Energy depletion

Being pregnant really drains (and I am really D.R.A.I.N.S) your body of any existing energy source.. Even doing a 3km run or being up in the Malaysia mountains with my bike did  not ever exhaust me this bad! While exercising produces that feel-good endorphins which is mother nature’s way of rewarding you for all that hard work done, pregnancy does nothing except make one feel sluggish and much like a whale 90% of the time. It’s tiring even thinking about needing to get up from my seat to the nearest toilet and it sure does not help that all pregnant women are granted with bladders the size of a mango.. no no, more like a size of a pea :s

 My day starts at 7am where I wake up and get ready for work. Once the irritating alarm goes off, I would jump out of bed almost in an instance (as lazing around would only prolong the reluctanance to peel myself away from the mattress) and head straight for the bathroom..By 7.45am, I would be out of the house dragging my feet to the bus stop headed for the MRT station. Getting on the train is another story altogether.. As my belly is not showing much now, fighting for a seat once the train arrives is a daily battle! I feel like one of those women stood outside of a Chanel flagship store on a mega sale day, just waiting to get my hands on that precious leather purse or whatsoever.. except, this is only for a seat on the train! Just the journey up till there would have been enough to wear me out! Upon reaching Outram Park MRT, it’s another 10 minutes walk to the office (including 24378 flight of steps that is!).. No wonder I am tired by 9am! Once at work, the need to multitask and kill more braincells leaves me mentally pooped.. By 6pm kock-off time, I am definitely ready for bed! Gosh! Just how tried can I possibly be?

I am also at this irritating physical stage of looking like I ate too much steaks and pies instead of being properly pregnant. Not the prettiest I would imagine.. I just envision myself to resemble a little like a frog.. skinny limbs with a tummy.. not sexy.. Having a proper bump would in fact make me look more normal, sad to say! Anyway I really have to stop writing this blog.. I am getting tired just typing away.. I need to start stuffing my face with some chocolate cake, pineapple tarts and fried fritters…

Digression: Yes I reiterated time and time again how exhausted I have been constantly BUT apparently my jaw muscles are rather unyielding and chewing IS never an issue MUAHAHAHAHAA..
