I recently turned 27 (almost 2 weeks ago) and had such a wonderful weekend! I had dinner with my folks on the 27th (sat) and we had such a good meal at home. We had a bbq, using one of those instant bbq sets from NTUC and lots of seafood!! We had cod, crab soup, wagyu beef, prawns and scallops! Could you believe that a slab of wagyu beef bought from the deli only costs $39 and it fed 6 of us? If you had eaten it at a restaurant, you'd be pretty broke by now!!
The other dinner i had was of course with lao gong. Though we didn't go out to eat, we had a yummy dinner at home, which he cooked. He has been cooking more recently, because of my growing bump and the fact that i can't stand in one spot for too long (or stand too long, for that matter)... Most recently, he cooked pork soup with ginseng and red dates! It was yummy and nutritious.
On the 3rd Oct, my gal pals from Guidance Branch celebrated my bday with me. Out of the 6 of us, 4 have already left the branch. We don't know how we came to be such good friends, only after being colleagues for a year.. some only a few months, but we can really talk and bond over dinner and drinks. I think it's the time we spent talking during lunches and during off peak season (dec holidays) and sharing of rather intimate things, that brought us together. They treated me to dinner at a ramen place in Robertson Quay, dessert at Canele's and also gave me a wonderful card and lots of Marks and Sparks biscuits! Knowing that i'm perpetually hungry these days, the biscuits were the perfect pressie. I really look forward to our monthly meetings.
I have yet to celebrate with XR and Mag, but it will come soon. I met them recently too and they were so excited about my bump! XR even wanted to be godma. Baby is certainly blessed cos he/she is going to have lots of godmas!! Oh yes, I went to the gynae on wed but baby was crouching.. didn't want to show! I guess we will be in suspense for a while...
Some pics of sara... i forgot to turn on the red eye correction, so she looks a bit scary. But i assure you, she's so lovable, meek and mild!!
