NATAS Fair August 2009

Mon ,31/08/2009

Last Saturday me and hubby went to Natas Fair at Singapore Expo hall 4&5. We were planned to have a look and make some comparison for our honeymoon trip. We went there after our lunch and paid an entrance fee of $3 per person.

I thought that Natas Fair will have lesser visitor this year because of bad economy condition nowadays. But I was wrong. Natas Fair still have lots of people queing to go in and most of them were making a booking for coming holiday.

After compared so many travel agents in Singapore,finally we decided to go with Genting Holiday Travel. It’s a small travel agent,but heard that they have good service. We paid the deposit and took some free gift. Besides,there was free winter hat from Korean Tourism Board as well.

The shocking tragedy of motherhood

Thu ,27/08/2009

I believe that every women does loves their children and have develop a very strong motherhood through out the ten months of pregnancy. But sometimes things doesn’t turn out as what supposed to be.

Many cases of the motherhood action that shock us deeply. There have been a few cases in recent years regarding the shocking tragedy of motherhood.

Recently there was a case where mother strangling three of her newborns and sentenced to jail. Few years back, a case where mother drowning her five children on a bathtub.

According to some of the study, such behavior is often due to depression. This behaviour often triggered by chemical reaction in the brain which cannot be control.

This irrational behaviour can happen to any mother who burdened with pre or post natal stress. Full physical and mental support needed during pregnancy and after giving birth. If pre or post natal stress spotted, medical professional advice needed immediately.

Redand Trip – Day 2

Wed ,26/08/2009

Woke up early in the morning, get prepared with the sun-block and swimming attire. We went for breakfast together with another couple. It was a great morning and fresh air.

After breakfast,we went back to our room to have a short rest after and take our snorkeling gear. We were again out from the resort by boat provided,heading to the marine park. It’s more like a beach type,we were snorkeled there. There were lots of colourful fishes. Many of the people ready with their bread to feed the fishes.

After that,we went back to resort and took our time for shower. We met up with our friends for lunch and spend our own leasure time. Around 4 pm,me and hubby went down to the beach.

We spent a great afternoon fooling around at the beach.

Redang Trip – Day 1

Tue ,25/08/2009

We are back from our short trip 2 days ago together with another couple. Redang is a very nice and relaxing place. But it was a long and tiring bus journey. We were on the road for 9 hours, continued with taxi and finally the ferry. We departed on the previous night at 10.30 pm and reached there the next day around 11 am.

We checked in and went for lunch,our snorkeling activity begun right after that. It was a very new experince to me. We went down to the sea with the life jacket and snorkeling’s gogles. I was very shocked when I realized it was a deep sea,I have nothing to step on.

I was hanged on to the boat’s ladder for quite sometime. Finally,I have the courage to let go the ladder and swim to the other side.

We went back to the resort and had our BBQ dinner. It was really amazing day. We went to bed very early as we were tired after the very first snorkeling.

Mon ,17/08/2009

Me and hubby are going for our Redang Island trip in 3 days. We are book the room with a promotional package which includes meals and snorkelling activities. Both of us are usually went for relaxing at the resort and seldom involves in any water activities. I have decided to take part in snorkelling activities this coming trip.

The most important thing is sun-block for body and face. I don’t want to get sun burn definately. 2 sets of swimming suits for snorkelling and beach activities. Besides,another important thing is soothing gel. Bring along the soothing gel for precaution purpose. In case we are get sun burned,but hopefully it won’t happen.

Stillbirth

Mon ,10/08/2009

I’ve read an article form the newspaper few days ago about “stillbirth”, where the developing infants dies suddenly in the womb. The cause of stillbirth still unknown. The symptoms of stillbirth are the infants suddenly no movement, hardly to grow and bleeding from vagina.

They interviewing a Singaporean couple who have experienced stillbirth. The pregnant mother went to work like usual, and because of the busy work she didn’t notice that the infant was not kicking for that day. She happened to have routine check up the next day and found out that the baby was gone in her 36th weeks of pregnancy. His neck entangled by the umbilical cord.

The mother regretted so much for not being observative enough. The normal baby should have kick at least 10 times a day. If the mother realized it earlier, doctor might be able to save the baby through the C-section.

What a sad story here…I would like to share with you all..don’t ever do the same mistake..
