A Long and Draining Weekend

What a weekend... This must be the most difficult weekends I have ever been through.. How did it all start? Tell let me tell u..

Well.. I happen to be travelling on business.. yes.. again.. And interestingly enough, thursday, after breakfast @ my hotel in China, the lock on the door for some reason or other couldn't open.. As a result, I was stuck outside my room until they could open the lock.. Den in the afternoon, I found out that my Grandmother passed away.. On top of that, due to the inexperience (or other reasons) of the people i was working with, I could not complete my work and had to push them to work so that @ least some of my work could be done..

On Friday, my wife had to go for a minor eye operation.. This was the most difficult thing for me.. Can u imagine the most important person in my life going for an operation when I was not around? I mean altho it was only a minor Operation.. but i mean it's like i am supposed to be there for her.. Anyways, managed to change my flight to come back on Friday.. however, my flight was delayed!! and the 'wonderful' thing was that my flight was not even listed on the Internet!! So for like 3hrs, every1 was wondering where was I..

My grandma was cremated on sunday evening.. Thankfully she is saved and that she has gone on to be with the Lord.. But I guess my baby would be missing her wonderfully knitted booties.. and of course his great grandmother.. But she has lived a full life and her passing was quick and painless.. Thanks every1 for their concern and prayers..

I am so drained.. didn't even wan to get out of bed this morning.. I guess everything's slowly started to affect me.. But I know and I have to count the blessings of the Lord.. and know that I am truly blessed by Him... Anyways.. since it's back to more baby prep stuff.. hahahaha... :D

3 Months and counting.. Down..

3 more months to go.. It's a countdown to the birth of my son.. Since the last time.. A whole lot of stuff have been added to the house. We went down to the Motherhood Exhibition @ Expo and bought a lot of stuff for the baby.. since it was on sale.. and we would need the items eventually.. so why not?

After two days of exhibition, we ended up with 2 cartons of Pampers, 1 car seat, 1 Cordlife Cord blood bank membership, 3 bottles of detergent for baby's clothes, 3 bottles for washing liquid for baby's bottle, 3 bottles of shower gel.... yes.. and the list goes on.. it'll take like the rest of the blog to list out the items, so i shall not bore u people... hahahaha...

The trip to Bangkok was good.. a short break from work and stuff.. the hotel was excellent, and the food was quite okay.. and of coz the ladies bought a whole bunch of stuff.. Bangkok being the shoppers paradise..

The baby's growing up well.. It's fun to talk to the baby @ night.. and sometimes u can feel the baby responding to your words.. It's like it looks forward to hearing your voice that kind of thing...

Anyways.. the process of room conversion must continue.. probably start looking for a cot and stroller soon.. The study now looks like a store room for baby with all the baby's stuff..
