uh-oh.
i've been experiencing intermittent dull straining on the lower right abdomen for the past 3 days. somehow, i just knew that something is wrong. decided to go for my pap smear and ultrasound with Dr Mary Yang tonight (erm....i should have seen her 3 mths ago). anyway, sure enough, i've got a cyst. a freaking 2.7cm cyst inhabiting inside me. no wonder i had a rare 2-week delay for my last cycle.
Dr was reassuring though, she suspected that it could be a functional cyst from the shape of that damn thing. so i was prescribed with a box of contraceptives to try and shrink that bugger and return for a re-scan when my menses comes again. if it doesn't reduce in size, then i'm in big trouble! i just hope that this cyst stays functional....or else, i'll have to go for a laparoscopy. i wish i didn't read up on the procedure of having a laparoscopy, cos it's looks and sounds really intimidating. well well, have to pray really hard that this is nothing serious and also for more inner strength to endure the wait.
workwise, dh has gone for the 2nd interview of a much coveted position in a Norwegian firm last thursday. he's been told to wait for their reply "shortly".....and it's been 5 days. sigh.....don't know if he's getting the offer or not. we prayed really hard these few weeks for a new job for dh and hopefully, God will answer our prayers soon. in any case, dh has, more or less, spoke to his previous boss about rejoining the K Group and for sure, he will leave this present sucky job within the next 2 mths. this present job is really too ridiculous to stay on, with dh having to attend meetings all day long discussing nothing important and he's still expected to clear his mountain loads of paperwork at the end of the day. and on alternate days, he got "bombings" from his direct boss, calling him incompetent and lacking of coordination skills....wah biangz! how to work and coordinate when everyone is stuck in the meeting room all day, discussing trivial issues not crucial to the project? sigh....i've been in shipyard business before and i know how stressful and overloaded one can be handling a US$150million project. i really feel for him lah but what else can i do, except to offer him my moral support? now, dh is not supposed to take leave at all and have to go to work every Sat, even though it's his off day. well, not for long anyway.......hopefully year 2005 is a better one.
as for me, i'm still job-hunting. although there has been numerous Marcom jobs available, either they're located in the extreme East (tampines) or they're looking for junior executives. while i dun mind working in a junior position, the companies aren't that sure about me. dun blame them though, i really might move on to a better position if one comes up. well, just have to keep looking....
Missy E is behaving like a parrot these days. she will repeat after anyone who have a conversation with her. it's pretty infuriating at times but most times, it's really amusing and cute. she has also taken to mothering her bear exactly like how i mother her. really cracks me up when she attempts to feed the bear water, pat him to sleep, wear pants for him, talk to the bear like i talk to her, etc etc. damn ho chio man! her weight is 11.6kg and now stands at 84cm tall. lost some weight during her 2-week flu/cough marathon but she's piling on the kilos again this week. started her with a bottle of goat milk everyday and she seems to like it....keep asking for goat milk. didn't managed to find Karihome brand in JB last week and decided to try an Aussie brand Aspen. their chocolate milk candies are pretty yummy though. erm....her school starts in 3 weeks and she's still sleeping in late every morning. i've been nagged to start training her to wake up early for her class but the problem isn't really with her....it's the mummy who has to buck up first!! hehehe.....okok, will try to sleep earlier and wake up earlier. really!
