GoodBye 2014!

Ho Ho Ho~~~~
La La Laaaa....

Hi, here I reappear again!
Ta-da!!!

So many things have happened... but the biggest one is -----> YOURS TRULY IS PREGNANT!!! 
Muahhahaha..... Second baby coming to join our mini Kang family... :DDD



When you did not ask for something and yet something was given to you.... 
Then, that is a gift...
And this is indeed a pleasant wonderful gift granted to us and we are so so soooooo very grateful!!!
I trust that You have plans for us and I thank You for everything that You have planned for us.

Dressing up for Christmas 2014... Super blur, I just realised. Sorry.. Just wanna parade my round round tummy actually... Hahahhha~~~
After that few awful months of first trimester, which mostly consist of me hurling my gut out, feeling sick the whole day, feeling sorry for myself, pondering why the heck is making a tiny human being so damn hard and wanting to slap Dear Hubby most of the times (sorry my dear,  it's true. How come only we women have to suffer for the continuity of our generation while the guys can leisurely go about their lives as normal as possible. Like continue to use the fruity Victoria Secret shower gel, like continue to spray that wooden sandal perfume, like continue to  eat without having to vomit them out again, like having their body parts just as they were, like having their body obey their commands. So yea, I was bitchy too then. Trust me, you will too if you have experienced puking rice and it came out from your nostril. Fml I know. Having a baby means your body is wrecked. Of course I hated his living gut. So sorry. You know I love you, in a weird way, at that time).

And then.... one fine beautiful day... everything bad stopped. Hmmmm.... second trimester came and so does the glow of happy pregnant me. :)))
Everything turned delightful and marvellous again.... Ahhhhh~~~
I started cooking and tending for my family again. I started to clean and do laundry. I started studying again. I started to like washing my hair again. Haha. I started to apply my facial products again. I started to drink water. Really. I started to enjoy bathing Maya Girl again. And dancing and singing with her again. 
I started to feel like a human again...

Seriously so fat dy... Need to find new centre of balance everyday so that I don't topple over. Hahahha!

Before, the house was a mess. Dirty laundry would be stacked high up in piles..well, until Dear Hubby did them. Clean ones would be on the guest bed, not folded. We would have to rummage through that heap pyramid of clothes to find Maya Girl her PJs. Her toys were everywhere. In the room, in the drawers, in the toilet, in the kitchen, you name it. Bills were not settled. I barely have the energy to shower myself, trying not to let myself die from the smell of the body shampoo. And I had pimple outbreak like a raging hormonal teenager. Oily face oily scalp oily hair. Driving back home from work was quite the dangerous feat and then I would lie like a deadfish until the nausea have magically evaporated. Everything was a  big BIG challenge to the perfectionist OCD me. Yup, those were the dark days of first trimester. And therefore the months of absence from cyber space.. Hah~ I was even blessed with Maya Girl's cooperation when I most needed it... 

And to think that I would have a big ZERO visitors to my blog after these months.. 
Yea, I was quite shocked... good kind of surprise to see that I do get many visits while I was off nursing my pregnant mind and body.

Thanks for the support!!!
Muah muah muah~~~

Just to recap... I'll post random pictures that I have taken over the course of these few months...



Taken from my frequent flying months.. Taken when I first realised we were blessed with another seedling inside of me...

Yea... I really really really do miss the thin me... I wonder sometimes if I can lose all my pregnant weight this time around.. 



My BFF's happily ever after big day... No, I wasn't drunk giving my maid of honour speech.. Took me a long time to compose the speech okay.. *sniff sniff* Maybe I will post my speech one day up here... :PP
She was soooo beautiful that night... So pretty...






Winter Solstice Tangyuen making in process, with my little helper who really gave no help...
I had to wipe and mop the place as that green cloth did no good. Maya Girl was too excited to roll the tangyuen, like playdough...


My first ever tangyuen that I made myself. First time ever. Without my mum's help, though I did kacau her with my frequent phone calls, bombarding her with questions. LOL.
In the end, I made the traditional tangyuen with ginger soup and a tinge of pandan leaf aroma.
Maybe next year I'll attempt the peanut one.



My proud gorgeous spread on Tangyuen day festival. Black pepper pork with seafood sambal and mixed vegetable. USA red grapes and tangyuen for dessert. Porridge for Maya Girl. :D



 At my favourite place - Bella Italia for Christmas Dinner. We had juicy roasted turkey with cranberry sauce and some turkey pasta... :D Very the traditional Christmas meal... 



I woke up on Christmas Day to find this beautiful stretch of gifts, nicely arranged. Dear Hubby always knows that I am a truly sucker for things like this. Haha... Even had a small mini Christmas tree as decor, because he had hijacked my exquisite tree to decorate his own practice! 

Anyway, let's elaborate: A big hi-tea trolley play set for Maya Girl, iPhone 6 for him, that pretty classic velvety green box is for me, with a super sweet note attached. :) 
Hard Rock Cafe Tokyo top and special edition Christmas Disneyland headband for Maya Girl from her beloved yiyi (along with other snacks and tidbits that LeSista spoiling us with...yum yumzzzz!!!) and a box of pretty pretty H&M dress for Maya Girl from her Ah Kong and Ah Ma. Lucky girl she! :DDD
That bottle of sparkling non-alcoholic grapefruit is for the both of us. :P



Ta-da!!! A full set of Crabtree & Evelyn Lily for me, inside that pretty green box.. YAY!!! I have always wanted to buy and try but never, because when you are a parent, you kinda no longer spend THAT kind of money on yourself as much. So thank you Dear Hubby! It smells heavenly lily!!!







Maya Girl ripped off her present first thing she got up and happily pushing her trolley around, force-feeding the both of us with her new plastic spoon and honey jar!! Hahahhaha!!! Blessed with her sleeping and behaving throughout our road trip back to Sibu for the Christmas.. :)))




The crazy orgasmic prawn mee of Sarikei, which I was absolutely craving all the way... 
Super delicious, just as I remembered it.. 
Pricey (RM37 one bowl) but oh-so-freaking-worth-it!!!

And on the left, gingerbread marshmallow that I found in Cold Storage... Hahhaa... 
I even brought along traditional fruit cake merely in spite of the celebration.. 


Visiting the snowman at night... :)



She kinda got thrilled with the props... Hehehe... We could't get a proper picture of us without her moving... 



So cute right my little girl...
Growing up finely and so fast too! 
Mummy loves you very much!!

Well..... 2014 is coming to an end now...
Pregnant mummy wanna tuck in...
But before that, let's see if I have managed to complete my 2014 resolutions...

1) I vowed to maintain my weight this year.... which never happened since I pregnant.. I am now 10kg heavier *OMG I know!*

2) I wanted to travel more in 2014.... I never really did unless you count that flying countless times to KL and back and to Sibu.. *no fun* 

3) I wanted to host at least one party and be a good host... well, I did hosted Maya Girl's first birthday, but it was at a restaurant... Anyways, I hoped I did good... 

4) One of my 2014 resolutions was "to carry Maya Girl each time she cries".... oh my, no wonder she 'owns' me now.. who makes such ridiculous resolution!!?!

5) I wanted to argue less and listen more in 2014... which was kinda hard to keep considering I got pregnant and such a perfect excuse to blame it all on the hormones.. Hah!


Geezzzz..... :))))

Perhaps I should stop making resolutions. Hahahah!
Let's just hope that all my 2015 resolutions (ya, I greedily and ambitiously wrote a whole long list.. Hahhaha...) will make it!!!
Gambateh~~~




Maya Girl holding a picture of us, when I was 5months pregnant with her.
Can't believe we are going to have our second child soon... Next year... :)))
Brought back so much of treasured memories and seeing her holding the picture tight like that... makes me teary... can't freaking help it...
Obviously it is the pregnant hormones causing the emotional me. Obviously.



HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015 PEOPLE!!!!
Hope 2015 will bring more good luck to Malaysia and to all!!!
