Yep, Mumsy's Still Alive

yeah, i know being pregnant is not an excuse for being lazy. get it all the time from sum who's convinced peanut's going to be covered in mould when she pops owing to my inertia.
but i am reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally exhausted.

lots of stuff happened in the last 2 months which included a 2-day business trip in march to brisbane/gold coast down under that got me so physically drained i'm still recovering from it. had nothing to do with my present job but was contracted by THE slave-driver a.k.a. "the hub" who needed me to moderate 3 focus group sessions for his client. and they insisted on meeting up with the moderator so i had to fly in to meet them and attend their presentations/meetings in order to understand their company/business operations to a greater detail.

was a bit of work for me to get back to corporate mode since i've been outta it for 4 years.and i didn't have a proper "preggie" suit so had to raid through the cupboards to put together something presentable. (lucky for me, peanut was still quite unnoticeable and i just looked like i had a big tummy i.e. fat)

greatest joke was that the clients didn't know sum and i were married, so they arranged for 2 separate service apartments (different floors too) for the 1 night we were staying in australia! unfortunately, we had only 1 set of toiletries and the service apartment didn't provide any for us to snitch and use. in the end we decided to share his apartment which was bigger and had a better view etc.
when the ozzie folks came down 2 weeks ago, sum and i had to keep up the charade till he felt i had "proven" myself and he was comfortable enough to reveal to them that i'm his missus. guess if i had not delivered a credible performance he'd have kept mum about it so that he could "sacrifice" the pawn. hahahahhahaaaa...

on to other news...

peanut's a GIRL and she's started kicking me already! of course FIL is moody and grumpy that he'll now have 5 grand daughters and only 1 precious grandson. hub joked that he'd soon be asked to take on a second wife in hope that another heir to the leong dynasty be produced. and i'll be relegated to the cold storage with the princess and peanut. seeing that i'm already in their black books, i guess it won't come as a surprise if this really comes true. of course, i probably won't take it lying down...i've already made it known: if i walk, the 2 girls go with me!
sometimes i wonder whether i'm in the right era. maybe i should get Germaine Greer to speak to them?
