She says: This week mummy's mood is going up n down. On monday night, Mummy n daddy finally met after daddy went reservist and not allowed to come home for that one week. We went for happy dinner n halfway through I heard that gov announced in rally that maternity leave will be increased to 4mths!! I guess my first response is will this affect my apprasial? In the end, that night I dreamt my apprasial was unsatisfactory. But on Tuesday morning, I have decided that the additional 4 weeks are useful when it comes to taking princess to take jabs, check-up n etc.
But on Wednesday, I was devasted when I read that the enhanced baby perks only applies for babies born on or after 1st Jan. I only got to enjoy tax rebate for birth in 2008.
However, a twist of fate happened on Thursday. Due to a number of appeals, gov is bring forward the effective date to 17th Aug!!! Mummy is so so so happy that I will be able to spend more time with u! But being a perfectionist, how I wish the additional 4 weeks can be shared with daddy so that daddy can accompany us when mummy in confinement. But I guess daddy got 6days childcare leave to utilise for this year so plus his own leave, at least can pei us for at least half a month??
Friday! Mummy's mood fell to the bottom again. Due to the amount of course fee that I will be attending next week, I would required to stay with the company for TWO YEARS!! By then u ald turn 2 years. No more infant but toddler. OMG! TWO YEARS is so so so long. And I get even upset to know one of my colleague is promoted. No la. I am happy for her la but it makes me realised that I lack of opportunity, environment n people to help me to get promoted here and I am jailed for 2 years leh!!!

She says: When u feel really down in ur life, even a small creature wanna bully u. Today is day 2 since I last saw daddy on Sunday. Daddy is having field camp training staring from yday to Sunday. Meaning he wont be able to come back to see us for this whole week. U still remember mummy cried in the car when daddy ask mummy to take care of herself n u on Sunday before he left for camp? And do u remember mummy cried again bitterly when daddy call me on Monday evening? Mummy used to be able to cope sleeping alone at home before I am expecting u. U must be the one who feel sad that daddy will be gone for one whole week n cried inside n in turn make mummy cried?

Last night, mummy woke up in the middle of the night to pee. Although I am not wearing spec, I vividly saw a black/brown alien thing in the shower area. I went closely n saw it was a COCKROACH! Trying to remain calm, I tried to recall where the hell is the insecticide. Maybe the insecticide is expiring or becos its odourless formula, I almost utilsed the whole bottle before the cockroach finally turn upside down n making it final struggle. I jus left it there and went back to sleep.
In the morning, I collected the body wif a piece of paper n dumped. But I couldnt use the bathroom to bathe cos I worry the floor might be slippery. In the end, mummy got to wash the bathroom today before it can gets back to operation again. What a day! Tired. Tink we have to go slp now. Tmr got to wake up at 5.30am again ...
