Our new chapter

I am officially at 38 weeks of pregnancy today. In another 2 weeks (or earlier) Mr. Moon and I are going to start a new chapter after 4 years of marriage. We are expecting Moon Junior to arrive in the first week of December 2011! :)




How do I feel now? Both ecstatic and nervous of course.. ecstatic because I'll be seeing my baby for the first time very soon...nervous because I have never experienced giving birth before and I hope it 'll be a smooth and safe one. Most importantly, I hope baby will arrive 'safe and healthy'.



The first few months of my pregnancy was not a smooth sailing one though. I had very severe morning sickness..or I would call it 'whole day' sickness, feeling nauseous, lost my appetite for practically every food that was put on the table, vomiting out every single bite of food that I forced myself to swallow, lost weight till the end of the 4th month and even got myself hospitalized due to dehydration!I was put on drips for 2 nights!

And don't get me started on sleepless nights, backaches, dizziness etc..hehehe..



Now when I look back, I am so thankful that my Mom was there to take care of me, to help me get through, feeding me with nutritious soup, home cooked food and all things a Mom would do for her child!

THANK YOU MAMA! I'm going to be a mother myself soon and I aspire to be like my Mom. How can someone be so selfless, and make time to do sooooo much for her child!!???

I wonder what kind of parents, Mr. Moon and I would be.....hmmmm...??? I really have no idea now.. we'll see yeah...haha...



Alright, here are some of MY FAVOURITE PHOTOS that Mr. Moon and I decided to take at 32 weeks to capture my baby bump and physique while I'm pregnant for memories sake. Photos were taken by Yung Yaw, who did a lovely job ! :)
Thank you so much:)

PURINA One 'Picture of Health' Contest

Mr. Moon and I received an email from PURINA 2 months ago which was all about the Purina One 'Picture of Health' contest.  Lil' Pepper has always been a fan of PURINA pet food. I have been feeding her Purina since she was  9 months old, starting her on PURINA Pro Plan for puppies, then switching her to  Purina Pro Plan Shredded Blend and finally  PURINA One Smart Blend ( for convenience sake because this can be bought from off the shelves at the nearest hyperrmarket)

Since we already have a pack of PURINA One at home, we did not want to miss having a chance to win cool amazing cash prizes and goodies. Well, there's nothing to lose right?  I then submitted Pepper's photos that could possibly depict the 6 signs of a healthy dog as required.

This is not Lil' Pepper's first photo contest. She actually won twice before this, both times getting her photo featured in The Star and winning herself some petcare goodies. :)

One fine day last week, we received a call from PURINA, with the news that Lil Pepper had won consolation prize! She was one of the lucky 20 consolation prize winners chosen out of more than 200 submissions!Yay !!!

We were invited to the prize giving ceremony cum hi-tea at Fitou in Desa Park City, where they would also reveal the top three finalist . It was also a session to meet Angel Wong Chui Ling and her pooch Fatty, both the ambassadors of the brand.

Chui Ling sharing about her 'moments' with her pooch Fatty a.k.a Fei Mui on stage. 

I bumped into Eng Hui a.k.a. Val there. Both of us are expecting very very SOON!

After the panel of judges had a final examination on the top three dogs up close and personal, the winners were finally announced.

This cute Jack Russel won third prize.

This Beagle won second prize.

and the Grand Prize of RM 10,000 went to this Border Collie. The owner/master was so esctatic he was lost for words when interviewed. I would too if I were to win this amount of CASH! Look at him kissing his doggie!!!

The dog with the Greatest 6 signs of health!:)

There were other local celebrities and also some bloggers there. Managed to snap a photo with Chui Ling...

and Amber Chia who was there with her son and pooches too.

A proud Mr. Moon posing with his  RM 500 prize and Lil Pepper at Fitou.

Then,Lil Pepper's turn at home!:)

Isn't it great? Lil Pepper won herself  RM 500 + 5 packs of PURINA One kibbles that are enough to feed her for at least 9 months.

We are so proud of you Pepper! :)



SweetPepperLove is still alive!

This is my first blog entry after I stopped blogging abruptly since I started my new job more than 9 months ago. My new job has been a rollercoaster of new experiences, continuous learning and of course many trials and errors in between.
One of my greatest joys (so far ..) was being able to get a 'free makeover' done by my colleague when I sat in as a 'model' to practise on before a major presentation, which I was also involved in but dealing with different areas. Great opportunity to get my make-up properly done before my own presentation .

Trying on a turqoise eye colour

All set for my presentation

I am trying to get this look done by myself every morning. This is one of my resolutions for year 2011, a more refined and improved version of myself.


I am looking forward to a fabulous and exciting year 2011!Hopefully, one with great surprises too *wink*
