Happy Chinese New Year everybody!!!

May all of you be blessed with good health and happiness!!!

Finally, I don't have to worry that my baby won't be a dragon boy! I know I'm missing out this year celebration since I can't go home. Don't be ridiculous and ask me to buy a flight ticket home cause the airline wouldn't allowed a 35 weeks 4 days pregnant woman to be on the board. I know my silly grandmother said to me that if you happen to give birth on a plane, your child probably gets free flight tickets. Lolz.


Last month, hubby kept pestering me about when will little bub coming out cause he can't wait to play with him but I think it's still early. We are really excited and even done packing my hospital bag. Well, hubby pack all the baby stuff and I thinks he overpacks it. Haha. I got into a cosmo programme where I have a midwife assigned for all my check ups and 24hours after labour, I can go home and my midwife will do the check ups at the comfort of my own home.

2011 was a new chapter for Jo and I because we decided to stay in Australia. We moved from Tasmania to Melbourne hoping for better job opportunities. We stayed in our friend's house for 1-2 months while looking for a house. I am thankful to them because they are amazing people with great heart. Thanks again, Neo and Tracy. Around March we found our ideal apartment and applied for permanent residency.

Not long after we moved into our new apartment, my mother was sobbing over the phone and told me that my grandfather was diagnosed with chronic prostate cancer. The next thing I remembered was it's time for me to go back Malaysia and visit my grandfather for the last time. As soon as I arrived Penang, my mom drove me to the general hospital where grandpa was hospitalized. I was sad and traumatized when I first sighted my grandfather, he was thin and motionless with his beeping life support machine. It was surreal to me but death was approaching him fast cause he passed away the next day. I believe he stayed another day just to see his granddaughter for the very last time. I returned to Australia after my beloved grandfather's funeral.

It took awhile before my life in Melbourne resumed back to normal then I started looking for jobs and sending out few resumes. Around June I started feeling sick in the morning and grouchy all the time without hesitation I did a home pregnancy test and the result was positive. We made appointment with a general practitioner and went for an ultrasound and confirmed the pregnancy. The baby was a blessing for us so we told our parents and they seems happy with the news.

We went back to Malaysia beginning of August and organized our wedding ceremony. It was challenging cause we have a date that Jo's dad had picked out for us which only gives us a month to plan but NOT IMPOSSIBLE. We got married on 2008 so we didn't have to worry about the marriage registration but our to-do-lists was still long way to go and not forgetting our chinese tradition. Overall, I believed we managed it cause our parents, in-laws and guests seemed happy and well entertained.

We returned to Australia, Oh I forgotten to mention that we got our PR approved and got our Australian driving license too!! Well, 2011 was a bumpy ride for me but it all ends well. I believe my grandpa is watching over me and my family. I miss you.

Since I've graduated, it's time to go home.. I'm excited to go home but in the same time feeling quite depressing. Some of you might know where the 'depressing feeling coming from', all the hurtful things that a person can say and do to you without acknowledging your presence. Anyway, I've definitely learn and understand more about this person's thought and actions. I realise that 'the person' do not care how others feel (although the bragging about how religion plays an important role in life) and do not respect anybody including family. Yes it's so hypocritical. Looking at the bright side, it's better knowing it now then later. At least I know how to deal with it, right. *fyi: not my hubby.

I miss Penang a lot although the situation may have affected my being. I hope it does not prevent me from enjoying my time back with my family and friends. Fun apart, I really need to submit all my applications in before my visa expires. It's taking a lot of time trying to read and understand and also navigate the Australia immigration website. Not only that, I have to find a job or else I have to study something else. Yikes. The first step is always hard and I hope I've made a right decision. I really need all the luck I've got.


Anyway,


Happy New Year 2011! Wish everyone health and success!!! *Cheers
