Hitting the 6 month mark
What I can clearly describe about reaching my third trimester is fatigue, fatigue and more fatigue *maon moan*!! Waking up in the mornings for work feels as though I have already exhausted myself physically and mentally for a good 9 hours of the day.. It’s not the best feeling in the world I can guarantee! Sadly, I cannot even attribute my lethargy to tucking in late! I am usually deep in REM by 11pm and that gives me a good 8 hours of sleep (although I do wake up 200 times at night to ease my puny bladder). I am beginning to wonder if I need to be in bed by 8pm in order to feel better in the mornings and my eyelids must have put on some weight recently otherwise WHY IS IT SO HARD TO KEEP THEM UP!! I think I would need some safety pins or toothpick to see past my eyelashes really! Just one word.. T.I.R.E.D!!
Its another 8 more days before I leave Singapore back to the UK for my long awaited rendezvous with nic, hence I am trying to suck in as much of Singaporean atmosphere as much as I can. My journey on the public transport is no longer just a commute at this point. Seems like every scene I captured has been visually ingrained into the folds of my brain as part of my photo library memorabile before I officially settle down in Bristol with Nic and become a mother of 2 beautiful boys. I no longer quietly moan about the long journey to and fro the MRT and not being able to get a seat these day. I am just happy to be able to hop onto a train as and when I want knowing how convenient transportation is in Singapore. The coffee shops that I have taken for granted all my life (in Singapore you cannot walk a mile without ending up in a kopi Tiam, I am sure!!) will clearly be missed a great deal when I am back in the UK.. Gone will be the days of midnight suppers where I can just pop downstairs to buy 2 cheese prata with fish curry and a packet of Milo Peng at will.. the beauty of industrious Chinese businessman!! Well, what can I say? You won’t appreciate what you have got until you lose it.. and it stands true to a very big extend..
