Pipsqueak got his first visitor this week - Aunty Winne from Hong Kong! Well, she actually came to visit me, but for now, its kind of the same thing. :) Aunty Winne brought presents for Pipsqueak - check out these cute mummy and baby matching shirts! Can someone who knows german tell me what the word means??? Winne has checked with her sources and they have assured her that its nothing vulgar. Which is a good start. But it would be nice to know what it means...hehehe...
We visited Sungei Buloh on Saturday afternoon to bring Winne back to nature - and we got totally feasted on by mosquitoes! Suffice to say that we were covered in mosquito carcasses by the end of the day after smacking each other's limbs to kill them. The park ranger assured us that these are not dengue mosquitoes, as Sungei Buloh is a swamp area and the Aedes mosquito needs very clean water to breed. Cold comfort to 3 itchy people. On the bright side, we visited some of the farms in the area and came home with a freshly killed sea bass and lots of organic vegetables. We had a sumptous dinner of HK style sea bass, carrot and corn soup and fresh leafy vegies. YUM! I also learnt the trick to making good soup, HK style. Anyone who wants to know, ask me. :)
We visited the Night Safari on Sunday night and although it was raining, we didn't let it dampen our mood. In fact, it ensured that the weather was nice and cool. The down side is that the Creatures of the Night show wasn't on as its an open-air show. But we had a good time nonetheless - would recommend you visit if you haven't been there before.
I took the day off on Monday and we watched Harry Potter and went for a massage after that. The massage was really sub-par, and its a well known spa chain called Rustic Nirvana. They promote their pre and post natal massages a lot, hence I decided to try out their promotional deal, but really, its not worth it. Don't waste your time and money trying. We had planned to have XO fish slice noodle for dinner after the massage but we were so lazy, we ended up coming straight home and cooking what was in the fridge! Check out our fusion meal - Korean noodles, HK Spare Ribs, Chinese Cod fish and Green Salad!
Am feeling so so heavy these days, and I have quite a fair bit to go before full term. I read the babycenter update for week 31 and I almost jumped out of the seat - it says Pipsqueak is headed for a growth spurt. OH NO! I can't imagine growing any bigger. We have another checkup tomorrow, I suspect Pipsqueak is lying sideways and not head down, will see what the gynae says tomorrow!
