Less than a month....

A very good friend Joanne (piggie) fm Singapore visited us ... We had a great time ... Two dinners and one brunch ... We wish we had more time .. She's another happy angel in our lives .. Simon and I really like her a lot.. She makes you laugh and happy all the time , we'll miss ya .. See u soon :) thanks for the pressie :)







Had a very special dinner at Gold Coast Teppanyaki at Benihana to celebrate fathers in law birthday .. Food was yummy and very FULL!!!




All about eating now... Last month I kinda can eat anything... Of course still no sashimi and oysters ... But had really great time hang out with close friends...The Cube Hot Pot and Moo Moo...










Received another Parcel from Mum... Pressie bought from Ping and Dai Gor has arrived ... Sooo happy :)




Again.. Baby is being loved... I had been receiving pressie from work as well .. Thanks Lynn and Claire...






How do I look like now ??!!
Simon is a very good photographer.. I look very Slim!!! Haha not in real life...








How's Simon doing???
He actually injured his knee (old injury) and had skin allergic to it .. Poor him... But he is fine :) seeing physio and acupuncture at the same time...









How does BB going ??
She is healthy ... Doctor is happy with her "performance" ... Just have to wait for her arrival .. She is in good position .. Enough fluid... Good size.. Everything is GOOD!!!! That's why we love you so much ....
Your bed and changing table is ready to go :)





Today is actually my official last day at work ... Mixed feeling .. Gonna be a full time wife and mum to be... Excited n nervous..
Had a lovely lunch with colleagues .. Thanks you all !!!









Actually I think I have more to write ... Will try and update more frequent since I no longer need to work .... But trying to sleep as much as I can before BB arrives....

Nice weekend..

Thursday nite - Simon had to attend a meeting at the Aust Post Delivery Centre ... Soooo interesting when we went there... Just like Santa is trying to sort presents for the whole world :)



Friday nite- Simon went to watch saw 3D with kitty n felix...even I really wanted to watch... But I can't !! After being with Simon ... I have accompanied him to watch the whole series of SAW.. And now the ending is out ... But I can't see .. How disappointing !! But Simon said it wasn't that good.. So I feel a bit better ...



Sat - went to pramwarehouse and bought two things for BB .. Her bath and change table and an extra mattress for her bassinet...then dinner with Zoe n Jacky.. I wish I can eat the things below soooooonnnnnn......


Sun- finally Sea World .. We had this free tickets since last year December and always wanted to find an opportunity to go... Just happened to be some excuse and we kept on postpone the trip ... Finally .. We are here @ sea world :) possibly would be the last one day trip to Gold Coast before BB born .... Thanks Simon .. We watched all the shows and kinda walked through the whole park .. Very tired :) we both admit we no longer teenagers .... @.@

Counting down..

Not long to go now... I am now in week 33.. Everyone says my tummy doesn't look like week 33.. Wonder it's a good thing or not ...

Baby has been moving vigorously .. Unbelievable constant moving... I am a bit worried that she might wanna come out early which I am not prepared !!!! At the same time I really like the fact she does move as I know she is active inside ... For record .. I have gained 4kg from week 20 to week 30 ... Not bad not bad :)



@home .. I sleep pretty early now ... Just very tired .. Haven't really packed the "emergency bag" as yet .. I know I know I should.... Just lazy and ignoring the fact that she might really come early... We have picked all the clothes that we need for washing as baby clothes have to wash separately.... Will need to clean up the house as well.. Mum should be arriving on the 11th... Can't wait for cookings :) and thanks for her present for BB :) technically I don't have to buy clothes for BB....


@work... I do feel a bit tired after lunch... Not enough oxygen in the Brain I suppose ... Also I am a bit sad... Why !??? Becoz' after around 10ish working days .. I will begin my ONE year maternity leave ... I know I am crazy but since high school I have been working part time/full time.... I haven't tried "not" working for such a long time... I know taking care of the baby will be even tougher ... But its different.. I just like working environment I suppose ...colleagues have been supportive and nice ... I am gonna miss them for sure..


@life...people kept telling me Christmas coming ... Reminding me when's my baby coming ... Again I try not to think too much... But actually we have been thinking a lot ... Natural or Cs birth... Whether we should buy A pillow for BB or not etc... Lots of ??? floating in our minds and time seems running out ...

I made a change ... Had a hair cut and I am pretty sure this is the shortest haircut I ever had in Brisbane... Love it...
Sister in law is organising a baby shower for me... How nice !!!


Others: Mao Mao's bday celebration ... And we realize during Christmas Mao Mao and Wileen and William is heading back HK.....they will have to visit BB after they come back la :)

Happy Anniversary 10272010

This year's celebration is special to both of us... Three years ago we decided to get married... This year we are going to be "Parents" !!! What a change !! Time definitely 'flies' but Simon and I are enjoying it day by day :)

Morning time I cooked breaky... Nothing special ... Yummy indeed



Lunch we went to Mount Cootha Summit Restaurant as Sis in law bought these 2 for 1 voucher deal... Thanks Karen .. The food was really good and of course we enjoyed the environment as well :)



Then we went to the Sir Thomas Brisbane planetarium at Mt
Coot-tha...watched the Cosmic Collisions in the skydome :) Simon was way too comfortable and slept during the show + snore ...@.@



Dinner time we went to SouthBank- Nice authentic Jap food and scary Wheel of Brisbane ride.. Not sure if it's becoz of my pregnancy .. I was a bit panic up there... But we both enjoyed our relaxing and romantic day off and that's the most important thing... Many years to come :)






Btw.. Simon wrote his first entry in this blog this year!! So touched and happy ... Love u always :)

Pre-natal classes...

Attended our first prenatal class !!! It was great ... We had a better understanding of what we are
going to expect :)
There is a lady in the class while she is already week 36!!! She is totally not worried at all... I wish I am too ....



Starting from week 30.. We have to visit the doctor per fortnight ...
We said to our baby ... She might consider being a Gynaecologist since they earn a LOT!!! Hahaha ... We said Hi to our Baby again as my big brother in US wanna see her ....




Apparently she is facing us and wanna say HI :)
Last weekend, we started to unpack everything just to make sure they are right to go... Unfortunately the change table needs to be returned ... Bad quality ....







Btw ... We say this rocking chair ... Very comfortable ... Good for breast feeding I think :)




My baby is moving like she is dancing all the time !!! I am trying to video the best one and post it up ... Still waiting for her masterpiece ...

Carmen :)

P.s thanks for all the lovely comments yesterday ... We had a great anniversary celebration .. Will mention in the next entry :)

...三年...又三年...

.....老婆今朝你問我，記唔記三年前嘅呢一刻我有幾開心，我當然記得。
可能唔係每一個細節，但係我可以話係我人生之中笑得最多最真嘅一日。結婚可能對好多人嚟講係一個恐懼，束縛，又或者係強迫，但係對我而言，係我人生之中，係最開心，最幸福。當然結婚一梗係有壓力，你要同你身邊呢個人一生一世，每朝，每晚你都會對住呢個人，每去一個地方你又要話佢知，每做一件事你又要同佢商量，不過對我嚟講，呢D全部都唔係問題，因為....老婆....我永遠都記得呢一首歌，係你教識我.....『有了你開心D ，乜都稱心滿意，鹹魚白菜也好好味，我與你永共聚，分分鐘需要你，你似是陽光空氣』......
三年後嘅今日，我同你都經歷咗好多，大家一齊成長，轉變，更加有默契，更加識得去體諒同照顧對方，最重要嘅係，我同你一齊期待同一樣野，我哋嘅BB.... 日後可能仲會有好多好多開心或者艱難嘅日子，但係我知道，總之有你同我一齊，所有野都唔會再係問題..... ^_~
Happy Anniversary!!!!

Simon ^_~

p.s I spent more than an hour on this entry !!!! LOL!!!

We Love you BABY..

haven't been updating for quite some time...my bad...
weather in brisbane has been pretty dull...makes me wanna sleep all the time......
WHERE should I start??!!
We bought the most expensive gift for our baby (up till now)...the "PRAM"...
We have chosen Chicco Travel System...and that's our choice...we simply just like the idea :)


Baby received a surprise pressie @ work...Thanks...Handmade Teddy Bear and baby sets...sooo cute!


As mentioned on FB, thanks to Simon, I am officially an iphone4 user....assuming the quality of photos I am uploading here should be better than before. Thanks hubby...


Visited Valeria one nite...she's so gorgeous and funny fact is she doesn't like "boys" to carry her..but Simon managed to carry her..how cute they are...


Another present from "Auntie Wileen" .....a very special CD that can make baby dun cry...and a bento with Baby clothes....sooooo thoughtful... We do play the CD in our car whenever baby moves vigorously! I have been taking videos of my tummy movement...however it's not that obvious...oh well...I will show it to the baby when she grows up...





Celebrated Zoe Bday one night, I finally feel myself as being a bit "FAT"...haha...coz' my weight hasn't been changing and therefore I have been wondering why and worried Baby is not growing...but now...obviously my weight has been increasing....coz' my tummy is getting bigger and bigger....



Did a 2nd Glucose test yesterday...visiting the doctor coming Thursday...hopefully everything will be fine..



Summary of 2 weeks feeling:
We can feel the baby moving more and more....we can feel the baby will be coming out to meet us very soon...we can feel how exciting we are ......



We can see how my tummy is getting bigger and bigger....we can see how many baby stuff we are accumulating...and we can see how much money we are spending...
Personally....my mood has been changing a bit...my appetite has been changing...enjoying a bit more spicy food but I dun think Baby likes it...
I am having a bit more stomach and back ache....my leg cramps during midnight...I have been a bit worried if the Baby wants to come out and see us earlier....
We starting to think Baby might not be a girl....coz' another patient had a boy instead of girl AGAIN....and all the stuff that we planned to buy with particular color...it all turned out to be BLUE/GREY...not the initial color that we want....but we still talk to Baby every day...no matter she is girl or he is a boy...baby knows how much we love "YOU"
