Dad's Pregnant Too

Borrowed this book from the library for Hubby to read. Perfect for preparing him for this exciting journey. The book is cleverly put together including personal experience of expectant fathers. The constant message is for men to try to better understand what we are going through and useful tips are given for survival during this period. I read the book myself and found it quite funny. Highly recommended!

There's also a website just for dads http://www.dadspregnant.com/

A Visit to NLB

Just went to the library earlier to borrow some cook books but in the end I returned with 5 books and none of them is a cook book :P Hmm... come to think about it, it's my first visit this year to borrow books for myself.

Borrowed this Eyewitness Travel Guidebook as we're going to Phuket the next weekend!

 It's my first trip to Phuket. It'll be a great short getaway. Jerome had wanted to go to Tioman but the air tickets there are about 40% more expensive than the air tickets to Phuket. The last getaway we had was during the CNY when we went to a nice resort at Batam.

I've bought and read Julie Powell's "Julie and Julia" about how she started a blog to document her experience in trying out all the recipes in Julia Child's French cookbook. Well, she became famous, very famous and her story's been made into a movie last year. See... ordinary women in the kitchen who became famous... Hmm... when's my turn? :P

Picked up these two books at the Crafts Section... Yap, going to learn to knit... Wait & see...

Julie & Julia

Think this is the first book I've read for pleasure this year... For a library coordinator, promoting reading in school, I'm ashamed to make this confession...

Bought the book "Julie and Julia" by Julie Powell from Borders last Tues. Was actually looking for books for the school library but saw that there are some "3-for-2" books on offer. Chose this book to try get some inspiration on what to do come July. Yap, it's the book that's made into a movie, based on the real life of Julie.
Julie was getting sick of her own life and came up with a project- to cook all the 524 recipes in "Mastering The Art of French Cooking" by Julia Child in a year. She documented her experiences in her blog "What Could Happen?" as well. She became famous and well, the rest is history.


Managed to complete the book in 3 days during my bus rides.
As I read the book, I could relate to Julie. Beside coooking and blogging, she's also trying for a baby. Last year, during my leave from work, I started 2 blogs to 'kill' time and to 'talk'. I'm glad to have a place to share about my experiences and reflections. Friends, relatives and people from all around the world visited my blogs. I would check into my blogs daily to check on the number of visitors and look forward to recieving comments. My last entry was a Christmas log cake. I've not been updating my food blog as I've been too busy at work and not cooking and baking enough.

Looking back at my blog, I wonder how I managed to come up with all the cakes... I fear I have lost the touch...
