way of walking

There's no way I can walk gracefully and elegantly. Now I actually waddle like a hippo.

Busy but happy life

My tummy non-stops swelling and bloating and now I am in my thirty-third-week of pregnancy, and my tummy is as big as a watermelon. I can't sit, stand or lie in bed for long, otherwise I will have really bad back pain. But so far I am feeling okay, just easy to feel exhausted and I need to take a rest more often than before. I try to continue a normal life to do all sorts of different things, like housework, chores, meeting up with friends, and even going on a demonstration. I feel great when I work, do things and complete some tasks myself. We've got 3-day holidays. I have cleaned the floor and the bathroom, filled in some documents, washed clothes, watered the plants, made a long newborn baby checklist for the stuff I need to prepare, tidied and cleaned all the baby stuff I bought or people gave or lent us, taken part in the demonstration, and marked tons of examination papers. I will go have a grocery shopping soon and am going to cook a good dinner tonight!

Bride Wannabes

Just watched a reality show on TVB called Bride Wannabes. Actually what's wrong with women who stay single? I feel bad for those women who joined the reality show. They are actually quite attractive even without make-up or any special image work. Probably, after the 'training', they are going to be prettier, more expressive, and have more chances to meet guys but it still doesn't guarantee that they are going to be happy and loved forever. A man who really loves you just loves the way you are! Can our media show us a new perspective on single gals? Here is always the stereotyped formula: 1. No Mr. Right. 2. Transform herself into someone prettier (more feminine, more fashionable, fair skin, big eyes ...) and more ladylike (more naive and simple) as if men's prey. 3. Lower the demands and keep devoting herself to a relationship without expecting much from guys. 4. Just simply change herself to be more suitable for men's appetite. 5. Get a man finally. Grrr!!! This is brainwashing women!!! Actually women who don't have a man can be really happy and fun, and do not necessarily have an urgent need to fall in any relationship.

my new kindle

I love reading and writing. If there isn't anything really urgent for me to do, I would really really rather lay back and fetch a book and just go on reading for hours and hours. That's what I really love doing during my vacations, especially near the poolside, on the beach or in the park.

Thank Adrian so much for giving me such a big surprise - Amazon's kindle! It is just a perfect present for me. I just can't help surfing on the kindle store, having an inner urge to buy something. Kindle is a really fantastic reading device and I've got hook on it.

Sick mom

It has been sooooooo long since the last time I wrote here.

We've gone through really eventful months. First, in December, I found out that I am pregnant. Then in January, we moved to our new apartment. At the same time, I got so much to do at school for our big important parent teacher conference day. After that, I kept being so sick. I've got gastric flu twice in a month! Unfortunately this time is so much more serious than the first time. I am still having diarrhea and abdominal cramps which really kills me. And as I am pregnant, the doctor just gave me some mild medicine and it takes a really long time for me to get well. Whatever goes inside my month just upsets my stomach in an instant and goes directly to the toilet bowl. I can't feel my baby. I can only feel pain!!!

Hang in there, baby! My tough baby!

Steve Jobs, the genius

I do feel really bad for the leaving of Steve Jobs. He was really a visionary and innovator. He saw what we hadn't seen. He pushed the world to move forward. He inspired people's minds. He changed people's lives. He was brilliant and amazing. He was also a very charming presenter as I love the ways he introduced new products in Apple events. Just very neat! I really believe that iPhone is one of the greatest invention in the world. (you can guess that I am really really tempted to buy iPhone4S!!!) Steve, you will surely be always missed and remembered. Your name is in the world's history.

tiring holiday

Today is a holiday of some Chinese festival. We just hung around, not even far, and we didn't do much, but after awhile it's enough for me to feel tired, actually really tired. It's probably due to my period which makes me weak and have stomachache and back pain. By the way, when my period arrived, I was a bit disappointed. I thought, maybe, just maybe, this time we might hit the jackpot. However, once again, we aren't that lucky. Well, we didn't put much effort in making a baby as we want the process without much stress. But it turns out that it isn't that easy as we expected. I am not so sure whether I really want to be pregnant, but honestly when I saw my period, I felt like a kind of failure. I know, just try again, and we didn't try hard enough anyway.
