这个对话发生在两个月前...
我：你知道吗，今天在公司，那个Vanessa真讨厌, 他叫我“大波莲”（也许是为母乳的关系吧，胸部比以前伟大许多）...
Mr Kuan: Vanessa说谎，竟然可以逗得你那么开心...
我：Vanessa没说谎啦！我也没开心...我只是把事实说给你听而已啦...
Mr Kuan: 你明明显得很开心....
我：.... （激死）

Cotton Cheese Cake
My mom used to make very tasty cotton cheese cake.... But i cant remember how she makes it, just remember she put some hot water in a baking try while baking the cheesecake....
Mr Kuan requested me to make one of this. Here i go, my first attempt on cotton cheese cake. After the cake has cooled down, it was so soft and melt in the mouth. Mr Kuan said DELICIOUS! Somehow, after i keep it in the fridge, the cake harden and not as soft as it used to be. But the taste is still good. Guess, my family needs to keep eating chiffon cakesss and cheese cakesss in coming days :)

Lemon Chiffon Cake @ Jun 18, 2011
I have always wanted to make chiffon cake and yet, dare not try to make it. I have heard so much failure in making this cake. And everyone said, it require some skill in making it.
Today i decided to venture into chiffon cake. Of course, before doing so, i have read a lot of chiffon cake recipes and the skills in doing so in order to make it perfect. (又不见我在工作上那么勤力... hehehe)
WIP....
Before remove it from the mould...
I am so happy to see the cake raises to the expected level and did not collapse. The most important point to take note is to turn the cake upside down to let it cool once it is taken out from the oven.
My first Lemon Chiffon Cake... Taste great. Soft and fluffy. My maid said, the texture is same like those i bought from outside. So happy :)

Almond Flakes @ Jun 17, 2011
I used to make this bake almond flakes quite often for a period of time. I even share it with my colleagues. And they like it so much. It is crunchy and most importantly, less sugar. It has been almost 2 years since i last bake this dessert.
I resume on my baking experience recently. Somehow, this round of bake almond flakes is not prefect. A bit thick. Will keep trying.

父亲节
我：你为什么发Ipad2 的email 给我？ （Email 是关于：The Best present in Father’s Day… Ipad2）。你不是说和你爸去吃晚餐就得了吗？
Mr Kuan: 不，是要问你，你和BB 在父亲节有什么表示？
我：你要有什么表示，你自己去问BB！
Mr Kuan: (看着OSIM 天王椅的广告)。 你可以和BB, 买天王椅送我！
我：我和BB送你天王椅！！！ 你疯了！！！那个天王椅起码要几十千！母亲节时，你和BB也没有什么表示呀！
Mr Kuan: 不是在家吃饭了吗？
我：(激死....)

开工啦！
放了两个月的产假， 明天终于得上班了。
上个星期，试了试我的鞋子，发现我的脚竟然大了一号，真糟糕！我平时最爱买鞋，算一算有二三十双鞋。现在大部份鞋可以拿去煲汤了！
身形方面， 当然比以前胖， 可是也不是说像个胖奶奶。现在的体重，就像我在北京最胖的时候。很想减肥，但不可以。喂人奶，得吃比平时多。还记得有一次看医生，他问我一天里吃了什么。我告诉他，早上多数吃一两片米面包，一杯美禄。他说我早上吃太少，得吃三片面包，一杯饮料。或两片面包，一条香蕉，一杯饮料...除了早餐，早餐后还得吃茶点，午餐，午餐后茶点， 晚餐，宵夜...这根本是远远超出我平时吃东西的分量。 但没办法，我得这样吃，喝大量的水，这样才会有充分的母乳。如果以前我这样吃法，真的会肥的不成人样！
不过说实的，喂奶后，自然而然会想吃东西，喝水。看吧，能喂多久就多久了。

物理治疗
这两个月内，除了天天在照顾bb外, 我做最多的是看医生…
生bb 后, 我的尾椎 实在是痛得不行，我不能直直的坐着，弯腰，蹲着都有问题。 BB 满月后，我不得不去求医。我已做了一个月的物理治疗， 情况好了许多，但还没痊愈。真的希望我可以向以往一样。医生叫我别担心，我会没事的。

Jaundice
On the very second day, Doctor confirmed Ashley had jaundice and advise to stay back for monitoring. Ashley needs to put in the "sun tan" box for 24 hours. Hence, i need to stay back to company Ashley since i have to feed her. I dont mind to stay back for another day since i can have another day rest in hospital.
Ashley gets better after staying in the "sun tan" box and can discharge (3rd day old). Doctor advise us to sun tan her every morning at home for a week.
- Ashley just finished her "sun tan". The hairband like thing on her head is use to cover her eye during the tanning process. She looks cute though.

Ashley Birthday | Feb 15, 2011
Early in the morning about 4am (Feb 15, 2011), I had the very first so called contraction. I thought my stomach ache and went to the toilet and try to pass motion. Somehow, nothing comes out. I went back to bed and try to sleep. But the pain comes back. I went to the toilet again. I remember I went to the toilet 3 times with nothing comes out. Only after that it rings my bell that the pain is not stomach ache, it is my labor contraction. I timed the pain to make sure it is a regular pain and comes in approx every 5-10 minutes.
I called my god sister (a mother of 2) at 5.30am and tell her what happens to me. She confirmed that it is my contraction and asked me to clean myself and take a nice warm shower then eat something before admitting to hospital. After my shower I checked myself, I saw some blood.
By time I reached hospital, is already 6.30am. My contraction is getting nearer and more painful. Nurse took a checked in me and told me I already 5cm dilated (u need to have 10cm dilated before the delivery). Doctor later said i should be able to deliver my baby around noon. I took an epidural around 8am. My water bag burst itself around 10am. After the epidural, my contraction pain disappeared. I enjoy the waiting time by listening to music, checking mails via my phone, reading book. Somehow the dilation is so so so slow. By noon, I only 6-7cm dilated. Then doctor said I should able to delivery around 3pm…. Wait wait wait….
Up until 3pm, I started to feel the contraction again. And the pain is getting nearer and severe. I thought I should be pain free after the epidural. But I can still feel the pain. IT IS SO PAINFUL!!!!!.... The nurse added my epidural dosage, but the pain is still there, I don’t know why. I thought I should be fully dilated by then but I only 8cm dilated. And it took like century to get 1cm dilated. When I am 9cm dilated, Mr Kuan keeps asking the nurses, can i start pushing now. The pain is really killing me.
I remember, I tried to push my baby out lasted for 1.30 hours, but the baby cant come out. The doctor said he needs to do a forceps. I refused and said I want to push my baby out myself. The doctor was stunt at that moment. He said normally people will give up after 30-45 minutes of trying. But I have tried for 1.30 hours. And it has already passed the threshold time of 1 hour. He said he must do a forceps if not I am putting my baby at risk.
With the severe contraction pain… I only delivered my baby at 7pm in the evening. From morning 4.30am to 7pm… approx 15 hours.
Very naturally, when I hold my baby, the purple, bloody, sticky baby… I cried of joy.

Superstitious
There are so many superstitious during pregnancy. If you really follow everything, most probably you only can sit at home doing nothing. Just to name a few of them.
- Cannot hold any scissors or knife
- Cannot do any needle or sewing work
- Cannot move the bed
- Cannot perm or dye your hair
- Cannot do any manicure or pedicure
- Cannot do any renovation
- Cannot use the drill or hammer
- Cannot visit the dentist
- Cannot take x-ray
- …….
Above mentioned are some of the common superstitious which a pregnant lady should refrain from doing so. Somehow above are the things I did or I did more than what people said cannot.
My house is still under renovation during my first trimester of pregnant. On and off I need to come to my house and supervise the work. After we have shifted in to the new house, there are still some minor works that need to touch up by our own hands. So you can imagine the renovation part work that I need to involve. My very own thoughts are if you can’t explain scientifically why I can’t do that particular work; then please don’t stop me from doing so.
On the hair part, I did not dye my hair but I straighten my hair during that time. I read from the web site that there is no scientific proof that dying hair will cause the chemical to flow into the body and affect the baby. Just have to make sure that the ventilation is good at the saloon.
I visited the dentist 3 times during my pregnancy. Of course I have consulted my own doctor. His advice is to do it after the first trimester. I extracted one of my wisdom teeth in my 4th month of pregnancy. Can’t help it, the toothache is bothering me. Then in my 2nd trimester, visit the dentist twice to do some filling. I even took an x-ray. Of course I did make sure that it is safe to so.
With all the common superstitious, thanks god, I born a healthy baby girl on Feb 15, 2011.
