Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: Upcoming Food Blog Posts

Kimberly Peterson

Hello everyone! I’m writing from my cousin’s place in Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia. Today is my last day here in KL and I’m just killing some time at her place due to absolute exhaustion (and satisfaction) and no longer have the urge nor need to shop until I literally drop… hehe. Staying at the Dorsett Regency KL in the popular Bukit Bintang area meant everything was within close proximity and shopping malls and food places were conveniently located within walking distance. It’s been a wonderful trip, did LOTS of eating so I thought I’d write a quick blog post to … Continue reading Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: Upcoming Food Blog Posts

And It’s A…..

Kimberly Peterson

In most pregnancies, the 20-week scan is one of the most important and exciting milestones! Yes, I am only 19 weeks pregnant but we had to do our scan a bit earlier so I can have peace of mind travelling to Malaysia for a holiday next week.  Hubby and I were very excited, and a bit nervous earlier today! After all, we haven’t seen our baby for 12 whole weeks since we had our first scan at 7 weeks. Hubby and I have decided to skip the scans in betweens (the scans for Down Syndrome, etc) because it wasn’t going … Continue reading And It’s A…..

Crispy Deep Fried Whole Snapper with Lemon Chilli Sauce and Asian Salad

Kimberly Peterson

I absolutely LOVE eating a whole fish. Maybe it’s an Asian thing, as most people will find eating a whole fish rather “disturbing” as that fish head stares at you. Maybe you have seen my previous blog posts “Dad’s Assam Fish Head Curry” and “Fish Head Tom Yum Soup” – so you see I’m a huge fan of the fish head, lol. I find eating just a fish fillet rather unsatisfying… most people would probably think I’m crazy. Why would I want to deal with all those little fish bones and weird parts e.g. fins, eye ball, teeth, etc? Aaahhhh … Continue reading Crispy Deep Fried Whole Snapper with Lemon Chilli Sauce and Asian Salad

Week 18: Feeling Strangely Normal

Kimberly Peterson

I feel strangely… normal, today. No bloating. My belly is not showing as much as it did a few days ago (bloating probably contributed to how big my belly looks day by day). Nausea hasn’t been happening for a while now, which is fantastic. My lower back pains definitely gone, for now. I actually feel almost, not pregnant! Is there something wrong?? Deep down I know I’m just having a good, pain-free day and I am thankful for this. After all, they say the 2nd trimester is the best time for the pregnancy and we are supposed to feel the … Continue reading Week 18: Feeling Strangely Normal

Party Mama!

Kimberly Peterson

Last Friday night, hubby and I threw a massive party at our house to celebrate his 27th birthday. It wasn’t a significant birthday, but we decided to throw a huge party anyway – after all, we may not have this luxury of big parties after the baby is born! So we filled up the entire bathtub with beers, and I had hot food coming out every 30 minutes, and our house was packed with people just chatting away, or having a game of pool, or playing SingStar of Guitar Hero, or just chilling outside (literally chillin’ as it was a … Continue reading Party Mama!

Week 17: Posterior Pelvic Pain

Kimberly Peterson

In my first 12 weeks of pregnancy, I went through a horrible phase of feeling like a vegetable most of the time and feeling nauseous (especially at night) and some vomiting on my worst days. As I gradually pass the first trimester, I start feeling less nauseous (although I still feel sick every once in a while especially when I’m carsick or hungry) and things generally feel a lot better. A new problem I’m starting to have though, is a deep pain very low down my spine pretty much deep within my buttocks. The pain is especially bad whenever I … Continue reading Week 17: Posterior Pelvic Pain
