Pictures Galore!

Traffic jams can be good sometimes because my mind wanders off (while the car is stationary, of course!) and i think about stuff that i usually have no time to think about. Have quite a bit to write about 2007 (probably one of the best years of my life!) but that'll have to wait till the next post. I'll try to cut down on lengthy posts i promise, so here're some shots from x'mas!


The picturesque night view from our 18th-storey room at Marina Mandarin. I love! :)

The crazy balloon shower that was part of the hotel's countdown event! Dan and I rushed out of our room when we heard the folks downstairs counting down and in a moment of frenzied excitement, we forgot the room key!! It wasn't until the door slammed shut while we were squealing in delight (ok, I WAS squealing, not the husband) that it dawned upon us that we were stranded outside! We didn't have shoes on but at least i was still in a dress. The husband was dressed only in singlet and berms and was mortified at the idea of having to go down to the lobby, underdressed amongst all the other glam people, to retrieve the spare key!

In the end, we had to use the room phone of another hotel guest (Indonesian man i think) who had totally no clue what we're blabbering about but looked amused and allowed us to use his phone anyway. The duty manager that came to "rescue" us looked equally amused as he requested for our IDs as a routine security check.


The blue x'mas tree at the hotel lobby. I want a blue tree in our new home next year too!


The husband made me shoot this - below one of the chandeliers while waiting for the lift. Dan actually does have a great eye for details and photography and i really like the effect of this picture (all that spiraling and how the picture turned out without flash)! This picture did take abit of effort to shoot because i had to stand right under the chandelier and bend backwards just so the the picture turns out as symmetrical as possible. Had to execute a certain level of agility which was not exactly easy if your centre of gravity has been altered by a growing baby! Haha!

Have more pictures but that'll do for now! Btw, i'm into my 3rd trimester this week and the little one is weighing in at 1.2kg now! Counting down to my estimated due date and i must admit the labour process is sure scaweeee! Still, Dan has reassured me donkey times that he'll be there for me in person and in spirit to see me through the whole process. I can't imagine having to go through it without him and i'm very, very, very thankful that i don't have a squirmish husband who refuses to be the birthing partner for his wife!

Anyway, performing caesareans on dogs and helping to deliver puppies has always been one of the most satisfying aspect of my job but the tide has finally turned and i'll be the one under the knife soon enough!!! Good grief!
