It's going to be the end of 2nd week...

悉尼是否是天气晴朗?
这里天天都下雨乌云密布让人心情无法好起来。

时差让我们无法上网聊天，只能偶尔互道晚安...
现在也只能希望你能快点平安回来。

我28了

在我28岁的第一个早上，我5点多就醒来了。这也许是27和28最大的不同吧。 我希望bb可以成为像周慧敏一样优雅又漂亮的女生 希望爸爸妈妈，公公婆婆都能健康长寿 希望向岭能够多运动，早睡早起 其实没有什么比快乐更重要的，希望所有朋友都会快乐幸福!

My secret plan

tmr is XL's bday. i am trying to secretly plan some surprises.

I had given him his present many weeks ago before our trip to Thailand, a nike bag.
We had cut his bday cake with his family last sat.
The known plan is to have lunch tog near his office tmr, to use his voucher at a restuarant.
All the above are boring and uneventful celebration which are totally unacceptable.

My actual plan:

1) to buy a Koi bubble tea for him before the boring lunch date. He had never tried Koi before!
2) lunch to utilise vouchers...
3) Make Sukiyaki for dinner!

Then again, after looking at my written plan, it seems boring too... eat n eat n eat.... haiz.. maybe i should think of something interesting to do.....

NOTE: This was written last mth but I forgot to publish it.. :p

updates

I have been lazy with my blog recently... Many things, yet not much had happened..

1) I have a nephew! cried while I brush my teeth after I read the msg from dajie that Baby L came to this world. After almost 2 days of waiting in hospital, he is finally here in this world! It felt like miracle..

2) I am now in the final trimester. It felt strange to see my fingers and feet got swollen, and tummy getting bigger and bigger everyday. I think I will miss baby not being inside me. She seems to be a part of me already. Yet, I still cant get used to the discomfort, and pain I am going through everyday...

3) seeing dajie in her confinement, I tried very hard to mentally prepare myself for it too. I cant imagine myself tolerating not washing hair for days, not able to blow fan, and most importantly taking care of a small baby...

Japan trip part 3 - Fukushima

Ok, this section is on our trip to Iizakao Onsen in Fukushima. Our favorite part of our Japan trip. We took a local train to the onsen, then we were welcome by the tranquility at the riverside. Xl was fascinated by the ducks in the river, as it reminds him of his fav song "寒鸭戏水”。

The local train

寒鸭戏水

 

And here, we fulfilled our dream to be in the traditional Japanese Onsen Inn.

Personalised welcome message board at the inn

And traditional Japanese dinner in our tatami room. Just like those in 'Japan Hour'

We found an interesting beer- Sapporo+Royce: Chocolate Beer in the convenience store here. Beer that smells like choc, taste like Sapporo beer

 

 This is a lovely town. All houses have nicely trimmed garden. The hotspring here is awesome. We had wonderful time enjoying the scenery, all the yummy traditional meals.I hope it is still around now...

Japan Trip Part 2 - Hokkaido

Hokkaido. Yes, I know it's kind of overdue.. But here it is:

Noboribetsu:

　登别温泉。地狱谷。very "touristy" place, but pictures look great! nice weather. pretty scenery. famous hotspring. (Pls see part 1 for more details)

Sapporo:
The city.
Roads are covered by ice, not snow.(I think coz more ppl walked on the road, so snow become ice). taller buildings spotted. shopping centre, etc

We had lots of good food at Sapporo:

Ramen

Hairy Crab!

Rutsutsu Ski Resort:

This is where we had our first Ski experience。

Ski slope at night

Ski Slope in the morning

Otaru:

We made a day trip to Otaru, a food paradise!

Nice weather again, by the canal at Otaru

Wanted to try Uni-don, but we couldn't read the Japanese Menu, so we ordered Roe-don by mistake

还有很多小吃！This is a huge 'tako' ball with lots of ingredient, cheese, bacons, sweet corns etc

 

Another day trip to Shiroi Chocolate Factory

We had a nice walk to the factory and fun time at the factory. Oh.. I missed the biscuits and chocolates!

Hakodate:

How can we miss sashimi in Hakodate? Ah...sashimi....

Chinese waitress told us this is Hakodate's signature: Sotong Sashimi! The correct way to eat this is to eat with ginger, instead of wasabi. yummy yummy!

And we had ice-cream too! It was on sale that day, half price, I guess no one is as crazy like us to eat ice-cream in this cold winter night. 

We visited the market just beside our hotel early in the morning!

Hakodate is a port, one of the first cities in Japan to be influenced by westerners. We visited the churches, interesting architecture even though they are built hundreds years ago.

Stay positive

Was told I hav low lying placenta now during the recent scan.


I have been telling myself it'll be ok, I shud not be too paranoid. Most of the time it will move up to the correct position. Probably human mind really cannot process negation, this creepy thought of 'what if' lingers.. From now on, I will just think positive.

Everything will be fine.
