Wriggle wriggle

MANFRED, your every wriggling motion in me makes me smile like an idiot, coz sometimes it can get quite ticklish. Ah, again.

You like today's lunch don't u? Potatoes again! Cheap and good. Economic rice again.

Sorry, last night mummy back was aching and I slept on my back instead of my left. :(
Tonight I'll try left. But sometimes really feel the numbness from sleeping in de same position for so long.

Tonight daddy got IPT. We need to dine alone. Bleahs. I knoe u miss daddy le. Esp when u didn't get to see daddy this morning. Silly boy.

27 Feb.

A Date Michael Tong and Michele Ong cannot forget.

Be it the past 11 years, now, or 111 years later, it's a date so deeply engraved in our hearts. If we are still able to celebrate together, it will be a day of infinity bliss and sweetness. If we aint able to as many many years passed, I'm sure it will be a bittersweet day, when there left only one of us to celebrate this day alone.

This year 2012, it was special, as we get to see our little boy at his 20 weeks. :) Manfred Tong @ 5 months.

Everything was good, so far so good. Just that I may have a low-lying placenta. :( I really wanted to try natural birth, if I have a low lying placenta, then will have to go for C-sect, and may experience bleeding in late trimester.

Doc Ho said it will be by chance, and 90% chance it may move up itself, there is really nothing much I can do, just to stay Happy i guess.

We watched a nice weekday movie "This Means War", with very good storyline, and had a WOOHOO dinner at Nagomi @ Cuppage plaza - a place where our love story begins (in a way). Like, one of the most expensive dinner we ever had! $300++ for both of us. But it was worth it, it was a very homely experience, with chef looking into his fridge and see what he can cook for us. I told him that I cant take raw stuff and we dont take beef. So nothing of those sort when the 7 course dinner was served. It was oh-so-yummy and cosy. Really nice.

We had HAIRY crab, and the "gao" was so GAO!! But I cant have much, only a little bit, thats enough to make me melt. Mmmmm!!!

Baby feedback that his sashimi was sweet and fresh >.< I CANT HAVE ANY!! *Scratch walls. Band walls.***

BABY, I WANNA GO BACK AFTER I GIVE BIRTH!!! I DONT CARE DONT CARE!!!

And as usual, we watched Mentalist until we (maybe only I) fell asleep. >.<baby is not a human, he sleeps ever so late!

Little Manfred was excited yesterday over dinner. :) Silly Boy! He loves Nagomi too!

Manfred @ 20周。

And Mummy got 3ds For Manfred

Ahem.... Hehe. And we got it. :)

Nice! But lame... we didnt buy any 3D game as it was too expensive. :P But mummy really bought it at the rightest time. Coz we are going to stay until damn late at work tonight... like maybe 4am. Sorry Manfred, u really have to bear with Mummy tonight ok? Because Mummy took up a challenge from that stupid woman. Mummy wanna show her that I don't take my pregnancy as a privilege, and I will do all out just to complete my work. Also, Boss knew about her "challenge" .. he was quite pissed with her challenging a preggie woman... abit "heartless", and she is a mother. How could she do that. Oh well... it's ok hor, Manfred. We will show her OK. Pls go and zzz first when your tired... after kicking me for quite some time today. :P Notti Boy!

Muacks. Manfred will be strong and tough like Mummy. :)

Morale of the story, PLEASE DO NOT GROW UP TO BE A DESIGNER, or work in a Design Agency. :D:D:D

keke.

Hyper Lil Baby

Manfred Tong, U sure are very active tonight, super hyper lil boy.

Good boy to be able to gobble down the meddy without much puking effect. Maybe becoz mummy ate a pc of potato chip and it covered the YUCKY taste >:)

Saw Wendy's sister today at nai nai's market stall, and she is also pregnant! But her tummy cannot see. And so everyone asked me "WHY YOUR STOMACH SO BIG?" Manfred, ignore their comments ok? So long as you are healthy, it's OK. Mummy will carry you. :)

Big is Good. Manfred, be strong and healthy. :)

Alright Mummy is gonna watch Mentalist with Daddy. :) Daddy is finally gonna spend some quality TV time with us. No iPhone disturbance. I know Manfred likes it more, when Daddy stroke stroke you.

Ok, lets enjoy the show :)

My life surrounds you....

Manfred Tong, you are not just part of me, but I feel that I m part of u in fact. I'm your creator machine, my appetite and mood really all depend on u, although u r only a 15cm thingy inside me.

I pray, only for u.
I eat, whatever u want to eat.
I'm happy becoz I feel u.
I'm worried when I don't.

But if only there is something that we can do to stop daddy from smoking. It's not hard to quit, it's really up to his determination. To me, he is a guy who can be really determined and motivated , but why is he not like that when it comes to quitting smoking. He doesn't even have the intention to quit smoking. :( that's the ultimate saddening part.

I get very pissed off when I smell even 3rd hand smoke nowadays. Super sensitive to such smell.

And daddy is not helping to protect you. >:(

Maybe there r some things that the father don't feel it.

Maybe we should leave daddy further away.

It's not easy to be preggie.

Lil Manfred, as far as this process of having u and then welcoming u in this world is a thrilling and overwhelming journey. There are also a lot of other emotions involved that other people wouldn't understand.

As the tummy grows bigger, the more useless you would feel. Ur speed of walking slows down, u walk clumsily. Often u feel like carrying a weight in ur tummy and it's so bloated that you can't go any faster. You just wanna sit down and go nowhere. But the tot of exercising is good for both of us, it could even motivate me to walk the stairs everytime.

You can't help in carrying heavy things which your popo would not let me. And I have to like take charge of the light items, and my old parents take on the heavier ones.

It's not easy when u become second best at work. Boss used to ask u to settle all things. But when he look at ur stomach, he sigh and ask someone without a stomach to come in as well.

Thou the above sometimes could really made me depressed and sob a little, but a kick from u everynight is like waving your magic wand, and everything is gonna be OK. When I see u thru that tv screen every 3 weeks, I smile from ear to ear. I have Manfred. (*^﹏^*)

Little boy, all I have is you now and you're my only pillar of support and hope. noone else i can rely on but U made me believe and have faith in life again. Please treat yourself nice in there. Eat more. Grab more essentials from mummy! Grab! Snatch. Mummy dun need so much to survive. You do! U wouldn't believe the love I have for u already my boy.

July doesn't have to come fast. I'm enjoying these 24/7 times with you.

Manfred tong, we r gg dinner with popo gonggong...

Dunno what time ur daddy done. Sigh.

Daddy is occupied with work, work and work and also IPT.

Little Manfred has mummy OK?

Daddy won't be able to spend too much time with Manfred even when u are born. Daddy is a v busy man. Either he is working or his hands glued to his beloved iPhone. mummy hates it, esp when he is doing that over dinner table. I think it's really rude to face ur dinner mate with the back of ur iPhone. Manfred cannot do that OK? Mummy will confiscate ur phone.

Later we go IKEA k? Muacks

Maximus Manfred Tong...

Hmmm..... see, daddy still prefer Maximus then he can teach u fighting. --

So we may end up giving u 2 names.

Manfred, backaches I have in the morning, why ah? And also sitting in de chair. Why ah?

dun like....

But mummy likes Manfred Tong, U!

Little Manfred Tong, why so bloated today?

Mummy is hungry, yet bloated. :(

How? Like that no dinner for u leh. No space for food thou hungry. Or shit too much stored inside? --

Daddy is doing his IPT now.


Manfred, when u grow up, u will get to see many ugly truths in this world. It's no longer innocent and beautiful like when u were young. But one thing u must know is that your family, especially mummy will go all out to protect you even when u r very old, and mummy is very very old. If you have a younger brother or sister next time, you must also protect them OK? Home is the safest harbour u can count on. We can overcome all, together united.

When mummy start to use the cane on u, u will hate me and in your class essay, u will write your most hated person is mummy coz she always beat u. But Manfred, beating is the last resort mummy will use just because I want you to be a good person heading in the right direction.

There's so much Mummy will want to tell u... but not all at once.

Slowly....

Pu Zai Goh for breakfast!

Yummy right????

BB like? I think u like lor, don't gey gey.u gobbled down all 6!

cheers to pu zai goh.(in Cantonese) So soft! YUM!

Mummy not supposed to wear contact lens!

Little Manfred, Mummy has read that she is not allowed to wear contact lens. Aiyo, lucky I made the specs in time to wear daily until you are borned! :D

Gotten from a webby...

Pregnant women do not wear contact lenses is best because of the following:

1, endocrine changes during pregnancy can make women with mild corneal edema, corneal center quail increased, if at this time to wear contact lenses, more emphasis on the cornea of oxygen, reducing its sensitivity, easy to corneal damage.

2 women during pregnancy to reduce tear secretion and increase mucus in the tear, wear contact lenses, foreign body sensation in eyes often felt dry eyes, wear eye and not comfortable.

3, women during pregnancy, conjunctival contracture of the small arteries occurs, blood flow reduction, if occurring at this time due to wear contact lenses even more painful than usual fire conjunctiva.

4, the curvature of the cornea of pregnant women will also be some changes, about 50% of pregnant women can not wear the original contact lenses, refractive error should be the right size replacement lenses.

5, pregnant women occur during pregnancy decreased IOP, vision will increase and so reduce the discomfort of wearing contact lenses.

P.S: I want to get that maternity pillow!

Can't wait for the matternity pillow.

Baby, mummy can't wait for the pillow. Was reading on forum and other mummies say it's comfy n it keeps them on lying on the left side.

3月1号快点来。

我要买生日礼物给自己了。

Lunchtime!

Little Manfred, this is nasi lemak!!! I know u wanted economic vege rice, nomore vege le. :(

将就点啦。

Manfred Tong waiting for daddy to pang gang

Yes, Manfred Tong, bear your tiny hunger for a while and we will go have a good dinner later with daddy OK?

Raining??? Wtf!

I know today has been a rush and tiring day for us. Aiyo. So many things urgent. Today today today! so next time don't work in agency k? :p

But mummy still love my job. :)

I dunno about u Manfred, but next time would u go for passion or for pay? It's a question everyone will face in their lives. Unless u r 道明寺。Then again, its fictional, so doesn't exist. Haha. Mummy would go for a reasonable pay, but passion At 70%! Son, there is no point dragging ur feet to work everyday coz u face work 60-70% Of ur time daily. Life literally sucks if ur job super duper sucks. :p

But of coz there is this bottom line that at least u need to received ur fair share of bread and butter.

There is a lot of things in life u gotta encounter. So much that even mummy is still learning until I say goodbye.

Save ur punches.

BB tong, save ur punches tmr do exercise n wake mummy up k? Now is bedtime. Go and sleep.

Thanks for waking me up at 2.24am n realised that ur father was still playing games.

And I was feeling so warm, and u were punching me actively.

And best, ur father wasn't helping at all. Now I know why they said partners support are important. These couple of Days, I was deprived of love n concern, made me drop afew tears too.

Instead of asking me if I was alright, if I wanted a warm milk or something, or he said was: "Tsk! Can u mute ur phone?!( coz I need to sleep)"

very helpful, as if he wasn't part of this parenting process...

I'm hungry. ;'(

Little Manfred, spend Valentines Day with Mummy.

Little Manfred, it will be Valentines Day in 2 days time. :)

It's good to have Little Manfred with me, my little love inside me. I know Daddy has never been keen in occasions like that, but still, for a girl, its still a special day. Let us go on a date, you and me.

:) We will satisfy our taste-buds, savour foods that we dont do it often.

During Mummy's birthday, Daddy wont be around too. So, let Little Manfred be with mummy ok? And let us satisfy and pamper ourselves once again. :)

It's a blessing, little Manfred. It's good to have you.

P.S: why am i feeling queasy now.

Manfred Tong Chang ________

The last character we will only get to know after Manfred is borned coz we would need to bring to the "master" to calculate. (I mean, Manfred will stay true is Doc Ho din scan the wrong thing) :)

Manfred Tong, Mummy likes this name because it means Strength and Peace. Life has its ups and downs. When you are faced with the Down sides, I want you to find the strength to pick yourself up through peace and calmness. Alot of mistakes committed were actually unintentional but because people let their mind take over them and became rash. Mummy wants u to be calm, THINK and act. Not Act and Regret later.

Yup, there was this initial name called Maximus, which means the great. It was good, but Mummy wants you to be humble. Even if you are the greatest and noone would win you, Mummy wants you to remain humble and not be arrogant about it. Then, you can improve and be even better. Therefore, this name is kinda ... kicked out. Thou Daddy still likes it.

Times when Mummy feels down and needs to cry a little, I really hope little Manfred wont be affected. :) SMILE. Mummy has her problems to deal with, and Manfred do not have to worry, not even a bit. Mummy will take care of it. I just want you to enjoy your best in that little cosy corner of mummy's womb. When you grow up, You will have your fair share of the worries and problems that mummy is facing now...

You will be reluctant to do your homework, and then you will hate mummy for punishing you when you are naughty. You will learn vulgarities, you will start to watch porn. You will fall in love when you meet The Girl. You will go on dates, you will face break ups too. You will get heartbroken. Son, these are just basic part and parcel of life that you have to face. By there, you may not want to share all these little details with Mummy, and will just lock yourself in your room. But I just wan you to know that, as long as I'm around, I WILL ALWAYS TO THERE FOR YOU, 2 ear and a shoulder available. Hugs and Kisses too, (if you really don't mind, by then.)

That is what a family is for ok? To be there for one another. To skip whatever appointments we have with the outside people, and rush home to offer hugs and a nice dinner together. :) Well, at least that is what Mummy thinks would be ideal.

It's week 18 today! 2 more weeks before we see you again on 27th Feb, which happened to be Mummy and Daddy anniversary, 11 years ago. Woah.

Manfred Tong, Mummy loves you.

It's a Birdie!

See the penis.

BB, daddy and mummy will be seeing you tmrw. Can you be guai guai and show us whether U have birdie or no birdie. Are u a boy boy or girl girl? So that mummy and daddy can prepare your stuff le mah. :)

Mummy is really excited and can't wait to hold u in my arms. At the mean time it actually feels good to protect u when your inside me. Hee.

I guess it's not easy for all parents to raise their kids. And their endless worries. BB will u be guai next time when you grow up and not make daddy mummy angry too much?

I think I'm going to look at your cousin devean more. Coz I think he is very cute. :) but if u girl girl, I no girl girl bb to look at wor. ;p

Anyway Daddy said that must let you eat what you want to eat, else next time you will DROOL (like when Daddy sleep).... haha!

Hmm... I really want to eat Salmon sashimi though. :(
