It is Finished...

Today Mr. Kuo promised me that he will come to install the bio glass at my new house. My decoration in the livingroom area has bio glass. With bio glass, everything turned out perfectly.
This is TV wall. I have placed a playwood on my walls, so it should be better combine with the bio glass or the art glass. The color of the walls from the Tv walls are kind of brown and gray in combination.

The other part of the wall is already done. The ceiling in the dining area, I have them in woods. This will combine with sofa and the cabinates. Also the bio glass are dark and light gray.

You can see the walls better from here.

Here is another way of looking at the glass. Everything is closed it look like a wall. The bathroom and the kitchen is hiding behind the walls.

This is the door from the sotrage froom. It is also made from bio glass color white. Aland and Andrew can draw pictures over there. The house is coming together with all the pieces. I am so happy to see my new house coming up.

After three days of hard work, finally the security bars at the new house is already done. We just need to wait for the glasses that we want to put into garage. The glass will take a little while. I cannot wait untill tomorrow to see the glass and the fianl instalation of the security bars.

X'mas at Department Store

On the weekend, we went to the big department store in Tainan city. A lot of people were there shopping things for themselves and their families. Also now, it is aniversary time, so if you buy $5,000 NT dolalrs they will give you $500 NT dollars back.

When we arrived over there, we saw on the back entrance a big ball with x'mas tree and snowman. Alan and I started to take pictures.

This is the ball of x'ams. We saw people going inside and we decide to go inside also. We started to put on the line and luckily, there's not a lot of people waiting. It was too early for people to come.

Alan took picture infront of the ball.

Now, it is my turn to take a picture also with the ball.

We are inside of the ball, it is fun we could see everything closely. There's a bench, a tree and a shnowman. Alan could not even open his eye. The sun hits him very bad.
I took a picture with the snowman. This snowman is very cutre.

Also, Alan is taking a picture with the x'mas tree. This year with all the moves, we cannot have our own x'mas tree but next year in our new house I wish to buy one for Aln and the baby.

Baby snowman.

After when we went inside, we went to see massage chair. There's a promotion in Philips. We participated on their promotions, which we had to shake the tooth brush for one minute. I did not know how to shake it, I got 38 and Alan got 148. We did not even win. The winner can get 1,000 NT dollars cupon if you buy any philips products.

I want to buy an electic tooth brush for Alan but unfortunately, we did not have cupon for it.

For participation of thier competitions, they gave us philips pen for gift. It is something better than nothing. We had so much fun after the competition.

Second Sugar Test

This is Chi Mei Hospital in Tainan city. Here is where I am going to have my second baby. I wish I could have my second baby in USA, but with the economic situation and the new house, I do not think I could go there for the second baby.

I arrived at 7:30 A.M. The blood test is located on the second floor. I thought, I was too early, but there're a lot of people waiting in line already. For this test, I cannot eat for 8 hours before the test. Early in the morning, I wasn't feel hungry but after that, I felt very hungry.

The first test I did was at 7:45 A.M. and after that they gave me two bags of sugar to drink after the first blood test.

The test took entire day. The first two tests will be each 30 minutes. The second test would be at 8;30 A.M. and the third one was at 9:00 A.M. Each blood they took like 30 cc. from my body. After drinking two bags of sugar with two cups of water, I really fell not very comfortable.

This are the first three tests from the same arm. I was hurting too much for doing this.

The last two should be 60 minutes. After one hour, I did the fourth blood test. It was around 10:00 A.M. already. The last test of the day, I did at 11:00 A.M. After that I felt dizzy and very hungry. I really want to eat more and more. I did not have energy for anything else.
After the test, I went to the restaurant which is located closer to the hospital. I had a lot of vegetables and fish with a bowl of rice. I ate my meal which wasn't very cheap. For this meal I spent $90 NT dollars. After eating this, I still felt a little hungry.

I had time before I go back to my school. I bought a drink for Alan and I brought to his chool. I chose the day where I can go to the hospital becuase we were on the midterms exams. I was very glad that I finished my blood test for the day already.

Painting

Finally, after three days of painting my house only the first floor, they finally finished what they need to do.

This part is the main entrance, also the TV wall is over there, we can see the front door, closely. The walls are white and very bright.

This part is the dinning are and the piano area. Behind the satirs, I have a little storage room where I can put my bicycle inside.

I made two doors, one the bathroom door and another one is the kitchen door. ALso the walls will combine with the glass.
This is the ceiling of the livingroom. Inside of the ceiling, I have T5 lights, they are color yellow. Also, I will have my main light in the middle of the ceiling. I cannot wait to see everything done.
This part is the ceiling for the dining area. It is done, but it needs T5 bulbs and the main dining light. They are going to put all the main lights that I need for this floor when the paint is dry.

This is part of storage area closer to the livingroom. I have huge space here where I can put my bicycles.

This is part of the hallway closer to the kitchen. The walls are already painted nicely. I like the color, so not everything will look like white only.

My Future Kitchen

I need kitchen for my house. People design this picture of my future kitchen. I can see it is coming so beautiful. The designers of the kitchen are wonderful. They know what people want and they know how to pleased people.

It looks nice on the picture, but the price is too high. Everything is money now for the new house. Below is the bill of my kitchen, it doesn't look very clear but it is something that you can see and compare with others.

I did not compare the price of my kitchen with other companies because the person who is making the kitchen for us is a friend of one of the members of my husband's family.

Andrew, 27th Weeks

Tonight, I went to the hospital and the doctor said Andrew is growing very well. He is now 27th week with 1,080 kilograms. He is very big now. My tummy is getting heavier and heavier and it is not only that, my tummy is also getting bigger and bigger, rounder and rounder.

After shower, I need to rub my cream in my stomach, to prevent stretch marks in the future. Also, I am getting tired easily, I want to sleep all the time.

I am hopping that Andrew can get bigger enough, I will eat a lot, so he can grow in my tummy. I am very happy to have this child. He came by surprise and being my lovely son.

The bad news is my sugar is too high, it is 177, the normal is 140 around. The doctor said it is possible to have gestational diabetes. The doctor suggested me to do another compleate blood test. Before the test, I cannot eat for 8 hours.

I am not eating a lot of sugar or cakes, the doctor told me that it is not only that but also, rice, noodles and bread will let me to have a high sugar in my body.

I always think eating or having too much sugar will have diabetes, but I did not even think rice, bread, or noodles will also can have diabetes. It is so scary.

Lights are Ready!

Finally, after a long time, we did not have any lights are pur new house. This morning, people came to install the lights at my new house. I am so happy. My house look brighter and bigger. With the decorations, my house is not look like the same.
This is the light from the garage. I use T5 which saves more energy. The color of the lights are whites, which I do not need to worry anout anything. When I turn this light at night, I do not need to worry about the dark now. It is very bright. This is the light from the elders room. Since I made the room into a Japanese style, the light has to combine with the decoration a little bit. It is 4 bulbs inside. It is very light for the room like this.
This is the light from master's room. It has 6 bulbs inside. It is very bright for my room.

Alan's room is just infront of my room. Actually, Alan's room has to ceilings, his room is very big. One shape he has the soccer and another one he has the stars. Also his own bathroom, he has stars too.

This is from the stairs. It has only two bulbs inside. People won't hurt when they climb upstairs.

This light is from the hallway. Each floor are the same.
They made two wholes for the inside lights.

The second floor above are all done, except Alan's balcony and the 4th floor. I am so excited to see everything has to be finished. I cannot wait to see everything.

Boys Scout

This is the first day for Alan to get his boys scout uniform. He is so handsome in this uniform. He likes to participate in all kids of activity.

The boys scout in Taiwan is called (童軍). This assotiation is located everywhere in Taiwan.

Alan is well unifromed with this uniform. With this unifrom he seems bigger and older. He looks like a little soldier for me. My baby is a big baby now.

They are doing some activities over there outside. Alan listens to his teacher carefully.

Big Drink

Now, everywhere in Taiwan people sale drinks. Any kind of drinks are very popular here in Taiwan. Specially, summer time, drinks are very famous and popular. All kinds of people will have a drink during summer. Some business are good and some of them are not even good.

This store sales traditional red tea, red tea with ice cream and donqua tea (冬瓜茶). Donqua in english is (white gourd). It is kind of squash and they made drink out of it.

They said this shop sales drinks that taste from old generation. It keeps traditional flavours.

It is located in Chandhe Road, lane 38. It is not too far from my new house.

I bought five of them and I can get one free.

I bought donqua tea and one free I got red tea with an ice cream. The size of the drink is huge. It is 1,000 cc. One person cannot even finish the drink. Two people is ok to drink this.

Usually, Alan wants to have one for himself. He is always thirsty and he always wants to drink more. Drinking too much of donqua is not good because it is very sweet.
