IVF Procedure Starts...



Making #2 thru In-Vitro-Fertilisation(IVF) after a failed FET starts today. I am given Synarel Nasal Spray for the *Suppression stage.

*During the suppression stage, medication is given to shut down or "quiet" the ovarian function. This induced rest period allows the ovaries to respond better to hormonal stimulation. Also, suppressing the natural ovulatory cycle keeps the body from recruiting a single dominant follicle during the induced cycle, allowing for the maturation of multiple eggs.

Well, I am considered lucky that I do not need to do the lupron injection which will be given instead of Nasal Spray in some other countries. ;P However. the side effects of all suppression medications are all the same. Their symptoms are similar to women who are going into menopause like mood swings/breast tenderness/hot flashes/headaches/changes in sex drive etc.


I will continue the medication till 3rd day of my next menses which will be probably take another 10-12 days. Then I will do a blood test to confirm that my Estrogen level is suppressed and soon after, I will be starting the stimulation stage. :)

For me, the year 2007 had a lot of happiness (and hope for 2008). Happiness because i see my son, grow and grow day by day. I have a great husband. I met lots of new friends from around the world via blogging ^_^

-Juliana RW



In 2007, I become happier than before because my hubby’s got promotion and sure his salary had been increased. This had made my life more comfortable but everything seemed to cost an arm and a leg nowadays. The happiest memory is I see Nelson’s tummy becoming bigger and bigger, he can now count number 1 to number 10, by my guidance. He loves eating and he enjoys every meal. He gives us a lot of happiness by the way he mimic our talking style and making such lovely faces. At first, I was so scared to look after him but now I hope he can be with me all the time. Even I feel tired everyday but I feel my life is meaningful.

- Hazel



For my good memories in 2007,Anthiea

N Zenden : They are so delighted that we brought them to Bird Park, Zoo and 1st oversea trip to A'Famosa Malacca (as what I've listed in our unforgettable moments :D ) It's always our wish to travel and enjoy as a family.

My hubby : He started his career late and I am glad that he has a good one now with a supporting superior.

Myself: My children and hubby are my everything. Whatever good memories they have, are mine too.

- Ling


I think the best thing that had happened to me in 2007 was to be relocated to France again. I simply love the weather (4 seasons) and most importantly, we doesn't have to worry about our financial. Although the living standard is higher over here but we still can afford to travel a few times in a year. Life is definitely not as fantastic as the previous stay (2001-2004) as all my good friends are in Singapore. Anyway, we shall made the rest of the stay a memorable one. :)

"I LOVE PRESENTS"



"I Love Presents"

Shannon said that while she was happily opening tearing up the presents. ^_^ After she opened up the presents, she wanted to play with it. As most of the gifts was about Art & Craft, we only let her opened up one and kept the rest. I prefer to play it with her to minimize the mess. LOL



Oh! I think she looked pretty in the christmas outfit. ^_^ It was a pity she refused to put it on during the Christmas Gathering. Luckily, she was willing to wear it to my friend's house on Christmas Day. I paid about 12 euro for this outfit and I had to pass it on since she will not be able to fit in next year. :P

Christmas Eve



We had a small Christmas Gathering that night. The crowds shown on the photo was only during the Santa Claus session. :P Since we had invited the Santa Claus, we extended the session to our 2 neighbours who were having their own group celebration.

I hope they had enjoyed the session although there were some imperfectness. When we registered for Santa Claus to come, the person in-charge actually told us that the Santa Claus will speak to each kid when he passes them the presents. She said Santa Claus is supposed to know all our kids. We were told to fill up the kids' name, age and what do we want the Santa Claus to say to our kids.

In the end, the Santa Claus did not speak to individual kid at all. All he did was... HOHOHO.. MERRY CHRISTMAS.. :P After photo-taking, he waved and said "Au Revoir" (goodbye) and we had to remind him to distribute the presents to individual kid before he leave ~_~' ... Well, I believe language barrier was one of the reasons. :P

Anyway, we had enjoyed the night and what about you? ^_^

Frosted Morning....





Every morning, we have to scrap off the ice formed on the windscreen and warm up the car for 15 minutes before driving.


Kids having their lunch in school...


Her classroom was decorated in Christmas Theme. Most of the art and craft work were done by the caretakers and the kids.


Shannon preparing to join in her art and craft session on Wednesday. They will be decorating the Christmas Tree. I will try to take a photo of the finished project tomorrow.

She loves going to school when there are some activities going on. If not, she will tell me that she don't want to go to school several times a day. :( Anyway, she will be having one week winter holiday starting from next week.

Fun At the Gym Class







After this gym lesson, the kids will rest for 2 weeks and resume their gym class only on 8 January 08.









I managed to take some short videos during the last session of the gym... :P

Toy Sales & Crazy Us

There was a crazy sales at Carrefour last weekend. If we purchased $20 worth of toys, we will get a $10 voucher back. We can buy anything with the voucher and it will be valid till Aug 08. We rushed down to Carrefour after the Clapotis Event and look what we have got.



CRAZY RIGHT?? But I just couldn't resist the sales!!! It was literally 50% off!!! Most importantly, J was willing to spend this time. So I took the chance and grabbed whatever I think Shannon will love it or need it... LOL

Christmas Celebrations

I have been really tired lazy to post the last few days.. Now I am going to do "backlog" again. :P

LAST TUESDAY 11 Dec 07 @ GYM CLASS


By looking at the "kum" , it looks like our Chinese New Year Celebration ya?



They had a very very small Christmas celebration during the tea break. The kids were all given a present. Shannon was so excited and opened up the present immediately. :P

Last Wednesday 12 Dec 07 @ Creche



This was done by Shannon in the creche. The kids stuffed favoured bonbon (sweets) in to Dates, prunes, apricot and coated with colourful sugar pearls.

Last Sunday 16 Dec @ Cazaux Air Base








We went to the Cazaux Air base on Sunday. It was a yearly thingy. All the kids of the working personnel in the Airbase were invited to meet Papa Noel (Santa Claus) and collect a present. We heard that the Santa Claus will arrived in the helicopter (as of few years ago) but in the end, he arrived in a FIRE ENGINE. When he stepped down, he started to distribute sweets to the kids surrounding him.



After collecting the sweets, we took some photos with some of the cartoon characters and she went to play with some of her friends. She was having fun chasing the jiejies around.



We followed the crowds and went into the auditorium to watch some performance for a while. After 15 minutes, we went to another place to collect her Christmas present and left for another Christmas Functions.

Christmas Celebration with Clapotis on 16 Dec 07




This Christmas Function was organised by Clapotis. It was a potluck even and we contributed the K0nnyaku Jelly we made on Saturday night. Then we started to play the game prepared by them.

Fishing Game


Throwing Game



Face Painting


Shannon refused to participate in the face painting. She cried and said that she wanted clean face *roll eyes*


After each game, the kids will be given some sweets or chocolates.


Happily jumping around.


As usual, she opened up her present after the caretaker passed to her.

PHOTO TAKING SESSIONS WITH HER FRIENDS






We left the function at about 5pm as we went for a shopping spree at Carrefour. :P
