Countdown - 6 weeks to go?
We are half way through Lent and sad to note that my Lent sacrifice of not getting worked up with the kids (and their dad) isn't working out at all. After a few days, I couldn't help myself.I am back to my old self, doing the discipline the harsh way, the only way I know and only way that works, unfortunately. Feel bad but my soft approach did not work, so mission abandoned.
My MIL came to 'harvest' the rice wine which was brewing in my kitchen. Seems like it turned out good. It has been filtered and boiled. We waited for it to cool down enough to bottle them up in time for my confinement which will be in about a month's time. After waiting overnight, she managed to get about 10 bottles of clear wine and 2 bottles of more with sediments.
As the delivery date for my baby is drawing near, I am starting to source for some necessities. I have bought some new clothes, baby wipes and diapers and feeding bottles. I am looking to purchase a breast pump now. I have always had latching problems with my babies, so it's quite likely that I will need a breast pump right after birth to maintain the milk production. Hoping to breast feed for at least 6 months to 1 year. To some women, that's a breeze but to me, because of the latching problems, it's a challenge. I really hope it's different this time around.
As I am getting bigger and more swollen, simple things are getting hard to do. Cannot bend, cannot squat and using chopsticks or spoon is not easy anymore. Sleeping time is the worst for me. My hands are always painful especially at night, waking me up middle of the night! I need to hold on for just 6 weeks more, I am sure I can do that. Please pray together with me and my family for my unborn baby (source):

| 10 bottles of such, which will be made into yummy dishes for my confinement, hooray! |

"Father, in Jesus' name, I thank You for my unborn child. I treasure this child as a gift from You. My child was created in Your image, perfectly healthy and complete. You have known my child since conception and know the path he/she will take with her life. I ask Your blessing upon her and stand and believe in her salvation through Jesus Christ.
When You created man and woman, You called them blessed and crowned them with glory and honor. It is in You, Father, that my child will live and move, and have her being. She is Your offspring and will come to worship and praise You.
Heavenly Father, I thank and praise You for the great things You have done and are continuing to do. I am in awe at the miracle of life You have placed inside of me. Thank You! Amen.

HeeJun,the funniest guy on Idol
I am watching American Idol season 11 on 8TV. Of course I already know the results since the show is not live. I am glad that the very cute and funny HeeJun Han is in the top 13. Maybe because he is Korean and I am partial to cute Korean guys, ;P. But at the same time, I am pretty sure he won't win the competition. I am still hoping he gets further into the competition so that I can get to see his cuteness on the show. Don't get me wrong, he sings very well but so do the rest. I am posting some of his funny moments on the show at the end of this entry.
There were a few surprised cuts. Eben, the good looking boy-man is out and a girl with very impressive vocals, Jen Hirsh is out too. Too bad. But there is another contestant in the top 13 that is very impressive, he is Joshua Ledet. Man, this guy can really sing. Philip Philips is also different and good looking. Other than these few, I am not too interested in the rest of the top 13. They are all great singers but they don't really catch my attention.
I probably won't be following this season's idol once these few guys get kicked out. But I already have my favourite idol of all times, ADAM LAMBERT! Let me end this short blog entry with HeeJun's interview videos who oozes with cuteness and genuine, lovable funniness.
