My Life

Both Hup and I LOVE DURIAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now is Durian season and everyone start talking about Durian, Durian, Durian

Hahaha…. sure Hup and I won’t miss the opportunity to have durian feast with cheap price. Actually in Sgp, you will see people selling durian throughout the year, but the price will be much cheaper during durian hot season.

A ”calculative” people like Hup and I sure won’t buy the durian at Sgp… Hehe… we went to Johor last weekend for durian, with ONLY RM4 per Kg for good quality durian !!!!! We bought 3 big durians + 1 free smaller durian with only RM40. Wow….really worth it

Well, Hup had a special request while travelling back from Johor. He missed the “Durian Rice” that his mom always made. He straightaway called his mom for the recipes

I never try the “Durian Rice”… but I had the Thai Durian Dessert before which make from Glutinuous rice + Durian. Hmm… should be almost the same, my wild guess. So, I just gave it a try

Here is the recipe given by his mom… really simple

Preparation of Glutinous Rice:
- Dip the glutinous rice in water overnight (or at least 5hrs)
- Steam the glutinuous rice till soft, then pour in coconut milk+salt. Stir it and steam it again.
- Ready to serve once the taste mix well.

*Optional: you can add in “pandan leave” into the glutinous rice for better taste.

Preparation of Durian Paste:
- Use ~5pcs of durian, remove seed.
- Mix well with coconut milk.
- Boil it and add some sugar and salt.
- Ready to serve.

*I used 1 coconut for both glutinuous rice and durian paste.

Simple? Hehe…. it is

Hup loves the “Durian Rice” but some people may not use to this way of eating. What about you?

Had some chit-chat with friend through IM, checked email, had some reading……

It is time to force myself go to bed again…

Good night, my little princess.

Now is week 19++……

Since last Sat (2 days before week 19th), I started to feel some movement in my growing tummy. I put my hand on my tummy and can feel the soft kick by my little princes Her papa can feel it too

I can feel the same movement in the following days. Usually she just kicks for 2 to 3 times and then get sleep again. Just for tonight, she woke up around 9pm++, keep moving and kicking for at least 10 times. I can feel that her kicking is getting stronger, think she is getting bigger and bigger, and it is time to bully mommy…hehe…. She stopped after ~20mins

Haha… now I still enjoy the kicking as it is still very soft. When she is getting much bigger, probably I won’t enjoy it anymore if the kicks made mommy pain

Now is 3am…. and I am still writing blog.

I slept around 11pm, woke up around 1am++ and just couldn’t sleep…..  I laid on bed, sofa for ~1hr++ and decided to write the blog since I can’t get myself to bed.

Well…..3am is too late for a pregnant lady. Guess it is time to force myself to bed again.

Good night. Hope you won’t see my blog at 4am, 5am, 6am

Counting sheeps….1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10………………………….100…………………..10000000000…… zzzzzzzzzz…..

One month before I was pregnant, my mom had a dream. She dreamt that Hup carried a baby to her and the baby was so cute and chubby. I can felt my mom’s happiness when she described her dream to me. Yeah, her dream came true one month later

Last weekend, I had a dream. I dreamt that my friend Steph was pregnant and having a baby girl. I received a call from Mark tonight (Steph’s husband), sharing the good news with me that Steph is pregnant. Wow… , my dream came true after 2 days, though he hopes that the dream of ‘having baby girl’ will not come true. Hehe.. he prefer boy Good to hear the good news.

About one month ago, I dreamt that my colleage’s wife just gave birth a baby and I was busying choosing gift for his baby. I shared the dream with him and he told me that his wife had a mis-carriage on last year end. I told him not to worry as my dream will come true I was thinking….. yeah, it was about time to give birth if his wife didn’t have the mis-carriage. Anyway, I hope my dream will come true soon

I was standing in the living room and out of sudden, I vomitted uncontrolledly and continue vomitting while I rushed to toilet. So bad, this is the first time I dirty up my living room. Luckily my stomach just filled with Vitagen and water, so, it was quite easy for me to clean up.

Around 8pm++, I rest on the bed, somehow I weren’t felt so good. I coughed… Oops….relax… relax… I told myself. I took a deep breath so that I won’t thrown up on my bed. I immediately rushed to toilet once I felt better. Sigh…..I kept vomitting once I reached the toilet bowl… whatever I had for dinner… Gone

I decided not to go to work today, even I felt much better in the morning. Just want to give myself a good rest. I do have a bit nausea throughout the day, but luckily I didn’t vomit.

Sometimes, I felt that there is little pain in my tummy. Guess my little factory continue the work of expanding, so that my little baby have more room for growth

Hehe….. my little princes, don’t be naughty ya…

We departed to Desaru Beach (Johor) on June 21st, for the celebration of Hup’s birthday

Initially I wanted to have BBQ there… but Hup preferred Steamboat as the preparation is much easier. I woke up around 9am++ for the preparation of Steamboat’s raw food, got meat ball, Taiwan’s sausage, vege, mushroom, clam and others. We put all the raw food into an ice box and covered up with a lot of ice

It took us about 2hrs++ before we reached there. It was about 5pm ++ when we arrived at the hotel and we went for walk along the beach. Enjoy the breeze, scenery and it was so relax……

We started our TomYam steamboat dinner around 7pm++… felt so special as this is first time we had the steamboat at hotel We sang birthday song later and Hup cut the birthday cake

Having seafood lunch at Sungai Renggit is a “must” whenever we go to Desaru We ordered vege, dragon prawn and fried little “sotong”. Yummy yummy !! The lunch only cost us ~RM70…. so Cheap !!!

We had a wonderful weekend !!!
