This morning, i heard K woke up at 6am and prepared to go to work. I smiled to myself secretly, glad that i could still laze in bed for another 4 more hours. I am beginning to feel like the traditional wife already, staying at home and tidying the house and cooking while the husband goes and earn money. Haha.. = )
I woke up around 11am to someone knocking on my door. It was Edwin, the landlord, here to collect my trash and old towels, and give me some fresh towels, and a new trash bag. I was embarrassed that he had to see me in my pyjamas and worse still, know that i was still not awake at 11am.
I made myself some french toast for breakfast, which turned out quite bad, cause most of them were slightly burnt. So different from what K makes! I think i didn't put enough oil in the frying pan. = ) Breakfast was so heavy i couldn't have lunch until about 4pm. I basically spent the whole day online, researching on pregnancy. What are the exercises i should do, the food i should eat etc. I also attended some online classes to learn more about pregnancy. Then i researched on the hospital prices / fees in Singapore, and also the parenthood rebates and incentives that the government was giving. It was all very intensive. I also called and made my ultrasound scan appointment this Friday morning. They didn't do evenings and weekends, and i want very much for K to be there when we see the baby for the first time, so i guess K won't be able to work on Friday.
I also delivered the good news to several people today. First, i called my grandmother. She didn't seem to understand what i was saying at first, cause there was no reply. But when i asked her again, she told me she knew. I asked if she was happy, and she replied yes. = ) Then i told my sister on MSN. All the questions came out. When i was coming home, what kind of food i should avoid etc etc. It was all really delightful for me.. = )
Then i text my mom and dad, who congratulated me and asked me to take care. I told my dad he needed to get well soon so he can carry my baby when it is born.. Hopefully this will give him the push he needs to recover from his 2 year stroke. I did not tell my in-laws cause i had wanted K to tell them himself. K came home at 530pm, and we drove off to the clinic for my blood test before they close at 6pm. We reached there at 545pm, had 3 tubes of my blood taken for $75, and left the clinic slightly past 6pm. We headed to the video rental store next to exchange a DVD that was faulty. Yesterday, K and I had rented 9 DVDs at $1 each for a week. Super cheap! 2 of them were about pregnancy. "Juno" and "Knocked Up". We've watched "Juno" already, and it's super damn good. The art direction and script writing is really fantastic work. So good that they don't need any big shot actors to sell the film at all.
We reached the motel around 630pm and text Ah Ming to come over. We were supposed to cook noodles / porridge and finish up the tempura / deep fried stuff from our leftover Jap dinner on Sunday. But this naughty Ah Ming replied and asked us not to cook anything cause he was frying noodles. So we just heated up the Jap stuff in the oven. About 30 mins later, they arrived with a big pot of fried maggi noodles with fish cake, cabbage, egg, and some other stuff. It was not too bad although i would have preferred bee hoon.. haha..
We chatted over dinner about the accomodation, work at the vineyards, and my pregnancy. Adreana didn't seem keen on getting the motel for $400 mainly because it was upstairs and she would have to climb up and down everyday. But she changed her mind when we went up to view the unit after dinner. The room was much much bigger, had a living room, and the 2 bedrooms were opposite rather than beside each other so there was privacy. Also, the stairs weren't much of a climb, and there was another staircase leading to the carpark so we didn't have to walk one big round. The other thing was, the unit would be booked for 2 days on 1 and 2 Aug, so we would have to move out to other rooms for 2 days and move in again after. But we didn't mind. So it was set. We will move in this Thursday / Friday. And since i wasn't working, i would be moving the stuff bit by bit in the daytime.
Ah Ming and A left around 9pm, and K and I showered and started on our 2nd DVD "Men on Fire" starring Denzel Washington, Marc Anthony and Dakota Fanning. Marc is such a lousy actor i think he should just stick to singing. Fanning can act 10 times better than him! = )
