we "morphed" too!

I saw this on Haze's blog for sometime ago and have been wanting to try but I can't get some decent front unblocked shots of ourselves!

Finally after searching through my HP and Camera, I got these 2 shots!And the result is.... Quite cute right? And I think looks more like a girl!

whahahaha...

Photo entry

Finally managed to upload the pics from HP and camera into the PC for last week!

Dinner @ Shokudo with the SW Gang. Part of Hub's and my dinner.Some chicken with rice covered in eggs. Not bad.

We prefer the pizza actually, but we were both too hungry and just ate without taking any pics. There was a 1-for-1 promotion that day too. Very worth!

And a pic of our darling God-daughter! My my, she has grown so much!!

She was looking at Godpa (I think) when this shot was taken. No longer has the baby face, now is really a toddler, and very girly too!

And on Monday, when we took a day's leave.

Katong on a Super Duper Hot Day! Very pretty and colorful Paranakan Building.Hub said, "Must take a pic then can show that we're here, you know!" Ok.ok. So I took...for him standing outside Aston where we just had lunch.

Then we went to Vivo to hang out for the rest of the day.

Super glaring, that's why hub can't even keep his eyes open!Here we are sitting at the un air-conditioned portion of The Pacific Coffee.He had the chocolate paradise and I had the berry something.

Surprisingly, even though it was sooo hot, it was rather breezy and we just sat there to laze, ang mo watched.

too many things to update!

I have too many things to blog about but so little time and with my final term starting next week, I've not really sorted thru my notes and things to get myself ready.. I'm feeling too lethargic to start to do anything too.

So, a summary of all the key events...

We went for Harry Potter new movie on Thursday... and I'm sooo sooo sooo disappointed. It's definitely the WORST Potter movie ever. I regretted staying up and being so excited over this movie.

Anyway, just for the record, I've collected my notes from SIM on Friday, 17 July. The original plan was to meet Hub for dinner at Ikea. The silly guy pissed me off sooooooo much that the whole evening was spoilt.

I had rushed to go to SIM, pick up notes and then rushed to meet him at Queenstown MRT.

I told him a total of 3,4 times, Queenstown MRT. In the morning, before I left office to go to SIM, when I reached SIM and after I collected my notes.

The guy had to call me (less than 10 mins later) when I was feeling the hottest, the stickiest, the rushiest and feeling the most agitated while handling 1 box of notes in my hand while the rest were stuffed into my bag and asked me "Which MRT har?"

I swear I could have screamed then and there.

Yes. That was the limit. And yes. I got so pissed that we din speak to each other for the whole evening.

And yes. We have made up that night. But that's another episode of our marriage life.

piangs.. why can't men just listen and then get the info INTO the head?

Sigh....

But on hindsight now, I do agree with the Hub that I could have been less angry and just accepted his apologies and we could have had a nice evening in Ikea instead of a wasted evening.

This man. He never fails to amaze me with his sudden deep insights on our marriage.

Anyway on Sat, we met up with Victor & Family, Clement & family for dinner at Shokudo. Food's not bad. We just chatted the night away.

The 2 toddlers have grown so much and they are both so cute. Not talking much yet, but I think the time will be here soon. I think the parents will be going crazy with their endless why.

Sunday, we rested in the day and then we went cycling.

It's been too long since I last exercise. Less than 30 mins later into cycling, I felt faint. Literally faint. Things start to look blur in front of me, heart was thumping way too fast and I could hear buzzing in my ears.

What can I say?

I'm weak. So. very. weak.

Come Monday.. Ah.. This a day I trully enjoyed.

The Hub and I took leave. We purposely traveled all the way down to Katong for the famous egg skin popiah. But the shop was CLOSE!!!!

SOOOOOOOOO disappointed!

No choice, we had Aston for lunch then slowly made our way to Vivo.

Walked and chat and laugh and ang mo watched at Pacific Coffee while sipping and enjoying our chilled drinks.

Though we did not do a lot nor anything exciting... The most exciting got to be buying 2 items at Diaso I guess or maybe deciding what to eat for lunch/dinner?

I don't really care. But it was really good quality time spent together.

The free and ease of going anywhere we want, with no time constraint and nothing to rush to. Just to enjoy each other, chat and laugh.

I felt as though we've gone back to the early dating days and the feeling is so good. I think I fell in love with Hub all over again after that day.

Oh... the surprising thing is, as we walked over to Harbor Front, we even bump into the contractor who renovated our house for us. And it's a good thing that we met him. He changed his hp number! And I've been recommending him to my friends who needs a contractor.

As I sit here to type this, I'm still basking and reeling in from the 1 day leave and time spent with Hub.

Suddenly, this week don't seem as blue and definitely much much shorter and not to say so much more enjoyable and fun!

I certainly hope the feeling is mutual and that the Hub enjoyed it as much as I did. I think he did coz that very night, he said "I think we should do this again after your exams in Nov. It's so relaxing and good for us."

Super clever lor.

Damn Pissed off.

Why is it every single time, you can only do as you are told and not a single step more?

ARGH!!!!!!

When will you ever learn to be more active around the house?

Do I really have to list down every single bloody step before something can be done?!

I really really think that you are driving me closer to my graveyard!

ARGH!!!!!

Different smelling sense

I've already forgotten this incident, but this morning, I suddenly remembered and thought I'll do my memory justice and blog about it.

Some weeks back, Taka was having their sale and the Hub and I went.

I showed him the gorgeous Juicy Couture shop at Level 4 and then proceed to drag him to Level 1 to show him the fragrance that I was lemming for.

He took a whiff, made a face and commented that it smells too sweet and a tad familiar. Just that he cannot recall what it reminded him off. But the general comment was, "Not nice." Um.... "not nice" being the polite way of saying.

After putting some distance between the over-enthusiastic SA and us, a few Indian / Myanmar nationalities walked past. The Hub was busy making many other comments, most of which I’ve forgotten now but 1 comment came back to me this morning.

“It reminds me of those scent that they (*eye signals to the group that just walked past) wear!!”

I was incredulous! The scent, granted is sweet, very vanilla maybe and too flowery. But I did like it!

The Hub after making the association, laughed and laughed and laughed. Infected by him, I burst out laughing too.

His final comment?

“Don’t tell people you are my wife if you wear THAT scent out.”

On hindsight, minus the pretty bottle, I honestly don’t really like the scent as much as I did.

Ha!

After this hilarious incident, I know for sure, there is no way that I’m going to get this pretty little thing anymore.

My latest lemming for fragrance is the Pure White Linen Pink Coral (Eau de Parfum Spray) by Estee Lauder. Which, apparently won the Hub’s nose and his approval.

He likes my previous Pure White Linen (L) and current Pleasures (R) both fragrances from Estee. Think his nose quite atas, Estee.

I think I shall keep it safe and stick to Estee… else I may honestly be given the ultimatum and really have to declare to people “nah… I’m not his wife.”

Cute Girl

Was having dinner at Prata House after mass last night (Sat) and when we were halfway thru our dinner, a mother came in and sat in front of us with 4 of her children.

The youngest of which was seated in her pram and was eating a banana.

She kept looking over to us and when when we smiled at her, she smiles back! So cute and pretty! Then I sat on my seat and shake my head and body a little, she followed suit!

I was having a good time playing with her, hubby too and we each snap a few shots of her. She's so cute. Big eyes and so friendly! I really want a girl just like that too!

I think she has mixed blood, her siblings all look a little Eurasian and Asian. The mom seems to be Philippino, the white kind. Whoever the daddy is, the children all look pretty and handsome. 2 boys and 2 girls. Such a perfect combination!

We went to NTUC and bought some groceries, some of which will be our lunch for tomorrow or lunches for the coming week. Frozen processed food, I know it's not healthy to be eating those often but to bring to work, these would be the most convenient.

This was my any-how cooked lunch for today (Sunday).Udon with veggies, corn, crabmeat, Japanese fishcake in Ikan Bilis (Diaso) & Mushroom broth.

To my surprise, my tenant came out and commented "Nice smell! What you cooking?"

And to my absoulte delight, the food turned out nice! I was expecting it to be very blend coz I did not use any other seasoning and Udon can be very blend!

We ate it all, soup and every single thing in the pot.

Next time, I shall experiment more and see if I can do other kind of 1-dish meals. So simple and save effort in cooking and washing since there's very little things to wash!
