The spring before blossoming~
Went for a date to Mitsuike Park (三ツ池公園) in Kanagawa, a very nice big park nearby, erm..around 15~20 minutes from home 
Can see pinkish blossom buds on the trees~
which means sakura is on it's way 
Great weather on that day 
temperature getting warmer, not so colorful yet with flowers but everything seems to get lively 
though still a lil' bit cold when the wind blows..
Lots of black? ducks on the lake 
And they're actually looking quite handsome on a closer look 
Planned to bring some bento lunch for a picnic at the park..
But didn't bother at last which we ended up eating yakisoba (instant noodles) from a shop there
Whenever we went for a date, we usually snap lots of two-shot photos on our own
making funny faces and so.. we call this "Siu-Siu" (笑笑) which means, smile-smile in Cantonese 
At first, "Siu-Siu" was just a phrase like saying "Say Cheese" just for us to get ready before the click. From then on, we started referring "Siu-Siu" as our two-shot where ever we go
Tee hee 
I was trying to get a lovely kiss shot, and he kept making faces..
again 
at last 
kinda..
Love this

Convenient baby apps on my iPhone :)
The Smart Phone generation now helps a lot with great apps
Been searching for a good and convenient baby/pregnancy apps, tried out a few and finally decided on using "Ninpu memo" (妊婦メモ). Though this is only available in Japanese, this app is cute and easy. (scroll down to see another app that I'm using - that's in English )
妊娠中に使える便利なアプリかなって調べてみたら、「妊婦メモ」を発見
このアプリちょっとよかった
The calendar with icons.
アイコンを自由に付けられるカレンダー
アイコンの数はそこまでないけど。。
Fun to note down everything that never happened before 
Some wonderful feeling The movement The rapid growth
毎日の変化とか今まで感じたことなかった胎動の感動の気持ちとかを日記にするのだ
Weight graph. Diet controlling
Standard people ( BMI 18.5 ~ 25.0) has to gain approximately 7~12kgs throughout the whole pregnancy..
Slim people ( < BMI 18.5) should gain around 9~12kgs,
fatter people ( > BMI 25.0) should gain around 5kgs or less accordingly..
(
according to a book I was reading - *anyhow, in every condition you have to check with your doc!)
My case, I think I'll have to gain around 8kgs..
体重を管理できるグラフもついてる～
普段よりももっと食事のバランスを管理すべきの時期
ヤセの人（BMI 18.5 未満）は、9～12kg 増やす
フツーの人（BMI 18.5 以上 25.0未満）は、7～12kg 増やす
ヒマンの人（BMI 25.0 以上）は、5kg くらい
読んでる本による情報だけで、なんでも自分のドクターに確認してね
私は、だいたい8kg の増加を目指そうかな～
Weight (kg) 体重 ÷ Height (m) 身長 ÷ Height (m) 身長 = Your BMI
Details and information on changes to the mother, to the baby, and advices according to different levels of pregnancy

このアプリちょっとよかった Main Menu
メインメニューはこんな感じ
Before the main menu, this will showed up everyday to tell you the days of your pregnancy.
Love the special messages on some occasion like when you're entering a new week or when there's only 150 days left to meet your baby
アプリを最初に立ち上げると、毎日、今日からあと何日間で赤ちゃんに会えるかを教えてくれる～
新しい月に入った時とか、あと150日だよ～とかの時に、メッセージ付きで表示してくれるから、わくわくするよね～

This is great too but since I was using the Japanese one to note down everything, I pass this out. And this app uses inches / pounds for measurement,..
I am more familiar to centimeters / kilograms..

Morning sickness craving for food back home!
My morning sickness last for 2 or 3 weeks 
.
Severe hunger before sleep and waking up in the morning.
It was bad feeling hungry with no appetite
.
Dizziness No way staying in front of the computer even for only 5 minutes..
Books were my best remedies during this period
In short, I spent the whole day lying down on my comfort rug with a fluffy beans bag - read, sleep, eat, read, sleep..
Not at all in the mood to do anything..
Nevertheless, I think I am considered not the serious case.
No big deal with smell.
But just NO radish NO yogurt NO grapefruit juice which I usually consume before I got hired by my-lil'-big-boss.. and not much rice..
At this period, I was thinking so much of chu cheong fun, wantan mee, laksa, char siu pau, all the food back in Malaysia so much and LYCHEE
In Japan, what I could get and craved for was,
GYOZA
Vietnam PHO
My homemade DIMSUM first time making this on my microwave with steaming
All I was craving for were Asian food South east Asian or Chinese
Though I ate very little and very slow.. 1kg~2kg weight loss
It's okay for a little weight loss during this period though
no worries 
And so, meet my-lil'-big-boss again - growing so much in 4 weeks
