The Unsung Heroes!
I really had a good time watching The Unsung Heroes just now..It's been the best ever segment in Singapore Idol tat really glued us in front of the TV minus off the 4 gruesome judges.. Both hubbie & I watched it over at Bedok Home with my family members... We laff, we cried (the cannot tahan laughter tho') & we praised them... The Pinky Lady (Jocelyn) really tickled us.. With her pink outfit, she sang Yesterday Once More & being the joker of the nite.. She was cute tho' in her way of talking...The Careless Whisper guy with the "I thanks you" & "Mediacorpse" really burst us into laughter... It's really good to see Sadli coming back with his soothing song, Solitaire...He really touches our heart and he's the No. 1 Singapore Idol...I bet if he had not withdrew from the competition, he will be in the Top 12.... Anyway he's still as good as ever... Not forgetting Rosalina....She too has a good voice but too bad in Singapore, they not only search for a good voice but with a good package in you!

A Fatal Misunderstanding!
Got it from her & I tot I shud share with you guys as it's really a meaningful story & will bring you to tears... I know it's a long story but I hope you will spare a few mins of yur time to read it.. I believe there will be lessons to learn in tis story...
This is a true story, taken from "Family" (dictated by LD, edited by LSX, translated by SaFe)
Cruel misunderstandings one after another disrupted the blissful footsteps to our family. Our original intend of having Mother enjoy some quiet and peaceful moments in her remaining years with us went terribly wrong as destiny's secret is finally revealed at a price, everything became too late.
Just two years after our marriage, hubby brought up the idea of asking Mother to move from the rural hometown and spend her remaining years with us. Hubby's father passed away while he was still very young. Mother endured much hardship and struggled all on her own to provide for him, see him through to a university degree.You could say that she suffered a great deal and did everything you could expect of a woman to bring hubby to where he is today.
I immediately agreed and started packing the spare room, which has a balcony facing the South to let her enjoy the sunshine and plant some greeneries. Hubby stood in the bright room, and suddenly just picked me up and started spinning round and round. As I begged him to put me down, he said: "Lets go fetch mother."
Hubby is tall and big sized and I love to rest on his chest and enjoy the feeling that he could pick me up at any moment put the tiny me into his pockets. And whenever we have an argument and both refuses to back down, he would pick me up and spin me over his head continuously until I surrender and beg for mercy. I became addicted to this kind of panic-joy feeling.
Mother brought along her countryside habits and lifestyle with her. For example; I am so used to buying flowers to decorate the living room, she could not stand it and would comment: "I do not know how you young people spend your money, why do you buy flowers for? You also can't eat the flowers!" I smiled and said: "Mum, with flowers in the house, our mood will also become better."Mother continues to grumble away, and hubby smiled: "Mum, this is a city-people's habit; slowly you will get use to it."
Mother stopped saying anything. But every time thereafter, whenever I came home with flowers, she would ask me how much it costs. I told her and she would shake her head and express displeasure. Sometimes, when I come home with lots of shopping bags, she would ask each and every item how much they cost, and I would tell her honestly and she would get even more upset about it. Hubby playfully pinched my nose and said: "You little fool, just don't tell her the full price of everything would solve it." There begins the friction to our otherwise happy lifestyle.
Mother hates it most when hubby wakes up early to prepare the breakfast. In your view, how could the man of the house cook for the wife? At the breakfast table, mother facial __expression is always like the darkclouds before a thunderstorm and I would pretend not to notice. She would use her chopsticks and make a lot ofnoise with it as her silent protest. As I am a dance teacher in the Children's Palace and is exhausted from a long day of dancing around, I do not wish to give up the luxury of that additional few minutes in the comfort of my bed and hence I turned a deaf ear to all the protest mother makes.
From time to time, mother would help out with some housework, but soon her help created additional work for me. For example: she would keep all kinds of plastic bags accumulating them so that she sell them later on,and that resulted in our house being filled with all the trash bags; she would scrimp on dish washing detergent when helping to wash the dishes and so as not to hurt her feelings, I would quietly wash they again.
One day, late at night, mother saw me quietly washing the dishes, and "Bam" she slams her bedroom door and cried very loudly in her room. Hubby was placed in a difficult position, and after that, he did not speak tome for that entire night. I pretended to be a spoilt child, tried acting cute,but he totally ignored me. I got mad and asked him: What did I do wrong?"Hubby stared at me and said: "Can't you just give in to her once? We couldn't possibly die eating from a bowl however unclean it is, right?"
After that incident, for a long period of time, mother did not speak to me and you can feel that there is a very awkward feeling hanging in the house. During that period of cold war, hubby was caught in dilemma as to who to please. In order to stop her son from having to prepare breakfast, mother took on the "all important" task of preparing breakfast without any prompting. At the breakfast table, mother would look at hubby happily eating his breakfast and cast that reprimanding stare at me for having failed to perform my duty as a wife. To avoid the embarrassing breakfast situation, I resorted to buying my own breakfast on my way to work.
That night, while in bed, hubby was a little upset and asked me: "LD, is it because you think that mum's cooking is not clean that's why you chose not to eat at home?" He then turned his back on me and left me alonein tears as feeling of unfairness overwhelmed me. After some time, hubby sighed: "LD, just for me, can you have breakfast at home?" I am left with no choice but to return to the breakfast table.
The next morning, I was having porridge prepared by mother and I felt a sudden churn in my stomach and everything inside seem to be rushing up my throat. I tried to suppress the urge to throw up but I couldn't. I threw down the bowl and rushed into the washroom and vomited everything out. And just as I was catching my breath, I saw mother crying and grumbling very loudly in her dialect, hubby was standing at the washroom doorway staring at me with fire burning in his eyes. I opened my mouth but no words came out of it, I really didn't mean it.
We had our very first big fight that day; mother took a look at us, then stood up and slowly made her way out ofthe house. Hubby gave me a final stare in the eye and followed mother down the stairs. For three days, hubby did not return home, not even a phone call. I was so furious, since mother arrived; I had been trying my best and putting up with her, what else do you want me to do? For no reason, I keep having the feeling to throw up and I simply have not appetite for food, coupled with all the events happening at home, I was at the low point in my life. Finally, a colleague said: "LD, you look terrible, you should go and see a doctor."
The doctor confirmed that I am pregnant. Now it became clear to me why I threw up that fateful morning, a sense of sadness floated through that otherwise happy news. Why didn't hubby, and mother who had been through this before, thought of the possibility of this being the reason that day? At the hospital entrance, I saw my hubby standing there.It had only been three days, but he looked haggard. I had wanted to turn and leave, but one look at him and my heart soften, I couldn't resist and called out to him. He followed my voice and finally found me but he pretended that he doesn't know me; he has that disgusted look in his eyes that cut right through my heart. I told myself not to look at him anymore, and hail a cab.
At that moment, I have such a strong urge inside me to shout to my hubby: "Darling, I am having your baby!",and to have him lift me up and spin me round in circles of joy. What I wanted didn't happen and as I sat in the cab, my tears started rolling down. Why? Why our love couldn't even withstand the test of one fight? Back home, I lay on the bed thinking about my hubby, and the disgusted look in his eyes. I cried and wet the corner of the blanket.
That night, sound of the drawers opening woke me up. I switched on the lights and I saw hubby with tears rolling down his face. He was removing the money. I stared at him in silence; he ignored me, took the bank deposit book and some money and left the house. Maybe he really intends to leave me for good. What a rational man, so clear-cut in love and money matters. I gave a few dried laugh and tears starting streaming down again.
The next day, I did not go to work. I wanted to clear this out and have a good talk with hubby. I reached his office and his secretary gave me a weird look and said: "Mr. Tan's mother had a traffic accident and is now inthe hospital." I stood there in shock. I rushed to the hospital and by the time I found hubby,mother had already passed away. Hubby did not look at me, his face was expressionless.I looked at mother's pale white and thin face and I couldn't control the tears in my eyes. My god, how could this happen? Throughout the funeral, hubby did say a single word to me, with only the occasional disgusted stare at me. I only managed to find out brief facts about the accident from other people.
That day, after mother left the house, she walked in dazed toward the bus stop, apparently intending to go back to her old house back in the countryside. As hubby an after her, she tried to walk faster and as she tried to cross the street, a public bus came and hit her... I finally understood how much hubby must hate me, if Ihad not thrown up that morning, if we had not quarreled, if... In his heart, I am indirectly the killer of his mother.
Hubby moved into mother's room and came home every night with a strong liquor smell on him. And me, I am buried under the guilt and self pity and could hardly breathe. I wanted to explain to him, tell him that we are going to have our baby soon, but each time, I saw the dead look in his eyes, all the words I have at the brink ofmy mouth just fell back in. I had rather he hit me real hard or give me a big and thorough scolding though noneof these events happening had been my fault at all. Many days of suffocating silence went by and as the dayswent by, hubby came home later and later. The deadlock between us continues, we were living together like strangers who don't know each other. I am like the dead knot in his heart.
One day, I passed by a western restaurant, looking into the glass window, I saw hubby and a girl I didn't know sitting facing each other and he very lightly brushed her hair for her, I understood what it meant.After recovering from that moment of shock, I entered the restaurant, stood in front of my hubby and stared hard at him, not a tear in my eyes. I have nothing to say to him, and there is no need to say anything. The girl looked at me, looks at hubby, stands up and wanted to go, hubby stretched out his hand and stopped her. Hestared back at me, challenging me. I can only hear my slow heart beat, beating, one by one as if at the brink of death. I eventually backed down, if I had stood that any longer, I will collapse together with the baby inside me.
That night, he did not come home, he had chosen to use that as a way to indicate to me. Following mother's death so did our love for each other. He did not come home anymore after that. Sometimes, when I returned home from work, I can tell that the cupboard had been touched - he had returned to take some of his stuff.I no longer wish to call him; the initial desire to explain everything to him had vanished. I lived alone; I go for my medical checkups alone, my heart breaks again and again every time I see a guy carefully helping his wife through the physical examination. My office colleagues hinted to me to consider aborting the baby, I told them No, I will not. I insisted on having to this baby, perhaps it is my way of repaying mother for causing her death.
One day, I came home and I saw hubby sitting in the living room. The whole house was filled with cigarette smoke. On the coffee table, there was this piece of paper. I know what it is all about without even looking at it.In the two months plus of living alone, I have gradually learned to find peace within myself. I looked at him,removed my hat and said: "You wait for a while, I will sign." He looked at me, mixed feelings in his eyes, just like mine. As I hang up my coat, I keep repeating to myself "You cannot cry, you cannot cry..." my eyes hurt terribly, but I refused to let tears come out from there.
After I hung up my coat, hubby's eyes stared fixed at my bulging tummy. I smiled, walked over to the coffee table and pull the paper towards me. Without even looking at what it says, I signed my name on it and pushed the paper to him. "LD, you are pregnant?" Since mother's accident, this is the first time he spoke to me. I could not control my tears any further and they fell like raindrops. I said: "Yes, but its ok, you can leave now."
He did not go, in the dark, we sat, facing each other. Hubby slowly moved over me, his tears wet the blanket. In my heart, everything seems so far away, so far that even if I sprint, I could never reach them. I cannot remember how many times he repeated "sorry" to me. I had really originally thought that I would forgive him, but now I can't. In the western restaurant, in front of that girl, that cold look in his eyes, I will never forget, ever. We have drawn such deep scares in each other's heart. For me, its unintentional; for him, totally intentional.
I had been waiting for this moment of reconciliation, but I realized now, what had gone past is gone forever and could not repeated. Other than the thought of the baby inside me that would bring some warmth to my heart, I am totally cold towards him, I no longer eat anything he buys for me, I don't take any presents from him and I stopped talking to him.
From the moment I signed on that piece of paper, marriage and love had vanished from my heart. Sometimes, hubby will try to come into the bedroom, but when he walks in, I will walk out to the living room. He had no choice but to sleep in mother's room.
At night, from his room, I can hear light sounds of groaning, I kept quiet. This used to be his trick; last time, whenever I ignore him, he would fake illness and I will surrender and find out what is wrong with him, he would then grab me and laugh. He has forgotten that last time; I cared for him and am concerned because there is love, but now, what is there between us? Hubby's groaning came on and off continuing all the way till baby was born. Almost everyday, he would buy something for the baby, infant products, children products and books that kids like to read. Bags and gags of it stacked inside his room till it is full. I know he is trying to use this to reach out to me, but I am no longer moved by his actions.
He has no choice but to lock himself in his room and I can hear his typing away on his computer keyboard, maybe he is now addicted to web surfing, but none of that matters to me anymore.
It was sometime towards the end of spring in the following year, one late night, I screamed because of a sudden stomach pain, hubby came rushing into the room, it is like he did not change and sleep, and had been waiting for this moment. He carried me and ran down the stairs, stopped a car, holding my hand very tightly and kept wiping the sweat off my brown, throughout the journey to the hospital. Once we reached the hospital, he carried me and hurried into the delivery suite. Lying on the back of his skinny but warmth body, a thought crossed my mind: In my lifetime, who else would love me as much as he did? He held the delivery suite door opened and watch me go in, his warm eyes caused me to managed a smile at him despite my contraction pain.
Coming out of the delivery room, hubby looked at our son, and me, his eyes tear with joy and he kept smiling. I reached out and touched his hand. Hubby looked at me, smiling and then he slowly collapsed onto the floor. I cried out for him in pain... He smiled, but without opening that tired eyes of his. I had thought that I would never shed any tear for him, but the truth is, I have never felt a deeper pain cutting through my body at that moment. Doctor said that by the time hubby discovered he had liver cancer, it was already in terminal stage and it was a miracle that he managed to last this long. I asked the doctor when did he first discover he had cancer? Doctor said about 5 months ago and consoled me saying: "Prepare for his funeral."
I disregarded the nurse's objection and rushed home, I went into his room and checked his computer, and a suffocating pain hits me. Hubby's cancer was discovered 5 months ago, his groaning was real, and I had thought that... the computer showed over 200 thousand words he wrote for our son:
"Son, just for you, I have persisted, to be able to take a look at you before I fall, is my biggest wish now.... I know that in your life, you will have many happiness and maybe some setbacks, if only I can accompany you throughout that journey, how nice would it be. But daddy now no long has that chance. Daddy has written inside here all the possible difficulties and problems you may encounter during your lifetime, when you meet with these problems, you can refer to daddy's suggestion...
Son, after writing these 200 thousand words, I feel as if I have accompanied you throughout your life journey. And to be honest, daddy is very happy. Do love your mother, she has suffered, she is the one who loves you most and also the one who loves me most..."
From play school to primary school, to secondary, university, to work and even in dealing with questions of love, everything big and small was written there.
Hubby has also written a letter for me:
"My dear, to marry you is my biggest happiness, forgive me for the pain I have caused you, forgive me for not telling you my illness, because I want to see you be in a joyful mood waiting for the arrival of our baby... My dear, if you cried, it means that you have forgiven me and I would smile, thank you for loving me... These presents, I'm afraid I cannot give them to our son personally, could you help me to give some of them to him every year, the dates on what to give when are all written on the packaging..."
Going back to the hospital, hubby is still in coma. I brought our son over and place him beside him. I said: "Open your eyes and smile, I want our son to remember being in the warmth of your arms..." He struggled to open his eyes and managed a weak smile. Our son still in his arms was happily waving his tiny hands in the air. I press the button on the camera and sound of the shutter rang thought the air as tears slowly rolled down my face...
A fatal misunderstanding and the person who love me the most in this world is gone forever.
This is a true story, taken from "Family" (dictated by LD, edited by LSX, translated by SaFe)
Cruel misunderstandings one after another disrupted the blissful footsteps to our family. Our original intend of having Mother enjoy some quiet and peaceful moments in her remaining years with us went terribly wrong as destiny's secret is finally revealed at a price, everything became too late.
Just two years after our marriage, hubby brought up the idea of asking Mother to move from the rural hometown and spend her remaining years with us. Hubby's father passed away while he was still very young. Mother endured much hardship and struggled all on her own to provide for him, see him through to a university degree.You could say that she suffered a great deal and did everything you could expect of a woman to bring hubby to where he is today.
I immediately agreed and started packing the spare room, which has a balcony facing the South to let her enjoy the sunshine and plant some greeneries. Hubby stood in the bright room, and suddenly just picked me up and started spinning round and round. As I begged him to put me down, he said: "Lets go fetch mother."
Hubby is tall and big sized and I love to rest on his chest and enjoy the feeling that he could pick me up at any moment put the tiny me into his pockets. And whenever we have an argument and both refuses to back down, he would pick me up and spin me over his head continuously until I surrender and beg for mercy. I became addicted to this kind of panic-joy feeling.
Mother brought along her countryside habits and lifestyle with her. For example; I am so used to buying flowers to decorate the living room, she could not stand it and would comment: "I do not know how you young people spend your money, why do you buy flowers for? You also can't eat the flowers!" I smiled and said: "Mum, with flowers in the house, our mood will also become better."Mother continues to grumble away, and hubby smiled: "Mum, this is a city-people's habit; slowly you will get use to it."
Mother stopped saying anything. But every time thereafter, whenever I came home with flowers, she would ask me how much it costs. I told her and she would shake her head and express displeasure. Sometimes, when I come home with lots of shopping bags, she would ask each and every item how much they cost, and I would tell her honestly and she would get even more upset about it. Hubby playfully pinched my nose and said: "You little fool, just don't tell her the full price of everything would solve it." There begins the friction to our otherwise happy lifestyle.
Mother hates it most when hubby wakes up early to prepare the breakfast. In your view, how could the man of the house cook for the wife? At the breakfast table, mother facial __expression is always like the darkclouds before a thunderstorm and I would pretend not to notice. She would use her chopsticks and make a lot ofnoise with it as her silent protest. As I am a dance teacher in the Children's Palace and is exhausted from a long day of dancing around, I do not wish to give up the luxury of that additional few minutes in the comfort of my bed and hence I turned a deaf ear to all the protest mother makes.
From time to time, mother would help out with some housework, but soon her help created additional work for me. For example: she would keep all kinds of plastic bags accumulating them so that she sell them later on,and that resulted in our house being filled with all the trash bags; she would scrimp on dish washing detergent when helping to wash the dishes and so as not to hurt her feelings, I would quietly wash they again.
One day, late at night, mother saw me quietly washing the dishes, and "Bam" she slams her bedroom door and cried very loudly in her room. Hubby was placed in a difficult position, and after that, he did not speak tome for that entire night. I pretended to be a spoilt child, tried acting cute,but he totally ignored me. I got mad and asked him: What did I do wrong?"Hubby stared at me and said: "Can't you just give in to her once? We couldn't possibly die eating from a bowl however unclean it is, right?"
After that incident, for a long period of time, mother did not speak to me and you can feel that there is a very awkward feeling hanging in the house. During that period of cold war, hubby was caught in dilemma as to who to please. In order to stop her son from having to prepare breakfast, mother took on the "all important" task of preparing breakfast without any prompting. At the breakfast table, mother would look at hubby happily eating his breakfast and cast that reprimanding stare at me for having failed to perform my duty as a wife. To avoid the embarrassing breakfast situation, I resorted to buying my own breakfast on my way to work.
That night, while in bed, hubby was a little upset and asked me: "LD, is it because you think that mum's cooking is not clean that's why you chose not to eat at home?" He then turned his back on me and left me alonein tears as feeling of unfairness overwhelmed me. After some time, hubby sighed: "LD, just for me, can you have breakfast at home?" I am left with no choice but to return to the breakfast table.
The next morning, I was having porridge prepared by mother and I felt a sudden churn in my stomach and everything inside seem to be rushing up my throat. I tried to suppress the urge to throw up but I couldn't. I threw down the bowl and rushed into the washroom and vomited everything out. And just as I was catching my breath, I saw mother crying and grumbling very loudly in her dialect, hubby was standing at the washroom doorway staring at me with fire burning in his eyes. I opened my mouth but no words came out of it, I really didn't mean it.
We had our very first big fight that day; mother took a look at us, then stood up and slowly made her way out ofthe house. Hubby gave me a final stare in the eye and followed mother down the stairs. For three days, hubby did not return home, not even a phone call. I was so furious, since mother arrived; I had been trying my best and putting up with her, what else do you want me to do? For no reason, I keep having the feeling to throw up and I simply have not appetite for food, coupled with all the events happening at home, I was at the low point in my life. Finally, a colleague said: "LD, you look terrible, you should go and see a doctor."
The doctor confirmed that I am pregnant. Now it became clear to me why I threw up that fateful morning, a sense of sadness floated through that otherwise happy news. Why didn't hubby, and mother who had been through this before, thought of the possibility of this being the reason that day? At the hospital entrance, I saw my hubby standing there.It had only been three days, but he looked haggard. I had wanted to turn and leave, but one look at him and my heart soften, I couldn't resist and called out to him. He followed my voice and finally found me but he pretended that he doesn't know me; he has that disgusted look in his eyes that cut right through my heart. I told myself not to look at him anymore, and hail a cab.
At that moment, I have such a strong urge inside me to shout to my hubby: "Darling, I am having your baby!",and to have him lift me up and spin me round in circles of joy. What I wanted didn't happen and as I sat in the cab, my tears started rolling down. Why? Why our love couldn't even withstand the test of one fight? Back home, I lay on the bed thinking about my hubby, and the disgusted look in his eyes. I cried and wet the corner of the blanket.
That night, sound of the drawers opening woke me up. I switched on the lights and I saw hubby with tears rolling down his face. He was removing the money. I stared at him in silence; he ignored me, took the bank deposit book and some money and left the house. Maybe he really intends to leave me for good. What a rational man, so clear-cut in love and money matters. I gave a few dried laugh and tears starting streaming down again.
The next day, I did not go to work. I wanted to clear this out and have a good talk with hubby. I reached his office and his secretary gave me a weird look and said: "Mr. Tan's mother had a traffic accident and is now inthe hospital." I stood there in shock. I rushed to the hospital and by the time I found hubby,mother had already passed away. Hubby did not look at me, his face was expressionless.I looked at mother's pale white and thin face and I couldn't control the tears in my eyes. My god, how could this happen? Throughout the funeral, hubby did say a single word to me, with only the occasional disgusted stare at me. I only managed to find out brief facts about the accident from other people.
That day, after mother left the house, she walked in dazed toward the bus stop, apparently intending to go back to her old house back in the countryside. As hubby an after her, she tried to walk faster and as she tried to cross the street, a public bus came and hit her... I finally understood how much hubby must hate me, if Ihad not thrown up that morning, if we had not quarreled, if... In his heart, I am indirectly the killer of his mother.
Hubby moved into mother's room and came home every night with a strong liquor smell on him. And me, I am buried under the guilt and self pity and could hardly breathe. I wanted to explain to him, tell him that we are going to have our baby soon, but each time, I saw the dead look in his eyes, all the words I have at the brink ofmy mouth just fell back in. I had rather he hit me real hard or give me a big and thorough scolding though noneof these events happening had been my fault at all. Many days of suffocating silence went by and as the dayswent by, hubby came home later and later. The deadlock between us continues, we were living together like strangers who don't know each other. I am like the dead knot in his heart.
One day, I passed by a western restaurant, looking into the glass window, I saw hubby and a girl I didn't know sitting facing each other and he very lightly brushed her hair for her, I understood what it meant.After recovering from that moment of shock, I entered the restaurant, stood in front of my hubby and stared hard at him, not a tear in my eyes. I have nothing to say to him, and there is no need to say anything. The girl looked at me, looks at hubby, stands up and wanted to go, hubby stretched out his hand and stopped her. Hestared back at me, challenging me. I can only hear my slow heart beat, beating, one by one as if at the brink of death. I eventually backed down, if I had stood that any longer, I will collapse together with the baby inside me.
That night, he did not come home, he had chosen to use that as a way to indicate to me. Following mother's death so did our love for each other. He did not come home anymore after that. Sometimes, when I returned home from work, I can tell that the cupboard had been touched - he had returned to take some of his stuff.I no longer wish to call him; the initial desire to explain everything to him had vanished. I lived alone; I go for my medical checkups alone, my heart breaks again and again every time I see a guy carefully helping his wife through the physical examination. My office colleagues hinted to me to consider aborting the baby, I told them No, I will not. I insisted on having to this baby, perhaps it is my way of repaying mother for causing her death.
One day, I came home and I saw hubby sitting in the living room. The whole house was filled with cigarette smoke. On the coffee table, there was this piece of paper. I know what it is all about without even looking at it.In the two months plus of living alone, I have gradually learned to find peace within myself. I looked at him,removed my hat and said: "You wait for a while, I will sign." He looked at me, mixed feelings in his eyes, just like mine. As I hang up my coat, I keep repeating to myself "You cannot cry, you cannot cry..." my eyes hurt terribly, but I refused to let tears come out from there.
After I hung up my coat, hubby's eyes stared fixed at my bulging tummy. I smiled, walked over to the coffee table and pull the paper towards me. Without even looking at what it says, I signed my name on it and pushed the paper to him. "LD, you are pregnant?" Since mother's accident, this is the first time he spoke to me. I could not control my tears any further and they fell like raindrops. I said: "Yes, but its ok, you can leave now."
He did not go, in the dark, we sat, facing each other. Hubby slowly moved over me, his tears wet the blanket. In my heart, everything seems so far away, so far that even if I sprint, I could never reach them. I cannot remember how many times he repeated "sorry" to me. I had really originally thought that I would forgive him, but now I can't. In the western restaurant, in front of that girl, that cold look in his eyes, I will never forget, ever. We have drawn such deep scares in each other's heart. For me, its unintentional; for him, totally intentional.
I had been waiting for this moment of reconciliation, but I realized now, what had gone past is gone forever and could not repeated. Other than the thought of the baby inside me that would bring some warmth to my heart, I am totally cold towards him, I no longer eat anything he buys for me, I don't take any presents from him and I stopped talking to him.
From the moment I signed on that piece of paper, marriage and love had vanished from my heart. Sometimes, hubby will try to come into the bedroom, but when he walks in, I will walk out to the living room. He had no choice but to sleep in mother's room.

Almost everyday, he would buy something for the baby, infant products, children products and books that kids like to read. Bags and gags of it stacked inside his room till it is full. I know he is trying to use this to reach out to me, but I am no longer moved by his actions.
He has no choice but to lock himself in his room and I can hear his typing away on his computer keyboard, maybe he is now addicted to web surfing, but none of that matters to me anymore.
It was sometime towards the end of spring in the following year, one late night, I screamed because of a sudden stomach pain, hubby came rushing into the room, it is like he did not change and sleep, and had been waiting for this moment. He carried me and ran down the stairs, stopped a car, holding my hand very tightly and kept wiping the sweat off my brown, throughout the journey to the hospital. Once we reached the hospital, he carried me and hurried into the delivery suite. Lying on the back of his skinny but warmth body, a thought crossed my mind: In my lifetime, who else would love me as much as he did?

Suddenly the tot of mutton chop really makes me drool..hahaha... Another craving in the list... Told hubbie abt it and he said tat he will tapau back for me once he finished werk.. He will buy dinner at Haig Rd... Phew! Today my kitchen no berasap one! hehe...
Hubbie came home with my mutton chop, fried chicken rice for him and 2 pieces of popiah.. I was real hungry when I look at my mutton chop.>What's more I saw an egg there...Wow! Cam dah berzaman gue tak makan telor...hehehehe... I finished up the egg within seconds...hehe
After dinner, I continued watching the 7pm Chinese Drama... Took my bath & did my prayers... Now I just finished ironing hubbie's clothes and folding the dried clothes.... I'm gasping for air now.. feeling tired oredy...
Well better stop here...now my stomach feel so tight..aiseyman... Bye guys!

But it was a good bargain.. Free modem, wireless router & Wireless USB Adapter... Per month is $67.80 (usual is $78.60).. But she has to collect her router next Friday at Funan.. So hubbie can only install for her next Friday.. So Klopez, wait hOr... Now no more teet toot teet toot...heheheheheheh....
After tat all of us went California Dip for our dinner... It's halal now... I ordered Midjoint Spaghetti & hubbie ate Beef Sauce Hotdog... whereas Klopez as Fillet Spaghetti, her sis ate Midjoint Spaghetti too and her mum ate mini pizza... The cashier really made a blunder in the charges and we had to re-count our orders several times... Aiyohh..so leceh one...
After dinner we went jalan2 for awhile..hubbie tot of going to Hello Shop at Century Square but when we reached there, it was already closed... We then make a move while Klopez & family went to NTUC to look for egg..hehe...
Reached home at 9.45pm...Took my bath and now I'm going to watch TV... Have an enjoyable weekend.... Tata!!

Samosa Time!
Luckily today when I woke up, my fever has subside & my headache had gone away... Yesterday nite I was having fever..Whole body seemed hot & body aching all over...Plus the terrible headache..Gosh!! Luckily my dear hubbie helped me by massaging my head & neck....
Today I just cook fried kway teow & fried chicken... Then in the evening, I prepared my samosa ingredients...My first time trying to make my mum's samosa...This samosa's recipe was passed down my my paternal grandma to my mum.. It's our family all time feveret kuih whenever there's a family gathering... So I intend to do and keep it in the freezer so as and when we want to eat it, we just fry it... Hubbie also lurve this samosa... :)
Hubbie came home around 6.50pm while I'm still in a midst of preparing the ingredients... Served hubbie's dinner then I continued frying it and at the same time watching the 7pm Chinese Drama...After finished frying the ingredients, I set all the stuff tat needed to make the samosa at our coffee table as I wanted to continue watching the Chinese Drama.. Hubbie tried to assist me but at last he gave up cos he just cudn't get it right when folding the triangular samosa.. hehe....Cian dia.... Well, I took nearly 2 hrs folding the samosa...
I've already fried 10 pieces of samosa...each of us took 5 pieces...Verdict = Taste like mummy's samosa..I passed!!!
Now my backache is here liao..I guess I stand too long just now when I'm in the kitchen... Gotta get hubbie to massage my back...Kay lah gotta go! Papai!!!

Kaya! Kaya! Kaya!! hahahaha... Tot of having bfast at the ferry terminal itself but dad told us tat we better proceed to Martha Tilaar to have our haircut session there first so as not to waste time... Went to Penuin Top 100 by cab... Both me & mum had our haircut, sis had her hair trimmed & hubbie had creambath for his hair... Renewed our membership there...But dunno when I will come back for their SPA again... Perhaps wait till my delivery over...hehe..

After tat we went for our shopping trip at the Top 100 Supermarket... Guess what!! I finally get my Qoo Peach!!! But tis one is in a bottle.. But who cares!! As long as I get to drink it... Hubbie is the one who spotted it.. Thanks dear!! hehe... Bought 2 bottles (asal dapat hapuskan kempunan gue dah cukup..hehe)..
Then we took cab to Robinson where I bought 3 pairs of maternity blouse, 2 pairs of maternity pants & 1 maternity overall... I was soooo tempted to buy more cos the design there was sooo niceee... & what's more it's Cheap!!! Real cheap!! Mission accomplished!! hehe..

Anyway I woke up at around 6.30am..Mum called me at 6.15am where I just get to close my eyes for nearly 3 hrs... Morning call from her..aiyohh....I had set my alarm clock anyway.. Sleep for a few minutes den woke up again... Luckily I had ironed both our clothes yesterday nite.. Took my warm bath den woke hubbie up... At tat point I was still sleepy lah... We went out at 7.35am..Took our bike and zoomed to WTC...Parked our bike at the hawer ctr opposite WTC and proceed to meet my parents, sis, aunty & uncle at Delifrance in WTC..Too bad kissy cudn't join us as she's having a bad flu.. Dad told me tat next time when we go Batam, we will bring kissy along.. hehe...After collecting all our passports, dad went to buy the 9.10am ferry ticket...Me & my sis went to grab some hashbrowns and muffin at McD...

Reached Batam at around 10.30pm...It was packed with S'poreans...Wah lau!! Den the Batam immigration only open 3 counters....Damn sloww! Changed our money to RUPIAH!! Berjuta-juta ribu rupiah... Kaya! Kaya! Kaya!! hahahaha... Tot of having bfast at the ferry terminal itself but dad told us tat we better proceed to Martha Tilaar to have our haircut session there first so as not to waste time... Went to Penuin Top 100 by cab... Both me & mum had our haircut, sis had her hair trimmed & hubbie had creambath for his hair... Renewed our membership there...But dunno when I will come back for their SPA again... Perhaps wait till my delivery over...hehe..

My mouth just cudn't stop mumbling upon watching DIA... Especially the scenes from tat vicious Fifi...GRRRRR!!!! Make my darah go upstairs one.. *mumble* Anyway had been watching Spore Idol & toggling between DIA & the 9pm Chinese Drama..Reached home from my parent's place around 9pm...Without any washing up first, I switched on my TV and was glued to the TV till 11pm... hehe...
Over at my parents' place, ate lotsa stuff... Mum cooked Ladok (indian savoury), udang geragau, papedum & indian ulam called kecumba.. Dad came home with durians...It's been such a long time since I had durians....*got one packet in my fridge now*...Earlier, me & hubbie went Bedok Reservoir Shing Shiong to find eggs as MIL told us tat her fren had bought 4 pkts there in the afternoon..So we search high & low for it till the staff there told us there was none...aiseyman.. But neverthless, our effort of going over to Shing Shiong did not come to a waste...We bought back 6 pieces of Onan Road Karipap... Actually I was just telling my hubbie yesterday nite tat I wanted to eat Onan Rd Karipap...den today...Tadahhh....got it liao..There's tis pakcik selling it in front of Shing Shiong... We met Klopez & Nahar there too..They just finished their shopping of prawns & cockles...ehehe..
My partner in crime, kissy, is down with Mr Flu...Nowadays, I heard quite a number of bloggers kena infected by this Mr Flu..soo teruk one...Hope she will get well soon so do the rest of the bloggers who are down with Mr Flu... Drink lotsa water okie...
Okay better turn in now...But I hope I can get to sleep today as for 2 days straight I've been blinking my eyes till late morning as I cudn't sleep at all...I was soo sleepy and tired but sadly my eyes just cudn't shut off... Feel so frustrated...Said some prayers and force myself to sleep... So i just hope tonite will be a better nite for me..
Have an enjoyable Friday tomoro & look forward to yur weekend guys!! Tata!!

Very the slow day!!
Today it seems tat the day past very slow... iskk...I feel soo bored at home lahh.. Dunno what to do...I finished reading all my books & wondering what can I do next....Besides chatting, bloghopping and surfing for pregnancy articles, I dunno what else I can do...How I wish I can werk now... Is there any home based job tat I can werk with...Aiyoohhh...sian lahhh...
Today I dunt have to cook cos MIL gave Asam Pedas Ikan Tenggiri & Ayam Masak Kicap...
Hubbie is on course at STA today so I cudn't catch him online at the msn..
Watched the 5.30pm Chinese Drama..Hubbie came home around 5.50pm.. Had an early dinner..
Then I was glued in front of the TV watching the 7pm Chinese Drama while folding clothes...At last tomoro is Thursday...meaning I will be going over to my parent's place...Can get to go Bedok Library to return & borrow some books...So I guess from today till Sat, my dapur tak berasap nampaknya..hehe..Fri as usual will be hanging out in town day...Sat will be going to Batam with my family....yeah!!
Ok ok..stop here for now...Need to watch the 9pm Chinese Drama...gosh..I guess now I'm back to my old-self where I was addicted to Chinese Drama serials... hehe... At least there's some drama to look forward rather than the boring Suria... ;)
