<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Yes, our Baby G is ONEderful. If only my stamina could match hers and being the sole baby carer is not this challenging, I would have wished for her to stay this small chubby self for much longer.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">To celebrate Baby G's 1st Birthday, I gave myself a challenge to bake her a 2-tier cake. Why is it a challenge? Before this, I have not successfully baked a cupcake that has risen properly. What more a <strike>whole</strike> 2-tier cake? </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">To make sure I get the cake right this time, I did 3 cake trials to get the right colour, texture & taste. I had chosen to make the kind of cake I saw trending on Pinterest the recent years - ombre layer cake. So I made my very own version, a pink ombre sponge layer cake with Pandan (Screwpine) flavour. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">After the first trial, I realized the normal food
colouring from the local supermarket shelf is not suitable for baking
because the colour would evaporate in the heat. I went to find solution online and discovered colour gel paste is the way to go.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The second trial was when I successfully achieved the pink ombre. But unfortunately, the texture & taste were not quite right. It was densed, heavy and a tad too sweet.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Though this trial cake had four layers, it looked short because it did not rise properly. A day after that, I had the third trial to ensure my cake rises. I did a normal oblong cake in a bread pan without layers & colouring. It turned out fine. NO photos taken for that, nothing much to see anyway. </span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Then, with a leap of faith, I proceeded to make the actual 2-tier birthday cake. Baked the bottom tier & covered it in regal icing. I had so much unforeseen problem with it, it took 5.5 hours to complete. The following day, I continued doing the same with the top tier which took 3 hours. On the third day (gee, doesn't that sound like something you hear from the bible?), I finished the cake with icing decorations. This too took much longer than it should because the icing decorations were made without the proper craft tools. The only shaping tools used were a cocktail pick and both ends of a chopstick. Besides the icing, I also made two mini buntings and printed some stuff for the decoration. I love how adding the bamboo sticks could instantly add height to the cake :)</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Ok, too much words. Now, I shall let the photos do the taking.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Well, I was inspired by a beanie hat design I saw in a departmental stall.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">For the life of me, I can't remember which brand it was. It costed approximately £50 after 70% discount. When I got home, I googled to read more about the design. This beanie with attached veil look was showcased during Spring Fashion 2012. I discovered several designers made their debut on veiled beanie hats - Bernstock, BCBG Maxazria, Jil Sander, British milliner Stephen Jones; with prices ranging from £80 to £150. Later I also found some more affordable versions by Miss Selfridge & ASOS. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This fashion had only very little attention from the time it was first introduced but they appeared to have received some appreciation on Pinterest & Etsy.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It was not a big trend which the UK high street retails took on, so I have not seen that beanie in most shops. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Anyway, I decided to give it try. This is my 4th head gear since I came to London.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I love wearing my diy version. And I also enjoy the nodding & smiling approvals I got from strangers that stared and stared at the hat. At a lunch, some posh ladies from the other tables complimented on the hat. Another lady on a busy tube platform even reached out to stop me just to ask where I got it. All that just for £5 ^_^</span></span> <br />

<span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The mister decided we should check out the Hyper Japan. It was convention held at Earls Court at the end from our home. It was not a straight foward trip with the pram in tow. I always feel I have to bring the whole house when we bring Baby G with us :D<br /><br />Anyway, the night before I felt one ought to put on a little something extra when attending any Japanese event. So I quickly looked through my stash of craft supplies that are easy to reach (as more than 10 boxes from previous house move are still sealed & hidden away). </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Nowadays, I would only do a project when there is a need for it. So, this project was done because there was a need for suitable wall displays.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I was commissioned to come up with some creative solution for blank walls of a facility room which has just been repainted. There was no budget for this project, so I tried my best to diy the frames with A2 mounting boards instead of buying actual photo frames.</span><br />

It's Throwback Thursday! ^_^<br />
<br />
While Baby G was still in the womb, I was excited and couldn't wait to kit up for her nursery corner. One of the things I so wanted to do was to hand make a soft toy for her. So I began ogling at Pinterest and decided I would like to make something whimsical but not too ambitious. I started with the idea of a cloud.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The materials used were fabrics from clothing I almost discarded. Among them </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
were socks that shrunk after several wash. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4ha1DblOqTv3VDZU5S0XzXBBRvtVlT9ZxIDuPyxHKG7HVZw2LELkdCybSkMIsarHTXG2BbbH9btPJXtjJdiUx5nvFqTPkuYglCu8guv7kjekR_0SfU9TS2cSKzNwj11Njm3PokBcBVJk/s1600/DSC_9752+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4ha1DblOqTv3VDZU5S0XzXBBRvtVlT9ZxIDuPyxHKG7HVZw2LELkdCybSkMIsarHTXG2BbbH9btPJXtjJdiUx5nvFqTPkuYglCu8guv7kjekR_0SfU9TS2cSKzNwj11Njm3PokBcBVJk/s1600/DSC_9752+copy.jpg" height="320" width="240" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I choose the most colourful pairs. Cut to desired shapes and sewn it the edges up </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
before I started stuffing it.</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then, I also used a dark grey cotton turtle neck I had. After that, two sheer pink circles </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of felt were for the cheeks and simple hand sewing done for the eyes & smile :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
When those sewing were done, I sewn the cloud edges and left one opening to allow stuffing </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of the fibre I took from an existing cushion I opened earlier for another project. This is </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
definitely a cheaper way of getting the fibre than to buy a whole new pack of it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sewn it shut after that.</div>
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So... there you go, a cloud buddy for my Baby G. It was the first item </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in the cot while it was still pending for more furnishings. <br />
<br />
I think I could almost hear some of you whisper, "Why such a dark cloud, not white or blue?" It's for very practical reasons. I did not want white as it gets dirty easily. Did not use blue either because I wanted more pink to come through in this creature to signify it's a baby girl I made it for... though I usually cringe at too much pink and I always try to use more neutral colours in her other baby stuff. And this dark grey soft fabric came from my top, so I thought... <i>that's made with mummy's top</i>, another personal touch to it.<br />
<br />
She is now 8.5 months old and I am glad she has taken to it. Just a couple of day ago, she moved it (while she commando crawled) from one corner of the cot to the other end where she fell asleep. </div>

<span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">When I was commissioned to design and produce this artwork, I was really excited about it. A small square piece of cloth was given as the base material. The artwork would be included in a prayer tapestry which would showcase many other churches' artworks in England for Lift Up 2014, Elim's Year of Prayer. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This complex project landed on me suddenly but fortunately I managed to finish it in just 6 days.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Did you know that Sanrio Hello Kitty has its first theme park outside Japan? It is located in Johor, a Malaysian state at the tip of the peninsula, next to Singapore.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Hello Kitty has many fans among the Malaysians and in my opinion, particularly among the oriental Asians. McDonald's in Malaysia would occasionally design a collection of Hello Kitty soft toys for sale. And fans would queue up to purchase the meals just for the sake of collecting each design.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Anyway, this is a congratulatory post to applaud my sister-in-law, Mei Li, who has been scouted & found online by a </span></span><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Philadelphian book publisher to share her amigurumei patterns for Sanrio.</span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
On 7th October 2013, exactly two months from the arrival date of Baby G, my mister came home with a lovely bouquet while I was making my last batch of cards to announce Baby G's arrival.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, I don't think I am a perfectionist but some people would say I am a bit <a href="http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsessive-compulsive_disorder" target="_blank">OCD</a>. Before Baby G arrived, I made sure her arrival cards would be designed, completed and ready with addresses and stamps to be mailed.<br />
<br />
I started making this card one month after we moved into a new home and two months away from the delivery due date. Yes, a little crazy, but I like to plan ahead whenever I can esp. when I know I would not be able to spare any time to do anything else other than caring for my new love :)<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
This was me sitting cross-legged in front of a makeshift table churning out cards for the last time before starting a new lifelong 'project' - raising Baby G. Doing this while there were still boxes yet unpacked.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Not being a particularly girly girl myself, I decided to be a little easy on the pink while designing the card. My idea of using the feather on the card cover was to signify a newborn as light as a feather. <br />

It was a great opportunity for me to use these small doilies. I had fun doing the heat embossing of the words on them. <br />

This 'lottery scratching patch' thingy was an idea I saw on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/celinejo/" target="_blank">online</a>. I incorporated it in the announcement slip concealing the full name of Baby G.<br />

These were the announcement slips stuck on the left pages while the right pages were a collage of Baby G's photos. Forgot to snap a picture of the right page. Oh, mummy brain!<br />

Just as I intended it to be - simple but classy. Nothing too girly to give away the gender before they revealed the concealed name and the pink wrapper hiding the baby photo.</div>
<br />
<br />
Guess I wouldn't be producing that many cards for a long while. Baby G is rather needy at the moment. She is uber adorable!<br />

<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">On 8th of March, I woke up to a trending online news relating to Malaysia. My heart sank.</span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight scheduled to fly from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing reported missing during its journey. All over the internet, social media and tv, it became top news. A total of 239 pax inclusive of tech crew, cabin crew & passengers went missing with the aircraft. It's a baffling mystery.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Well, ya, I know... it seems a bit late that I am only blogging about it now since it happened 75 days ago. My Canadian in-laws were here to visit us and esp. to meet our newborn baby when this saddening news came along. I was very affected by it but I had to hold it in as I did not want to pass such negative vibes to my baby and my in-laws holidaying in the UK.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I am affected by it for several reasons. Firstly, I was a cabin crew with MAS and though I do not fly in the uniform anymore, I still do have ex-colleagues that are still with the company. Though none of my batch mates went missing with the plane, the crew on board might have crossed paths with me some time ago. I had a flashback of words by a trainer at the MAS training school, "Never leave home without making peace with your loved ones... you'd never know what happens next". I am sure I am not the only (ex)crew who feels it could have been anyone else going on that plane... it could have been me.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Secondly, it's not just a tragedy happening to any nation but to one I am very much a part of. A tragedy of such scale would usually draw the world's sympathy. But it gets personal when it is your tragedy. Your world comes to a halt. For at least a while. To me it is personal because I do somehow feel emotional whenever something good or bad happens to my birth land. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span>
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Lastly, seriously... I did not expect this but a few days into the big search of MH370, a close buddy from my high school told me that the missing aircraft is directly affecting someone we know. My primary cum high school mate, YY, who just got married in December 2013 is devastated that her husband boarded that missing plane. I can only try to imagine how overwhelming it is for her. Well meaning friends on social media were messaging her and trying to console & encourage her. I did nothing to contact her as I do not think it would make her feel any better and I think no one in her position would care much for social networking at that moment.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">By day 17 of the search, the Malaysian PM made an official announcement that all lives on the MH370 is deemed lost. I have yet offered any condolences to YY as I do not believe the PM's announcement is valid. It is unfounded. I do not know what to think other than it is a rash conclusion and it is not a proper closure for the families of the 239 missing persons from 14 nations. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">During this period, some opportunists took the advantage of the trending news by starting FB pages, publish books (while mystery still unresolved) and create more havoc in the local political scenes - all for their own gain. To my shock, even the entertainment world is making a commotion - Zhang ZiYi suggested people to boycott Malaysia & its products. This led to chinese netizens urging to also boycott innocent Malaysian artistes such as Fish Leong, Gary Chaw, Lee Sinje and Ah Niu. </span></span></span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I think it got really out of hand when these netizens started cursing Fish Leong and her unborn child. The anger has been wrongly channeled. </span></span></span><span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sigh. Isn't there already enough pain? </span></span></span><span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Drama indeed! </span></span></span><span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I wonder why they did not highlight the bigger Malaysian names like Designer Jimmy Choo, Actress Maggie Q... or even Actress Michelle Yeoh whom Zhang worked with over a couple of international films (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon & Memoir Of Geisha).</span></span></span><span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />While the world slowly pulls away from this tragedy to another (South Korean Ferry, 276 Nigerian Girls and etc), I am still affected by this one. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #45818e;">As of now, I still choose to pray and continue to hope that the 239 people are surviving. </span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: #990000;">Together with a few others, we used to play all sorts of silly games & activities on board to while away time during the journey home which coincides with the traffic jams during peak hours. Among the many things we did while the bus was on the move were sinnet weaves for key chains, sharing junk food, pat-a-cake clapping games, thumb wrestling, water guns, exchanging name cards (with a cartoon or an artiste's photo) and autograph books (covers were wrapped in gift wrappers)<span style="color: black;">...</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The mister messaged me from work and asked me if I could do his colleague a favour by doing some calligraphy work for them - to be used in their presentation to a client. I was thrilled. I immediately </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">said yes</span>. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This is not the first time I did calligraphy for a company. The first time was when I was commissioned by <b><i><a href="http://www.vancleefarpels.com/eu/en/?from_unlocalized=1" target="_blank">Van Cleef & Arpels</a></i></b> to write the names on dinner place cards for their guests. It was for the dinner launch of the brand in the Malaysia outlet. My eyes widened when I saw the name list which included the King, the Queen, the infamous local stars, tycoons & etc. Felt so honoured to have the privilege to write their names and be seen by them. And some other times, I did calligraphy on invites for my previous employer.</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Anyway, the mister came home with this. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: #741b47;"> Well, I know these days the computer has so many type fonts, hand calligraphy is seldom needed and appreciated. But I must say the elegance & the sophistication of the real calligraphy can never be replaced by the rigid perfect strokes of the printed serifs. And it will always be an art appreciated by the aristocrats. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">What was rarer? We found a set of keys by my feet just where we stopped for this pic. Fortunately, there was a Sainsbury Nectar card attached to it. So we handed it to the nearest Sainsbury and suggested them to contact the rightful owner as the membership number on the card would have the details needed. They said they would also contact the police as part of the procedure. A few days after that, I even emailed Sainsbury to ensure the keys would not be ignored and forgotten. I know how inconvenient it could be when one loses keys. I just did last year.</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I realized just how beneficial to have a membership card of some sort attached to keys.Without it, the keys would other wise normally be unidentified when found. Unless it is a criminal or special case when they actually bother to run forensic tests and all.</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ea9999;">We celebrated Baby G as she turns one month old. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #ea9999;">As this celebration is a Chinese tradition, we also made sure we made </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ea9999;"> some red eggs. The egg symbolises fertility and birth </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Friday. Winter. Sunny blue sky. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Yup. At 8.30am in the morning, I felt like I wet my pants. Was not too sure if it's that or... <b>my water broke</b>. I did not tell my husband before he left for work. As this was my first pregnancy, everything was new to me. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">But somehow by 2.30pm, some very mild sensation tells me I did not just pee in my pants. Though I was home alone, I was not scared at all. I was overjoyed and excited that this special moment was coming. I broke the news to my better half and told him not to rush home but to do as much as possible today for a proper hand over before going on paternal leave from tomorrow (Saturday) onwards. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Then, I messaged my parents 6,500miles away. My mother freaked out and called me right away. I had to calm her down. She was so surprised I am still so chill. I surprised myself too. Hahaha...</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I also told several friends that my water has officially broken. Dear<i> <span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>S</b></span> </i>who just gave birth 3 weeks before me, volunteered to chauffeur me hospital for assessment. God bless her. While waiting for her to arrive, I quickly finished my half-packed maternity bag, tidied the house and tried to make sure all baby stuff is ready & in place. Oh, I couldn't help smiling from ear to ear. I couldn't contain my joy.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This
is a book I have heard about since 15 years ago while I was still a
teenager. Towards the third trimester, I began reading this book and
claiming God's truth against fear. The prayers in it helped me keep calm and focus on God's goodness and not pain. From it, I learned not to anticipate pain or anything negative but to be positive and to turn my eyes to My Deliverer. </span></span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It is subjective on how much this book really helps respective preggers. In my humble opinion, it depends on how much you believe in it and how determined you are in claiming God's truth. I highly recommend this book.</span></span></span><br />

For many years, it was nicely kept by my mother until sometime during my teenage years, she just decided to hand it to me for my own safekeeping. And guess what again? This lovely suit is now home with me... </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">These were made upon the request of a couple who were getting married in 2005.

<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Unfortunately, these boxes did not last through the dinner. I was told that their wedding planner was in a hurry to retrieve the monies from these securely-permanently-glued boxes, he got his assistants to tear them apart. </span></span></span></span><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The boxes were too big for the safe.</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">To my horror, the torn boxes were discarded on spot! Oh, my labour of love being trashed.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Well, nevertheless a lesson learned. Never ever seal a box permanently if you are leaving it at the mercy of others and if you intend to reuse or keep it. I am just glad I did not forget to photograph it (with my then Sony Ericsson feature phone) before handing the boxes to the couple :) Thank God for the digital camera era.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Some days when I just want to be inspired while I laze on the couch, I would be on my i-pad browsing interesting pictures of lovely random stuff on Pinterest.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Though I seldom have much space within the home to do big DIY projects, I can't help not attempting any of these seemingly easy projects especially when there is an opportunity and a reason to do one.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I made this wall art inspired by the many ideas I saw on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/62135669833437456/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>. This one has to do with kitchen towel rolls. For my project, I used mostly the kitchen rolls and some card boards. I avoided toilet rolls because I wanted to avoid the E.Coli. </span></span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-size: small;">The past weeks have been very challenging for me. The almost daily nausea has been so severe that I was homebound for 8 weeks. I could hardly stomach any food and suddenly certain smell of food would offend me. I was hungry but I was also nauseous. Wherever I went within the house, I had a bag in hand. Although I've read and I've been told that this nausea will subside by the second trimester, it was horrendous as long as it lasted. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-size: small;">Well, I am just glad that my 16 hours flight back to homeland was not another episode of nausea. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-size: small;">I am now in the middle of my second trimester and I don't yet look pregnant. The older female relatives would joke about themselves naturally looking more pregnant than me.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-size: small;"> One of the things I did while I was back was to get pampered at the hair salon. </span></span></span><br />
