After thinking a long time, finally decided to buy the 10.1 as a present for myself

Android is not so hard to use after all!  And customisation is best! And widgets!

Maybe I will change my mobile to Android too :p

We had shipped in a Baby Monitor from US too…after a round of research done by dear hubby.

The cost is definitely much cheaper than buying the same one in Singapore..and it became very helpful as we do not need to keep peeping from the door to check whether Eva had woke from her sleep..

We rented our Kua from House of Etiquette for our wedding and they included our testimonials in their website~

And the place for the dinner?  The place which both of us enjoy…alot.  This time we went to the one @ Holland Village.

Dear chose the Sakura Set…it’s going to hurt the pocket, but I know he wants the best for me.  That’s how sweet he is.

The Kim-Chee.  Quite nice even though I am not a Kim Chee person.

Our salad that comes with mushroom and fried garlic.  Yummy!

The Aburi Bacon before they were cooked:

The meat : (from top left to the right) Wagyu Karubi, Pork Belly (changed from Duck Breast), Wagyu Fillet Steak, Wagyu Rump Cap & Pork Collar.

The Ishiyaki Mentaiko :

Cooking the meat…

And I am a fortunate woman because he always cook for me. :-p

My plate of yummy meat with the sauces.  We both like the sweet sauce than the spicy one.

And the very sinful bacon…

Assorted Mushroom…should have changed to fresh Shitake mushroom though.  The ones grilled by hubby are the best!

The Gindara Miso Grill…very fresh fish but the miso is too salt.

The Dessert menu..we usually do not look through it as there’s only one item we both like….

The Milk Pudding!

A very peaceful dinner, accompany by good service from the restaurant.  Had been to the branches in Chimjes and United Square, I kind of love the setting in Holland Village more than other branches.

With no agenda in mind, we took a walk around Holland Village and decided to go to MBS since both of us had not been to the bridge before.

The night scene is nice indeed.  I wonder how many Singaporeans appreciate this? When we went overseas, we will exclaim at the sight of those places, but some places have the same kind of night scene as what we have here in Singapore.

The Helix Bridge at night..

Quite a few of tourists were taking photos and we thought it be nice to have some photos too!

Dear is an expert in this after his training in Japan

And of ‘cos he also thinks that he’s the King and hence there’s a crown on his head…

We also managed to catch the Light & Water show (Wonder Full).  As this was the first time both of us came into the MBS shopping area, we didn’t know where is the Event Plaza…we just walked towards to where the music came from.

Very amazing event, given that it’s free.

I was very amazed by the “Towers” at the 2 sides of the gallery.  It can emit different kinds & colour of lights,  dry ice effect and even bubbles! All these from each tower! Amazing!

Will probably bring Dawn to view this next time!

Quite a bit of changes we have to face ever since that day, but I am glad that we are each other’s pillar.  Pillar of strength, Pillar of courage; the pillar we hoped that we had made strong foundations on and ever since been relying on that pillar.

Though it’s only a year, or 365 days, but that’s 8760 hours or 525600 minutes, it’s still amazing and wonderful issn’t?

I say this many times to you, but I want to say it again.  You are my best friend, my soul-mate and my loving hubby.  I will be counting the years together with you and don’t forget the promises we have made. Though I am not looking forward to growing old (at all), but I do look forward to that trips that you said you will accompany me to.

Love you baby! :*~~

And,

Happy Anniversary!

This was taken on 2i May 11 — 3 and a half packets of expressed milk + 2 bottles of ready-feed inside the fridge.

Today, it’s 5 packets of expressed milk plus 6 bottles of ready-feed inside the fridge.

I am only human…I don’t quite like the inconvenience that had caused me – must watch diet, must watch the time (to pump), must spend 1o mins to wipe the bottles & pump dry to prepare for feeds, must bring the pump and Fridge-to-go along for long away-from-home trips, must warm the milk when Eva is crying loudly for milk, must watch for leaking breasts, etc etc…

But I know the importance of breast milk for babies.  And of course the $$ that we can save on.

I have since reduce the number of pumps I do each day, to get ready to go back to work. But I am in such dilemma sometimes.  I have quite  a good supply this time (as compared to Dawn’s time), but yet I can’t reach an agreement with the inconvenience that was caused.  Haiz…

For now, I just express whatever there is and until the time the body tell itself to stop producing…

And so ever since, we have to ensure that we celebrate both birthdays

This year it’s easier for us because it’s also public holiday.  And so we have lunch celebration for my mom and dinner celebration for my mother-in-law.

Dawn made birthday cards for her PohPoh (my mom) and Nai Nai (my mother-in-law)! She was excited and couldn’t keep it as a secret to Nai Nai.  :D

I realised we have really came a long way, it’s amazing to see Dawn who can’t write or draw (when she’s a baby), and now she can draw human (her imagination is good!) and write her own name. I love her soooo much!

We had lunch at home because mum think it’s easier for us since Eva is still so young.  I love my mom! She’s always so thoughtful

Here’s mom’s signature dumplings, big and fat with lots of fillings!

My mom’s Kong Ba…slurp!

Table full of food!! Sis bought crabs over, too bad I am still breastfeeding and decided not to over eat and cause Eva to have allergy..

Birthday cake which my sis bought over, pretty!

I didn’t manage to take photos for the dinner because Eva was a handful..

But anyways, Happy Birthday to the 2 mothers!

The always welcomed Gyu Kaku dinner…where we will enjoyed the meat with the beer.  It was 9 months since I have that beer, he acknowledged that he miss the company..hang on there baby, soon soon

The hearty breakfast or teatime in Starbucks….oh, how I love the food, the coffee and the talks that we can engaged in.

Even though we may prefer different things at times, we still can enjoy together…like we picked these drinks from a supermarket and we simply love the moments where we each enjoyed our drinks together.

Very blissful, very indeed

Tired, easily strained legs, sleepy, heartburn, is the things that I experience almost any other days.

But I am still very happy …..

…. With the little one actively kicking inside, sometimes playing hide and seek, sometimes playing Gotcha, sometimes playing boxing, it’s really a joy and an emotion which is hard to describe. She reacts to her daddy’s touch, reacts to mummy’s voice, reacts to sister’s laughter…it’s just so amazing that this little one with age 0 knows how to appreciate the simple things in life.

…. With my loving hubby, who takes care of me, who made me felt very adored and loved.  He bought me concentrated bird nests which I will never bear to spend on myself, never once complain my changing body which I felt sometimes ugly (because the eczema and pimples keep coming back to my face, hands and legs), takes care of the active 4 year old. What more can I ask for?

….. With my little Dawn, who just turned 4 year old.  Her progression lately has been tremendous and the words she spoke sometimes can make me fell off the chair.  Sometimes I do felt a little distanced from her because due to my tummy and tiredness, she now tends to look for Daddy for playing time rather than me…but I am glad because the bond which she is building with daddy now is something I hope it will stay in her mind forever.

…. With my family. Mum will prepare bird nests and soup for me when I made that weekly visits, Dad will ask how’s the junior and this kind of concern is something which we seldom will feel from the manly figure. My in-laws had took care of me well and I felt really blessed to have such in-laws. And I already have clothes bought by the sisters for the junior one.

With 10 more weeks to go, there’s still alot of things which we have not done…junior clothes are not washed, hospital bag not packed, cot not delivered here…ahhhhhh! I better stop procrastinating!

Had an operation to remove 3 nerve tumours, Dawn went to full-day child care, Dawn turned 3 years old and had a Barneyly birthday at home and in school.

We went to fly kites for the 1st time, got my 1st Mother’s Day card from Dawn, my laptop gave way and had a new hard disk exchanged.

The boss who recruited me left, had a new boss, a busy work year, a more than usual change of colleagues for the year, had some awful time at work and with the new boss.

Had a wonderful wedding with good memories, have a loving husband and very good in-laws and family, shifted to a totally new environment and loving the convenience.

Went to Perak for the 1st time, took night coach for the 1st time :p

Got blessed with Junior 2, had terrible months in August/September due to the all-day sickness, had the most numbers of hospitalisation leave clocked throughout my life.

Bought many toys for Dawn, witness the growth of Dawn, Dawn went to the beach for the 1st time, Brought Dawn to her 1st movie experience, Went for Dawn’s 1st concert, brought her to free shows at the malls for the 1st time.

Had a short but good getaway to Batam, seeing more light with the official legal papers, and BOUGHT our own roof which will be ready in 3 years time!

Went to eat at many places, such as Ambush, Boulangerie Cafe, Hyang To Gol Korean Restaurant, L’Espresso, Prego, Ootoya etc!

Wow! I think still miss out quite a lot, but can’t remember for now.  I think blogging and facebook status can really help one to look back.  So I shall continue to blog!

Good news is, we are expecting to see our “Junior 2nd” in Apr next year! And that explains my MIA, and my condition.

Nothing else to describe but only – BAD.  Bad morning ALL DAY sickness, bad headaches, bad fainting spells, bad insomnia. It’s just bad.

Oh ya, and bad sensitive nose that makes me start puking almost everytime..and that includes the cooking smell, the western food smell, the bad breath, fish smell etc.

I was admitted to Mt A for a 36 hours drip during my 8th week due to non-stop vomiting (yah, the green gastric juice and the yellow bile juice plus some blood stains joined in the fun).  Just Bad.

And of ‘cos my hubby had some non-peaceful moments with his ears because of my constant whining, crying and complaining :p

Thankfully I am better now, the ALL DAY sickness started to take a vacation on some days and return on other days.  Even though I wished they never return to find me, but having them taking a vacation is better than hosting them every single day.

And I missed food! It’s so much different from Dawn’s time, where I have no craving when having the morning sickness. This time, I craved for food! Miserable issn’t? Craved for food but yet cannot eat them because of their taste or smell.

I missed the Egg Pratas…

And the hot curry..

And Laksa!

And fries with MEAT and more meat!

And BBQ Meat, Long John Silver, KFC, and the list went on and on…

I better watch my weight when my appetite improves
