A short holiday, sort of..

Been a long long while since I last updated this blog. Besides the busier than usual work schedule and the extra doses of office politics, I was actually wondering whether I should (or should not) start blogging about my preggie process.

It has not been an easy journey, but I have actually survived 22 weeks, and counting... Despite all the "sacrifices" I have had to make, it's really worth it and I'm enjoying the whole process, although I really can't wait to meet lil' Lucas face-to-face!

So, well, overseas holidays were one of those small indulgences that I have had to give up, cos my gynae put a strict ban on any overseas travel for the whole 9 months. Holidays - long or short - have always been one of the must-haves for me, in order for me to stay sane and take a brief respite from work. Well, it's no longer a must-have now; I have cancelled (literally, yes, cos the tickets and hotel were all booked) the trip to Melbourne that I was really looking forward to, to catch up with Mum and the two cute lil' Js, a work trip to Japan that I was anticipating too, cos Japan was (and still is) one of those countries I really, really wanted to visit, and totally stopped planning for any other overseas jaunts for the rest of the year.

So anyway, I was fretting over how to celebrate my birthday (my last one alone with Pi), and thought of booking a chalet where the whole family can come together. Alas, the bigger chalets were fully booked months in advance. And then I thought, why not escape to a beach resort and make it like a "true" holiday - except it'll be in Singapore? And so I booked a 3D2N escapade to a resort on Sentosa (technically still part of Singapore, but away from Singapore - how nice!).

It was a decision I'm glad I made. Pi and I really enjoyed ourselves just idling away, sleeping in, and splashing about in the very nice swimming pool. Ok, maybe the crowds outside the resort were less than ideal, but otherwise, we really felt like we were away on a holiday - without the jetting/travelling fuss! We're already even thinking of bring lil' Lucas back here for a swim when he's a few months old. ;)
