Pregnancy week 20 : Baby's development

By 20 weeks, the top of the uterus is at the belly button. The baby weighs about 300 grams (10.6 ounces) and about 16 cm (6.5 inches) long, and is covered in a fine hair called lanugo. Fingerprints are developing as well as permanent teeth buds behind the baby teeth that are already formed. Gender is usually visible through ultrasound by now. The baby can suck a thumb, yawn, stretch, and make faces. You may be able to feel your baby move, which is called "quickening." Loud noises may even cause your baby to startle.

So cute...



During my last checkup, my bb weighs about 302grams. which is pretty align with normal progressment though i have not put more much weigh, yet. Besties are saying my tummy grows bigger and which is rightfully this way and I am contented with my current progressment.



God bless that I was quite an active person before expecting, guess that ease me from feeling tired and legathic. I would encourage frens whom want to conceive to build up the body, by eating nutrious food and regular exercise to strength the body. And I hope I will receive pieces of news that any of my fren is expecting..so that my baby boy has company ! Waiting for u all ya... =)

Announcement to make

Its time for me to make an important announcement.


Perhaps there are some nosey people around but I alwz feel there are people especially my loved ones whom has the truest and sincere concern of me.


Indeed my wedding is kind of short notice. But I am absolutely glad it happens. Man of my life was all along there, but I am just too stubborn to admit the fact that everyone is imprefect. I wish to do all sorts of things before I turn old and wanna grasps what is so-called my time to compensate those years which i wasted with my previous bf. I dint notice his cares and dint realise his presence.


What to say. He is nice and patient on me. I would not ask for more but basically be the woman of his too and be a less-hot-tempered wife. =)

Gladly things had finally true out well for me and it looks like dark clouds finally moved away.
Right now,NEW phase of sherlynn's life.


Back to my main point of this blog entry.


Sherlynn right now cannot go on to attempt dangerous or agressive sports. She missed her iving trip this year however in return... I have a new JOY in my life.

Yes. I AM PREGNANT.

I am going to be a mother real soon at good age of 27. My family and my hus's are superly happy but both besties are ones that are excited all over for me. Ever since Day 1 , I am receiving alot of attentions from everyone and even bestie's hus hada total change of attitude towards me. ( He alwz suan me one mah, now is a 360 degree change and he cares to bring me a chair while i dont need one lor).

One Small discovery to add on......

Random

Sorry for the lacking of posts.. seriously I was very busy with my wedding preparations..finally.. everything had being smooth. And here goes my next phase of journey - Marriage life

People have be asking me :" How u feel about marriage life

I was stucked with this question. How I feel? I,personally thought it should be the same as what we were in the past perhaps equally same, also, what I imagined how two life has become one shouldnt be very much difference from how I spend my time with my partner previously when we are as couples.

So my final answer to everyone is " Same leh"

Perhaps what surprises me will be..and also thinking to myself with whoever askes me this qns would be " Dont tell me u dont know your partner well meh? after marriage will be drastically difference meh?"

Well.. thats individual i guess. Cos some couples dont stay overnites at partner's hse, so the tendency of knowing " your partner's habit" becomes a NEW change.

As mentioned as title, this is a random post. I am going to show how i feast last weekend

The always kaobei si bei nice " bah ku teh" and " 排骨rice" and " 咖喱鱼头"

one word

IT'S YUMMY CAN!

Here is my 1st recommended goody goody nice food if u are a curry, can-take-spicy-stuff person.

Amazingly, I am now a person that can eat chilli padi with my food. Previously, i just drip the soyabean with chilli thats all. I think I can fight with my silver years bestie 40 now. =D

**咖喱鱼头**

I am not a fish lover sad to say, but I indeed like the gravy alot and it has alot alot alot of "Dao ji" given to u and u can add it into the gravy and soften it.... My guy is a "dai ji" lover though. So he highly recommend this if u are a lover of beancurd skin

2nd recommendation

** Bah Ku Teh**

Left pic - Soupy kind . This KL Bah ku teh isnt like Singapore's peppery soup based, it is gravy-based and with alot alot of dao ki again =D. And they usually have it with lean meat... I think wist meat which is very tender than singapore will be pork ribs that are of little meat. On the Right pic - this is dried kind. i personally like this! most cos it is cooked with dired chilli,dried cuttlefish,lady's finger and lean pork meat with dark sweet sauce. *Slurp!*

3rd recommended

** 排骨rice**

I like this the most most most most most lah! Missed it missed it missed... Thinking to franchise to Singapore some more.. hahahaha..

Pictures taken outside the shop..it was previously a side hawker and has prosperous to a big shop. =)

The boss in fact is indeed the one on this menu and in the shop walking around man.. the guys patronize this shop ever since they are in secondary days.. The boss knows them well wor..

1. 排骨 - You cannot imagine HOW INCREDIBLY nice is this freaking plate of pork ribs lor. It is tender and freaking juicy and the sauce it is something i wil die for man...MUST TRY LAH Girls...I promised to bring u to eat this when its August. My favourite leh...
2. Roasted Chicken - I guess this can be found in Singapore but it has this own local tasted kind of feel. I swear it is slightly ~ diff from our side.. I like roasted than hainanese one though..
3. Meat-balls - Keke I seldom find this in the hawker but perhaps my auntie cooks it everynow and then..its meaty meaty big big balls.
4. Curry Chicken - Gravy is tough and chicky is tender. The guys like it man ~ Slurp
5. Mr Bruce Lee - We giao him up to have breakfast with us ( side note - all these are taken in the morning cos this is their style - dont ask me why, they just take heavy meals in the morning which is their culture loh)
6. Mr Levy Tan aka Mr ONZ man - He is alwz there for us whenever we summon him. Last to call first to arrive. Whereas Bruce is the opposite. Hee.

To be continue Part 2....

Plain silly

4.25pm

Me : What's our plan today?
Him : Dinner,transfer money to car rental company,meet philip,pass uncle band to engrave.Home.shower,snore,dream.. Any better ideas?
Me : *Giggle at the silliness*

Final gown fitting

Yday went for my final gown fitting to select one lasr round for my wedding gown.

Damn.. many times went to Julia and keep forgetting of taking some pictures back..* boo*

Suppose to pick one of the gown to try on as I missed it out as it was sent for dry-cleaning and was wore by some Taiwan celebrity " Wang Ren Fu's wife Ji Qin"..

Here is the pic of that EG I mentioned:

Oh boy .. it was taken up on my actual day.. And I didnt get to wear it neither last night.

Waste of a trip down to try it on on others again...

Angels & Demons

I am gonna watch this , on Friday , Anyone?

The team behind the global phenomenon The Da Vinci Code returns for the highly anticipated Angels & Demons, based upon the bestselling novel by Dan Brown. Tom Hanks reprises his role as Harvard religious expert Robert Langdon, who once again finds that forces with ancient roots are willing to stop at nothing, even murder, to advance their goals. Ron Howard again directs the film, which is produced by Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, and John Calley. The screenplay is by Akiva Goldsman and David Koepp. When Langdon discovers evidence of the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati - the most powerful underground organization in history - he also faces a deadly threat to the existence of the secret organization’s most despised enemy: the Catholic Church. When Langdon learns that the clock is ticking on an unstoppable Illuminati time bomb, he jets to Rome, where he joins forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and enigmatic Italian scientist. Embarking on a nonstop, action-packed hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and even to the heart of the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra will follow a 400-year-old trail of ancient symbols that mark the Vatican’s only hope for survival.

Time more plz

So many things to do, so little time left.

There were many hiccups during these period.Quite disappointing. However, to look deeper into the whole picture it isnt that bad, to be honest it was quite a smooth-sailing path when come to selection of venue,bridalshop,getting enough JM and of yday's food tasting.

Some good some bad. However, I am easily contented with nothing exaggerating , boils down to simple and basics. Leave me no headaches.

Everything like a breezes.

In another 23days is my big day. And all efforts will be rewarded with a Happy Wedding Day.
*Yeah*

Say Cheese~

Candid shots with frens I can.. doing all sorts of funnie facial expressions , i can go all out for it...

Boy.. right now just to stay focus and treat it seriously for phototaking & it needs to capture moments beautifully...there are many times I failed and smiled til my cheek trembles...

1st time so tough to post a natural phototaking shots in front of professional..

This evening I am taking a peeks and see the end results.

I am praying hard for a series of good shots... (which 40 and ly ensures me it wil definitely turn out well)

Will it be?

BFF

Recently I am pretty tied up. Apart from work, all my time just goes "whoosh" just like that.

Many things to prepare, many things to liaise and co-ordinate... I guess I cant do much if it is just me alone without my besties around.

Especially shilin and lyana.


Its a bless to have them around. They touched my heart with their gesture in helping me, provide me advise, links,contacts and their presences.

How would I survive this well without them leh?

Crazy but eventful weekend

Oh gosh. I am having this lazy-to-go-to work monday bluez today. Partly becoz I had tired myself out these 2days with activities. Not a moment of rest right after i stepped out of the house. This is crazy.My only rest day are both saturday & sunday however it goes like this (below) how I ended up not-resting. -_-"

My Saturday

Morning 8.30am I am already out for my swim lesson. I was late and rushing like mad coz my instructor was already there waiting for me 20mins. Freshen up,dressed & packed my barangs out of hse in 10mins & literally fly to swimming complex by 8.40am.

No warm-ups, down I went and swam 4laps only arms,4laps only legs,8laps continous swim & 2laps again after corrections of arms strokes. She left me for her next lesson at woodlands which i continued to swim another 45mins by myself. I didnt do well as what she expect me to be.. but I need to constantly tell myself. I need to buck up gradually. Be it for the upcoming races or for self improvement.

Had a relatively late lunch at 11am & fly back hm, unpacked, repacked & rushed down to ECP for a trial of what will it be like for SWIM + RUN kinda race.

Swam for 4X200m in the sea. (It is very straining to be in the strong current whereby you are like swimming in a washing machine.) VERY-THE-TIRED can~

Sherlynn died after that but forced to go another 10km run right after. Dragging my legs liao when I ran. Legs were going on and on and on.. right after 8++km, I gave up. Told myself I am not gg to push myself any further & get suffered from injuries whereby I am not able to train in upcoming 2weeks before race I die in front of u ah!
Hence I walked 2km or so and rest with a freezing 100plus + chocolate milk . Boy am I satifised. =D

Training ended 4+pm,reached hm 5+pm, den rushing to 40 hse for a mini gathering, gambled Black-Jack and lost $20 in 1st 3 rounds being the j-ng gay , tong remaining nite with that $3-4 until I defeated completely until time to say goodbye which is closed to Mid-night.

Following day My Sunday

9.30am out for breakfast. 10plus went Library to borrow some sports magazinez to enrich myself coz I am a sports-know-nothing person.Met a lunatic woman , making a scene in the library (not time to kaypo what happened) then make my way to AMK to buy some toiletries & skincare, had quick lunch and catcha big hoo-haa " The curse of benjamin button " show. Its 2hrs 45mins ya. Would say I had a high expectation of that movies becoz prev nite, Kel & ah ly given fabulous comments abt it. So it like a I-MUST-GO-MOVIE. Never I will come out thinking.. " Hm.. okay lah" But I would comment that I am indeed impressed with the effects of what they do to make both Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett to be this incredibly young and flawless skin. Which in fact both has reached their 40s in real-life.

Making a slot for 40mins foot ($20)& 20mins shoulder massage($16) which is dirt cheap compared to regular prices out there 10mins later I am hungrily digging famous white bee hoon at sembawang liao.. Slurp~~~~~~~~~~~~.

Its like 9.30pm I realised I need to pay a visit at the temple cos this year dog "fan" tai shui.. cheong to nearest temple in Yishun & done for the day.

So am I very-the-tired?

Wanna watch ~

Benjamin Button !

I am going to catch this movies real soon..felt that this is a movie that everyone will goes " Nice,awesome,fantastic" kinda of comments.

Not sure when will I have the time to catch it and who to go with becos I have various party that jioed me.

Last movie I went was InkHeart (With Aileen & Gary) during the eve of CNY's eve. Well..yawning during the entire show. Not Nice. Prior to that was Red Cliff 2. Its nice thou however personally I feel that it is not as exciting than Red Cliff. Probably expectation was higher hence the acticipation presented.

This Saturday I am going to ECP for a trial to swim in the sea + run right after that. Surely faint.

Some updates on the previous post

See activities updates =D

Need to hv that spirit to step forward

Sometimes I just feel that woman seems to be limit in a certain extent in terms of physical aspects. Well..for personal challenge u called it, I would like to try as much as possible this year as long as my body is able to take me without "complaining"..

Review on what is on for me and what is planned.
