What a beautiful day (hot)

After a much needed sleep last night (at 12am) I didn't want to get up this morning after babyplus' finished. However today is the day my office in the new staff room finished decorating and my stuff will be moved there for me, so I want to make sure I come back here and unpack. I wouldn't have any idea how busy it'll become after this week, so best get it out of the way :)

Yesterday was fruitful I'd say in Whampoa, we got the bed we want! :) Before heading out to Hung Hom to meet up with Nick for lunch, I was already feeling peckish, then hungry, then peckish for 2 hours :P thank god I still have one small french bread, a pack of soda biscuits and one coconut candy in my bag. Looking at the watch I have 2 hours to wait, I best not eat all of them in one go (lol). First I started attacking the bun, munch 10 times slower than I use to eat, drink a glass of water. OK that last me for about 15 minutes, then tummy decided to make noise yet again. I went to the toilet for a little break and walked around the campus (went up to the rooftop garden) for walkies. I had my coconut candy in my pocket and started sucking on it whist walking on the grass. Yesterday wasn't too hot outside, so that's OK. I gave a quick call to mom who's on her way to Auchan (remember the Tesco-like supermarket in HangZhou?:) to do some shopping. Though we have to finish cos mom's phone battery was rather low....

After that I went back down to the staff room, instead of taking the lift, I took the stairs. I need to as much exercise as I can think of. In HangZhou I get to walk up to mountain everyday, now that I am back in Hong Kong, I have significantly lot less exercise than I'd hope for. And Hubby is not always available to go out walkies like mom because he has way too many things need doing. So I best not disturb him (which will only prolong his working hour late at night) when I can do simple exercise myself.

Back in the staff room, hungry again lol. And that was 12pm, one more hour to go!!! I thought I *have to* start on my biscuits now. Again I made sure I munch each of them really slow. Tasting every single bits of it (even though it's not much, it's soda biscuits for god sake lol) but it's food nonetheless and I needed that then :) down with yet another mug of water (my big tigger mug). Shortly after I finished the biscuit, the clock on my computer said '1pm' yay time to head out! Hopefully I'll get to Whampoa, Hung Hom and have food in front of me before this hunger feeling decided to come back again!

As mentioned in hubby's writing, we've told Nick that I wanna have lunch first before looking for beds, we were still distracted as we walked into Jusco. In the end after spending about 30 minutes in the bed section, finally we managed to head out and find food place! (that was 2:15)We ended up eating in Xihu Supreme. A restaurant that does 4 different cuisines: Shanghai, Sichuan, Hangzhou and Beijing. Of course nothing exactly like our Hangzhou cuisines when it's made locally in HK, but it'll do plus I was hungry! :) We had to wait for our table but thank god we didn't have to wait too long. We were seated at 2:44 and quickly ordered which was my job since it's all Chinese :) waiting at the table for food to arrive as 'painful' especially when everybody else around us were eating (lol). I decided to hit the loo for a break.

As I went out, my hope's come true, food's on the table! EAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Xiaobao was definitely very happy and kicking around when I smelled food and started eating hehehe :) I think even he thought 'finally woman!' (lol)

Again I shouldn't be eating very fast no matter how hungry I am, since I won't know how full I am if I eat too quickly and I don't wanna know after I finished eating and found that I'd eaten too much. The feeling of full and bloatedness and xiaobao moving in a full stomach will literally makes me sick amongst other things (like holding a 'heavy tummy'). So I took my time, chew very thoroughly every food I have. Still I think I ate too much because I wasn't hungry when we were in Shengwan in that Indian restaurant - Masala Modern Indian Cuisine. Took me awhile to find this pic on google. So make sure you click into it and have a look!

I only managed to eat two vegetable samosas and a glass of mango lassi. It's a very common and popular drink in India. It's mango blended with yogurt. Very nice especially when you are feeling hot :) I even ate some of the ice cubes in my glass afterwards.

*updates* Xiaobao's reading program have just been delivered! Yay!!!! The English version story books will be among them and daddy can start reading it to xiaobao and see how he likes it. Though building bond with xiaobao takes time. Right now he responds to me better than to daddy simply because he's with me all the time :P but I remain hopeful that we still have 2 more months to go for xiaobao to get familiarize with daddy's voice :) when xiaobao gets to 30 weeks old, we can even hear his heartbeat right from my tummy - how cool is that! :) Indeed xiaobao just moved as I typed here in agreement ;)
