A VALENTINE for THREE

Pre-celebrated my Valentine with my hubby and the small little one in my stomach yesterday as I think I'll be on confinement on 14 Feb.


Nothing special as no one will agree driving up a 9 months pregnant lady to KL for Valentine's celebration. So we chose to dine at Kensington since Seremban has no other better choice.



Wanted to have lobster but too bad they didn't have it on yesterday (o_-)




Although these meals are not new to me, but I really love the taste of every dish. Quality is always GOOD (｡♥‿♥｡)



Super love the baked potato skin and I think their food presentation has improved significantly!



After the gratifying dinner, hubby and me went back home for a photo shooting session requested by me \('-')/


I haven't had time to edit all the photos and thus, I can only show you a few of self-camwhoring pix at the moment.




Super hard to have good-looking pix because my face is so chubby now. But due to my persistence, I can have a few CHIO　photos finally! The tricks are to try different angles and cover my face with my hair!!!











As you can see in the photos, I changed from my dress to casual wear, then to pyjamas because I camwhored non-stop til the moment I removed my makeup (*Beh tahan myself).



Although I'm now goyang kaki at home, but I have many many things to do and prepare!!!



Planning my confinement menu! Really learned a lot from this book.


I no need to eat those boring "黄酒鸡" and "麻油鸡" everyday. YEAH!!! \(^•^)/

Happy Chinese New Year

This is the most relaxing CNY ever since I start working 4 years ago after completing my study.



Red dress to "ong" me from head to toe.



Bring me wealth! Love my nails!



My niece, Cindy! She's super cute!






Another cute doll, Amber. Also my niece.



Met up with Cheesie!



Cheesie was so surprised seeing my big stomach and swollen legs.



Besides watching TV and online at home, what I can do is ................................


EAT EAT EAT!


Chinese style course meal is something that you shouldn't miss during CNY. Not only that, I went to Matsu for Japanese food too. Always love Japanese food because they are less oily and thus made me think that it's more healthy!!!



My favourite chawanmushi



Ebiko sushi



Unagi sushi roll with cheese.... Heavenly delicious! One of their signature dishes.






Salmon sushi roll with ebiko



King prawn sushi



Takoyaki



Soft shell crab temaki



As I get closer to my due date, I'm getting more and more nervous and excited. I even dreamed of myself giving birth and doctor said I got 5 babies in my stomach last night!!! So ridiculous and this is OMG impossible!

My sexy legs are gone!

Due to the weight gain and severe water retention problem, my slim legs have turned into a pair of elephant legs which I could hardly accept. You may think I exaggerated but I'm not. Scroll down to get my evidence!



Just to show you my slim and sexy legs BEFORE I got pregnant.










Since the 6th month during my pregnancy, I have problems fitting into shoes. My foots were swollen and my ankle disappeared after work everyday. But swelling was gone in the morning after I soaked my foots in hot water and did foot massage.



This is the proof.




When it came to the 7th months, swelling problem got worst. I couldn't find my ankles anymore from day to night (︶︹︺)



My foot on 36th weeek


Swelling problem seemed to get better at foot area (as you can see my foot got a lot of crease and wrinkle) but something WORST happened.



I totally can't accept this!!!




My swollen elephant legs. Swelling on right leg is more severe as you can see in the photo (crying in my heart everyday when I see them)



The sacrifice of being a mum. Fat legs that FATT MY LIFE!



There are two more weeks to go. I really can't wait to start my slimming program!



Before I end this sad post, I gotta comfort myself by posting some pretty and fashionable photos.





Leopard prints for this winter!






Love this dress so much because the cutting made me look real SLIM


Gonna update my blog more frequent. So STAY TUNED!

Reunion Dinner 2012

Chinese New Year won't be complete without reunion dinners. This is an important part of the Chinese traditions that helps keep the family bonded.


This year I did not help in the kitchen because of my big stomach and I can hardly stand for more than 15 minutes. However, I did snap some photos when my mom-in-law was preparing the delicious typical CNY dishes.



Giant prawns. My favourite!



Abalone. Used to make soup and to cook with the sea cucumber.



Double-boiling the homemade "Buddha Jump Over the Wall"



Braised sea cucumber with abalone and mushroom



Stewed Hakka Fried Pork Belly With Black Fungus



Steamed prawn with ginger and wine. Really love my mom-in-law's recipe. Best steamed prawn ever!



Homemade "Buddha Jump Over the Wall" served!!! Super tasty!



My first Yee Sang for the year! Huat ar!



As the year of the dragon begins, let us spread our love to everyone surrounding us.

Wish you all Gong Xi Fa Cai and may this dragon year bring good health, prosperity and happiness \(^•^)/

CNY Shopping Haul

Chinese New Year is just around the corner, I'm sure most of you have done your CNY shopping.


Just to share my CNY purchase with you all.


HANDBAGS


CNY must have red clothes and this year I also bought a red tote from Carlo Rino!



A casual silver shopping bag. Easily matched with any outfits.



JEWELRIES


New necklace! Don't know why I really like to buy necklaces recently.



Another dazzling piece of jewelry, Swazroski element crystal necklace.



Lovely vintage necklaces with sparkling crystal



STORAGE ITEM


My new headband stand!



It's still not enough for me to put all my headbands :(



ARTIFICIAL NAIL SETS


Since pregnant lady gotta stay away from nail polish, I purposely bought a few sets of artificial nail sets for CNY. They are cheap, easy to apply and remove! Most importantly is my nails can be "leng leng" during CNY.



White lace princess



Pink and black polka dots with ribbon. Sweet!



Cute bear and candy set



Vivi inspired modern nail art



I'm so excited!!! Really super love all the designs!



BIRD NEST


Due to the bad experience with Eu Yan Sang that I mentioned in the previous post, I changed my bird nest supplier to Hockhua, a Singapore company, which is also famous for its bird nest. They also won the Singapore's Choice SUPERBRAND 2011. So I have no doubt on their bird nest's quality.



Instant bird nest drink



See the bird nest content!



Instant bird nest drink again. But this is smaller bottle type.



This one contains less bird nest.



This is the premium instant bird nest drink from Hockhua.



That's why it's premium. FULL bottle! Can you see the big pieces of bird nest!!! Super super love this.



Freeze-dried bird nest, a gift from my hubby, for me and our baby.



CNY Gifts for our loved one


They are for parents and siblings.


This year I'm going to enjoy my long long holiday during CNY. Yeah, started my maternity leave and will be back to work on April.


Will spend almost all my time sitting at home during CNY to wait for my baby to meet this beautiful world. Finger crossed!
