Bus ride

During the week, G's papa car battery went flat! Ohh ohhh!!! Hence, G has to take a bus to babysitter's place instead of her usual leisure ride in papa's car.

G seems to be quite facinated by the bus. Everytime when we are on the road, I will point out to her and say:" bus, car, truck, etc." Now and then, everytime she sees a bus, she will go, bus bus bus... When I told her, we are going to take a bus, she actually mimic after me, and said take bus. She seems very enthusiastic about a bus ride (as always); this is not the first time she is taking a bus.

Here's a picture of G enjoying her bus ride...

I apologise for the negative demonstration where she was holding a bread in hand and wanted to eat on the bus :(  Thankfully, the bus journey was only 4 stops away and I managed to refrain her from eating.

Gracelle is going to be the elder sister!

Hmm.. I have not been sharing for more than a month! The subject says it all.

Even though I have passed the first trimester, but the yucky pregnancy symptoms still stick around :(  This is my second pregnancy and it is so different from my first. When I was pregnant with Gracelle, there is NO pregnancy symptoms at all! But, with this little one, headache and nausea happen in the morning, almost without fail. Lack of appetite is the second common problem. Half way through our dinner, I will stop eating simply because I could not swallow anymore food. I felt terrible! and was counting down to the first trimester and praying the symptoms will go away...

I am now in my 18+ weeks (almost half way there!) and glad to say that most of the pregnancy symptoms are gone, except some minor nausea in the morning which makes me throw out after the 30 minutes mrt ride.

So, here comes the next most frequently asked question: Is it a boy or a girl? Is a BOY! That completes the chinese word 女 (girl) + 子 (son) = 好 (girl + son = good/complete)  Annnyyyywayyyy.. the most important thing is a healthy baby, be it girl or boy, there are equally precious to us :)

Thank God for the gift of life!

Passion fruit

You may have heard of passion fruit, but have not seen one yet? Or may have smell the fragrance of the fruit, but have not tried one yet? No worries, you can easily get hold of it from the local supermarket.

The Wikipedia stated that passion fruit is native to Paraguay, Brazil, and northen Argentina. My passion fruit is from Malaysia. I have not tasted passion fruit from other countries. Little did I know that I have to wait for it to be really ripe, as in slightly wrinkle, then it will taste sweeter, otherwise, is SOUR! I am not kidding! As mentioned, this is grown in Malaysia, maybe is because of the climate and soil, is that why it is slightly sour? I don't know... Well, till next time when I had a chance to try passion fruit from other countries.

One thing I like about passion fruit is the frangrance ... sweet smelling ~ Most importantly, passion fruit is an excellent source of vitamin A and C. My little girl loves it! She can finish one fruit by herself, scooping it with her small little spoon, and she refuses my help [maybe she is afraid I will steal her fruit?]

This is how my girl consume one of her favorite fruit - passion fruit :)  Yummy!
