Everytime I travel, it's always a nice feeling to walk through the departure gates of any airport.
At Changi Airport, the feeling is usually good because I am a step nearer to my holiday destination. Furthurmore, the carpeted floor at the immigration, the big brand names of tax-free shopping is so welcoming.
At overseas' airports, the feeling is also good because I am heading back Home Sweet Home. No matter how much fun I had during the holiday, nothing beats HOME.
However, I have come to realise that there are moments of saddness at departure gates too. I have never experienced it until someone close chose to walk through that gate. Once you witness the "crossing over" to the other side, everything seems really far. We were just seperated by a glass wall, but it is a true real case of "So near, yet so far".
Of course, on the lighter side, there will be goodness coming out of this temporary seperation and hope that everything will work out smooth and good for her.
Luckily, we have the Internet now and contact is seamless with the likes of Facebook, MSN, Skype etc.
And I think that we are considered very lucky in Singapore as our departure gates are pretty much "happy-looking". Not just plain old walls or metal gates with glass panels. That will be really sad.
Anyway, life goes on as usual and I can't help but think of a song at this point in time.
Dedicated to my little sister:
放心离开我
我会记得这一刻
那些还飞翔着，
不可思议的梦
雨后的天空
会有深蓝的彩虹
像最初相信着，
我们总会找到自由。。。

Little Mango
I am approaching my 20th week soon. Time really flies. It only seems like yesterday when I just learnt about my pregnancy but I am already half-way thru!
The iphone app says that the little living thing inside me now is as big as a mango, measuring 16.5 cm and weighing 0.28kg.
Hmmm, I have gained around 6kg till date...and if the baby is not even 1kg, I wonder where all the weight gain goes to! *SHUDDERS!!!*
The average ideal weight gain is around 13-16 kg which means I have another 10 more kg to gain... OMG! These days, I am starting to show..no more hiding behind flowy dresses. My tummy is getting really big and the bump is getting obvious. Besides this, I also feel myself expanding... ARGH! Hates flabby arms and thunder thighs!
Anyway, I should not be complaining. Weight Gain is necessary during pregnancy. Just concentrate on eating healthy food will do.
We have thought of a few names... I like Joshua..He have chosen Xavier... I think both are nice... Hmmmmm....
The deposit for the confinement lady has also been paid. It's a recommendation by Audrey's sister. Hope she is good.
I have also signed up for childbirth education course starting in Oct. Looking forward to it!
Think somewhere in Nov, I will take a short break and go for a Babymoon! Really need one now..before the baby comes along!
Then for the last 3 months, it will be time to think about decos for the nursury room, lots and lots of baby stuff shopping ...
Thats about it..nothing much for this post.just want to run thru some of the random things in my head. At least, I kinda get a timeline and a clearer picture of what's to-dos now.
Tata!!

@ 17 weeks..
Measuring 10+ cm and weighing 0.14kg, you are now as big as a Turnip!
Cutez!
We went for the scan on Monday and it showed a BOY! Both of us prefer a boy although we will be equally happy if it's a girl. When the screen shows that important "part" sticking out between his legs, we were really happy and thrilled!
And of course, the most important thing is that the baby is good and healthy.
Well, so I guess I can paste Raymond Lam's photos everywhere and look at them. According to folktales, a baby will turn out good-looking if the Mum looks at beautiful people. Hahhahaa!!!
Now is also the time to brain-storm for boy names...ARGH!!!! *PULL HAIR*
