Jamie hugged my tummy and said,'hi didi! You go to school together with me ok?' then she looked at me and said,'Mummy, if didi throw toys on the floor, I will help him pick them up.' Sweetie jiejie!!!

Went for gynae checkup becoz of dizzy spells and nauseous.
Hubby and Jamie picked me up after my gynae checkup.

Jamie (looking concerned): Mummy, how are u?
Mummy: Jamie, Mummy and didi are sick again :(
Jamie (patted and hugged my tummy; then folding her arms and looking away) humph! Mummy, why you go work? You are not resting so u sick!

Sigh.. Kena scolded by my daughter... I think she really loves her didi and they seem to b able to 'communicate' with each other :)

Last night:
Jamie: Mummy, I don't want to go to school.

Mummy: why Jamie?

Jamie: becoz I am bored in the car. Only have baba one person.

She means usually I will b in the car to bring her to school becoz her sch is at my workplace. But I guess kids are always in dilemma.

Today she came home:

Mummy: Jamie, Mummy gg to work on Thursday!

Jamie: No, Mummy! U cannot go to work!
Mummy: why Jamie?

Jamie: because didi is so big already! U need to stay at home and 'take care' of didi!

After she finished, she gave my tummy (aka didi) a big hug and say 'didi, I love you! How are u?'

She is really very sweet ^^

My Princess' Big Three Parties

I guess, for all mummies, the biggest event of the year (apart from Chinese New Year or Xmas etc), should be the children's birthday parties. It goes the same for me too :) Jamie's birthday is in November and I usually start planning in September. However, I started a bit later in my planning for her Big Three this year. Due to James, we even decided to down-size the usual guestlist and limit this year's guestlist to only immediate family members and few close friends/neighbours. I guess for children parties, the most important guests are Jamie's cousins and friends :) School Party is something we cannot do without. Every child waited a whole year for their turns to celebrate in school and show to every friend their beautiful birthday cake ^^ And of coz the super goodie bags too :) This year, we got Jamie involved in packing the goodie bags and she really had a good time packing them and of coz tasting the goodies too :P

Cake choosing was tough too and I took up to 2 weeks to finally select two cake designs to customise. Really glad Jamie loves the cakes :) This year, my tummy became a distraction to the other children too. They took turns to poke my tummy and asked what's in it. Protective Big Sis Jamie buzzed around to get their hands off my tummy and said, 'That's my didi, okay!' So cute ^^ I hope she remains protective when didi is born :)

Down-sizing the home party was really a good idea. Not only I have less logistics to manage, I also had more times to mingle among my friends and family members. Jamie enjoyed herself too coz all the children-guests were familiar faces whom she had played with before. Am happy the kids love the kids' play areas.

Thank you everyone who attended the event too :) Your presence had made this event special and meaningful to Jamie and us :) Hope to see you again during James' full month ^^

Jamie came home one day and looked at my tummy. She then walked around looking stern. I wondered what's wrong.
Suddenly she turned around and said,'mummy, didi is so big! How are u going to take care of didi?'
Oh manz...what's gg on in this 3 years old little girl's head?

Bedrest for a week...

Sigh.. I started to bleed again..

I really freaked out on Monday (14/11) when I saw the fresh red blood in the tissue paper! All the drama series with miscarriage scenes suddenly just appeared before my eyes...

I could not get through my Laogong's Hp nor my girlfriends'. I could not even get a taxi to bring me to TMC!

I panicked and suddenly I remember my dear mummy. Someone whom I had always been loggerhead with but yet never fails to lend me a hand when I ask for one. The next thing that happened was my brother arriving in 20 min and he flew me to TMC. Though my brother is always a man with few words, I know he really cares for me in his own ways :)

Laogong joined us at TMC and was mad that I was made to wait for more than an hour. He dashed to the nurses and asked for assistance. The nurses sent me for CTG and my gynae gave me a checkup over there. I was glad to know I was fine and placenta was not bleeding. But gynae felt that I seriously need to bedrest and to be observed again after a week.

I didn't really understand the cause of the bleeding and did my own research.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antepartum_haemorrhage#section_2

It seems not uncommon and there were a few reasons for the bleeding. Only thing I remember gynae said was, James seems a bit impatient and too active.

I heard that there were MTBs required to bedrest few months till delivery! Oh my! I really cannot afford that much of rest. I need to b back at work. Hence I tell myself to rest well this week so that I can b back at work soon...

And of coz I kept nagging at James to be patient and wait a few more weeks till he is full term, otherwise we would be blown off by the 5 digits medical bills too...

What's for Dinner Today?

In the hope to keep up with my blogging, I am adding in more 'Talking Points'!

One of which will be Makan Thrills - 'What's for Dinner Today?!' Will share about all the nice home-cook food or nice restaurants I visit ;) And of coz will take and post lots of nice photos on-the-go!!! So sit back and enjoy the yummy photos ^^

So what am I having for dinner tonight? Thanks to the bad jam, I am only having dinner now :( But what's in front of me really cheers me up!

Ta-Da!!! Home Made Kuay Chap!!! Thanks to my clever helper who likes to try new recipes whenever I bring her to try different food :D

I can see eggs, Tao pok, pork and pig small intestines!!! She said big intestines is too expensive ($7 for a small palm size) so she didn't buy this round... Hope I try it with the big intestines next time ^^

Yummy! 我开动了!

New iPhone game indulgence - Hello Cappuccino

Lately quite crazy over this 'new' iPhone game, recommended by one of my work Besties! It's called Hello Cappuccino and is those standard cafe game where you click to make some recipe within few seconds to few hours and only need to go back to check it after the time is up.

But I think the graphic is really pretty and it fulfilled our dream of Owning a cafe, virtually ^^

Impatient as usual, I 'cheated' and bought the 'coffee beans' so I can cook high profit recipes for better revenues ^^ see my pretty cafe!!!!
