Melvin had BBQ Ribs while I ordered Chicken Penne... yum yummz... Portion was too much for me though...
Breakfast at a Sin Ming coffeeshop.. fried carrot cake and fishball noodles.. what better way to spend a Sat morning!

28 Aug 2010 (Sat) - Ally & Ethan
After having dim sum with family at Yan Palace on last Sunday, we popped by Jeslyn's place to visit them.. especially to see Ethan boy!
It was his lunch time and he was enjoying his broccoli/ fish porridge.. He is turning 1 year old in Sep... Happy Birthday, handsome boy!
So adorable right! Hopefully, in a month's time... I have my bb photos to post here!

I have only seen Ally once when she was less than a month old.. Gotten these pictures from her mum who is my auntie, we are a year apart only. So officially, Ally is my cousin!

26 Aug 2010 (Thu) - Dwelling in unhappiness
I was reading my cousin’s blog during lunch and it is terribly sad to know that some teenagers are so wrapped up in their problems to notice that the world isn’t such a bad place after all.
I fully understand that acceptance by their peers is of the utmost importance at this phrase in their life.. dealing with the physical changes of growing from a boy to a man is a challenge too.. craving for love and searching for a partner never comes easy.. These are part and parcel of growing up..
But trust me – life isn’t such a bitch all the time. How about looking at things the other way? Don’t dwell in the dark for too long before it consumes your sanity totally. Don't allow these negative thoughts to flourish.
Let us know if you need a listening ear..
While on the topic of bitch, there is a few major “bitches” at work… super cannot tahan.. I think “Kaypoh” should be their middle name. How about MYOB (Mind your Own Business)?? I seriously can’t stand those who pretend to be all self righteous up in the front but has a hidden agenda beneath that hypocritical mask – totally disgusting. But since my mum says that I shouldn’t be criticizing ppl as I’m pregnant… I shall end it here. Well, there is such a thing known as karma.. what goes around comes around. What goes up must come down. Good luck, bitch.
Feeling better already ah… – I’m a true believer in never be shy in venting out your anger…
Moving on to the lighter bits of life… bro has recently gone to Surabaya for leisure and came back with plenty of photos… I think that they are well taken.. colour is great and many of the shots are taken from an interesting angle/ perspective. Go check out these awesome photos (my opinion) at http://jackson-myphilosophy.blogspot.com/

Hello on a sunny Tuesday afternoon..
Bb was kicking and moving just a minute ago, reminding me of his existence and also it’s time for teabreak.. had a slice of chocolate swiss roll :-).. I crave sweet stuff over savory snacks ever since I’m pregnant.. I have not much of an appetite recently… and it’s seems my weigh has remained stagnant for several weeks. Shall check to see if my bb is growing steadily when I return for my routine checkup on next Tue.
It’s strange to see my tummy growing bigger but my weigh remaining the same.. Pregnancy really does strange things to your body… like I feel really tired but I can’t sleep well. I feel hungry but can’t keep the food down. Instead of looking radiant, my freckles are growing at a rapid speed.
I know that I am whining again but I can’t help it… I feel constipated, big and heavy with my tummy stretched to the max. And I am starting to fear the labour pain that I have to face and endure in time to come.
Used to be rather skeptical about staying home for 4 consecutive months during my maternity leave… will my girls be able to cope?.. will I be able to change my habit of going to work to caring for bb at home?.. but as I grew more and more exhausted in these couple of weeks, I am so looking forward to staying at home.
Do abit of shopping… go for dim sum… sounds really appealing to me right now!
SG weather is so unpredictable. Was sunny when I started writing and now it looks like it is going to rain!

So glad that it’s Friday.. I have being very sleepy for the past few days.. restless nights of tossing and turning plus a running nose are killing me slowly…
I need sleep seriously and planning to get more zzz this weekend… first off, I will have to switch off my house phone to deter prankster from making the unnecessary and nonsensical calls… I haven’t got around to changing my number but will do so soon.
We have bought the bb bedding stuffs on Wed.. I have chosen light yellow sheets/ covers with cute animal prints.. lovely!

I went for my routine checkup yesterday and my bb is estimated to be 2kg!
My weigh didn’t increase but stayed the same for 2 weeks or so, and I was getting abit worried that my bb is not gaining enough weigh.. so it was good to know that he is growing steadily. Can’t wait to see him for the first time in a month or 2!
Been hearing from colleagues and friends that it is difficult to sleep well in the last trimester.. and yes, I confirm this as well. I can’t exactly pinpoint the problem but there has been a lot of tossing and turning around at night… As I progressed from one trimester to the next, been facing different set of problems. I don’t feel the burden of the extra weigh on some good days but on certain days, I feel tired, breathless and heavy. Today is a good example of a “not-so-good” day. I simply feel like staying in bed all day – except that I can’t and has been sitting at my desk for the past 9 hours.
Do you remember several months ago, I complained about a certain “stalker” in my life? Well, she has strike again!
Hmm.. I should rephrase it that she has been always around.. but I have been trying my best to ignore her existence.. hoping that along with time and perseverance, she will stop what she is doing - the whole tracking and questioning nonsense. But enough is enough loh..
Why do you bother with things which should be none of your concern in the first place? Too much free time on hand? I treasure my freedom and I do NOT need the interrogation shit. Besides, WHAT do you gain out of it?
Am seriously thinking of changing my phone number once and for all.

06 Aug 2010 (Fri) - Pictures
It has been quite awhile since I last did a picture post... so here are some pictures taken over the last month or so...
So I am pregnant and exhausted... even grumpy on some of the days.. I do not "want" a bag... I "NEED" a bag.. Not any bag... but the new Prada collection bag... I saw 2040 indicated on one of the tags in the inner pocket and thought that was the price of it.. WRONG! This bag costs S$3,940 upon double checking with the sales person.. so affordable loh...
No budget for a Prada or LV... so we (Sally and I) bought Longchamp instead.. Ok, it is not totally true that we are settling for the 2nd best.. but we decided to get Longchamp because I have a French colleague who has a sister coming to visit him in SG... we "loom pan" his sister to get us these bags as buying them in Paris is cheaper than in SG by 50%. Yes, 50%... haha! I got one for mum before we got ours when my (same) colleague went back to Paris for holiday earlier last month.. she is happy with hers! Guese which (red or purple) is mine...
My Bao Bei Poppy Wa-wa sleeping.. so adorable ok?! Looking forward to spending more time with her during my maternity leave.. hope she doesn't get "too interested" with my maid whom I will be bringing home tomorrow...
Pewter Champagne Flutes from Royal Selangor for my trainer who celebrated his 60th birthday by treating us to dinner at a fancy restaurant... Nice and I want a set of them too... But again I am a greedy person and I want everything.. anything... :-)
1 more hr to go till the end of my hectic work week.. what can be better than a long weekend?

And pictures of my Auckland cousins... they will become "auntie" or "ah yi" when my child is born.. guessed they are not so excited with the idea... but warming up to it slowly... I am expecting presents from them.. one wants to give angbao and the other wants to give her pony toy... hahah!

Happy National Day!

Sorry for the lack of updates.. have been really tied up with briefing the new girl at work on her job duties.. I should requested for her to join a couple of weeks earlier... so much to teach with so little time to go.. guess we will have to manage...
My maid also came earlier than expected.. I was expecting her only at mid of the month, but she will join us today.. been rushing like mad to prepare all the necessities for her... bed, cabinets, toiletries... sigh.. $$$ flying away...
Since I am tied up at work, couldn't afford to take leave to guide the maid.. lucky my mum can take care of this.. but I still need to buy some baby stuff before I deliver...
