Lullaby - Rainbow Connection

The Rainbow Connection

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it,and look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing?
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

All of us under its spell,we know that it's probably magic....

Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
La, la la, La, la la la, La Laa, la la, La, La la laaaaaaa

Second Trimester

Time really flies. I am fast approaching my third trimester. I can see my tummy getting bigger and rounder. Little precious Phoebe is kicking me when she's awake. So amazingly cute. Its only like a few more months to 19 Mar 2007.

I really think I need help on my housework. I don't really feel like doing them anymore. I am tired of over-exerting myself.

Maybe she can feel that I am unhappy? Trying to cheer me up. I know she'll be there for me. I will also be there for her. Can't imagine holding her next to me.

Sometimes I wonder if I am up to the challenge. I hope to handle things by myself. I hope I have the strenght, spiritually.

Lunch

My $5 lunch at Hawker Centre. Hm... Eating quite a lot these days...

Birthday Cake

Phoebe comes just at the right time. After this birthday cake, she gets to "eat" during Christmas and CNY before popping. Not forgetting the dumpling festival, durian season and Tang Yuan Day - "Dong Zi". Lucky girl!!!

Lullaby - Over The Rainbow

Over The Rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

I have to do a CVS. The ADC clinic is so damn cold and I had used up the whole morning do the test with more of it actually waiting...

It is a very scary experience. Psychologically. Wonder if I can handle it if I wanna go for Number 2...

First Trimester

I got morning sickness. No appetite and feeling naseous every time around noon. I have lost weight. Argh.

I am so scared of losing my baby. I hope whatever I do is right...

New Generation

I got good news today. We are expecting a bundle of joy in another 8 months. Hope its a girl.
