oh more!
forgot to add... God answers prayers beautifully... earlier was so miserable at thought of working under princess. Had to take sick leave for three days two weeks ago, and during that time, they decided I'd be covering those areas he was not in charge of!!!!!

The change in motivation was nothing short of dramatic! However, why, you ask, am I still moaning about work? This is a spillover from before the reorg, a project we were supposed to be working on together... true to form, he lost interest half way - now he's pushing it all off on me. Which would have been fine, much earlier in the process... but its a little late now!!!!

Have been dreading all weekend this meeting I have in exactly 3 minutes... we'll see what comes up.
Hiya... been awhile...
work has been getting busier and busier... my colleague is taking long leave from next week, so May is going to be a terrible month, i think.. Would like to quit if I could, but I don't feel its right at moment, so will go with gut...

Am now 11 weeks pregnant! Still a bit unreal... don't know when it'll sink in, maybe when the stomache starts to expand....it is already,a bit, trousers getting a bit tight : P worried about too much weight gain at first... hard to lose after... but found a really nice maternity wear store in Tanglin Mall... :)

Bought this milk supplement drink for mums to be - 600 mg of Calcium in one shot! That's half my targeted in take in a nice 200 ml cup of chocolate : ) ... I'm filling up the other needs with fresh milk - 300 mg, and my vitamin sups.... forgot how much there is in there... may have to up the ante if not enough...

Have been talking about getting a maid or not... or whether we can get by with just a part-time cleaner.... which I would prefer, only... who's gonna cook? :P ! I'll really need to get good with the car, 'cause who wants to waste the weekends shopping for groceries and stuff?

Had a good laugh going over mentor access applications this pm... but it made me think how some people have the passion and guts to pursue something, even if they're not very good... I think I could write better, but I'd never have the guts to submit a thing... besides, high culture writing... heck, what do you call it? Jeanette Winterson, Ben Okri, Rushdie ... serious fiction vs chick lit or tabloid writing... it just isn't my thing... And in Singapore, we don't seem to have room for the other.. oh we do, Singapre Ghost stories and the prostitute stuff... well, not my thing either... : ) Have no idea what my thing is .

Would never submit under my real name either! Thank goodness for the net and annoymity. Its my only outlet... even then, I haven't the guts to put a thing up on fiction press. Crazy huh...

Work again - boo.

Went for my checkup this Sat - baby has a heartbeat!! I wonder if its boy or girl. Worried that I'm getting tubby, so early into the pregnancy : ( ... have to be more careful...

So much to do at work, but can't seem to work more than in spurts these days... princess is a major pain... though its really unchristian of me to harp on like this. Am mad and its awful. No wonder not v popular at work - always in a grouch about something... am terrible under stress, or when bothered.

Sigh...
