We're on our way to a healthy lifestyle!

Woke up early this morning at 8.15 am (to be precise) and hubby and me went brisk walking and also for a little jog before going to CTK for mass.

We brisked walk to Bishan Park and then jog for like 3 mins (towards the end of the journey home) and called it a day for our excerise.

I tell you, I'm feeling sooooo healthy! =) Hubby was so sweet, he even recorded down our weight and also planned out the whole month of excerise routine.

After the very tiring walk and jog, we decided to go for breakfast. Hey, it WAS hard work ok, so we went for roti with kaya and tea/coffee. Then we head home to prepare the ingredients for dinner, bathe and go mass.

As usual, we met up with Emma and Jason for lunch and yak. Good time together I feel. But I'm once again down. *sigh* me so weak leh. Now I'm plague with sore throat, cough and a stuff nose. Which I highly suspect is with compliments frm my room mate in office. =(

Hubby now watching "Shallow Hall" and I am about to go join him the moment I am done here. Ohh... BTW, we hv black soya chicken, brocoli and lotus soup for dinner later too. ALL made by me =)

My FIRST ever NDP!

:)

Went for the preview of NDP yesterday evening. The sun was scorchingly hot (tks to my kiasu-ism that we should reach early), kids were brawling, parents were shouting and screaming. Ppl were holding brollys over their heads. Ushers kept asking us to shift right, shift left to make space for ppl. Typical Singaporeans who kept arriving late even when the parade started at like 5pm and they were strolling in at 6pm?! Kiasus left while we were SAYING the pledge! Gosh... Ugly Singaporeans!

But having endured all these, the show was nice!! But coz of our sitting, it wasn't so enjoyable coz we mostly saw the backs of the performers. But I truly enjoy the part where the ladies were hoisted up into the sky with huge hot air balloons and doing somersaults in the air. I also like the performance done by the military police. Nice! But of course, the BEST of all is the FIREWORKS!! NICE NICE NICE!!!

Some of people left while saying the pledge and there was another bout of fireworks AFTER the pledge! It was simply fantastic!

The mood of all the participants were at an all time high and it was only the preview!

I guess, we are just lucky that we manage to get some preview tickets through my BIL. But the luckiest thing for us is, this year, we get to enjoy 2 show!! Yesterday's preview as well as the ACTUAL DAY too!! Tks to my colleague! haha..

I'm looking forward to the show now.

Oh ya.. BTW, the journey was not as terrible as we imagined it to be!

Morning Walk

On Wednesday, we went for a morning walk. Yes 6am in the morning. The night before when I told her she was like, ok, I need to sleep now. Hahaha. and it was just about 10pm.

6am in the morning. The sky was so dark it was like night time, but there were a lot of students preparing to go to school. After listening to Tony Robbin's disc, it really help me to look forward to everyday, even to waking up so early in the morning. It was a nice experience walking with my Dear in the morning. If we can run it would be even better. I also started my morning run. For this week alone. I run on Tue and Friday, and walk on Wed. I hope this will continue on all my life, to live a healthy life style.

Foodie food food!!

Phew...

Last nite was rush, rush rush for us. We made our way to Wiselyn's plc easy enough, took the bus and we were there. And we were the earliest couple to arrive. So we can slowly looked round the plc and can ask many questions lor. haha

V pretty plc!! Too bad din take photos. Would love to post their lovenest here leh. But then again, they may not want la.. But really very nice!! I love their nest! And the host cooked up a storm for us, Nemo wif hubby, Carol15 wif hubby, Vic wif wife and us =) Cokelight came later but, hubby and I already left lor. We had fried bee hoon, curry chicken, pork ribs and prawns salad. Yummy yummy!!

To our surprise, we even have Pine Gardens, Lychee Martini!! It was the host's - Wiselyn's BIRTHDAY!! *Sings birthday song* Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to U! Happy Birthday to Wiselyn, Happy Happy Birthday to U!!!

Then hubby and I rushed all the way to Paris Ris for another gathering, this time is a house warming. Anthony. Also lotsa good food but we were too full to eat too much. Think E was abit drunk leh. hahaha... face was flushed. But coz we reached so late, the majority of them left shortly after in Paul's car.

But, heng ar... we managed to get a lift from Fr. Stephen. heee... He so sweet leh. Thought he will drive us all to CTK then we can make our way back home ourselves to our surprise, he drove us back to our plc. And he remember we stay in Bishan! haha

Oh... Anthony's plc is nice too!! V well done up. Cozy and cheerful colours! While Wiselyn's is zen. Both I also like!

Next time. Next time, when we buy another flat, may want to combined both designs! hahaha

It was a good evening, spent with good friends. With good food and good company!

My poor Darling

Two days ago, my Darling say her stomach pain, but din really take note. So after the dinner at my house. She really become sick and we took a taxi and go to see the doctor near our house. She really look sick. The doctor said its gastic pain, and she had 2 days MC, sooo good. But she is really sick. These two days she stay at home cannot go anywhere. So ke lian.

wozzy dizzy me

Earlier today, owing to a comment I made to hubby while at NTUC, hubby decided to come home to prove to me that he is not unromantic man as I made him out to be.

So we came home after our little shopping at J8, took our shower and things, then he decided to open a bottle of wine for no apparent reason, except for the comment I made. And pour 2 big glass of wine. Gosh...

I kinda wish I din say tat comment now.. I'm feeling wozzy dizzy and I seem to be floating?

Hubby is in bed right now.. think he's wasted after that glass... me too.. for now.

Bye Bye!

I'm SOOOOOOOO happy!

U wanna know y?? Coz this month, we have fully finished paying the installments of our electrical AND furniture!!

Hooray!!

This month, JULY, is the last, LAST payment for these 2 big items!! YIPPEE!!!

our needs..

Sometimes, I'm wondering, how do I tell the difference between my needs and wants?

Hubby is starting to pay attention to this "need" and "wants". According to the book I read, "His needs, her needs."

Men and women has different needs and expect different needs from each other. But basically, there are 10 things which is in common between the both sex just that all the needs ranked differently.

I wonder, just how different are the both of us in ranking our needs?

Meeting Needs.

I am listening to a talk by Tony Robbin. And he also talk abt meeting needs of each other. That was the same thing that my Dear was telling me a few weeks ago. This talk is really interesting. Will update more on this after I have finished the talk. :)

Good read.

Was browsing thru someone's else blog and came across this. Too late for us to apply, but I guess it can help us to improve our marriage?

A relationship coach lays out his 5 golden rules for evaluating the prospects of long-term success.

When it comes to making the decision about choosing a life partner, no onewants to make a mistake. Yet, with a divorce rate of close to 50 percent,it appears that many are making serious mistakes in their approach to finding Mr./Ms. Right! If you ask most couples who are engaged why they’regetting married, they’ll say: “We’re in love.” I believe is the #1 mistake people make when they date.

Choosing a life partner should never be based on love (alone). Though this may sound not politically correct, there’s a profound truth here. Love (alone) is not the basis for getting married. Rather, love is the result of a good marriage. When the other ingredients are right, then the love will come. Let me say it again: You can’t build a lifetime relationship on love alone. You need a lot more.

Here are five questions you must ask yourself if you’re serious about finding and keeping a life partner.

QUESTION #1: Do we share a common life purpose?

Why is this so important? Let me put it this way: If you’re married for 20 or 30 years, that’s a long time to live with someone. What do you plan to do with each other all that time? Travel, eat and jog together? You need to share something deeper and more meaningful. You need a common life purpose.Two things can happen in a marriage. You can grow together, or you can grow apart. 50 percent of the people out there are growing apart. To make a marriage work, you need to know what you want out of life - bottom line- and marry someone who wants the same thing.

QUESTION #2: Do I feel safe expressing my feelings and thoughts with this person?

This question goes to the core of the quality of your relationship. Feeling safe means you can communicate openly with this person. The basis of having good communication is trust i.e. trust that I won’t get “punished” or hurt for expressing my honest thoughts and feelings. A colleague of mine defines an abusive person as someone with whom you feel afraid to express your thoughts and feelings. Be honest with yourself on this one. Make sure you feel emotionally safe with the person you plan to marry.

QUESTION #3: Is he/she a mensch?

A mensch is someone who is a refined and sensitive person. How can you test? Here are some suggestions: Do they work on personal growth on a regular basis? Are they serious about improving themselves? A teacher of mine defines a good person as “someone who is always striving to be good and do the right thing.” So ask about your significant other: What do they do with their time? Is this person materialistic?

Usually a materialistic person is not someone whose top priority is character
refinement. There are essentially two types of people in the world: People who are dedicated to personal growth and people who are dedicated to seeking comfort.
Someone whose goal in life is to be comfortable will put personal comfort ahead of doing the right thing. You need to know that before walking down the aisle.

QUESTION #4: How does he/she treat other people?

The one most important thing that makes any relationship work is the ability to give. By giving, we mean the ability to give another person pleasure. Ask: Is this someone who enjoys giving pleasure to others or are they wrapped up in themselves and self-absorbed? To measure this, think about the following: How do they treat people whom they do not have to be nice to, such as a waiters, bus boy, taxi driver, etc.? How do they treat parents and siblings? Do they have gratitude and appreciation? Do
they show respect? If they don’t have gratitude for the people who have given them everything, you cannot expect that they’ll have gratitude for you - who can’t do nearly as much for them!

Do they gossip and speak badly about others? Someone who gossips cannot be someone who loves others. You can be sure that someone who treats others poorly will eventually treat you poorly as well.

QUESTION #5: Is there anything I’m hoping to change about this person after we’re married?

Too many people make the mistake of marrying someone with the intention of trying to “improve” them after they’re married. As a colleague of mine puts it, “You can probably expect someone to change after marriage … for the worse!” If you cannot fully accept this person the way they are now, then you are not ready to marry them.

In conclusion, dating doesn’t have to be difficult and treacherous. The key is to try leading a little more with your head and less with your heart. It pays to be as objective as possible when you are dating, to be sure to ask questions that will help you get to the key issues.

Falling in love is a great feeling, but when you wake up with a ring on your finger, you don’t want to find yourself in trouble because you didn’t do your homework.

refree KAYU!!!

This morning, I watched my first ever 3am match of the soccer 2006! Watched with hubby of course and it was Germany VS Portugal. I betted with hubby that Portugal will win and they sooo disappoint me! It was Germany who won with 3 goals ALL in the 2nd half of the match!

And I am sure the refree is to be blame too. HE SOOOOOO KAYU! When the hunks of Portugal did something wrong, he wasted no time in giving the kicks to Germany. But when the Germans did it, he went on with the game! KAYU! KAYU!!!

The 1st match was very boring, ppl just kick and pass the ball here and there. So boring and I almost fell asleep. It WAS the 3am match after all!! Things only got more exciting during the 2nd half. After Schweinsteiger shot in a goal, the Germans were on form man. Worse, they have a own goal by the Portugal team, Petti. *sigh* The Schweinsteiger guy actually scored 2 out of the 3 goals this morning!!

Sigh... What can I say? Exciting 2nd half, hunks chasing after balls and KAYU refree lor.

Hubby says want to catch the finals tonite.. Luckily, tonite the match is supposed to start at 1.50 am. Not as late as the 3 am. If not how to wake up to go office tml?

Take me seriously, can?

Just after so soon that I was raving praises of Hubby, I got to come back in and whine. *sigh*

Actually not a serious thing lar. Just that many many moons ago, at least 1 or 2 years back, I told hubby (on numerous occassions) to go and do a blood test to chk if he needs to take the Hep B jab.

Today, after sooooo long, he has yet to do it lor. Not taken the blood tests nor the jab.

I'm feeling sian ok? SIAN!

Must I repeat and repeat and then I am nagging. But hello, this is HIS health we are talking about right? Not someone else's life right?

Just sian.

I have a wonderful hubby!! =)

I'm feeling so bless and blissful and soooo on cloud 9!

Hubby in his previous post was saying that he has a 3 million dollar dream. Everybody has dreams and this is 1 of hubby's. I'm feeling the way I did not coz he has this dream. But more like what he said towards the end of the entry.

"Hahahaha. Though she scold me, she is still my Darling. :)" This is the part that got me so happy and feeling soooo good!

Hahaha.. I really do have a wonderful husband, though at times, I know that I've taken him for granted, bullied him and really make him at the 3rd 'ring' of marriage. But being the way he is, he is quick to forgive me, and still love me just the same. Accepting my many many faults and tempers (which sometimes are just uncalled for!) and he patiently wait for me to cool down and always (well, almost) the first person to extend the wings of peace.

I'm soooo glad and happy that I am bless with such a guy. Such a treasure!










And since I have spoken so much... we talk abt the 3 million dollar dream. Aey! I am not materialistic ok, but we need $ to eat, to live and to raise our kiddies right? So since hubby want to earn 3 million for us. I'm not complaining! hahaha
Hm.... Firstly.. if really have tat kinda $.... a portion of it got to go back to God. He bless us with this amt and it's only right that we got to help the others who are mre in need.
Then... parents.
Of course, another portion must must must go into savings and maybe some gurateened and safe investments.
I would like to shift plc. Not to anywhere landed or condo. I still like Bishan area. Just tat, I would prefer a higher, non corridor unit as compared to now. And if we do get another flat, we can actually make a ONE TIME PAYMENT for the unit!! How cool is that?!! No housing loans for the next 20, 30 years!! Which by the way, our current housing loan is a freaking 35 years!!!!!!!!
Kiddies... hm... by then, I think we can afford at least 4 =) And I would like to send them for enrichnment classes like ballet, piano, tek kwando or art. Basically, anything that they are interested and shows a talent for lor.

I would want to continue to work maybe as part time. So I can spend more time with my children and yet still maintaining links with the market so that I won't become too 'Yellow' a.k.a 黄脸婆。hahaha.. also coz if I continue to work, I don't have to rely 100% on hubby to give me $ though I know that he can very well afford it lor. I just want to still have that tiny bit of financial freedom for myself lor. Modern woman thinking ma. Anyway, it's v v sian to ask hubby for every penny right? Recall the days when we were in school especially in Secondary schools? Somehow the list of needs and wants just gets longer and longer as we grow and everytime we want dough, the easiest & legal way (up to age 14 anyway) was to take from parents, but I recall my mom's face too lor. haha... so best is still to have some spare dough that I can call my own. Imagine I asking hubby like a couple of hundreds a month for my Fancl? Facial? Shopping? -_-"

I read in a book that, a wife should always try to make herself attractive to her hubby else (hence, the NEED for the FanclS, facialS, shoppingS etc), it's very easy for the man to stray. After all, the streets are full of sweet, young things which as I age over the years, I cannot compare to them. Only thing is then got to build such a solid and strong re-ship with hubby that he don't even want to think abt breaking this bond between us!

I like this dream! Hubby, I really do. Please go n do something about it! hahahaha

I Love You, Darling!!

Million Dollar Dream

WOW. 3 Million Dollars.... Hahahaha.

I must still be dreaming, yeah I am dreaming. But this dream seem so real that I could not sleep this morning. 6 o'clock in the morning I was waken up by the motor noise below my house. Then I start to think about how and I going to work toward this 3 Million Dollars. I was thinking so hard that I could not sleep anymore. It was only about a hour away from my usual time. So I decided to go for a morning run. The last time I run was last Wednesday. I must keep up with my running routine, so even before the sky trun bright, I was out in the park running. There are so many people there, but most of them were old people. My Darling was still on the bed when I finish the run. Haha. So this time I get to tell her to hurry up. Hahahaha. But I think I rush her too much that she forget to bring her handphone after I locked the gate and scolded me. Things are so funny, when I was slow, I was being scolded for being slow. Today I was fast, still I was being scolded for being too rush :( So I told my Darling weather I was slow or fast her face is always the same. like this --> :( Hahahaha. Though she scold me, she is still my Darling. :)

I Hate em!

Just yesterday morning, after I bathed and I went to the kitchen, to pour myself a glass of water, (Yes, I have this weird habit of drinking a cupful of water every single time after I bathe, I personally feel dyhrated after bathing and I must take gulps of water after I relief myself too!) I met my mortal fear! COCKROACH! Yucks. While the bath din manage to wake me fully, my fear did! That beastly thing was crouching near the plates. I DARE NOT even go near the dishes and the sink. SO what did I do? I did the most clever thing, I ran (yup! ran!!) back to the bedroom to wake up hubby and pester him to get rid of that beastly thing for me!

That tiny thing sure can run. Boy, even after we sprayed it with insectside, it was still running all over the plc. Finally, hubby caught it. Of course, hubby not too happy that he was waken up by me early morning lor. =( But I was really terrified of them ma.

I hate cockroach! Hate em! Hate em!! Hate em!!! Hate em! Hate em!! Hate em!!! Hate em! Hate em!! Hate em!!! Hate em! Hate em!! Hate em!!! Hate em! Hate em!! Hate em!!! Hate em! Hate em!! Hate em!!! Hate em! Hate em!! Hate em!!! Hate em! Hate em!! Hate em!!! Hate em! Hate em!! Hate em!!! Hate em! Hate em!! Hate em!!! Hate em! Hate em!! Hate em!!!Hate em! Hate em!! Hate em!!! Hate em! Hate em!! Hate em!!! Hate em! Hate em!! Hate em!!!

All I want for Christmas...

It's almost time for us to hear the ring-a-ling, ring-a-ling, carols and start seeing old man in red hats soon.

And for Christmas this year, I want a sponsored trip to Thailand, Bangkok. No need to sponsor my shopping, just the flights, transfers and hotels is good enough. Shopping, I take care of it myself. Hint, Hint!!

All I want for Christmas, is BKK shopping!

For the first time...

I have been having this wish that hubby and me will wear the same design of tops when we go out for a long long time.

And over the years of pak tor with each other, we have been tyring to find either the same T-shirt or something but we just cannot find 1 that is suitable for the both of us. So over the years, I gave up trying to find what is called "lover's shirt" It's not the same as taking 2 same coloured T-shirt and wearing it together as compared to wearing a couple's shirts.

But I have also come to this conclusion. That is, we are simply not suitable to wear something like that, so now, when hubby and me happen to wear the same colour out it's just concidence lor. I mean, we were not staying together before marriage so I won't know what he was wearing for that day till I see him.

But over my recent trip to KL, I bought so many T-shirts for myself, and a few for hubby, it also nv occur to me that I can buy something for us in "His" and "Hers" design. Only till, I happen to see Trina took a photo of her own T-shirt and Kel's T-shirt that she bought then it suddenly strike me. HEY!! I bought something that can match each other very well. Like this. Hahah... Seriously! I think I was too disappointed over the years that's y never even notice that these 2 make up a set. Haha.. I think the photo that Trina took is similiar to this, coz I remember thinking, wow, Kel's shirt so big and Trina's shirt looked so tiny besides his. =)

So on Sunday, I made hubby wear this to church for mass. Do we look compatiable? Our friends who saw us says we are soo 'coorinated' haha.. I'm quite happy leh. Haha.. I know this is pretty silly la, but still I'm happy and tat's all it matters right?

Finally back to office.

Haha, finally back to office after almost 1 whole week. Last week I was doing some testing with the vendor at site, so not much chances of staying in office, and I took 1 day off yesterday. This is really a long break, but not a very fulfilling one. I felt more tired during this break. Maybe its because of the uncertainty of my job. Really feel that I must do something so that my furture can be more secure. Hopefully this project would continue for 1 more year. Maybe its because I am too lonely having the break by myself, my wife was away for 3 days, and these three days I was feeling tired and all I do was lyed on the sofa and watch TV. So sian, but I also went swimming, but still there is a emptiness somewhere.

Hurmp!

This blog seems like it's just another 1 of mine.

What's the use calling it "ours" if hubby don't contribute to it?!

Hurmp!!
