HaPpY

At my parents' home now cos Terence is at the Alan Tam concert.
Eewww...i know, Alan tam???!!!
He's 56 and still jiggling with it apparently!
Anyway.

I spoke to Jackie Chan today!
Yea, it was a nice media event by California Fitness, celebrating their new branch at Velocity.
Video-ed the interview and caught a few shots for my personal collection.
He's very very likeable.
Candid, smiley, chatty, spirited, super-energetic, mega-super fit.
Can speak equally well in English, Mandarin + Cantonese.
Much much taller and bigger than he looks on screen. Good-looking + glowy skin.
And surprise surprise, he himself panned the Rush Hour trilogy.

Anyway, it was a nice event to mention.
Not often we get a megawatt star like Jackie Chan!
I do like kung fu flicks quite a lot.
So excuse my gushing about, well, just the best kung fu star out there.

Went for a bit of grooming these few days.
With the pregnancy and all, its so important not to let myself go.
It's only now, with all chemical processes prohibited, that I realise just how much grooming we depend to look like the us we know.

• Hair colour touch ups.
• Hair conditioning treatments.
• Eyebrow shaping + tinting.
• Manicures + Pedicures.
• Waxing.
• Facials.
• Endless shopping to 'keep up'.

Gosh. Womanhood sure is troublesome.
Lucky mine is a lil boy!
Yea, the detailed scan done last wk confirmed its a boy.
I'm happy!
I've always wanted a lil boy to fuss with.
He'll be as cute, fun, sporty, kind, smart, righteous and irresistible as my brothers & Terence.
Terence wants to name him 'Marco', after that Dutch footballer Marco van Basten.
????????!!!!!!!


Today, after a long-deserved and luxurious mani/pedi session at Lush,
I decide to make the most of my pregnancy and quit moaning abt it.
I mean, besides my body, life hasn't really changed that much.
I can still do most of the things I did, now that my morning sickness has gone.
At salons, malls, cafes, bookshops, movie theatres or with Terence.
It really is predominantly how I spent my time, except i can't run like before.

It really is not that bad once you come to terms with it.
Of course, i can't help feeling fat and ugly etc etc.
But its really all in the mind.
Terence says he finds my changing body shape "special and beautiful", and he feels very much like a family man and excited about our baby.
I should be more like him, positive and excited.
Not always thinking about myself and how i look.

Besides, motherhood is about the greatest experience coming my way all my life.
I'm more than halfway into the pregnancy now - just 3 months plus to go.
I'm happy me and Terence can have a family this early in life.
When we are both very young, healthy and energetic.
And there will be 3 of us in our cosy home, which is a beautiful precious thing.
Life is great. Praise the Lord.
