special encounter at week 37

during my pregnancy, i've different encounters with strangers. i meet really nice people who give up their seat for me on the mrt & bus (thou i seldom take public transport); people who help me with heavy stuffs, etc... yesterday while doing grocery shopping at ntuc, an old lady came over with a smiley face, point at my stomach and said in mandarin "u're carrying a boy right? 1st child right?" i was so surprised & amused. i nodded my head with a smile, then she carried on saying " 1st child boy very good... then next time your 2nd child can be girl then it'll be perfect!" i was laughing then. well, if only what she say is true. meantime, im hoping for a smooth delivery for my 1st bb. don't dare to ask for more... ahahha....
