I am so happy today... Niko is here. Our plan for today is
- go market buy vege and meat for this evening gathering at Teo Leng's place
- go to prenatal class at AMK hub
- go to Teo Leng's place for gathering

We then went to Rivervale Plaza straight from airport to buy vege and meat. We had Mc D breakfast there.


We went to AMK hub to have lunch first at Ajisen Ramen. Surprisingly the Ajisen Ramen there was not to nice compare to other branches. I didn't have appetite that day and I was not in a good mood.


This session of prenatal class was quite useful. This was about how to bath the baby, swaddle baby, put diaper, and to burp baby. We did it with a doll. I choose baby boy doll. It got penis at the genital area. Niko was still playing with the doll, but I was not in the mood to joke. I didn't know why I was in the bad mood.

We went home and I had a nap. Niko cooked for his gathering. He cooked a chunk of pork bay leave and vinegar.

When I was sleeping I felt that something poped in my uterus followed by a kick from my baby. I quickly woke up and stand to check my underwear. When I opened, it was nothing. But then the water dripped on the flow through my thighs. The water was pink color. It was my water bag leaked.


Niko made one call to KKH hotline. The nurse said we need to go hospital directly to delivery suite. We then quickly packed our hospital bag. But in that kind of moment, he still insisted to go deliver the meat to Teo Leng's house. WTF!!! Luckily I didn't have contraction that moment.

We then reached hospital, they put me under hi-risk case. I worry that time I wouldn't go home with the baby.

My Valentine's Day 2014

I had a very memorable valentine's day this year. I actually planned to follow my colleagues to go eat outside but somehow I felt tired as my baby kicking and stretching in my womb. So then I decided not to go and just went home. I had western food alone in block 205 coffee shop. I ordered half spring chicken and ice lemon tea which I felt not bad. I just enjoyed my dinner slowly alone.



After dinner, somehow I didn't know why I researched on mucus plug while waiting for water heater. While I took bath, I saw something dropped on the floor. It was exactly like mucus plug. I quickly run outside without drying my body to get my phone and to take pic of that thing.



I sent that pic to my mother in law and sent it also to Niko as he almost boarded the plane coming back to Singapore from Beijing. I thought I still have 2 weeks. I actually would inform my team leader in monday that my mucus plug has gone.

Anyway I just slept because I wanted tomorrow to come faster. Morning on 6am I rushed to go airport to pick Niko up. I was so happy he came back.

Pregnancy Week 34

We went to KKH this morning for routine check up. The doctor said my baby is engaged already. His head is already at the bottom. His weight now is 2.9kg. He advised me not to eat to much. I didn't actually.



The usg photo is getting unclear what the picture is about.

After that, we went to MC.D to have light breakfast $2 pancake. 2 pieces for each to keep our stomach filled. Then continue our visit to admission center. We actually just at the right time as the officer said latest by next visit we must fill the form.

We choose ward A1, single occupancy while the charges for the room will be based on my status as permanent resident. The baby charges will follow father's status as resident. Actually, after comparing the price since we are taking ward A1, there's no difference between resident and permanent resident. The difference starts from ward B1.

While for baby, the charges for A1 is the same between resident and permanent resident (for nursery and other complication case). For B1 class, charges for nursery is the same as A1. Complication case will be different between resident and permanent resident.

In case I have the sign of labor, what I need to bring for admission is NIRC, appoinment booklet, NIRC of husband, and initial payment. I can immediately go to Delivery suite level 2, women's tower.

For my hospital bag, I need to bring pyjamas (I actually don't have), undergarments, slippers, bath towel, tootbrush, tootpaste, comb, soap, and shampoo. For baby we need to prepare 2 baby vests, 2 pair mittens and booties, 2 wrapping blankets.

Remembering the doctor said the head is engaged already, I recently have been feeling my pelvic muscles are stretch then the movement of my baby getting lesser. He tend to wiggle instead of kicking like months ago. The movement is getting more frequent even though it's not a obvious movement.

I only want to have smooth delivery on the day. I hope he is not suffering from jaundice also when he is out.

Pregnancy Week 33

I have been chasing Niko to take some photos before I give birth. I think it would be so nice remembering our first boy still inside my tummy.





We took the picture inside our bedroom with NEX-5R. The result was quite good in contrast black and white. I compare with the colored version, my tummy looks bigger in color photos.

Medz, Millenia Walk

I had gathering few weeks back with Jenny, Deepshi, and Leedy. I actually had instant noodle before I went there because I was so hungry and there's no breakfast.

I ordered mango crepes. It was cheap $6.90. But what I don't like about Medz is they earn too much money on the drinks. I wanted to order mineral water, but they only have EVIAN.

I decided to have hot tea. The cheapest drink among all. Total I paid around $11.50.

CNY Food 2014

Niko has been improving quite a lot after he has done with his MBA course. As a result, we always eat at home. This is the perfect time for him to show off during CNY period as not so many places open.

Here are the dishes he has prepared :

Bear's paw tofu


Kwo Tie


Lu Rou Fan


Sea bass steam fish with ginger


Firm tofu with green bell pepper


Sour soup with mushroom


Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs


Spicy tofu with bell pepper and celery


Cucumber with mushroom

Lady M, Marina Square

I had been waiting for the opportunity to taste Lady M matcha mille crepes. This time has come one day when we had gathering. Jenny, Deepshi, Leedy and I went to have lunch at Medz Millenia Walk. After that we went separate ways. Before going back, I bought 2 pieces of the cake I have been longing.

The showcase never show the price. So I took 2 pieces, thinking that may be 1 piece was around $7.50.

I got shock at the cashier when she said total was $18.90. WTF!

I think the taste of the matcha mille crepes was ok only for extravagant price I have paid.



I don't think I will come back to buy some cakes here. It's just too expensive for me.

Nana's Green Tea @ Plaza Singapura

Somehow the last working day before CNY 2014, Melia wanted to accompany me lunch. She never have lunch. Now she wants to have lunch? This must not be missed.

So I straight away agreed to go lunch with her. Then I chose Nana's Green Tea and she agreed. We knocked off from office 1pm sharp. :D



These are we ordered. Teriyaki burger, Locomoko burger, and 2 green tea latte with ice cream. Shooook!!! The teriyaki burger was tasty. My locomoko burger was ok, it's like burger covered by tomato sauce. Actually we wanted to ordered Chicken katsu rice, but they said no curry for today lunch. :(

I felt really full, overly full to be precise. I think it was because the drink was mixed with ice cream so it was damn thick. The rice is also japanese rice which is more dense.

Total our bill was $38.25. I felt satisfied with the green tea latte. Next time I will not finish the rice. OMG, it's too much.

Down Feather Jacket from TaoBao

Niko bought a down feather jacket for me last year from TaoBao. It's cheap compare if we bought in Singapore.

Even we have ordered L size, unfortunately I couldn't fit into it.

The jacket had been sitting on my closet for 1 year. He said later he will sell it. Till today morning it was still there.
I decided to take its pictures and posted in gumtree website for $15.00

Not even 3 hours, I managed to find buyer. He was an old man with white hair. He picked the jacket punctually on 3pm as agreed on sms. He didn't even look what inside the plastic bag.
He sure gonna sell it again because it's still new with tag. Bye bye my jacket even though I never wear you once.
