Every Pregnancy is DEFINITELY Different

What glow? I have just experienced an acne outbreak on my face!!! It is very sad. I was glowing when I was pregnant with Eddie. Now, 2 weeks shy of my emcee debut role in Saujana I am nursing a face with a fresh batch of pinky pimples.

Why me? On top of that, both corners of my lips are cracked. Not dehydration for sure because the rest of my lips are fine. Googling the subject came up with very very different answers from iron deficiency to bacterial infection. I have slapped on a generous amount of vaseline. Lets see if it works. (Bloody hurts when I open my mouth, ouch!)

Appreciate tips and advices to get rid of the pimples!

Sick

The past 3 days have not been fun at all. Sickness came back in full force, and I am not able to keep ANYTHING down. I tried the anti nausea pills my doctor gave me and even that didn't help. We had no choice but to go in to see him so that he could check on the babies and I. (Hmmnn... I quite like saying that: babies)

My blood pressure is good, babies are growing well, in fact the gender of T1 was made known to us today. Well the other one is keeping us in suspense until the next visit. I shall announce both in 2 weeks' time, when the other one decides to shift position and flash us!

I have lost a bit of weight but I also found out that it is very difficult to starve the babies unless you are extremely malnourished to begin with. You guys probably know that I have enough reserves for my babies to go a long way! hahaha... Nevertheless it is important to keep myself healthy and hydrated.

The Sickness that is Not Going Away

I feel so bored of being sick. I am sick from the moment I wake up until I go to bed. To make things worse, I cannot spend as much time with Eddie as I used to because I feel sick.

The sight and smell of food make it worse, the only thing that I could slurp down is assam laksa which is a very very rare find in Singapore.

I went to a restaurant called Grandma's which hired an ex-chef of Madam Kwan's in KL. The food they served on menu are very similar with modification to the names. For example, the nasi bojari is called nasi bukhari. I ate assam laksa which was OKAY. Nothing beats the real penang laksa right?

Yesterday I went to Old Town to have their assam laksa. I just had to ignore the sardine slices they put as garnish on the bed of sliced timun. I mean come on, how stupid is that? Any assam laksa enthusiasts would know that using sardine is cheating, so why on earth would you highlight the fact by using sardine as garnish???

For now who cares? Beggars can't be choosers. Until I brave the kitchen again and cook it myself, I shall not complain.
