Evangeline at 28 Weeks

Just went to see Dr Adrian. Beside the usual routine and the same catch up phrases, we were glad that Evangeline is now 1.3kg at 28 weeks! However, as for me, I put on 10 kg from 51.3kg to 61.3kg at 7 months. My oh my! I must indeed maintain my weight for the last two months. Hopefully, I do not exceed a total of 15 kg weight gain for my whole pregnancy. Evangeline is considered average and normal and I am thankful to God for taking so good care of her and protect her thru out this whole pregnancy. Hubby can't wait to see her and I can't wait to hold her in my arms. We continue to pray for the last two months ahead that Evangeline will continue to grow healthily in my womb. What a joy!

What a fulfilling day!

Finally, we managed to borrow the car again to do our final shopping for baby Evangeline since it was postponed the other day due to my flu. As my BIL needed to reached school early at 6.45am. Thus, we woke up at 5am, got a cab to my FIL's place, drove BIL to school and headed to Holland Village for breakfast.

As the shopping centres at Orchard only opened at 10.30am, we headed down to Botanic Garden for a morning walk and to spend some quiet time there in a pavillion overseeing the Swan Lake. The weather was cool and we felt refreshed by the cool breeze blowing at us.

We stayed there till 10.15am and proceed down to Isetan, make a quick purchase on diapers, parking was just $1.00 for the first hour. Cool!

Did some purchases on baby items with 20% discount and we managed to get all the things done within the first one hour and to our delight, we only incurred $1.00 only on car park charges. Haha.

Then, we found another car park near the Youth Park which was only 50 cents per half hour. So we parked there for an hour to get out our things from Aussino. So only incurred $1.00 for carparking.

By then, ERP charges had started and in order not to incur ERP charges, we tried to find a route to go to PIE and to avoid all the gantries if possible. Guess what, we found one and we avoided ERP charges. How brilliant we were! What to do...we needed to save $$$$$.

Car parking at Ikea was free the whole day, only managed to finish shopping at about 8pm, went to the shops near my Mum's place to source for light bulbs and had a quick dinner as my BIL was chasing us to return the car as he needed to fetch his GF home.

Another day ended with exhausion. Haha, but we were glad that most of the purchases for Baby Evangeline were more or less done and Hubby can concentrate on his assignments and exams for the week. What a day!

Flu Attack!

Today, Hubby and I were supposed to go shopping and settling our last few purchases for baby Evangeline. There were few places we needed to get our things from like Robinson Centrepoint, Paragon Aussino, Ikea and Isetan Scotts. However, I couldn't drag myself out from bed and my whole body felt weak and aching. Running nose was bad and it refused to stop flowing. I knew we had to give the shopping a miss and just returned home from seeing the Doc. I felt terrible and could do nothing but slept like a log the whole afternoon.

Sniff Sniff, pls go away Flu! Oh, just hope I can recover soon!

My birthday itinerary

It's finally my 28th birthday yesterday. Hubby was not able to celebrate with me due to his assignment which he needed to hand up by that day. Thus, he has planned a whole day itinerary to celebrate my birthday today.

We woke up early to have a quick breakfast at a coffee shop nearby and went straight to my FIL's house to borrow the car for the day. It has been a long time since we went out 'pator-ing'. When was the last time we actually went out for couple time? I guessed it must be decades ago!!!! Hubby was so meticulous in his planning. He actually planned the route and timing so well that we will not incur ERP charges. Ha ha.

10.15am - Reached Labrador Park. As we drove into the park, we realised that we ended up in the premises of a new resort called the city resort. We went to recee the rooms and got the contact of the manager in charge. It was indeed quite a pleasant and serene place for retreat and hubby was considering it for the Methodist Retreat next Jan.

11.15am - Reached Amoy Street for lunch. As I highly recommended the famous fish soup and the Wantan noodles to hubby, he couldn't wait to savour and get his hands on them. Fortunately, the lunch crowd has not started and we did not need to queue up for the food. The fish soup was simply heavenly. The fish slices were fresh and the broth was tasty and light. It was not salty but just nice. Wantan noodles was the centre of attraction for the day. The portion given was a lot which includes 6 fried wantan and 6 boiled wantan with springy noodles for just $2.50. The Char siew slices were not fatty and mainly lean meat. Hubby really enjoyed his meal and I just beamed with happiness.

1.25pm - Watched Wall-E movie. It was entertaining, enlightening on the awareness of global conservation, romantic due to the persistent, faithful love Wall-E has on Eva and a touching ending.

6.00pm - Roamed around Marina Square and caught an eye on this restaurant called HotPot culture. Original plan was to eat at Mouth Restaurant but Hubby saw that they are offering a steamboat buffet dinner for just $19 plus per person and even includes free flow of ala carte dishes and chocolate fondue. So without much hesitation, we ended up feasting there for our dinner till 9.30pm.

9.30pm - As one of our church member's mother had passed away and the wake was just a few blocks away from us, we decided to pay our respect as we drove our way back home. stayed till about 11pm before we took a lift home from Wendy.

12 midnight - Blogging my day out here and it's time to sleep. We were all exhausted and my weary legs were painful especially my calves. That's all for now and sweet dreams!

Current Mood: Happy and exhausted.
