"Pregnant woman who consumed bird's nest during pregnancy will help improve their health and benefit the foetus. It also help in post natal recovery better."
I've been eating bird nest every now and then.. hubby knows that I like longans with bird nest and asked MIL to put in longans especially for me. It's definitely good for me, I had better complexion and health since I eat bird nest.
Another magazine Mumzine reinforce the above statement "During pregnancy, the consumption of bird's nest can increase nutrition and improve the overall health of the mother. After giving birth, consumption of Bird's nest can lead to faster recovery and can help the mother in regaining slim figure."
I also started to eat fruits salad since this week, during my lunch break in office. Fruits include strawberries, grapes, apples. Vegetables include iceberg lettuce. I added salad cream (Heniz) suitable for vegetarian and also peanuts, rasins to add taste to it. It is really nice! I ate 3 times already and I seemed getting healthier.

Heinz Salad Cream 60% less fat than the standard mayonnaise market leader.
A Heinz Classic, salad cream is a tasty way to liven up salads, sandwiches, baked potatoes, burgers and chips. The unique taste of Heinz Salad Cream turns ordinary food into delicious dishes- instantly.

Good Friday! YES! Holiday...
It's such a long and fruitful day! I went tian zhong to enjoy my fav. Gan Lao Mian..with Nu-bi & hubby, then went to bukit gombak to do scalp hair treatment at Hi-Salon, followed by a $5 eye-brow trim, and then headed to Jurong point, cos I need to buy a handy sling bag that can put in an iPad and some of my stuffs. Nu-bi also bought some T-shirts @ the Hush puppies outlet.
I am so tired when I reached home, really feel like resting, but I still have a BBQ steamboat cum grilling session @ Quintet condo. It's really a hill of food, too much to be true! I really tried my best to dig in as much food as possible. There's hushbrown, egg tofu, veg. lemon fish (excellent), veg. pork chop, fried sushi bread, Egg omelette and Gu Ru Rou from Tian Zhong, several kind of mushrooms, lettuce to wrap the grilled food, Maggie mee, Veg. Char Siew, Veg. duck, wonton, sauced bringal & capsicums and etc.. OMG, I really can't list all of them out, cos there's too much variety!!!
How come the food varieties that we have in large group of people cannot compared to the small group? Anyway, we were really fortunate to have Aunty Ju-Hua, Chunyi, Yangyi and their grandpa, grandma to join us, or else we can't finish the food and have to play 終極密碼!Haha!

Self-service..!!!

I liked these 2 dishes, veg. lemon fish fillet and veg pork chop. Tasted great!
 
We started cooking the shrooms, veg. and maggie mee...

Played with Yu-Heng...the chubby and playful boi!

Chunyi and Yangyi were such dovely kids.. They were so smart, like wild imaginations, knows that my mobile phone was APPLE brand, and tell me jokes, oh dear.. they were so lovely. These 2 kids loved to swim alot, they even swam until don't want to eat. While eating, they were still wearing the swim suit, cos after eating, they were going for 2nd round again. Their grandma had a hard time to persuade them to go to bathe after the dinner.
We got nothing to play, so we switched on the iPhone music player, shuffle and play guess the music game. As we just knew that it's yanting birthday on that day, ZQ proposed that we record our voice and sang birthday song to Yanting & send the voice clip to her via Whatsapp. It's fun! :D
After tidying up, it's around 9pm already, but we decided for a second round. ZQ and Jun Ming drove us to Junction 10, I recommanded the restaurant called "Kungfu Paradise" cos I heard that it's a newly open restaurant, that has cosy atmosphere and cheap desserts/cakes & we had some chilling time over there. :D
We discussed quite a few topics, from Yauxiang's surpised proposal to Zhenyi, to BTO/housing, to ZQ's releationship.. Junming was so funny at describing the techniques of chasing gals, haha very dramatic! I really had a good laugh!

3rd Gynae visit (3-Apr 2012)
My baby is 17th week now..Had a Veg. Char Siew bun in the morning and took MRT to Outram park! My leg was rather pain. Maybe I walked too much!!! As my tummy was still small, I cannot considered pregnant women. Initially, I sat down on the prority seat, but after 1 min, I gave up my seat to an old lady, then I stood all the way throughout the journey. Tiring..

Again, the procedure was quite fast when I reached SGH. I got my queue no. within a few mins, did my urine test, sat down for a while and then it's my turn after waiting for 15-20 mins. I gained quite a lot of weight since I am pregnant, sob!! >.<

As usual, Dr Tan welcomed me with a smile and very friendly tone. He asked me if I am feeling ok. Got spotting? I said no. He did an external aborminal scan. This time, I can't see the full shape of the baby, maybe he's hiding! Hubby saw the baby for the first time, and we heard the heart-beat of the baby. It's slow and steady beat!
I also posted some questions, like can I do hair treatment and clean my teeth. Before I visited Gynae, I've already presumed that doc's answer. Which is YES & No problem! Well.. expected, he said can...no problem...! Actually, I am quite tired of asking, cos western doc's ans are the same!
Not forgetting my mc...before I left. My next appt is on 3rd May, and doc helped me to apply for the ultra-sound scan in the next appt. Woah.. so fun! :D


After visiting the doc, I went to have a brunch at the nearby cafe which sells nice toast and egg. Hubby recommended me this cafe at blk 4 because the food was nice and not ex. It's only about $3.70. The egg was well-half-cooked, and the bun was warm-hot status, not so cold and not so hot, just nice! Milo was also not very sweet, so I think it's worth buying!

Everyday delicious food cooked by MIL
~>.<~ But... I got no appetite leh! I am bloating everyday, feeling so stuffy in my stomach and intestine. I burped. I vomit. I can't help it! Every morning I got morning sickness, and it's getting more serious since 2nd trimester. I feel like I wanna vomit my bile out. It's such a disgusting feeling. I don't know what to eat for my breakfast and lunch, and sometimes I can't finish my packed lunch that I da bao from Tian En. Unless, I prepared home-made hamburger, patty with my fav. tomato and mini-butterhead, or linguine with the special sauce that I made by myself. Sometimes, when I am alone at home, I will cook my fav. tom yam fried rice with lots of tomatoes. See the pics below, hee..

I tried alot of sweets, but most of them does not work for me. Even preserved plums too, does not work. So, sometimes, I ate chips..cause I need some saltness and sourness, but later was nagged by MIL and hubby.
Then, I changed to dark chocolate. It sometimes helped. I also tried some nuts, yep, it worked for awhile.
Delicious food prepared by MIL.. too many dishes everyday, I can't upload too many photos here, these are just an example only:

Yay! Got my new iPad last Sunday! Belated valentine's day gift for this year! It's so cool :) Actually we thought that there were already no more stocks because I called M1 hotline early morning to check and the answer was "no stocks". But we managed to ask around at the the M1 exclusive shop at Lot 1, surprisingly they still got around 2-3 stocks for the 32GB, White.
Actually, before considering iPad, I actually made up my mind to buy Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 instead as it's much cheaper and also good to use. Unfortunately, when I got there, and heard that there's still stock for iPad, my heart started to itch :P So, here I got my gift!
Before we bought the iPad, we have already intend to go to gym and swim at CCK swimming complex, but after we left lot 1, heavy rain pours! We have no choice but t cancel the event. We then headed to west mall to exchange for a micro-sim card that works on new iPad, and had our dinner there. It's really a huge investment Sia. Besides the iPad that costed me $958, I also bought the casing and protective cover for $71.

Gokul Lunch after visiting Gynae
Today is the second time that I visited Dr Tan, gynae @ SGH (without the accompany of my hubby). But this time I did not wait for long before my queue, I reached Blk 5 at 10:15am, although my appt was 10:10am (I'm late :(). I submitted my appt card at the reception, got my queue no. 1022. After I did the urine test, blood pressure test and weighed, within 5 mins, my no. was called. Everything was settled in around 20 mins!
I thought that today I got the chance to do the ultrasound, but I think I mistaken what the doctor said during the last visit. Doc said I could do the ultrasound scan only during the 20 week, while now my baby was only at the 13th week.
He used the external scan to scan my abdominal like the last visit, and this time, I would be clearly the shape of my baby (2D), the shape was so beautiful, that it looked like a photo! Doc was amazed and keep saying, wow, ur baby is very big le, he's around 7cm already, and the baby was in perfect condition!
I asked some questions about spotting, abdominal pain and etc. I asked for cough syrup and phelgm medicines. Dr Tan prescribed me with multi-vitamins and suggested me to do blood test to check for hepatitis b, HIV, VDRL RPR, full blood count. He said I will still need to do the test no matter what, it is just a matter of early or late.
After everything was done, I went to Kopitiam to have a lotus bun and hot milo, while waiting for hubby to finish his meeting, and accompany me for lunch. He took half-day leave to accompany me to eat and we went to Baby Fair @ Taka. :D

Aiyo.. sure anot? I like to eat premium banana, really helps to soothen my bloatness and morning sickness. I searched through Internet, they said according to chinese trad, no.. banana is supposed to be a 'cold' food and I can't eat it. Gynae said 'YES, no problem!' Some said, only green banana cannot.. while an iPhone app said yes, banana is good for me!

Haiz.. who's right? Who's wrong? Headache~

I went to visit Gynae for the 1st time on 14th Feb 2012 @ SGH Blk 5! Queue was long, waited for almost 2 hours to get to see the gynecologist. Before seeing the gynecologist, I need to measure my height and weight, do a urine test AGAIN (my 4th time) and check my blood pressure.
But somehow, SGH service was quite good, because they gave me a 'extremely' sweet and crunchy apple while I was waiting for my queue no. to be called. HAHA!

While waiting, I was looking around, nothing much to do, and this guy just watched HK drama one after another episode. ~>.<~ Never entertain me!

The gynecologist, Dr Tan, was so fast, that he did not actually prescribe me anything, did not ask me much, did not ask me to take note of much things. When I asked him can I do this, can I eat that, he replied "CAN!" for everything and asked me to come for the Ultrasound scan 3 weeks later.
He just did an external abdominal scan, and checked if my baby was safe. He just said that my baby was 3.1cm, and it's now week 10. I can't even see anything on the screen, and he can just provide me the information just like that, which I think is just a standard information based on my last menstrual period.
So, finally, he told me that my estimated delivery date was 9th sept, and I was out of the room after 5 mins. =.=!!!
