Bye 2020; Hello 2021

Ahhh here we are again... the very last day of the year.

2020 has indeed been the most unique in recent years! Covid has definitely given the whole world a new norm!

When Covid hit spore in a major way around March, life as we know it changed drastically! For the first time in my life, we went on something called a “circuit breaker” where ppl were advised to stay home.

Meaning work from home if ure not considered to be under the “Essential work” category and home-based learning for the students.

Writing all this in a little more detail so that years later when I read back, I’ll actually remember how we managed to pull through this crazy, physically, mentally draining period!

Many days during that period, I can’t help but to wonder how differently 2020 would have been for me if we were without kids! Like no Don AND Rou! Hahah.... ahhh the peace!

But while their health were my top concern, I’m glad that I didn’t suffer any major anxiety over it. Maybe it’s also because we could manage our overall exposure outdoor.

So the risk was greatly reduced too!

Really Thank God for the protection and good health we have enjoyed.

Talking about health, I guess the most major health issue this year would be Don’s stomach pains.— He’s been experiencing stomach pain almost on a daily basis which eventually got his warded in July. Nothing conclusive on the diagnosis till now.. 🙄

Oh well, hope this pain doesn’t follow him into 2021!

I think the next biggest news would be baby number THREE!!!! 👶🏻 

As of this post, he is now 34weeks young! We’re looking at his arrival in about 3weeks’ time on 21st Jan!

In some ways I can’t wait for this whole period to be over! But the human mind is fickle and the flesh is weak!

It’s like this bitter sweet feeling knowing that this would be the last few weeks that I’ll ever feel a human move inside of me! (A whole human body and not just kkb la!) 😝

I think tts the thing I’ll miss the most about being pregnant.. baby’s movement inside my tummy. This little boy has been mostly a darling too! He doesn’t often push outwards like how Rou used to do!

It feels like he’s rolling around inside or turning very slowly.. quite cute actually. But to date, I have not managed to record a decent video of him moving in my belly.

Every time he’s doing a series of movements, I’ll start my video recording but then he’ll stop moving for a super long time after that! 🙄😒

And just realised that I don’t have any photos of my pregnant belly this time round too!!! Last pregnancy somemore already!!!!

How how how.... nothing physical to remember this last adventure!

Anyway I’ll update proper on baby’s development in the next entry before his arrival! 🤞🏼

So with exactly 3.5hrs away from 2021, I just pray for good health for everyone in the family, abundance of wealth so that we don’t have to struggle over money issues. I pray that we’ll stay strong and close knitted as a family and enjoy more special times together.

I also pray for the smooth delivery of baby A and may he be born healthy without any complications.

May my recovery be quick and as painless as possible too! Please please please... this I really praying hard for!

Aiyo this year’s nye post is all over the place! Hahah...

Next up, I pray that in 2021, wp n myself will get back our MDC GOLD title with ease! May business flow in smoothly all the time without much difficulty.

May existing clients refer new customers to us on a regular basis and May our career climb to new heights even though we have an additional baby to care for!

Praying for 2021 to be our best year yet!!!

God Bless our family and everyone around us!

[ps.. I was going to write more about how in the past few years, nye have been a little more extra special on a few occasions:

in 2009, we went out for the first time in a group to celebrate nye... back then he just joined the company and feelings were platonic (maybe borderline on the 看好他这个人😝)... but I rmb enjoying that night a lot and also praying on the fireworks tt night for someone special to come into my life in 2010. 

Then fast forward to 2012 nye, he proposed! On a stage no less! Amazing guts!

Extra extra special nye’s moments...

This year, I’m on the bed (time now is 9.30pm) trying hard not to fall asleep! With a damn painful back...

N he’s in the other room making don sleep.

Haha how different has life turned out to be..... but I’m happy.. I am.

Going to end here cos my mind is in a mess. 🥳]
