Fish has come back into my daily meal. (after so many months of morning sickness and omitting fish). For now, it’s like having cod fish everyday. I like my fried cod fish, doufu with celery with brown rice porridge. Simple and yummy.
This year is special, as I have an added birthday wish…for bb.
Received many well wishes from friends but didn’t hear from my mum and bro. As usual, my birthday are forgotten by them. So today I celebrated my birthday hb, zann and bb (in my womb).
We didn’t go anywhere special just nearby to have a lunch outside together. Told hb I hate crowded place especially now that I am pregnant.
Last Mon was a big day. My mum and nanny were right, it’s a boy!
Some said my tummy round, some said sharp. Old folk’s belief, sharp means boy and round means girl. My intuition was wrong because I thought I will be having a girl.
Nevertheless, girl or boy, we are still equally happy. Except Zann who is abit disappointed because she is hoping for a mei mei (sister) to play with.
This week, I can feel baby move more and more especially evening time. My belly is growing big. Now I am on a diet, with less sugar and less carbo to prevent gestational diabetes. It’s a pain cos that means cutting down my fav ice cream and sweets. Doc said I have put on weight too fast. So well, need to control abit, for baby’s sake.
Food which I have been craving, but not allowed to eat at the moment.
I was advised by the Doc to take more wholemeal instead.
For now, I will have to watch my blood sugar level. So stressed of thinking what to eat everyday and whether I am eating fine. I haven’t had ice cream for three weeks and I miss that.
- morning sickness was gone 90%. Now that I can drink plain water.
- still crave for hot soupy fish soup noodle and spicy food.
- gained 5kg despite having 3 meals and not snacking much.
- decided to change to more wholemeal, less sugar and oily fried food.
- acne problem on my forehead didnt improve. Never feel so ugly before.
- last week, I bled 3times. Doc advised to get more bed rest cos placenta is low.
we thought it sound risky so we were back to tingkat meals till I recover.
Next Mon is the gender scan which both Daddy and Zann look forward to.
We left CingJing after Breakfast. Mr Chen, the cabby driver whom we had booked picked us and left the mountain. It was a long 6 hours journey to Hualien. An unforgettable journey which left us nauseous until we had no mood to get down to view the mountain sceneries.
Brrrrr…..very cold outside. About 5C.
The urgency left me no choice. Waiting outside the dirty toilet, for Daddy to bring me water cos there was no water supply in the toilet, for me to wash hand.
We had a stopover at a teahouse. We need a hot drink each. See how Zann reacted with her cold hands. She was so happy to feel the warmth.
With Mr Chen, the cabby who drove and showed us around Hualien.
We decided to explore the temple on the mountain.
The temple was built in rememberance the people who built these bridges.
At the Chihsingtan Beach.
Do you know Hualien is the city of marbles and jade. With so many look alike natural stones found on the beach, we thought we found a big piece of marble. Hah.
We found some beautiful stones and decided to bring back SG.
At Hualien Fish market. Down here can buy freshest and cheap sashimi and other seafood. We had our quick dinner before leaving the place.
All these cost less than SG10. Until now I still miss the food.
Stopping by a laundry shop. We had so much worn clothes to wash.
Had some bubble tea while waiting.
We didn’t shop much at hualien night market. Because we need to check in Stone House Minsu as it was getting late already. The lady boss was very friendly. We love her dog, Chocolate.

Fireworks! We had our first try on it in Hualien without afraid at being caught. It was so much fun. The girl was so excited.
Preparing the Kong Ming Lantern. Both Zann and I had our wishes written all over the lantern.
Food which I have been craving, but not allowed to eat at the moment.
