Our new home

Bismillah wal hamdulillah. We are so happy with our new home. At first I am scared of A not wanting to move and just leave the house in bare minimum but alhamdulillah, he has accepted with much love. We collected our keys from HDB office on 30 May. So excited sampai balik rumah even though nearing buka period just to see the house. Our appointment was at 2.45pm but I can only get out from work at 3pm whereas my Husband can only make it at 3.30pm. Pity the agent from the other side had to wait for us. Even though we were late, the process only took 30 mins overall. While waiting for our queue, A managed to settle the insurance and after signing, we went to SP online sign up coz the queue took forever.   We reached our home at 5pm and my Brother has been waiting for us so that he can tompang his TV while his house on renovation.  We were so happy to call this our home. We took a break from everything because of Hari R

Our unsuccessful IUI journey

Image
BISMILLAH Here I am, putting up a LOT of courage to share our failed IUI journey at KKH. I've jotted down a journal that I've kept because I might forgot the experience and the details as well. So here is my journey of my $2000 baby (no, not prada bag) Day 10: 11 April A and I opted to do IUI after we failed trying on our own because of my irregular menses and ovulation (I don't know how to use the ovulation pee kit). We decided in January to get my last period using the Clomid pills and then we are good to go for the next round. So February menses came and I missed the session for IUI so I have to wait for another cycle. They gave like a financial talk and how's the process like during the briefing of 30 mins. During our wait, we tried on our own again, and me buying ovulation kits and pee on it like nobody's business. The clauses that we had to abide to Injection dates This picture is super expired on the pee stick. Not valid to use it. 17

OUR home (FINALLY!!)

Alhmadulillah I can't keep this quiet and under a secret. WE BOUGHT A HOUSE! Like finally! After 4 years of staying at my MIL's place, I finally have my own place to stay. I won't tell you the story of our house hunting as I have mentioned it here previously. We went to see a bunch of other houses from our agent's listing but mostly not to our liking. Either the corridor was too busy with too many neighbours, too far from bustop, main road, shops and everything. Or good location but too expensive but very minimal home condition. I believed that everything happen for a reason and perfect timing. So here are the details: $420k. No COV Tampines St 83 4A model 109 sqm Corner - having 3 neighbours only Fully furnished with aircons in all 3 rooms, oven, water heater, 1 build-in wardrobe in master bedroom Toilet HIP (Home Improvement programme) done and paid I only took few pictures when we were there. And they are quite nice to give us

Fertility Diet

Image
Hi everyone! I've been too busy with so many things going around at the same time and almost forgotten about this. I've tried to do a lot of research on fertility diet and I find it the hardest for me to do. haha. All the yummy and fatty stuff are too tempting definitely. Here's a great video (and I have yet to try! opss :p) The challenge is for 21 days. We have 5 important things you should add to your current diet EVERY SINGLE DAY. We call these the Important 5. The Important 5 1. Drink 1 quart of water first thing in the morning. You can add squeezed lemon to this if you would like. 2. Drink 1 fertility smoothie every day. The fertility smoothie should contain at least one fertility superfood (maca, spirulina, FertiliGreens, royal jelly, etc.) 3. Eat one big green salad per day. 4. Eat one dark leafy vegetable every day. Swiss chard, kale, spinach, etc. 5. Drink one green juice every day. (If you are not able to get a juicer you can replac

A degree experience

How was a degree experience at 30 and doing it part-time? Alhamdulillah I love the RMIT concept where the distributed the percentages and weightage of exams, individual and group assignment so that we can score. I can roughly gauge my scores and study hard for my exams or if I scored well for my assignments, I can chill for my exams. Here's one of my assignments that I have to present in a video form. My previous modules also got movie screening which my character was very small in it.

But on the hind side, I've been experience in a not so nice group assignment when some students are slackers, sent assignment after deadline with penalties of their work but they still could pass t

Finding a home

Image
OMG I can't tell you enough how stressful I am during this searching ad looking for resale flat. K Back story a bit. We applied 2 SBF and 1 BTO just beside the Temasek Poly AND GOT REJECTED WITHOUT A NUMBER. And am so furious already so we decided to get resale flat. And my heart has been cheated 5 times after falling for the home and loving it. THEN, the problem starts to arise. Cannot go lower to our ideal price, house in very bad conditions with hacked rooms and store room, no HIP toilets, cannot pay using CPF and bla3. It is supposed to be 3 months process once we set the deal and yet, it was very hard for us. Firstly, we found our perfect home, ground floor with high windows and near my MIL place. But, the owner doesn't want to lower the price of the house when the house condition needs too many revamping (kitchen cabinets are great but the ceiling has molds and the waterproofing has worn off, window grills were in original condition a.k.a. rusty and out of date.
