it does seems like i only update my lj with bad news....had abdominal pains since last friday and suspecting that the cyst may be back, i did an ultrascan yesterday. was told the cyst is 4cm in diameter this time round. unfortuately, i overheard my gynae muttering "ovarian cyst ah?" to herself and felt a keen sense of dread there and then. as usual, Dr Mary Yang asked me not to panic first and to return for a re-scan when my period starts again. she also asked if we have decided to go for no.2 or not....reason being, if we stop at 1, then she will advise me to go the the pill to keep these functional cysts away. although i really liked the idea of having no more cysts, i'm still reluntant to go on the pill. it's going to mean 20 more years of pill popping before i hit menopause...that's a long time man...besides, how about those side effects of popping the pills.... aiyah, will cross the bridge when i come to it i guess. anyway, no point fretting over things i can't control rite. i'll just have to pray harder and reassure myself that God is watching over me from above....
E has lost some of her cherubic cutie look, thanks to a bad bout of diarrhoea/indigestion and most recently, bad flu and cough. so she skipped school for the past 1 week and was quarantined at home. she wasn't her usual self this time round and whine/cry like 10 times a day without any rhyme or reason. i'm like so so so pek cek with her but cannot blame her also rite, cos she's sick!!! aiyah!!! it's been a tough 2 weeks man! school wise, i'm still sourcing for a nursery programme for her. went schools visiting some weeks back and either they're too far away, too expensive or not impressive. so the hunt goes on, well, after my cyst thingy is settled first. cannot run around too much now, dun want to rupture the bloody thing....oh, this current school of hers really have problems retaining teachers man...was told by the boss that the 4th new teacher took 1 week urgent leave but we all know that means she's not coming back at all. pretty fed up with this situation and am seriously considering shifting E to Appletree playgroup at CCK Central. but the thot of having to take bus to and fro everyday......sigh....dun know lah....
dh is still in his probation and as such, still in a 'honeymoon' stage of his work. he's much happier rite now, working independently by himself and periodically reports back to the office. this European company really has very good benefits, free medical benefits for me and E, can claim car milage for official duties, overtime claim, etc. i told dh that die die he must stay in this job, it's too good to give up...heh! that would also mean that i gonna be a SAHM for good, at least for the next 2 years. although it's fun and fulfilling to stay with E all day, i do crave something to do, just to keep my brain running. i've asked for some clerical work from my sister (who has a contruction business) but she's got nothing for me to do leh. been looking out for part-time work but these offers are far and few between. perhaps i can attend some classes at the nearby CC.....hmmm....
have to confess that we've both been too lazy to take photos of E during outings and our short holiday trips to Malacca and Genting Highlands. well, here's the rare 2 which we somehow, made the effort to capture....
Chinese New Year red dress and big smile
Underwater World - she still raves about the big fishes and shark she saw there...:))
methinks i'm looking more and more 'auntie'.....really must go for my much-needed facial and haircut sometime next week. now that i'm not working, i still got to do some minor 'maintenance' to keep myself presentable. like what my dh said, the day that i look like the SAHA (stay at home auntie) upstairs, it's time for me to work again....heh~ i think something's really wrong with my eyesight, cos i went and selected a spectacle frame that's screamed auntie!! right after i brought it home (and no, it'll kill me to show u all the frame on my face!) been stuck with this unflattering and ego-busting frame for the past 2 mths....hmm...really tempted to splurge and order another one. maybe maybe.....:))
