Stuffed turkey

Writing my blog and surfing Facebook to entertain myself cos' hubby is working on his laptop again. Really hope we'll have more time for quality evenings after he's done with his mega presentation tomorrow morn.
Anyways, I'm in my last week of second trimester and starting to feel and look big. Sleeping has been a bit of a challenge too cos' of the new weight which causes me to toss and turn and get belly aches. Then, there's the hormonal ups and downs; adrenaline rush accompanied by moments of restlessness, cravings for ice-cream, chocolates, fruits, french fries... and then feeling like a stuffed turkey after woofing down a few servings.
And the Singapore weather! Goodness! Humid, humid, humid! I'm not one to perspire but these days you can literally count the drops of sweat/puddles on me... Yikes! Where's the breeze, I ask?
Well, enuff of griping, things have actually been good. Just restlessness speaking now as I type, so everything sounds a little... whiney.
Gonna head to Dempsey tomorrow for lunch with an editor, then to Great World City to get some yummy goodies from Da Paolo Gastronomia. Can't wait! Been craving for lasagne, pizza, cupcakes... Geez, I sound like my life revolves around food.
On a separate note, it came to my realization last week that this year has got to be the year where I've read the most number of books. So, gimme a pat on the back, won't ya? If time permits, I'll list down some of my favorite books in another blog session. Mainly spiritual and business books, (not counting fashion/beauty/entertainment magazines that I lap up on a weekly basis).
Well, my mom's going over to Perth to visit my sis this Thursday and it makes me miss travelling all the more! I want to do South Africa, Prague, Italy, Vegas, Seattle, Melbourne in the next 3 years. Reckon that's possible? Hmm... no harm dreaming.
Anyways, I gotta squeeze this in before I log off... I bought a router to activate wireless access about a mth and a half ago and it still DOESN'T WORK! Really annoying me cos' I'm stuck in this one position whenever I need to use the net!
Arghhhh. I cannot even start to describe how this is &*@#$@&$# me! ha! There I got it off my chest!
Think I can have a good night's sleep now... ciao-ey!

My twenties...

Just about 2 days to my 30th birthday and what better time to reflect on my twenties and to 'visionise' about my coming 30s.
I've always thought I'll have a big birthday bash to herald in my big 3-0 bday- a loud one with drinks, friends in a club, but instead I'm keeping it simple yet meaningful this time- spending a day out with Vincent, myself and Kayla. :)
We're doing dinner at Da Paolo the night before, visiting my gynae on my bday for my regular check to see my little princess, followed by lunch at Au Petit Salut, then pre-natal massage at Spa Esprit in Paragon before cell group in the evening. Will probably also do some shopping- get a baby cot, milk bottle steam steriliser and Vincent said he'll get me my desired Miu Miu bag! My little pleasures in life! :)
I'm definitely going to spend better time planning out my 30s as I'm believing it is going to be a very rewarding time- with Motherhood and hopefully, a thriving business; surrounded with family and friends I love and walking closely with God. It's definitely going to be another new chapter and adventure.
I must thank God too for seeing me through the 20s. I've definitely 'morphed' into a different person if you compare me in my early 20s with my late 20s. It has really been a time of experimentation and I must say I've learnt so much through painful lessons but have received breakthroughs spiritually, emotionally and financially. God is good.
What can I say, I feel blessed!
Jeremiah 29:11- "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."
