Mission Bay Park

Weekends is "Carian-day" and we get to google for places to go. The criteria for the chosen destination - it has to be in vicinity (<>

Mission Bay Park is the largest man-made aquatic park in the country, consisting of 4,235 acres, approximately 46% land and 54% water. The park offers a wide range of recreational activities including paths for walking and jogging, and playgrounds for children. It is one of San Diego's most popular locations to fly a kite, picnic or sail a model yacht.

To save money, we pack our lunch from Ranch 99, it cost us only US$4.26 (incl Tax) for two-dish meal plus fried rice (see left) and is super yummy!!! What a bargain huh...

We walked and sat down looking at people flying kites; it was a perfect day for kite flying... i just lie on the grass, watch the kites in the blue sky and enjoy the moments with Ian. It feels like 'foreshore' once again...

Almost sunset...we drove to Mission Bay Beach which faces the Pacific Ocean.
Whoa, the experience is totally different...the beach is packed with high schooler (it must be spring break...); girls in their bikini and boys topless (Ian & me are freezing) and the surfers chasing the waves.

We walked along the boardwalk enjoying the breeze and munching away our snack (actually only me *grin*). The beach houses along the boardwalk are so nice...one even has a heated spa facing the ocean (actually, everyone will be looking at you as they walk pass...)

Took a few pics of the sunset...is beautiful. "God performs wonders that cannot be fathomed. Miracles that cannot be counted..." Job 9:10


Another brilliant day @ San Diego...final shot of us >>>

Housewife or housefly?

If you asked me what's my ambition a decade ago, i will tell you instantly that I want to be a full-time mum and housewife. Don't ask me why...*shrug*

Ever since Ian started working, my life as a housewife is rather humdrum...

I will wake up & walk Ian to his car, say my goodbye, return to my bed and sleep till 9:30am or later. After my beauty sleep, I'll have my breakfast while watching Tyra Bank show (she's cool...) and then spend time with God. Afternoon, I will either go to the gym, collect mails and/or ironing. Then around 4pm, I will get ready (make myself pretty) and wait for Ian to return home.

What a life. I should be the envy of many woman yet...*i dun know*

Family Planning 101...

518 days to Beijing 2008 Olympics and that's mean 506 days to me turning 30! Wow, it feels like just yesterday that i celebrated my 21st birthday. Age is catching up and my biological clock is ticking... As the decade progresses, a woman's fertility goes into free fall. That's why fertility experts caution women in their 30s not to wait too long, particularly if they want more than one child...

(Pregnancy rates over the course of one year)

Using the fertility calculator from this awesome website (http://www.babycenter.com), I calculated that if we want a 'piglet' (not at all am i superstitious) I have till next month to conceive...*pressure is up and now we gotta work doubly hard*

We acknowledge that every child is a gift & blessing from God and if we 'bingo' we'll praise the LORD, even if God choose to close my womb we will still praise Him...then maybe Ian will allow me to get a dog *grin*.

Everyday, i'll just spend an hour or so to do my due diligence...how to get pregnant & how to be a healthy mum. For the rest, I'll leave it to God!
