Heat, food, jet lag, etc...

HEAT...the sweltering heat! Being pregnant, the heat has not been kind to me. My feet and fingers are swelling up since yesterday due to this. I think I have drank tonnes of water to stay hydrated.

FOOD...is still the main attraction to me regardless of the heat. Isn't it amazing when its hot plus spicy food, how it gives the inner kick (including the baby whos appreciating the spice!). I would never miss mak's daily visit to the market...of course, we have to go to the food court first to feed me or she wouldn't get my company to the market the next day hehehe.

JET LAG...still trying to deal with this! I would have to take this mandatory nap at 12pm for 2 hours, and then go to bed at 9pm waking up at 3am looking for food. Well, I don't like to fight this jet lag as laying in bed with the swelling hands, feet and belly is not a comfortable thing to do! At least with the World Cup fever, I wouldn't have to stay up at 3pm by myself.

SHOPPING...can't believe that maternity clothes are expensive! I am not going to pay $39 for a plain ole maternity t shirt when I have 4 different colors of the maternity tops at US$8 each. Well, I don't need more maternity clothes anyway (Ely comforting herself). Baby clothes are still cheaper than back home, so I would have something to shop for!

HUSBAND, I still miss my husband. So kesian, him being home alone with the kitties. Menyampah as much as you want readers, but me love me husband and we can't live too far from each other for too long! Less than 2 weeks to go before I see his sweaty face here!

Thats all I have to say for now. I am running back to the front of the fan...too cool myself!

Ely.. I was 7 months pregnant when I flew back to SG. I swelled up like an elephant!! My legs were HUGE.. Sampaikan my parents and Paul takut and wanted to send me to see the doctor. I didn't swell anywhere else.. Just my legs.. Nasib baik I brought alot of stretch capris and only 1 long pants... as I couldn't fit into the long pants!! Funny thing is, 2 days back in the US.. the sweling went away.. like MAGIC.. I guess it was just the hot weather that my body didnt agree with!!

Aunty Ely, you came at a bad time. It's really, really hot here. I'm always running to the air-con or the fan because I keep sweating.

Hope you're enjoying yourself, nonetheless! :)

Yay, 12 more days 'til I get to join you! Our first order of action should be to find a satay joint that's open late. Perhaps East Coast Park???

Ely Belly, I hope your doing fine and having lots of fun. Per Teri's request(as usual), I want to inform you that Lachelle got another job and her last day is the 14th, also Teri is transfering to the claims division in Hayward so her last day is the 28th... I know so sad but I'm happy for them. I guess by the time you come back they'll be gone, but I'll take pictures (you know we gotta celebrate). Ok, mama, I won't keep just wanted to say hi...
PS - we missed you!!
