A meal prepared by...

Today, I don't have to rush home to prepare dinner.. Y? U may ask.. Well, coz hubby was tooo lazy to go to work, so he is gng to call in sick and thus, he promised me that he will get dinner ready for us by the time I get home from work. Sweet Hubby! =)

So early this morning, I woke up and prepare the soup and just left it in the slow cooker. And since my usual practise is to marinate the meat the moment I get home from market, hubby just need to cook it.

And since, he has never cook a meal by himself, I just told him how and what to do and the rest he did it himself. To make matters simpler, we had steam chicken with garlic, boiled vegetables, soup and rice.

Steaming chicken is easy, just put all the garlic over it and put into the rice pot while the rice is being cooked. Veg just boil. So hubby was very happy that he manage to cook me a meal.

I'm also happy that I finally get to eat a meal "prepared" by Hubby.

吃在嘴里，甜在心里！ =)

Wld have been better if he had also clean up everything including washing up and wipping the table.. ha! But no such luck. So instead of him washing up, I washed up. Which means it is fair and square for both parties! =)

Well done, hubby. Nt time, cook more ok?

Happy Mothers' Day!

Mothers' Day.. A day for those sales ppl out there to take $ fm my own pocket to be placed into theirs. Humph!

And since it falls on a Sunday, we still went for our mass at 11.30 am, as usual, the church wld have sme sort of Mothers' Day celebration. Today, we had 2 children reading poems for us all. Not too bad and the mass was celebrated by Fr Peter Koh. He was quite comical and the conversation went like this.

Fr Peter: My dear child, do you think it is tough to be a mother?
Child 1: I don't know...
Child 2: I don't know! Why are you asking me this?
All: *Burst into laughter*
Fr Peter: *searching for something to say*

Well.. not the best answer but then I guess, what would you expect to come out of the mouth of young children right? haha..

After mass, we went for a quick lunch at the nearby coffee shop coz we are coming back to CTK by 1.30 pm coz Godma's mother is getting baptised. =)

After the chinese baptism then hubby and me quickly went to our friend's BB girl full month celebration. And after that, finally dinner with my mum to celebrate mothers' day. We went for dinner at Ding Tai Feng. Food not too bad, their "soup pao" is not too bad. Not as nice as crystal jade though i feel. They were having a promotion and they gave a small cake for those who spent above $80.

Personally it looks like a little mushroom lor. But hey, do you know tat this cake is from "Breadtalk"? The box in which it came in is the unmistakeable "Breadtalk" box, even that silver card tat says "to mum with love, Ding Tai Feng" has the BT below. So, I guess, not bad lor. Got a free cake. Haha..

My mom soooo mountain turtle leh.. she actually made a wish with the cake. I mean, ppl make wishes on Bday cakes.. but hello!! This is Mothers' Day cake.. or does it work with simply ANY cake? Ha!





Mom cutting "mushroom" look alike cake.

Well, she was bugging me for this 'Four Clover Leaf" which is supposed to bring luck amongst other things. But coz this is pure suspersctious, so I did not. She actually made me quite pissed off with her in the afternoon earlier. She called me and then want me to go wif her to BRAS BASAR to get it! I told her can't, busy today and went on and on. Gosh.. finally she decided to go with my youngest sis to get it.

The silly leaf in a pendant + a necklace costs more than $100!! Goodness!! Robbery! I don't see anything special abt that leaf. And I AM SUPPOSED to pay for it! Sigh.

Quite sore over it.. but I don't want to say anything else, so after dinner, she went to my grand's hse. My sisters went home and hubby and me decided to go to NTUC again. We bought some more items and heee... Guess wat we bought as well..


Yep! Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream.

Actually these are our virgin tub.. we have never tasted B&J Ice Cream till now..




and here's hubby taking his FIRST mouthful...

Verdict?? YUMMYLICIOUS!!!

We're going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo.

Woke up early today to go to the market to do my weekly supplies and coz I din want to slog the whole morning myself while hubby snoozes on, I made him get up with me to do marketing too.

This is the 1st time since our married days that he actually wake up early to go to the market with me. Ha! And his face not very happy but nvm. haha

Did a quick round, the usual chicken, meat and veg, showed hubby which are the stalls that I get my supplies from then rush to Ang Mo to get our weekly fresh milk and off we went home.

Once home, after I kept all the items and marinated the meat for the next cooking, we quickly set to work on the food for the pinic that we are bringing to the Zoo later on.

Together, we made egg mayo sandwich, ham sandwich and also have a garden salad. We also brought along a big bottle of water (ready for refilling fm taps once empy!) Snacks and of course camera! Once ready, we packed all in and bathed and outta of the hse we went. =)

Waited for a long time for 138 though.. sigh. On the bus, quite crowded, there are some cheena ppl also lor.

Hubby at me at the Singapore Zoo!

Took lots of pics of the animals there. I love the pengquins.. So cute!!
There was even a fella there that will follow hubby's leaflet movement bobbing it's head up, down and left right! So adorable! haha








think this is that little fella





don't this little fur ball here looks cute too?





and it gave me a shock when it suddenly leap onto the railing fm the tree!

And otters!!





















This little guy here was doing it the whole time we were standing there and watching. It was showing us how well it can swim on its back!







Horses! Majestic aren't they?





AND those inconsiderate cheena ppl feeding the goats and other animals in the kids section! Argg!

Loads of pics more but I'm too lazy to post it up. =P

After the Zoo trip, we took the 138 back to AMK and had dinner at S11. Not bad, then after we finished, we noticed that there was a stage set up for some thing.. but we were too early, so we decided to go and walk arnd before heading back to the centre stage to check it out.

Hubby went and bought another pair of shoes. This time round, it was sandals fm Neckerman. Gosh.. He has soooo many pairs of shoes now.. think our current shelves are definately not enough for both of our "collections".

And guess wat's happening at the centre stage?? Hip Hop dance compeition! The winning teams gets to go to LA! Wow.. Not bad eh?







1 of the teams. Din manage to get any more coz the ppl were all staring at me after this shot. =(

The competiton went on for at least 3 hours.. we stood there the entire time! We din wait for the emcee to annouce the results before we head for home. Gosh.. we were dead beat!!

shopping spree

After my outburst earlier, I totally ignored hubby for at least an hour. He made no attempt to talk to me till we were in the sauce section in NTUC. Anyway I din need to talk to him, so we kept silent...

And finally he made the move to apologies and cajole me.. and being married and having gone thru MPC and also after so long, decided to let it go and we made up there and then.

Spent a while in NTUC.. bought tomatoes, ham, sauces and bread for both home and the picnic tml.

Then coz I was looking at a LAVENDER dress suitable for church wedding.. we walk rnd. Cannot find anything suitable at all.. the only dress that looks decent made me look pregnant! Gosh!!

And I also need a pair of trainers... coz my old pair, the sole is coming off and friction is coming off too. And thus, we went to 'World of Sports'. Look rnd, wanted to get New Balance but can't find a good 1... and then coz I am flat footed... the sales recommended me..

It's darn expensive.. even after the 10% discount, it still costs me more than $160! I swear this is the most expensive pair of shoes I ever owned! But hubby says the technology that "asics" has is very good and the sales ppl assured me that it is very good for ppl with flat me. i.e MOI.

And when I tried it on, hmmm.. yar.. it really makes the difference.. and so..
closer view of my new trainers =)






Well... it's not just me who bought shoes.. hubby bought a pair of "puma" which was having 40% discount.. woah!! Not bad leh. But no pics.. he din take and I was too excited abt my own to care abt his. haha..

Just 2 pairs of shoes and it costs $230+... sigh..

I have noticed that usually after an arguement, hubby tends to be more tolerant of my spending manner.. or was it coz this is trainers and I only buy trainers when the old 1 is spoiled? hmmm...

And after buying and jalan-ing we decided to head hm to do sme hse chores and then off to my PIL's plc for dinner.. as pre Mothers' Day Celebration lor. But I think hubby din tell her it is pre Mothers' Day Celebration.. coz the food was hm... all right and no one was hm except for the female lead n my older BIL who is preparing to go n work.

But hey... we saw the photo of his new GF.. Basket.. no chance of patching back with Ling anymore. Sigh...

behaviour of a 3 year old!

Gosh.. I'm not proud of it.. but.. anger got control over me and what can I say?

Earlier today, we decided to have lunch at Kopi Tiam then go to NTUC to buy some food for our little picnic tml at the zoo. I can't decide what to eat and hubby was already queueing for chicken rice.. So, finally after walking arnd I told him I wanted the same. BUT NO BREAST MEAT for me. (Hubby eats any part of the chicken except for the intestines).

But when he came back with 2 plates of the chicky rice, what did I see for myself? BREAST MEAT!! I shot him daggers with my eyes and repriminded him there and then. Already told him NO breast meat and he still came back with it! Argg!!!

So, I just want to push the meat aside to get to the rice.. and as though it was not bad enough, there were pineapples! EEks.. I hate pineapples too. So with a sudden surge of strength, i pushed the meat and pineapples..

behaviour fit for a 3 year old

If u can't see the pic clearly, on the right corner are all the meat and pineapples that I pushed outta of the plate. Threw the fork onto the left corner and was just eating rice wif the chili and black sauce.

Hubby took this pic after we both had finished. I ignored him for a good hour before I finally decided to let it rest and of course after he apologiese.

Hubby told me.. this is the result of behaving badly.. if i had just listened to him and his apologies, he wld hv bought me another plate of food and I won't have to just eat rice. -_-"

What a way to spend Vesak.. and goodness... I behaved sooooo badly!

MVP of the year

I think my hubby is aiming to be the MVP of the year at least at home. Ha!

After clearing our mails last nite, there were lots of unwanted papers and envelopes so wat did my aspiring hubby do? Crush them all into little balls to be thrown in Mr Bin from a good distance of 3m (at least).

Taking a gooooooood aim...





and off he shoots!







To say the least, he is still quite far fm being MVP.

But well.. he seems to be having fun!

Discovery

Today marks the 1st session of the Discovery Programme that we hold twice a year. Today's turnout is B-A-D, bad. sigh...

out of the 135 who signed up only a handful turned up.. wastes of manpower, resouces and preparations! And also waste food lor. sigh..

Early this morning, got to reach office and then had meeting with DSEG(E) and Chua BK and Austin. Dir said lots of things... which got me a bit worried and to be honest, stressed. After the meeting with the men, BK wanted me to go to his office and continued with 2nd round. And it lasted for more than an hour! Luckily, the preparations that I need to get ready for the "Handphone Making" was prepared in advanced. If not, I will be rushing like mad at the end of the day!

Chua BK also said alot of things lar.. and I think my days in SEG(M) is numbered. Fm the way he speaks, think he want me to go back coz, well.. payroll and headcount is still considered with them ma. Aiyah.. come what may, then I just do my part lar. Dont want to go n think so much now. V sian. *sigh*

Packing my bags

Oh well... a yr has just fly by again... And here I am getting ready to leave this dept to go back to the old dept at SEG.

I'm kinda relief that I'm gng back.. The past year here is ok.. good staff and rapport and support but just that I cant help but feel that there are many pairs of eyes arnd and ppl seem to be watching and of course besides bored stiffed I hv nothing much to say.. Oh ya.. just remembered 1 mre thing, spending loads of $.. Bday lunches, Bday presents, welcome lunch, farewell lunch. Though the amt is not very big but hey sooo many ppl here, the amt adds up to! Gosh...

Now that I am packing my bags and shifting my butt (once again) I am wondering if they will still keep me in the loop for all these celebrations. I certainly hope not.. Not coz of anything but hey... I am not tat close to them after all lor. Just that coz I am here so no choice got to participate. If not classified as anti social ma..

11 May is the official day that my secondment here ends. But coz of the Discovery Programmes, I think I will sit tight for another few more days.

it's THAT time of the month

What's more to be said?

That time of the month comes with cramps, backaches and tight sensations down under. But the worse of it all is the mess it creates when I stained anything!! Argg!!!

If I don't stain anything, I can live with the rest of the things. ANYTHING than staining! Argg!!!

Woke up this morning and to my horror, stained my bed and my quilt. Darn sian. Puts me into a foul mood.

So messy and sticky and dirty. hai..

But then again, with it's "grand" arrival, it also goes to show that, our wish for a BB later is once again fulfilled.

Affairs of the Heart.

Have been chatting to Trina and Godma recently about "Affairs" of the heart and I guess body too.

Fm the "married for a number of years" view point, if the couple are having problems, be it the fault of the wife or the fault of the man. All it takes is just a 3rd party to come into the picture and it is so easy for either party to fall into tempatation and then the marriage is seriously on the rocks! And when such things happen, is it the fault of the wife or the fault of the husband? Well, one can't be certain, she says, coz have to look at the situation and then be able to make a judgment and where possible make atonements and then to mend the re-ship. Though it's not easy but as long as both parties are willing to try to come back to each other and with the grace of God, I guess it is possible.

While fm the "not yet" married view point, it seems to me that if he strays, and cannot give the assurance or mend the trust and feelings back, then it is time to let go.

From these 2 stand points, both are reasonable reactions but what is my own stand point?

Will I be taking the "married" stand point or the "unmarried" stand point? Does this stand point change after getting married and having kiddies? I think for most women, (and maybe men) it would. But can the other party who did not stray forgive and forget the whole issue and learn to move on with life as though nothing has ever happened before?

As a woman, can i tolerate my hubby playing the fields after marriage? I don't know. Godma says, if both parties is to be blamed then shd move on... but wat if it is just 1 party? Still move on? I know my faith teaches me that there is NO divorce and the only way the marriage can be annulled is if either 1 party went into the matrimony withholding information and did not concomsunate the marriage and that the marriage was not done in the house of God. I think for my case, I do not fit any of the above on grounds of annullement... so the best that we can do is really to work hard and work harder at our marriage!

Oh what joy...

These few days have been so good... hubby manage to borrow BIL's car coz he went to M'sia and so we took over his car for a few days.

So since Wed morning, hubby was able to fetch me to work, then have bf wif me then he goes off to work for 3 days in a row. I throughly enjoyed being ferryed to and fro.. haha.. How I wish we can have a car too.. But just driving around for the past 3 days.. the amt we spent on petrol and car park is also enough to push the thoughts off my mind liao... haha

Wed nite, I went home to cook... then after dinner, hubby drove me around... I suggested gng to East Coast park... so we made our way there.. and since I cannot read maps, I dont know the way neither does hubby so we were lost.. when we finally reach ECP... we spent less than 30 mins there and then we left.. haha.. But we went to take a short walk then leave ECP. We went to Casurina for prata and then I told hubby I want to go n "catch dog/monkey" (liak gao - I'm not sure the "gao" is dog or monkey though) haha... so hubby drove me to lower and upper seletar to find sme actions.. but so disappointing leh, din manage to catch anyone in action leh.

Finally after a long night out, we decided to head home and call it a day.

Thurs, morning as usual, hubby drove me to office for bf and then he left for office. I went for Kickboxing after work, and hubby being the swt hubby he is, came to fetch me and Joelle, we sent Joelle home and then we went back to our plc kopitiam for dinner/supper. Gosh... I ate soooooo much!! I had Bee Hoon goreng fm the Indian stall and then 2 BBQ wings + a can of soft drink.. goodness.. all those punches, kicks and sweats are all for nothing man.

Fri... the day which my kaypo colleagues asked soooo many questions! -_- Had the ISBG netball competition, so hubby came to watch me while I play. Brenda's hubby cute leh, the ang mo ang mo cute kind. haha..
While we were in the middle of the 2nd match, captains were all called for a meeting and that delayed the match by lots.. and from no rain, we waited till it was heavy downpour!! And then another long wait for the decision to have the games or not have the games.. sigh... finally decision was made for no games and I quickly went to bathe. Coz after bathing, we still hv to rush to CTK for RCIA. Thank God, we have the car, if not by the time i reach CTK wld be 9 pm!
Hai... listened to hubby and we went down wrong ways.. so had to climb the stairs all the way up to exit the campus... sigh.
But the time we went to the car, it already stopped raining, so we just go to CTK fm there.. was famished as well as tired... but that din stop us from gng to Casariuna for prata again =) I like their paper prata!! Yummy yummy

Sat - the last day we had the car, we drove to J8... and din do much there anymore. Coz hubby took part in the Ginvera - Nugeno men competition; to shrink ur face within 10 mins and the thing was sooooo long. Have to register at 1pm and then wait and wait and wait.

waiting for the sign to start...





mre waiting for the emcees to explain the next step... *sigh*

By the time he was done it was past 5pm and we rushed dw to CTK for mass. But while waiting for hubby, I went to cut my hair, now it is shorter and punkier (if there is such a word) than ever. Walked arnd but still hubby not done, when I finally decided to go n get a drink in MOS, just after my bum touch the seat, Emilyn sms me saying she come find me... haha... what a concidence! So hard to meet her and a chance meeting in J8 on Sat.
But we din have a chance to catch up much then hubby called and say he can go... so bid farewell and left. By the tm we reach CTK, our usual seats were full coz there was the Rite Of Acceptance for the wed group RCIA. So we had to sit at the sides.
Then after mass, we zoomed to Lynn's hse. Coz she's having a BBQ for us - the wedding helpers. Wld have stayed late to yak and laff but too bad hubby is on night shift and then 1 of his colleagues is down so he cannot go late as he orginally planned to so we had to leave before the party even started. *sigh*
And even with Godma in the car wif us, we got lost a couple of times, we missed a turn and then went into some wrong roads and then took a long long time to reach home. Along the way, Wiselyn sms me for coffee, so since hubby working, i decided to join them. Hubby wld hv sent me to J8 fm hm... but too bad my hp NO batt... so had to charge it abit before I can go off and hubby cld not spare the time to wait for me lor. Too bad.. no free ride, I had to take the bus there myself.

Din have a chance to c hubby till he came hm at 4am.. was awaken by the door opening and then the bathroom lights and shower noise. So we both being dead tired just fell asleep the moment we lie down on the bed again.

Woke up at close to 11am, hubby said he took sme leftovers fm his co... and I heated up the pizza, fish burger and sme other knicks knacks tat we hv at hm.. and for the whole of Sudnday, we just ate all these junk, nua and watch TV. Sometime in the early evening, I know hubby went to return car to his bro.. My plan was to go IKEA.. coz hv car, easier for us to bring our purchases back.. since we want to buy a cabinet to house our bed sheets n linens. Well.. another time then.. But still, today is a very very relaxing day. No need to cook, no need to clean, wake up, eat, nap, eat, watch tv and slp.. woah!! My kinda sunday!

This is my husband, Mr Sharon Loh! >_<"

I never never knew that my colleagues are sooooooo KAYPO!!! I can't take it!

This afternoon just before lunch, another colleague (who sits within the same office as me) called me aside to tell me that earlier this morning, there was another colleague who called her up and asked her if there is a new male temp staff within our office. Coz she seen me come up to office with a young man. Looks abit too old to be student, but not like any man who is dressed to go to work.

So that kaypo colleague began to dig for more info. The colleague who sits with me in the same office told her something along the lines of "Y u dig so much?","Tat guy is her husband!" Of course I must bear in mind that this colleague may hv kua chang and added in fuel or something coz by the time i heard it it's already 2nd hand.

So anyway, I am just rather pissed that this has to happen of all times. Coz today is the last time in a row that hubby fetches me to work and comes up with me. From Monday onwards, I will be coming on my own and then they wont have a chance to c him again and coz of the way it was said, it's as though I bring men up for affairs!! Goodness!!

So happens that Brenda (my netball captain) also has the same thing happening to her before and she jokingly told the 2 of us, next time, we shall prade our husbands around annoucing to the world that this is my husband, Mr my name!!

2 hands to clap...

These days, have been talking to Trina. And can sense that Kel made her so sad wif his ways.

I don't think that she is behaving unreasonably neither is she behaving in the 'princessy' manner. I think if I were in her shoes, I would be doing the same things and thinking the same thoughts.

I don't deny that sometimes she may be a bit pampered but on this I feel tat she is being perfectly woman about it, to feel insecure and to feel sad and to feel at a total loss of what to do.. But I totally totally salute her in being to refuse to answer his calls for 3 SOLID weeks! I myself cannot do that lar.. I lack the determination to do something like this.

But then again I think it may be made worse by the fact that he is in Aust and she is in SG. Long distance re-ships are definately harder to manage.

Only thing will be for her to really cool down and think things thru. And I still believe that they must have a good long talk before anything can be concrete.

Kel do strike me as someone who is not very senstitive and rather immature at times. But then again how often do I see him? I may be wrong. I dont see his other factors coz I dont know him well enough. Only Trina will be able to judge for herself.

Spend $, spend $, SpEnD! sPeNd!! SPENT!!!

Took half day leave yesterday in the afternoon and went to shop with Trina! Actually the full purpose of taking half day leave is to go to Taka and buy the Corelle utencils coz it is on promotion.

Before we started to go and buy anything, we took lunch 1st, it's not fun shopping on empty stomachs neither is it fun to shop with empty wallets. =P

10 piece at $199 with a free potable gas stove or 6 piece with 4 free bowls. I wanted to get the 6 piece (2 glass lids, 1 plastic lid and 3 carosoles) with the free bowls then I saw another promotion set, also 6 piece but at $75. This 6 piece comes with 2 glass lids, 2 plastic lids and 2 of the famous carosoles.

Because of the costs constraint and also owing simply that I do not need so many carosoles, I decided to the get the package that is just $75. And I also got a cook book from the tanyu pot section. =) I think I'm on my way to becoming a great chef! Ha!Ha!

Was going to walk arnd with the items.. then I think it is too clumbersome and too heavy, finally decided to ask Trina to open her car door and put the item in then we can go shopping easily!

Walked arnd Taka, actually nothing much to c or buy till we hit Wistma.. by chance we turned into Fashion Lab... and in it.. wah... both of us spent $108... there were additional 20% discount, tat's y I only spent $76.80 out of the $108... before discount it was supposed to be $96 leh! I bought 3 different colour racers, white, blue and red =) Material is good.. but still abit pricy la.. compared to my $10 racers that I get fm Baleeno, Girodano or Samuel&Kelvin.. but nvm la..

Then I went to Crystal Jade to get the soya sauce chicken. Not on promotion but the Ginsen Chicken was, so I bought tat. Equally nice when we had it for dinner later on. ha!

Then we decided we need a break, went to Mcdonald's for a drink and knowing gals, we yak for a good long time before we moved off again.

Last stop, went to MAC and I bought a new lip gloss for myself!

Then feeling happy and satisfied with my purchases, we decided to go home! =)

End to a wonderful shopping day!!

Easter Sunday

Happy Easter Everyone!! =)

The period of suffering and woe and abstinence is finally over and it is time to rejoice coz our dear Lord JC is risen again! Hooray!!!

Last night or rather, this morning coz we slept so late, we were soooo tired, we cld not get out of bed. By the time, we manage to crawl out of bed and open our sleepy eyes, it was already past noon! This is the 1st time that we slpet till sooo late! The last time we slept till after 11am was coz of our wedding.

Memories of what happened last nite slowly came back to mind. After the Easter Vigil, godma together with her 5 new god children came to our plc for a little post baptism celebration. Had Hokkien noodles, Chicken Mutabak, BBQ Chicken wings, bee hoon and the ever so famous Hilton Cheese Cake and after tasting it, gosh, it's not famous for nothing! They were here since maybe 11pm and stay all the while till arnd 2.40am. Laff and yak and chat.. they also looked thru our wedding photos and looked at our hse too la. I feel like I have been thru this so many many times. But there will always be ppl who have not come to our plc before lor.

I'm happy to have them come over, at least it is at our place, it's convenient. But the draw back is that we got to clear up the mess lor. haha.. They din really creat alot of mess also la but still got to do some light cleaning up. But both hubby and me were so dead beat, we just kept the food, threw the remains and rubbish (and thank God for INTERNAL rubbish chutes) and then we took our shower and went into dreamland.

And now back to the present... we both crawled out of bed and then slowly ramage the fridge for the remains of the this morning's cheese cake. Each of us had 2 slices and tat settled our brunch.

Since it is hubby's job to mop the floor, I nua in front of the google box.. feeling darn lazy and relaxed! =) When he is done, he wanted to watch "Triple X" quite a nice show wif a good looking guy with a o so hot bod! Enjoyed the show v v much.

Then managed to cajole hubby to go and buy dinner for us.. so i continued to laze some mre.. =)

Easter Sunday and we had a easter bunny too.. all the way from Austria. A gift from Eric (Godma's hubby) we each nibble part of it and left the biggest chunk in the fridge too.

Good and restful Sunday!!

And I don't even feel blue tat it's Monday tml.. coz I guess I am on PM leave... so tat really REALLY helps! haha..

Hmmm... maybe I shd start taking Mondays afternoon off for the rest of the year! Ha! Ha!

Holy Saturday

Just managed to send the last of my newly baptised god brothers and sisters (a total of 5 of them!!) thru the main door... clear up some of the mess and gosh..too tired to blog anything else.

Mre stories tml, I promise.

Good Friday

Good Friday or rather Easter Friday.. day where JC died for our sins.

Went to CTK at 2pm for the 3pm mass. Woo.. by the time we reached there the church is relatively empty and we saw quite alot of our Exodus RCIA ppl there so naturally we sat togehter but Godma wanted to sit at another pew wif her family so we split up when we reach CTK.

Mass, opps.. not mass, it's service coz for today, the priest left out the Eucharastic Prayer... so we just hv holy communion but did not have the 'transforming' of bread and wine.

After mass, we went to J8, wanted to get my hair cut since yesterday.. but sucks the stylist is just not there yesterday and today.. so forget it, will go back to Helen la. Waste my time and my $.

Had chi cha dinner at the coffee shop behind the CPF building then walked arnd a bit and went home.. End of my Easter Friday.

Tml is Holy Sat and then we will finally have our elects baptised!

ohh.... ahhh... a day of relaxation

Was on leave today.. what bliss! =)

Actually, today supposed to be a day of sorrow coz our dear dear Lord, Jesus Christ will be tortured and going to die tml.

Woke up rather early for a day that need not work coz we are gng to our Parish church for the annual Chrism Mass in which the archbishop will bless the various oil being used for this coming entire year.

We had breakfast and then go to CTK, but when we reach, it was already quite packed so we had to sit at the back.. which I dont really like but no choice. Then after mass, we went to AMK - Maybank to settle some banking issues and then had a late lunch then we went home. Just had time to sit and rest of 30 mins or so then we were off the CTK again for the Maundy Thursday mass.

This is the mass that I least like coz it is so sad, so solemn and so bleak where all of us are thinking the immense love that JC has for us that he is willing to die for our sins when HE himself is the sinless and pure one.

Jie met up with us to go for the Maundy Thursday mass and after tat, we went to AMK S11 to hv dinner, not supposed to have meat.. but I had chicken chop.. hai.. chatted for a while and then found out that older BIL may hv a new gf.. so i told Jie to let us know if he brings her home, I v curious la.. haha

After dinner, went home to nua some mre and get ready for Good Friday mass tomorrow.

the sky cries on the hour..

I was told by Trina that recently, the sky will pour on the hour and it usually starts at either 3pm, 4pm or 5pm but never in between.

Today or rather now, the sky decided to start abit earlier. When it started to pour a few mins ago, I decided to check it out for myself by looking at the time. N boy, she was right! The rain came at 1.56pm, almost 2pm.

I don't think that there is anything so special at raining on the specific hours but hey.. it's almost like clockwork these days and it's sure to pour in the evenings.

time pasts sooooo slowly

Why is it when I am only working 3 days this week and the time seems to simply slow down and not move at all?!

Sucks. I am so irriated today. Din manage to sleep well last nite coz some idiot indians were at the void decks of my opp block, talking and laughing away the whole nite and being a light sleeper, all these noise really gets to me and I din manage to sleep.

Kept being jostled awake and then still hear their voices. Was soooo tempted to call the NPP but then again I thought since they are downstairs working on their religious thing, I just bear with it but it was a terriable night! Hubby don't seem to be affected at all, he slept like a pig throughout.. hai..

And today, is a boring day, nothing much to do and I simply sit here and waste my time. So darn boring!!!

battle with the light ants

Last nite... Hubby was watching "super band" and I snooze off while watching on the sofa.. I was suddenly awkaen by sme scratchy feeling on body and also jotled wide awake with hubby's shout of "WAH!" and he begin staring at the lights.

So naturallly I looked up and goodness!! There were swarms and swarms of light ants in our hse, at the 4 lights that we usually on!! Both of us jump up and sprang into actions. Off the lights, but still have alot.

Hubby took insectscide and wanted to spray them down but he decided not to coz the they will drop all over the plc. We lighted candles, those ants flew into it and then were literally burned to deadth. Finally, we took out the vaccumm cleaner and then we started sucking them all into it. But gosh!! No matter how hard we suck or spray them, more just kept coming in!! Sooooo irriated!!! ARGG!!!

We sprayed at the door, the windows and yet they can still come in.. It's like no end to killing it!! Don't know where they came from or how they appear. SERIOUSLY!!!

In the end, we were both dead tired, we off all the lights, sprayed once mre at the cracks that we suspect they come in from, turn on the air con and went off to bed.

This morning, when I go look at the door, there were still so many dead and must have attempted to crawl in and dying in the process..

Gosh!!! I wished I won't have to see them again and most impt, during the gathering this Sat, they don't come!!!

raining meow meow and woof woof, again.

Don't know what is wrong with the weather these days.

From early evening onwards, the sky will start to turn grey, then gradually darker and darker then if finally pours at 4+, 5pm. Today it started pouring abit later, 5+ if not Godma will complain that it's raining heavily when she is gng home. Today, it started pouring after she left for home fm office. Heng for her but bad for me.. I will be trapped in the rain later then.

Earlier today, Godma and me were discussing drinks and food for the post baptism party at home nt sat. Finally decided on the drinks and we will be having red and white wine with a twist to it, we will add in some other favourings to the wine. So Godma will go n check out the prices as she go hm.

Also told her that there is a new guy working in the bakery shop, told her to go n check him out. He's not exactally good looking, but tall and big size, the kind tat I like. He's a M'sian from the sounds that he makes. I find him appealing. Hahaha.. coz i like his size. haha

I quite bad hor, married liao still like this.. but hey, no harm in looking mar.

approaching mid week

Finally it's time for normal bed time! We finally finished the 大长今 DVD on Sunday nite. It's such a relief finishing the whole long long show. But yet, also kinda sad.. haha coz nothing to chase and look forward to anymore in the evenings, unless we want to watch it on TV again lor.

This week so far has been rather boring la.. as usual. *SIGH* Tried to do my appraisal and to submit my monthly report. Really quite bored, nothing much to do.. and I am getting paid for chatting on MSN and blogging. Ha!

Had management meeting with PHS's sch team yesterday and I went home late. Luckily was able to rush home and cook and eat my dinner (Pasta; the quick and easy meal when in rush) before our insurance agent, Amy comes with our policies.

Meeting started abit late but definately ended late! And I din even have time to go n return key nor tape. SO had to come in earlier today so that I can go n return in case any1 needs to use it.

The sec.. called me at just after 9am, demanding where is her tape. Told her with Chua then she hang up. I dont know if it is coz i've step on her toes before or she is like tat. But anyway, just leave it as it is lar. sigh..

Last nite, was the first time I boiled my new slow cooker. And to prepare for dinner tonite, I cut up all the necessary vegs left it in the fridge and this morning, woke up slightly earlier to throw all the necessary into the pot. I hope and pray that the pot will not explode and that the soup will not overflow.. Coz being me, I did not read the instructions (as usual) and instead of putting in veg 1st, I put in meat 1st then veg and also filling it wif quite a large amt of water..

Godma assures me that by the time I go hm later, the pot of soup will be done and only abit (if at all) will spill onto the table top and DEFINATELY won't explode. While hubby's stand is, explode nvm, coz our hm is covered under insurance. Hurmph!! Some kinda reasoning ya??

Tonite... I've already planned. Will have the soup which has been boiling away for the whole day.. taste better be good!! I'm gonna hv chicken wings and last of all, steam toufu in honey soya sauce in garlic and mushrooms!

I hope hubby enjoy his dinner tonite.. and I just cfm that my home is protected as of tat day we signed the insurance. Good!!

random posts

Been sometime since I last posted in here. For just some strange reasons, just can't pick up enough zeal to come in and to write or rather type something.

This few days passed by w/o much happenings except me being exposed at not gng for the staff conference hosted by my former school director.

Have no wish to talk about it again... i actually went out with Trina.. How was I to know that boss will saboh me and mentioned my name in front of ALL those ppl??! Hai.. that is the worse thing that happen to me in my work here.

Did v little this week - almost nothing at all. Unless being saboh as 1 of the happening things.. Vendors come and go to deliever and take back items. Then reading and prying into other ppl's blogs.. exciting lor.. hai.. so darn bored at work.

And the moment we reached home, bathe, eat then we plonk ourselves in front of the google box to catch 大长今 on DVD. Thank God we have enough network to borrow the disc! If we were supposed to catch it on TV, we will be like rushing to go hm most of the nights. BUT! With the DVD, we are still rushing home.. so tat we can watch more of it.

I have not slept earlier than 1 am since last Friday.. wish that we will finish the show soon.. Left with disc 7 and 8. Shd be able to finished it by tml then!

Good deed indeed!

Godma and me planned something naughty but benefitcial for bro and his wife today.. in fact a few mintues ago only!

W/o his knowledge or approval, we registered him and his wifey for ME which stands for Marriage Encounter! This is good for couples who have been married for at least 5 years and when the marriage is stale and settled into a routine, time to add sme spice and re-discover each other all over again coz most marriages wld have fallen into a routine by then.

N poor bro, seems to be having sme problems with his wifey which they cannot seem to resolve, so hopefully the ME will help them to open up to each other and to salvage the marriage.. and most importantly, God to come into their lives and then to lead the both of them on lor.

Acutally last nite I also had a squabble with hubby lor. I was pissed coz of his bad habbits lor.. leave the clothes on top of the washing machine to air dry for days and the clothes were stacking on top of each other.. among sme other minor things.

I feel tat it's so hard to stay together.. so many things that we cannot agree on.. and all these are not the big issues, it's mre of the small things that put a wedge thru a couple. Now I'm begining to understand y ppl say it's the small things.. really..

When it comes to bigger items or issues, it seems we are able to resolve it calmly n peacefully.. but when it comes to minor.. hai..

Guess we still hv v long long long long way to go.

*WHEW* Big sigh of relief

*Whew* Finally the visits for this week is over! Handling 2 school visits in 1 week on alternate days is no joke, but at least better than the last time, 1 day, 2 different schools! 1 in the morning, another in the afternoon!

1st day was Bowen Sec, all the naughty Sec 2's. Wonder y the teacher bring them here, they are too young to appreciate all these. Today was Mayflower Sec. Don't like the school and I don't like the teachers. All the bao tau.. eee.. I know I am racist lar.. But really cannot take this school. The teachers are so demanding! It has a long way of histroy lar, the former teacher is demanding, this one not so demanding but about the same.

Year after year, they expolit us, make use of our facilities coz it's free and yet when the time comes for enrollement, we don't see their students! What pissed me off most is this lor. Expolit us and make use of our facility. AND when they are here, take up greater half of the day!

Thank God the next time I see them will be next year!

Concerned or Inteferring?

A few days ago, actually on the nite when I went for my kick box, I got 2 calls fm FIL. He called twice coz I switched off my hp and singtel users hv this service where they will send a sms to my hp when it's on agian tat a certain no called me __ times..

By the time I switched on my hp, it was abt 8.10 pm or thereabouts, was walking arnd in Mango with Joelle and imagine my surprise when I saw the number fm PIL's home, not once but twice as well. So I called back, thining somehow, hubby must have changed his mind on gng for a swim but went to his parents' hm for dinner. So I tried to reach him on his mobile but not on.. so I called his home.

MIL picked up the phone, she told me no one was looking for me and neither is hubby there.. so I was about to hang up when FIL came to the line.

He was ok, polite then he asked/told me tat hubby met 6th aunt earlier and told her that he gng for a swim, asked me if I knew.. Told him I do. Then he continued to ask if I am with him, told him no, then he asked where I was, what I do, how often, how much etc etc. I answered him as best as I can in mandrain.. *Note that one can't really translate kickboxing in chinese within that few mins.. Then he asked abt dinner, told him no have'nt eat, will be gng hm to eat with hubby later.

Chatted for a while more then we hang up.

When I reache home, hubby was already home so I asked him if FIL called him, he say nope.

Acutally I am wondering, since it is his son who met 6th aunt, why call me? Y not call his son to ask him? Not that I mind answering him but I find it weird that he calls me to ask all these questions when his son will know too.

Godma tells me tat he is concerned tat I do not look after his son proberly.. but hey.. his son is a grown man too, capable of being someone else's daddy too! So need FIL be so uptight over his son?

As I am penning this dw.. suddenly it occured to me.. cld it be coz that his oldest son broke up wif the gf and tat since 6th aunt told him tat hubby went swimming and I am not in sight, he is worried that we are on the rocks too?

Or is it simply just a concerned father wantting to know what his children are doing for the evening???

*ponder*ponder*ponder*

Intimacy..

All human beings yearns for intimacy. Be it just a hug, a hand shake, a pat on the head or even just being there with each other. Tat's us, human, we like to hv ppl near us, rnd us and with us.

N when 2 person got married, the closest form of intimacy will be when the couple is making love. (Not that my blog is a porn webby ok! Just my own thoughts!)

Even before I married hubby, we have been engaging in pre-marital sex, but after our wedding last Oct, it makes it more special coz everytime when we are making love, it's open to the possibility of creating a BB. (Last time, we made sure we are "protected")

The feeling is different, and the results may or may not vary.

The only thing tat we are doing, is family planning, so on my fertile days, we abstain and when I have passed it, we come back to each other again. I've realised it makes hubby more looking forward to it after a period of abstainance.. like after my period and after my fertile days. In these 2 times of the month, he is gentler, more loving and definately more desparate.. haha.. But no matter what or how he is, I like him, I love it the way when he comes to me and also during the 2 times of the month, he does not force himself on me, neither does he complains, he waits and this makes me feel special and loved by him more too.

I've just passed my fertile days and last nite was the 1st time after this mth's fertile days, he was so loving towards me and this morning when my alarm went off, he turned towards me for more..

blissful, blessed me..

Finally.. Mid Week..

It's only 1 day since I came back to work and I can't wait for the week end to come agian.. Y is working time such a chore?

The time just seems to slowly tick by! Hai..

Finally rushed out the LNI for boss this morning, in addition to the annual "Appraisal" I hate this LNI too! Goodness, the courses aren't updated in the other service providers and we got to like choose which course to go? I've been here for 5 years, those courses that interest me, I wld have gone right?! *sigh*

Thank Goodness it's mid week, time for my weekly dosage of sweat n jumbs n kicks!

I've noticed that after all those punches, kicks and sweat, I feel fresher than I was previously! No wonder, ppl do say go for exc when they are tired!

Girls' afternoon out!

After such a long time, finally have the luxury to 'date' Trina out all by myself. Haha.. Gosh.. i sound so possessive.. I mean, the 2 of us manage to go out 1 afternoon w/o the bf and hubby tagging along.

As students, we used to sneak out quite often to just catch up and relax. Since started work, not so often. And then she went to Brissy to study so all the mre no chance. So finally, since I was on leave, we made plans to meet up. =)

She came to pick me at J8, was there doing the registration of my mum's starhub pre paid card this time. (all the 3 days, got to start wif sme mobile thingy.. hai..) Then just as i finished it, she called me. So just nice, she can send her family to the family biz and then she can pick me at the same time and we can go off fm there. No need to let her make another rnd to come and pick me.. I also pai sey lor..

Since we both of nothing much to buy, we dropped by at Isetan.. aimless walking arnd (actually I wanted to get 2 hp pouch, but cannot find any that I am keen in so..) then we decided to go to Taka.. Since I was hungry, we looked for food. Sat in MOS and eat and yak... share abt girls stuff and re-ships too.. I think v v common topics among girls.. =P

Shopped arnd abit mre.. and though I keep saying nothing to buy and it is aimless shopping, I spent mre than a $100 bucks too!

Alone on Fancl it's $97.. this time i got the tonner and moisturizer. And Fancl staff know how to do biz and keep clients leh.. They give me additional sample sets and though Trina din buy any, she also got the same minus the "Tense Up".. clever sales tatics!

Then went to crystal jade and buy the soay sauce chicken since I am in town and I know my in laws like the chicken (or rather I like) and cheaper than outside. So also buy 1 coz gng to their hse for dinner tonite... good to go wif somethings right.. haha Wld hv bought another chicken for my own family but only 3 adults at home, cannot finish lor.

Then went to Marks and Spencer just want to buy something to official "open" my new Robinson card!

So all in all, a day of "nothing much to buy" end up paying close to $120 not inclusive of lunch.

Shopping is sooooo ex!! BUT, I still enjoy it! Ha..

another trip back to the mobile shops...

Just yesterday morning, we came and this morning, we are back agian... this time not so excited anymore, we slp till a bit later. Also coz we did not have to go mass (since we went last evening) so being the lazy us, we slp late..

Then we made our way to the mobile shop.. this time not to purchase but to exchange for a new hp.. or rather demand we have a new handset!

For some strange reason, sme ringing tones cannot be played when Hubby set it on.. so we want to exchange.. but the sales has told us that there is not exchange policy and tat we need to go to the manufacturer to exchange.. so we were prepared to fight for the handset to be change.

But.. hey.. we din hv to do any fighting at all. Upon testing, the sales changed a new set for us, but if there's any other problems, we got to go back to the manufacturer. Not bad leh..

Then we went for a leisure lunch at Delifrance.. Had pizza and crossiant sandwich and salad.. not bad too. Thought a bit pricy.. After the leisure lunch, we went to Ikea... I really want to get roman blinds.. but on closer inspection of the material, price and maintenance.. We decided to not (again) Up end up, we finally manage to get our CLOCK. Whew.. We also got some other nitty gritty items, storage boxes etc.. and tat amounts to $40++ too.. gosh.. $ is so small in SG!

Went hm, proudly hang up our new clock. Looks not bad on where it's being hang then took our showers, play with hp sme mre and then went to parents' hm for dinner.

We saved the laundry as an after dinner activity.. haha

ta da!! a brand new..

Hello motto..

Yep, tat's the brand of my brand new hp.. it's the Motorola Razor V3i! Quard band and with a full lot of other accessories which I doupt I will use.. haha... but still it's a cool hp to hold and after all the trade in, end up I only pay $248. Not bad right? haha

Happy with my new hp and will take the chance to slowly explore how to use it.

I was so excited at getting a new hp that I woke up at 10 plus and then pester hubby to wake up and go to the shops to change it! Like the excited child I was, I just can't lie back on the bed and get back to sleep. So hubby finally wake up and brought me to the shops. =)

We went straight into the shops took our queue number and started to wait. Luckily did not have to wait long coz we were there quite early.

But when it came to my turn.... gosh... the next person behind me waited for a long time.. coz I changed 3 sets at one time! My 2 sisters and mine =) and I helped my dad do the registration of his pre paid sim card.

Finally when all is in plc, we rushed off for makan then rush back hm.. coz i had to reach CTK by 4 pm for a meeting.. and we had to go hm to for me to bring a pail for the scrunity - Woman at the Well.

Tiring day, zoom to parents's hm to pick up handsets, zoomed to singtel, zoomed for lunch, wolved it down then zoomed back hm, played with our new sets for a while, before I again zoomed to parents' hm to pass handsets to my sisters and pick up pail n then finally zoomed to CTK.. wah.. lotsa zooming arnd.. at times like this, I really wished we had a car.. then I don't hv to zoom arnd so much and also no need to bear with the super super hot afternoons!

After meeting, had mass then we hv prayers after mass.. wah.. kinda long day already so hubby and me snooze off during prayers.. hai.. then we went hm.. waited for a long long long time for our spring chicken then it's in front of the google box.. for the nt DVD, "Kingdom of Heaven".

Happy Birthday, Godma!

Godma's Bday today and we are gng to M'sia to spend SGD.. haha.. Bigger currency can buy more things, or so we thought.

Went for a good delifrance breakfast wif Godma while waiting for Bro and his wife to come and pick us fm J8 then we made our way to JB for the rest of the day! haha..

We were still v v surprised that bro's wifey agree to come with us, we thought she will say no.. haha.. but well, she surprise us and the way I look at it, it is God's way of working his magic.

Made our way by driving into JB City Square. Shopped arnd and arnd and arnd.. sigh.. another disappointment. Nothing to buy, no clothes nothing.. sigh.. wat is it with shopping malls these days??

Godma assure me that, it is normal for the M'sia malls to be this bad. But I din reckon that it will be so bad!! Sigh..

The only good thing is that their food is cheap. We stopped for lunch in "Seasons Cafe" which turns out to be "Swensens" lor.. haha... food wise not bad but price wise v v good!! For the 4 of us, we only spent $72 RM!! Woo.. convert back to SGD, it's only $36 SGD, divide by 3 (coz we gave Godma a treat) it's only $12 SGD.. wah.. really cheap hor.. and we had, chef's salad, fish and chips, baked cheese pasta, fried chicken and a hawaillin pizza. All these for $36 SGD. Really pays to go in to M'sia to spend $ lei.

And since we din manage to get anything, we decided to move on to "The Store" they sell lots of household, which I bought also.. Good to have extra at home lor.. So can use mar and cheaper.. I got milk, yalkut, julie's chocolate love letters, the various detergents, all these for $86+ RM.. wah... cheap.. only thing is.. carring back lor.. Heng we got Bro who drove in.

We also bought back quite a lot of DVD's leh.. at only $2.70 SGD each!! Wah.. I like got at least 7 of them.. can slowly watch... nt tm will take a bus in wif hubby and then we can go n watch movie at City Square and also buy DVD come back watch.. so cheap!!

In SG buy VCD also not so cheap! haha..

But on the way hm, the stopid M'sia police closed the major road back to SG, we had to travel for an additional 40 mins before we can come back to the causeway!! The tension was abit high in the car esp when Bro and the wifey squabble.. but I think pretty normal... it's wat hubby and me wld hv exchanged too.. so no big deal lor..

all in all, a bleh day for clothes but hay day for hse hold and entertainment lor..
and as any normal other Fridays, the nite ended with RICA.. but tonite.. the nite ended with "Tom Yang Goong" a.k.a "Tom Yam Soup" haha.. 1 of the many DVD tat I bought earlier.

Bleh!

Admist all the excitment at gng to Isetan Private Sale for the afternoon, we went there excited but came home disappointed!

Hai.. as usual it was crowded, we expected it to be crowded. But wat we din expect was the lack of choices of clothes.. sign.. we went with expectations to buy clothes, in fact mountains of it! But hai... I din manage to get a single piece of clothes, not even a top or a skirt.. Not anything! Hai.. so sad..

But even though I din spend any $ on clothes, I spent close to $300 on bags, wallet, household and facial.. Out of which 1/3 is spent on hubby's brand new Guess? bag. haha.. So today is v v v good le, I spent less than $200 on myself.

So on the good side, save $ lor.. Hopefully when we go M'sia JB tml, it will be better!

It's a shopping day..

Woah.. today IS the day.. where I go n shop till i gonna drop again later..

Isetan having private sale the whole of today.. but sucks.. coz i cancelled my approved leave.. I can only go to the sale later, in the afternoon. Hope there are still some good items left for Godma and me when we rush dw from work later..

Last year, we had such a good time! We met early in the morning, lesiure bf then make our way dw to Isetan then after a rnd of shopping, met up wif bro for lunch at Tony Roma's and then continue shopping. Such a good time!

Since we only meeting up at abt 1 pm so we will each hv our separate lunches and then meet for shopping..

I hope i dont overspend.. hai.. but yet the tempation of shopping is so great.. hahaha

mornings like this..

I'm not a morning kinda person and nothing irks me more than to wake up with the knowledge I have to go to work and the person sleeping beside me on the same bed don't have to wake up and best of all, don't have to get to work!

But Godma tells me, tonight, when I am sleeping, he will be working. So it's just different timing. True lar, but still morning is such a sian time to wake up. Though I must give thanks that I am blessed enough to be able to wake up and have a job.

And worse is that, after the squabble last nite, we both went to slp w/o patching up. Tat kinda feeling when wake up is the worse of all!

Relationships...

The word relationship is such a chore. It can bring much joy and happiness to 2 persons who are in love and yet bring about great misery to the same 2 persons in the next moment.

And yet, most normal ppl will have at least 1 relationship in their life. Some are lucky to finally settle down with the person they love and to set up a family on their own (which will lead to another kind and level of relationship). In a nutshell, humans have feelings and we are all involved in sme sort of relationship with one another ALL the time.

But when the time comes for a couple who is in love, sharing thick and thin for the last 10 years to split. The years of feelings, love, giving and taking does it become all too much to just end? Outsiders will and may say yeah, wasted, 10 years of hard work all ended up in smoke. But to the couple, split may be the best way out coz the relationship has soured so much making all the sweet history and memories nothing! Worse... a memory tat wished to be buried deep within and never to be taken out to be relished.

For such a couple, is splitting up the best way? I don't know and I don't wish to know. I pray that hubby and me do not ever have to come to this stage where we have to contemplate splitting up. Our wedding reading says, "What God has joined, man must not divide."

I am quite badly affected by BIL's breakup with YL. All along, I thought their re-ship is gng on strong. Somemore with journeying together for 10 years, I thought theirs is really a wedding bells a ringing in the near future.

What a shock for me when I heard about it. But what to do? This is their life, their journey and their cross to carry.

handicapped

A few days ago... as hubby and me were lazing in front of the google box and discusing if we shd join the blessed MLM tat Stanley is encouraging us to go in... Hubby said something... which both touches my heart and at the same time, somewhat sadden me. His exact words were, "I feel handicapped if you are not with me"

What's the meaning of handicapped? Let's take a look at what the dictionary says.

handicap [noun]
something that is wrong with your mind or body permanently
a physical handicap

[adjective]
not able to use part of your body or your mind because it has been damaged in some way

noun [C]
something which makes it difficult for you to do something

verb [T]
made difficult

I think hubby meant the 'made difficult' by kinda handicapped rather than the physical disabilities.

His words touch and sadden me at the same time. I cannot help but feel touched that I mean so much to hubby. But yet, at the same time, I feel so sad that if one day I were to leave b4 hubby and leave him alone...

Dear Lord, please be kind enough to bestow strength on hubby shd I leave him first.
Amen.

Good Haul! =)

Woah... happy day is Sunday.. and happier is me! haha

After mass, went to coffee shop wif Emma, Jason and hubby. Jeffrey came to join us later too.. and we had so much fun teasing Emma saying that she shd consider Anthony.. haha another story lar.. let's see how it goes from here..

Then Jeffrey drove Emma, hubby and me to J8. I need to go to Gordano to change my belt and Emma is meeting her gal friend there. So we took the chance to shop arnd. Emma told me that there is a sale in Espirit and she has the VIP card and is entittled to another 10% off! Wah.. Good deal.. so we went in and I bought a black dress that I can wear to Lynn's wedding this Jun and also Christmas mass this year!! Goody! GOody!! haha

Then shop arnd sme mre but din manage to get much after that. I got 2 mre racer back t-shirts fm Baleno.. actually I prefer Samuel & Kevin but they no longer has it.. SO took Baleno instead. Same price lar.. just a bit of difference in the material. But then again, not much lar.

Changed my belt went to get snacks at SiLin at basement.. woah.. I still like their crispy egg wif pork floss.. Yummy yummy!! We had the crispy chicken too.. scoot into NTUC, got sme fruits and then went home.

Happy gal!!

Sme rme.. dinne @ my parents' plc tonite and I no need to cook.. Yippee!!

And the 2 of us are so hopelessly lazy.. we din do anything excpet throw the clothes into the machine and let it do it's job! haha..

Congratulations!

Big Day of Nicholas and Jenny!! May the Good Lord bless them always and be the centre of their marriage!!

Weddings are a happy event. And even more so for the wedding couple. Looking at Jenny, I can remember those prep that we went thru ourselves.. haha.. Tears of joy and tears of gladness and of course all the arguements and sulking and compromises to each other in order to see thru the whole wedding.

Looking back, maybe there are some regrets that we din have a wedding dinner.. but that regret is not strong. I am still glad that we did not have a dinner. And I am doubly glad that we decide to hold our wedding in Church. The Mass being married and held in God's hse is so much more meaningful than having a dinner and then to shout "yam seng" all the way.

I enjoyed dinner.. but my pocket certainly did not. And the air con was like switch off.. So we feel hot most of the time. But Jenny is certainly photogenic.. her photos look wonderful! She's such a radiant bride!

Another MLM...

Finally we know the reason Y Stanley came to meet us today.. We found it strange that we came all the way to our hse then say go to Tanjong Pagar to eat.. and then on the way drop his son at his MIL's plc..

We just thought he want to spend mre quality time with us.. ha! but he brought us to this co call CosLab.. which is a slimming, facial and MLM rolled into 1.. Or rather.. MLM in slimming and facial.

Fm the way I look at it, the biz plans looks rather ok. The ppl there are as usual, the young punks.. sme driving BMW's. Also some look rather ah bengs lar. Especially the 1 who talked to us, 小黑. Sounds like those gangsters too.. anyway.. he talks ok lar. Fm what I manage to gather, he's in his late 20 or early 30. Mre likely early 30 lar, since he already divorce and may be planning for another marriage.

Wat still puzzles me is that, througout the whole session, I din c any products or hear of any products except in general terms - Slimming & Facial. He and Stan and another guy (cannot remember his name) assures me that they hv products downstairs and that if I am interested, can go n look c or hear. (The building is 3 storeys high).

To be honest, I am a tad interested. But also not v happy at being dragged down there to listen. Especially when they keep pushing us to sign and asking us, what reservations we have etc etc..

Hubby later confided in me, he want to tell them, we go hm n pray about it! And I feel the same way!

Now.. preparing for the wedding dinner.. Don't want to waste my brain cells thinking abt this.

waiting..waiting...waiting...

Stanly called up at 10am++ tis morning while hubby and me are still in bed. Then after some "I call him, he din answer" phone calls, he finally call me back and said that he would like to meet up for lunch.

Was abit surprised.. but hubby already told me last nite.. so I was like good lor.. since we so long nv meet up except for that short visit during CNY.. Stan asked if I am cooking, told him I can cook pasta if he wants.. But his wifey says no.. she don't want.. so nvm lor, we'll go out for lunchy.. but we have to be back by 5pm coz still need to go for a wedding dinner tonite. He says he will be here by 12 noon.. but till now.. din c him yet..

So late..

Whose the domineering party??

While at the coffee shop earlier (after RCIA) the few of us, Anthony, Jason, Emma, Dora, Daphne, hubby and me had coffee there.

Just the normal chit chat and somehow the conversation turn to us, the couples.. Anthony was saying, he has observed the following...
Lynn & Max, Max is the 1 in ctrl.
Carmen & Gabriel, Gabriel is the 1 in ctrl.
myself and hubby, ME is the 1 in ctrl.

Not sure to laff or to cry on hearing this.. But I guess he is right lor. Coz I am mre outspoken and stronger in nature and hubby tends to listen to me lor. Not sure if this is good for him or not also..

=S

Good mood liao =)

No wonder ppl say women's mood change like the weather! This morning was still in a foul mood coz of last nite and din even manage to have breakfast coz I burnt it and now I am feeling good already.

A drastic change within a few short hours, ya? My mood change for the better coz Godma advise me to not let this kind small thing take ctrl of me.. and also since hubby has msn me and told me he is sorry, I decided to take Godma for her words and let it pass.

What she say is v true, if i am gng to be so picky on all these small issues, and we are only married for 4 months, how to last for the next 30 years and more?? And so bearing all these in mind, decided to let it pass as soon as I made my pt to hubby and he apologised. =)

ARGG!

What is it with MEN tat they do not understand meaning and implications?!

Or is it just me who is too kan cheong and too easily irriated and too quick tempered and bad tempered?!!

Last nite (till NOW) had a tiff wih hubby. He is supposed to go to Godma's plc after work for sme meeting abt RCIA from his own grp. So he says he will be late coz the meeting is at 7.30 and he cannot rush over on time. Some more he still need to eat dinner, so told them will be late but will go over asap.

What irriated me was this, already told hubby to not go hm to change, but go directly to the coffee shop and hv dinner then go to Godma's plc.

He HAD to go home and change into shorts! -_-" Since he tell ppl that he will rush over asap then how can he hv the time to go back and change?! It doesn't look good on his part lor! Want to tell ppl rush means is really appear go there from work mar. Where got time to go n change?!

He told me, coz he took 851 and it passed by our hse 1st, so he went up to change then come down. Granted that it is on the way for him to go home, but then he will give the impression that he purposely go late for the meeting and also, he left me sitting at the coffeeshop for so long! Argg!! Now I am not very sure which 1 is more upsetting.. I think still the part that he went home to change.. the add on was that I had to sit there and wait for him for so long!

He know that I was upset, so he also din talk to me. Since he cannot understand what I am saying, I shall not say anything else. Told him, don't want to pick a fight so don't talk. We ignore each other through dinner.. after he finish eating, he just stand up and say he's gng off. I still ignored him lor. Too pissed for words.

I sleot early last nite, before he came home.. heck care. Then this morning, I was still so pissed, I burned my own bf!! Arggg!!! So no bf today!

Bad evening!

Sucks! Shd hv gone for my kickbox instead. Then don't have eyes to c hubby! He is soooooo.... (no words to descripe) Don't want to descibe also. Too bad mood to say abt this stopid husband of mine!

Went to Ang Mo after our silent dinner, grabbed milk and sme mantou for bf the next morning then went home.

Bathe and relax in front of google box.. almost fell asleep.. decided to go n slp and not wait up for him since I am still pissed.

We'll c how i feel tml when I wake up!

Farewell lunchie

Had a farewell lunchie made up of KFC chicken and Pizza Hut Pizzas. A total of 8 of us were sharing in today's lunch by the poolside.. Lomantic lunch. =) The female lead for today is Shirlynn Su..

Actually din talk much with them, probably not very close and then sun so hot, so we just sit there and enjoy the view and food.

Rested for a while and then came back to office. Then there was a small excitment to see who is the one who gave her a pressie of earrings. It's silver, the kinda tat I like a while ago, long silver, dangling.. Don't know since when I don't wear silver so much anymore. I seem to have been wearing all those beads accessories recently.

The earrings very nice on her and I think she likes it too! Good for her, I gave her my tortoise earlier this morning and she had no problems guessing who coz I had my name written there.

Bel was sharing with me, she's gonna put her pressie in the toilet!! Haha.. wish I have a video cam to capture Shir when she goes to hunt for it..haha..

Overall quite a fun day for her.. Think she is in no hurry to forget her last day here in Campus!

In 2 minds now, don't know if I should go for kickboxing.. My neck still hurts a little.. but with all the food that I have been comsuming since Christmas.. think it is definately better for me to go and do some serious exc.. Another reason Y I am kinda dreading it is coz today is gonna be a tough session... tougher than last wk and I hear we are gng to have an assestment.. Ouch!!

happy birthday to ME! =)

Happy Birthday to ME.
Happy Birthday to ME.
Happy Birthday to MEEEEEE...
Happy Birthday to ME!!

U guessed it, today is my 26th Birthday! =) Slightly more than a quater of a century old.

Woke up the same time today and spent extra time to doll up.. Coz tonite gng for dinner wif hubby... though married, but must still take the time to doll up when he bring me go out! =)

Reached office and I found 1 pressie in my mailbox.. no name no nothing.. don't know who and then throughout the day, I found that there are different clues in my mailbox and I got to go and hunt for it..

2 of them were pretty easy to find... "where paper turns into noodles" that's by the shredder and also "at the one who is not here today" tat's at the cubicle of Eryn.. who so happends to be on MC today.

The other 2.. wow.. hard time! "sharpest corner of the office" most of the help that I got was by the paper cutter.. so I shall go there to find.. and the last "somewhere so near yet so far... seek and you shall find" so biblical some more..
Finally after lotsa clues and help, I manage to SEEK out those 2 pressies. The "sharpest" pressie was wrapped with white A4 paper slotted in between the copier and fax machine!! Argg...

The "Seeked" pressis wae hidden all the way in some heavy books.. hai.. finally I've manage to seek and find all then time to guess which pressie is from who.. This is not as difficult as I imagine.. coz I already manage to know 2 of the 5.

I really cannot find all the pressies so by the time we went for lunch @ swensens, I manage to get 3.. 2 others are still missing in action.

Lunch was good, had fish and chips.. and a "Firehouse Happy Birthday" I think on the house coz there were so many of us. They sang the "Happy Birthday" and I was kinda emprassed but not very lar.. haha

Came back to office at almost 3 and continue with the searching of pressies and the end result -
Michelle, kind soul who just left the pressie in my mailbox gave me a "Frome me to you bear" photo holder
Belinda, "noodles" pressie, a cute Precious Moment stationery holder.
Siti, "of the one who is not here", she's kind too, she told me to look higher and VOLIA, I saw it.. box of chocolates fit for HRM! woah!
Shir, "sharpest" pressies is a pair of HAND MADE earrings by she, herself!
Sil, "seek and you shall find" is a necklace... woo hoo..

good haul this year. haha and abvoe all, a brand new SWATCH watch from hubby.. which he personally put on for me and gave me at the stroke of midnight last nite!

By the time i finished opening all and thanking all, it was time to go home.. so i made my way to town, and dropped by at Girodano to see if I can get anything for myself. Wah.. so many things to buy... buy and try till we were almost late for dinner.

From Girodano, Orchard. We or rather I got the following:
white cavas belt with 3 hole lines PLUS
pair of jeans PLUS
a bright yellow top (considering to get the green and black too since I do not have a lot of tops) PLUS
black long sleeve mini jacket (which is the soooo in thing right now)
Hubby bought a black canvas belt with single row of holes for buckle
Total spendings: $117. 30 =) Nothing beats spending $$ =D

After the short shopping spree, we went to Hard Rock for dinner. Not tat crowded but doesn't matter anyway coz hubby booked a table for us. It's the atmpsphere of high class pub but ppl don't smoke inside. Thank God for that! They serve either hard liquor, wine, beers and also food and desserts.

We looked thru the menu and finally decided that we are not able to finish 2 main meals by ourselves, we decided to just order a side, one main meal and MUDPIE!! =)
But hor... v v v disappointing leh.. B4 we can even take a bite of our food, the waitress came and say that they have NO MORE mudpie.. Arggg... so disappointing!! I was saving space for that!

But hubby v nice.. he say nt tm we come back again just to eat the mudpie.. so swt of hubby to do that. haha.. so i also want to help him save some money.. we decided tat we will hv our "main course" elsewhere 1st and just to come in here for the dessert! haha..

Though we just ordered side and ONE main.. we had problems finishing up all the food. Portion is quite big and also coz we both had rather heavy lunch earlier. But just as well, the food not fanastic but rather pricy!

Sat there for quite sometime, enjoy the mood of the place, the music, hubby and also food. There were another 2 ppl there celebrating bday.. woah.. so many ppl also born don't know how many years ago on today.. haha.. I am but one of them!

There was also live music and singers but we left shortly after 9.15pm. Hubby really quite swt, he wanted to bring me to go and shop around to see if there's anything that he can buy for my Bday.. but coz we left HRC so late, the shops also closed. SO we just slowly scroll all the way the bus stop to catch the bus home.

Was so tired after that I fell asleep on the bus.. Not something which I have done recently but really dog tired. Gosh.. went to take some bread for tml's morning and we went straight home..

After a shower, feel better, but while hubby was massaging my neck (coz of that stiff neck I have for 2 days now) i again fell asleep on the sofa. Really cannot tahan anymore so decided to call it a night and go to bed.

No ECA for tonite.. too tired.. finally I think I can understand wat Bro means by "everyday also so tired, how to have ECA"!

Valentine celebration(s)

Went to CTK earlier and as wat hubby says, he did cover the topic on Valentine and he also added in Sacarment of Matrimony.

Before hubby arrived at AMK, I already went thru 1 rnd to get the items I needed.. Got him some sunscreen/block, got my foot scrub and cream and also other personal items. Had to go to 2 Guardian Pharmacy before I can get foot scrub! Hai..

We were abit late as hubby and I had dinner at AMK hawker centre. Quite disappointing coz the 'Tiong Bahru roast meat' is taken over by some other stall holder selling chicken rice.. sigh.. there's already so many chicken rice stalls! But doesn't really matter coz I had western food and hubby had char kuay teow.

Then we went to walk around for a short time. See some hp coz we both intending to change our hps. But the prices are out of our budget so we will still look around some more.

Then I saw this cute tortise that I thought will make a good and cute present to Shirlynn since Thursday is her last day in campus.

Met quite a few colleagues at AMK central.. surprisingly.. haha.. some were in home clothes others wld hv been walked over fm campus.

We din not expect the OGF to attract so many ppl and when we went into the canteen we din manage to find a good seat for the class so we make do and sat at the same table with Ken, Karen, James and Mabel. Felt abit like RCIA.. haha

Fr say quite a lot abt Matrimony and I did learn alot. It certainly put mre thoughts and also clarify some mystic questions that I had about marriage. Also again, it stres to me the importance of our marriage.

Fr Yim v nice.. he let us have the chance to renew our vows again.. It's really a memorable and warming to say our vows to each other again. The longest married couple was 28 years and here we are, 4 mths into our marriage.. wah.. alot of things to come and to learn and to go thru lor..

I feel that this is much better than to go out to jostle with the crowd for a table and then ppl bugging u to buy flowers and then me feel sad coz I no flowers. I really enjoyed the time spent in CTK tonite.

Renewd and recharged our re-ship..

After tat took a cab home too tired and lazy to wait for bus coz we missed the previous 1.. then went to the bakery to get bread for tml's breakfast and then to get a AP.. then went home..

Bathe and settle down (again!) in front of google box. Then hubby v swt, he helped to massage my shoulers coz I probably din sleep well last nite, neck was stiff.

Then at the stroke of midnight, he went to take bday present for me.. =)

too tired to write mre.. go slp now.

'A' is for apple, 'B' is for boy, 'C' is for Couple and 'V' is for Valentine!!

'V' is for Valentine and I am past the age or stage as to where we should be going tonight or if anyone will date me for tonite.

After all marriage does have it's purposes in this sense. haha

Tonite, we will be going to CTK for the monthly OGF session. To be fair to the priest, Fr Yim is really quite nice to us, he set up this class so that we can deepen our faith. Been quite sometime since I went.. Christmas lar, Mad hse lar, CNY lar.. just din have the time to go... or I am too tired to go.

Valentine's Day and we are back to CTK to listen to the priest talk abt Valentine.. I guess in a way it's good lar, at least we don't have to go out and fight for seats in restaurant and be hunted down or pestered by ppl selling roses and flowers and what other little lovey but useless things.

Not really a v romantic evening for such a highly commercialised romantic day.. but I guess, it's definately more meaningful ba.

1st day of lunch treat.

Monday is usually a blue day for me most of the time. But today not only am I feeling beautiful, I am feeling happy and not the slightest blue in any way!

Not because that someone is giving me birthday treats then I am so happy. (I am not such a glutton) but I am so happy because of WHO I am going to lunch with later! Bro Daniel and Godma. I always enjoyed their company. It's such fun to have lunch with the both of them. Sharing on every little thing and just forget about work and really just enjoy each other's company. That is the thing that I was looking forward to since this morning and I am so happy to be able to spend time with them.

They brought me to Vines restaurant. A small cozy place opp Novena church. The food good, price v reasonable. For the 3 of us, total bill was less than $48 inclusive of all the taxes and GST. Which will probably work out to $16 for each of us. We had fried calarmi and then I had Lamb Shank, Godma had kind prawn with grill fish and bro had Rib Eye steak. Good food with good company. Tat's the way I like it best!

Also had their freshly baked blueberry cheese pie.. wah!! Good! Sat and eat and yak.. then before we knew it, time to go back to office.. sigh..

Bro as usual sent us all back befor making the way back to office himself. Once we came back, as usual, we yak via msn. The whole of today in office we din do anything productive. I must say.

Yak and yak till it's netball time then we brought our barang barang and went off to the court. Hm... this is the 1st time that I have everstep foot onto the court and wah.. really is bad condition.. the ground is cracking up! Must be due to the lack of maintaince. Hm.. wat has estates been doing or what have they not been doing?

Started off with intro to each other and then jog arnd the court for 2 rounds which in my opinion is not enough, I can still breadth easily even after the 2 rounds, she have run a bit mre. Cannot remember when was the last time I ran also.. anyway... after tat, we practised our footwork, then some passes and then we hv a mini game.

The whole training did not last till 9pm as mentioned ar.. but still I thought it was none of the training I was used to. Today's training is really too basic for me. Though I sweat a lot but felt I hardly exc. hm.. wonder if the captain can make it slightly tougher.

Good day full of lunch treats =)

Wah... today is a good day... ppl are all trying to buy me lunch..

Earlier this week, Godma and Bro alraedy says they will buy me lunch on Monday. Then just before lunch, Aw also msn me asking me when I am free for lunch, and after lunch, Bel also msn me.. wah!!

Good week huh... I have at least 3 good lunch to look forward to for next wk. Hubby promised to bring me to hard rock cafe for dinner.. so that makes it 3 good lunch and 1 good dinner!

Y the special treatment right? Coz next week is Vday!! Haha.. no no.. coz nt wk is my Bday.. the day immediately after Vday is my bday... =) So my good friends are giving me a treat lor.. haha..

Just called hubby, coz he is at work now but he is taking cab back home, so he will soon bian go to his mum's plc to pick up the steamboat and hot plate machine (after we used it for reunion dinner) then come to fetch me.. happy leh.. At least I don't have to walk all the way to the YCK interchange to take bus home!

And also, today I've finally finished writting all the letters to the cats.. 3 of them, each of them will have 4 letters if all the sponsors remember to write. It's been so long since I last pick up a pen and literally write letters.. Gosh.. tiring leh.. What i did was draft it out then after that re-write it 4 times!! Y 4 though there's only 3 right? Coz the 1st letter my handwritting was too big... 1 piece not enough so had to re-write to make it smaller lor. Had to go to the bookshop to buy a piece of paper for it as well.

Overall, quite happy with the letter lar, done and completed, sealed with love too! haha

My shoulders especially are aching with all those workouts from my kickboxing last nite! Goodness.. So tiring. Philip warmed us up with skipping.. within mins, most of us are tired out and the actual program has not even started!!

He look at us and said:"I can see that most of you have not excerised for a long time" I am one of them lar.. but last nite's class was pretty small.

My legs were like jelly at the end of the session and it still feels abit like jelly.. gosh..

Tml is Sat and Ta Ge and gang are coming to my plc for steamboat.. after that it's sun, to go to my Kai Ye's plc then Monday.. and I have netball practise!! =S

Feeling lazy

I'm feeling pretty lazy now... after all the festive celebrations, eating and merry making, and the previous mth of slogging my head off, I am feeling lazy and not in the mood to get back to work. Horriable!!

Had a sch visit this afternoon, well behaved girls and the teachers and parents were v cooperative as well. So all went well. But the SDN students gave me a fright yesterday with a sudden phone call that they hv some briefing that they have to go.. Luckily tat was settled!

Somemre, I kinda dreading tonite.. coz tonite I have kickboxing.. after stopping for more than 2 mths, I AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD to tonight's session... =(

darn tickers!

Darn it!!! The whole day I'm trying to palce a ticker on my blog and I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO DO IT!!!

I tried pasting it on top, below, in between the lines everywhere!! But everytime I looked at my blog, it's not the way I want it! The upper half will always be blocked by the darn navi bar!!!

Then! A bright spark came into my brain.. I think it is caused by the template, so I changed template!! And VOILA!!! It workes!!! Now I have my ticker on my blog.. =) happy..

NFP

Had my NFP wif Shirley in CTK. Been sometime since I last went to see her. Coz was so busy with the mad hse and things, din have the time nor the mood to go and see her lor.

As usual, she says my cycle is not too good for the month of Nov.. coz though I had sensations but my temperature shows that I did not hv a good cycle i.e did not ovulate. And IF we are trying for a BB, chances are it will not happen. When I heard this, I am not so sure if I shd be happy or unhappy.. coz we are NOT trying for BB but the thing is... if my cycle carries on to be so erm... un-cooperative that means, we will have problems when we WANT to hv BB.

Then looking at my Dec and Jan cycle, she says it's a good cycle with all the necessary up and down in temperature and the right sensations.. haha.. so all is not lost yet.. Maybe in Nov, something not quite right with my body.

Today must be the shortest session I hv with her. By 8.30 pm, we are done. She pronouced me "Graduate" and that I won't have to come and see her so often. Telling me to call her as and when when I need help. Good!!

She also asked me if I am keen to be a NFP trainer.. to be honest, I not so keen lar, coz I feel that this is hard enough when I am the person gng thru it. And I don't feel confident that I am getting or doing it right. So how to teach ppl? She says will have training but I feel that I am chewing off too much. Maybe it is time for me to back step a little.

Surprisingly, 162 did not take that long to come.. and best part is, I had the same bus driver when I went to CTK and now on the return trip as well. Not a everyday occassion leh. haha

Hubby was already having dinner when I was on the bus, but he came down all the same and we took bread fm the bakery for tml's bf. Took our showers and then laze in front of the google box for the night.

Din do much.. so not tat tiring.. but still when the nite comes, my eyes will automatically want to close.. so tat's it for the nite.

window shopping day

After mass, we went shopping.. actually was planning to go to Alan's hse to bai nian and to give my 2 nephews AP but kinda like out of the way we decided to go and buy my Bday present instead =)

We took 162 from opp CTK and went all the way to Raffles City from there walked over to Marina Sq. Had a good lunch in Billy Bombers... I say the food is so so only not fanastic but ok lar. The dessert - ice cream was yummy though.. =)

Walked arnd in the hopes of searching for a clock for our home.. wow then we realise Marina changed quite a lot! Now it's full of teens on 1 wing and the other wing is mre family and home life style..

A few clocks from Molecule caught my eyes.. both hubby and me wld like to have it in our home but unfortunetly, each piece costs like $200?! Too expensive for a home clock in our opinion.. so we decided to look for other pieces.

A new branch of Bridal Concept is there as well and we met the boss, Stella there also. Not much ppl there, in my opinion, it's a good plc to maybe neg for your package coz no crowd but to try on gowns and for fittings, I think better go back to Liang Seah St.

Wondered into some hm concept stalls their things are pretty but we dont hv the kinda space to accencuate it's beauty so it's just look c and window shopping. Nothing much caught our attention but it is good to be able to wander arnd freely with just hubby and enjoying each other's company.

Since we are done at Marina Sq, we went over to Suntec... the crowd is always there as usual and we also window shopped. Coz nothing much to buy lor.. Just walk arnd to pass time.. haha

Finally I decided to get the swatch watch instead of the Guess? watch that I've been aiming for so long... Even though I still prefer the Guess? watch, I decided on the swatch coz the Guess? is all last piece at the shops I went to, even in the Guess? boutique... also mre expensive lor.. So forget it lar, get swatch, cheaper and mre later design. Hubby promised me tat he will give me the bal of $260 after the watch for my up and coming holiday with Godma in Chiang Mai, Thailand. =) better than wasting all the $ on the watch lor.. in my opinion.. haha The $260 is coz, it is a Vday and Bday gift... after married... now is $ best, no need for too much fanciful items lor..haha

But on the other hand, I think this watch is mre like Vday present.. coz just the other day, hubby went to trade in his old G-shock and paid $118 for another piece. I paid for that piece, so now he buy me this watch mre like Vday rather than for my bday present leh =( no bday present... sad..

Then we went to carrefour, they were having household items on sale... quite good buy, so we also went to buy lor.. aluminium foil at $2 and $1 (depending on the length) the plastic wrap, hangers, clothes pegs etc etc and also sme daily cotton panties for myself.. Total costs was onlu $23+ wow.. really good to buy all these items when they are on sale!

Tired from all these shopping, we went to Mac for a drink and to rest... the moment we went in, we felt right at home.. the decor was v cozy and nice.. then hubby said something.. he say that the walls look like our kitchen cabinets! Then it suddenly strike me.. Yup!! IT'S THE SAME!! Shade and all! Even their raise partitions looks like our table top! haha No wonder we felt "right at home".

As we rest, there was this little boy mayb abt 1 year plus, eating fries...with 5 fingers... yucks.. then after tat, with the same hand, he began to touch his face, his head, his pram, his clothes.. everywhere!!! EEEEE.. makes everything so oily after that.. BUT! It was great fun watching him lor.. haha

Also a couple of pretty girls were beside us, 2 of them were planning to get married and was sharing details of WG etc etc... boy... i'm glad my turn was over! Another 2 girls were wearing mini skirts... but not v pretty.. hahaha and i think it is the trend now... carrying Mickey Mouse bags.. Then came this "couple" the girl was wow... long hair, pretty, sexy and following closely behind is this "guy" (who looks like a girl lar) so i think it is 2 girls.. 1 very pretty the other dresses like a guy... hm... how come this kinda trend is increasing also?

Rested enough then we walked back to the MRT stn... we cld hv taken bus, but coz I want to go to "Prints" to chk out their photo albums, we took MRT.. wha.... so expensive.. so din get also.. hai...

How come thigns are so expensive in SG? =(

Window shopping day but din buy much except for house hold.. hai..
