<font color="ff6000">my BIL is oso a godson to Guan Yin and he said dunno after he is after a certain age den no more already..</font>
 


Veniz,
I also find the "kuan yin temple" at bugis very very "zhun" . Although I am a free thinker now,I do go to the "kuan yin temple to pray once in a blue moon. Actually previously I am more towards a christian just that now lag behind maybe because my hb is not a christian.

My mum go to the temple and ask for divination.Twice it is indicated that my current baby will be a gal gal when I just got pregnant. She did not tell me afraid that I will feel disappointed. Then I somehow got to know and also go myself. I am shock to draw a "lot" that says "The mother will give birth to a girl" !!

yes, ellysia! this is what he told me and he really everything smooth smooth after he went back to pray to his "godfather". sometime, the power of the spirit and mind is stronger than anything else!

actually, i have also heard of people who has to so-called "unbaptised" from previous religious before converting to the next one... not sure what is the criteria though...

hahahhaha... i just realised that i have a lot of weird weird friends... =>
 
Ellysia, ok, i noe about soka. I heard from my MIL that my son very pro to Kuan yin. he will guai guai go there, kneel down and put hands together, then ask for guidance to make him good boy, go sch study high high, etc. I know initially my MIL taught him to say all these, but now, he can just say himself without asking.

When that time I went to ask 'Guan Yin' (those 'tiau dan temple', he was only 1yr plus, he saw her real face (babies can see the god's real face one, even when we can't), he got scared. Coz Guan Yin look through his emotional, knows he playful.

Wendy, isit? ok, i will take note of this in future. Thanks for advice.

No offence one lah. Though, i Catholic, i also read Budhism books. In fact, i like the way they write abt life. Usu pick it fr the free distribution. Last year, i even went to take the lot divination abt whether will I conceive. N its so true. To me, all God is the same, they meant us well. Is just where we feel comfortable going wif our faith. :p
 
pkdust,

Ya the lot usu v accurate one..

wendy,

Is it? Got unbatisped procedure somemore.. i also not sure on such things. I just go temple becos one day mum bring me to temple (she used to be taoist before she convert to Soka, so she is familiar with such praying practices etc) becos tat time things not v smooth (cannot remember wat) then she teach me how to pray but after tat she dun go liao.. then i have dreams of guan yin so i tink somehow its fated plus find it really "zun" and got the religious "feel" so i will go there on and off.

Then one thing is I always dun like christians somehow (no offence to christians) bec' of some bad experiences in school days. But i dunno why get to know my hb tat time, i forget to ask him wat religion. Then when we have feelings ored, sudd then we know each other religion. He also shocked and me shocked then we dunno wat to do. Was in consideration then something happen tat bring us close and we are then together.. its kindda fated. So we discuss to work around, agreed not to interfere or pressure each other to convert and future kids will be free thinker and let them decide wat religion they want when they grow up.

Then also nowadays i get to know more christians frens then also not so 'prejudice' against that religion.

Tokking abt religion, i tink of my young days when i used to go with my parents to soka sessions and have to chant for hours. Dun really understand the religion actually bec i was then young also.

So somehow i tink it is best for kids to tink wat religion they want when they grow up rather than decide their religion for them.
 
morraine ! just abt to PM u ...
hey, can we meet earlier - my lunch hour is from 12 ... and i get hungry at ... yup 12 !!!
any mummies who can meet earlier if u dont mind ?

MAH : i delivered my first one at MAH and i love the midwives and nurses there ! Lovely bunch of ladies. However, my Obgyn this time is nearer GlenE, so i may consider delivering at GlenE instead. This is so surreal, planning for delivery !!

Tummy : second (or third time) mummies, do your tummies show earlier ? I'm into my 17th week and my tum is HUGE !!! LIke 5 - 6 mths pregnant ! Today, some kind lady offered her seat on the MRT ! I was so chuffed. heehee

I got meeting at 2plus on Monday, so likely have to leave the restaurant around 1.50pm (10mins walk to my office).
 
I try to force myself to drink milk, drank HL strawberry milk yest and today..

Then cos i am lactose intolerant.. so now stomach trapped air.

But seems like with milk, my legs dun get so tired from walking easily.

Me was away awhile collecting order for cream puff and mini rolls. Wanna order for CNY. yummy..yummy!

In fact i can feel movements of my bb quite early. Yesterday i got a big kick from my bb when my ger accidentally sit on my side tummy. Maybe my ger accidentally knock the bb.
 
morraine,

My office is v strict, i cannot come out earlier than 1pm. I have to see "fengshui" whether can sneak out or not.

But u all can go ahead and meet earlier. Maybe u all can order for me cos i always eat the same noodles.

piyo (secret garden)

For me i didn't go during events or festivals bec' too many people. Then sometimes too many people, v hard to "tok" to guan yin also.. then no space to draw lots also.
 
Piyo : wah, conceal till 20 weeks ? i had to "come clean" at 7 weeks due to my MS. whole office knew cuz i was on sick leave for so long
sad.gif

Hello all
I'm back! Thanks to everyone here who have showered so much concern over us...Scan went well, baby is a healthy baby at 315 grams now..from measurements im abt 19 weeks, edd pushed back to 6 june. Baby is confirm a Mickey, it's the first thing the songrapher showed me, his little "d" I asked sonographer abt fluid level then she agreed to help me measure, now im only about 8.. slightly below but my gynae asks me not to worry,he said everything is fine, just drink more water to hydrate myself more. Praise God!
happy.gif



I waited abt 30min for my detailed scan and my entire scan took abt 40min. Baby not very co-operative, kept waving his arms to us but refusing to move so sonographer got to keep shaking the scan stick to disturb him. And I can finally feel some slight baby movements now.. it's like those bubble/ripple movements in your tummy...
happy.gif



Regarding the pre-natal class, I managed to change my slot to start next Sat 430 - 630 instead, also Mrs Wong class. The lady at Parentcraft was very nice, she said see me like very xin ku, scared I cannot take the exercises if i go during 7th mth.... so she managed to slot me in for next Sat. And the class is actually full but she said she still has a few mummie who havent paid yet so if u all go and pay now, I tink she will slot u in and release the unpaid mummies slot.


Hi Zuen
How is it? Has clinic called? Everything will be fine!
 
Btw for those mummies whose tummy is still small or not showing, I asked gynae why my tummy so small, he said isnt it good? :p So not to worry if tummy small, as long as baby is growing well can liao...
 
Roxy,
Congrats on Mickey and really glad to hear that everything's fine!
happy.gif
Now u can "fang xin" le.

Morr,
for mon lunch, I am ok to go down before 1pm. In fact, better for me cos I usu go for lunch at 12. :p So I guess if I can make it, will go look out for Piyo and K ong.
happy.gif
 
Thanks TF, Tera and Mogudog. Really praise God everything is well. Am still alittle concerned my fluid level is slightly low but since my gynae says dun worry, just drink more water.. am more relieved.
I ate yakult and sweets before scan, but lazy baby still dun want to move, he's too comfortable, only keep waving his little arms at us...


Btw, maybe u all can call Parentcraft and try to book next Sat class from 430 - 630.. im so sad not in same class as u all now.. so trying to psycho u all to sign up for next Sat class :p
 
<font color="ff6000">im bac after meeting piyo *heh*

happy.gif
ok all?
</font>
 
TF
They will give u but normally they encourage mummies to sign up after their detailed scan... coz i walk in very slowly to pay, the nurse took 1 look at me and asked me anything wrong with me, then she even asked me to check with my gynae can i sign up for the exercises, tink maybe i really look walk very slow so look very xin ku so she pity me and give me earlier timing. Perhaps you all can try the same trick? :p


morraine! Yeah, our mickeys can play together!! Seems to have alot of mickeys in this thread liao....
 
Hi gers,
