This blog was suppose to be written last week but I've been really lazy and was not in the mood of blogging. Partly also because hubby was at home early the whole of last week so I'm just happy to relax and enjoy the company of my hubby watching TV together while my son occassionally give us his moves in my tummy which can be quite entertaining for both of us.
Last Thursday was a public holiday and we decided to have an eating trip together with my fil. As usual, baby woke me up in the morning around 9ish and as always I will be hungry the moment I wake up so we decided to walk to the indian restaurant just outside our house for breakfast. At 11.30am we went to Yut Kee for lunch but we didn't have a heavy one because we plan to go for second round somewhere else. We arrived at Yut Kee slightly after 1200 and it was already full house! Luckily, we didn't had to wait too long but the down side was we had to share table. So anyway, we ordered their famous dishes which is Hainanese pork chop, Hai Lam Mee and also steam bread with butter and kaya. The bread was not too bad but I would much prefer if they use the old fashion type of butter and not individually packed Anchor brand butter. As for the kaya I personally find that the one bought by one of our relative was much nicer. Overall I would say their standard has dropped tremendously especially the Hai Lam Mee. It was very obvious that it was pre-cooked because when it was served it wasn't hot and the noodles was soggy. But I must say the chili that goes with the noodles is really good. We also take away their famous kaya swiss roll which we find that the taste is still OK but the size of the roll has shrunk tremendously.
We then continue our makan journey to somewhere near Selayang... I think! Anyway, this shop is famous for it's fish ball noodles and it was previously located very closeby Yut Kee. When hubby first brought me there for their fish ball noodles it was in an old shack in Jalan Yap Ah Shak...really hot and crowded with a man who takes our orders and when he relay back to the kitchen we have no idea what he's talking about! It was closed down few years back and we couldn't find where it was located until last week when I was just trying my luck by google-ing and wah lah I found it! They have upgraded from an old shack into a nicely renovated shop with air condition, marble tables and most importantly the shop looks clean. This fish ball shop is now call Fish Ball Mee KNL restaurant. We manage to locate the shop by using our gps and it was a pretty long drive all the way from Yut Kee. We ordered a bowl of fish ball, mee with 'char yuk' and a bowl of tau foo pok. The fish ball is not as good as before in terms of texture but the taste is still quite similar to what I've tasted when they were back in the shack. I didn't like the 'char yuk' and not sure about the tau foo pok because I'm not a fan of tau foo pok.
After our second round of luncheon, we headed home to rest and discuss what's for dinner. I had cravings for waffles at waffle world so the initial plan was to try this new restaurant near paramount which is famous for their claypot fish head and head to 1 Utama for waffles. Well, hubby and I was so tired from all the eating so we decided to take a nap. Well not sure if you call it a nap because when we woke up is actually time for dinner. Anyway, we ditched the idea of going two places so we went straight to 1 Utama to have dinner and I decided to give Sri Melaka a try. Nothing to rave about our dinner and because I was so looking forward to having waffles, I kept my stomach some room for waffles.
After waffles, we went to my sil house to deliver the swiss roll and chatted till about midnight and I was exhausted!

A New Toy For Daddy!
Last weekend we had quite a relaxing Saturday. We woke up quite early... well earlier than usual and got ready to pick up Russ to go for his grooming session. We also picked up our maid and took her for lunch and then back to our condo to assist us on cleaning our place. Yes.. both mummy & daddy been really lazy and now we are relying on "kakak" to help us clean our nest!
While she's cleaning both of us were also cleaning our wardrobe and clearing the store room so that "kakak" can come and stay with us during the confinement month. After that, we took a rest and daddy was watching his favourite Astro channel which is the sports channel but it wasn't playing any sports it was a show where they review all the PS3 or X Box games. Both of us got so impressed and engrossed with the games that they showed and couldn't believe how detail the graphics were. Then daddy said maybe we should go check it out. Obviously, I was quite keen because I have been thinking for months whether to get a Wii or not. We hesitated initially but after the review I decided to reward daddy for being such a supportive husband and daddy by offering to buy it for him so we headed to Sunway Pyramid.
When we arrived in Pyramid we head straight to the digital mall and were absolutely clueless! First we entered a shop inside the digital mall but it was really packed with people so we decided to walk out. We walk out of the digital mall and there was another stand alone shop manned by youngsters. Daddy said let's go ask them and see how much we are going to get slaughtered. Surprisingly, the guy that was servicing us was quite friendly to explain to us the difference between PS3, XBox and Wii. This is how we made our decision to get the X Box.
Wii - Graphics not as good as X Box or PS 3
PS3 - Can't play pirated games
X Box - Able to play pirated games and graphics is much better
So I told daddy we should give X Box a try and then I further asked about Kinect. I got excited when he introduced me this sophisticated gadget. It works like a Wii with the exception that we do not need to hold on to anything! How cool is that! We decided to get it as well and while the guy was testing the console out with Kinect boy did we draw crowd to the shop! After everything, we couldn't wait to go back and try it but unfortunately daddy had a wedding dinner to attend and I had dinner plans with one of my girlfriend. So we had no choice but to test the new toy later in the night.
As usual, when two girls go out for dinner we yak and yak and yak and must have dessert to continue gossipping away so by the time I reached home it was already close to 1am. I bought home supper for daddy and was quite dissapointed when daddy said our living room is not big enough for the kinect to detect the player. Daddy said he will figure something out tomorrow because he's very dizzy now and he needs to sleep! I just laughed ! He's dizziness was from playing the Xbox games! He said that he's getting too old for all this games. The graphics are making him dizzy!
The next morning we woke up early again and went to La Bodega for brunch at Empire. After such a heavy brunch, we bought some "kueh" from Nyonya Colours and also a pack of Nasi Lemak and Mee Hoon Siam just incase we get hungry later on during the day. After we got home, daddy finally found a corner far enough for the Kinect to detect the player but only able to accommodate one player at a time and we started playing. We had so much fun because it's really funny to see each other's reaction while they are playing with their hands and feet swinging everywhere! And mind you the Kinect even take photos of you while you're playing!
Both of us think that is a good buy because we had so much fun! Can't wait for the weekend so that we can play again!

Ooops! What A Shameful Accident !
Yesterday I had the most embarassing pregnant moment ever which I will never forget! I've read a few pregnancy books and also from google-ing online that at times pregnant women can't really hold their pee. Initially I thought nah... it won't happen to me I mean I've been going to the loo quite frequent already to empty my bladder so that this won't happen!! O.M.G this is how it all started....
As usual, every morning I will have my routine work in the office and I will usually go for my toilet break around 11.30am and usually by then I will be quite desperate to relieve my bladder. Unfortunately, the cleaning lady decided to change her schedule and when I went to the loo she was cleaning it. So i walked back to my office and I had a shocked of my life! The moment I open the office door which I need to pull I suddenly felt that I leaked! YES! I didn't know what to do but to continue walking back to my workstation and thinking hmmm could it be extremely heavy discharge or is my pee! I was crossing my fingers that let it be really heavy discharge but I know deep down it wasn't! Obviously, I couldn't concentrate on my work anymore and can't wait for the cleaning lady to finish cleaning the loo so that I can go and find out how bad it was! Well Thankfully it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and used lots of tissues trying to dry my undies. Obviously, the rest of the day I just can't wait to go home because I felt so uncomfortable and felt so ashame eventhough I did not mention a word to my collegue! Lesson learnt... do not wait till the last minute to relieve my bladder especially in public!

Can't Wait To See My Son!!
Hubby went out for "yum cha" session with his buddies leaving me all alone at home with my baby and my beloved Russ so I decided to update my blog since I haven't been doing so for about a week now. I had my mind set to share with everybody what my baby looks like in my tummy now with the 4D scan that I just took last check up but guess what!?!?! The scanner is not working!! AAaarrgghhh!
Somehow the computer just can't detect that there's a scanner being installed and so I decided to search online for the driver to install it and after several attempts of downloading various files it still doesn't work! I even downloaded a driver which when I double click on it to install, it is all in chinese characters!
Anyway.. shall not waste anymore time and I will get hubby to settle it later. Anyway, last week check up was quite interesting. First of all Dr said that my weight gain is really good. She was really supportive by saying that if I maintain what I have been doing and not to fluctuate my weight too much I shouldn't have any problems delivering my baby naturally and it should be an easy delivery. Yayyyy!! The scanning was good fun too because I requested for a 4D scan. Unfortunately, the umbilical cord is right infront of the baby so all we could see is the side view of him. Ahhh but is good enough. Dr also mentioned that everything is going well with baby and he's going to be a "long" baby. Judging from his length, he is 2 weeks ahead of an average baby size. Let's hope all my drinking of Enfamama pays off because is quite a torture to drink them every morning but when I think of my baby I make sure I have one cup a day. Baby next time you must sayang mummy and not be a rascal ok? Can't wait for my next appointment which is in 2 weeks time. Yeah... Dr said from now on we will have check up every 2 weeks.

29 weeks and 3 days
According to my iphone application "What to Expect" baby is due in 10 weeks and 4 days. Can you imagine? Well I can't! It seems like it was just few months back that I'm announcing to everyone that I'm pregnant and now I have less than 3 months to go!
With that in mind of course I've been doing a lot of research on pain relief and stages of labour... and of course asking around from experienced mothers. Sometimes, I worried so much that I will just wake up in the middle of the night and start to imagine what it will be like! I know is getting crazy but I can't help but imagine whether can I handle it when the day comes.
This morning hubby woke up early (usually he is still sleeping after I leave the house for work). Anyway, I was just reminding him that our check up is this Friday and then I asked him to guess how many months is our baby. He said 6 months! Then of course I proudly said that baby is 7 months old now. Hubby said he's also getting very anxious and I told him yup me too! I told him that I am also very scared for the labour and gave him this wild idea. I told him that we need to stock up on TVB dramas for me to watch while I'm in labour! He laughed and asked how am I going to watch it? I said well we can play it through the laptop. He said that I won't be able to concentrate on the drama.. well I don't care.. I am still going to give it a shot! My thinking is that rather than not doing anything and then I'll probably end up concentrating on the pain... I might as well have some other distractions right?
Well baby has been very active lately. Kicking...punching...tossing and turning I think! I don't exactly know what he's doing inside but I can really feel him moving every now and then. Recently, he likes to move actively around 3-ish in the morning which sometimes is so strong that I will be awake and I have to calm him down in order for me to continue my sleep! Another time that he's particularly active is while I'm at work around 5pm. Other than that, I noticed that during lunch time while I'm eating sometimes he will move around... but I realised from the time I'm awake till lunch time I assume he's sound asleep! Hmmm... I hope he doesn't have our bad sleeping habits!
