11th Check up - 29th Dec 2007

Guess how big is our darling princess now? She is estimated to be 3.15 kg at 37 weeks. Within 2 weeks, she put on 260 grams though mummy didn't put on any extra weight this time. :-p *heng ah*..... Dr Adrian told us to get ready to call him if any emergency cos anytime can be possible for our princess to be born!

It is getting nearer & nearer to her EDD & we are hoping that she will be born on 1st Jan 2008.... ha... do u think it is possible?? ;-) since beginning of Dec, i have experience some crampy feelings on & off but not critical so not time yet i guess..... But now, we are kinda excited & nervous cos really dunno what to expect & whether we can cope with our darling asking for milk in the middle of the nite & etc stuffs.... we pray for extra strength & wisdom to know how to cope with the changes that will take place very soon.... :-) Do keep us in prayer & that our princess adelle will be born healthy & happy. Eewan said before that she dreamt of Adelle smiling when she was born! We'r looking fwd to see our bb soon!!

Our New House @ Kallang - Collection of Keys

On 20th Sep, we went to select our unit & after 3 months of waiting + pestering, finally we collected the keys on 28th Dec 2007! Yippee!! So happy but hor, do you know that i have been calling HDB since Nov (every other week) & asking them on the status...

As i see my tummy keep growing bigger & bigger but HDB got no concrete answer each time i called. So i managed to convince & ask the existing old flat officer what i can do in order for them to do an early release due to my EDD in jan. Finally, she asked me to send over gynae letter to indicate my EDD. Without delay, i emailed over.

After waiting for 2 weeks & on the day of our wedding anniversary, i hear good news from her! She emailed me that i can collect the keys on the date that i have applied leave... well, i told her that i have applied leaves & would prefer to collect the keys on those date & she kind enough to allocate us a date. However, hubby last minute told me that his boss cannot approve his leave wor becos of some trainer coming to S'pore & he need to attend! So bohpian loh... i have to thick skin & email the officer & ask her for an alternative date again & she told us that no other earlier dates available except by giving us the first appointment @8.10am. Super early rite!!! What to do .. angry loh... my off day but have to wake up super early to go HDB leh..... :-(

Anyway, the key collection is a long process... spent abt 1+hr to sign tonnes of paper which u got no idea what u are signing most of the time.... sign sign sign.... then finally, we are done ard 9.20am. BB adelle is really bored inside the tummy waiting for us to finish signing & she is hungry. But hubby gotta rush back to work so we bought some bread & munch along the way back home. Later in the afternoon, i went to orchard to meet my friends for lunch & then head towards my parents house to bring them to my new house!! Cos they say 28th Dec is a good day to OPEN door.... So the whole jing-gang went except hubby cos he gotta work.

Okie, here are some pictures of our small little house to share :

Christmas 2006

This year christmas celebration started early as our cell group party is on 22nd Dec! It was held at Jonathan place which is quite near our house and we catered xmas food like log cake, ham, turkey, etc.... We also have games, gift exchange & sing christmas carols. We had fun with a turnout of 17 pax & 5 are invited friends! :-)

On 23rd Dec, we went for our church christmas musical & our church catered bento set dinner for everyone after the musical. The food was yummy! After dinner, we went to Meiying house to learn from her sis some tips on using the gym ball to manage contractions & most interesting thing is there is a rice sock that her sis told us that it helps to relieve pain & sore. :-)

So what did we do on christmas eve? Besides working half day, we went for the christmas gathering with Airrence's friends @ Caribbean in the evening time. We had bbq this year (last yr we went to Night safari) & the guys do the cooking while the ladies chit chat & eat loh!! hehehee... :-p We also have gift exchange!

Oh ya, forgotton to mention that in my office, i receive a box of foodies & my colleagues say it's a lucky draw. The draw prizes are actually biscuits, chocolate, wine, etc from the hampers given by vendors for xmas.

On christmas day, we went for a nice lunch @ a Austrian restuarant along bukit timah road. After lunch, we went to buy log cake for both of our family - chocolate for mine & vanilla for airrence's side. At night, i cooked mushroom soup, pasta with sausage & baked marinated chicken (but not captured in the picture).

1st Wedding Anniversary - 16th Dec 2007

How fast time has passed!! 1 year since our wedding on 16th Dec 2006... make a guess how we celebrate our 1st anniversary?? hehehe... :p

We went for our wedding anniversary photo shoot(yearly complimentary shot from sophia bridal)! The photographer took abt 20+ picture & we can choose 1 that we like & they will print for us. Since mummy is now pregnant, so we took a picture that can see mummy, tummy(adelle) together with daddy... Waiting for the collection of pic then i can put up in this blog.

We had complimentary voucher for 2D1N stay @ Rasa & $100 dinner voucher from our wedding package last year. So i tried to book since Nov but was told that hotel is fully booked & i request for waitlist. To my horror, i am the #12 on the wait list!! Anyway, nothing can stop mummy from staying @ Rasa since the voucher only valid in the mth of Dec thus mummy approach Perry(our hotel coordinator) & he managed to get us a room wor! Thus, we spent 2D1N to stay @ Rasa Sentosa Resort eating @ Silver Shell Cafe(in Rasa Sentosa hotel) & relaxing away @ Cafe De Mar. During check-in, we are also given a choice to top up to paranomic room by paying $20+(original room entitlement is Deluxe Seaview) and we are given complimentary breakfast too!! hehee... So we took the upgrade option & feast away @ the Silver Shell cafe for a buffet dinner & buffet breakfast!! How sinful right!?!??! :p Well daddy ate abt 18 oysters but mummy can only see & no eating cos it's raw mah... but the cooked food esp salmon are just as nice!! :)

For our anniversay present, Daddy bought mummy a bouquet of sunflower & LV bag cos mummy keep joking abt buying LV bag to put diaper... a bit waste hor?? :p Anyway, it is the classic speedy 30 bag & not diaper bag lah.... As for daddy, mummy bought him a nice Sony Ericsson W960i phone(latest phone)! Well, these presents are for our anniversary cum christmas present since our wedding is so near christmas mah!! hehehee... :p

Overall, it was a nice way to celebrate our anniversary by going back to the place where we made our vows and slowly enjoy the day! Still remember during wedding day, we are so busy & really got no time to enjoy and relax wor.... now going back to Rasa & brought back many memories!! :D Also we saw 2 couples that hold their wedding @ the lawn area!

Okie here are some pictures to share :

10th Checkup - 15th Dec 2007

We went for the regular checkup & wondering if Adelle has head down & "stuck" already at week 35? Well the answer is Adelle head already down since 7+ mths & now my tummy got no space for her to swim around but head not engaged yet so meaning not so soon for birth yet..

Anyway, adelle is very chubby loh... estimated weight is now 2.89kg. Dr Adrian asked me if i got eat durian & milk but i didn't wor... dunno why adelle put on 700gram over 3 weeks wor... whereby my weight gain this time is 1.5kg which is share half by her.... hehehee... :-p So Dr Adrian commented that most likely Adelle inherit daddy genes to be big size leh!! hahaaa...... ops! Here are the scan pic but dunno head or body loh...

Wild rockets @ Mt Emily

Christmas is coming so my vendor invited my marketing colleagues & i for an early xmas dinner @ Wild Rocket(http://www.wildrocket.com.sg/wildrocket.htm) cos she is now skiing in Canada.... shiok hor!!


It was a thursday night & you wont believe that such a ulu place all the way up in the hill yet the seats are fully occupied! The dinner was great but i can't take the starters cos mostly are raw salmon & raw beef which is not suitable for preggy. But i had the steak for main course(portion quite small) & the desserts were superb! We order oreo cheese, strawberry cheese & the chocolate cake where u can see the chocolate flowing out when u poke it with your fork! Yummy. Took some pic of the dessert to share. Oh ya forget to mentioned that the baked/fried sweet potato was very nice too & that filled up my stomach!! :-p~~~
