Our hot plant

It's time to harvest our chillies! We collected a whole bag of chillies and have no idea what to do with most of them. Sue has kindly offered to make sambal for us but I guess we have to distribute the chillies to people who likes them.

By the way, did I ever mention that this is the hottest chilli we've ever tasted. Even my aunties who are chilli queens, agreed that this chili variant (bird's eye chili) planted in our landlord's garden is the BEST and the most FIERY!!!



Talking about an instant reply from God!

I try to pack food for lunch whenever possible. Especially days when hubby cooks, he will try to cook more (as I always tease him, as though he cooks for the whole 'kampung') and I will pack food for lunch the next day. Food at my cafeteria is so boring and not much of a variety. I could go to Macquarie Shopping Centre for lunch but it's too much of a trouble for me to drive there everytime.

So one night, hubby whipped up something really delicious and as predicted, we finished our dinner without any leftover. So, we were wondering what to bring to work the next day.

A few moments later, there was a knock on the door. Sue, my lovely Singaporean lady who lives next door (who married an angmoh, and has 2 beautiful kids) was at the door, holding up a plate of chicken lasagne fresh from the oven!!! We couldn't believe our blessing from the above...bless her soul!

That's when you know, God REALLY provides! The lasagne was absolutely delicious, too!!

Perth trip

I have been so slack. I did try to update my pregnancy blog but not this blog. So, please forgive me.

My company sent me to Fremantle for a genetics conference 2 weeks ago and although it was a last minute trip for us, it was worth it. Hubby was a little hesitant to go with me but after much persuasion, he gave in. All in all he enjoyed the trip but regretful that he lost his ipod! =(

Fremantle is absolutely beautiful and I can imagine myself living there. Perth as a whole is pretty nice to stay compared to Sydney. Sydney's too congested and fast-paced. If anyone's thinking of retirement, go to Perth.

I've posted heaps of photos in Facebook, so I'm kinda lazy to post it here because I have to resize all the pictures. I could do this through Picasa, but somehow I have been encountering some problems uploading photos in this blog through Picasa.

This trip has been a good experience for me. It was my first time attending a national conference and it was high time my company does something for me since I've been slogging like crazy for this company. It was probably going to be our last holiday together too before the baby comes. =)

Goodbye 'singlehood' and welcome motherhood! I'm so going to miss my sleep..
