I am back from Perth since Sunday morning.
It was a lovely trip with my loved ones accompanying me - my sister and hubby. I am constantly pampered and driven around, having the options.. Hee Hee..
In Perth, it's late winter turning early spring. Very cool specially when the wind blows. Being pregnant does not means I have more heat, instead I felt cold all the time, wrapping myself like a mummy.
We went to visit Margaret River. It was wonderful, I tried have a little bit of wines, beer. Went for Leeuwin Lighthouse, Lake Cave, Berry Farm, Sunflower Farm, Ice-cream/chocolate/cheese Factory etc. Best meal was spend at Berry farm as well as Bootleg!! Feeding the animals like kangaroo, sheeps, pony, ostrich, horse is so fun!
Visited Fremantle Market was cold and freezing.. As it is near the habour, but the fish n chips there is super! Sis n Hub enjoyed the fresh osyters and went back for more! I loved shopping at Woolworth and Coles, their supermarket!! Their quick sale items are still so fresh (to them it's expiry) to us, it is like newly displayed on shelves.
Kings Park is also a place not to be missed. Skies are blue, and park is filled with friendly people who offered to take pixes for us and dog lovers too. We enjoyed the views of the cities and the tree top walk!! Also went to Bell Tower to have a chance to witness the demonstration how bells worked. As I am preggie, Hub n sis put the strings of the bells.
We have clean hotels thru out the stay and managed to secure great deals too. Time management was great except that the 2 loved ones suffered under the hands of this tempermental mummy at times!! Too bad, I am the queen for the moment!!
Thanks God for everything and I rated one of the best overseas trip ever in my entire life!!

I am in my 24th week now. Another 16 weeks to popping date!! ;)
Today, I will pop by my gynae to check on the baby's status. Somehow, I have gain lotsa pounds for the past weeks that I would not dare to stand on the machine! Lately, my legs swell in the evening, filled water retention. At times, both legs cramped in the middle of the night.. just part of preggie.
We are planning for our Aussie trip. Hubby is supposed to plan everything but after awhile, it's my sis and myself doing the research. Feels excited about this trip, afterall, I wonder when can we travel as a family after the baby arrives! So, I look forward for this coming trip.
Perth here we come!!

A tribute to my paternal grandpa who passed away on Tuesday, 4 Aug 2009:
Dear Ah Gong
Thank you for being my grandpa. Though you are a man of few words, but you are always there watching us (the grandkids since we are young). And every CNY, you would be eager to see us and prepare the angpows for us.
Thank you for watching us growing us. We all love you!
Though I am very sad that my ah-gong is unable to make it to see my little one. But it's truly a mirracle that he managed to survive thru for the past 3 years. Earlier on he was diagnosed with stroke and later, doc told us that 80% of his lungs had harden, meaning he has to pump blood to function every month and less than a year survival. He managed even to pass thru my wedding and 2 Chinese New Year. But weeks ago, he cant hold it anymore, lungs are totally not functioning well. We have to be mentally prepared. With N1H1 spreading widely, even in mid Jul, I was told by my mum not to visit him in the hospital with my preggie condition, I never regret going against her and my stubborness. I managed to see ah-gong for once.
On Tues evening, I finally saw a message sent by my cousin at 1pm plus that ah-gong cant make. I called my mum and she told me ah gong passed away peacefully at home after 2 times rescue in the hospital, completing his wish to 'go' at his own house. I cried.. Why am I late? But thinking back, I also know ah-gong wont want me to be over upset with my little one.
Thank you ah-gong for your love, I will always remember you and your kindness!

Happy Birthday to me
Happy Birthday to me
Happy Birthday to Mummy-to-be
Happy Birthday to meIt's the special day of the year again. My birthday. There is no celebration with friends, only with the most important person of my life - Hubby plus my little one. But the simple way of spending the entire day with my loved ones makes me extremely happy.
Woke up on time for church service. Later, we head for Orchard.. Just craved a bit for Korean food, so we went to the korean restaurant @ Far East Plaza basement. My only concern is the little one refusing to take spicy food. Hubby and I talked to our little one to ensure that I will take 'junk' food for a day only so that I wont be a 'merlion'. And today, the little one is exceptionally good to me. Other days is otherwise..
We shopped around for ideas to decorate the room, maternity stuffs, baby items.. The more we shopped, the more confused we got.. Also, we hopped by Borders to browse thru babies' names.. Haha, Hub n I cant agree on the same. For current, we call the one by the chinese name (Names we decide even before we got married). Wanted to shop at ION but it was super crowded, likely to be back on other days.
We ended early dinner at DOME, Paragon. Salad, cake and coffee (mummy is treating baby no good food ;p).
Hub agreed that it's likely the last time both of us will step into Orchard again before I pop.
Now, I am surfing for airfare. Havent decide on destination for our holiday - 3rd week of Aug before traveling stop entirely for me till I pop. Where, how, what? Watch out for next update..
