Lo Hei! Lo Hei!!

Lo Hei day for me! It's also part of the chinese to eat Lo Hei on 7th day of CNY. But then again, as long as CNY, almost everyday is an excuse to eat Lo Hei!

To put in a nutshell, Lo Hei are mainly veg wif lots of other auspicious items mixed together. Half the fun of eating Lo Hei.. the is "Lo-ing" where all the ppl will stand rnd the dish and each will try to mix the veg as high as possible saying all sorts of good things.. then when the veg and the ingredients are well mixed, it't time to dig in!

It's also a bz day for hubby and me. Had my colleagues come over in the afternoon for popiah party... (which is y I was preparing the ingredients yesterday!) Surprisingly, Aw was the earliest to reach, followed by Shi Yun, followed by Irene and her bf, Mel. The last to arrive were the following, KAN EE MAY, ONG ZHEN LING and TAN BENG YONG! Goodness, lunch was supposed to start at 1pm, by the time the 3 latecommers arrive, all have left except for Aw. So it's like -3+3, brings back to the same number of ppl who are here.

When the finally came, we gave them a loud cheer to express welcome..haha.. they they went into y they took so long to come.. 1) EM overslept 2) BY took them onto the wrong bus 3) they refused to take a cab down from wherever they are..

There were so much food left over that we had to play silly games to force mre food dw each other's throat... but it was fun lar... really enjoyed myself with them. After such a heavy lunch, we settled dw to play Blackjack.. This gambling thingy is so common among us chinese, especially during the CNY period. Everyone will gamble somehow, some day.

They stayed for quite a while.. till abt 6 where we took sme group photos and things then after tat they each went on their way coz my 2nd grp of friends, who comprises of my Godma and family, Bro Daniel and family as well as hubby's Godpa (w/o family!) Don't get me wrong, not tat he has no family just that he din bring them lor.

Another rnd of Lo Hei and then mre popiah for the day. I think it has really been a super super long time ago that I ate so healthily for lunch and dinner. As we all know popiah only consists of veg and muang kuang. V little of anything else.

But too much of the good things still not tat good after all... ate soooooo much veg today... popiah x don't know how many rolls... Lo Hei x 2 times... (not to mention last nite in CTK, we had home made Lo Hei for refreshment too) so the whole day, intake are all veg... healthy system within me starts today!

After dinner, we just snack (food again!) at the dinning table and then chit chat.. before long, another round of blackjack... Bro's son, Jarren.. wah lau... has the makings of a pro gambler.. before he takes each card, he will peep and then blow or say a prayer or whatever... his voice was really loud especially when he got all excited and start shouting it really peirece my ears.. while we were playing, Bro's girl, Chole was jumping on my sofa -_-" hai... Y does kids like to do that? No idea... but I cannot take it. So i just call her name and stare at her and she stop... I think this is the "if looks can kill" stance of mine that hubby always comment on lor..

Haha... after all these, we are dead tired... but after they left, I vaccumm the floor while hubby mopped up. So not so bad lar.. He helped arnd the hse and we manage to get things done rather fast.

Enjoyable day for all I assume, I had fun, best is coz this is at my home, I can do whatever I want and leave as late as I want.. coz din have to travel. The only thing not good is we got to clear up lor.

V fast, CNY is already more than half gone. Every year, we hv sme kinda gathering wif Godma and Bro. But this yr, we added in hubby's Godpa partly coz in this way, we can grow closer and also coz we were hoping Godpa's wife can influence Bro's wife to the christian community.. well.. c how lar.. things are in HIS ctrl.

Tiring day all rnd I guess..

Me the CHEF =)

Wah... today, I have turned into the chef! Coz preparing for 2 popiah parties tml takes time, so today is the day where I prepare the ingredients with the help of Godma who is working in office!

Whenever I run into problems or doubts, the first person I think of is Godma.. and our typical calls will go like this...

Ring Ring
me: Hello, Godma ar.
Godma: Hello,yar. What?
me: I shelling the prawns now. How do you want me to cut ar?
Godma: Slice it lor.
me: huh? Slice? means cut straight down?
Godma: no lar, tat 1 is call diced lar. Slice is erm.. aiyah.. how to tell u?
me:???
Godma: U don't know wat is sliced?
me: Dont know lar.
Godma: er... normally when u cut the knife faces down right?
me: yar..
Godma: then put ur knife in erm.. sleeping position and cut as thinly as u can.
me: so the prawns are in the shape of the 'C' lar... cut out still like tat lar?
Godma: yar..
... ...

wah.. never knew cutting / slicing prawns also so much yan jiu.. and this is not the only thing. Had to slice the lap cheong at an angle... and eggs got to mash... and luckily tat's all.

But!! Alone on slicing prawns and slicing lap cheong, took me a day! Guess.. I'm not so great a chef after all..

CNY still or SGH day??

I kinda lost track which day of the Lunar day of CNY is today.. but to me it doesn't make any difference, coz it seems like a day in SGH!! My goodness!!

I am wondering if ppl actually keep to their appointments. ESPECIALLY in the case of SGH specialist clinics, a certain clinic something something..

Mum had 2 appointments today, 1st at clinic A and the other in clinic something something.. Being the typical Singaporean, we are KIASU and thus went there early and thus was the 1st in the 1st clinic. Good?! U bet, coz we'll be the first! Unfortunetly, the doc is someone who KNOWS how to keep time! She came on time. So though we were early, we got to wait till our appointed time at 2.50pm which equals to an hour plus of wait!

2nd appointment is at the clinc something something... gosh... tat clinic is crowded. Singaporeans has lotsa ENT problems, i came to this conclusion owing to the huge crowd and long queue.

Appointment time is at 3.55 pm or thereabouts... and guess what?! We only managed to c the blessed Dr Goh at close to 5.30pm!!! Arggg!!! Today my precious leave is spend in SGH.. hai..

I hope this Dr Goh is good, he told my mum, instead of the blesed operation, y don't he just do a simple procedure (goodness knows what it is called) similiar to that of taking blood samples... except that this time the bloody needle will be poking into the lump at my mum's throat. Waited for so long, of course must take mre time with the doc to make up for it! haha... so anyway, the Dr just withdraw the whatever it is in the lump from my mum's throat. Gosh!!! The effect is immediate!!! I can c the lump shrink!! It's still there but not so big anymore.

If it is just so simple, y din he take it out the last time?! Y must make my mum stay in the hospital for a week? Y must operate?? Gosh i tell u... nothing can descripe the question marks in my head... and just coz we are paying lesser means the service is so horriable? Got to come back more often? Goodness, we are Singaporeas! It's bad enough that we don't have special privallges... but hey... medical is impt to all! Stepts shd be taken to provide better service and LESS wastage of ppl's $! We go to gov hospitals coz of the costs mar. If we can afford, of course go to the high end hospitals! sucks!!!

Anyway... pay $ also got to wait... sigh... after leaving the blessed hospital, I wanted to go to IKEA to buy water jugs, large plates and whatever household items I need.. Since my mum has NEVER set foot there, I persuaded her to go with me.. if not next time ppl say IKEA, she will be so mountain turtle! haha..

Took the MRT from Outram to Queenstown and then take another bus in. I think my mum is really quite mountain turtle, she has never set foot in.. so anyway, we each bought a couple of items..

She bought a side table (which ppl normally use beside their sofas) for her precious plants at home.. 1 nice looking pot for (again!) her precious plant. Sisscors, a pack of hooks and a weighing scale (the scales looks good and the price is so cheap $5.90 only!) If not for the fact that I already have one at home, I'll get one too!

While for me, I bought 2 big plates (same series to those that we are already using), a pack of hooks and a roll of plastic drawer mat. Yep, that's all i bought.. coz I can't find a satisfactory water jug.. but I forgot to buy some air tight containers.. =(

While at the pottery section, (where my mum got her pot) I saw some nice vases.. It has been on our minds to get a HUGE vase to be place beside the fridge but we haven't got round to doing it... Coz i always feel if we were to buy such a huge 1, then how to bring home? Either the vase or a standing floor lamp.. Lamps are expensive, wastes electricity, so we most likely will go with the vase at the end of the day... Just don't know when lar.

Took the bus back with my mum. I think my mum really pampers my youngest sis too much. Called home and ask wat she wants for dinner and call her BB! My sister is already 16 for goodness sake! Anyway... the ride hm was rather fast gng by the fact that we were on PUBLIC transport.

Planned to meet hubby at the bus stop, dumped all the barang barang at the bakery and then hubby and me went off to catch another bus to J8.. where we went for dinner and then to get a present for Shir.

Too hungry to go shopping, so we went to the hawker above the bus interchange for a late dinner. We had bak chow mee pok dry.. mine had chili while hubby's din hv.. I like it =) had a bowl of veg soup along with it.. Yummy yummy.. (think I'm gonna grow fat from all these eating)

Rushed thru it then went to get a present.. too many things... and din really know wat to get.. finally settle on a MICKEY MOUSE bag for her... cheap too... Only $12 =) happy with my purchase, went to get wrappers and back to the bakery we went, to collect our barang barang and also take some bread for breakfast for tml.

Though most of the day was spent waiting for the Dr... it was v tiring... goodnes... waiting is tiring!!

Thank God, tml is Friday and I am STILL ON LEAVE =D

1st day of Feb 2006

First day of February 2006 marks the 4th day of CNY and also marks the countdown to my next bday.

Most ppl wld have begin to get back to work but not for hubby and me. Guess we are really 2 lazy bums. Both of us took leave and we literally laze and do nothing at home. Now that we have our own roof above our heads, we seem to have lost interests in gng out.

Back to the days when we were dating, as long as holiday or on leave or anything, we will be outta of the hse as soon as we are ready to get out... (most times is waiting for me to finish dolling up) But now, we became or rather I became so homely, I can hardly recongnise myself! Ha!! Mum will be sooo surprised to hear and see that we are lazing at home on a glorious day like today!

Come to think of it, I cannot even remember wat we had been doing the whole of today! Gosh... getting old already?! Tat's too fast for comfort!

I think we literally spend the day snoozing in front of the google box. Then we took a nap, was waken by Trina's sms and then we went to bathe (wheather together or separately, that is a secret!) haha

Then I remembered Trina and her Kel came to our hse to just look c and sit down, went thru our wedding photos and then chit chatted for a while and then we went off together.

Coz we were meeting Yuin at PS at abt 7.30pm, and hubby and I wanted to go to Spotlight to get some hse hold items we went early. After making a last min reservation at Manhattan Fish Market, we went to walk arnound. Luckily we made the reservation as soon as we arrived! Coz by the time we got Yuin's sms tat she's here, the queue was long!! Gosh.. Singaporeans and food...

Hm... Manhattan Fish Market is somewhat similiar to Fish & Co. Mayb coz I had eaten fm Fish & Co I find Manhattan nicer. But again, it's to each his own coz Trina preferred the Fish & Co while the rest of us prefer Manhattan. It cld be the impressive fire grilling the prawns wif cheese right there and then... Or it could simply be coz it's new... But whatever the reason, we had a good dinner =) of praws, fish, rice, oysters and fries. Yummy Yummy!! Will go back again when there's a chance. Best part is, for the 5 of us the bill came out to be less than $100!!! Tat's really a hard to get price leh. On the average, each of us spent less than $20 for a restaurant meal!

During dinner, we chatted abt marriage, kids, hse.. all of these, Yuin, myself and hubby has experience to share. Only Trina and Kel can't share lor.. Coz they not there yet, but the 3 of us has lots to talk abt.. While the 2 of them listen, they also had doubts that they can clarified and be answered and just listening also can learn something lar.. I hope.. haha I think they shd be able to get something outta of it lar... coz they want to get a re-sale flat in their parents' area. Lucky for them, both parents stay in the same area. Not so good is that, they only hv 1 area to chosoe from lor. They this couple also quite cute lar... say want to stay in the midpoint of parents.. must chun chun midpoint... think got to go n get measuring tape and start measuring liao lor.. haha

After dinner, coz of the time, we din go anywhere lor, immediately went back to the car, luckily stay near to each other, so we can all go hm the same way, only Yuin different, want to give her a ride also hard.. she stay JURONG!!! Gosh.. the other end of SG leh!

Back in the car, we just chatted lor... but hai... mum called and asked me to bring her my ez link card coz she gng out.. tat sort of created a little tiff between hubby and me. He seems to think that my mum shd call my sis to go and pass to her at the bakery and that I unduldge in her too much. But hey... we are on the way home.. will pass by the bakery, so it's ok mar.. BUT!! I do agree wif hubby tat my mum does bully me too much.. hai...

But the strange part is hor... my mum has this kinda hold over me.. she never does it to my sisters.. and neither will I allow hubby to do this to me leh..

CNY day 3

wah.. so fast, 3rd day of CNY liao.. had a tiff wif my mum last nite and I wanted to not go to my uncle's plc today.. but wat she says makes sense coz every year they come to my mum's plc but this yr coz my mum unwell, she cancelled so tat brings us to go to my uncle's plc in Sembawang, Woodsilve.

Gave her a face when i saw her, refuse to acknowledge her pressence.. v bad hor.. but don't care lar. haha

Had a light lunch, sat for a while then we went back to my PIL's plc for another rnd of lunch. Wonder how much food has been gng into my stomach for the last couple of days.

After that, went home.. tat silly hubby of mine!! Argg... left his keys at his parents's plc. After we reach our blk, when he was trying to reach for his keys, he discovered it!!! Argg!! So he took a cab back home to take keys and take a cab back!! Waste of $.. there i was trapped outside our door, at the void deck, cannot even sit down on the stone table & seats to wait coz the cleaners were washing and in an urgent need to go toilet!!! As if it's not bad enough, hubby took my hp coz his was low bat!!! Argg!!

Finally he came back.. i was so fuming mad but i think he shd hv the grace to feel guilty, so i just told him nt tm, don't empty out his pockets! *sigh*

Had a shower n zzz for a while.. but before i even hv a chance to zzz mum called wif a v angry & pissed tone asked y i say not gng back for dinner anymre... i wanted to tell her coz i pissed lor.. but din, just say friend coming. She HANG MY PHONE!!! Gosh.. Today is really really not my day!!!

Anyway... to cut the whole darn story short, I just say ok, will go ov after friend left.

Stanley came at abt 6.. and from 6 onwards, I keep getting sms fm xiao mei to go over... heck.. i din bother. When Stan and his family left.. (his boy, Javier is really adorable.. wear my bedroom slippers and walk rnd my plc.. haha) we walked over.

Made us hurry and also not in time to start dinner wa! Mum's sister also not here yet. Don't know she kan cheong wat! Win lor..

Anyway, dinner was good... had shark's fins soup, pepper crap and some other dishes bought fm the chi zha stores.. had a good dinner.. and laze in front of google box again..

a good ending to a not so good day i guess... praise the Lord for it though!

Tml is the end of the CNY holidays.. but happy and lucky me, on leave for the rest of this week! haha

CNY

First Day of CNY really give AP till we blur... first stop was to my granny's then after lunch there.. which isn't v good, we took a bus and went all the way to Yishun to hubby's granny's plc.

Thank goodness, we were one of the few who reach early, means that I dont hv to go in and start calling loads of ppl who look foreign to me! SO anyway, this time rnd is hubby's job to give AP.. all the kids look the same to me, hubby give better, coz he has seen them from young. haha

Sat there, feeling bored and then had dinner... finally we were able to go off! Went hm, took a quick shower, rested in front of google box for a while and then out again.. coz we went to watch 'Huo Yuan Jia' at Bishan. Not too bad coz with HSBC card, there is a $1 off every ticket.. but gosh!! When I went to collect my tickets, the queue were so long!! Was kinda afraid that we could'nt get in in time. But tks to rather effecient staff, we manage to make ourselves comfortable before the show starts.

Not too bad lar the show... if nothing to do and too much $ can go and watch lor.. haha..

Hubby quite swt.. he carried a big bag and put in my fav. pillow.. so even during the show, i cld hug it!! hahaha.. 1st time i brought my pillow out wif me. haha.. wonder if my neighbour can smell my ba wu.. hahaha

Day B4 CNY...

This year, CNY is the 1st time we gave AP.. coz married liao mar.. but i tell u, giving AP not v fun.. Give till v luan. haha.. too many ppl, kids, cousins and goodness knows who else!

But all in all, this yr CNY not as hectic as previous years! Coz this yr, my mum decided to not hv CNY at her plc. So it saves me lots of AP and also no need to go n clean up the hse.. but then again, I got to clean up my own hse! haha

Had reunion dinner at PIL's plc this year.. we had steamboat after gng for CNY mass in CTK. Gosh.. ate so much so that we had problems moving. Had sake yu sheng n lots of other kinds of balls.. don't know wat.. just eat.. then settle dw to watch TV.

After that, we just went home to continue snacking and to prepare for the First Day of CNY tml.

Quiet day in office

Last day of work before the CNY holidays come and I am totally moodless to get my butt and hands for that matter to work!

Ever since after the mad hse period, came back on Monday drag my feet to follow up with some of the items and then I am totally moodless to work.

Half day off on Wed and Thurs afternoon... Wed went with Godma and Bro to chinatown to soak in the CNY feeling. So fun and not that crowded. V good. Then yest went home to take a short nap and clean up the place a bit and then to out to meet hubby at Suntec.

The only thing that is abit sian is that since last week, was trying to get a watch coz hubby says he will buy me a watch for my VDay and Bday together lor. Saw the Guess? watch but it's always last piece here and there and the design is rather old liao.. so still thinking to get or not to get. Then yesterday, saw anothe watch fm Swatch. Not bad.. just not my kinda watch. But it is a pretty piece. $ is also v reasonable. So how ar? Still dont know to get which piece.

Anway, back to today, i think I can count the number of ppl who is in with 1 hand. Tat shows alot ya? Everyone is so CNY mood and tat includes me of course!! haha

Just cannot wait for the time to pass faster where I can go home and then to RCIA and then to countdown to CNY eve!

This year will be the 1st time that I am having reunion dinner at PIL's plc... will be bringing yu sheng and a chestnut cake dessert that I manage to discover from Chinatown.

Now the next question is to go for mass tml or on Sunday.

CNY is coming CNY is coming

Boy oh Boy... me feeling the CNY mood.. happy leh!!

And today, I'm on half day PM leave to go to Chinatown to soak up more of the CNY feeling.. haha Will be meeting Godma and Bro for a quick lunch then after that go walk arnd Chinatown liao.

Wonder what can I buy and what to buy?? hahaha.. later go n spend $ shiok!! I love spending $$... but hate the paying of credit card bills part lor.

Hubby today told me to buy him the sugar gummy sweets.. he like a small boy like to eat this kinda stuf.. haha.. ok lar.. to make him happy so that I can get my Guess? watch and maybe Chiang Mai trip... please him lor.. hahaha

ALso this morning, I also very happy lar, besides settling most of the work for this WHOLE week, I called up the Maybank and request for wavier of my annual fees. The lady say ok, as long as from now onwards, i have 24 transactions per year.. THis 1 easy lar.. hahaha..

Repeat and repeat the same thing over and over. Shout and talk shout and talk and say the same thing over and over till I am quite sick of it myself! How on earth can i do this over and over?

I certainly hope the students who are listening to me or the others know and remember what on earth they need to do!!! Gosh... Looking at the way they behave... I certainly pray for the best.

Finally on the way home ...

Woah... today is a rainy day... since last nite rain till tonite still raining.. wah.. n admist all the water, thunder & lighting, my mum is discharged today... made my way there in the rain. Hubby din go coz he went back to office to work.. sucks right! Sunday!!!

By the time i reach there, my youngest sis and my mum's good friend were already there... then another long wait.. nurse say wait for doc and med.. hai... waste of my time... luckily I brought along the German Suduku mag to idle away time.

Sometimes i really cannot stand my mom. Early this morning.. well.. not so early lar.. arnd 10.. called and told me that she can be discharged... I was getting ready to go CTK and then tell me almost a sob story of she being discharged in hospital the previous times and non of the family members come only this good friend come and that now tat we so big she getting discharged we shd go.. sucks lor.. she will only tell me this and not to my other sis. At times like this I really feel that i hate her lor!!! Gosh!! I hv 2 other sisters, granted that the youngest 1 is still too young but I hv a sister in the UNI!!! Argg!!!! Just coz I do not raise my voice and give her a face to c, she sort of like 'bully' me i feel. Hai...

Anyway, she is already at home and resting lar.. hope that no more visits to the hospitals.. but I think no chance lor.. coz her Op still got to be schuduled lor.. sigh...

Went for mass at 5.30 pm and met Kenneth.. sat nt to him.. and he was surprised to me alone lor.. hahahaha...

3rd home in SGH??

Hai... coz of my mum's sudden admittance to SGH, I seemed to be running there like every alternate days?! This kind of visits is really irriating! Esp when u c her lying there and she is ok just that the stopid doc, nurses seems to be taking happiness in keeping there as long as possible and after all the tests n scans n X-rays, there is nothing being said or told to us.

Whenever we asked, we are told to wait!! Goodness.. got to wait how long more? She has already been here for almost a week! And we also decided to not upgrade her bed since the moment we upgrade, we got to pay more right from DAY 1! What for waste the $ on this kinda hospital right? Continue to stay in class C then!

Raining when i went there earlier. She seems ok but on drip.. coz she said since midnight last night din eat anything till 3 pm today? Y? Coz wait for the scans n x-rays!!! Gosh... waited so long and w/o food... no wonder she feel weak! N now got to put on drip. More costs lor.

Lousy Hospital!!!

What a start for 2006!!!

Sucks!!

Been gng to SGH after work, between work and rushing for Mad Hse all the time..

Mum still in SGH. Doc says lump in throat is ok.. mothing serious = not cancerous. Priase Lord. But cavity in lungs n need mre tests.. These few days are tests, tests wait wait.. sian leh..

When on earth can she get out of the darn hospital?!

N meanwhile, me stuck at work coz so many things of mad hse to do! But i finished it liao lar... staying here n writting blog.

Well, today is the 1st day of 2006 and guess where i spent the night? Not in the arms of my hubby as I wld love to, but in SGH!!! =(

Leave it to nature and to God! What better response to give to the priest and a bunch of church friends? hahahaha

We stayed till 3+ and we left.. went to PS for movie. Narnia! Nice show. But abit draggy at times too.. enjoyed the show.

Enjoyed my lunch, my show, my boxing day!!! Satisifed o' me!!!

Merry Christmas!!! Ho! Ho! Ho!

Merry Christmas!!!

Today is Christmas! So fast!

Last nite's carol was great!! They sort of did a slide show and had a speaker read some line.. wow... It was great!!! Hubby says it was Fr. Yim doing the behind the screen reading... and upon closer listening. I think hubby is right! It was fanastic!!!

Today is gonna be a rather bz day for me. Gng to 1 of the forummer's hse. Coz he having his hse warming today in the afternoon. Heng, got sme other forummers come our hse then we can take their car and go to Vic's hse in Sembawang. Wisely & her hubby came, Eve and her hubby also came. Supposed to have Cheryl and her hubby too but last min caught doing something again so they not coming. Instead we all meet at Vic's hse later.

Saved our stomachs for the lunch.. hahaha.. so we din prepare anything for them to eat except drinks lor.

Vic's hse is so big!! Wow.. no wonder it is exec... i like his hall.. got space for cosy corner and his master bed rm.. also big leh... after putting in a King size still got lots of rm!! Spacious!

We din stay long there coz we are expecting my parents and sisters to come ov to our hse for dinner. So on the way back, we went to Yishun to pick up the food that we previously ordered at Cold Storage. Heavy leh!! Never knew that a chicken, a ham, sausagges and 2 bottles of sparkling juice will be so heavy!!! Gosh.. Heng hubby was there. I was prepared to go and pick it up myself!!

Once back, took a quick shower, rest a while and then to work liao. Though the food is cooked, still need to heat it up lar.. coz i dont think my guests appreciate cold food.. On top of that, I also made some potatoe salad and pasta in case the food not enough. Turns out, MORE than enough.

1st time they having dinner at my plc. Was fun.. chit chat and laff at my mother... she so sua ku... hahahahaha.. They brought fruits over so after dinner, we had fruits and i also had almond jelly with longan.. so they had that too.

I thought we cld just stay there for a longer evening and chat lor.. since really no chance to do it... but I also dont know good or bad.. MIL called and say tat her sisters (my now new aunties in law) want to come over to our plc.. when my parents and sisters heard that, they say they leave lor... abit of a bumber lor... sigh...
anyway, they did leave and in an hours time, the aunties came over with their kids and hubby(s) even grandma came! Wow.. surprise.

They quite ok lar... the aunties and uncles sit there and chat.. What i dont like was tat 1 of the kids started jumping on my sofa!!! Sucks!!! Coz they not my side of the relatives, I cannot say anything.. so I just look at hubby lor. He like a block of wood!! Just stand there and din do or say anything!!! I so pissed.. But still hv to maintain the 'gracious' hosts and say nothing!!! Arggg.....

I hope CNY they not coming. Not coz i not hospitable. But coz i simply dont like kids to jump on sofas or beds!! If they behave, it's ok!

And i really wish PIL will stop calling 1 hour in advance and then say the relatives are coming... But then again, maybe this is the 1st year we got married and they've never seen our lovenest so they are all eager to look and c. If's tat's the case, then i wish they will do it to all my BIL! Fair mar. =)

Few mre hours to Christmas! =)

In just a few hours time, Christmas will be here! So exciting!

This is the 1st Christmas that hubby and me are spending as husband and wife. =) We were wondering if we should go out and eat, buy something special home to eat or to cook. In the end, laziness win, we just went downstairs to the coffeeshop, bought a spring chicken to share with some drinks. Simple, no frills and fancy dinner.

Earlier today was a horriable experience. Coz we were lazy, so we delayed gng to Pine Gardens to take the cakes that we had ordered for Godma and Bro. By the time we reach there was like 10 mins to 5pm. So after we gave the order form to the boss, we waited for some1 to come out with our cakes and we can then go.

Horrors.. the wait turned out to be almost 1 hour!!! It was so irriating!!! The shop was cramp, hot and small!!! N on 1 cld tell us y we waited and waited and waited. I wanted to scream and shout and kill some1.. but having the thoughts tat Christmas is rnd the corner, I hold all my thoughts and just wait... and hah! Finally the cakes came out. The boss told us coz 1 of the cakes was short of 1 mini log so they got to bake it then and there. I hope it tastes even nicer lor since it is so fresh! hrmph... =(

Went hm.. bathe and had the spring chicken dinner. Halfway, Godma came to my plc with our christmas presents. hee... she bought us a lovely small fruit cake a nice halter top for me... and u know wat?? She's kinda naughty this year.. she bought me a VS hot pink panty too... hahahahahaha.. shd come in useful if we need sme species in the bed rm.. hahahahahahaha

After dinner, settled dw to watch TV and later will be gng off to midnight mass in church. The moment the mass starts, it will be Christmas!!

Pre Christmas celebrations =)

Today is the last Friday before Christmas. Time flies by so fast and in just a matter of hours, we will be celebrating the "birth" of Christ. Yeah, "birth" coz it is not the actual birthday of Christ, but just a day that the church has placed aside to symobolise it. What a bumper when I firt knew it! All along, I was thinking, wah... Christmas, Birth of Chirst.. But then again guess that my 1 year of Catacheism class has clarifiy it.

Anway, yest in office (after I came back from accompanying my granny to the hospital) there was a Christmas lunch celebration. Kinda early for Christmas coz now I am back at my puter and working away. But no choice lar.. Good lunch! We had, ham, sandwich, char bee hoon, soup, garlic bread and also home baked cake. Sounds like a feast ya?? Well, it is!

Then after the yummylicous lunch, we had a gift exchange. Was fun.. In the end I got an elephant shaped CD pouch and also a box of chocoloates. Not sure if it is tasty though too full from the lunch to eat right away.

And tonite there will be another feasting, coz having dinner at YWCA, this time is the RCIA Christmas dinner. So many of my own class ppl are not gng.. Sian.. but nvm lar, since we paid up we go and enjoy ourselves. Anway it is for fellowship and to just have a good dinner together. =)

tummy not comfy

Just came back from a good lunch at Silzzers (don't know how to spell) as a farewell lunch for Paul since he is joining a MOE school. Either I am suffering from indegestion or the stomach flu is here to pay a visit again.

Tummy is aching, not a lot but just uncomfortable. There is also a dull ache on the left side which at times seem to 'move' to the centre and back to the left.

Done some santarina work today as well. And I got presents too! hahahaaha Quite fun lor but a broke event. There will be another round tml when my current dept celebrates Christmas with a good lunch (again!) and then gift exchange. Peeping at the tree, think there are many many presents and the excitment kinda builds up coz I'm wondering which 1 will be mine tml at this time. =)

And sucks.. tml I hv to go to the hospital with my grandma and aunt for grandma's check up. It's abit out of the way lar.. and I got to take leave. So sian. But I guess not much of a choice also lor.

Here I am sitting, blogging and feeling sleepy. Later there is a mad hse meeting at 3 pm. No 1 will be there to sms me. Think I will sure fall asleep. Chiam liao lor.. How to stay awake?

Shop shop shop.... Shop till i drop

Today is the brand new day of MNG sale.. I want to go too!!! But sucks.. I'm being stuck at work starring at this screen and can only dream of shopping in MNG. I know that there will be throngs of crowd at MNG. But I still wanna go...

Pity, I cannot even go after work later coz we hv the Penitential Services in CTK so no chance to go shopping. Then tml there is RCIA again and there will be even more ppl in MNG so still cannot shop. *Sigh*

I want to shop, to buy things for christmas, to buy clothes and just to spend $ and enjoy myself but cannot coz no time to go and also no $ to spend.

It's so irriating to want to spend and cannot! Here sitting her and just lament about it! And no chance to go and do something about it!!! Argg!!!!!!

Shopping loses it's fun when u got to keep watching ur wallet and expenses and credit cards... sigh... At times like this, i really wish i hv a super rich man!!! How then can get a rich man?? I think in this lifetime no chance liao... coz... me *sigh* already married a not rich man.. and in the eyes of God... there is no backing out lor..

Depresed for not being able to shop
Double depressed for no $ to shop

Grandma's jaw drop.. literally!

Shd I start pressing the panic button coz my grandma's jaw drop and is now in hospital??! I think it's not anything too serious coz her jaws literally drop v often... hai... this comes from being not having enough calcium??

N in the last few years, it happened many times. She's like in and out of the hospital coz of jaws... But I think it is not tat serious coz she will be discharge this afternoon...

I don't know if it is 'pre-arranged' that I am on afternoon leave or what but so happens that she is being dischared and that my auntie called saying that she wants to reach my youngest sis and there is no 1 there to help her coz she is not eng ed... so i volunteered to go with her. Is it the Holy Spirit calling her to call me or what?? My goodness... I don't helieve that she don't have my youngest sis hp no! It is not by concidience that she called me or that I am on half day... (BTW, I am on half day coz I was thinking of gng hm to clean up and then rest and then cook a simple dinner for my friends who are coming ov for dinner tonite)

Just yest, I was talking to a colleague abt how my grandma lost lots of weight and became v frail after falling ill a couple of years back and today the same person that I mentioned needs help.

God really has a strange way of working and moving things. I was wondering if I shd go n c grandma since I got bonus, is a good time to go n at least take a look at her.. n now.. no need to wonder and think anymore.

I really don't believe that this is a concidience that all these happened of all days today.. Though it sort of changed my plans that I had... I guess this is what God want me to spend my half day.... so I just follow lor... I'm sure that the call was placed to me for a reason and that by saying 'Yes' is the right thing to do and not just say '小妹去了学校' and hang up.

IwanttogoHongKong!IwanttogoHongKong!!IwanttogoHongKong!!!

I want to go Hong Kong!!!!

Enough said right??!!! I desprately need a holiday and where else better to go than HK with the newly open Disney Land???

But now is mad hse period cannot take leave (anyway, I have no leave to take anyway) so no choice.. got to slog..

I want to go shopping and eat and c all the new things n nuah there leh!!! Arggg...

Bady Mood!!!

Last night, hubby made me upset. And coz we did not resolve it before we both went to bed, guess it explains the bad mood today! The "badness" of my mood just seem to spil over lor.

So many things happened but no mood to write! Argg...

I won't say yest was a cold day, I will say it is a cloudy day n hubby got to sneeze n sneeze, granted it was rather cold in the church but he din really sneeze then.. when we were outside.. dusty??? NO!!! We were in the shopping malls! Aiyoh.. cannot stand it!

Then in the shops... he made so ngiow remarks abt the presents that we are getting... aiyoh.. v v irriated.. i was trying to keep it under ctrl and not to loose my temper!

Then at hm, he was busy setting up the clothes hanger that we got while i went to keep the food n items that we bought. After doing all these, I went to bathe n hubby was vaccumming the floor. Good that he was helping.

Then after bathing he was just sitting on the sofa while i was folding clothes n the plastic bags.. but gosh!! He nv even raise a hand to help till i told him to. N meanwhile sneeze n sneeze again. I told him if cold wear a shirt n he told me he's hot!

GOsh... and his reaction was like 10 seconds delay?!! WhateverI said got to say twice before he heard me... I feel like a parrot or an answering machine!

Argg... worse.. when i want to talk he say he sleepy 1 2 sleep!!! Gosh.. is this how our communication is gng to be like!?!!?

all major blessings done!

Whew... had my hse blessed by Fr Yim last Sat.. yar yar.... LAST Sat and I'm only blogging it now... Abit late right. Yes, yes I know.. but for the whole week I was trying to get into the mood of blogging after so long.. so finally, after a long break, I manage to get my fingers on the move again. =)

We invited a few friends over + our Godparents, Brother Daniel, his family and even my PIL came. My PIL actually gave us a bit of a shock earlier prior to the hse blessing. FIL called up and asked us if it's ok if sme other relatives come with them. I agree, it was v swt of him to call and ask but it was still a shock to us coz we already have about 15 ppl in our hse. N with them it will be more than 20! wow...

Anyway, Father came on time, he was like here at about 7.30 pm or close to 8 pm lar... then most ppl were already here so just sit around and wait for my Godma and her family to come over from CTK lor.

PIL came ov at this moment and then FIL kept coming up to me to say take water for them, pour water for them... ok lar. I know I must do that lor.. Just that when he keeps doing it then abit irriated... n I also not v close to them... Don't even know to address them! Can call hubby mar.

FIL brought them to c c here c c there open here n also abit of open there.. i not v upset lar.. but find it rather amusing... think he want to appear tat he has ctrl over me in front of his relatives ba? Coz whenever he comes here, he won't do that, but that day they did.. hahahahahahaha

When Father started the prayers, I think they left the hse and stood outside. Not sure if it's cause too crowded or coz they not comfortable.. but we were too bz to entertain once the prayers start lor..

I was so afraid that there were not enough food for all.. but thank God, just nice.. heng ar.. we order pizza (as usual) then tapow BBQ wings coz like not enough and then i made some potatoe salad and almond jelly longan... my friends say nice.. so means not bad lor.. hahahahhaaha so happy..

Last Sat was the 3 Dec when we have our hse bless... and exactally a yr ago, hubby and me ROM on the same day... v fast. Time really fly by v fast. So fast, 1 year gone. I still remember that evening, when we went for our RCIA class... our dear friends arrange a surprise for us, to help us celebrate our ROM and it so happens that the lesson for that day was on the scarament of marriage.. wow... But a year has pass, good things happen and bad things happen too... the same grp of dear friends.. though we physically see each other the "good feelings" are sort of smeared by some hurts that I have unwittingly given them. Though we have told each other our thoughts, feelings and hurts, the friendship still seemed to be strained. I will do my best to salvage the friendship and my dear friends assured me that all things will start from fresh! =)

Hubby quite sweet.. he gave me a single stalk bouquet for our ROM anniversary (but, of course is me who say no flowers again and again lor.. hai...) but i also learned it.. better than nothing lor.. He drew me a card too.. like children's drawing.. hahahahahaha

Took some shots.. but having problems in the IR of my PC and hp.. when I have the chance will put up lar. =)

Today is already Fri.. v fast, another week gone, 1 mre week closer to Christmas and RCIA night again.. somehow, I no longer have the energy nor am I looking forward to RCIA as much as I used to anymore.. Maybe coz the cats till this moment in time are still v v individual.. sad sia..

Hubby will be missing RICA coz he has dinner with his counterparts fm US. Ever since he change jobs, he has been eating well leh. Tim Sum's, seafood, meals at the revolving restaurant and tonite in CHIJMES.. wow wow...

We more or less have settled into our marriage life but definately there are still some ups and downs and tiff are normal.. but I think it's normal =)

Finally finally... I'm HIDDEN!

Gosh! Guess, I am quite what's that term? "IT idiotic"?? hahahaha.. shame on me man, I was an Engineering student and during the course of my studies did take some modules on puter and IT modules!! hai.. wat a waste of resource to go in and to grad from the course!

But! After trying and finding out and bugging Trina non stop, finally I am hidden from ppl!! And before i go on and on.... I must say that hidden as in not listed on the blogger links or watever u call it.. now Hoorray.... Guess it will stop unwanted readers.. n even hubby won't know what link I hv changed mine too..haha... n why was I so darn scared of ppl reading?? Well... to cut the whole story was coz during 1 high powered meeting, 1 colleague says to find out students who blog and give her the links so that she will go in n read and then "help" the bloggers to write and re-word their entries... hm... with senstitive info in my blog, u can be super sure that I am NOT keen in having her read it! But then again, it was not a huge problem lar.. problme was, I was already getting lazy and stopped blogging for a long long time!

Somehow, was just not in the mood.. anyway... that aside, I am picking it up agian.. slowly but surely I am blogging now!

Chiistmas is rnd the corner and my office has just put up the tree yesterday, it looks pretty cool now, with the red and gold things hanging off the branches, complete with lights. I'm glad they did not have the kind that plays a christmas carol everytime the lights are on! It will be too noisy for our otherwise silent office.

A glass tree is being displayed at my own hm.. we bought it ov the wk end and gosh! U wont believe the price of the tree! It only costs us $29.90SGD complete with the small glass ornaments that hang off the tree and 2 AA batteries. It's really pretty but me and my clusmy fingers broke 1 of it on the same night that we bought it! GOsh!!! Really felt like banging myself then! But hubby was v nice and swt, he just say nvm lor.. n he tease me saying.. the tree was not broken by our kids but by me.. hm... sometimes i really really wonder how he manages to c the funny side of the things.. if we were in reverse situations, hubby wld have been v v badly lashed out by me... hm.... I think I really got to keep my temper in check and learn fm hubby how on earth does he do it!

And ohhhh...... talking abt trees, there's a huge live tree in CTK! I've nv seen or touch a realy live tree and boy was I excited over it! Hahahahahaha.. the tree is so pretty!! N it smells fresh! Smells of pine! (obviously! anyway!)

Heard that it was a donated tree.. wow.... costs more than $800... and the tree when I saw it on Friday nite... wow wow... sparkling with golden balls, ribbons and lights... the ornaments are just nice, not too much but enough to make the tree really pretty. Took some pictures too but sucks the stopid puter can't read my IR.. *sigh* got to wait till I go back to the old office and play with the PC that Teck set up for me to use.. hai..

too lazy to even Blog!!

Don't know y, ever since the fun fair in CTK, I'm just feeling so lazy to blog.. once a few months ago, I would be eagerly waiting for my dear neighbour to turn on his/her labby or wait till I come to office to blog down every single thing.

Guess, it's the life that I am leading to make me become so miserable?? hahahaha.. Don't think hubby will be too happy to hear about it though. Life is really soooo predictable! Morning wake up, freshen up, bathe, prepare bf, make up, sit dw bf wif hubby then go off to work. Then work n work for a few hours a day then after tat go hme... either to PIL or my parents' hm or my own home.. Nothing changes.. hai...

Or it cld also be coz of the high energy level tat was used up during the wedding prep that I find my evenings so boring and useles??

Whatever is the reason, christmas is rnd the corner, better start getting sme festive cheers into my life!!!

tired & confused

Yesterday, we celebrated the annual Feast Day of Christ the King. This year, we had a fun fair for the children along with all the usual fan fair of the various food stalls, the games and also the stage peformances.

Since I don't know when, hubby and I are in the children's fun fair committee.. After weeks of planning and finally 'THE' day was yesterday. We set up the necessary on Sat. So as you can already guess, my Sat and Sun was spent in church. I must say it was for a worthwhile course but gosh... tiring leh!!! Not just tiring, at the end of the day, hubby and I went hm each with a pair of luminious pink hands! Mine was brighter than hubby's coz i kept dipping my hands into the pool of coloured water. Gosh..

Thank Goodness, Yi Yeeng, told me to use lemon to wash off and well, the colouring has gone off a fair bit but my fingernails are still bright pink! I shd have used brown yesterday and I cld have hanna "tatoo" hands man. hahahahahaha

Thought it was fun, but it's just like another event like the OH in my opinion. Something which is to be done once a year and not any more often than that! We were dead tired after it...

Went hm, took a bathe, did soem light hse work and we took a nap. So tired!! Then we were woken up by a phone call and then up we got, hubby was helping me to prepare dinner and also to watch TV at the same time.. But we had a simple dinner, just pasta. N we settled dw to watch Da Vinci Code on TV. Nice show... not that I believed Dan Brown's words but it makes it so much clearer to have a documentray produced and we cld get the facts from there.

Watched abit mre TV and I was so tired that we went off to bed at 10 pm.. and we were dead to the world. So tiring.. gosh..

This morning, hubby had to wake up at 5.40 am.. coz he needs to reach office at 6.45AM!!! Gosh... That's the time i need to wake up! I knew he was awake but I was too tired to even wake up. I continued to slp till it's time for me to wake up... Hubby is swt, he actually told me he loves me before he left the hse =)

This evening, we will be gng to PIL's plc for dinner, haven't seen them for mre than a wk! Last wk we were so bz that we had no tme to go back, today, we made it a pt to go hm for dinner at least pay them a visit. Now tat younger BIL had an op, we also can go n take a look at him.

Smsed him earlier, he says he is ok except that he is in pain. What else right? It's an op!!

I'm sure FIL tonite will have lots of things to tell me, not that I mind just that, sometimes I wish he will not say so much while we are watching TV. But then again, we seldome see him. So besides telling us when he sees us, when else right?

Hm.. somehow after being married, I seem to be mre appreciaitive of the times when my own mum wants to talk to me. Like, I can understand y she say things that she did at that particular time... though at that time I was fumming.. now I seem to be able to accept it better. Guess, after being married, not staying together will help to lessen the impact and truly - absence makes the heart grow fonder...

A few mins before 1 pm, my dad called me... strange that he does not use the home phone to call me but rather, he uses his hp to call me. I wld not have expected anything else. He called to ask me how come his retirement $ is not in the bank yet. Seems like he is hell bent on gng to China.
Hai... how i wish I can just slap him awake and tell him not to go.. but I know I cannot. I wish his acc does not have enough $ for him to take out. At least he has some pocket $ when he grows older.

I don't know y is he so hell bent on gng to China, I know that he is gng with is oldest sister, but hey, they do not have a good reputation, so why is he still taking the chance to go with them. There's so many things that I do not know and do not understand.. but again, I have to have the faith and that God will not let me carry a cross that is too heavy for me. At the moment I don't know what to do with this cross... I don't want to carry it - and I am behaving like a spoil brat, I don't have the energy, the strength & wisdom to carry it - but the Lord will give me just enough to see the whole thing thru!

Another thing is this OH biz.. hai.. been arrowed to do something which is something that I have nv done before... and I have to admit, it is getting scary... but again, as I come to it, it will be resolved coz the Lord will not leave me hanging...

Disappointment...

It was such a disappointment!!! The mega block buster of the year that I was waiting for the whole year long turned out to be such a disappointment!!!! Argg... I can almost cry as hubby & I walked home this morning (12.33am) after the movie!!!!

My gosh.. the movie started off quite ok... with the scene where the old caretaker was at the hse, saw a light and went to the old Riddle hse to take a look and he met Voldemort, Wormtail and the Barty Crouch junior. He died as according to the book as well - the deadly Avada Keda curse. But but Potter is supposed to wake up at his Uncle's hse not at Ron's place!!! Argg... then he is supposed to be fetched to Ron's plc by Mr & Mrs Weasley!!! They had a marvelous time with the Dursleys!! This was gone too. This is the 1st time tat Ron's family met Potter's relatives.. and ALL gone! Argg..

Then it's after a night of good food and laughter that all settled for bed and had to wake up brigt & early so as to go to the worldcup using the portkey.. parts of it was missing! The book also has the part where the ministy of magic was trying to keep the muggle from knowing too much, there was a guy who came up to collect bets, an old muggle whom Authur Weasley had problems with the $.. arggg!!! ALL NOT HERE!!!! =(

The match! oh man.. the match, there's supposed to be great flying by the 2 world cup teams where Krum got the snitch but his team lost, the cheering teams, the leprechuns and the veelas.. all gone!!! The show was just showing Krum and the next moment, end of the match! Then suddenly the noise that created unrest. In the book, all of them were supposed to be sleeping and then the noise was heard! The deatheaters were also playing with the muggles, where they make them float in the air and Harry with his friends were supposed to be lost in the forrest! Not in the ruins of the tentages! There is supposed to be the appearance of the hse elf, Winky which led Hermoine to set up the S.P.E.W! All not here as well!!!

The Kpo Rite Seekter was supposed to cover the story and it's supposed to come out in the daily profet, Molly was in great distress. But nope. The show.. nothing!

Then the appearance of the other 2 magic schools... their entrance is not while Prof Dum is making his speech! They came when the whole sch was supposed to welcome them. But I must admit the appearance of the 2 schools was exactly the way the book descriped it! Nice and magical and wow... impressive! hahahaha

I guess these are small things which the producer think can miss out.. in a way yar lar.. not really impt.. but I feel there are somethings which must be elaborated on! Like the Barty Crouch's son - Junior Barty Crouch, he was sent to Akzaban. How did he come out of it? How come he was prof Moody? How come Senior Barty Crouch was lying in the woods? All these are acutally clues and impt for the understanding of this show! But none was elaborated. Even after being forced to drink the truth potion, JBC was not given the chance to elaborate his escape fm Akzaban! And he was supposed to be performed "the kiss" by the dementers!!! It din happen as well!!! Arggg!!!

And the wands, the wands!! When Voldemort and Harry fought, their wands coz being made fm the same core materials - Phoenix tail, are "brother" wands and will thus, refuse to fight each other, but being forced to fight, 1 wand will repel the other wand, forcing the other wand to reverse it's magic that it had perform and in this case Voldemort's wand was being repel and forced all the killings that he had done to appear in the chrolonigical order. This was mentioned in the show but not much! And I think most of the viewers don't know...

There's so much things missing from the show. But I think it's coz of time. If the show were to go on too long and like the book, then I think I will still be in the movies now..

I feel this show, unless you have read the book, know the story, if not, you don't know what was being left out nor what you have missed.

I'm so disappointed with this show. I feel that there are more things which should have been put in.. the match for 1, the 1st task as to how the other 3 champions battled the dragons, the 2nd task in the water was quite well done and the 3rd... they have also missed out snippets of the 3rd task where Harry and friends were in the maze. Harry came to a spinex.. and hai.. missing fm the show. JBC and his escape fm Akazban, the dementers, Winky the hse elf... even in the book, there's mre being said from the penseive!!!

And the actor who play prof Dum.. hai.... he also another 1... he lacks the former actor kind of authority.. He has neither the quiet authorative and kindly prof that Harry has taken a respect for... So unsuitable for this guy to be the prof Dum!!!!!

All in all, the show is watch for effects... and if you have not read the book, *sigh* don't think you can catch what is the show doing... missed out too many details.. and after the show will be like.. huh? Y this, Y that...

Soooooo disappointed! =(

Harry... Potter

Tonite.. we are gng to catch Harry Potter... after such a long wait, finally the show is out!! Gosh.. can't wait.. but the show is at 9.50 pm. So late!!

I just want to watch now!!! Argg.. another hour before it's time to go hm..

Busy evenings

I thought that after the wedding, our evenings will be so much quieter and not so many things being lined up.

This week is another one of those whole week busy kinda week. Last evening was the only time where hubby and I are free and lazing at home! But, we din laze too much also. The moment I reached home after gng to Prime supermarket to get some veg for dinner, immediately started preparing dinner. All the way till hubby came back, then we settle down and after dinner, coz I forgot to order a Bday cake for EM, so we went downstairs. By the time, we had our bathes, it was already 10 mins to 10pm! Gosh... where did all the time go to??

This evening, hubby is hositing the monthly prayer meeting for the RCIA at our hse. So again, I got to dash back, cook dinner (tonite will be pasta in mushroom sauce, potatoe salad and soup from yesterday). Goodness knows what time the meeting will end but I think it should be around 10pm as well. Since it is just pasta, maybe I can go hm vaccumm the floor and then do dinner... Hopefully hubby can go off on time, if not by the time he reach home will be 8pm, how to be ready for the meeting? When it starts at 8pm as well?

Tml, is thank God, we are gng back to my parents' hse for dinner! And yippee... tml night, we are gng for the Harry Potter movie.. it is a sneak preview.. so I am really excited abt tml night!!

Thurs night, my colleagues will be having dinner at my place. To make things simple, it will be pasta in tomatoe sauce and potatoe salad with green salad as well.. We also will be celebrating EM's bday, that's when the cake we ordered last night will come in. =)

Friday, as usual is RCIA night.

Sat, is props set up day, got to reach CTK by 3pm and do all the set up for the feast day on Sunday. So there goes my Saturday.

Sunday, CTK Feast Day!! Got to be in church by 7.30am.... till it ends which will be 3.30pm (officially closes) But with the cleaning up and goodness knows what.. Gosh... think it is gonna be a tiring Sunday.

Hubby says Sunday nite, we go back to PIL plc for dinner, I think it is good coz I no need to cook, but after such a long day, cannot laze at home, not so good. Furthermore, that very evening, channel 5 is screening Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets! While another channel is showing "Da Vinci Code" so which should I be watching??!! =S I think most likely will be Da Vinci coz, we have the VCD for Harry Potter, does not matter if we miss the 1 on TV, anyway the 1 on TV has way too much commercials! If we are at PIL's plc, we cannot choose and FIL likes to chat while the TV is on... then I cannot watch!!!

Soo there you are.. with all the busy evenings and shows to catch on Sunday evening... busy busy busy isn't it?

Feeling fat!!!

Last nite after a whole week, we went back to my mother's plc for dinner. I think even though my sisters and mum din say it out loud. I think they kinda missed me.. hahahahahahaha

Coz the moment I went back, the hse is "full of life" the hse "woken" fm it's slumber. Think yest was the noiesiest time in the full week! hahahaha

Well, hubby and me sat down to a good dinner of curry chicken and my fav corn soup! I like corn soup. Tasty! Yum! Yum! Must learn how to cook it so next time, I can cook it for myself. Just that I think it takes some time to cook this soup, if not, I can make it in the evenings when I come home lor.

Once we sat down, my fats spill over and my mother wasted no time in telling me that I have grown fat.. hai... even my youngest sister says the same. But then agian, since when do they ever say that I have lost weight?

Nvm lar, now that the wedding is over, put on weight also not as horriable as it used to be then! hahahahaha

Ok.. gtg, go hm cook dinner for hubby.. tonite's menu will be stir fry chicken wings, nuggets, light soya sauce veg and soup. All chicken.. hahahaha.. better than nothing lar.

Tata..

silly old man

Silly old man trusts his evil sister so. So much so that he ignores the rest of all voices who speaks up.

And where does this sister brings him to? To china for biz.. and wat biz.. metal biz. Lying to him that her youngest daughter and son in law will work with him to do to biz, but little known to him that they are getting divorced..

Just when he is retiring this "perfect" biz opportunity comes up and with a magic wave of hands, tells the silly old man these:"all the things and prepartion are done, all you need to do is come wif ur retirment $ and we can be the best of partners."

Silly old man believes them, quits his job, leaves his family and off to China he flew. Ignoring the cries and advices of all who cares.

Pity for the family who fears what lies ahead.. but things will work out to God's divine plan. God's divine plans.

And who is this silly old man? "Pa pa" is his name to me. =(

Reflections...

Today is the 2nd day back at work. Surprisingly, it was not as bad as I thought it will be. Coz, I din have that much of work to do. Just lots of mails to clear and now is to follow up with some pending work which I got to settle and see to.

Next big event will be the annual OH. I kind of dreading it but that is the biggest event of my work so cannot siam 1 lar. It is by sheer luck and God's grace that I manage to get the pox during the Oct season. If not, I will be so darn tired!

Just now, I was reading Trina's blog and came across this line that she mentioned... "Sometimes just cooking for the one u love makes u happy esp when you see him eating happily". To me, in the short space of a 2-3 weeks, I have sort of experience this "happiness" hahahahaha.... not that I am a good cook, I just choose to cook the simplest of dishes which does not require much skills nor knowledge. Or maybe it helps that my hubby not that fussy when it comes to food (or rather, when it comes to the food that I put on the table, he eats, I used to think that he's picky abt food coz he will complain that our mothers' cooking not nice.) So kinda surprise that so far, not much complains from him abt the food that I cook. Most of the time, he says the dishes are not bad... wow.. I'm so proud of myself! hahahaha

And to "share" my culinary skills with others, this Sat, some friends are coming to my plc for potluck. I'm gonna make potatoe salad.. hahahaha.. taught to me by Carmen.. So easy, so effortless and I think nice. Finally manage to get the bacon bits.. so with it, I'm sure it will be finger licking... oppss.. should be spoon licking good! hahahahaha

Was talking to Cec earlier today and she was sharing bf woes. That her man seems v frightened of the big "C" - "Commitment" and that she's kinda lost as to what to do. I am not sure what to tell her except to not push and rush him. But then again, with a man who is afraid of commitment, can there be a future to look forward to? Shall I wake her up or just continue to be there as a supportive role and be a gal friend? I'm not sure. Coz I do not have such a bf in my life... or rather, my hubby was nv such a bf. N i did not give the previous guys enough time to prove to me if ther are the committed kind..

Come to think of it now, the guy says he is afraid of monotonous life.. therefore afraid of settling down. Maybe, it's not right to treat every re-ship as though will definately marry the guy.. but if the guy says it straight even after a 3 yr re-ship.. maybe it is time to give it more thought?

She seems to be rather troubled over this not too committed guy... if I were in the same shoes, I guess I will be too? But she made the choice to be with him. At the moment, she sees only him and no 1 else. Though, I suspect there isn't anyone who catches her eyes anyway. Hahahaha

I guess the best I can do is just to be there and listen to her if she needs to.. and keeping her in my prayers.. besides these little things, I don't think there is much I can do?

And just as much as Cec is sharing bf woes, a colleague is sharing bf happiness! What a contrast. Over lunch yest, she was sharing that she met a wonderful guy. Fm the way she talks, Yep, DEFINATELY a wondeful guy... not just wonderful guy. Sounds hunky also. N when I saw the photo... wow! Looks hunky as well. Though they have just started, but wow wow wow... they hv plans for the future!

Really a huge contrast when I sit down now and think things thru! And when I compare my hubby to these 2 men, he is neither... God is really powerful. He creates each of us so differently yet well suited for each other. I cld nv be suitable with the commitment frightened guy, did I mention that he guards his freedom with a capital G?? Both of us will just grow apart! Neither can I be with the hunk, I will be too self conscious of my lack of "belle". All in all, my hubby is still the most suitable for me... He's so patient, giving in to me most of the time, taking in my nonscense and most of all, he loves me mre than I love him! He thinks of me and my happiness 1st (most of the time) always. He will be there when I need him, console me when I am down and now... w/o me saying, he knows too! Guess, this comes from being dating for 7++ years and then of course, being the "chosen half" from divine powers...

Back to work tml...

After such a long long break, finally tml is back to work. Do I sound excited that I'm gng back? Well, yes and no, I guess. After such a long time of lazing arnd and doing nothing, now to go back to work is quite of a 'refreshing' change. But think of gng back to work, also v sian.. Coz I know that now is the time for slogging and to prepare n prepare for the OH!!

Really thank God that i have a good boss, during my 2 wks of pox days, they covered my work w/o complains... But even if they complain also no use lar.. I down wif pox, really cannot go out mar... then after my pox, straight away honeymoon... heng this period is all the events finished liao if not cannot go for honeymoon in peace.. hahahaha

But now... I am nuanning at home... last day for this long long period liao. Tml is back to work. Got to plan plan how to go about doing the morning bit.. Coz I take a long time, n now need to prepare hubby's bf as well, got to fast leg fast hand liao.. If not sure v v late. Sme mre now hubby changed job go to work later also. So means that the bf time all push back.. really got to fast fast fast!!!

But the heng part is hubby come hm late, then plus his long travel distance, still allow me to come hm n prepare him dinner. I'm quite proud of myself lar.. can make him sastisfactory meals. Ov the weekend when we went back to my parents' hm, my mum commented tat he put on weight... So i tease him n say that my food nice so he eats alot.. hahahahaha

Back in SG!!

Whew... after a wk, I'm back in SG!!! Home sweet home!!! Actually was back last nite. But after packing up, putting away and sorting away the things, vaccumm the floor, change bedsheets, wash the sofa cushions, was simply too tired to blog anymore.. So today then blog..

BKK is a hot hot hot plc. Rather like SG i say, though it's dustier, dirtier, not as organised but the things there are cheaper. I won't say v much cheaper than SG. Rather, sme things are cheaper in BKK than in SG. Lingerie by my fav brand, wacoal is definately cheaper!! I bought so many there, a total of 11 bras n 4 panties, costs me less than $200 SDG!!! Where to get for this kind of price in SG?? Bought a couple of T-shirts as well, not v cheap lar... abt $9 each... SG also can get lor.. at pasar malam. But since I am there, so bought a few to "yi si yi si" come back.. hahahaha.. Of course also bought sme things back to distribute to friends n family.. but haven't got rnd to doing it yet.. slowly lar.. too tired to move.

For our 6D5N there, we spent a total of $600 SDG in cash, then also swipe card a fair bit, think we spent close to $1K there... n plus the travel agency... think close to $1.8K in total for the whole trip.. wah lau.. where got cheap?? Expensive leh.

Then the whole of today is spent in CTK, coz we got to do our props for the fun fair on 20 Nov... tiring leh.. haven't had a good slp n early morning got to go CTK liao. Thank God, at least all the props are done, NO need to go back next Sat to continue. Anyway, nt Sat I also not free, my forum friends are coming to my plc for dinner. We completed making all the props at abt 3.30 pm and a bright spark of Godma brought us to Helen's shop in AMK (free ride from Paul) for a haircut... we cut our hair so short that by the time hubby and me got back to CTK for evening mass, ppl who saw us got a shock coz in the morning, we had long hair, in the absence of 2 hours... we changed our hairstyle so totally!! hahahaha But i like my new hairstyle... cool n light!!

N the best part is, tml NO BOW as well!!! Yippee... means we can slp till we naturally wake up... hahahahaha

Hubby is putting all the clothes (that we wore in BKK) into the washer. I must say I hv a good hubby man.... he does the laundry w/o complains!!! I simple hate to wash clothes!

Tml is parents' visiting day.. haven't gone hm for abt 2 wks.. coz of my pox n honeymoon, tml, will be gng back to my parents' hse for lunch, will bring them the things that we bought for them in BKK n then off to PIL's hse for dinner, and same will happen lor, bring them the things that we bought for them. Heng... at least tml no need to go CTK.. n we no need to bring the things walk rnd.

Gng BKK!!! =)

Finally, finally the long long wait is over, we ARE gng to BKK tonite!!!

I'm getting excited.. =) first trip overseas as hubby's wife n first trip to BKK n also first tm take aeroplane leh.. so mountain turtle..

More or less finished packing, the rest of the things need me to bathe finish then can put inside suitcase... I still need to prepare dinner for us both before we can clean n close up the hse.. getting excited leh.. kekekekekeke

But the damper is that since I just recovered fm pox, so alot of things cannot eat lor... sian.. Looking forward to feasting 1.. but now cannot... so can only go n shop n rest n relax..

Now thinking if we brought enough baht to go there, if not enough then hee.. we brought along cards too.. can sign lor.. but spend so much... =( come back c the bill v sad. hahahaha best is can swipe n swipe n no need pay the bills!

Stupid!!!!

Went to RCIA... and no doupts my friends meant well, they all insists that I am not fully recovered yet. Like that how am I gng to go BKK on Sunday??

Also, the agency told us, our tickets are still not ready for collection as yet! So slow... but then again... coz I have not fully recovered, if the agency did not manage to give us the tickets, thenmayb we don't have to waste the $700++ that we paid??

My hope is like this.... not to waste the $$ that we paid... not a lot but still....

N tat silly father of mine, want to draw out the CPF $$ n go china wif the big woman's children!!! Of all ppl, go with them to China to "work"?? After the lesson, real live experience of 7th aunt, he not clever enough to c thru them??

Gosh!!! I'm so angry & worried right now!!!

It's Friday!!!

Yipee.. today is Friday... =( but the last day of my MC liao leh... sian..

I have decided that later, i will go to J8 to change the baht currency and then buy somethings that we need for the trip and then go for mass and then for RCIA.

Finally, finally I can step out of my blessed hse.. hai.. waited so long! But kind of sian now coz last day of MC, won't have this kind of chance where I can laze at home for 2 whole weeks to enjoy.

Come Sunday, we are gng to BKK for honeymoon, but this 1 also sian.. coz go there, so many things I cannot eat!! Argggg!!! Then the week after that, come back got to go back office to slog.. hai... so sian.. the thought of it bores me liao.

Tonite, there seems to be some meeting that we need to meet up with the groups for our fun fair during CKT Feast Day on 20 Nov... So before I even slog at work, work for church 1st... but this 1 is not really work... this 1 is fun.. hahahahaha

Feeling good!!!

Woah.... I called the doc earlier today.. and good news!! She told me as long as my pox all dried up then I am considered as recovered fm the blessed pox!!! Yipee.... All my pox dried up.. but the scabs still there.. not all drop.. sian... But well, better than nothing lor..

Went to PIL's plc for dinner, been a long time since we went there for dinner. The feeling to be able to eat a decent meal feels so good!!! But the feeling to be able to step out of the hse to go out is the best!!!

In the afternoon, I went back to my parent's plc to pick up something n then showed them the AD photos.. Mum din say much just look and told me to develope some shots.. Then I just sat in the kitchen n talked to her while she prepares dinner. I realise, it's been a long time since I last did that. Kind of miss her.. hahahahaha.. But the thing is during n before the wedding, I certainly did not miss her at all!!

Dinner at in law's plc is good.. had fish n veg.. I've been dying for GREEN veg... n good! MIL cooked it... i really enjoyed dinner... must be coz i've been deprived for so long! While we were eating dinner, they were looking thru the photos... After dinner, I sat down wif them and we were looking thru it while they told me which pc they want.

I really enjoy talking to them... either I am hungry for human conservations or I am too bored or I really just enjoy it... hahahahaha...

Hm... In a way, PIL are quite warm ppl.. I used to find FIL v luo suo.. but after wedding... mayb now coz i'm 50% family.. so I no choice.. got to treat them better? All these while, I do like talking to FIL just that he likes to talk while there are interesting programmes on TV. hahaha.. I feel the family warmth when I go there.. in fact more than my own family..

I only pray and hope that this kind fo relationship will not change! And if there are changes, change for the better!!! =)

How then considered as RECOVERED?!!!

Arggg....

I'm getting so confused!! One tells me that I have recovered, another tells me not! So have I recovered from the blessed chicken POX???!!!

I'm not just getting bored being cooped up at home, I am also worried about my BKK trip this Sunday!!!! If haven't recovered how am I gng to go there?!!!

Further more, I also need to go n get things for the trip. Argggggg!!!!!!!

Was supposed to go to PIL's plc for dinner tonite.. then my mother says I have not recovered, I am NOT supposed to go anywhere!!! How???

I need to be fully, yes, FULLY recovered by Sun so I can take the plane to go BKK!!!!!!!!!

Sian!!!

Wondering what to do for dinner tonite... I seem to have finished all the simple dishes things that I know how to make or rather whipped up.

Left with some pork & fish in the fridge... had fish yesterday and don't feel like having it again..

Don't know what to make, now then I realised planning what to make for dinner is so headache!! hai...

Last nite, had a small tiff wif hubby... not the 1st neither will it be the last lor... the tiff last nite was abt him refusing to go n get things for the hse... hai... I wanted him to get bread, milk n sme other things for me coz me still down with pox din want to go out though I desprately want to go n get some air.... in the end coz he refuse to go... i went lor...

The moment my mother saw me in the bakery shop.. she was stunned coz she said i haven't receover cannot go out.. but hai.. it's so boring being locked up at home with only the TV, radio, books n PC for company leh..

Later at nite, as we settled to go to bed, hubby told me, he wanted to go n get the things but I was faster so he din go.. n he said he wanted to go with me since I had expressed interest in gng out since Sun but at the last moment I always change my mind, he was upset so he just decided to stay at home till after 10 to go n get the stuff..

All in all... everything is ok now.. but I got to admit i was still abit pissed at him this morning, so i din really put in heart n soul n effort in getting him to wake up nor bf this morning... an eye for an eye mar.. but I know this is not the way lar.. after all, it is such a small problem.. wrong, not a problem, but "Issue".

So must make up to him tonite lor.. go n make sme nice dinner for him.. hahahahaha

Monday Nite

So fast, is the end of today liao...

Just now cooked dinner.. I think quite successful leh.. hubby came hm just before 7 pm and I have all the things ready. He came to the kitchen and he commented, wah, smells v nice. I so happy to hear it!!

But the most impt is for him to try lar.. he tried and he say nice. Good good!! I'm feeling so happy, accompolished and proud of myself! Hahahahaa.. looks like the items that we bought are not wasted after all.

I was abit concerned that the pots, the oven toaster that we bought will be white elephants.. But all came to good use during this period coz i'm hse bound. At least the toaster is not just for me to toast bread.. hahahaha

I can actually use it to bake!! So happy...

These few days really gave me encouragment and motivation to make mre nice things for hubby to eat... coz he say my things can pass... makes me feel mre and mre to want to cook for him.. gosh... am I begining to be a "huang nian po"?? Or is this a normal for a woman to want to cook for her man? Hm...

Monday...

It's Monday today.. though I am still on MC and will continue to be till this Friday... I'm begining to feel sian le.. not coz I am stuck at home.. But coz when I think that my MC is coming to and end and I have to go back to work... hai... sian liao lor..

I think I am too lazy for words!! R&R at home for so long, and this Sunday gng for honeymoon. Which means I won't even go back to office for another 2 weeks and here I am worrying about gng back to work?! I got to be out of my mind!!

I can't believe this, I am 'resting' at home and I can still suffer from Monday Blues.. Gosh!!!

Hubby started work at his new co today but today is still training at Boon Lay.. darn far... I wonder how's his training coming.. will ask him tonite when we hv our dinner together =)

I think the most productive thing I ever do for the whole MC period is to prepare his breakfast & his dinner... I think for a short time, still quite ok and enjoyable to a certain extent. If I got to do this for life, stay home the whole day and do nothing, I will be bored to death! But of course if I am tai tai, can enjoy life, then staying at home also not a bad idea lor.. Now is, I am hse bound, no $ so definately NOT a tai tai so life not enjoyable.. hahahahaha..

hai.. almost time for me to go n prepare his dinner le.. got to marrinate the meat n prepare the things 1st..

Good dinner!!

Wah!!! I think I am not such a hopless cook after all.. hahahahahahaha.. Though I cannot cook a fanastic meal, but hubby say nice... so happy leh.. hahahaha

Coz hubby bought the wrong kind of pasta sauce back, I was so worried that I can't make a decent meal out of it... but whew.... luckily hubby say nice!

These last few days that I MC at home, I have cooked more times than I can ever imagine in my entire life! I can now made porridge, steam fish, boil carrot with potatoe soup, pasta, cook rice etc... all these sounds v simple, I know. In fact, it IS simple. But to me, I think it is an improvment coz from nothing of cooking, I can at least feed hubby with a full meal.. so I am quite proud of myself lor.. =P

Tomorrow, I'm gonna make baked chicken and potatoe salad for dinner for us both. Not sure if it's gonna be enough... but I think I may make 1 more dish. A small piece of chicken and potatoe salad for us both don't seem enough for us both =S

Today, our AD photographer gave us back our photos together with the album and the CD's with all our photos.. some of the photos quite swt and do capture "the" moment i feel. =)
Here's sme photos for viewing pleasure... these are some of my favourite. =)

sad sad sad

Hai.. the big black scar that I have been trying so hard to not touch and to let it come off by itself, peeled off while I was changing my clothes!!!

Argg... it hurts when the mark came off... I dare not touch all those marks on my face coz I've already peeled it a couple of times coz I din know it was pox. I really thought it was pimple so I went to squeeze n peel.. Now.. the whole thing came off!!! It still hurts... =(

Hubby has gone to get sme ingredients for dinner... We'll be making pasta. We wanted to go out and get it together.. But just as I was getting ready to take my bath, I tored the thing. Now no mood to go n get anything, coz I din want any1 to c my big scar... n I'm also afraid of gng out n the dust settle on the open wound and make it worse..

Hai.. just as we agree that today we will go out... this thing happen... Maybe, it is just as well coz I wont be able to go out and infect others then.. hai... =(

Yummy yummy!!!

Wah... after so long, finally can eat CHICKEN!!! hahahahaha.. actually the doc did tell me can eat chicken lar, but my mum say CANNOT eat.. n when she does marketing for me, she din buy chicken so cannot eat lor.. hai.. just as well lar..

My mother today so swt.. she stir fry chicken with giner in wine, fry sme veg & made my fav soup - Corn soup then call us and ask hubby to walk over to bring the dishes over for our meals. So all I need to do is just cook rice and we can have our meals. She gave us enough for lunch and dinner!! At first, she say enough for us for our dinner tonite.. But when I look at it, i think enough for us both for lunch and maybe dinner. Then hubby says he want to go back hm for dinner coz have not been hm to c c PIL.. So just nice, we ate lunch together and I saved sme of the food for dinner. Just nice =)

Now, I'm alone at home again.. not complaing coz I hv the PC all to myself and no 1 to disturb me.. hahahahahaha.. It's good that hubby goes hm to hv dinner and spend sme time with PIL... coz this yr, his bday, we din go back... BIL sms him n ask y no go back.. quite ashamed also.. hee..

Actually, I quite enjoy gng to PIL's hse for dinner, for 1 thing, I no need cook, another thing, I don't need to wash up. Lastly, FIL will have lots of things to chat with me =) He called me yesterday afternoon to ask me how I am also, this FIL of mine is I must say sweet!

Went thru the net to try to find something which is easy for me to manage and to feed hubby come tml or Monday... feeding him is not tough.. coz he is not that fussy a eater.. But to provide him with variety (this is me, not him) is proving rather hard.. coz I can only manage that few things... hai.. must buck up more to make him some nice food. =)

I'm begining to understand what Godma meant when U c ur family eating & enjoying the food that is prepared for them... though I can't really say hubby "enjoying" the food... but at least I am trying.. n hopefully, I should be able to provide him with better tasting food in future lor... hahahahahaha =P

scars!!!

Since yesterday my pox seems to be drying up and some of the scars have already fallen off.

I have taken on this unfortunate habbit of peeling off the dark n hard marks left behind by the poxes. I still quite vain so I did not touch those that's on my body nor on my face. It's those on my scalp that I am peeling off.

I cannot stand it esp when i run my fingers thru my hair, I find all those dried up things on my head... i've started to peel it off.. there are sme which are big n painful but I still peel.. itchy fingers tat's y!! I just hope, i do not make the situation worse by making it get infectious... The vain me told myself tat I must stop.. but the scars are making me irriated n itchy as well... argg...

Hubby told me those that are easy to come off probably wont leave much scarring but those big, black ones, he told me to leave it alone coz it may bleed... But my itchy hands... I think I hv just peel off ALL!!! I know i'm gng to hv an ugly scalp after this but I still cannot help myself from peeling... =(

This evening, out of a sudden, hubby called to say that he will come home for dinner. This gave me a shock coz I was not prepared to cook dinner for him. Thinking that he will go to the coffee shop near CTK to hv his dinner.. Hai.. so out of the blue, I got to cook him something.. Thank God, last nite, Trina thought me a simple dish. Toufu with minced meat. So I got hubby to go n buy toufu, soya sauce, seasme oil and I made him that for dinner. I also tried my hands at steaming fish today.. Not tat bad. I think can pass, but must remember not to steam it for so long the next time. The meat abit hard... Luckily, still hv soup from the last few days.. so heat up the soup, made the toufu minced meat and fried an egg for hubby... Fish is for myself lar coz I got to avoid so many things.. But I did share with hubby lor..

Hubby says ok, can pass.. so not tat bad after all lar.. I thought I will be hopless with cooking, but seems like I can make simple dishes after all... hahahahaha

Next time, I will try to make the mushroom, fishball with chicken soup for him.. as for dishes wise, I will go n find out some more simple, no frills, no fancy dish for him. =)

Sounds like cooking not tat hard after all, coz now, we only use steaming... coz if use fry or anything else, too much oil... lazy to clean mar... must go n learn to do sme more variety. Hubby says now he eat dinner... reason for not finishing the food is not coz not nice, is coz too much.. hahahahahaha.. of course lor.. coz now all the dishes he got to finish by himself, I cannot eat mar... but once I have recover fm this pox, we will be sharing the portion then it will be better lar, he will not have to finish all by himself. =)

Now, what worries me most is the scarring n worse... if hubby catches the pox from me means we cannot go honeymoon already!!! =(

Alone @ home..

Hubby gone off to work the usual time today.. but till now he is not back yet coz after work he went to his new office for orientation.

I think it is good that the new co has orientation at least this will let the new staff feel mre comfortable in the new environment. Last night, he told me, should not be more than 30 mins for the orientation, I told him it will take at least an hour and he don't believe me.. =P In actual fact, it took an hour and a half to complete the orientation! hahahahahaaha

Think he should be on his way home now also think he's on his way to get us some food for tomorrow and the new few days, the dry food all eaten up need to replenish.

Sometimes I wonder if hubby ever feels tat it is better for him to go hm n eat dinner coz of the food tat I "create" really don't seem very appealing... hahahahaha... but then I guess, since he married me, he does not have much of a choice.... he got to learn to eat what I make... hm... no wonder he look so happy last night.. when he told me he will eat dinner out.. hahahahaha

He's back home now! Just stepped in =)

Diaster dinner?? =(

Today was my first time in making a full meal for hubby... hai.. so disappointed.. the egg n pork din turn out the way I expected n for some strange reason, the white rice turnned out to be porrodge!!!

So disappointed... hai.. after so many days of cooking OK rice, today the rice turn to porridge!!! So sad.. hai... I think the food is terriable lar.. fm the look on hubby's face as he ate it.. v sad. I also make soup... this is relatively easy, just cut up the potatoes, carrots & onions,throw it into the pot add water n put to boil together with the chicken breast meat. Tat's it! At least, this one turn out the way it is supposed to be and hubby say not bad. =)

I wanted to make fried egg with onions n pork.. hai.... turns out I seem to just be frying the pork n onions with egg... Next time, I must remember to fry the pork AND onions together before adding the egg!! I think this is still passable...

The worse is the rice! for the last few days, I had no problems with it, but today, the rice turned to porridge! Hubby don't like to eat porridge and I think this is the worse thing. Hai..

I think I getting quite good at making porridge leh.. I hv been having porridge for dinner since last week, no wonder my porridge skills getting better lor... But I AM SICK of eating porridge!!!

What shall I make for dinner??

Hm.. ran out of things to cook my porridge... wondering what can I have for dinner... I'm getting so sick of eating pork, pork & mre pork!! I want to eat sme veg!!!

Have sms hubby to ask him to buy potatoes and carrots when he comes back fm work later. I was thinking I can use these 2 veg for my porridge and I can use the potatoe to make a salad for hubby. Add on a soup (instant kind lar) + a tuna sandwich, think that should be able to satsify his stomach?? Anyway, I at times only take a tuna sandwich in office during lunch when I don't feel like eating too heavy... I don't think the sandwich alone is enough for hubby but add on to a potatoe salad n soup.. shd be ok ba...

Anyway, there are still bread, biscuits n milk at home shd he feel hungry later at night... most importantly, coffee shop is just downstairs, he can go n get something easily too!

Ok! Settled! Potatoe & Carrot porridge for myself while Potatoe salad, Tuna sandwich & Mushroom soup for hubby tonite. At least is something different from the rice n hotdog everyday lar.

4th day into poxy..

Monday! For the longest time ever, this is the 1st time that I do not have Monday Blues =) Y? Coz I'm still on MC!! hahahahahah... fm the pox pox... hai... actually I think it's not so bad coz I think the pox-es are done growing, so now, they are either turning into bubbles or if not into pus... hubby says the condition has worsen coz of the pus... but I am not sure. Coz my in-laws came ov to our hse last nite. (They are so swt!! MIL actually cook porridge and bring over for us for dinner!)

On seeing me, she only says, hm... shd be recovering and reminded me not to scratch it and she says I do not seem to have as many pox as hubby when he got it. She did not mention abt the pus so I guess, it's normal... They stayed quite a while here so we just chat n watch TV while they do the OTO massage... They seemed surprised that we have this machine... hm.....

Anyway, my mother came over this morning, bringing with her, the water chestnut n sugar cane for me to make "liang teh" I seem to be drowing myself in "liang teh" n "coconut" drinks. I usually boil 1 big pot of the "liang teh" everyday and eat 2 coconut in a day!! My goodness... think the chicky pox is really a "heaty" affair coz i need soooo much "cooling" food!! But I do enjoy eating the coconut.. cold n nice! Yummy yummy!!

Towards the afternoon, colleagues start calling up to ask me abt work, I'm not surprised and neither am I irriated abt it. If they don't call, I will be worried! Coz I'm leaving behind 2 solid weeks of programmes which starts tomorrow for them to handle whille all these while, I have been doing everything. If no one calls me, i will think that either my role at work is can be dealt away with or they are v v good, which also brings back to the issue that I can be dealt away with! So overall, I am v v happy that they called and need my inputs here and there! kekekeke.. guess.. I am still abit important? ;P

These few days at home has settled into a sort of routine in a way... morning wake up, prepare hubby's bf (yar, even though i am dw wif pox!! Good wifey huh? hahahaha) then will sit wif him as he eats n the he goes off, while I will go back to bed n snooze for a while mre coz most of the time I have problems sleeping at nite.. I hope it was because for the last few nights the pox were really really giving me problems. (There was 1 night, I woke up at 2 am and can't slp till 10+pm the next day!!)

I will wake up later in the morning then eat my bf and just laze arnd the hse n do sme light cleaning... dun want to do anything too much coz afraid that I may burst the pox by accident, so will just watch TV, read books n generally laze. Can't even surf net in the afternoon coz we have yet to apply for our access and we can do so now is coz we tap others'... =P

By evening, after hubby comes hm will also be time to prepare simple dinner, dinner for me is just porridge... think I am getting the hang of making porridge.. the way I like it! The thick, gluey kind... hahahahaha.. dinner for hubby is just rice.. n he will buy sme dishes fm food stores n eat.. though for the last 2 days, he is living on hotdogs... must get him to change.. too much sodium those hotdogs.

Kind of loose track which day is which, today feels like a week end except that no hubby arnd with me... N i spend the time same as the way I spend the wk ends. Kind of getting bored with life liao.. but still no choice coz the pox are there and I am contagious, I simply CANNOT go anywhere!! =(

My MC will be till 28 Oct, that will be the day where I can officially step out of the house and am not contagious anymore... but then again, how is any1 gng to define if I am still contagious?! hm.... anyway... my MC ends on 28 Oct and I leaving SG on 30 Oct.. I really cannot wait for the MC to end.. hai..
