space.

took time off from work in the afternoon for my monthly gynae appointment yesterday.

prof said i need to cut back on my carbs and start putting an emphasis on proteins instead. he's worried jigglyboo will grow too big for me to deliver normally. fine. the thing is, i don't even eat that much rice. but i do love me some pasta and of course, potatoes are my downfalls. fries, chips, everything. sigh. so i guess i gotta start planning dinners of grilled chicken salad and steaks. back in aussie i used to love having salmon for dinner, easy and yummy - but its so freakin expensive here. double sigh.

anyway, apart from my pregnancy weight gain, prof said everything else looks good. trying not to think too much of the fact that we only have like 10 weeks left til we meet jigglyboo. it's exciting and intimidating all at the same time.

after our appointment, R and i had a movie date. went to watch gravity. such a good movie. i'm normally not into science-related movies, much less astronaut-related ones, haha. but the movie was really good that i even forgot to eat the snacks we bought. afterwards, had a dinner date of vietnamese beef noodles with A, a childhood friend of mine. we don't see each other often but we like to catch up once in awhile.

gonna drop by the old office today to see my old bosses; need them to sign some work-related stuff. need to swing by and grab some pressies before tho (since one of them just had a baby too) - luckily my old office is connected to a huge shopping mall. also got a movie date with friends from the old office - havent seen any of them in awhile. it feels good to be back seeing familiar faces. i know a lot of things have changed in the last six months but it still feels a little bit like home.

coming to my office now still feels a bit strange. not because of a lack of anything, it's just the fact that i don't have any emotional ties here. i don't have strong friendships here. i guess it'll take time but with the old team, we bonded pretty fast so we were pretty close. but then again, can't compare apples and oranges. the atmosphere back then was pretty informal - even our relationships with our bosses - but here, things are pretty formal and professional. which isn't necessarily a bad thing - work gets done.

it's only tuesday and i'm already feeling so tired. sigh.
