Helau in Germany

Its been a while since I last blog.

Shall blog about Helau in Germany.

I was at the Helau parade last Sunday. It was a sunny afternoon, therefore not so cold (11 degree)

Helau is something like our Chingay in Singapore

except that they would throw candies, toys and flowers at the crowd (to me, this is the interesting part compared to ur Chingay)

Some of the crowds will dress up as characters along the street.

As the parade goes on, the crowds will scream and shout "HELAU" and will also try to snatch as much candies as they can.

They even bring bags along to hold those candies. Can you imagine pple will be able to snatch two bagful of candies home.

Of course I manage to snatch some candies too, but not too much cos no point holding onto the candies while I cant eat at all (bcos of pregnancy), so I pass some to my hubby's colleagues.

Next year, will bring my baby along and of course bags to fill up the candies.

They are throwing candies down to the crowd




Hubby's colleagues dressed up as witches & clown ?

Back to Germany

was back to hometown for the past two weeks due to granddad passed away.
Been a very sad occasion.
so much happening at home but all's been well now.
Flew back to home in Germany last night... Happy and touched to have my aunties,uncles,cousins,brother to see me off at the airport ... really miss them
somehow, misses family and friends and food (veg bee hoon) and everything in Singapore so much... even more than the first time I flew here...
very emotional this time, probably due to pregnancy?

Landed at 5.30am(Germany time) this morning. sooooo tired after the long flight.
But happy to see my hubby again.

See you guys in Spore next year, and always keep me update of any latest news.

Luv,
Alicia

A False Alarm

04.01.2007

Collected my blood test results few days ago.
It shows :
German Measle - Positive
German Measle IGM - Negative
Immunity - Yes

Worried for few days cos there's a positive in one of the result.
went online to check wat is German measle.
Its a disastrous to contract this disease during pregnancy cos can affect the unborn baby which most likely to cause baby's defects.

Today had an appt with Gynae. Ask her to explain on the results shown.
To my relieve, the results is read as :

German Measle in the past : Positive
German Measle present : Negative
Immunity : Yes

which means I am immune to this disease and are tested negative now.
Its such a relieve to me and my hubby now.
Everything is fine and baby growing very well.
went for ultrasound and saw my baby. . .
Gender still unknown. haha....



Here's the ultrasound pic showing my baby.. 14 weeks now.

X'mas eve - Dinner at Restaurant

24.12.2006 - X'mas eve

Went dinner with hubby's friends at a Chinese Restaurant.
Enjoy the food there cos taste exactly like Spore Chinese Food except for the "Bai Zhan Ji"which taste a bit wierd. Forgotten to take pics of the foods.. but anyway, nothing special.

After dinner, hubby's friend commented that I put on weight..
Sian... being commented as being fat.
Of course will put on weight mah.. cos pregnant.
By the way, the pic shown is me being 13 weeks pregnant.
Do u think I put on weight?
