Our Rainbow Baby; Baby S
Stanley and I found out that we are pregnant on the 24 May 2016.
This news to us was received with mixed emotions. We felt fear, excitement, joy but of course hope, grace, faith and mainly happiness and bliss as I do know how much Stanley love children and how much ever child is a gift to their parents.
However, having been through one molar pregnancy, it was not easy for us to face the next without having the fear that something will too go wrong.
Not known to anyone around us; our parents, friends or relatives, Stanley and I was also pregnant last year; 2015. However, it was a molar pregnancy which ended in a miscarriage at week 10. Having a molar pregnancy not only means we loss the baby, it also put my life in danger of having a tumor which needs to be treated by chemotherapy. It was scary, depressing and saddening. Teachers' Day 2015 will always be remembered as the day I lost my first pregnancy. I was very upset, but deep down in me, I kinda of fully understood why it happened. Believing that everything happened for a reason and having faith that good and something better will come out of all this learning.
I have been a very self-centered person for a very long time, but through the years of being in a relationship with Stanley and finally marrying him, I been learning on the things it takes to make a relationship works. It is not me but we and not I but us. The old me would never wanted children, but seeing how good Stanley is with kids and how much he loves them, the us now would love to have kids of our own cause I know he will be a great dad. However embarking on the journey to parenthood was not something I am totally convinced I could do, I was unsure if I am able to love my child the same way I love myself but somehow I believe the miscarriage taught me that I could! Cause from it I felt sadness like i never felt before, I was in pain emotionally and crying and I know from that that I am able to love my children unconditionally and am willing to go through it all; all the pregnancy things and changes just to bring a little one to the world.
So after 6 months of monitoring and checks after the molar pregnancy; many many blood test to make sure that the HCG level drops back to 0. we embark on our journey again of trying to conceive. And it was not long after that we were blessed with a little peanut.
24 May 2016, the day I found out about my pregnancy with Our Rainbow Baby. It was joy, fear, excitement and anxiousness. But we try to contain it all and just journey on with faith.
30 May 2016, as I had a previous miscarriage, my gyn; Dr Claudine Tan, asked me to check in earlier for a check to make sure all is going well. So had my first check then at just week 5, Dr Tan was very assuring and deep down I was actually very hopeful too, somehow this pregnancy just feels different but it was still with caution that we head on. So everything was still kept within the two of us; Stanley and me.
21 June 2016, our second check, at that point we are able to hear the heartbeat and it kinda assure us that things are good. However, we wanted to be sure and thus did not want to share the news with anyone till the OSCAR test results are out. Scan looks like a little dolphin, which I like as it is an animal which symbolizes "HOPE" for me and my mum!
18 July 2016, had our OSCAR test and for the first time, we get to see quite a define little being! Too cute and filled with so much hope!
25 July 2016, Got our OSCAR test results, all is good! Thankful for the blessing, thankful for Stanley's unconditional love and support! Honestly just feel very blessed and grateful for it all!

A day as an Engineer in Micron
Once every 5 years, Stanley's company; MICRON Inc, will have an open house / family day for all the family members to visit the facilities and understand the work processes there!
So after having worked there for 5 years now, I get to visit his workplace for once, like finally!
Being an engineering grad, it was an option to join an engineering firm after graduation, but i did not and instead join the teaching force as it has long been my passion and dream. Therefore, after NTU i moved on ti NIE and did my PGDE in Education, which brings me to where I am today; the teaching fraternity.
So what goes on in an engineering firm has always been a huge question mark to me. Therefore, being able to see a real MNC in function is cool!
Basically, little known to many MICRON is the company that produce flash memory for all the APPLE products and of course many other company.
The open house not only facilitates their family day, but also is an open house to showcase their new extension. Therefore, is a rather huge thing!!
Display.. Flash Chips.
Yup.. EVERYDAY!!
Stanley's Desk.
He ensures that it was packed and super neat as OCD me was visiting... hahaha...
Engineer @ work.
Cool stuff.
The amount of money their spend on the day is crazy...
Nice canteen and Cafe in the company!
They have a gym too!!
It was nice to walk around and see all the cool things which the company have to offer and the work with Stanley do. It gives me a better understanding of what he handles @ work and also the craziness he face on a day to day basis.
After work, we had a nice meal together and also visit factories in the woodlands area!

Surprise Birthday Party; Dad 60th Birthday!!
This year, my dad turns 60! And my family decided to do something special for him! Like really surprise him for all the hard work, the love and all the effort he give, not only to us, but to all his brothers, sisters and the extended family!
Being the eldest at home lots of responsibility weighs down on him and having been through 3 years of struggles and doing his best to hold everyone together, we decided that it is finally time for him to celebrate; all the victory and success he had for the past 60 years of his life and to many more to come we pray.
More than a month before the actual day, we started planning and brainstorming on what we want to do and how to want to make it memorable for him. A month in we started deciding a date and working on our ideas!
We decided to invite the extended family together at Peach Garden Thomson to celebrate his special day! But of course it is a surprise, so he totally dont know what is going on and yup it totally shocked him! We when about booking the tables @ Peach Garden Thomson, ordering the designer cake from Pine Gardens to gathering everyone and trying our best to keep things under the cover!
On the day itself, we each take a role in ensuring things run smoothly and making sure that he is indeed surprise!!
From the photos we gather from the event, it was really priceless to see my dad smile like he never had in the past 3 years and to see how shock and surprise he is. My sis and I would give the world to keep him this happy the rest of his life!
And we indeed to pray that we have many more opportunity to do this for him and to gather the family like this! To more celebrations, love and happiness!
Enjoy the photos!
