Baby's moving ....

Baby has been moving quite a bit lately... The feeling is a bit hard to describe.... Sometimes it feels like the baby pinched u, poked u, scratched u.. Haha very interesting feeling ... Ppl said it should feel like butterfly flying in the stomach ... I am not sure with my senses anymore ...seems like someone playing piano...Happy feeling for sure!!

Anyway lately I realize when ever Simon drives...and if the road is bumpy... Baby will have the same effect afterwards...

Baby seems like dancing really really fast in my stomach ...
Very funny feeling I must say..

maybe the word 'fluttering' suits the meaning....
Simon has been able to feel baby's little movement at night and Karen encountered the first baby fluttering feeling last night ....I am sure as time goes by... Baby will be more and more active and all my friends will be able to feel it...can't wait!

I am very careful with every step I walk ... Every door I pass... As I know my precious baby is with me and with my clumsiness ... I should be more alert with my daily 'movements' haha

Last night we went Cyber City for dinner :) Cyber City is actually the first place where Simon and I met....

Blood tests

I don't like blood tests...
unfortunately I have to do it pretty often with my medical conditions ... Today I have to do this GTT ... Glucose test ... Blood test first then drink a bottle of Glucose drink (taste like lemonlade) wait for TWO hours then another blood test ....
Sigh .... Time is running so slow and baby and I are starving ... Coz' I needed to fast before mas well ....

Living in Brisbane is a lot different....the main entertainment for us is 'Dinner with Friends' (sounds lame isn't it) but what else can we do?? We went to 上海狂抄.. Not too bad .. I wanted to eat 小籠包!
We love spending time with our close friends... especially with 'Them'...Leo said he favorite is 豆辦醬...

Our precious Megan...

We had dinner with Megan and Chris last night at the Sunnybank Hotel... The steak was yummy...and we had dessert 雅滋甜品 at the new shop in plaza ... Not as expected but better than nothing i guess...

Megan is a very special gal to me and Simon... Her smile brightens your day... Her voice makes u laugh.. Her silliness makes your day !!!
M: oh jei jei 姐姐... Be careful ... I will lift that box... (the box is not heavy at all )
M: oh jei jei 姐姐... Be careful.. There is car coming .. ( the car is couple meters away)
M: I can't eat while driving as u are a very precious cargo ... (even if I feed her)
M: U are so adorable ... U are so cute jei jei :) (even I dun think so.. Cute doesn't really match me)

She says these lovely things that just melt in your heart...
We both hope our baby's heart will be just like Megan's little angel heart :) also if our baby likes studying just as Megan that would be good ... Hahaha

She is also a little hard working bird at our post office :)

A few things that happen in July

I have been a bit lazy, haven't really write anything for almost a month. But to start off I want to say congratulation to my cousin Jacky & Zoe, and the newly born Aiden, and I am Uncle Simon, feel soooo old..... haha. Me & Carmen had watched a few movies this month, like You Don't Mess With The Zohan, Hancock, Get Smart. I actually think all three of them are pretty good. A new Karaoke open in Chinatown, BennyK is the organiser, so we went for testing one night & sang for about 4 hours with Tony & Jenny. A few friends have problem with their relationship, hopefully there can sort things out quickly. That's about all the things happen up till now.......
