::Yet..another fruitful day!!::
being on leave CAN be sooo addictive...i reckon that since i've about 12.5 days of leave left..and will oni be back in office next Jan 09 (after my maternity)..i might as well clear 0.5 or 1 day each week..simply to rest & relax (and of cos..a shorter week @ work..opppsss)
well..main reason for takin 1/2 day today is cos Dar is having his IPPT..hoping to give him some moral support..(better pass..or else he has to go back for Remedial Training (RT) 3X a week!!!)
soo..while waiting for him to complete his test at Bedok Camp, i headed to Eastwood Centre to enjoy my afternoon tea at Renaldo's Apple Strudel & Pastries.
~me & my afternoon tea c",)~
(there is no better way..to enjoy a hot choc..lusciously layered Apple Strudel..yummilicious eclair..and reading a book on a thurs afternoon..wahhh....in the end..i found myself 'eavesdropping' on 2 tai-tais' conversation..complaining abt their hubbies infidelity..though i was holding my book..i found myself stuck on the same page..while my ears 'stretchin' out to listen...opppppssss.....)


finally...after 2 hours...Dar called..and ....
Yesh!!
he passed (with Silver) sooo ecstatic !!!
*hip hip hooray*
proceed to Ikea to celebrate Dar's little 'victory'..

my all-time fav - Swedish Meatballs !
(can see that fatigue is starting to show on my face!!)

& since we are there..might as well finish up some of our "to-do" list...
bot a sofa bed (for the confinement lady) + storage crates for our little precious stuff !!
(delivery will be next sat...and we can start preparing his little nursery!!)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I guess we are about 90% done with all the bb prep-

the remaining 10% being :

* 0.5% -- misc stuff
(e.g. bb wipes, nappy rash cream etc )

* 0.5% -- hospital bag
(gg to start soon..jus bot my button-down PJs from the MOTHERCARE sale!!)

* 1 % -- Laundry for bb's stuff
(target to complete b4 the lunar 7th month..which is before 1st Aug !!!)
* 8 % -- my State of Mind !!!
(i'm 'entering' my 3rd trimester in a few days time...soo excited yet soo nervous... !!!)

Jus as much as my bb prep is 'on schedule' ..and everything is under control..but when the labor pain comes..when the bb cries...can i still be in control ?? have to learn to relax............
