actually they are not newly taken but only got to process and scanned them lately. the roll of LC-A+ film is taken in london and the roll of holga is taken in chinatown during last chinese new year period. i still have a roll which is half taken in london still in the LC-A+ and i haven’t finish taking yet. 
the shots under the cut.
i always had my tummy pics taken without my face so now we had a mini shoot taken over the weekend at our “home studio”. hehehe..
initially there will be a part 2 shot but guess we were too lazy and no inspiration so we’ll shoot again another time. i feel so fat in the pics, but anyway here are the “artistic” shots… quite a number of pics, so i put them under the cut.
national day fall on a saturday, so the company had declared that today will be office closure. actually i prefer what was being done previously when public holiday fall on a saturday, being given off-in-lieu to be clear at any time within the next 3 months. anyway it’s still good to have a longer weekend, 3 days is still not enough for me.
my hosting space for this domain already exceeded. don’t want to pay extra to increase the space so i need to move my photos in my gallery to somewhere else. so troublesome! and now my gallery is not working. 
i managed to talk loy into not turning on his PC for 1 whole day yesterday, initially was supposed to be 2 days lor. hahaha.. i think it’s good, cos he can get to do other stuffs instead of wasting time surfing net and chatting in front of the PC. but anyway, it’s like killing him for not allowing him to turn on his PC. today after making breakfast for me, he started his usual routine of using the PC. bleah..
other than going out everyday, i got to pack part of my hospital bag and started placing bb’s stuffs into the drawers. i’m going to start washing bb’s clothes soon, cos i got a box of stuffs to wash and afraid that i won’t have enough time to dry all the stuffs if i wash them too late.
we haven’t start decorating the bb’s corner. procrastinating for too long already!
i got lots of comments about my tummy lately. people had been saying that it’s huge, it’s massive or it look like bursting? some people thought i’m having a boy or thought that i’m giving birth anytime soon. but alyssa is only of an average weight and size at 50 percentile. sometimes when my users commented that my tummy is very big, i don’t know what to reply cos i see my tummy everyday and i don’t find it very big then my colleague will always tell those users cos bb got a big swimming pool.
anyway, my tummy really getting heavier and it really get more difficult to get up from the seat or from the bed. walking also get more tedious, can’t walk as fast as before. one of my colleague just told me that i seemed to wobble when i walk now.
left less than 50 days till i’m popping. i’m still deciding when i want to start my maternity leave. feel like starting it earlier so i can rest at home but yet don’t feel like wasting it. furthermore i don’t have much annual leave left, so can’t really utilize much. unless the doc willing to give me some MCs to take before the EDD then i can save on the maternity leave. hehehe…
i had been feeling really really tired but i still managed to get quite a number of things done. more of doing things for myself rather than doing baby stuffs. supposed to pack my hospital bag, unpack all bb’s stuffs and start washing bb’s clothes and bedding sets but feel very lazy to do all these.
these few days, been doing quite a number of personal things which i think i may not have the time to do after bb comes. loy and me went to watch money no enough 2 with my parents, i think it’s so-so only. local movies start to get boring with all the almost similar storylines and same actors/actresses.
i managed to do some baking after so long. got a very simple recipe for vanilla cupcakes so decided to give it a try. guess my electric mixer is spoilt, it just stopped working halfway thru while making the cupcakes and i have to manually beat the mixture.
cupcakes that looks like muffins
not too bad results, except that i decided to add in some chocolate chips but it sinked to the bottom. anyone have any idea how to prevent the choco chips from sinking to the bottom? i miss the smell of baking coming from the oven. so nice! hehehe.. i’m gonna try baking brownie cheesecake soon, must do it before i popped.
yesterday i went for my checkup and alyssa already 2kg at 32weeks. she gained quite alot these 2-3 weeks. don’t know is it the durians that i had eaten the past few weeks or the anmum milk that i started to drink again. my haemoglobin count dropped from 12.3gm to 9.3gm and doc said that bb had been taking iron away from me so i had to start taking a higher iron dosage pill. i’m afraid the higher dosage of iron will give me a worse constipation leh.. my checkup had changed to be 2 weeks once, so the next checkup will be 2 weeks later. my doc also giving a talk on that day about what to expect during the delivery, i think he will be giving this talk to all his patients that are giving birth soon.
we also signed up with Singapore Cord Blood Bank for the cord blood donation. did the interview and form filling yesterday after the checkup. didn’t know they are that strict with the donation. hopefully bb’s cord blood will be successful for the donation.
after the checkup, loy and me went to have an “afternoon tea”. so nice to just relax and read a book. i managed to finish the book, Baby Whisperer. imo, it’s a very good book especially for first time parents cos it summarized those lengthy and thick baby books into all the important points. so it’s good for people like me who doesn’t like to read wordy books. hehehe..
i went to trim my hair finally. so many people had commented about my messy hair and i had been procrastinating for months. now it look much better, i think should be able to last me till after confinement then i will go for another trim and to colour my hair (finally!). i think alyssa doesn’t like me to cut hair. while having my hair washed at the salon’s basin, she kept wriggling about. i think my tummy moved so much that even my stylist commented about it.
i’m halfway thru watching a taiwan serial DVD. hopefully can finish it by this week. hehehe…
helping my sis to promote her site abit.. hehehe.. check out the earrings!
Deshers
:)
i was surfing the urban outfitters site and come upon some cool electronic gadgets.
lately i had been going to bed later than usual at night, but i can’t really fall asleep as immediate as previously and i have to toss and turn for awhile before falling asleep. alyssa had been moving alot more inside when i’m lying on the bed. everytime i change my sleep position, she also change position (i think). cos i’m sleeping quite lightly, so i can feel the tummy go wobbly and sometimes she will give me some real powerful kicks which hurts. i thought bb usually sleep more than 90% of the time in the tummy? quite afraid that she will be so active that even after she comes out she doesn’t want to sleep much
on saturday, met up with theresa to have lunch at harbourfront. after that, this 2 preggers went shopping at mothercare. hehe.. i had already stopped buying bb’s clothes (at the moment) so i got some stuffs for myself there.
i got the nursing nightdress, nursing bra and a belly belt. many of my pants had become quite tight and since i’m gonna pop in another 1 month plus so i don’t intend to get anymore maternity clothes. thought this belly belt might help loosen some of my pants.
went back home for a nap after shopping and out again for dinner with loy’s friends who came down from Philippines then followed them to watch electrico’s gig at republic polytechnic. alyssa was moving and kicking alot throughout the gig, i wonder if she was enjoying and dancing inside or is it too loud for her that she was kicking cos of discomfort. hehehe.. after the gig, we went supper with the band and only reach home at almost 1am. it was 2am+ by the time i’m in bed. i think i haven’t slept so late eversince i’m preggers.
many people had been asking me to start packing my hospital bag. i thought is still quite early to pack but they say just in case so it’s better to pack earlier. actually i had gotten almost all the stuffs needed for the bag, i just need to dump everything in a big bag. so maybe i will do that in a few weeks time. i haven’t even start washing bb’s clothes yet.
loy and me bought this photo frame two weeks ago, to print alyssa’s hand and footprint. we got it real cheap as compared to many others that are sold in the market.
my sis got this lovely polo ralph dress for alyssa from the outlet in london. cheap and nice! but it’s quite big so have to wait till many months later before she can wear.
more new clothes for alyssa from Next that my sis got for her. love the red raincoat! next time bb gonna help mummy in the kitchen. heheh.. the little cap is cute too but bb will outgrown it very fast.
