Early Christmas for me TOO!

=)

Christmas came early for me this year too! I got my prissy from Hubby yesterday. It's a brand new 6GB Creative Zen Neeon in Red.

First time I'm using it today. Quite silly and made some mistakes this morning. First, I don't know how to select the songs, then I don't know how to change from the MP3 function to the radio function... then.. I don't know how to off! haha..

That silly thing has delayed reaction, so not my fault mar, I pressed and pressed no reaction. =P Then I pressed and hold the "off" button for so long, and the thing does not go off!! haha..

Hubby laughed so hard at me this morning when I told him via MSN. =(

Yay!! Got new toy to play liao.. what songs should I put in?? Suggestions! Suggestions?!

Poster.

Remember I said that our photos are printed on the HUGE poster of CTK?

I finally manage to remember to get a shot of the big poster hanging on the walls.
Can find us?
There's altgother 3 shots of myself. 1 with my Godma, 1 with hubby and another group photo taken with our Confirmation class.

Don't know who so free can saboh us like that leh. But the person who designed the poster also never do a good job leh, why use the same person's photo so many times?!

P.s. Think the shot of hubby and me was the last shot that we have before getting married to each other... coz our confirmation class was in mid Sep 05 and our wedding 2 weeks later! =)

Finally Home :)

After 4 days in Malaysia, I was finally home yesterday. So happy. Finally can see my Darling. :) So many night without her a bit not used to it. Finally last night can hug and kiss goodnight with her. Most of the time over there is talking to people, listening to the speakers or doing some activities, the only time to miss my Dear is before I sleep. So good to be home.

It's Tuesday!!

Never thought that I can be so happy with the week being "Tuesday." But today, I am! I am happy that it's Tuesday. =)

Know why?? Hubby is back!!! Home tonite!!! =) At this time that I am typing this, hubby is already on the way home. I think he is snoozing or rather sleeping in the coach now. Since, that's what he does when he travels with me and from what I heard, he's been having late nights for the last few nights. Think he will be very tired.

I'm happy that he's coming home already. Miss him. True, that I do enjoy the time that I was alone. Time spent with my sister, lazing, snoozing, reading and having the whole house and bed to myself, but 5 days seem abit too long already. =P

Hurry, hurry home, Darling!

Friday, November 24

I'm home alone.

Hubby off to KL for his "Money Mastery" boot camp today and will only be coming home on Tuesday next week.

But I won't be too lonely coz tonite is the last nite of the Triduum mass in CTK, tml morning is our usual yoga session followed by breakfast. Just made a date with my sis to go shopping tml afternoon. =) Sunday, morning is mass, then go home to continue with the chores and to rest and re-charged for the Blue Blue Working Monday.

Time flies.

Already have my weekend planned out. Weekend is sooo precious, the time that I have seems to just fly by. Before I have even rested well enough, it's another week and another day!

Monday nite as usual is yoga and this time I will be going alone since hubby is not back yet. I heard that this coming session we are going to do yoga therapy. No idea what it means but I think it must be important coz the instructor keeps reminding us to be present. Too bad hubby will miss it. I will open my eyes and ears to see and to hear and then teach hubby when he comes back lor. haha..

Tuesday, he's back. Goody!

Preparing for Christmas =)

Went to Ikea today to have a feel of what we can add on to our house and just for a walk around since we have nothing much better to do.

But hungry woman is also an angry woman, and I whisked hubby off to their cafe the moment we step foot into Ikea. I did the ordering, coz I think hubby will not satisfy my cravings for their meatballs and chicken wings, hence I did the ordering. I ordered 10 pc meatballs and 6 pc chicken wings. I was drooling the whole time I was queuing ok! Finally got the food and tucked in. SOOOOOOOO good!! I wanna go back again!

Finally finished all the food and we started our walk. Ikea have soooooo much Christmasy things! Ranging from wrapping paper, cards, decorations for trees and also presents that is suitable for those gift ex changes. I almost went crazy in there! haha.. Saw these mini bubbles that I thought can add some color to our glassy Christmas tree and since it only costs $3.90 for 12 pieces, 6 matted kind and 6 clear kind. We decided to get it even if cannot be used also not too heart pain la. Cheap cheap ma. After we added in these bubbles, some boxes wrapped up by the side. Woah! Look at our tree now! Nice right?!
So proud of myself. I did the arranging of the bubbles, wrapped the boxes and arranged it there all myself. Nice. Happy!

Also bought the card board boxes in preparation for my notes come next year.

Actually, I don't have to get it now la. But the color was so adorable and sooo tempting to me that I cannot give it up! I must get it!!

Spend very litte at Ikea today. Only these items + 2 other hanging clothes hanger which we modify to use as shoe racks. So that our messy shoes will not be exposed on the rack and we spent almost the whole afternoon there.

Since their feeder bus was taken from Anchor point, we crossed over and just looked around. Nothing much but these caught my eyes.. so cute!

Mrs Clause Gingerbread house!

We did go in and found out that it's for charity. Either a pack of gingerbread cookies or a HUGE strawberry dripped in chocolate for $2. Wanted to try but we don't fancy gingerbread cookies and neither the strawberry.. so we came out again. Snapped a few pics but no thanks to my lousy hp camera. Most of the pics were wasted! Bleh!

We walked past this dessert store call 味香园 and we went in. The shop looks abit like the Ya Kun toast kind of shop. With it's square stools and square tables. We order a bowl of dessert each. I had the mango sago and hubby had the Gui Ling Gao.

Not bad. But not fantastic either too lor. They also have the yam cakes and all but we are too full from the wings and meatballs to take anything else. Actually, we just wanted somewhere to sit down but cannot be go in and noth order anything right? So bo bian, eat dessert. hahaha..

Took their feeder bus to AMK and we think Emma and Erika will be having dinner at S11, so we decided to take a walk round there to find them and indeed they are! Since, we are both so full from our tea at Ikea & dessert earlier, we just ordered some drinks and sat there to yak with them.

They told us that our photos are in the big poster in church, told us to go and look for it tml when we go mass.

Woah... We so famous huh?! haha.. will go and take a look and see if I can take a pic of myself printed on poster soon then. haha..

By the time we reached home, it was already after 9pm. Then hubby got a call from OBIL and then as I suspected, he asked OBIL to pick up the MP3 player for him as my Christmas present. I'm quite ok with this, really. Then what I overheard over hubby's end of the phone made me pissed off with OBIL. He said he wanna test the set. My reaction? What on earth for? He's not in the shop, test = play with it first lor. Basket. It's MY christmas present, why he gets to play with it first?

Damm pissed and I told hubby I don't want the set anymore. Hubby thinks I'm making a mountain out of a molehill. Nothing wrong mar, he says. But no lor. To me, it matters. It matters alot!!!

I was kind of looking forward to this present, but stupid OBIL got to spoil it all! argg!!!

No wonder my feelings for him is becoming worse and worse and worse!!!

ARGGG!!!

The worse of all these is that silly hubby don't understand my feelings and is not even being sympathetic to me! =(

Christmas Come Early !!!

Yesterday I was back from work early, cause nothing much to do in office. So I thought I would be able to meet my Dear early at home too. However, I waited and waited she was not home yet. I was thinking is she lost or what, how come so late and still not home yet, so I called her. She said she was waiting for bus, so I thought, ok, work until so late... hai...

So I log on to the net to check my email. I was sitting just beside the door as the power point for the laptop is there. Then I heard my Dear came back, so I help to unlock the door from inside. To my surprise, she bought me a little blue helicopter. It is the one which I have been looking for. I spend the last Friday night looking for it all over all the shopping center that we went to. I was kind of disappointed that a simple toy like this none of the shopping center have it. Well, according to my friend, this toy is so well like by a lot of people that it is sold out with in days.


I was quite excited with the helicopter that I almost forget to thank my Dear for it. Hahaha. Thank You Dear. :)

See?! It can fly!!!
I'm gonna be a pilot in future.Don't Disturb ME!! I'm a PILOT in training

Woah! So much?!

Had ordered the strawberry mini rolls and chocolate éclairs a couple of weeks ago. But they ran out of stock and I had to wait for them to replenished their stock before they can finally meet my orders.

Actually I did not order alot leh. I also don't understand they have no stock. But according to Godma, their business is very very good . Lots of people order from them. Probably that's why I guess.

Anyway, I merely ordered 1 carton of strawberry mini rolls and also a carton of chocolate elcairs. Which is equivalent to 4 boxes of mini rolls and 12 packets of éclairs

But, look at the condition of my freezer after I've manage to squeeze in all the items. Bearing in mind, my freezer is near empty before the items came.

Woah.. And honestly?! I've yet to see my fridge so full to the brim ever since we moved in leh!

Heng, my office mate, Ah Teck came to take his box of mini rolls and also 6 packs of elairs. That freed up some space for me to store my meat and other to-be-kept-frozen products.

Will be bringing a box of rolls for my mom when we go over for dinner tomorrow and keep the rest for ourselves since I've already given a box to my PIL's the last time I ordered. Also, since we are inviting them to our place on Christmas Day, I shall keep some and then can offer it to them as dessert after dinner. =)

Went for dinner at PIL's place and invited them to come. All agreed except OBIL who says he's working.. Fine with me anyway. But before we order our food, will still check with him again if he confirm cannot come lor.

See?! I'm a nice daughter and sister in law ok?!

After work.

Meet hubby in town after work today, I could have been earlier, if not for the long drawn out meeting between the principal and HOD's of the sec sch and my side. =(

Director say must end by 5.30pm, but still drag on abit lor. Immediately after that, I dashed back to office, switched off all the necessary and zoomed off to town to meet hubby. Hubby says he is likely to be early. Thus, I have no idea, what made me pick up the phone to call him and check where he is. And thank God, I did. He was still in office. =_=" Lucky, I did not rush myself too much to get to town! When I reached, I waited for at least 15 mins before hubby turned up leh. So much for being early.

Had dinner at the food court in Emerald Plaza. We went for the Korean food. Nice. But I still prefer the one at OG Orchard Point. Hubby, I think he also like the food leh. He gobbled up every single thing. Then we went for a walk. The lights were not officially lit yet. But they were doing some sort of testing, and I manage to snap some photos.
Still in search of the perfect Christmas Tree hence we went to Metro Paragon. Yups! The trees are beautiful and so are the price tags.. =(

To our surprise, they also have Nativity Sets. We spent some time pouring over the sets there. Some are nice, but too big. Others are ok but the expressions being painted are horrible. We finally found a set that we like. Surprisingly, the price tag is not that expensive also leh. But, we din want to make a rash decision and decided to walk over to Taka. I'm pretty sure, they have a Christmas fair there selling all these as well and we want to make some comparisons before deciding. And indeed, Taka has the fair. There were so many things being sold there as well.

We looked thru the Nativity Sets, did not see any that we like. So I guess, we are pretty sure of which set we wanted... But we saw some Christmas Wreaths that makes me yearn to have them too. Hubby says, we can buy item by item, no need so kan cheong to buy all.. So ok lor.. Wreath another time, since we both agree that Nativity Set is more meaningful than the wreath.

Back to Metro Paragon we trooped. And this is our purchase!

Ta da!!
Nice?! VERY!!!

We think it's nice. It's complete except for that "Bright Golden Star" that the 3 wise men followed. We cannot find anything suitable so we improvised and we happen to have a Golden star that we saved from last year, and we stuck it right above the barn.

Perfect!!

And LOOK at baby Jesus!! He seems soo happy and peaceful lying in the manger, even though it was in a stable that he was born into! Now I'm wondering if we were to just bring baby Jesus in the crib to see the priest, will he bless it or will he want us to bring the whole set??

We also dug out our glass Christmas tree from the storeroom and set it up. Hung up all the glass ornaments and then realized that we have some golden cloth reindeer that was saved from last year and decided to put it onto the tree too.

Can see? Does it gives u the feeling that the reindeer is running pass the tree to meet Santa??

hahahaha..

I have such a vivid imgination, don't I?

Now, we ARE ready for Christmas! Or at least, our house has a more Christmascy feel to it already. Maybe we should be playing some carols and that will set mood even more. So As long as I don't get sick of hearing it go... "You better watch out, You better don't cry. You better not pout and I'm telling you why. Santa Clause is coming to town...."

Tibetan Yoga?

So fast, this was already the 8th session of our yoga. Just 4 more sessions (not inclusive of the make up) and that's it! We have finished 12 weeks of Elementary Yoga.

And this week, we started on Tibetan Yoga.

Basically there's only 5 poses to Tibetan Yoga. First is this, standing straight with arms outstretch and then make a 360 degree clockwise turn with eyes close. We started off with 5 rounds and by the 3rd turn, I'm already giddy. We are supposed to open our eyes to get ready for the next turn at the starting and ending point. But somehow, after a few turns, my starting and ending point became 10 o'clock. I can't seem to to back to the 12 o' clock position however hard I try but I can land myself neatly at 10 o'clock EVERY SINGLE ROUND!

Duh!!!

Next pose is this lying on our back. Which looks like the dead man's pose and I was happily thinking, this should be easy! It's not! We had to do leg raises and then raise shoulders and hands to catch hold of knees and hold for a while.

After 5 of such movements, can feel my stomach cringing and it's not easy as I thought it to be!

Then, this chinese dance look alike pose.. hahaha... Basically, hold your butt and try to bend backwards. Imagine, some cheena toy drums, trumpets and scarves or some frilly things waving in the air and do this pose. Like chinese dance position lor!

Should be able to help in strengthening spine and I don't know where else.

Followed by this "Table Top" I called it.. Sit down and then push yourself to look like a table. Heh!

Trainer says, must straighten till can put a glass of water on my stomach. I think I can straighten pretty well. But to be able to balance a glass of water on my very the NOT flat stomach very hard lei. =(

Finally! The last pose... I think the name is what "Under dog & Upper dog?"

Can't catch it very well when I'm trying my very very best to do the pose.

Wah lau.. This is the most siong of all lor. Push up position one moment and then inverted "V" the next moment. This, I think we did 10. By the time I did the 5th, my hands are shaking already. Good grief!!

Not easy to be a yogi after all leh.

I copied all the pictures from this website. I shall note it down so that, the nex time, when I have more free time on my hands, I can go in and read what are all the various poses good for! For the moment, I shall just concentrate on mastering the poses.

Trainer says, we should all do at least 21 sets of each to benefit from it. Next week, we shall move from 5 to 12. -_-"

Damn... Pictures are supposed to move... But I can't get it to do so... want to see the moving pictures, either click on each individual pic or go to the link.

Sunday, November 5

Guess who's coming?

Can you make a guess who's going to descend on our sandy shores in another couple of weeks?

Well, he wears bright red everything and is most prominent with his white beard and a budging belly.. Have you guessed it yet??

Yups! Santa! Santa is coming which also means Christmas is coming. The frenzied shopping, gift wrapping, food, parties and merry making is upon us once again!
Over the last few years, Santa has sort of morphed into Gardener Santa, working Santa, dancing Santa and a few others.

It's also the time where hubby and me goes, "Shall we get a Christmas Tree?" yet again. We had been pondering on this since last year around this same time.

Since, we were both free after mass and having finished with the laundry, we decided to head out to concourse where they are having a Christmas fair. Being a Christmas fair, definately, there are going to be Christmas Trees lor.

And indeed, there are LOTS of trees and lights and decorations and also little cute and pretty things that you can place in the house! Maybe could be good for those Christmas exchanges too!

Actually, the moment my eyes scanned through the atrium, I fell in love with it! Not coz there are so many Christmascy things but becourse, the WHOLE area was done up in my favourite colour! Pretty PINK! I think I was more excited over the set up rather than the Christmascy things.

We walked a few rounds and I know which tree we are gonna buy if we are going to ever buy.

The Giant Fir Tree.

I simply love the lighter tinge of green on the edges of the branches and leaves! But before buying the tree, hubby and me need to decide on the theme, the colours and also WHERE to place this tree! And to date, we have not reached any decision.

ARGG!!!

We were also thinking of space constraint and then the issues of keeping and storing the tree, maybe we should just get a Nativity Set instead? But nothing was to our liking there.

So disappointed! Hoping that we could have walked away with something for Christmas at the fair leh. Placed too high hopes on it already.

Nothing much caught our eyes after that, but I saw something that I know my mom would love!

This!

Not the chubby face that she likes but what the figurine is holding that she will like! haha..

Checked out the price and it's a feaking $250 for just 1 figurine. And it's a mere 6" doll ok!!

Forget it! I'm not going to spend that kind of $ on such a tiny thing. (Though, a tiny nagging voice inside my head is telling me that I spent $270 on a pair of heels last year....)

After dinner at Burger King, we took a slow scroll over to Bugis. Nothing there at all, except that we manage to take the Christmas treat menu from Cold Storage. Need some ideas on the food to be served during dinner with my family in law.

Nothing concrete yet at this moment in time. Still looking and sourcing around. Also, there may be this tiny, weeny chance that my family in law will turn down the invite (since hubby have not asked them yet) and then I don't have to worry about OBIL saying anything rude nor to worry about the sate of my house and also what food to serve.

Christian Wedding

Went to Terrence’s & Fanns wedding at a very VERY ,far church. In Jurong. CITY HARVEST church! I’m sure you all have heard about this church before.

The founder are non other than Sun Ho and her husband. The church is MASSIVE, my goodness. It’s really really huge!! But darn far for us lor. I’m wondering why on earth the pastors build the church so so far away. They being such a darn rich church should have their place of worship someplace more centralize so they can have more parishioners lor. So far! Gosh.

My sister says only need to go once and I am complaining non stop those NTU students how? She has a point too but I simply cannot imagine that every weekend, I got to make a trip all the way to Jurong just for worship! Thank Goodness, the catholic church is easily accessible! For this, I am thankful and grateful! Thank God, I’m a catholic too! Haha..

I’ve never been to a Christian wedding before and I kinda got a cultural shock when we were involved in the whole ceremony. =0

First was the venue. It’s not in the main church, but rather it’s at the “Chinese Hall” which in my opinion is more like a function hall. There are no crosses (Christians don’t have crucifixes), nothing in the room looks or make me feel like I’m in a church. Kind of feel that it’s like a bigger room of the room in the ROM. But there were chairs arranged in rows on 2 sides and a red-carpeted aisle for the grand march in.

The pastor was wearing a suit which is the same as the rest of the “brothers” and helpers. Honestly, I cannot differentiate who is who. There wasn’t any mass booklets for the guests as well, just a sheet of paper listing out the programme for the day.

The whole ceremony began with praise and worship. It was nice. Very charismatic I feel, but not the solemnity and peacefulness that I get to have in church. The songs and the worship leaders were all good. But not something that I’m used to lor. Also, I find it quite funny that when the praise and worship began, the bride is not there yet. Only after it, then was the march in.

The bride came in, in her glory, on her daddy’s arms. The bashful bride that is nervous, happy & excited walking sedately to the man that she’s going to spend the rest of her life with. All kinds of emotions were written on her face and yet, this is something that she is so looking forward to.

Life with the man she loves.

The pastor took over from here, saying blessings, prayers and also giving some words of advise to the soon to be wed couple. What really impressed me was that there was a mandarin translator, who literally translated every single word that the pastor said. WOW! He’s very good ok!!

Finally, after all there is, the pastor told Terrence, “You may lift the veil and kiss the bride.” Amidst cheers, Terrence finally claimed his bride. =)

We were treated to a lunch buffet following the wedding ceremony and the newly wedded were standing outside the door thanking the guests.

The bride must be too excited and nervous. When I said, “Congratulations!” she replied, “CONGRATS” too. =S Yups, definitely a case of the nerves. Hahahaha..

After we had our lunch, we left, din wait for the photo taking. Wanted to explore the church a little since we do not come to this part of Singapore this often, but there were so many people and the weather was so warm so we decided to just leave.

But! Having said all these, the church reeks of money leh. Everything is sooo posh looking. Even the toilets are very “hotel” like. I don’t really understand the need to place a mirror inside the cubicle of the toilet though… Not as though the ladies are not spending enough time in the toilet wor.

The exterior of the church is “metallic” looking but it sends out the message of a super duper rich church loud and clear.

We took the bus and went to Jurong Point for a short walk. The place is big. But then again, most of the shops are similar to any other shopping malls so there isn’t much to look or to shop. Coupled that with 2 very broke people who are on the hunt for a desktop + a labtop/tablet + a digital camera + all the Christmas shopping that is supposed to be done + all ang pows that are soon to be going to gave away, shopping is not as enjoyable as it’s supposed to be for me. =(

But such a coincidence, I met my canteen operator there as well. And then I discovered he stay in Jurong. Wah! Far leh!! Come to work. But he drives, so not so bad lor.

I’m not sure if he’s still staying with his parents or if he’s married and his lovenest is in Jurong. Come to think of it, l think I’ve already know him for about 6 years. But never knew where he stay or if he has a GF. Should go and ask him when I’ve the chance to do so.

Decided that there was not much that excites us so we went back. We spent an hour plus just to reach Bishan MRT! *sigh*

Then we decided that it’s too early to go home or to have dinner but it’s going to be so boring for us to eat at the coffeeshop again. So what do we 2 desperate people do?

We went to the newly opened library in Bishan. This IS my first visit to the library in J8. Woah! Very big in my opinion, I did not really go to explore all the levels, but instead I was glued to the 3rd floor, the novels and friction section. Here, I found a whole collection of Danielle Steel books (most of which I’ve already read before) then some other authors that I’ve been reading off and on.

I was so excited about it and just stuck myself to those shelves. In less than 30 minutes, I’ve already picked out at least 5 books for myself. I really cannot remember what’s the max number of books each person can loan out but I was prepared to borrow in hubby’s name. And if that’s not enough, I’m ready to physo hubby to borrow just 1 less book so that I can have all of mine! *Evil Grin*

So when I saw that hubby only has 2 books, I smiled a satisfied smile to myself and pick up just one more book. So grand total, I have 6 books to occupy myself! =)

Finally happy, we headed home where I fixed a healthy dinner for us. Lettuce with Tomatoes, some ham, button mushrooms and an egg each. Complete with some Japanese salad dressing. Yummy!!

And I wasted no time in getting started on my book. When hubby went to bathe, I was already comfortably curled up on the sofa reading and reading and reading. I think I would have continued reading if not for the fact that hubby says he needs to be fed. So being the very dutiful wife that I am, I put down my very very interesting book and fixed his meal and we had it in front of the TV watching “The Scorpion King”. But I was rather distracted I must say coz I was busy reading too. Multi tasking is what I can do pretty well.

Hubby calls me “Bookworm” coz once I started reading, I cannot stop. But that is coz he himself does not read for long period of time like I do! Heh!

Got to stop now, need to read and sleep and wake up for early for tml, which is the start of another brand new week, by celebrating in church for mass.

Did I mention that the kiddies school holidays have started?! Yipee!! Hooray!!!

2nd attempt

Was not in the mood to go to for kickbox class last night BUT in the mood to do some baking. So after signing off from blog at abt 7pm, decided to go home instead.

I've been wanting to try my hands on that Nutella cupcakes recipe for ages and was going to do just that but hubby says he don't like. DANG!! So ok lor, din make that.

Tried the coffee marcooms again and STILL fail. Gosh! Don't know what or where went wrong leh. This time, I followed the instructions carefully, the only thing is I did not do the piping as said coz I don't have the pipping bag ma. Don't know why and don't know how this time. =(

Since this one fail, I also feeling pretty low. So what did we do? We make another batch of Almond Chocolate Chip cookies. =) This is pretty simple lor, since we already have all the ingredients and recipe and we have manage to do it once before, so this time, should not be too difficult lor.

Had a smaller accident though, the margarine fell onto the floor with a "Plop!" We scrapped off the bit the was on the floor and kind re-used it again coz I din have any margarine left. Then after mixing all the things, I realized I made another mistake!! I mixed up the amount for the butter and margarine! DANG!!!

Finally after all these hoo ha, we managed to get the batter into the oven. First batch was abit dark, subsequently batches are all right. And heng ar... though I mixed up the amount for butter and margarine (what's the difference anyway?!) the taste is still the same leh. Or at least, when hubby and me tasted it, it seems the seem like the last time just that this time round was harder.

Took a few pieces for my office mate today and his verdict? "NICE!"

What can I say? I'm Happy!!!

3 is a Market

Yesterday was "All Saints' Day" and is also a day of obligation for us Catholics. Hubby and I went for the last mass which was at 8pm in CTK.

Quite normal mass by Fr. Peter Koh and as usual, all of us went to the nearby coffee shop and some had supper, some had dinner and others like us, just a drink and to catch up and fellowship. Then came Paul and we were all seated together.

Hubby told me tat Paul's co is 1 of the sponsor for the coming show, "Phantom of the Opera" I know the story though I've never watched it before and Paul says he could help us get discounted tickets if we are interested and if we want to, we might even be able to get free tickets to the show.

The few of us, were astounded! Of course, we want! Immediately, we baggered Paul to tell us more and quickly, we made plans. All in all, we need a total of 5-6 tickets for this show and we ONLY want the actual performances not some martini kinda performance. Paul said something, which I din really catch.

But it's confirmed, if he's able to help us get discounted tickets, we will be going on 1 Apr 2007!

On reaching home, hubby told me, he could hardly hear Paul say anything. Before he could say anything, the 4 of us, women just cut him off and discuss among ourselves again.

Hubby says, he is bewildered by how come the 4 of us women can be all talking at the same time and yet could understand each other perfectly. Paul is the main person in getting the information and tickets, yet he spoke the least and was quiet throughout. Should we not be listening to him?

He ended his speech with, "Once again, as proven, Men take turns to talk, while women can all be talking at the same time in the same conversation" which he had read from some book before.

And on hindsight, as I recall of last nite's conversation, yups! Whoever that clever guy is, He's absolutely RIGHT!

Anyway, Phantom of the Opera....Here we come! 1 Apr 2007!
