? Like to see me suffer getting stomach flu issit, say so lah. Buy 1 pack of chicken rice for me & I eat with chilli sure get it, then u'll be on cloud9
*sorry friends, past few postings only directed at 1 person, I shall share my happy moments soon!

My Saturday got ruined...
This morning Colin send my MIL to see TCM, appt is scheduled at 9am, I believe he's out of the house before 8am. I woke up at 10am & called his hp hoping to hear him say that he's on his way home buying breakfast for me. But instead, he told me he's going chinatown with my MIL to buy yong tau foo for tonight's dinner, my blood starting boiling, I even feel like asking him if he knows his wife got nothing to eat at home starving to death any min, he hurriedly hung up the call & say he's driving & he's not using handsfree. I call 1 min later and ask if he'll swing by our place, hoping to hear a yes from him, he know no he's going straight to chinatown, wanna tag along to go chinatown for breakfast also cannot. When he reach chinatown, he call me & say his mum is buy vege & he's waiting for her, I'm on the verge of screaming my head off at him, buy vege must go all the way to chinatown? Hougang so big with dunno how many markets around, eat the vege in hougang will shorten our life span by 5 years issit, all vege also import from msia wat
Then Colin started asking wat I wanna eat, my tummy filled with anger already where got mood to wait for ur tabao, u still need to send ur beloved mum home & maybe even need to help her carry her grocery home, by the time u reach home already dunno wat time. I sms him & told him straight, he promise me on friday night he'll be back home by 10am, but 12pm I still can't even see his shadow, tell u dun buy lunch this idiot really never buy any food home, good grief. I'm so lazy to go downstair cos I'm so sick of eating those food, and no tabao for me, so at the end of the day I learn my lesson, mothers are always & forever more important than wife. Mother cannot starve but wife can, can ditch wife at home but cannot ditch mum. I've been eating his mum's cooking for the past 2 weeks, dying to eat something else, at his parents place everything also cannot eat.
First reply he give me when he got home "dear I didn't know you'll wake up so early?!" duhz, 10am is the usual time I get up unless I sleep real late on Fri nite, what a lame excuse! so you're hoping I'll call you at 12pm when you finally reach home then only hear you happily tell me "I send my mum to chinatown to buy vege" hello, u din even bring ur wife go chinatown for some decent meal for dunno how many donkey mths, if my memory never fail me, the last decent meal I eat at chinatown is in July!! reason u brought me to chinatown is to collect our airticket!! and that meal is not just the 2 of us, I eat with ur parents & we have to pay for the bloody meal also!!
Now I just return from Compass Point cos I need to get a gift for Irene's baby shower, I help one of my girl's buy pigeon bottle wash cos it got twin pack offer, carrying this home is no joke, I feel that my wound is going to tear any min cos its heavy.
Actually intended to shop with him after he come home at 10am, go eat breakfast or brunch together, thats our plan, we even discuss it on Fri nite, but becos of someone all plans go down the drain, still got the cheek to tell me I never sms him my whereabouts, hello Mr Lim, I no longer 3 year old, do I need to report what time I eat, wat time I drink & wat time I shit!?
*To all my Friends, I need to pen this down before I go crazy, can ignore cos I'm just need to get my frustration across & wake this idiot up from all his stupid ideas

Its been more than a week since I last blog, nothing much to write cos its been pretty busy in office & I'm really lazy
Last week, there's somebody who is really irritating that I must pen it down to get it off my chest before I get insomia. She buzz me in msn & tell me this mth's issue Today's parents there's an article saying there's 5 ways to conceive & I need not go through ivf, I really cannot believe my eyes when she say that, and she even tell me she'll scan the article to show me, my blood is boiling at that time, here I am just managed to face the reality & there she is rubbing salt on my wound that is just healed. I went to a few places to hunt this magazine but to no avail, I give up finding cos if there's really an alternate way, Dr Soong would have say it long ago, and even Dr Gan say the same thing, with 2 doctors conculsion, I'm facing a almost dead end
Enough of this irritating girl. Lately found a comforting forum & there's a lot of girls going through the same shit hole as me & the best part they conceive on their first attempt, that really spurs my confident level up by at least 30% but not pinning much hope either
I shall blog again when I find time

My most heavy hearted weekend
On Thurs, started to have signs of running nose again, why the timing always weekend!? I really wonder... on Fri, in office trying to clear my work, my flu become full-blown, till my girls shun far far away from me, I was sneezing non-stop but I dare not pop pills cos that med is known to knock me out into dreamland within 2 hrs, so I endure, head felt heavy & my nose is as red as red nose reindeer
Went back to my parents place for dinner, din have much appetite so eat for the sake of eating. Since I'm running a really bad flu, I have to stay clear from Shyenne & Sherlise & Colin have a good time playing with Shyenne & I only can stand in 1 corner to watch.
Sat was the worse weekend I ever spend, Colin is scheduled to see a Andrology at Mt E, I went with a heavy heart but praying for a miracle. Appointment is at 10.30am, but we only reach Mt E at 11am cos of a stupid jam at CTE. Dr Enoch Gan went for a procedure and will only be back at 12pm, we went to lucky plaza for a drink to kill time. Finally its 12pm, we went back to the clinic but Dr Gan not back yet & we only saw him at 12.30pm, cut the long story short, our only option left to have a child is to go thru ivf-icsi, cost is a big concern for us & since I'm still young, chances of success is pretty high.
The whole afternoon I was surfing net to find out more on ivf-icsi, Will be making appointment to see my beloved Dr Soong next week & we'll probably be referred to the fertility center. Have a very heated argument with Colin now cos he always choose to go out when I'm not well & I still can't help feeling heavy hearted till now. What can I do? I still can't accept the facts & I nearly cried at Dr Gan's clinic
*we're not on talking terms now, have not speak to each other for more than 12 hrs already. I really wanna cry my heart out & hopefully I'll feel better after that
