第N次

進入最後幾星期,每日坐地鐵都有人讓座給我,非常感動!今天是我返工的最後一天,肚皮真的超大呀!今日也是佔中第二天,交通比較繁忙,所以我特地遲點返,避開人潮。
回公司的途中,有趣的事發生了。我行至最後車卡的時候,同時間兩位男士起來,於是我連忙說多謝thank you,然後就坐在一位比較年輕男士讓出來的座位上。 
好感動的早上,謝謝兩位先生!

Are we ready?

Today, I am 37 weeks and 3 days pregnant. I need to work for 4 more days, Then I will start my maternity leave "possibly" for 6 months. Just thinking about this is nerve-wracking. 

The handover at work is taking place...I also just knew that my company is paying staff 100% during their maternity leave (10 weeks). And my family will still enjoy the medical benefit. Such a great company!! 

I am glad that the maid is settling well in the first week. She has kept my flat so clean and that's lovely. Her sense of cooking is there, but she needs some more training. May be pui yuet Jie Jie can teach her some great dishes later. 
My hospital bag is not finished yet, so as my state-of-mind. Kailan, are you ready too?

A funny game is on!

That's the second day Tin Tin is making our bed. She decided to create another scene for us. That's really hilarious. 
In addition, I found out that she has put a turtle into my cake container. 
Every time I talked to her about the toys, she will laugh. It's always nice to find out a surprise from Tin Tin every night after work.

My maid TIn Tin

As we are starting our new page of life soon, our life is going to undergo great changes. 
First of all, we finally picked up our first maid on September 20, Saturday. She is called Christina, and she preferred us to call her Tin Tin. She is very young, 24 years old, and had a son of 4 years old. 
We started to show her how to clean the house in the past two days, so far so good. Everyone told me that maids are not too smart, so our expectation is very low. That's good because now we find Tin Tin is a quite smart and she remembered everything we taught her to do. 
Yesterday which is Monday, I went back to work and asked her to make my bed after I left home for work. When Ah Lun came back home after some morning job orders, he laughed on the phone (very rare) and said I will send you a picture. 
Instead of lining up our toys in one line or one big pile, our maid has created a scene here, and scattered my toys all over my bed. I laughed out so loudly at lunch time yesterday. I can add talking bubbles to each toy and it's like they are filming for a children TV programme.  Seriously hilarious!!
After a couple of hours, Ah Lun what's apped me another funny photo. Not sure if Tin Tin dropped our rat stuffed toy on the floor or intentionally think rat should belong to the dark corner under the bed. 
I laughed out loud in the office again. 

When I returned home, I told tin tin that she's so cute to put my toys everywhere. She also laughed in a shy way and explained to me that she also did that at home for her son. I think it's quite sad now, because she must miss her son.

House warming at Cynthia's place

Yeah, Cynthia has now become friends of Tsing Yi. She trained up her maid to cook 6 dishes and 1 soup for our group. All the dishes are nice. I hope my tin tin is good at cooking too. 
Aida has brought along Aprica stroller and Cynthia shared her new born carrier with me. This group of friends have been very generous in sharing bb gear with me. Much appreciated. 
Betty is the birthday girl but Darren and Arwin blew off the candles. 
Finally I have a chance to taste Miffy cake. But you know it's very heartbreaking to cut such a cute cake. 
Where to put the candle? I suggest to put two at the ears and now Miffy is enjoying ear spa with a burning incense stick, haha. 



香蕉班戟 Banana Crepes


This is Ah Lun's favorite, and let me cook it one day during my maternity leave.

Gift from Joanne

Joanne has sent a few gifts to me through her mom. They are all very nice gifts. 
The marimekko milk bottle is great, and cannot be purchased in HK! 
I also love the milk powder container too, as this could be the coolest design I have ever seen. 
Love the colour palette of all products as they are not too feminine.

Leg Cramp #3

It's not as serious as the last leg cramp but still very painful. Because of my big bump, my hands cannot reach out to my legs, so what I could do is just to scream. I really did not want to wake up Ah Lun but I was so helpless and could not do anything by myself.

Kailan loves watermelon

Kailan looks so sad when we threw away the rotten watermelon. She kept going back to the toilet and staring at the watermelon. Poor girl!! 
After this photo, we will flush the toilet.

Rare selfie!


Gym at 35 weeks

After getting back some sleep after the exhausting overnight trip with BFF, we are heading to the gym for some exercises. 
I had been lazy lately becoz of busy work schedule and tiredness caused by my ever-expanding belly. Finally I made up my mind to go to the gym with him, feeling great after a section though I did not do a lot of exercises. 
I cannot push myself too much especially when I am going to deliver very soon. 

BFF Outing in HK (Sep 12-13, 2014)

This year, we have a local BFF trip to fit everyone's schedule. It's such a great idea to getaway from our partners and kids. 
Though our itinerary is not interesting at all, we had a great time. We went to discovery bay and stayed in the new hotel called Auberge. 
We keep eating and drinking everywhere and there's actually no activity at all except meals. We had some quality chats indeed. We chatted until 5am, how crazy is this for some mid-30s ladies?!
Coffee at Arabica! Very cool coffee shop. 
Dinner at Zaks, the most popular restaurant in Discovery Bay
Birthday celebration for Donna and Joyce Ip. 
Have a toast! I cannot have champagne this time. 
After this photo, the chat went on forever until 5am. Again only Cat had gone to bed! 
Meeting again in the morning for breakfast. 
Since ah yea's alarm clock was set at 9:50pm, the phone kept silent in the whole morning. For me, I fell into sleep after after waking up at 8:30am. Joyce up woke me up at 10:45am, and I rushed down to meet them for breakfast in 10mins. 
35weeks5days now! 
Signature chapel at auberge hotel
Just missing ah yea who's still sleeping  and Ball Ball who wanted to resume her normal family life earlier than scheduled. 

Last but not least, Joanne also announced her second baby news during our trip. How wonderful! Hope her annoying symptoms will go away soon.

LOVE corner

When Ton Ton visited my place last time, a mega photo frame fell off and the glass shattered on the floor welcoming both of us. It was a massive clean up one or two months ago. 

We bought these LOVE letters from Homeless and I thought of putting them at the nursery. But I just worried if they will fall down one day and hit my baby. So I decided to relocate these art work. 

I put them here on this wall to fill up the hole today at the home entrance. Not sure if Ah Lun will agree with this. So in case he has another thought, they may need to be moved. 

Before he comes back home later tonight, let me upload this picture for record. 

A loving corner filled with beautiful photos of us and Kailan. 

Carson 回港

很久沒有見哥哥了!今次終於見到,因為今日是公眾假期。平時,哥哥回港都是平日,佢地weekdays 飲茶無我份!
現在哥哥在越南工作,希望好快可以去越南旅行加探望佢!


Not the first time!!

The lid was not closed probably by Mr Tse when he helped to refill the bottle with pet food. So when I fed Kailan this morning, half bucket of the pet food was spilt over the kitchen table. Some were in the sink and some were on the floor. 
Kailan was happily eating those on the floor, while I was busy cleaning up the mess. 
Such a nice picture haha
Just a mess! I decided to take a picture before the cleaning

Busy Sunday

We are counting down the days. Just 6 weeks to go, but I still have not got everything prepared. 

Finally we had this Sunday to complete most of the tasks (not all).Feeling happy that we have accomplished so much yesterday. 

We had our brunch again at Ocio as we can park our car nearby the restaurant. Ah Lun announced that he was still feeling hungry after he had finished 70% of his all day breakfast. I know he won't feel full after finishing my carbonara leftover, so we had a banana pancake. 
Everything is yum and we are going to start our home / bb purchase. 

We bought toilet seat cover (replacement), flower pot for his mint leaves, flowers for me, breast milk pump and many outstanding bb items. 

My house is full of bb stuff in boxes and bags. Finally we have time to sort things out. 

We also tested our crib and assembled stokke Tripp trapp high chair. Well, a very busy Sunday! 

Next week, we will re-arrange things in the kitchen to make milk bottle sterilization procedure a smooth one. 

Sigh! Preparation work never ends but it's quite fun anyway. 
First time buying lotus! $20 for 3. 
The pot is so lovely that we have to bring it home. Hopefully that it's easy to look after that tiny flower.
