The weekend.
I just wished it didn’t end that fast.. Am feeling from fatigue and the weekend didn’t make it any better! It was grandpa’s birthday (der’s maternal grandpa) and the family had a celebration in the west. Baby jerry seemed to have stolen the limelight from grandpa. Everyone wants a share of him.. I should have set up a booth at the party and do rent-a-baby service and charge everyone by 5 min blocks. Ha. Am joking. We swung by earlier than everyone since we were in the vicinity for a weaning talk and the grandparents got some alone time with Jerry, which is nice because the smiles on their faces…

The weekend.
Love this picture of my boys, snoozing on a Saturday morning. Dim sum high tea buffet at goodwood park (again). It seems like THE place of the month for me. Been there so many times, but the buffet was good, and the key highlight was mini abalone siew mai. I forgot to take a picture!! And when I remembered, it was never refilled anymore. Bummer! And of cos, the yummy durian pudding which each of us had a serving each. If only, the durian pudding was buffet style! Lugged home a whole loaf of durian strudel.. And was gone before midnight was up, despite being so so full from the…

durian cravings..
i still have the urge to eat durians, everyday! especially since it is the durian season now.. the other day, while we were at goodwood park hotel’s min jiang restaurant for dim sum buffet lunch.. i gobbled down many many portions of durian puddings. it was oh-so-yummy!! can i have more please?! the service was really impeccable, the staff were all so attentive, catering to our dining needs, spotting the teapot needing a refill almost immediately when we were finished it up, the food came at all the right times and even though we polished off the entire cart of dim sum off this lady, she gamely served up everything…

A date out with the hubby.
Ok. Make that 2 dates. The first was a movie date – x men first class on one of the week days night 1.5 weeks ago. We had my mum babysit and snuck off for a movie date. Kinda loving these small random little stolen moments together. The movie was great and very enjoyable, though I’m not quite the marvel fan. probably one of the best movies I have seen of late (that’s not many movies actually, heh). Friday night. My mum refused to let me bring Jerry out (I’ll talk about that in a separate post) so I went out alone and the hubby joined me at night for…

My vanilla baby.
huh?! Do I smell like vanilla?! Der has been caught sniffing the baby many times and he keeps telling me, hey, Jerry smells like vanilla!! the little bub does have a sweet smell emitting from him, and I have no idea why! Do all babies smell like that? And I think I am going to have a talkative baby in the future, or maybe one that sleep talks, just like his dad. Jerry has been giving out cooing sounds and uh uh and ah sounds when he sleeps, just like how it would sound like when one is in a conversation, and I thought he woke for a feed only…

One last dash to run an errand.
These days, I hardly could get out of bed. I sleep like a hibernating bear and the role has reversed. Used to be me bugging the boy to wake to grab food to eat, but these days, he wakes and sneakingly creeps out of bed to head home (so that I can sleep longer) but he’s often ‘caught’ since I am the light sleeper and still would rouse and ask a question before my body gives up and slump back into bed. I practically slept the long weekend away. Late last evening, I realized that I needed to head out to buy a new mattress for my room.. the current…

Weekends.
Saturday. 1 day before my estimated due date. I was determined to get out and about despite the increasing pain. It’s my LAST weekend out before i’ll be confined. That, I’m pretty sure. Sure is a sight though, with me stopping every few steps for a short break (catch my breath, ease the pain) and moving on at tortoise’s speed. So not used to it and gawd, the hot weather makes it rather unbearable! Brunch at strictly pancakes, 44a prinsep street. A small little shophouse cafe tucked in a corner, with alfresco dinning at the shop front, seats inside and upstairs. Not much of an ambiance where I sat, just…

Happy long weekend!!
All dressed and ready to enjoy the weekend! This is, and will be the last weekend that I’ll be out and about before the baby pops. Well, I’m one day away from the due date (omg, it’s tomorrow!!) and even if he doesn’t come out, I’ll be induced anyway.. So yup, despite the pains and all.. I am determined to get out and have a nice brunch, dinner and just breathe the outside air for a bit, before the confinement starts. Maybe the walking will help bring on the labour! I seriously don’t want to be induced! Hope you are enjoying your long weekend as well! P.s. This stupid livejournal…

Being spontaneous!
Last Friday, I sat around in the house and wondered how I could get through the long weekend. Der has stopped me from swimming ever since the pelvic pain got worse. I miss it sorely and its the only exercise routine that I have to get my heart pumping.. So without it, I have been feeling lethargic and restless. Was randomly surfing around and I decided to book a BBQ pit for the next day.. And I quickly logged on to my town council website for the booking. Woohoo! Thank goodness for half day work days on Saturday mornings. Popped into mum’s room to tell her about it. I think…

the long weekend and my grouses.
just so.. i am bored! spent the day napping around, reading blogs, eating and managing the pain. it is getting worse by the day and i wonder if Jerry’s gonna pop soon! it’s not so much about the pain that’s getting to me, it’s the frustration of immobility and the fact that i can’t seemed to do simple tasks that frustrates me to no end these days, like how it takes triple the amount of time for me to walk to the kitchen and get myself a glass of water to drink. and also the fact the things seemed to go a little slow-mo for the active me. i’m seriously…
