Good to great news!
When I said I cannot look forward to go to SC & B's place.. we were the earliest to arrive, besides Layne & Eric, who has been there all evening...
And to think that we were the only people working on weekends, we made good time!
As I was opening the gate, SC came running to me, clumsily.. and she had this look on her face... such happiness. (I thought she was happy to see me) Then she said, "I'm pregnant!!!!"
I completely forgot how to open the gate. I just stood there, in awe, my jaw dropped.
I said to Steve, "Quickly open the gate, I need to go hug that happy pregnant woman!!"
Hug her I did.. and hugged her again. I am so happy to hear of the good news. This time next year, I'd have a little little baby in my arms.. SC & B's little baby... awww....
(Did I ever mention I love children and I love pregnant women?)
We sat around... all eyes on us, as usual, asking stuff like... "When's your turn?" And even worse, receiving ang pao's and having elders say, "This year is the last one I'm giving out to you!!"
So I decided to postpone the wedding, so Summer's getting married in August. All of a sudden I am not the me I am this time last year. My friends realised that with a little awe and ...(resentment?). I think this hairstyle made some unspoken statement.
I'm marrying the hotel this year and I am going to nurture this baby till it crawls, before I think of myself.
Everything seems so juvenile, everything seem so irrelevant, everything seem so... sad that all I think about is my baby.
By 10ish, they knew they lost me. If you known me to be the talkative one, you know something's wrong with me when I don't talk. I excused myself and went home... I slept by 11pm.
Sunday, I had my wake up call, on time. It was Chairwoman.
What better to wake up to if not for gossip!
Chairwoman, Have I told you lately that I love you?
This is the woman who replied me sensible when I said, "I want to get my hair dyed."
Chairwoman, "You need to be setting examples, my dear...!"
How many people do you know who would help and guide your success and not hate you or envy you for it? How many people (from work) do you drag your ass out to meet on your day off? How many people know it's time for you to wake up, and loves gossip for breakfast?
At 12 noon, I saw the repeat of CSI. As much as I am not a Grissom person, I like the team.
Gonna meet Chairwoman and head towards Jin's place. (Love the guns!)
Had dinner with the team and went home to some paperwork that I have been putting off... Things at home seem a little... Let me find the right song to tell you the story.
Alanis Morissette says it good, but she says it with her the one wearing the pants...
"as we were taking outside it was cold we were shivering yet warmed by the subject matter my wife is in the next room we've been having troubles you know please don't tell her or anyone but I need to talk to somebody"
So, I'm good. I'm focused on my baby. Nothing can change that. And I still want to be the turbo-charged Forrester mom.
Nothing's changed. I'm still me. Just a more determined me.
Be happy for me. Thanks...

You're almost as hard to catch up with in print as in life. No, I'm not about to call you Staccato Shine!
I like babies and pregnant women also, for the most parts when they do not make too much noise. If you live with a woman carrying child, the room is always dense with her scent. That strong pink smell of fertility and ripeness.
The scent often prods other females into that pink, pink nurture.
Of course we're happy for you.
You are aware when you say "we", there isn't such a term called "we".
"Of course we're happy for you"
You, I know, is NOT a "collective" person
Shine...cant wait for The Day seeing you walking along the aisle...and The Other Day when you've Shine Jr or Steve Jr in your arms.
