Ve Vent Vegge

Jon took a half day's leave and we went for a lunch date at Original Sin!

We had thought of trying their lunch set a few times, but never really had the chance. Since we had planned to take leave for Janine's wedding, we also planned a few weeks in advance to have a lunch date at Chip Bee Gardens together :)










The lunch set was just nice - not too filling, and it felt very healthy. All veggie! Original Sin is a vegetarian restaurant. We both had the veggie wrap, which was delicious, and freshly squeezed juice (they offer a range of 4-5 choices of juice combis). The dessert was very yummy too - affogato! The vanilla ice-cream they used was very good. You could even see the black dots from the vanilla pods. And I was very happy they were willing to accommodate and give me a decaf option for the coffee.

But, after the healthy, yummy meal, I imagined Baby saying "Mummy, why you only gif me veggie??" Alamak :)

MHIFCE & PHTCUAYSISC

So, I invited the girls over for a MHIFCE & PHTCUAYSISC Party :)

What's that?

They were all wondering too I think haha. It's the "my house is finally clean enough" and the "please help to clean up after yourself so it stays clean" party! :)










The house has been in so much of a mess that I couldn't bear to have a gathering! It finally looked decent enough to be presented, though not completely clean :) Anyway, the real idea was just to meet up with everyone cos it's been quite a while! Wanted to meet everyone before I popped! To keep it fuss free, the easiest way was to order pizza (no cooking!) and use disposables (no washing!). Hassle free for a preggers lady!










We played a round of the game Therapy, and found that most of us are psychotic and in desparate need of therapy! :O) Think we each went through at least 3-4 therapy sessions! Anyway, hopefully they all left fully recovered and ready to face the world again :)

Mummy's Baby Shopping Spree

Mummy went on a baby shopping spree the other day...and even got a Mothercare membership! :) So Baby Nair now has even more tiny clothes :) They really are so small! Was washing the clothes and when I hung up the little socks, I was telling Jon it's like hanging Christmas socks for mice!

Preggers Tummy (5) - Hiaoing Away!

Came home and decided that since it's been quite long since I took some tummy shots, it's time for more! And, oh man, did I get Jon to take more hee.

Took a photo of what I wore to work that day - a pregnant outfit I like very much cos it's not frumpy :) That isn't even a pregnancy dress! It's an old dress I bought in Sec 1 or 2 that just got shorter and shorter, and eventually ended up hanging around my calves - which I found looked strange on me. So some years back, I cut off the bottom and hemmed it up around my knees. Ta da! Little black dress!

Hopping around as usual :)






















Then changed into separates so I could take tummy shots! :) Baby's grown quite a lot I think. Plus, it looks like he's gone lower! THE DAY is coming soon!

F1 Trials

Jon & decided to pop down to town to check out the F1 trials. The atmosphere was really good, and there were plenty of people milling about trying to catch a glimpse of the cars zipping by. The sounds of the engines were really great! SUPER loud, and very electric!










When I saw how fast the F1 cars went over the Anderson Bridge, that was when I really knew just how fast they went. Normally when I drive over, it takes one-thousand-two-thousand-three-thousand to cross. The F1 cars? One... That's it! I wasn't even able to reach "thousand"!












Anyway, like I said, everyone was trying to catch the action, and most were like us - without tickets :) Some ingenious people even brought ladders to climb up and have a clear view over the barriers! The organisers were putting up cloth to block the view of those outside, and while they were working we could still look into the Padang area and see cars zooming by. Then when they put up the last bit of cloth, the crowd spontaneously went "ooooiiiiiii", then everyone started laughing cos it was quite funny just how spontaneous everyone's reaction was, plus the same choice of "oi" :) Times like that give me a warm feeling of being part of the Singapore culture hahaha.

Anyway, having gone down to see the area the day before the race made watching the race on TV even more thrilling, for me at least :) The Singapore skyline really did look very very good on TV, and I think the publicity is great! Hope there'll be equally good, or better, race years ahead!

Kicking Caught on Camera!

It was one of those days where Baby just felt extra active (it happens every now and then), so I decided to grab the camera and film it! :) I've been wanting to keep a record of it just for fun heh.

Since the movements may be hard to see on camera, I put the camera case on my belly to make the movements more obvious :) The jerks of the camera case are not me! It's Baby!

Pregnant Musings

Yeeep, I'm definitely visibly pregnant. I now have pregnant privileges like being allowed to sit out of the queue while keeping my place in line (kudos to the nice manager at Sakae Sushi), people giving up seats for me on the MRT and bus, etc. Had to wait quite long to get such privileges though - people say I look small for my stage of pregnancy.

Anyway, on a separate note, the whole world seems to go to Dr W K Tan! I have colleagues who went to her, colleagues who were themselves delivered by her, family friends that I found out go to her cos I bumped into them at the waiting area, random people I meet at other people's weddings...it's amazing! I really wonder how many Singaporeans have been delivered by her! For sure Baby's in good hands! :)
