Baby at week 13

Every time I'm about the step in to the ob-gyn consultation room, I can't help but feel excited because I know I'm about the see my unborn baby through the scan. Just the black and white image showing a baby's heartbeat makes me want to cry. It is really that exciting. Here's a scan of my baby at 13 weeks, from a small pea sized baby just 4 weeks ago,...

All things pretty

One thing about me is that I'm a big time procrastinator. I always have this big ideas of how I want to run an online store selling women's accessories, designer costume jewelry, clothings or all things pretty. But there's always this tiny voice inside me that keeps telling me that I might not succeed doing it. There's this question of what if it's not good enough, what if nobody likes my stuff and a thousand others what if. As a matter of fact, I registed a domain way back in 2007 hoping that someday I'll have the courage to run an online store...

New iPod Shuffle

Oh, what a tiny piece of mp3 player that is. The new ipod shuffle, the first music player that talks to you. Did I just say talks? Yes, indeed. VoiceOver is the remarkable new feature that gives iPod shuffle a voice. It tells you what song is playing and who's performing it. It can even tell you the names of your playlists. How cool is that.Seeing...

Dream wedding

It's almost over. The fatigue I experienced since Week 5 of my pregnancy is almost over. I don't feel as tired anymore. See, I can stay up till midnight, something which I wasn't able to do for the past 3 months. My body just felt so weak and it does trick to my mind as well. Just like how lack of sleep can makes me feel like I can float in the air, drifting along with the wind or something like that. Seriously. I was watching Discovery Home and Health on cable TV just now, and didn't even realised that it's already was past my bed time. You know,...

I'm now seeing pink!

I really can't wait to find out the sex of the baby I'm carrying now. Well well, 13 weeks is way too early to tell, right now, my unborn baby is about72mm, so no way it's possible to find out if my baby is a girl or boy. Honestly, we're all praying for a baby girl. We've got 9 boys altogether between my siblings, and you know a girl would be nice...

That's 500 bucks gone

Just got home after a long day out. We went to the hospital for my 3rd check-up and I'm happy to say that baby is growing so well despite the fact that my belly is not quite showing. My gynae told me that I've gained some weight but hello..400g don't count right. I can lose that weight after a pee and a poo. Seriously. Never mind, so long that the weight gain is not too dramatic. I jokingly asked my gynecologist if it's too early to tell the sex of the baby (deep down inside, I'm hoping it's not too early to tell!), he said it's still to early...

Here's Baby Josh

This is my cute baby nephew Josh and his mommy at his fullmoon dinner last Saturday. Born at only 8 months old, he weighed only a mere 2 kg at birth but has grown so much since I last saw him at 3 days old. He was born via an emergency c-section because he was kind of under stress in his mommy's womb. He's sure a survivor, not having to stay in an...

Monex my BFF!

My aunt was just telling me the other day that for her daughter's wedding, she'll just give her a big ang pow (monetary gift) for her wedding, in which I reply, "you shouldn't". I know it's really not my say, a mom can give whatever to her daughter and of course I have no say. Instead I suggested that my aunt should buy gold accessories for her daughter, be it a gold chain, a bangle or even a pair of diamond studded earring. At least her daughter will have a valuable keepsake from her mother, a keepsake I'm sure she'll treasure many years down...

Bored as I am

I'm so looking forward to the weekend. No waking up early, chauffeuring my son to school, sleep in late, go shopping and go eat out. I'm so sick of staying at home, I'm stuck at home with no car, no bicycle, and with a motorbike which I have no license to ride. I so need to get out there to just to let my skin breathe, let my eyes roam and let my legs walk a mile in the mall. Can't wait for Frid...

Not just a glass of cold drink

One day, when I was at my sister's house, I asked for a glass of icy cold water, and she, surprised as she looks, said a pregnant woman should never take cold drinks. I was like "huh, seriously?" I find myself so loving ice water ever since I got pregnant. And to say that, I've been drinking more ice water for the past three months than perhaps the entire year combined. Well well, how true is it that pregnant woman is forbidden to drink cold water? I really don't know. Maybe this is just another Chinese old wives tale.Anyway, just want to share...
