Lay Peng and Stella, ladies in black

Finally, our company dinner affair ended wonderfully on 13 November 2009 night, the rain did not dampen the mood at all. Hwee Lee, Lay Peng, Stella and myself reached Royal Plaza on Scotts early to start decorating the place. Our reception area was wonderfully decorated with ribbons, our Metso signboard, lucky draw box, company color theme green / orange balloons, etc. The 3 ladies had "fun" blowing up the balloons while I was excused due to my pregnancy.

Next, we went to Balmoral Room, our very night's ballroom. The hotel staff were hard at work getting the turnover of the room done as there was an event earlier before our night's event. The earlier event's attendees were really kind of a mess, considering the litters on the floor...

The work starts as we busied ourselves around the room trying to ensure everything was in place, the setting up of the stage, the music CDs for the night, the tables for the games, etc. By 6:45pm, the guests were starting to turn up for the pre-cocktail affair by the poolside (*pity it's still raining). Luckily there's a lovely sheltered bar side by the pool for all to linger around on the chairs and tables.

All the staff started filling in for the night, atmosphere was great as everyone started mingling around. By 7:15pm, we proceeded to the ballroom, everyone in anticipation of the night's event to start. I was famished by then, guess baby must be feeling really hungry too...

Everyone started going round the buffet spreads with the accompanying music in the background. A lovely prelude to the games ahead as everyone started building up their energy. the night was successful, people was taking part in the games, mingling around with a glass of wine in one hand. Guys were getting rowdy, but overall everyone was enjoying themselves.

Finally, time for me to catch some breathe, seems like being heavily pregnant does hinder my actions in some way...

A short break to update my blog...

Busy...
Tired...
Lazy...

There's my very very heavy tummy, work, studies, and project to be done. Been making me really lazy to be doing anything to my blog page.

Baby's been very very active these few days, making me kind of "weighed" down already. Hopefully Baby will be good and stay in for a few more weeks. *crossing my fingers* Won movie tickets recently, and today, Giant Hypermart called to inform I have won a pair of Fei Yu Qing Concert Tickets! I love such stuff, the thrills of winning stuff, big or small.

Neighbour Katherine has given birth to her little princess just over Sunday, the message from her this morning made me feel her joy! Actually coincidentally, both of us are supposed to have the same delivery date in December. Wow! What great coincident, really made me felt so amazed when we realised while talking in the lift.

Rushing on a assignment for my studies, hopefully it will be done well. Kind of stress, being heavily pregnant has kind of made my brain juice dry up. Forgetfulness, the really serious kind! Goodness....

35 Weeks into pregnancy...

Baby's growing well, the moves, kicks and punches are increasing each day as my tummy gets heavier. Simply feeling easily tired out, very very heavy, and hard to move around.

Yes, it's 35 weeks into my pregnancy, the little bumps are noticingly obvious now as baby stretches inside my tummy. He's been especially active today, making me smile and getting the occassional "Opps" if the kicks / punches get serious. By 35 weeks pregnancy, it's recorded that uterus could expand up to 1,000 times its original volume, reaching just under the human ribs. That explains the breathlessness.
