H A P P Y N E W Y E A R ! ! !

YES, last note from this blog! started a new blog, my 2nd blog. http://elsiethng2.blogspot.com/

i will continue to blog with the new blog as i have hit the limit with loading images on this blog. looking forward to blog on new topic - BABY! will do a summarise on the scans and my pregnant experiences. and of cos when i am due in June it will be lots of blogging on baby! hopefully i will still have the energy and time to blog then! 2008 has been kind. learnt alot of new things and i enjoyed taking all the hands-on cooking classes this year. best thing that happened is definitely the news of me expecting. i hope 2009 will be better and happier! Happy new year to all! best wishes! ciao!

Week 17th counting down to end of the year!

just 3 days to the last of 2008! this week baby's 17th week will spend 3 days in 2008 and then begin 2009! baby's been good, less stretching but that makes me non-stop worrying if everything is ok... with me passing 4 months, i have just 5 months to enjoy the the preganancy and begin another new path in my life.

monday 29th - stayed at home and planned what to cook for ny eve. we are having a potluck party for the last day of the year. everyone who can cook or wanna try to cook has to come up with a dish. my cousins and siblings grouped together, pull our funds and i came out with 6 items for the party. then i head out with mil to supermarket to buy stuff for the dessert 1st. then i was home thruout and waiting to watch the ever-long 2 hours little nonya. i personally find 2hrs way too long! early nite for me again...

tuesday 30th - waking up from weird dreams make me so tired! no nothing sexy just weird places and gosh doing impossible things. went out with ann to holland v. we were in search for angmo cooked crab meat. we started out with having pizza at one of our favourite place in H.V.
Da Paolo. althou they have expanded and have many outlets now, ann & i still prefer this shop at Chipbee Gardens. after our eatout we head to track the crabmeat but too bad that they are not bringing in anymore of the crabmeat!!! then i bot myself a froth beater... thou i dun drink coffee, i wanted to to froth the milk for gx! and i got a new purple silicon glove! as i didnt have hands to get joyce her housewarming and post xmas gift, ann said we are gog to go back again next week for a chillout! then we left to go to our favourite bread shop! ann loves the bread at provence too. we then sat down again for early tea! sat next to a couple prop dating and gosh the worse topic - y i didnt go RI jc but instead ACS... OMG! boring! the guy just went ont non-stop! he's prob rich... and definitely boring. lucky for us we got to move a seat away from them but they were speaking loudly in the tiny place... ERGH!!! then we went to shop for the rest of the ingredients and we couldn't find some of the stuff and then we changed a few items for the party. head back to KCB to marinate the chicken wings and went home to rest and pack my room.

wednesday 31st - woke up early to send gx out for work. then refuse to sleep cos of weird dreams again! so i started blogging for the last time on this blog. i have created a new blog as i find no solution for my photo-uploading and i tot its great to have a new blog... nothing exciting for the name of my 2nd blog... is just At the end of the rainbow ii ... ... need to learn to resize my huge pixel photos. something new to learn for the year 2009! gog to meet ann later to get more food items and go back to mum's to cook a storm! hopefully the cousins and bro&gf will come on time to cook! update on the party will be on the new bloggie!

goodbye to my old blog ... where all my treasures are! but i guess the things i will get to learn in 2009 will create another treasure box!

Non-stop partying the whole of Week 16th!

Monday 22nd dec - after the wedding, build-the-bear xmas/bdae party, surprise party for uncle j, ann & i organise a luncheon for kidos. we went to disney naturally. my 2nd time here and i still find the place small. stick to the pizzas cos i dun find the rest of the food interesting... excited little ones shop alittle at the bookshop while the mums buy grocery. then feel very xianz... very tired of the things i have to face... worried for mum.

busy week 15th!

PLEASE log on to facebook to view the pictures!

my baby is great... after all the shopping and i end up with a little pull here and there... my baby has been great! started the week with last minute shopping for little gifts to thank my collegues for being understanding and helping me out whenever i needed a hand. then i went home almost everyday to help sis in the areas that i was in need. went to print her wedding pictures. ate my last durian before wednesday's consultation. durians are a BIG NONO! was adviced not to take any more sweet things... its causing me irritation, rashes and suffering from discharge... no carbo and sweet stuff... difficult but tried cos sis wedding and upcoming events makes it impossible!

baby is good! with gx around, the little one was awake. we talked to our baby asking to see the gender before gog in for our scan! but our little one, toss and turn and started kicking the legs so fast, our gynae commented that kicking so fast like a MU soccer player... haha... baby's dad is a liverpool fan... after all the kicking, legs were crossed... so much for being cheeky like us! doc lim said that my blood test is good, womb is good, baby is growing but i have to watch my diet. as usual before the scanner is off, baby looked at the scanner and doc lim was nice to print out the little one's face shot for us. due to the lack of space in my blog... i guess i have to load it on facebook! going to post pics on facebook and link it on blog... tried all means and i dun want to end up paying for it! so add me to your facebook if you haven!

i was on half day on thursday, head home to see the twins coming home from shanghai! really miss these 2 little darlings! then with mum and aunt we head to far east floral and total forgot i was gog into the cold room... i didnt wear sweater and brave the cold in my sleeveless dress! got lots of flowers! cost a bomb of almost $300! yup... but it turned out very nice! my mum's house was well decorated! aunt k worked on many pieces whereas i concentrated on one master piece.

then relatives flow in and the house was filled with excitment! then a phone call upset my mum so much. unexpected but we accept the decision. gx helped my mum amend the seating arrangement again. mum was stressed out with so many thing on her hand. lucky she had many to help her out esp aunt K! i head home to pack luggage but instead i was so tired that i have to nap. then i woke up at 1am to pack bags for hotel stayover! i end up on bed at 2am+ and couldn't sleep!!! by the time the alarm went off i dun think i slept much!

Friday Dec 19th was sis's big day! woke up later than we planned to!!! rushed off to mum's and alot of my relatives were there at the carporch. they were waiting for sis to come down for the "comb hair"ceremony. glad i made it on time! after which sis was doing makeup, the whole family was preparing to dress up too. mum was busy in the kitchen, making tea and preparing breakfast. i was busy snapping i detail shot for sis. photographer was late. I DUN LIKE THE PHOTOGRAPER! terrible attitude. late, snap less than prob 3 pics, went to smoke... wonder if there is going be any detail shots! OMG! can't stand him!!! already i was warned of his stupid concept of not taking table shots... knew he would be a trouble maker of not being happy taking any group shots then... true enough!!! he made so many of us so mad with his stupid comments and standing at the wrong place all the time! ERGH!!! he makes a wonderful pre-wedding photographer but sucks at being a actual day person!

Played the piano with ann for sis when she came back from guy side. We played through the arbor and carried on with some other pieces. then L was going to perform the important task. the little boy is supposed to roll on the bed to bring the couple good luck for having children! he was so shy but his daddy managed to think of ways for him to roll around! after the tea ceremony, uncle M who loves bringing up the party mood, got me to play the piano while her daughter sang a song with him. then i grab my new bro-in-law and got him to sing for sis. I didnt get to drink the tea... cos i am preg. aunt O didnt want my baby luck to clash with sis' wedding luck... won't be good for the 2 of us... so daniel sang as i play and my sis blushed! then we head to hotel and no time to stop! we were preparing, q to shower and do our makeup for sis' rom!

i was in-charge of the little flower gals walking in! i have been training with them separately! the cupcakes arrived and they looked lovely! i wish i can post photos here! the whole walk-in went well except that after the whole rom ceremony i was so mad with the photographer! ever hear photographers tell your guest esp if they are your family that I CAN'T TAKE SUCH A BIG GROUP SHOT???? it like omg! so unprofessional! i really can't stand that! i stormed out after pulling some chairs to solve the photo problem! then i heard the photographer sigh cos he said he wanted to take smaller group photo... ergh! i went to cool down, walked back in to eat my cupcakes! was so tired before the dinner.... went in to sit at the quiet ballroom. its was peaceful and the banquet mgr came to me with a little pillow... i was stunned... it was for my back!

the service was great! he was so attentive! heard my bro say that preg lady need to sit... he proceed to ask if i wanted warm water or... i say hot... cos the aircon will cool it in no time! very thoughtful cos i can't drink anything else!!! the dinner went well. my sis looked so beautiful! she look so great in all her dresses! she had 6 hairdo changes! one more than me! she was lucky don came and worked great with their makeup fren jesslin. sis tailored all her gowns from the same gown-making shop as me! we get to stay over in marriot. uncle m gave sis 6 rooms as a wedding present.

sat 20th dec - woke up and we went up to sis bridal suite to watch the video clip. it was very nicely done! sis ordered macdonald's breakfast for everyone. we rested and then head back to rooms to checkout. some of us head to suntec for the next party! Ann and i booked a party for the young cousins. We organised this session as xmas presents for all the kiddos. they had fun and so did the adults! then to wrap up the party we head to a smaller room on level 3 at suntec to throw ben a surprise! we sang him a bdae song as he approach the place! he was surprised. we had a photo session and head to tony romas for late lunch! went back to mum's place to view the photos taken at my sis wedding! head home and fell deep asleep!

Sunday 14th - rainy day... managed to get out of bed and hurried to meet the gals. we were the 2nds to reach the school. such a quiet and cool morning, truly feels like winter and its nice as we are attending european christmas class. very thankful to my 2 frens who joined me for class! i was looking for buddies cos i wasnt sure if i can handle the class alone! glad they came along! i couldn't knead the chilled dough at all!

7 cookies in 3 hours. the method are about the same but the ingredients vary and the taste are never the same! i was lucky to have my frens around! they were taking care of me, helping me out when i can't pump teh marcoons out! my favourite cookies has to be the hazelnut macaroons! they were very nice. when i saw the list of cookies we were going to make, this wasnt anywhere near my excitment cos i find macaroons too sweet for my liking! unexpectedly this was a little different from round smooth macaroons! MY FAVOURITE! this was joyce favourite too! dap like the caramel squares better! that cookie had a very nice "burnt" caramel smell and taste. alittle too sweet for me but all the cookies are very nice and esp when having with tea would be perfect!

i am so glad to have attended this class as i always want to learn how to make most of these cookies and i look forward to bake them! after class, together with gx, we head to colsbar to have lunch. gx had curry which was not bad and the gals had omelettes while i gobble a pork chop! head to holland v to get my favourite bread! milkpan from provence. i bot 10! 6 for gx family and 4 for mums. opf cos the gals were glad i made a pitstop there cos they too are provence fans! then i head to mums place for dinner and gx had to help mum work further on the guest list cos there were last minute changes. everyone was counting down to sis wedding!

Week 14th - walk and walk ... walk!

*
Thursday 11th dec - after easa i head down to vivo to meet up with gx. today i forgot my hp... he's now calmer with me forgeting things... but it has been since a while that i did forget my hp! so with a last phone call made in school, i was to wait for gx at WOF shop. he was 30mins late... lucky me ate something while walking around before he came. before meeting him, i managed to get some new stuff for my wardrobe for cny. pretty much done shopping for my cny. went on to check out shirts for gx to wear to my sis wedding. when i sat on the couch infront of the changing room, looking in the mirror i looked so sleepy... tired and i look so round! gx was very sweet with me. we didnt grab dinner, went home to have fruits.
*
Friday 12th dec - another busy day after school! met up with ann and we went down to bugis to meet up with nesa and aunt k. had my durian crave settled. went back to the same shop to get my durian pudding. ann ordered the durian rolls. the skin of the rolls are like machi but wished they omitted the dessicated coconut.

we went on to walk to suntec and we booked the place for the kids xmas party. yes we are having a party for the kids as xmas present. they are gog to love it! met up with the boys to grab dinner and with all the places in central filled with people, we cross over to fisherman's wharf. dun like the heat in this non-aircondition place but the food is so good! fried thou and i am glad i made the right choice to just eat all the starters and not order fish and chips... i am still not so much into fish yet. we had fried mushroom, prawns, calamari but i love the fried oysters best... they were big and there were many which is something that i didnt expect. not so sure if i could eat them... its cooked thou. just had one and love it! had some fish from cam and it tasted good. just the heat...

then we were late for our appointment at Paisley and Cream. We were there to try out 6 flavours that thv boys chose. Apple & Cinnamon, Macadamia Nut, Red Velvet-my cousin W was dying to try this... he's very curious what this might be! Caramalized Pear & Chocolate, Peaches & cream and Orange Marmalade.

the boys especially was very critical what cupcake to choose! We pass one cupcake around and gave our verdict. then we go on to the next cupcake. after 6 rounds and we chose 2 for sis' wedding. we were very detailed with the cupcake from the colours of the rose to the kind of piping for the cream. looking forward to see the outcome on sis rom.

this one is for sis and daniel who are both busy preparing for the wedding. A hens nite and bachelor nite without the bride and groom. counting down to the wedding!

Sis' GuoDaLi

Sunday 7th was Sis GuoDaLi. i love traditions cos it got this very festive mood. my Guodali was very red. the red really brings out the mood! cos the cake boxes are all red, gx and i was wearing red too... will try to find my pics... i used to save most of my pre-wedding pics on mum's computer but her com crashed... will see if i can find my old photo cds and if i did managed to save them.... if i do find it i will post them...

very first to arrive at mums. so i started taking pics of my mum's new decorated house. taken away was the comfort chiar replaced with a tall bamboo light and horse on the piano. the new shoe rack looks like customed made to match the the new furnitures but lucky mum got this at a very normal furniture shop. sofas, lightings, dining table, the buddha painting and the decorative statues are all new. my bro's fishtank is history... gx was the helpful bro-in-law to the new bro-in-law. same as us, sis and d have both teochew and cantonese wedding biscuits. i love the both packages as its so red, bring up the wedding mood! esp when all the bags are placed on the table!

the 2 new members to my family - my mum's smiley son-in-laws.love this basket! i had it for my wedding. love this traditional basket, brings alot of feel... more meaningful. makes the day special. in this huge chinese basket, in each layers has different items. 18 oranges, 2 bottles of liquor, wedding candles, 2 boxes of special teochew biscuits and one layer contains the 4dian jin, the jewellary set for the bride and big angbao for the gal's parents. i am not refering to the amount inside! i was refering to the angbao envelope used is really BIG!

whatevers comes to in this bridal basket, the lady's family will keep half and return half. also mum will then replace taken liquor with a bottle of f&n orange, only one pair of candles in the basket, exhange of 9 oranges to complete the auspicious number 18.

forgot to bring camera stand... should have cos the pic taken by m was shaky and blur... too bad bro was still on the plane from vietnam... so he wasn't in this family pic. i am getting rounder... face getting bigger... hopefully i look alright on the wedding day...

Week 13 was a BUSY week!

GOSH!!! i started this entry on tues but never got to finish till SAT! everynite i sit down for less then 15mins and i head for the bed! tired cos almost everyday i have been running around to shop for xmas, sis' wedding, i even started cny clothing shopping! its hard to get fitting non-preg clothes so when i see it i rather get it first!

Week 13 -my little one had a busy week! prob busy stretching that i experienced pulls here and there in my baby belly! a pretty scary experience for me cos i was worried that something was wrong... Wednesday 3rd Dec - couldnt get up cos there were pulls... almost like cramps but not as painful ... i went to gynae and dr.l said that its normal... baby's growing and so is my tummy.

then i was given the oscar report. it was ensuring to hear from the dr that my little one is doing fine. the print out scans were the picture of the measurement taken near his head, the back of the neck. zoomed on one of the photos to show little one's head. this is the side view of my baby. the little nose, little mouth and eyes...

told dr.l that during the scan gx and i saw our baby very active and asked if thats normal. dr.l laughed and said that the nurse must had a hard time scanning! he said its normal and my little one was just caught at its most active time. but when dr.l did the scan, when i looked at the screen, it didnt look right! dr.l smiled and told me not to worry as prob he could tell from my expression... he said that my little one is sleeping on its tummy! heads facing down and the spine is the white curve. baby is sleeping... he tried to peek if its a gal or boy but said we needed to wait till 4th month to be able to tell for sure... heard from my collegues, that by reading the heart rate, the doctors from the very beginning, they are already able to tell... just to be very sure, they wait to see if readings are right. We both are happy either gal or boy. As long as we get a healthy little baby!

*

Thursday 4th dec - head down to vivo to buy a recommended almond oil to rub on my tummy. From L'Occitane, Amande. love the smell of almond! very comfy when the oil is rubbed onto my baby bump! this bottle cost about 78 i think... there is a cheaper alternative, palmers cocoa cream, thou i was recommended by some friends this cream, my gynae advised me that some ladies suffer rashes when they used the product. i love that gx helps me rub the oil everynite! but usually i am deep in sleep oredi but i know he applies cos the oil smells very good. this almond oil helps to restore and protect the skin's support tissue and fight skin slackening and loss of elasticity. helps to fight dry skin, ideal to prevent the formation of stretch-marks. hopefully... then met gx after he finished work at asian kitchen to have dinner. i like the XLB here cos its got more soup in it! was glad we both had a nites out.

Friday 5th dec - after schooll rushed home to grab my dress for exchange. then alone in the busy orchard, after grabing a bite at orange julius, i head home! crowd! i cannot take crowd! was alone at home on a friday cos gx went for a talk.

*

Sat 6th dec - met mum early in the morning and head to orchard to look for mum's evening bag. couldn't find any. then we head to ted to see mum's cheongsam. her very first fitting. mum's cs looks very good. i like it and mum was happy with it. then we head to kcb. very tired! cos gx went for dinner at client's hm and came to get me at almost mn! mum and sis and aunts and nesa wasn't asleep then cos they were all busy helping to pack angbao.

*

Sun 7th dec - woke up at wee hours 6.30am to order tpy famous mini baos for breakfast at mums. then we head to mums for sis' GuoDaLi. will do an update on that on another entry. after the delivery of cakes to my relatives place, gx went for spa while i shop at centrepoint. found myself a very matching sweater for my evening dress for sis wedding. met up with my boy cousins. they were trying on suits for sis wedding. had coffee at kopi ten, jap coffeehouse at cuppage. we had a good laugh chatting. while gx and i went on to get my new camera, the boys went on to look for their clothes. TIRED!

good things are GOOD!

how i wish good things happen everyday! but if thats so, we may not know whats good and more treasure the good things. got the pics from dap. looking at the wild mushroom quiche. esp the veg crackers... was glad i had it. the chocolate truffle cake... if i ever want this i will need to go with good company who loves chocolate!

something that made me happier this week would be in search for my sis's wedding cakes, i chanced upon these cute cupcakes. these are tiny cupcakes. these came in the normal-sized cupcake and they had cookie monster too and that was cutest! bought some of the mini cupcakes to try out the flavour to decide what to get for sis's wedding.

last week was great! discovering the indonesian cafe, eating the soto ayam reminded me of bali. the avocado drink was a great find. sil then introduced to me a wonderful dessert! DURIAN pomelo, sago dessert!

this dessert was wonderful and yes theres fleshy durian in it. the pomelo just works wonder with the durian puree. brought nesa out to find the shop cos i really craved for it! had to have it. wanted to share with my buddy foodie cousin. she gave it 5stars upon 5! i actually prefered it overnight from my fridge cos the puree somehow thickens and i prefer that! its so good! i will be back for more thou this is $6 a bowl!

more good things ahead and my little one has more to love!
