Checkup at Centre of fertility

Finally, my 3 months-wait-scan-appointment is here!
I was quite nervous that husband said 
'that it sounds like a male gynae
But im just glad if him/her speaks english.
And hope the scan wont have bad news.

Since is a hospital,
Im glad my french was good enough to pass
for the receptionist and nurse.
Sadly, the gynae (woman btw) dont really speak english
But she was fine to speak in french
And i answered in english
Well, we survived somehow

She insisted husband should acc me
That baby planning is couple event
She only calm down when i explain that
- Im here for my period issue
- we only start trying for baby recently
And i was up to the scary chair for internal scan
That finished in less than 3min..

Since i didnt know whether is abdominal or internal ultrascan,
I made sure my bladder was full
Which wasnt required for internal scan
Oh well, better have pee than no pee

After the quick look,
She said my ovaries are bigger than normal
But all was fine.
I wondered is it because she sees couples with infertility problems

That my condition became less serious for her.

At least she was willing to give me medicine for period
And thereafter i will need to go for blood test and a more detailed xray scan. 
I guess by right husband need not go for test 
But since im going forall the tests,
She requested husband to go for sperm test                              
I guess we start infertility testing much earlier than normal because of my condition
Well, at least is affordable.
And with the long wait of appointment

I think is fine to start now...

Worklife?

While i miss being a workaholic

I think i ren ming

Or im giving my poor heart a break

I did tried to search for a perm job

From the beginning of 2015

Till june/july

When i had no replies/ rejections

That i convinced myself that is fine

To continue babysitting for the same family

Especially when my boss had been super nice

To give me off when i need

And even gave me a 1 month bonus

It takes longer to travel to the same family

But i think i prefer to work with the same kids

Than to restart the whole procedures

Added that we were shifting then,

Its much better to stay in comfort zone.

I dont know it is because i have worked for 1 year

Or the kids grew up

Or because im the constant in their new school life

I do find it easier to manage them now

Husband wanted me to ask for an increment

Which i didnt 

But suprisingly,

i have an increment of 1euro more per hour

they are paying 50% for my transport card

And the new school schedule lets me work more hours.

While im still dreaming to have a perm job

I guess im lucky to have a part time job now

And still earn some income for shopping, haha

The icon of misfortune

I have been a fan of running man for the longest time
and i managed to influence the husband to like it too
Since each character has their own persona,
husband's favorite is Lee kwang soo
also known as the icon of betrayer and misfortune.

Ever since we moved into the new appartment,

I think husband became an icon of misfortune.

For examples:

He reminded me 248574745x to be careful of the key to the backdoor lock

As it is the only key we have for that lock and its quite fragile,

and he managed to break it.

He tried to open the bottle with a cutter

and end up making a tiny hole on the kitchen top.

He wanted to cover the bathroom tiles before he put some mastic on the floor

he mistaken double sided tape for masking tape

and end up having a hard time removing the tape from the tiles

He seems to have a bad magic finger to break something in new home.

He hates it when i say this bceuase he thinks it brings him bad luck

but well, i guess you become what you like in life, no?

haha

Wassup??

I havent updated since we shift
It has been crazy period of
Unpacking, setting up, order furniture,
Searching for decor ideas, arranging...
Well, you get the flow.
On top of all, 
My work started and days seems shorter
While weekends are packed..
Arrrgh 
At least all is fine.

Anyway, i received a letter to return to my school
To receive a new sponsored french class!
While im not excited to go back to the same school,
I guess free classes are good.
Just a quick summary, 
I completed level a1 and dropped out 3 weeks in level a2.

As usual,
The receptionist still sucks 
At least now i can defend myself and not feel like idiot.
She insisted that i give her a copy of my class test result
Which i was supposed to receive last december.
I did not received anything in midst of all the drama
And i forgot about it.
I mean i was enrolled into lvl a2,
Is common sense that i passed the a1 class test right?
I have the letter indicating i completed lvl a1
And there should be some data in the school's computer?
NO!

Welcome to this stupid school!
She insist i should ask for my class test result
Or retake the test now.
I was so pissed off and agreed to take the test.
I was put into a group of newcomers to take the test
Except is not a test for a1
Is the very first test i took last year,
Just to differential your basic lvl of french.

After the 30m test,
I waited for my turn to see the teacher.
Surprisingly, she was 1 of the teachers
That came to cover my class a few times last year
She recognized me before i did.
She didnt looked at the test i did, wtf.
She say im definitely to be in lvl a2
And she knew about the drama last year
And assured me that now will be better. 
Everything seems good huh?

I informed her that i shifted.
And she say i cant be in the school
Because now im living in another district.
She will send my file to the other district.
Wtf.
I waste 1.5hrs for nothing.

Later in the evening,
She emailed me that she cant send my file 
To the new school and im to contact them
The craziest part,
The school is so far from my home 
That is nearer for me to attend a school in paris!

Husband had the "fun" to call the school
they insist that the gov agency must send them the file
They cant just take in a student like this
Husband called the agency and no answer.
Anyway, i think we will search for a school on our own.
At least, i need not contact that school again.

Just some random to end:

We had a greek food gathering with friends 

We bought a cheapo lightsaber nightlight

We finally shifted!

After the seem-forever wait to shift,
We finally collected our keys on friday!
After a quick inspection of the home,
We did found some wear and tear
That were hidden by the furniture.
But i guess we could live with it 
And it was too late to complain, haha.

After, we went to the notary to sign our life away
And became proud owners!
Although the home is quite clean,
We still did a clean up 
Because of my ocd genes from my mum.
And unload the 2 huge bags of stuff we brought along.

It was hard to tear ourselves away from the new home
And returned to our old home
For final packing and dismantling the bed frame.

The next day,
Sis in law came early to go collect the truck
Apart from the family,
Im thankful for the 3 friends that came.
I cant imagine how we can shift alone with the family.
The friends brought more carton boxes along,
Everyone seems to be surprised that all had been done
And everyone just need bring the stuff down.

Despite being on 3rd level,

With narrow staircase and no lift

We managed to shift everything!

Except for the washing machine,

Which was to be transfer to a friend's home

To exchange for another model.

In the end, the boys give up,

The owner will have a washing machine

But we still collected the new machine.

Unloading was much simpler and faster

Since we stay on the ground floor.

Everyone was praising the new home!

I guess the size was small

and photos didnt do the new home justice,

So everyone was surprised how nice it is.

I think is more of they spent 1hr+ at old home

That the new home is a nice comparison, haha.

After unloading, we had lunch

And surprised my mother in law with a cake.

I abandoned her at the supermarket

To secretly buy a cake and flowers, haha.

It was her 60th birthday! 

After everyone left,

Husband went return truck with sis in law.

I managed to unpack some stuff

And we are still trying to survive without sofa

(we only have 1 chair now) and fridge.

Yesterday, we forced ourselves 

To returned to old home to clean up

Today, im going back again for last cleaning.

After, it will be forever bye bye to that

And focus on our new home! 

Happenings in geneve

Since sis was busy with meetings,
We woke up early to breakfast together
And i spent the day wandering in geneve.
As usual, geneve to me is like a big raffles place,
nothing much to do.
                                                                             
The 2nd and 3rd day passed quickly,                   
Shopping for sis and myself              
My hair had been a crazy mess
and i have the crazy idea to grow up my white hair     
But hairsalons were crazily expensive
That i borrowed a scissor from the hotel
And snipped off my own hair!      
Haha, i think it looks decent.                  
*pardon my round face*

On the fourth day,

I googled and found the flea market was on.

Google map told me that is a 20min walk

From the train station                        

But as usual, i got lost                

And found it after 45min walk, opps

Well, at least i found it.

It was not a big flea market

But i spent 2hrs there searching for treasures

I fell in love with a "small" table

Which cost 60chf (before bargaining)

Husband was not very keen.

Sadly, i gave up to buy

Because it was too big 

Its going to be very difficult to bring it

In my train back to paris :(

Ill definitely buy it if i was in paris!

Sis was off for the evening

So i persuaded her to go for korean food!

I cant remember the last time i ate proper korean food in a restaurant.

We ended up lost again

But was glad to exercise before arriving. 

Food was expensive

Well, at least i was super happy!

The next day it was time for me to go.

Farewells are always hard.

As much as i was sad,

I was also looking forward to return

And shift to my new home!

Nevertheless,

The trip was really great!                                 

I had the alone time that i loved,          

Sisters quality time

(i think the last time we travelled alone

Was before the kids came!),                   

And the huge bag of singaporean goodies

To survive till i return next year.

Back in geneve again

So, sister is in geneve again for her company's event
Last year I came here to be babysitter for her kids.
This year, I came to visit sister
But she is busy with her meetings and dinners
That I get to roam around geneve alone.
Apart from seeing her in the mornings and nights...
We met up on sunday to spend more time together.

Basically, there's nothing much in geneve
But I enjoying roaming the streets alone
Under sister's colleague's recommendation,
I tried the mac's sundae with chocolate sauce,
And im surprised that the chocolate sauce taste better!

Is crazy how everything is so expensive
More expensive than in paris!
A mac sundae costs 3,70chf 
Or a croissant is 1,85chf!
No wonder they pay better in geneve
They need the extra income to survive here!

Although french is one of their main language,
Most speak english to me 
and not let me practice my french.
Well, is good to be able to not struggle with language.

However, unlike other french countries I have been to
I kinda feel people are cold.
The usual "bonjour" and "au revoir" don't happen
In stores, cafes and hotel! 
Maybe im too used to life in paris
Where everyone always greet everyone, haha.

One more day to go....
