iSpot - Yummy Low Fat Yogurt Icecream~!!!

My hubby very poor thing, it was another burnt Saturday for him Today. Last weekend, he had to be at his students' CCA's events too. And Today he had to stay in NTU the whole day for class and his FYP project :(

So had to make plan for Today lor...

Went out for K-lunch with my friend, Qiuling at AMK Central till 2pm. We had teabreak at J8 Dessert Stall at 3.30pm - Carrot Cake + Chee Cheong Fun + Cold White Fungus with Pumpkin. Had Laksa Yong Tau Fu dinner at J8 Foodcourt at 5.30pm. Last but not least, Yammi Yogurt for Dessert at 7pm... Hehehe...

Didn't take many photos because Qiuling is a bit camera shy :P So took it during our Teabreak only... Heehee... the chee cheong fun and carrot cake are really NICE leh ^^







But hor, that's not what I want to introduce to you all lah...

My very sweet hubby offered to gave us a lift home at about 8pm. And we went to do some grocery shopping at NTUC before he reached J8. I found this very yummy looking Yogurt Icecream in NTUC... It looked like this...





When I bought it, I was mainly attracted to its colourful packaging. And it was my first time to see a Yogurt Icecream ^^

And hor, guess what?! Me and my hubby finished the whole tub in 30 minutes!!!

Now you see it, now you don't~!!!





How big is the tub ah? Hmmm.. it's the size of the ben and jerry icecream tub. Per tub is for 4 servings... Hehehe...

What's good about it?! Hmmm it's unlike the usual sweet creamy icecream nor the soury sorbet yogurt... It's just nice lor... I chose the peach favour and it comes with bits of peaches~!!! There are other favours like blueberry, strawberry, mango etc. And one tub is about $5.95 only. And it melts in my mouth ^^

And it's LOW FAT~!!! Just 90 calories per serving, meaning whole tub is only 360 calories~!!! Yum yum yum...

Ehhh... it's not an advertorial or commercial I am writing lah... kekeke... it's just a new product I discovered~!!! Thought it's will be very interesting to share some of the new products I notice when I go shopping or when I am browsing the various magazines (since I am so free, anyway :X). They can be food, fashion items or IT products... etc.

Okay lah, maybe it's not THAT NEW to some other readers lah... But then New to me lor :P

Anyway, Go buy a tub and tell me if you think it is Nice k?!!

36th Week Checkup...

Just had my supper~!!!

After getting something from my brother, my hubby and I headed towards Chong Pang Nasi Lemak for supper!!! I ordered too much~~~ Heehee... I ordered Chicken Wings, Otak, Ikan Bilis with peanuts, fried eggs and curry vegetables~~~ Hehehe...

Yummy...

It's to celebrate my little weight gain for these two weeks :P

I even had Swenson Fish and Chip for dinner at 4.30pm just now after the gynae checkup :P heehee...

Yea! I gained only 400g for the last two weeks, while my ger ger gained 500g... She is 2.7kg now and me 62.9kg... Not bad hor... I gained only 10kg so far ^^ A good weight gain... Think my ger ger will be around 3.2kg by the time she is born.

Hmmm.. but one thing is, she is still in her notti beech position :( Gynae tried to turn her again but well... I think she turned back herself liao...Like my gynae said, my baby is a notti baby...

kekeke... but I guess it's coz she has a rebellious daddy and mummy lor :P So no choice... Heehee...

Gynae said I have two more weeks before I need to make the decision whether to C-sec before the due date or continue to wait for the due date to see if there will be a miracle that Jamie will turn over on her own.

Hmmm.. Lets pray hard that Jamie will decide to turn over on her own within these two weeks ^^

Another Feast...

Went to meet PJ today for lunch.

This girl hor, is so difficult to book!!! She is always so busy with work! Hence when she said she is free, I am more than happy to make time for her.

Hee, but I realized all my friends are really sweet. They are always worried about whether I can walk long, or whether I can tahan the weather etc. And they will slow down their walking pace for my sake.

I hope I am not someone boring to hangout with :(

Went for Kushinbo Buffet Lunch today!!!

Frankly, it is such a luxury for me now to eat Kushinbo, but I guess I have a good excuse to feast now... Quite sick of porridge everyday for lunch... And also, I really need a breather before I become more senile. Just want to go out more when I can lor.

And these days, I am really bored at home :( sob... my hubby is always sleeping after he got home from work... haizzz... But then he is working hard now for our future mah... and coz I am not working :( Haizz.. so I cannot complain about it too...

Anyway, share some photos I took today ^^

Haven't updated my latest pictures too. This week is my 36th week... See how big my tummy is~~~







Ehh.. I think I saw a Pig Foot...

Had been looking at this Right Foot of mine for a few days. And been wondering if it is swollen...

Hmmm...

I heard that normally towards the end of the pregnancy, the mummy's feet will tend to swell... But hor, the weird thing is, it seems to swell on only the right foot!!!

I had always been a skinny feet girl and my shoe size is 4.5... So Small right? That's why I feel that something is wrong with my right foot :P I showed my hubby and he said 'yaa.. it looks a bit swollen...'

Heehee, why not you all tell me if it is really swollen...

Hurray! Finished the First Appointment today~~~

Went for the first appointment this morning for the one and only property case I did this year...

Hehehe, everything went well and was very glad my mentor came down to help me. Was kinda of lost since it's my first (and only) case.

And he will be helping me for the Completion of this sale, since I should be delivering soon... Really thank him for helping me so much...and taking time off to guide me...

Frankly, I am still thinking what should I be doing next year... as much as I know I need some fixed income, but sometimes I will feel isn't it wasteful to just give up like that. Up to now, I still have no answer...

And I have to share this secret with you all. After staying home for so many months... I actually felt scared to go for interviews and to go meet new people again. Sad right?! But then, my hubby has great faith in me and think it would not be too difficult for me to get a job with reasonable pay.

Well, I really don't know.

For now, I think it will be nice for Jamie to be born earlier so that there is someone or some thing to entertain me during my lonely days... Lately, my hubby had been very busy at work and I felt neglected. However, I guess I had already expected him to be busy during every Mar-May and Sep-Nov... So I just have to entertain myself somehow.

This week I will be going out quite a bit while I still can. Walk more when I can...

Oh yaa.. wanted to take cab today to TPY HDB HUB but then ended up it was the morning peak hours and I ended up taking the bus instead. Not too bad actually. hehehe... save money also ^^

Shorter Sleeping Hours...

Guess what?

I woke up at 8plus today :(

I slept at 2plus last night.

However, I realised it was a deep sleep. I didn't even hear my hubby's alarm clock rang and I didn't know what time he left home to school.

Wonder if it is a good thing or not.

Does that mean I won't be able to hear Jamie's cry then?

I doubt so leh, coz she will be in the same room as me, together with the Confinement Lady as well. She will confirm wake me up when Jamie cries right? Hmmm...

Anyhow, I am really amused by those who are breastfeeding well. Guess it has become an issue for many mummies to worry about not enough breast milk for the baby. Same for me.

I hope my ger has enough to drink. Of coz, I bought the formula milk to standby. However, I still hope I can total breastfeed if possible. Breastfeeding is something so natural. Hence it's every mum's dream to be a 'cow' and able to satisfied their babies' desire.

But I guess, it is again something we cannot control but yet can do our best. That's why we invest in such expensive breastpump mah~!!! Hahaha... But of coz latching is the best lah ^^ But better than don't have :P

To Walk or Not To Walk...

Went out again on Thursday...

Managed to pack all the parcels on Wednesday night. Then dragged them to TPY Singpost to send out. Biz considered not bad for this two months, but I doubt it will solve the financial problem still. Nevertheless, it at least kept me busy and not senile :P

Anyway, after sending the items out, I went to walk walk around TPY, had my Long-Craved Kway Chap lunch and did some shopping at Watsons.

But in 2 hours time, I felt very giddy... and weak.

I had initially wanted to take MRT to Khatib and walked to my cousin's house. But I doubt then. And decided to take a cab to her house instead.

Sighh..

So how? To Walk or Not to Walk? It seem that I can't walk very much also. I checked with my gynae before and she said it's becoz of my low blood pressure. But yet I still need to walk often, because it helps in delivery. And I really really hope my baby will head down soon :(

Haizzz...

Been checking out the maternity package for TMC - natural delivery vs c-sec. As much as I don't wish to go for c-sec, I realised sometimes it is not within our control to choose what type of delivery we want. Sighh..Maybe I should just let it be.

Had a good day with my cousin, Kherray and her boy Kayden... He is sooo cute lor! I like the way he looked at me as I talked to Kherray. So sweet... It makes me look forward to my Jamie' arrival once again...

Anyway, I had decided on Jamie's Chinese Name :P hehehe...

Stay Tune ^^ After I get my Inlaws' approval then can announce it :)

5 weeks more... Hohoho...

A Day Out...And Last Bit of Shopping (I hope...)

Heehee, I very guai leh.

Coz yesterday Rachel told me I should walk more to aid baby in heading down and exercise my pelvic muscles, and today I was out the whole day.

I had lunch at China Square with my 'sister' Xia at 1pm. Then I walked to Raffles Place mrt and took a train to PS to meet my friend for teabreak (TCC) at 2pm. Then I shopped around PS and took the train to Cityhall to meet another friend for Dinner (Mos Burger).

Woo.. I did my last bit of shopping (I hope...) and I think I can arrange everything nicely by end of this week~!!! Heehee... so exciting...

After that, I can go out for makans and walk around at ease ^^ And wait for baby's arrival... I guess this is my 'best' moments though I am getting cramps and giddiness as I walked. Hope to meet up more friends for makans and catch up before Jamie arrive. Coz I know it will mean no meet up for next 6 months liao :(

2nd Last Bit of Shopping to Do~~~

Today's visiting from my mother was quite irritating. She came at a most 'weird' hours which caused us not being able to do much of anything in the day. But I was glad some more clearing could be done in the house, especially the living rooom.

But I had to be thankful for the items brought over by her, which are gifts from my da sao. I finally getting ALMOST ready... Now the bottle steam sterilizer is with me, with some bottles for drinking milk/water. More bra pads, 1 DOM and 1 Martel for my Confinement Food, 1 set of new baby clothes, face towels and baby socks~!!! I think I will get some more baby wipes too :)

Rachel will be passing me the Breast Pump tomorrow. Hurray!!! Oh yaa, did I mention, I ordered Medela PISA from USA and it costs only S$380 including shipment~~~ Compared to the S$799 in the retail shops in Singapore... And I will get a handsfree for the pump which will make it possible for me to pump and use my laptop at the same time. Hee, but it will mean I must find a way to use the Lappy in the bedroom so I can pump and chat :P hahaha...

I did my 2nd Last Bit of Shopping just now as well. Bought the standby milk powder, disposable diapers, Ru Yi You, Johnson Baby Shampoo and Baby Shower Gel, Safety Pins, Cotton Balls etc...

There is not much left to buy I think. Will need to take a look at my shopping list and see what else I need ^^ So Happy~!!! Will pack up the room abit more and then put the items to be used in the respective places...Yeahhh :)

Feel really good to have done so much~!!! And then I feel that I am less worried everyday about not being very ready... It's like I won't even mind if Baby comes in 2 weeks time ^^ But then after being so ready for the Baby, Maybe I can do some other things like packing my wardrobe ^^ And throwing or putting away clothes I don't wear anymore or seldom wear...

Closer to the date, I think I will start sterilizing all my bottles...

Hee... Okok, I am all very excited ^^ Update you all more tomorrow ^^

Makeover of Our Room (Phase Two) - Almost Done!!!

Not only did I finish packing the Hospital Bag, but also my hubby managed to makeover our room in just two hours~!!!

Finally we moved the baby cot into the bedroom and moved out the study desk... And tidied up the cupboards that remained in the room. And not forgetting, we moved in the baby drawer too~!!! Yeahhh... Finally, it's almost done~!!!

This is how our room looks like two hours ago...



And this is how it looks like now...





We can even accommodate a mattress for the confinement lady next to the baby cot, so that she can share the bedroom with us. It had been a discussion topic for sometimes as my inlaws are worried the confinement lady will not be able to attend to the baby in time, if she has to sleep in another room. Now that we have a space for her to sleep beside the cot, I guess all the worries are solved.

However, we have to admit that putting the study table in the living room will mean eating into the inlaws' space. But it also create a corner to put the baby bottle steamer (steriliser) and other baby things ^^

I guess everyone has to play a part in making space for this additional member into the family :D But hor, I think now it's great that we can use PC and watch TV at the same time :P hahaha... but just that, there is no aircon in the living room, so I need the fan to blast at me continuously :P

Yeahh~!!! Think the whole makeover will be finished in the next 2 weeks where I will put the bedsheet for the mattress and the pillow case for the pillows etc ^^ And most importantly, clean the fan above the baby cot :D So Happy~!!! And We are ALL ready for baby.

And hor, I think Jamie was very excited when she knows her daddy was making over the room for her just now. She kept kicking me non-stop~!!!

Jamie's Little Prank...

I think my waterbag didn't burst lah. 2 days liao and Nothing Happened so far...I guess it's just my Jamie's little prank on her daddy and mummy.

But at least it works in a way. We are almost ready liao. Her baby cot already standing in the living room. Her bedsheets and pillow case washed. I had packed my hospital bag. Left some items to add in only.

And most likely, we will be shifting the table and the cupboards and the bed. And build her tiny cosy corner for her by this weekend. Aiyoh... but at the same time, I also chatted with her lah and asked her to guai guai turn around lor. Haizz..

Quite worried I may end up doing C-sec... coz I very much wish to do the natural delivery since I may only have one child. At least currently, that is what we had decided. If we ever have another child, should be 4 years later, after we settled down with our new house and stabilizing our finances...

Well, but maybe I should be mentally prepared for the worst. I may have to undergo C-Sec plus having a pre-mature baby... Haizzz... Maybe sometimes it's good to lower our expectations to avoid disappointment.

Anyway, sometimes such things aren't within our control. We can only pray and wish for the best lor.

Frankly hor, sometimes I feel very sad because I felt deprived. It was a wrong decision to quit MCYS but then like my hubby said, sometimes we never know. Having a baby was decided before deciding to quit MCYS job for the property venture. "IF we would have known that the success rate of having a baby is so high..." (hahaha...) He wouldn't have let me quit MCYS. And vice versa, we could have put a stop in time for the baby planning if I had wanted to go into property. But well, the baby making success rate was so HIGH that we could not put a stop in time to the baby planning after I decided to venture into property, nor can change my mind to renew my MCYS contract. Sighhh...

I guess it must be a punishment for me. I did not earn much from property because of all the pregnancy issues and worse... I felt very abused by the baby. I didn't enjoy my pregnancy at all. Many mummies had envied me for being able to bedrest at home when I am not well. Frankly, I rather not be bedresting... It's a 手停,口停 theory...

Even though, my hubby's income can sustain our livelihood. But then, it's always more enjoyable when you have money to spare. We are practically counting every coin we can spare for the baby and the after-baby period...

Sighh, so sad right? It's always good to really enjoy the pregnancy and welcome the baby happily... I hope I can do so, towards the end...

Really hope we can make ends meet. My hubby said we definitely can make it~ It's just the level of expectations lor... And also we should just believe we are experiencing 先苦后甜 now since instead of focusing on career and personal pleasure, we are already building a home, married and have a baby - the 3 money-killing period...

So hopefully when others are 'suffering' our current fate, we had already recuperate our wealth and leading a carefree life :P

He is very positive right? But I believe in what he says... Coz he is always right :) He could have made a different decision earlier on, even though he knew the consequences. But then, I guess he loves me too much to stop me from doing what I want. After all, it's always good to learn my own lessons in my own way. Really thankful to have him around. Coz he always make sure I never have to worry too much about anything... I guess it's what all women wish from a man... To feel safe and protected in his arms ^^ Hehehe...

OMG... Did my waterbag just burst?!!

My hubby was telling me that he had allocated time to build Jamie's Cot today and went to the living room happily to look at how the bed can be assembled. And I managed to send the bedsheet and pillow cases, jamie's new clothes and my pjyamas to wash also.

Then I told Jamie, 'See...daddy is building your bed now, you got to faster turn and be ready k?' Next thing I know is Jamie sent me a super kick~~~ And that's not all...

I suddenly felt a gush of water... It really freaked me out. I ran to the toilet to check and realised there was a urine-like warm liquid on the panty liner... But it wasn't very much. But I felt very disturbed.

I checked with a friend and she told me the waterbag water is like urine (liquid)... But the last I heard from another friend is like sperm (sticky)... I am so confused now...

Arghhh...

Okok, I am going to calm down. But I will definitely get everything ready tomorrow. Clear my things, packed the hospital bag... So that the baby bed can come in. Arghh.. and How to tell my MIL to faster wash the bedsheet and pillow case??? Oh No... I shouldn't have done all these so last minute...

Lets pray I am only imagining things. Will check again tomorrow...and update you all k?

Relaxing Day with My 'Sisters'...

Since Wenwen is having her compliance leave from today onwards, we decided to pay Xiaxia a visit at her workplace and have lunch with her. But hor, that naughty girl~ Don't know how to take care of herself and always make us worry for her...

Xiaxia is down with food poisoning since the day we had BBQ and I was so worried she ended up like me. So I told her to see the doctor asap. But then, she said she had to rush some audit work for her boss so ended up drag till yesterday then 甘愿 see doctor. What worse, doc gave her MC for today and she still went to work~!!! I mean if the doc gave MC, means it is quite serious right? Sighh... That girl hor... *shakes head* 说不过她~ So we, the two 姐姐 decided to pay her a visit and had lunch with her.

That girl hor, very smart... She chose my favourite Ramen restaurant 别府, so that I would be too busy eating and not much time to nag at her. We had a good lunch, chatted a lot and of coz I had my favourite Fried Chicken Ramen with 'two-chilli'. This restaurant is famous for the nine levels of chilli challenge and so far, the furthest I tried was forth chilli few years back. But these days, I am happy with just two chilli. Hahaha...

After lunch, Wenwen and I went to Bugis Junction BHG to do a QUICK shopping~ Yaa.. It was a very QUICK shopping. We were focus and made quick decisions on which new clothes to get for Jamie's going home (from hospital) clothes and her first month celebration clothes. Woo.. they are so cute~~~ And there was a good discount at BHG ^^

I must say hor, till now I feel that Bugis Junction BHG children's section is the best for mummies to have a relaxing and yet fulfilling shopping. Not only it is BIG but there are a good varieties of items as well. I visited a few other department stores and had yet to find such comprehensive collections of items.

Let me know if there are better places to shop for baby items k? I haven't tried Tangs and Taka though. Wonder if they have a comprehensive collection too.

Anyway, after the quick (maybe 30min) shopping, we bought some teabreak snacks - beard papa and chewy junior and headed back to Wenwen's house. We had milo and our snacks. And then it's nap time~!!! Yeahhh, we woke up at 6.30pm to look for dinner.

Wow... very simple day together but yet I had so much fun~~~

Yeah, I agree, it's really who you are spending your day with and not what you are doing that matter most... It was a relaxing day with my 姐妹 and it 胜过 whatever fanciful activities we can do together lor...

So envious that Wenwen is going to BKK and TW~!!! Hope I can plan some trip with my 姐妹 next year... maybe June onwards, when Jamie is older...

34th Week Gynae Checkup

This morning gynae called me and said I can go for my checkup today because the clinic will be very packed on Friday (Saturday is a public holiday).

So I went. Sob... I waited for close to 3hrs... but well, at least I don't have to go on Friday...

Guess what?! I put on 1.8kg in the last 2 weeks~!!! OMG~!!! I wonder what happened to me~~~ What did I eat? I don't remember eating too much leh... Unless it was the 3 mcdonalds suppers + the mooncakes + the 2 days of feasting :X Oops... But still, can't be possible :( Sob...

Anyway, Jamie is now 2.23kg~!!! She gained a good 400g too ^^ Woo... We had good food since I got out from the hospital :P hahaha... I hope it's not because she is getting a bit too big which results in her stuck in her current position.

Doc said she is still very comfy in her beech position, which means heads up with her legs sticking into my uterus... which is bad... If her legs are going to get stuck in my uterus, it will mean it will be almost impossible to flip her over.

Sighh.. The gynae had a battle with stubborn Jamie for a while just now and attempted to turn Jamie around. However, Jamie fought back fiercely and eventually the gynae only managed to turn her a bit :( She is still in her beech position... Sighhh...

Think I need to chat with Jamie more everyday liao... If she is those stubborn kid (like me and my hubby) who 吃软不吃硬, then I need to chat with her more to get her to move on her own liao. Aiyohhh... My cheeky little daughter... headache ah...

What a pity, we went IKEA for dinner just now and I forgot to bring my camera along so no photo taking today :( We bought the baby cot for $79 (60cm x 120cm) and a spring mattress of the same size at $69. We got her bedsheets also. Well, think we can set everything up for her soon and let her know that as well. I guess she may be aware daddy and mummy are not ready yet so she is taking her own sweet time to get ready as well. Babies nowadays are so smart, so we never know really ^^

Yea, hope very soon I can take a picture of my baby's corner ^^

Hohoho.. So happening for the last 4 weeks right?!! Yeahhh, I was thinking since I can move around now so better move around more~!!! Before I cannot go out anymore when closer to my delivery. And worse hor, I will be 'locked in' for the first few months till CNY I think. Sob Sob...

However, I will be looking forward to slowly adjusting back to my normal life again.. And get back to work after CNY 2010... Hope things will go on as planned ^^

This Friday will be my next gynae checkup. For the last 2nd month, the gynae checkup will be fortnightly. And for the last month, it will be weekly~!!! Wow.. so fast hor... after this checkup, from my next checkup onwards, it will be weekly already~~~

Update ya more photos after this Friday's checkup ^^

BBQ with my Sisterhood (111009)


Like mentioned, I had BBQ session with my Sisterhood, Xiaxia and Wenwen yesterday. We promised to meet once a month for a 'key event' and we can also have occasional dinners together when any of us are free.

Really appreciate all the effort two of them are putting in so that we can meet as much as possible. Other than meeting up often, we had also been updating each other on what we do everyday via emails...

I guess it's really not easy to maintain such sisterhood and I am so happy and glad to know them and have them as my 'sisters'...





Heehee, I think the best part of BBQ, other than setting up the fire, is the buying of the food. We also enjoyed going around the supermarket together and grabbing the food... And we always tend to over-buy certain food...ARGHHH.. This time round... it's HOTDOGS... again..



See the enormous among of HOTDOGS we bought... which we eventually had to each force the remaining into our tummy... hahaha...

Ohh yaa, if you notice Haohao and Meimei did not attend the BBQ outing. Because they are happily touring in Japan now~!!! How envious... soon it will be Wenwen's turn to go for her holidays and then Xiaxia... sob... Hope next year I can travel too...

But then, I must say, we are Happy to have Charleen and Alan attended our BBQ. It had been a long time since she was able to participate in any of our outings. And initially she was not able to join us. But I guess it's God's Will that eventually she can join us ^^

It had been quite sometime since we had her around, and it's normal to feel distant. But I believe if she is able to catch up more on the missing memories, soon we may be like before ^^



I think that day Alan enjoyed himself the most, because he was the first to volunteer to set up the fire, and then he occupied himself the whole day bbqing for us to eat~!!! Wahhh... really like a big chef and big korkor (yaa, he is the oldest among us ^^)... Thanks Alan :) And I am happy to see Charleen and Alan so happily together... Had been so worried about this two 'kids' and finally we received great news of them getting married on 6th Jan 2010. And they would be getting their new hse keys in November 09. Wow.. wat a rush, but really Happy for them :)









And talking about their phototaking session for the bridal studio... reminds me of the time we took ours... it's like an excursion manz.. so fun ^^ But tiring day of coz... But fun, which matter most ^^

The weather was really great yesterday. It was humid and hot before 3pm. And wenwen and me just nua-ed around and refused to move our buttocks.. Lucky xiaxia was busy and can only meet us at 3pm. So at 2.45pm, we finally get out of the house to take a cab to Parkway Parade to meet xiaxia to buy the food. And by the time we reached the pit at 5plus, the weather is SOOO good.. windy and not sunny~!!! So Lucky... It was raining heavily on Sat and I was praying for a good weather yesterday and Yeah! We were lucky ^^



See the peaceful scenery...

Last but not least, Group Photos time ^^



And of coz my photo with my hubby ^^

Claris actual 1st year birthday is supposed to be tomorrow = 13th October 09. However because it is not on a weekend, so we celebrated on 10th October 09 instead :)

She wore a lovely dress and a lovely shoe for her birthday party~!!!

Ta-da~!!! This is my lovely cute little niece. I love her so much~!!!



And see how much she loves my Jamie...She always sayang my tummy when I asked her where is mei-mei (sister)...



Actually I always think we look quite alike leh... Hahaha... I hope my baby Jamie will be as cute as baby Claris ^^



Hee... See some of the candid shots my hubby took of Claris while she explored and examined the new things she found lying on the floor... I think she will be an engineer like her mummy~!!! ^^











More candid shoots of her trying to understand how to move the toy car... see her deep in thoughts and her smirk smiles... hahaha...











And when it is time for singing the birthday song... we crowded around the very yummy and beautiful cake... so sweet... so girly... nice...We gathered for the family photo taking...
