My 29th Birthday

I had a wonderful time tonight... Everything was Amazing and Perfect!
-All thanks to Tiki~

Well, the day didn't start off perfect because I woke up feeling groggy, sleepy and grumpy~ So as usual, I had my breakfast, log on to the internet and spent a few hours blogging, updating and surfing the web. I made lunch since Tiki couldn't have lunch with me. While watching Desperate Housewives Season 3, I had Instant noodles with eggs, prawns, bok choy and tons of tofu. You can say I wasted first half of my Birthday doing practically nothing interesting... I'm happy to see plenty of Birthday wishes for me on my mobile phone and Facebook... That sort of brightened my day a little... Thank you! =)

Today, Tiki took half-day off from work to accompany me but then he wasn't home until about 3pm due to some business lunch. While I was trying to nap... I heard "DING-DONG" then I went "Haiyah... Just laid down only!!" So I "strolled" to open the door (cannot walk very fast anymore). Surprise!! Tiki was holding a bouquet of flowers! They were so beautiful! I love the scent and colour!! I began smiling~

We bought a camera from the Changi Airport Duty Free Singapore from our last trip in September. But we didn't get onto playing with it, so I decided to start using it today... I'm totally happy with it! I actually feel like I'm a professional photographer! haha~ Still need alot of practice though~

(I mentioned to Tiki about a hundred times how I loved our new camera throughout the day.)

Anyway, we took off for dinner at 1830. The Prime restaurant we were going is across the river ___ situated in The Millennium Hilton Hotel, Bangkok. We got to enjoy the River View because we were given the window seat as per Tiki's request because it is his wife Birthday! hee~ The service and food was Fantastic... I've decided on the set menu since, it was highly recommended and I was very hungry. I enjoyed every single dish. Especially the beef, even though it had to be cooked well-done... Every bite was a surprise... I think this is by far the best piece of meat I've ever had...

Dinner ended with a surprise when the crew showed up with a Complimentary cake, singing Happy Birthday to me... I was quite embarrassed about it mainly because it is a fine dining restaurant was and it was so quiet... It felt like a sudden burst of firecrackers and everyone was looking my way...

My Birthday Slideshow

(Was trying to upload slideshow but I'm experiencing some problems with the internet. Meantime, you can browse pictures in my Facebook.) 

I've enjoyed myself to the fullest tonight with the company of delectable cuisine, beautiful view, great ambience and my wonderful 老公.

I didn't just fly to the moon, I was OVER the moon!!

Bao Bao at 34 weeks!

I'm 34 weeks Pregnant on my 29th Birthday! =) Last Birthday before I become a Mommy! Next year, this time, I'll have both Bao Bao and Tiki to celebrate with me! How different will that be!?! hee~

Usually, when I sleep these couple of days, I don't feel pregnant at all... Perhaps my body is getting used to it... BUT, whenever I try to change my sleeping position or get up, I am reminded of the reality very harshly! It hurts SO bad!! My pelvics feel like it's going to break any minute!!

Today, I woke up feeling very sleepy... Bao bao had been moving all night not to mention the frequent trips to the washroom... Right now, I have a feeling that he loves to move around when I'm lying down because he has more room. As oppose to me sitting up, he's movement is due to lack of space.

I had a pack of Raw Wheatgerm sitting on the kitchen countertop for about 4months and I finally started adding them to my breakfast cereal. Read once again about all the goodness of wheatgerm, so no excuse not to eat it, though it changes the taste of the cereal by a little... Oh well, things we do for our baby!!

My Baby Bump at 34 weeks

Do you think my Tummy is Big? I'm not so sure... I thought it should be much bigger... ;)
Not much updates this week. More or less the same ol' pregnancy experience going on...

Prenatal Lesson 2

Had High Tea with Kelly this afternoon at Dusit Thani Hotel. We shared a couple of cakes together... My favourite was Milk Chocolate Banana Cake... =) Van-Dylan was just running all over the lobby cafe touching and exploring things... He's really cute... I wouldn't say he's a active baby, I think he's just really curious at this stage...
Kelly is so funny, kept insisting on taking lots of picture for me... I felt a little awkward. Her logic was to capture nice pictures one month before the baby comes... Anyway, I'll collect more pictures from her soon... Had a nice time~

Picked Tiki up from work earlier to go for Prenatal Lesson 2. This time he was able to come along with me... Thankfully! Doctor talked about Labour and the details of different types of delivery. I thought it's wise for Tiki to know the useful details at least he can interact our plans with my Gynae when D-day comes.

They also showed us the rooms for delivery in Bumrumgrad Hospital. Since I haven't seen the ones at BNH hospital, it gives me an idea how it's going to be like.

Window Shopping

Friday night, we had Steamboat at COCA for a change... Tiki and I aren't fans of steamboat but we've been so sick of eating similar food all the time. Not too bad, we had lots of vegetables! I'm sure we'll be heading back there for some simpler food.

On Saturday, Tiki brought me to a Japanese Restaurant, Aoi for lunch... They have several branches in Bangkok, and since we usually do our weekend errands at Emporium, we gave that one a try. Surprisingly, the service and food is really good and most importantly, not overpriced. I was salivating at the sashimi sets... 我忍!!

After lunch, we decided to go window shopping. Tiki is looking for a vest or sweater because according to him, his office is freezing! We popped by Louis Vuitton and Chanel for price check! hehe~ Just for fun! We're not intending to get anything... Wanted to know how much more does it cost in Bangkok. Tiki was in love with a Bag in Louis Vuitton. I just mentioned that maybe we can get a Diaper Bag from LV, then he saw this huge bag big enough for baby stuffs, which I sort of also like... Cos it looked really cool! I checked the price and it cost about a whooping SGD5,000 here! NO WAY I'm going to spend that kind of money on a DIAPER BAG!! I told Tiki, might as well buy Chanel! haha... SO! We walked away and dropped by Chanel to check out the price of my Dream Bag... It's scary how much more it costs here compared to Singapore! At least SGD700 more! It's crazy!

In the end, we didn't even get Tiki's sweater cos he couldn't find anything nice... Next stop, is Gourmet Market to do our grocery shopping... Nothing much, just routine shopping.

In the evening, we pop by the new Anna Restaurant and Art Gallery for dinner. Their menu is almost the same as the Anna and Charlie Cafe, which we frequent. Bummed into the owner, Charlie as we were leaving and I was looking at a picture of how Sathorn Road used to be... Much like a mangrove area... How things have changed.... He did his part of PR and seemed like a nice guy...

Sunday, we chilled at home watching Desperate Housewives while Tiki played with his Computer. We had MacD breakfast again! I suppose Bun with Egg and Bacon along with Hashbrown isn't that bad for health! hehe~ The reason why I love the MacD breakfast here is because they use burger bun instead of muffins... Sooo Soft! I hate MacD's Muffins~

Our Dinner on Sunday

Tiki's ABC Soup

(He say add some dates is sweeter... though I still prefer without.)

My Pork Chop Creation

We tried the Thai Durian we bought on Saturday from Gourmet Market. It's called Kanyaw. Taste pretty good! Will try to eat somemore cos I heard reasonable amount of durian is good for Bao Bao.

Remake of Spoon-specs from Emma 

(Hahaha...)

無聊!

Tiki took this picture of me at the "Crime Scene" of my lost Glasses

Anna & Charlie Cafe

Sadly, we never found them... Now, I'm left with my one and only pair of......

Delibrately Huge, Retro or some might say, Orbit; 

Unintentionally Broken and Skilfully Repaired with Rubber Band 

Glasses

(No Make-Up and Cock-eyed)

A Collage of Me Feeling Bored

(Spot the Differences)

My Birthday is next week... But I don't feel like going anywhere or doing anything special. Except for the fact that I suddenly crave for BBQ & Buffet session with my closest Family and Friends... The preparations, the Chicken wings, Char Bee hoon, Baked potatoes, Sambal Stingray, Spring rolls, Deep fried prawns... The noise, gossips, chatting, the mahjong, the card games, going on and on the whole night! Everyone enjoying and happy without a care in the world!! Well, that's impossible for now for sure... 

I'll just dream about it tonight!

Bao Bao at 33 weeks!

Internet was down for 2 days! So I wasn't able to update timely~

Went to see Dr Suvit on Wenesday afternoon alone this time because he had to change the appointment time and Tiki wasn't able to make it. When I arrived at the hospital, I was served once again, my "favourite" drink... 50mg of Glucose! YUCKS!! I have no idea how many more times I have to do the test, I forgot to ask! hee~ Not a very pleasant test... After drinking, I'm supposed to wait (ALONE) for about an hour before anything else. I was so sleepy, but I forgot to bring my mask out, so couldn't fall alseep on the comfy couch... Instead, I spent about 30minutes playing Bejeweled on my phone...

(Use of Mask: Unable to sleep without it in public. To hide my sleeping face, drool, prevents dry throat, choking, bacteria, germs and unknown "kaka"... It's not a fancy accessory, it's an absolute essential neccessity!)

Half-drank Mug of Glucose :: Needle Poke

Luckily, Dr Suvit rescued me from boredom and saw me at the 45mins mark. We did some routine checks like the heartbeat and position of Bao Bao. Here's our conversation when I got off the examination table, 

Dr: "I think Baby is going to be Big!" 

Me: "Big?!" *looking shock*

Dr:  "You don't think big?"

Me: "I thought I have a small tummy... Maybe I'm just fat."

Dr:  "Hahaha, we will see about that!"

Well, I have no idea what to think about that comment... He mentioned that looking at my statistics, I should have 80% chance of natural birth. *Fingers Crossed* We discussed more about the how labour is going to be like and how frequent contractions should be before going to the hospital. I'm having less questions to ask nowadays... probably I'll have more when the date is nearing.

The nurse took my blood for GTT then I left...
I needed some sleep back home but Bao Bao was having sugar rush from all that glucose I've taken... He was jabbing, poking, dancing and twirling non-stop inside while I was trying to nap... GOSH! I got the after effects of the sugar rush as well... I felt cold, sick and very grumpy! I hate that Drink!!! Thank god, I passed the test, I can't imagine downing 100mg of Glucose!

Our Statistics:

Bao Bao's Position: Head down -as always, which is a good thing... :)

Bao Bao's Heartbeat: 140 bpm

My Blood Pressure: 128/77

My Heartbeat: 101 bpm

My Blood Sugar Level: 131 (2 points less than the last time...)

My Weight: 73.5kg (After a heavy lunch... hehe~ but who am I kidding?!)

My Baby Bump at 33 weeks

Having a bit of problem sleeping... My upper right ribcage hurts like mad every single night... and who's the little culprit? I can actually touch his foot!! It's like a little "Baluku" next to or underneath my ribs... And he doesn't wanna to move his foot away no matter what I do... I tried light massages and changing positions... But he'll just happily stay where he is while I sleep in pain... The pain will only happen when I'm lying down though. His feet doesn't really bother me during the day maybe because I'm standing or sitting up most of the time... Only once a while he will Jab me up the ribs while I'm sitting...

Another sleeping problem is the tickling... Bao Bao tickles me from the inside sometimes and since he's getting stronger, I can feel his fingers moving rapidly by the side of my tummy ! I'll JUMP right up from my position... It's really really ticklish!!! I don't mind the boxing and kicking as much as the tickling... hehe~ The kickboxing routine is getting powerful and quick! It's the most amazing and funniest that no words can describe how that felt! Keeps me pondering what's is he actually doing in there! =)

Pelvic soreness is not getting any better, in fact I think it'll just get worse as days go by due to Bao Bao's weight gain. I was trying very hard not to waddle like a penguin, I think I will have to give in very very soon...

Sometimes, Tiki tries to push the "Baluku" under my right rib and I keep telling him not to, just in case it'll cause any injury to Bao Bao...  This Tiki is getting very impatient and naughty... He likes to slap my tummy to make Bao Bao move... I told him not to, because Bao Bao might feel the slapping and pain! hehe... Something like 搁山打牛 in the some Kung Fu show~ He's really jealous of me being able to feel Bao Bao movements all the time and he can't! haha... Too bad!!

Definition of "Baluku": Bruise or Bump or a type of Asian Fruit.

Char Bee Hoon

I've finally "Char" the long awaited Bee Hoon over the weekend. Since my little accident I've put off cooking Bee Hoon altogether. I'm glad I made it on Sunday... Yummy!
(Ingredients: Bee Hoon, Egg, Prawn, Ham, White Onion, Cabbage, Carrot, Garlic, Shallots, Spring Onion)

Tiki made Old Cucumber Soup!

He said, "I make the best soup in the whole world!! Bao Bao is sure love to drink soup made by Me!" 

Hahaha... I'm sure Bao bao will too! They're all so DELICIOUS made with LOVE~

Nowadays, every few sentences he says, there's bound to be a "Bao Bao" or "Baby Tyler" in it... hehe!

老黃瓜湯

 ♥ 老公 and his daily dose of StarBucks & Newspaper during Lunch~

This afternoon, we were deciding where to go for lunch when I realised that I've got some leftover cabbage and prawn from Sunday's Char Bee Hoon. Since Tiki's going to be really late for lunch due to some meeting, I decided to make use of the ingredients and made us Spicy Instant Noodles... I know it's pretty unhealthy... But at least we got some nutrients from some fresh ingredients... It feels so good to have instant noodles after sometime... So Tiki came back home for lunch! :)
