Karen & WH's Wedding & ROM

Peter & I were late for the wedding dinner last night. Unfortunately, we were stuck in a jam due to the police diverted traffic from Kelawai Road to Gurney Drive (I assume because of the Wesak Day Procession).

We arrived just right after the bridge & groom march! Tee hee!

I was hungry and was glad that dinner was served even before my seat was warm. I ate quite a lot.
I must say that Starview's food that night was so-so only. Portions were also not big, just OK. Maybe because I had high expectation of Starview. I mean, people always say Starview's food is fabulous and I think the price is not cheap either. I find CRC Restaurant serve better wedding dinner-style food and much bigger portions.

Anyway, the company was great!
It is the 1st time after so long that the whole gang managed to get together for one of the wedding.

(pls pardon the blur pic....blame it on the waiter who was the camera man)

All of us had a good time juz chatting and laughing and eating.

And oh yeah....Karen looks great that night. And that was probably the 5th time I saw WH! :)

And to my horror, we were stuck in the jam again on our way back home from the dinner. Apparently, there was also a Mini Thaipusam procession going on. Traffic was diverted from Jalan Utama to Pulau Tikus and thus Burmah Road was choked with cars as well.
Argghhh....

Anyway, Karen & WH ROM was today - Moral Uplifting Society, Penang.
Look at how well she wore the traditional chinese wedding clothes (kwa)? Not many people can wear it as well as her.

This is the only pic I took with my cam because my cam battery went flat suddenly! :)

Anyway, congratulations Karen & WH....hope you like our gift and also our angpows to you! :D

Ebay.com.my

I just bought a few baby items from a wonderful seller at Ebay. She is French and she had twins - both boys. They are cute. I personally met up with her while she & her family came to Penang for a holiday.

I got below items for just a fraction of the original price. So far I am happy! ;)

The First Years: Nature Sensations Activity Gym


The First Years: Airflow Infant Sleep Positioner


Fisher-Price Ocean Wonders Mobile


Anakku Carrier Car Seat

When I have a chance to use them for my Little Angel, I will write reviews about them! :)

35 weeks

Went to see Dr. Eric today. Told him I want to try ala-naturale delivery. He gave me some encouragement.

After peeking into 'Lil Angel's world thorugh ultrasound, Dr. Eric said he is still 2 weeks++ bigger. He still said it is normal and will see how it goes.

But I, being the super-worried-mum-to-be asked Dr. Eric if bigger babies have a more difficult labour. As you know, I am really terrified about the labour and delivery.

Dr. Eric then said 'Yes, they may have a more difficult time but bigger babies are easier to take care once they are out into our world'.

In my head, I was thinking 'Well, firstly, I need get him out of my womb first!'

Anyway, take a look at the mummy - ME!

I look so much better there!

Oh my gawd...my belly looks so huge!
Give some comments after viewing ok?

36 more days to go...

Now with less just a month away from my EDD, everyone is asking me how I am feeling about giving birth to my little angel.

A part of me feel like wanting the moment to come soon...because my huge...and I mean huge belly is making me very uncomfortable nowadays.

I can't sit comfortably. I can't sleep comfortably. I feel clumsy. I feel heavy. My swollen fingers and feet are hurting.

But then another part of me is feeling very, very nervous and scared when the moment comes. Actually, I am TERRIFIED at the thought of labour. I know it is going to be a very painful journey.

I am in fact hoping for an ala-naturale delivery....with no epidural....though I am not sure if I am strong enough to make through it!
I think I will be screaming for 'epidural' halfway during labour!

Banana Muffins with Chopped Chocolate Pieces

Chun Huey called me last night and asked me if I want to have some bananas. I said 'yes, of course!' but little did I know that they were super duper too-riped bananas!

I had no choice but to bake them immediately when I woke up this morning. As our family loves chocolate, I chopped some chocolate pieces and threw them into the batter.


Look at the chocolate pieces and small chunks of bananas in my muffins.


Turned out nice and brown...the way I like it!

Actually, I have not tasted it yet. Too full as I cooked carbonara pasta with garlic bread for lunch! *Burp....excuse me.

Onesies & Mickey from China & HK!

Chiao Ju just came back from China & HK not too long ago from a business trip. She is forever so nice and bought some baby stuff back for 'lil angel.

There are 2 onesies (some ppl call it rompers...i never know the difference!) and a cute little Mickey Mouse toy all the way from Hong Kong Disneyland...woo hoo!

How lucky my 'lil angel is....he got something from HK Disneyland but I've got none... :(

Anyway, I think this forever-kicking-me-nonstop 'lil angel will open his mouth and call 'Aunty Chiao Ju before he will call mummy.....if that happens, I will faint! haha :D



Thanks Chiao Ju..... :D
