Woke up and heard the news that Spain wins the Euro Cup. 'x'!
Was waking up earlier than any other working days as I forgot that I had set my hp alarm to 7:00am instead of 7:30am.
So, I decided to help ccw to make the breakfast. We made pepperoni + cheese toast. Tasted good.
Reached office, listen to the CD - "Lovely Baby Magic" given by my bro last night.
I still remember it was 2 years ago when we kept listening to this CD and how Bulat moving his eyes around to search for the source of the musics.
Stocked up nescafe and biscuits in my cubicle. The stock should be enough to last for 3-4 weeks. :)
The week has started!
Wishing you all have a good start of the week.

Dungeon Runners

In brief, to begin with the game, a player can choose a class (fighter, mage and ranger) to play which will determines the package of beginning skills, weapon, and armor for the character. After the first dungeon, the character can learn any skills desired from the 3 different trainers of each class.

Now, in the online video game Dungeon Runners, players can obtain magical Bling Gnome that eat their unwanted items and turn them into gold by taking a golden squat. This is cute, bling gnome just help you to carry whatever unwated items and when you want them, he will give you gold. You do not have to carry the unwanted item to the shop and trade in anymore!

16th July 2007, Zhuhai - Macau
Stone Garden (石博园) has a collection of stones that look odd or resemble animals or something else.
This stone resembles the map of China.
If you have good imagination, you would find a lot of stones that looks like animals. I lazy to post up stone by stone here but just show you the scenery.
It is a pretty garden indeed.
We managed to find our way out from the stone puzzle. I love this, it is very fun.
The woods they use to build the path is smelly. But they are actually from the old railway station. I mean, stone garden reuse the woods that are taken out from the old railway station, very environmental friendly move.
Now, let me show you the most precious stone found in there:
It is said that this piece of stone worth RMB 10 millions. Keng not? Why is it valueable? If you can see la, it shows the word "寿", got ah? When the stone is turned the other round, you will read the word "龙". It is not man-made, and that is why it is so valuable.
The border at Gongbei, it connected Macau at the other side.
We just walked and dragged the luggage pass through the custom. It is very convenient.
Yeah, back to Macau again!
There are a lot of casinos around, you do not have to worry where to go. We decided to go back to New Lisboa to take back what we had lost there.
But, we must feed ourselves first. CCW's suggested to go to Rua do Cunha (官也街) and try out the famous crab porridge. So, we 2 headed to the nearby bus stand. We looked through the routes for each bus, seemed like no bus is going to that way from that bus stand. We asked the 2 schoolgirls where is the street and they pointed us to walk straight down the road and we will reach the destination. According to them, it is not too far away. Since we were not carrying any bag, we decided to take a stroll. To our surprise, the so-called short distance turn out to be more than 20mins walk! Too bad, I left the camera in hotel, as it is not allowed inside a casino. Otherwise, I can show you the scenery along the way.
Anyway, the crab porridge tasted good but it was the most expensive porridge that I had ever eaten in my life. If not mistaken, it is about MOP90 (RM40-45) for 2 persons. Please refer to this blog if you take a look at the porridge.
Like I mentioned earlier, we spent the evening at New Lisboa. The only thing is, we lost more! 十赌九输！
End of Day 13.

History's Mysteries
Do you love to watch magic show? I do.
I remembered that I used to watch David Copperfield's shows on TV together with my brothers. My brothers would always try to figure out how David Copperfield do the tricks. Well, even though they were spoiling the fun, but I learn that what I watched were just illusions. The only live magic show I have watched before was the show called "Magic On Ice" at Genting. It is a fascinating show, as it is combining the beauty of skating and the mystifying world of illusions.
If compare the modern magical masters, such as Criss Angel to other illusionist like Harry Houdini, I would say Criss Angel puts more effort in adding the art of other beauty elements into the magic show and brings up the best of the illusions to present to the audiences.
If you are a fan of Criss Angel Mindfreak, you might not want to miss this new Cirque Du Soleil performance featuring CRISS ANGEL called "CRISS ANGEL Believe", which begins September 1 and runs through September 11 at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas. Join the Text Message contest, just text 'Believe' to 22122 and you might win 2 tickets to 'CRISS ANGEL Believe'.

Coconut Juice
Neighbour gave us coconuts from her backyard.
She told my mama that I should drink coconut juice during the last trimester which might help to reduce the chance of the baby getting jaudice.
I am not sure how true it is but I love the fresh coconut juice as it is refreshing!
Fresh coconut juice, anyone?!

Avent newborn starter set
Finally, I got my Avent newborn starter set!
Thanks again to my dearest SIL and bro who helped me to brought it back from Singapore and gave it to me as a gift in the end. Some of you must be wondering why don't I get it in Kuching by myself, well, it is cheaper in Singapore, cheaper by RM45.
The feeding set including:
2 x 4Oz bottles
2 x 9Oz bottles
2 x newborn teats
1 x pacifier
1 x brush
Sil also helps me to get everything that I need as I have no idea what size of teats to buy! Now, after lecturing by her for a few times, let me try to give you some information regarding the size of the teats.
She bought me the teat for newborn flow, slow flow, medium flow and thicker liquid (from left to right in the photo).
Newborn flow is used for the first month for both the milk and water. For the following next 3 months, you can still feed the baby water using the newborn flow teat.
Slow flow is used in the second month for feeding milk to your baby. If you found that your baby easily get choked on the milk using this teat, your baby might have not ready and you may switch back to use the newborn teat.
That's how you determine when to change the teat to medium flow for your baby too.
You need the teat for thicker liquid once you start giving your baby milk mixing with cereal.
I found this interesting, as I have never care about this when feeding my nephew last time.

Bird's nest soup
Bird's nest is one of the famous souvenir to bring home from Sarawak. Shame to say that I hardly got chance to taste the bird's nest soup even though I grow up on this piece of land. Hahaha...The reason is simple, it is an expensive supplement to consume!
But then, I just bought a tael after listening to people about how good it is for both the mother and baby. It costed me RM280.
*gulp*
It has gelatinous texture, just like the jelly.
I think shark's fin soup is tastier. But, well, at least consuming the bird's nest soup would not be accused being cruel. Er, am I right?
Anyway, from the research I gathered through the internet, consumption of bird's nest soup during pregnancy can improve the immune functions of the feotus and help the mother to recover easily after giving birth. But I do hope that it will help in improving my skin too! ;p

15th July 2007, Guangzhou - Zhuhai
Busy packing in the morning as we were leaving to Zhuhai that afternoon by bus. After packing, we just walked around nearby the hotel to search for food. We settled down at this restaurant called Ren Xin. 
Out of curiosity, we ordered this dessert in the menu: 姜撞奶 (ginger milk). It sounds funny in mandarin. Well, I do not like the taste even though it is a famous hot dessert.
Back to the hotel and waited for the bus at the bus station outside the hotel.
It took 2 hours for the journey from Guangzhou to Zhuhai.
We visited the New Yuanming Park (圆明新园 Yuan Ming Xin Yuan), an imitation of the Yuanming Park in Beijing. It covers an area of 1.39 square KM and inside the park there is also 80,000 square metres of lake.
The throne.
Dragon found above the throne.
Beautiful garden.
The views from the lake.
Reaching the opposite side of the lake.
Performers on the boat. 
Grand building.
At night, we went to the huge underground shopping complex (拱北地下广场) at the border in Gongbei. There are hundreds of shops and you can find anything there including: clothing, shoes, handbags, jade, watches and etc. I am sure you will found yourself rubbing your eyes seeing so many imitation goodies especially watches (Rolex, Omega) and hangbags (LV, GUCCI, CHANNEL, PRADA) there. There are even grades to determine the price and the quality of the fake items.
I almost bought a fake MiuMiu handbag. I found the bag quite pretty and of good quality, so I decided to ask about the price. To be frank, I do not know what is a MiuMiu handbag during that time and who cares what it is since they are all fake. The conversation between the salesgirl and myself:
Salesgirl: Hi, liang moi, come in and take a look!
Me: *smile* How much is the handbag?
Salesgirl: It is RMB280.
Me: Any discount?
Salesgirl: Got! After discount it is RMB250.
Me: Still very expensive. Nevermind.
Salesgirl: Oh, how much you want? You give a price.
Me: How can?
Salesgirl: Why not? If the price you say is too low, then I will not sell to you also. You just let
me know how much then you want to buy.
Me: er AR er AR...
Salesgirl: You just say a price.
The quality is not bad, the most I am willing to pay for that is RM50 which is around RMB100. But I was so shy to tell her. I mean RMB100 is about 40% of the price she told me. So, I rather leave the shop instead of telling a price that she will not consider. I put the handbag back onto the shelf and ready to leave.
Salesgirl: What happen?
Me: No, I do not want to buy anymore. I do not think you can offer the price I want.
Salesgirl: You just tell me. Let me consider.
Me: Nevermind, I do not want it anymore.
Salesgirl: No, no, no, since we have fate to meet each other, we are at least friend now. You just tell me the price.
She was just like an octapus, grabbing and forcing me to give her a price.
CCW: RMB100.
Salesgirl: OH!!! That's too low! Look at the quality of the leather, it worth more.
Me: Ya, I know the quality is good.
Salesgirl: Come on, give a higher price and I will sell it to you.
I kept silence as I really do not wish to pay more than RMB100 for that handbag. However, CCW was impatient. He just wanted to leave the shop, so he offered her a higher price.
CCW: RMB150. If you were not willing to sell then fine.
I was like @@!! I do not want to buy a fake handbag with that price!
Salesgirl: It is still too low. I cannot make it. Can you give a higher price?
CCW then led me out the shop and left. The salesgirl was shouting from behind and telling us that her boss got something to tell us. CCW told me to ignore her since I am not willing to pay RMB150. However, I feel bad to her as she kept calling us to go back but we just ignored her. CCW told me that he had already told her nicely at the first place that we will take the bag if she can accept RMB150. It is her problem. But when I turned and looked at her, she was like very pity and wanted to sell the handbag to me badly. I told ccw that I worried that the girl might follow us back to the hotel just to get the handbag sell to me. CCW just asked me no need to care about her.
We continued window shopping as I learnt that it is not easy to get out from the shop once you stepped into it.
Then all of a sudden, a pat on my shoulder, I looked back and saw the salesgirl!
Salesgirl: Miss, you follow me back to my shop, my boss said he can sell the handbag to you at the price RMB100.
Me: *jaw dropped open*
CCW: No, no, we do not want it anymore.
Me: ...
I was too shocked to say a word. She should just sell it off when CCW offer her RMB150, why on earth she wanted to chase after us all the way and selling it even cheaper? And that's the way they bargain? The price can drop from RMB280 to RMB100?!
That's how I learnt to bargain in China!
We left the shopping complex and went over to another supermarket nearby. We bought this:
Go to China and drink the beer make in China! A good way to lose the heat in body!

Requirements for Vacuum Cleaner
How many vacuum cleaner did you ever buy in the past? For me, I have not purchase any yet, I am just using what my brother bought. But my brother has bought three so far. The first one was a big and heavy vacuum cleaner with cord and high watt. We seldom use it as we found that it takes time for us to take it out from its box and then keep it back again. My brother then bought the small handhold cordless vacuum cleaner. However, it is not that powerful as to compare with the old one. Recently, he bought another one from Singapore, it seems to be powerful but smaller in size if compare to the first one that we have. From there, I have summarized that there are 2 requirements in choosing a vacuum cleaner for myself. It must be low in energy consumption and with stylish design. I want a vacuum cleaner with low energy consumption so that I can pay off the electricity bill like usual. I prefer to have a stylish looking vacuum cleaner so that if there is any visitor coming when I am busy vacuuming the house, at least I still look good holding a stylish vacuum cleaner in hand instead of a clumsy and noisy vacuum cleaner.
I think Dirt Devil has the right products for me to choose from. The new AccuCharge Stick Vac and Hand Vac both look great and they use 70% less energy. AccuCharge is also the first cordless cleaning technology approved by Energy Star . With the approval, I think you should consider for these vacuums too.
Attention: It is week 30!
Hehehehe...Anticipation or fear?!
3 weeks passed by, it is time to report the visit to doctor.
I am now 64.6kg, slightly drop 0.01kg since the last visit. Upon hearing that, doctor responsed by nodding his head and saying "Good" for a few times. Anyway, I do not know how I maintain the weight.
Time to see baby Cola!
The doctor showed us baby Cola's face. ^_^ The eyes, the nose, the mouth, the chin...It has been a long time since we last seen Cola so clearly through the ultrasound scan.
Doctor even paused there and talked to baby Cola.
Doctor:"Baby, open your mouth! Com'on, open your mouth..."
Baby Cola: "..."
Doctor: "Com'on, show us your mouth..."
Baby Cola: *Ignore*
I was quite surprised that the doctor was actually trying to communicate with my baby. I thought only parents will do that. Hehe...it is cute.
Ccw talked to the doctor. I interrupted their conversation when I heard the doctor said I can deliver the baby at the 37th week. The doctor's wife laughed at me when I told them that it is scary!
*Pacing to and fro, counting the weeks*
Baby Cola is 1.46kg now, doctor commented that he is growing at the normal growth rate.
Let me show you what the doctor drew on the report card
I only noticed the symbol of the gender the next day.
Stay tuned, as the due date is looming closer, I need to visit the doctor 2 weeks later.
p/s: Baby Cola is getting stronger, I can see the surface of my belly moving. What is he doing inside there? Punching me with his fists or kicking me with his legs? Luckily he did not learn to tickle yet, else...;p

NEW! Dirt Devil® AccuCharge™
Do you have a sensitive nose that makes you sneeze when cleaning the dusty room? If the answer is "Yes", I am sure you need to rely on a vacuum cleaner when doing the cleaning job.
Talking about vacuum cleaner, some people might claim that it is troublesome as it cannot go into every corner or the length of the cord attached limits one to clean a certain area of the house only. Personally, I feel the pain the most when I have to pull and drag the vacuum cleaner outside the house in order to clean the interior of my car. Besides, the high energy consumption of vacuum cleaner always makes people take a step backward when considering to get one.
You have no worries of the problems mentioned above with the new products from Dirt Devil . The new AccuCharge Stick Vac and Hand Vac are not only cordless but also use 70% less energy. AccuCharge is the first cordless cleaning technology to earnEnergy Star approval. The charging time for the AccuCharge Stick Vac and Hand Vac is 2x faster than other products available in the market.
So, let's be smart! Invest in the right product and enjoy ourselves doing the daily cleaning task. We can then live in the clean environment healthily and happily.

I am a happy mother!
The expecting due date is getting nearer and I am on the way preparing baby Cola with his tiny little stuff.
Last weekend, I bought some baby stuff from Anakku, a local brand that provides baby-care products. The boutique is located at Green Height, on the way to Kuching International Airport.
My purchase:
1 x 12 pieces of baby reusable napkins.
2 x 8 pieces of Disney baby reusable napkins.
1 x 30 pieces of one-way nappy liners.
6 x 2 pieces of towels.
I were told that I can collect points if I sign up as Anakku Member. The membership fee is RM10 for 2 years. Minimum points required to redeem rewards is 200 points and RM1 = 1 point. When I was filling up the membership form, the counter staff told me that I entitled for 2 chances (1 chance per RM50 in a single receipt) in the lucky draw competition. She took out a box and asked me to draw 2 tickets. Yes, I got 2 RM10 vouchers. You can imagine I was giving out a big smile, I am such a lucky mother. :)
She also told me that the Disney baby reusable napkins is on offering now, where the normal price is RM24.90 but it is now RM15 and the promotion is lasted while stocks available. So without much hestitation, I got another packet of it with one of the voucher. I spent the other voucher on another packet of the towels.
If you were a new mother, like me, not sure what to buy, I am here sharing with you what my mother and mil told me. For baby napkins, we need to have enough for baby to use for 2-3 days. So, it is roughly about 4-6 dozens. You will not have to worry on the rainy days when your baby napkins wont dry up. But of course, you can always use the disposable napkin when you are running out of the reusable one. The drawback of the disposable napkin would be the higher cost and causing skin irritation to baby. Both my mother and mil also suggested to get the bigger piece of reusable napkin as it will be more absorbing. I heard from a lot of experienced mothers recommend napkins from Anakku.
You can also put a nappy liner on top of the reusable napkin so that the WHITE napkin wont get stained.
Baby towel is useful. You can use it as blanket, wrapper, pillow and also towel to the baby. The towel does not need to be thick, as long as it is soft, then it is good for the baby soft skin.
That's some little tips from me, hope it helps.
Last weekend, I bought some baby stuff from Anakku, a local brand that provides baby-care products. The boutique is located at Green Height, on the way to Kuching International Airport.
My purchase:
1 x 12 pieces of baby reusable napkins.
2 x 8 pieces of Disney baby reusable napkins.
1 x 30 pieces of one-way nappy liners.
6 x 2 pieces of towels.

What I ever wonder why a pregnant lady...
You ever wonder why pregnant lady likes to put her hand(s) on her belly?
After 7 months carrying my little feotus, I get to know more. We, pregnant ladies, always can feel the feotus moving inside but the feelings is "weird" and we are wordless to describe it. I usually put my hand on my tummy and see whether I can feel the movement from the outside not so that can share with other ppl.
~~~~~~~~~
You ever wonder why pregnant lady likes to take photo of the naked belly?
Personally, I just thought of the reason recently. When the belly is stretched, the surface looks smooth and well, pretty. But, when you think of the day after giving birth to the baby and the belly skin starts to lose its elasticity and firmness, how sad that would be?! Once, I cannot understand why the pregnant ladies love to take studio photo-shooting so much when their belly is big like a balloon and now I learn.

Pink Ribbon Tag: 8 million click needed
Tagged by Zooropa.
Do you still remember Pink Ribbon? It is the international symbol of breast cancer awareness. This tag just remind me of my friend who died of breast cancer in October last year.
Let's do not get drifted too far away from the title,
"You can help the lives of many women by spreading the word about The Breast Cancer Site and by clicking the pink button as many times as you can. If The Breast Cancer Site receives 8 million clicks on the pink button in June, their premier sponsor -Bare Necessities- will donate $10,000 for more free mammograms.You'll be helping to save someone's mother, daughter, sister and friend. So please join me in the spreading the word about this cause in the blogging community."
Would like to pass this tag on, hope the 2 pink bloggers: Pink Cotton and Pink Winnie would make this even more pinkish.

Aunties' loves for baby Cola (I)
I have received a few gifts for baby Cola from my dear friends whom are also going to be baby Cola's lovely aunties. I am not trying to show off the presents baby Cola gets but to thank my dear friends for giving both baby Cola and myself so much love and encouragement.
I received the first baby gift from Joyce during Chinese New Year this year.
The writings on the bodysuits are: "Daddy's little monster" and "Mummy's cheeky monkey". They are cute, aren't they?
Auntie Amy gave baby Cola a blanket and a Disney baby gift set when she first brought her baby Reuel out with us.
I have eyed on this froggie blanket earlier on. I think baby Cola will sure like it. ;p
Amy has been asking me about baby Cola's gender and I think it is for her to choose whether to buy a Mickey or Minnie for him.
On my birthday, I got this Avent bottle as birthday gift from Pink ee ee. I know, she is finding an excuse to buy baby Cola a gift. ;p
Baby Cola: "Pink ee ee, you not buying Cola something cute?"
Recently, wen went to KL. Before she left, I reminded her on my souvenir and ended up she gave me this, pyjamas for baby Cola with froggy and other cute animals.
Auntie Wen just could not resist to buy it for baby Cola even though it is far to big for him. ;p
Dear Cola, mummy wants to tell you that YOU ARE VERY LUCKY to have these aunties who love you so much. Of course, mummy is even luckier to have these friends who care and love mummy. Well, mummy admits that I am a bit jealous because mummy does not get any gift for herself anymore. *BLEKS*
