Appt day!

Yesterday evening stayed over at in-law's house. We had dinner there ~ very hot and spicy sambal chilli fish, long beans, french beans with prawns and carrots, black beans soup and grilled chicken. I am always the one who finishes the soup because they dont drink a lot so everytime I will feel very bloated!!!
Everytime mother in law will prepare dessert, sometimes many fruits, sometimes ice cream. Last night was a big bowl of banana split........ Very full...... BURP!

See Carls Junior means ~ APPOINTMENT DAY! Hahaha yeah, today went for check up again. Dr Tan ordered CTG again and it shows contraction again and it was quite regular. I did not feel any pain at all so Dr Tan said leave it but he mentioned "can be anytime"!
Uhhhh.... so fast ah?!?!?! Anyway, anytime also must eat! We went Vivo again to have Carls Jr... I had bacon with beef burger.... very nice leh! I love it!!! Silly hubby nothing new one lah, always the same mushroom burger!

After Vivo, Silly hubby treats me to a session of pedicure coz I complained to him that I cant cut my toe nails and my legs are tired heeee free pedicure, I felt SOOOO comfortable compared to those that I pay for myself hahahaha....... he refused to go with me leh, dont know why... oh then I bought myself a cup of chendol (without him knowing!) hmmmmmm so nice! SHIOK!
AI YAH! He saw me blogging and saw the CHENDOL! I kanna scolding! :(

These few days...

Relax at home no doubt is very "shiok" but also must have things to entertain myself lor. Well, my favourite "entertainments" would be watching TVB series, meet friends for food, marketing, cooking, eating and sleeping.
Series I have but also cant be watching it whole day. Market and cooking would be a daily routine unless I eat out. Today is Monday and market didnt sell much things so I cooked a simple meal.

Clams and fish...

Vegetables and steamed pork with black beans...

Tomorrow actually planned to go high tea with Nathan but she suddenly roster to work! Sigh... SAD!

Contraction?!?!

Yesterday experienced "stomache" at about 2plus while at work. I was supposed to do afternoon shift however just after I took over, I experienced the pain. The funny thing is I felt that the pain is not contraction though I dont know how contraction may feels like. It feels more like food poisoning kind of pain.
Nathan was there and told me to consult my gynae. Initially I was quite relectant because it dont seems that serious. After a while I started to feel nausea then Nathan was a little panic and helped me to call my gynae. I didnt know what to tell him so just wait for him to ask me questions. He seems very anxious about it and told me to go to the labor ward asap.
Together with Nathan, we went to see boss and notified her before we go then boss told Nathan to send me there by WHEELCHAIR! Nathan said "I think you wont want hor?!?!?!"
Wah Piang, no need lah! So pai sae!
When we reached the labor ward we were giggling and laughing then the clerk said "I think uh is not real lah, you see your friend can still laugh think she is not due yet" hahahaha ya lor I also know but the pain just there and persistant.
I went in and lay on the bed for half an hour for the CTG. Joshua was moving and he was so disturbing. Finally Dr Tan (my gynae) came, he checked the CTG then told me that there was very slight contraction at every 10mins interval. He gave me two days MC and told me to go back if the pain gets worst.
Well, I went home and rest. The whole evening was painful but it was still like food poisoning kind of pain. I vomitted once in the late evening but no diarrhoea... actually also dont know what happen... then I received a call from boss, she said I should rest at home so asked me start my maternity leave!
UHHHHHH... my plan was on the 10th leh. SIGH... because at the same time I didnt want to disrupt the roster so I relectantly agree. Anyway, rest lor what to do.
This morning, woke up SO early! No need to work but woke up at about 6plus. I made breakfast for Silly hubby to bring to work then I went to the market with pa to have breakfast. I bought black chicken to brew tonic soup tonight.
I have decided, since nothing to do at home now then I shall brew tonic soup everyday for myself... on leave and wait to deliver... so sien leh...

Training

Started a two days training from today and the venue is at the ex Meridien hotel (now known as Concorde). The training is about understanding of EQ and I enjoy the training so far. Most importantly I am on this course with some people that I knew like Lee lian, Sye lin, Siew Eng etc etc... Lunch time we went to the food court and had the so called famous Korean food. I find it all right only however the portion given is more than enough to fill up a hungry person's stomach.

After the training, I went to PS to buy some groceries and dinner. I bought a roasted chicken, jumbo sausage, canned soup and baked beans for our dinner. Silly hubby picked me up and we had dinner at home (too lazy to go out to eat!)... We have always been lazy...

Look at the roasted chicken, looks more like roasted duck hor!??!? It taste good but I still prefer Giant's ones. The jumbo sausage is also all right only because the herbs taste a little funny. This dinner cost only $11!

Now my blog is always about food because nothing much happening. I supposed next month onwards will be all about the little prince "Joshua"! Heeeee

Dinner at Sinma

Yesterday evening went Geylang Sinma to have dinner with Silly hubby's family members and pa. The dinner cost $260 for the 9 of us. A very reasonable price! We had deer meat $12, a 700g soon hock $49, 2kg black pepper crabs $72, sambal crayfish $32, french beans $10, hotplate beancurd $12, marmite chicken $8, 7 froglegs $30 and assorted drinks $10. The portion was big however too hungry so forgotten to take pictures hahaha.....

After dinner, pa, silly hubby and me went Geylang to have durians. Uhmmm my auntie said try to eat more durians because it is good for the baby. I ate lah but yesterday ones not very bitter because Silly hubby said the "season is over" so the durians all not very tasty.

Training

I was not able to sleep last night because Joshua kept moving. I think I slept at about 3am and woke up by Joshua again at 620am. Ai yo dont know what happened to my little prince.
I went breakfast with pa then went training. Luckily Sis Ong is also in this training course so I have someone to talk to and have lunch with heeee if not would be really bored!
Lunch we had vegetarian bee hoon and some fried vegetarian stuff. We also bought some desserts back to the training place to eat. It was such a long day for me ~ from 620am to 430pm... I went home wanted to nap but afraid that I will not be able to sleep tonight again so I decided to wrap some dumplings for dinner.

First time doing this Shanghai style dumplings. Some with more fillings and looks big, some with less fillings so looks very small. I pan fried it ~ the "guo tie" style... it taste ok but the meat not juicy enough. Next time should add some chicken stock or.... I also dont know add what lah to make the meat more moist. Next time just trial again.

This is fish stirred fried with black beans, garlic and chilli... this is delicious. Two big fish cost only $4.

Silly hubby's favourite "xiao bai cai" (he likes lah I dont really fancy) and I brewed a "dont know what root" soup haha... I know how to brew it but dont know what is it called. Root with yellow beans, pork ribs and dried scallops and oysters.
I enjoy cooking so much but I think in another week time I will not be able to do it already. Feel so tired after preparing a meal... but I really enjoy home food.....

Yesterday and today

Yesterday before work, pa, silly hubby and myself had "paper chicken". Wow, the chicken was VERY well marinated yesterday, it was so delicious. We ordered 42 packets but seems not enough haha then we had a plate of noodles. Pa said it seems the next round 3 of us will have to order 60 packets!
Work was all right yesterday. Only loitering around and did some paperwork and roster. This is one good thing about working on Sunday.

This morning woke up early to have breakfast with pa. After breakfast, I did some packing and cleaning then I went to nap. Slept for a couple of hours then woke up at 3plus thinking of handmade noodles. I thought I can actually have high tea at "Lao Beijing" at Novena Sq!!! Hmmmm have been wanting to go there but no one is free to go with me during the weekdays. Since I craved for it, I dont mind going alone so I quickly get changed, get a newspaper (to read while eating mah, go alone leh!) and rushed to Novena Sq before the last order at 430pm.
I reached there at 410pm and they stopped me!!!!!!!!!!! The waiter told me that the food had finished! HUHHHHHHHH.... finished ah?????!?!?!?!?
Ai yo, so hungry and... sigh... very disappointed leh. I loitered around then went up to "Lingzhi" (vegetarian restaurant) another Tunglok branch that serve high tea and the answer was the same. AI YOOOOOoooooo.... why these people weekdays so free but then people around me not free one leh?!!?!?!
Anyway.... hungry so I walked around then remember Jenna told me before that the ayam penyet near the control station is good. Uhmmm also good, I wanted to try that too. I walked in and ordered ayam penyet without rice and beefball beehoon soup. HMmmmmm not bad, next time I will try the fried pomfret and gado gado.

Evening time went home to cook some yong tau fu. Actually still feeling very full but because I bought it this morning for dinner so I have to finish it. BURP... always overeat!
Another one month then I will get to see my baby Joshua heeee........ dont know how fat he is and dont know how he looks like heeee getting more and more excited.
Wish mum was still around to see him....

Off day

Today is my off day... Silly hubby is off too so we went back to parents in law's house to have lunch. After lunch we had nap then he went jogging and I continued to nap. Just spent my whole afternoon sleeping heeeee
Evening time, we went to Silly hubby's friend ~ Oliver's house for bbq. He invited many guest. Good thing is me this pregnant lady dont have to do anything, just sat there and waited for bbq food to be served. The bbq beef and pork are SOOOOooo nice and juicy! Oliver's parents marinated it. Taste really good! I ate quite a lot heeee

Now we were tired and sleepy again haha... going to bed soon....... I have to work tomorrow again so sien.

eat, eAT, EAT!

This morning I drank an essense of chicken with cordyceps to keep myself awake because I expected a pretty long day at work. I thought it is to keep myself awake but one of the sister mentioned it can also improve the appetite. I didnt know and never expect it is really true!
As usual I had my coco crunch in the office at about 7plus then I started work. At about 9plus my hands suddenly trembling so I swallowed a few spoonful of nasi lemak and I felt so much better after that. I think I was hypo but because I was waiting for a colleague to come back from her break so I have to wait for my turn to break.
Finally I went for my break at 10plus and I had a big bowl of mee siam and a packet of chicken rice! WOW... amazing... and I felt just nice only. In the afternoon, I finished my half packet of nasi lemak heeeee really ate a lot today.
This evening, Silly hubby and I went AMK hub and he suggested to go New York New York. As we walked in, we saw many people ordered the meat platter for two. Saw a couple who left about half a piece of chicken and some sides and saw a table of 3 left a quarter chicken and some wedges. One couple even packed some of the leftovers.
I told Silly hubby not to order appetizers or desserts because I think we cant finish the meaty main course.

There are 4 pork ribs, one piece fried chicken cutlet, one whole chicken, some potato wedges, coleslaw, baked beans and corn. ($36.90).

We finished EVERYTHING hahahaha... Actually... not a lot lah, it's "OK" for the two of us. I know he can still eat somemore!
After dinner, silly hubby actually went NTUC to get a loaf of bread. That's his favourite.

Appointment day!

Appointment day means always can get to see baby Joshua and get to eat Carl's Junior heeeeee so I always look forward!
Today Dr said baby Joshua is 2kg big! He is not a super big baby, this is just within the normal range for a 33 weeks old baby. Dr said he is still very active and healthy. He is always kicking very hard recently especially when I dont need to work. He knows when to disturb me and when not to heeee so cute. Look forward to see baby Joshua! Counting down!!!
After appointment, Silly hubby and I went Vivo to have Carl's Junior. Today I had the famous star with cheese. Silly hubby as usual lah, he always eat the same thing. The happiest thing is I can finish a large home-made ice lemon tea without him grumbling heee this will happen once on every appointment day. (I am also given permission to refill and bring it to work!) SO WONDERFUL! Everytime Silly hubby will say "You like a kid leh, give you food and drinks you will be very happy and contented."
Of course lah, that is for me to survive leh!

Favourite pickles, salsa, ice lemon tea, criss-cut fries, big big burger...

After lunch, I went Giant to buy my favourite honey roasted chicken for dinner. I do not have time to finish the whole chicken so I ate half of it then back to work. Whole evening creating beds, so irritating. Everyone from every station worked like mad but... what to do. We have no say.

Jack's Place

This evening I suddenly have a craving for Jack's place potato with bacon chips and sour cream so Silly hubby has to bring me to the restaurant. Hmmm then we ordered his favourite escargots.

He had sambal tenderloin steak and I have mix grilled. I finished the whole potato which I never able to heeee *SATISFIED*
SIGH... that's the end of this week rest day. I have to work till next Fri before I get to off on Sat. Tomorrow we will be able to see Joshua through the scan again. Will get to know how heavy he is now!

SG Flyer!

Yesterday parents in law were not at home so our maid Anna was told to prepare dinner for us. It was the first time I tried her cooking without my mother in law's supervision. Not too bad, I like the fried garlic fish (actually this dish I taught my mother in law one hahaha) and the prawns. Anna is quite good actually, she got the initiative and she dont need us to remind her to do things every now and then.
Back to work this afternoon after 3 days off. Still very lazy and lethargic. Again feeling very bloated and breathless. I have already been eating less recently because dont really have the appetite to eat.
Evening time, I received the 28 SG flyer tickets that I booked. YEah! Quite excited because I am going up to the flyer with all my uncles, aunties, cousins, grandma, papa and Silly hubby! I just read that one capsule can take 28 of us, JUST NICE! Tentatively we have arranged a date in Nov to high tea followed by the flyer. WOW, Nov... hope I dont get contraction up there!

Is your boss psycho????
After the test my results was-
Your Boss Isn't Psycho, but Your Boss Stinks

Your boss is probably not mental. Still, your boss is not competent or professional.
You may want to transfer departments or get a new job, before your boss sucks out your soul.

Selamat Hari Raya!

Selamat Hari Raya to my muslim friends!
This morning woke up early to make a burger for Silly hubby to bring to work. Yeah, Silly hubby always need to work 24hours on PH day. Anyway, it's ok lah, still get to see him very often hahaha....... he called me at work and told me he loves the burger asked to make again tomorrow. Uhmm depends on mood lah, not everyday so "ON"!
After he went to work, I went back to take a nap then Jenna sms me at 9am for breakfast so I went with the couple. The market was so crowded! As usual I had mee siam. There are many stalls in the market but always dont know what to eat.
After breakfast I bought vegetables and two pieces of fish for dinner. I pan fried the fish uhmmm tasted so good. It's so fresh and tasted like scallop! I dont know what this fish is called but I remember this is the fish that mum last cooked. That evening, she chopped this fish into pieces and stirred fried it with black beans, chilli and garlic. It taste very good... I still remember she cooked bean sprouts and brewed a very nice soup that evening... always recalled mum as a very good cook. That was the day she invited auntie Yvette to our house to have dinner together and the next day she was electively admitted for TPN........ it was on 27th May.

My simple and cheap dinner. Vegetables $1.70 and fish $1.80. Nowadays vegetables are so expensive but vegetables are my favourite, cannot do without it.
