Love is all around

My tummy is now Little ms Obvious...coz' everyone can really tell I am pregnant...I started to wobble while walking at work....it looks a bit hilarous though...but of course I am enjoying it..



Lately it has been raining in Brissy...the speed that I walk is like I am performing a role in Matrix...super super slow..as I am soooo scared I would fall down....Simon didn't really want me to take bus after work..but then I thought...I can't avoid walking just because it's raining...so I decided to walk in slow motion all the time...




Love is all around...Last week was super busy as our good friend - Andy has proposed to his girlfriend Ice, who is now his finacee...we went to Strawberry Farm and we had a lot of fun..






50 flowers...tons of strawberries...big and small "Will you marry me?" banner...most important thing...strawberry ice cream and the big "rock" of course... Happy for you two ....Congratulations!!! Happy that my baby witness the day as well...


Yesterday Winnie (a friend from HK) arrived Brisbane...once again...our baby girl is very lucky..as we asked Winnie and June to pre-buy a lot of "stuff" for her... Must say..lucky I am not in Hong Kong, otherwise I will be broke...coz' they are all soooo cute and cheap :)



Simon loves the pre-natal Support Belt...fits perfectly...wahahahahah!!

BB Funding...

We have been thinking lately how to earn a bit more...Gold Lotto? Casino?....not too reliable hey...
Hence...I started my ebay again...and Simon started selling some iphone gagets at Post Office...to test the water.... :)

Also...we have our Piggy Bank....before..it was our holiday funding...whenever it's full...it means it's about time for us to go somewhere for a short trip...usually Sydney or Melbourne..but now...it's all going to our BB funding....every time, there is about 1 thousands dollars...not too bad....



Baby received a very precious present from the Pang's .....Thank you...we actually got the idea from the Chan's, they bought the same for their daughter and now we have the same :)


It's has gental swinging function, reclining backrest, high ventilation seat cushion...
It's gonna be BB's favourite high chair till 4 yrs old...We hope..

Baby also received some precious gifts from Uncle Adrian and Auntie Ping...my beloved Dai Gor...they have bought these lovely clothes for BB....soooooo CUTE!!!! Thank you....
Baby is being spoiled already!!!



Took this photo tonight....my tummy!!!!!

Baby's Growing...

Well...I guess I will blame baby...I have been really sleepy lately...not only me but Simon as well...both of us go to bed at approx 8:30pm...
can't believe how tried we are....no particular reasons...we just enjoyed sleeping...zzz...zzz

My sleeping habit is changing day by day...basically there are 3 types..
1) Facing twds Simon- which is facing LEFT (apparently is the recommended way for pregnant women)
2) Facing the Ceiling - which is my favourite (but apparently not good for pregnant women as I am putting too much pressure on my back bones)
3) Facing the Wall - facing RIGHT (oh well...it makes me uncomfortable..so...dun really choose this way)
As the tummy is getting bigger and bigger...I realise baby likes to sleep with position 1 first...but in the morning when I wake up..I realise I am already in position 2...
Baby moves A LOT while I lie down lately...and I will be yelling "SIMON SIMON...COME AND SEE..BABY'S MOVING"....so cute...We can see the tummy skin is moving...sometimes like a wave, sometimes like a beat box speaker...haha...very interesting and we are loving every moment....Time flies...baby is already 25 weeks old.....3 more months to go....

Last Week Summary...
8/9 Wed - Simon went for a massage and I went for a facial...haven't had facial for such a long time...so relaxing....then dinner with Karen at Hakataya Noodle in Sunnybank..not bad at all :)



9/9 Thur - Dinner with Jacky, Zoe and Aiden at Sunnybank Hotel.... Go www.hotdockets.com to get $5 for an extra meal coupon...Aiden was dancing with Lady Gaga song...very cute...


10/9 Fri - Simon need to stay at Post Office to fix the carpets...so I had a special night with my dear friends again...Korean BBQ with Kitty, Wileen, William, Felix and Leo...






then coffee drink at Milton afterwards...tired but enjoyed...
Also...interesting thing was I spent 1.5 hrs at borders after work as I needed to kill time and I kinda finish the book "Pregnancy Day by Day"....totally overwhelmed!!!! The pictures were soooooo "real"....they even have the giving birth photo!!!! @.@ I know I would need to face it someday...and now I have a "brief" idea...I guess...




Dai Gor and Anthea complained me NOT updating the blog...Aiya...sometimes there's not much to say mah...haha...no la..I am lazy...I admit...will try to keep it up~! Miss u2.....

Lazy mummy n daddy

Friday night went to Ember to celebrate Father's day ...
I really miss eating Oyster !!!!!




Saturday morning went to Moggill market with Karen ... Had German sausage for breakky ... Very nice






Lookout!!! There's a pig doing nothing at the back.. So cute

After work... I suddenly have craving to eat 籮百糕... Eventually ate the following instead ... All by myself




After that....Simon had a haircut and before our dinner... We were lucky enough to see the Riverfire




Had a sweet n funny dinner with Kitty, Ha, Mao n Leo ....



Love this photo.... So stylish !!



Sunday ... We both Did nothing but resting .... Soooooo relaxed with our Baby......

Carmen :)

New habits

New habit: listening to Baby Einstein and Mozart music while traveling to and after work... I decided to take the normal train instead of express ... As baby and I can listen to the soothing music longer .... I am not sure how true these type of music is good for baby... But it makes me feel relaxed and happy (again thanks to Zoe and Jacky as they gave me these music )



My eating habits seems to be changing again ... I like to eat chicken recently ... Taste bug changes everyday ... Interesting last nite wanted to eat 海蜇同鴨舌...



Love the weather in Brisbane now... Not too cold not too hot.... Just "nice" weather .... I have been missing Hong Kong ... I miss my friends and family... I wonder when will I be able to go back with my baby

I love TV

Day 2: decided to spend some quality time with Simon... So I went to Post office with him... All I did was watching TV...
Simon on and off will say 'LP... Stand up... U've been sitting down too long !'
I then realize I have been kissing the monitor too long hahah
Lately I am addicted to this Chinese TV series ... It's related to Public Relation Industry I always wanted to work in a PR firm ... But I guess It's just not in this century.... Oh well... I have had a Lot of chances given... I am satisfied with what I have


Every morning when I wake up ... I will kiss Simon and he will kiss me and baby back... He said this morning ' your tummy is bigger and your butt too' !!!! Oooooohhhh Nooooo my BUTT is bigger !!! It's already very big anyways... I really can feel the size of my belly..... I will tell myself to be as careful as possible... I am way too clumsy .... I know myself too well

Two rest days...

Had two rest days....so relaxing...

1st day ... Stayed at home.. Cooked breakfast ... Suddenly wanted to eat 蠔油撈麵 ...so just googled and try try la... Not bad not bad...



I cleared 27GB space of hard drive in Simon's pc.. Burned all the photos on DVD for back up.... Cleared all the SD cards memory.. Feel so good

I realized one thing for sure is whenever I am sitting in front of computer too long... Baby will start kicking me ... I wonder if she is excited what i am watching or dislike the position I sit...

Baby moves in a pattern now... Usually at 11:00 am ... She will move a bit and tell me she is hungry... And about 4:00pm she will move even more.... Which I believe it's because she knows we are going to see Daddy... Well that's the time I finish work ... So maybe she is happy too ... Haha...

P.s have to clarify ... My big brother actually calls me every week ....instead of what i said 2 to 3 weeks .... Sorry Dai Gor ... love you!!
