Surprise Sunday

To my surprise, today was a rainy Sunday. R-A-I-N-Y! What a nice and wonderful surprise for us. =)

I love wet weather.

If, I'm at home, it's good to laze in bed (or rather, Sofa in my case), curled up with a nice book with some music playing in the back ground. Or it's good to go shopping in malls where there is less crowd and when u walk from mall to mall in the Open, it's good to stil feel cool and nice. So what if I need to carry a brolly? I don't really mind that much.

But I did neither of these in my favourite weather. Instead. As per our practise and religious teachings, we went for mass. The skies opened when I was bathing and by the time we were ready to go out, the rain was coming down pretty hard. Took a big brolly with us, so that we won't get drench. Hubby is very bad at holding brolly and sheltering us and not to 'biong' me on my head as I have come to realise so with a bigger brolly, the chance of these 2 happening is lesser too.

The rain did stop for a while during mass but it came back when mass ended. Also, went for confession today. It's compulsory to go for confession before Christmas and Easter. We were weaiting in the confession room... I was thinking who will the preist be? Since, I've already gotton Fr Yim and Fr Robert before, I thought it will be Fr Peter.

I heard the slow, deliberate, paced, steady footsteps before I even saw the priest and I knew it was Fr Yim once again. I did a physical cringe but was mentally glad. Put it this way, it's hard to make confessions. It's even harder to make confessions to a priest who knows you! But it's good to make confession to a priest who knows you coz he "knows" your history and can give better advises.

My confessions this time warrant me a 1 decade of the rosary... coming from Fr Yim, seems to be quite alot lei! I usually get, 1 Our Father, 1 or 3 Hail Mary's. Anyway, as long as I'm absolve from my sins. I'm willing to go with the penance that Fr gave me.

But Fr Yim also very funny lar. When he saw me, he responed to my "Morning Father" with "Morning Sha..." (Think he want to give the false impression that he don't know who I am, but how lame can that be. When he always calls us if he is free and within his eye range and us with our backs turn, usually in the bookshop.) Then he added, with his hands sheilding his eyes, "I'll try not to look at you so you don't feel shy." I was giggling. He was trying to control his laughter too. hahah.. Funny priest but I still like him.

It doesn't make confession any much easier. But kind of glad it was Fr Yim still. I know.. Contricdtion. But I cannot help it. But, definately, do feel much much lighter after confession.

And, we were kind of rushing to Eve's house for her housewarming cum gathering after mass, so din stay for lunch with the rest as we normally do. I know where Eve stays since, it's near the Cheng San CC (the place where we took our yoga) and also it's near to where I used to stay when I was a child. =) So, on this rare occassion, I lead the way to her house, on ALL other occassions, Hubby will be leading the way when we go anywhere that is not a mall. hahah... But this time, I AM the leader!!

You know, the new flats are all clustered together and they all share the same block number? The only difference is that the blocks all have a different letter behind it and yet, there will be 1 or 2 blocks that has no letter behind it?. Well, we reached the cluster of flats with no troubles. The problem began when we began searching for the block WITHOUT the letter. We walked round the whole cluster and still CANNOT find the block!

ARGG!!

Finally, decided to call the host to check the block number. She din pick up. Called another friend, din pick up too. Called the friend's wife. STILL NO PICK UP!! Wah... not my day to find out address lei... But thank God, 1 of them called me back. Then.... ORH~~~ the host left out the letter 'C'. Wah lau...

Anyway, finally managed to get there. *PHEW* We were not the latest. Only the 3rd couple to arrive ma. In good time la. Settled down to flip thru her wedding albums and shots. Nice! Then hubby irriated me lei. He was looking thru the AD photos with me and he went, "Whose house is this?" (after gate crashing. during the tea ceremony) "How come got to go back to her mom's plc?" HELLO!!! Hubby MARRIED me last year right? We went through the samething too right? Wah lau eh...

"Whose house is this?"
Of course, is the hubby's side family lar!! He got to bring the bride over to his side to serve tea ma!

"How come got to go back to her mom's plc?"
Serve tea to the bride's side ma!! Wah lau... really almost made me vomit blood!

Anyway... other than that, nothing much happend la. Sit, and chat and eat lor. Left at about 4pm and the rain started to fall heavier again.

By the time we reached home, I was sooooo tired. Bathe and then promptly fell asleep. When the clock struck 6pm, I was jerk awake. Think I have an internal alarm clock for time at times. Made our way to my parents' plc for dinner.

Mom was busy watching some korean show on VCD and din even wanna sit down for dinner with me! Hurmp!!! But, I think she made up for it with my favourite prawns. hahaha.. so she's forgiven.

Mom and I chatted for awhile and coz my grandma's area is going thru upgrading, grandma went to another aunt's plc to stay so mom is home, rarely she's home on Sunday nite, so we stayed and chatted for longer than usual.

When I suddenly remember that we need to get some drinks in time for the Christmas dinner for my family in law next Monday and since Hubby is with me, I made him go with me, instead of me carrying all the packet drinks all by myself lor.

Bought 4 different kinds. Got my favourite, Peach with Green tea, Lemon Barley. Hubby grapped the Ju Hua Cha... (abit boring I feel) then I saw that there's cranberry juice. I heard cramberry juice are good so I got that as well. Total of 4, 6 packs for a party of 7.. haha.. more than enough la. But I'll save some myself and not bring all out.. haha.. So selfish hor?! haha

I think I need to go to bed early. I'm soooooo tired! I slept like a log the moment my head hit the pillows but I don't feel rested enough! How come??!
