It was a rough week and I was having serious lack of sleep as the kids were not well and fussy. One of the days when I was at work, I received lovely flowers from the husband. This is from a guy who is super practical so flowers are kind of a luxury item. It touched me and felt like he knew how I felt and the message? That I was his wonder woman and he is lucky to have me. :)Lady Aliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17489269502040261264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375402090478173838.post-7013343481085197032015-10-07T16:02:58.551+08:002015-10-07T16:02:58.551+08:00Dana, my baby girl.

We decided to have a baby in the following year. Therefore, we well-planned and scheduled our goal. Month after month, we tried but there was not any good news. We tried again and again. My period was always late and it gave me hope that i will be pregnant. Sadly, all we saw was a single line on the pregnancy test (not pregnant) every single month. I was so sad and I thought there was something wrong in me. I reached to the point where I gave up because I was too devastated to see the same result every time. So, I stopped planning.<br /><br />One day, my brother and I planned to go for a blood donation organised by the government hospital in a local university. When we reached the location, we found out that the hospital personnel have left as they have reached their quota of the day. Without a second thought, we drove to the hospital directly to complete our mission. Yes, we were determined! I was called first for the blood test before the nurse takes my blood. Normally, the nurse will ask if we are feeling all right before they proceed with the blood donation. I was fine but I informed the nurse that my period was late for a week and this happens almost every month after my marriage. For your information, pregnant woman is not allowed to participate in blood donation. To be on the safe side, the nurse refused to take my blood and adviced me to go to the policlinic nearby my house for a pregnancy test. I was hesitated to go for the pregnancy test as I can foresee the result. Oh well, we just go for it because we have plenty time to waste. It took about 3 hours for the whole procedure because the policlinic was too crowded. When my name was called to get the result, the nurse handled me a few pieces of filled forms without any explanation. I was so clueless and confused so I got my brother to read the report. He told me that it was stated that I'm pregnant. Me? Pregnant? I couldn't believed what I have heard. I asked the nurse and she said it is positive. I still couldn't believe it. I went around and asked nurses and doctors for confirmation. At some point, I felt the nurses and doctors thought I was crazy. So, we headed home and I told my husband about the news. He could not believe it either. The reason that kept us doubting the result was because first, I did not conceived even I planned and scheduled well. How come I am pregnant when I gave up in planning? Second, do you know what was the date I went for the pregnancy test in the policlinic? It was 4th of April 2014 (April Fool) I thought somebody set a prank on me. It took us a while to believe that I was pregnant. When I finally believed that there was a living being inside of me, I cried in joy. On 3rd of December 2014, I met my little miracle and I will not forget the feeling of her warm cheeks on my face. Words cannot describe how joyful and thankful I am. Indeed, she is the most meaningful gift I have ever received in my life. I love you very much, DanaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08150167752318177256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375402090478173838.post-62046161833784858892015-10-07T15:21:27.542+08:002015-10-07T15:21:27.542+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08150167752318177256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375402090478173838.post-60348195471642574122015-10-07T15:18:49.322+08:002015-10-07T15:18:49.322+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08150167752318177256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375402090478173838.post-34157163418392723472015-10-06T23:21:03.520+08:002015-10-06T23:21:03.520+08:00The most meaningful gift I've received from my...The most meaningful gift I've received from my boyfriend is the protection kits made of mini alarm and pepper spray. It's precious to me as this is the best protection he could have give me right now. <br /><br />Having a distant relationship for five years and still counting is never an easy feeling to convey. We know very well that we can't be right-on-time for each other. Still, he did his very best, as a boyfriend to ensure I'm protected and be as safe as possible. <br /><br />Being apart from family and him, I need to be independent and rely on those good friends around me. And with this precious gift, I know my safety is prioritised. :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06917231650172486154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375402090478173838.post-91769349331904469282015-10-06T20:09:32.315+08:002015-10-06T20:09:32.315+08:00The most meaningful gift I've ever received wa...The most meaningful gift I've ever received was the gift of love from my boyfriend. It was something so immensely powerful that even money can’t buy. <br /><br />Through his strength of love for me, I’ve been able to get through the darkest days without shedding a tear. I’ve become someone who has no fear in choosing the road less taken because I know that he will be right beside me to pull me through, forever and always <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00237227812340697000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375402090478173838.post-16666725485849849542015-10-05T14:18:10.600+08:002015-10-05T14:18:10.600+08:00The most meaningful gift I have received was from ...The most meaningful gift I have received was from my boyfriend and also my girlfriends for my 25th birthday. My boyfriend is not a planner, it is always me who plans out our outings and I even made sure that usually birthdays are planned by me. <br /><br />This year, he told me that he has everything sorted out, naturally I was nervous cause he doesn't usually plan things but he gave me the gift of time because he took his time to plan it out with my friends and everything went smoothly.<br /><br />My girlfriends are always busy but they gave me the gift of their time and friendship by making it to my birthday dinner despite the fact that it was a public holiday and the next day was a working day. One of my friends got the toy story alien cover from Tokyo Disneyland when she was there and kept it in secret knowing how much I loved that little alien and she did not even tell me that she got it so that she can surprise me on my birthday.<br /><br />My other friend got me this huge hat that resembled Sandara Park's hat which I loved a lot because she knew much I am into YG Entertainment and Kpop and I was actually blonde at that time and the hat was perfect match! <br /><br />I think the most meaningful gift you can ever receive is someone's time and love because those are gifts that are irreplaceable and I got those from my boyfriend and friends.

I was so touched! She made it all by herself, handsewn stitch by stitch, no sewing machine involved. What touches me is that her eyesight isn’t good all these while, yet she went through all the trouble to make me a tote bag. She secretly sew it, without me knowing, despite I’m home almost everyday. I don’t know how she did it, but she did. Perhaps that was the reason why there was a period that she kept encouraging me to go out and meet my friends. The size is just perfect and the craftsmanship is just flawless. It’s a perfect bag for me to throw in all my “junks”, my humongous water bottle, my ipad, my cosmetic pouch. The broad shoulder straps lessen the weight directly on the shoulders. So comfortable and functional to carry it everywhere . She even chose my favourite fabric print, bright big floral prints on dark background. What can I say, mom knows best :)Xin Yuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01134461070897874342noreply@blogger.com
