Rattling on.........

I'm 36wks3days today and am feeling kinda lethargic. Dr Fong gave me 3 days medical leave which started yesteday and ends on thursday. Would be on 1 day leave on Fri to spend the weekend at Sentosa, celebrating our 5th year anniversary together - happily married and totally blissed with my husband, soul mate and best friend. He is the best you can ever pray ask or imagine. I simply adore him.

We have been separated for almost a month since we both came back to SG on 8Nov and he left on 12Nov (his birthday) and back tomorrow (Thank God!!) after his marathon trip to Seoul-HK-Seoul-Guangzhou in the last 3 weeks. Unbelievable schedule sometimes when I check out his itinerary. What to do, this man is absolutely passionate with his job. He loved his work and it totally consumes him when you get him talking about earth-moving equipment and construction machinery. Hydraulic system, machine performance and fuel efficiency, work tools and applications. Much as we both work for the same enterprise but I don't share the same fiery passion. Perhaps it makes a big difference in time tenure. He is 5yrs with the company and I am approaching my 2nd year in 5mths time. How time flies! But I really like working for CATERPILLAR. I have a sense of belonging and I felt like I am contributing to the success of the enterprise in my work. Especially since I am now working in Beijing together with Josh, there is this sense of accomplishment when you see how we help our dealers to streamline marketing and sales processes to better achieve sales performances in the china market where construction projects are heightening. Every part of china is booming with construction projects and i gave me great pride to see a piece of CAT equipment in the job site building towards a 'better tomorrow' in China. The sense of pride is indescrible. It is like a part of you is contributing to the social and economic progression of China, probably the largest or second largest country in the world with almost 1.5 billion people.

I enjoyed watching how Nadine move in my womb. She is rather active especially after a hot drink or a meal. It is almost like me sensing that she is 'absorbing' the food after my meals and enjoying hers! so weird and amazing but really I felt her savouring the food especially each time I enjoyed mine. Great to be back home where you've milk and sandwich served at breakfast time and hot dinner on the table.

Beijing is about -4 today.

Has been raining non-stop here in Singapore. It is not drizzle but real downpour!!! Wanted to go to Tampines Mall to shop for nadine's stuff but it is so heavy that it is impossible to step out without getting drenched. Maybe tomorrow would be a better day to do that.
