My 1st Cooking Class!

Ever since my secondary home econ dayz, i never attended any cooking class any more..and i really missed those dayz when i learnt cooking together with my frenz in class..

Last wed, despite the fact that i'm still kinda sick, yet to fully recovered, i attended my 1st cooking class since i graduated. Daphne jio me to join her & yuying to a cooking class that they jz joined lately.

Well, i'm going to be a mummy soon & since my cooking skills not good at all..is TIME for me to pick up some basic skills. Moreover, the class is located at bugis, accessible from my home. V convenient for a preggy woman to travel indeed.

This 2hr lesson focus on making dim sum (Xiao Long Bao, Almond Prawn Ball & Banana/Mango + Prawn Fritters). Yummy yummy!

We get to hands-on making Xiao Long Bao..see how enthusiastic Yuying was learning from our teacher..haha!


These xiao long bao were made by our teacher...not us...hee..ours were v ugly la...hee! ;p


Here's the deep fried almond prawn ball!


Yeah, lesson ended! I'm going to dabao the banana+prawn fritters & the almond prawn ball back for my hubby to try!!

Fairytale Fantasy?!!

3 couples were planning to go to their baby's Fairytale Fantasy on a Good Friday...that's me & my hubby, Tracy & Philip, Rina, Anthony & cute little Jerral!

We went to expo early afternoon with the hope of 'Shop til we drop'..see how enthusiastic two mummies-to-be were looking forward to!


To our dismay..after we walked one round of expo hall...we were utterly disappointed!

The variety & range of products were very limited..haiz. Moreover the fair was more suitable for toddlers rather than newborns. Rina had bought several things for her 9 mths old Jerral. Tracy & I realised this fair was not reali suitable for preggy women like us..haha..

Lucky i managed to get Mustela Stretch Marks Double Action @ quite a good discount as compared to the regular price @ shopping malls. This brand is intro by tracy as the smell is quite light & nice. Preggy women r kinda sensitive to strong smell..hee..


Tracy & philip went off early to Changi T3 & hv fun since there's not much to shop @ expo. Rina's family, my hubby & i continued to shop awhile & proceed to BK to makan. To my surprise, little Jerral love to eat fries! Oh my..so cute!!

After filling up our stomach, we went to the book fair @ expo. Is much more fulfilling than the baby fair indeed.

See what i have choose for my hubby! A confinement cookbook! A hint for HIM to start learning these dishes & cook for his wei da laopo, ME!


Having been searching for baby posters for quite awhile. Have oredi bought one @ kiddy..not v cute..

Finally we got to find cute baby posters @ this fair..my hubby & i spend time choosing two posters that we loved most! Izzit cute?? hee..



Rina & I did not leave the fair empty handed..we all get what we like & go home happily thereafter...wow..it had been a long day afterall...

First Mum's Congress!

This is my 1st time attending a baby talk! I get to know of this through CH 8 advertisement. Seems interesting so i went online to know more in the middle of the nite. Actually was kinda last min coz the talk held on the day after..worried that i might miss it, I registered and make online payment immediately! Wanna jio my dear ah huay & her hubby along to go wif me..but i totally forgot about it the very next day i woke up..feel quite bad abt it..by default i oredi v forgetful..seems like it get worse after i preggy..oh no..


This talk was held at Sheraton Towers Hotel..many pregnant couples & families wif kids attended this talk. Was it due to the contents of the talk, the items they selling @ discount, the mediacorp artistes, the refreshments that hotel provided or the free goodie bag?! haha..who cares..


Many ppl busy queueing up to buy diapers (mamy poker), milk powder (similac), baby/preggy course (shichida) to get good discount..too bad i oni 4mths preggy, too early to buy for my dear bb..

Very obvious this is the major sponsor for the talk...haha..


Initially we intended to leave immediately after the talk, luckily we stayed awhile more & i got to take a pix with Ah Jie! She is one of main factor y i wanna attend this talk. Look at me...getting fat & ugly..sobz...


Ivy & Zoe shared their 'mummy' experiences with us at the talk..too bad the sharing session was kinda short. Ivy din reali talk much, seems unprepared for this session.


Wow! The world is small!! We saw Angeline, my Europe kakis & her sis at the talk too..so qiao! A year back, we were planning to make a baby in Europe!! hee...though we din succeed then. We r now preggy almost at the same timing, she's 2 weeks earlier than me!


Here's our goodie bags!!


Yeah! Zoe signed on my baby guide!! That's the most rewarding gift for this talk! Ha!

I'm Sick!!

Over the weekend, i'm forced to go back to m'sia cos my mum & hubby gotta go back to pray my ancestors due to QING MING JIE & they REFUSED to let to stay alone in S'pore as they think is dangerous for a preggy to live alone w/o family members around. They NEVER expect is actually much better to just lock me up in S'pore rather than FORCING me to go back with them..

Maybe due to insufficient SLEEP, long hrs of travelling in a car & SUPER HOT weather in M'sia, i start getting unwell. I felt a sharp pain in my throat...likely due to dehydration..coz preggy woman always find toilet so i dare not drink much water during my trip with the worry of getting jam @ the custom due to Mas Selamat (luckily nvr jam coz we kiasu,start off v early) and scare that i always need to pee while my hubby drove along the highway.

I got worse when i reached M'sia. I took a nap ard 2pm in our bedroom, unexpectantly the room was super stuffy & HOT, i felt like a BBQ pig inside the room. But i'm too tired & desperate for a rest after 5hrs of travelling. End up, i started to get bad sorethroat, terrible headache & minor flu.

Later in the evening, the weather CHANGED! There was super heavy rain & i'm v cold indeed. Despite the weather, I gotta go out for dinner with my family. my god..my flu worsen & start to get bodyache in the middle of the nite.

Next day(Sun), we gotta travel back to S'pore...ANOTHER 5 hrs journey to SUFFER!! By the time we reached S'pore, im totally SHACK..can u imagine a preggy woman gotta travel a total of 10 hrs journey in a car in less than 36hrs (1 and a half day trip) and suffer major weather changes?!

Yesterday (Mon), i dared not visit doc coz i don't want my poor baby inside me to eat all the western medicine. i rested whole day at home with the hope of enough rest/sleep & water, i may recover slowly. I'm WRONG! I had a hard time sleeping cos my nose was blocked and need to keep blowing if not i need to use mouth to breathe while i sleep. My throat was SUPER dry so i keep waking up to drink lotza water & ran to toilet every 1-2 hrs. Moreover, my throat oso start to itch and keep cough while i'm trying to sleep. How to rest like tat??! Left with NO choice, i visit GP near my home at nite.

Today, my flu improve abit but my cough worsen..usually once my cough started, is V difficult to end it..v scary..Cough is my Nightmare!

This reminds me of my LAST cough was in early dec 07 when i stop blogging..it lasted for a MONTH! I din realised i'm pregnant then. So i ate one cycle of antibiotic,yet i still cough till my lungs were pain. i visited a sin seh & took chinese medicine to cure it. End up, it got worse & i cough til my lungs & back oso pain. So i went to see GP to take STRONGER dose of medicine & 2nd ROUND of antibiotic. By the time i finish my medi, i cough till i VOMIT..by then i REALISED i'm 6 weeks PREGNANT!! My god...what hv i feed my poor baby??!!!
