Jer hit 3!

A few minutes ago, Jer was hitting the new chapter of his life. The big 3. Now, he is OFFICIALLY in chapter 3, 1 day into it to be exact! heee...

Our usual Bday / anniversary celebration is to go for a meal. I suggested Ma Maison at Bugis, but he wanted Seoul Garden. And so, Seoul Garden we went.

Food's ok. But I do think that variety is much lesser as compared to the past.

Only thing I really really dislike is to smell like BBQ. My hair, clothes, bag and even my HP! =( I'm wondering how long its gonna take before the lingering smell clears. *sigh*

Anyway, I was early and I waited and waited and waited. From an empty restaurant, I waited till it was full and still no signs of the Bday boi!

Oh well, at least we had a window seat. Overlooks Liang Seah street. This lane does brings back memories, we used to come here often when we were doing our wedding prep. Our bridal shop is just down the lane.

I was so bored, till I snapped pics of the spanking clean BBQ hotplate and steamboat bowl. And my own reflection from what is supposed to be Jer's seat. I finally can't take it any longer and so I cooked while waiting, I thought he should be hungry by the time he arrives, can start eating no need wait. And when I was done, he's still not here!Fast forward to after dinner and we asked 1 of the staff to help us take a pic.

First shot. I like this shot. Only thing is, I had to crop the pic as the manager of the store choose this moment to walk out and he's in the frame.

Second shot.Blur. =(

So, that leaves just 1 good shot.

Nevertheless, can any of you tell that my left lower eye lid is swollen? I was a little uncomfortable since yesterday but earlier today, it got more and more uncomfortable and starting to irritate me. Towards the end of the day, it hurts a little too.

Sigh... another episode of eye infection I guess. I just recovered from the last one less than 2 weeks ago! Maybe the bacteria is too strong as I let it heal naturally without going to the doc and the bacteria did not clear totally. I guess, I must go to the doc if the swell is still here on Sunday.

But still, Happy Birthday, Hubby! Love you always!!!

First time in 4 years

I guess, I must give my PILs credit and thus this deserves jotting down.

Since our marriage 4 years ago, countless people have asked when gng to produce some offspring(s). My mom being the no. 1 person. She's been bugging me no end.

Relatives, friends and some colleagues too... but my PIL's have never asked about when we are gng to start producing them some grandchildren.

Today, being the 59th Bday of FIL, he during his traditional cake cutting and wish wishing session had 3 wishes.

First: All at home to be healthy. (I think this is the general wish of every parent.)
Second: That he will still have his PT job. (He's so much happier since he found this PT job)
Third: Where possible, to have an extra someone this day next year. (Of course, one can take it that he meant my YBIL to bring home a wife... only thing is, when he wished for this, he was looking directly at us, or rather me... and MIL was standing right beside me and said "carry grandchild")

I'm not dense, I catch that-very-direct-hint-targeted-at-me-very-clearly.

I would love to say OBIL can go first... but his wife still has another year of studies to go and I guess, they still need to do the traditional wedding ceremony... so, that 'extra someone' most likely got to come from us.

Oh well... Be it have or don't have, it got to come from my Big Boss up there la. All I can say is, once I've cleared my studies, I'm open for trials and errors. But not before I clear my studies.

And just for the fun of jotting down memories, just 2 days ago, a close church friend early early in the morning msn me and said that she dreamt of me sharing my good news with her and that I was very excited and happy.

We shall see if this dream of hers do come true.

And oh. For the record, in case u, my dear friends are wondering if I am stressed out abt PIL's hint, I am NOT at all stressed nor worried.

Firstly, this is the 1st time they mentioned about this topic.. hmm.. the only other time was FIL asked if we are thinking of having kids... but he din openly wished for it. So I guess, not counted. But today was the first time he and MIL said so.

Secondly, if we were not studying, I guess we would have been trying.

Thirdly, my motto is, Have, will have. No have, no have. No use thinking too much anyway.

Oh well, as long, as this qn is not asked too often, I'm Ok.

So conclusion?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FIL!!!! =)

Something's brewing...

We just met someone today who will be doing an exciting project for us...

I'm excited!

Now, I have 2 things, no 3 things to look forward to in Nov!

End of my course, bestie's wedding and this exciting project!

Shall keep this under wraps... all will be reveal in due time.... heee....

Thanks to someone... U know who u are! =D

4th Wedding Anniversary

Time really flies by quickly and this is already our 4th Wedding Anniversary. So, we took leave on the actual day, 1 Oct 2009, Thursday to spend time together.

Honestly, we did make quite a fair bit of plans.... like Vivo / China Town for brunch, movie, Flyer and then lastly dinner at KPO.

But after working out the traveling and finer details, we decided to just go straight to town for some shopping, ride on the Flyer and lastly dinner.

Headed to Isetan at around noon and we went straight to see if we can get tickets to Cloudy.. I have some Shaw movie vouchers but those cannot be used for the movie and not wanting to spend additional, we decided to not watch any but headed to get my shopping done.

I used up my $60 of Isetan vouchers on Fancl and then we decided to head to McD for brunch.

We could have gone to a nicer place for brunch but I have McD vouchers and we area already going to spend a fair bit on the Flyer as well as dinner so we decided to cut costs and have a simple brunch.

The weather was really nice and we just roam around. Walked over to Ion, spent a short while there and we went to Taka. I was on a quest to Watsons in Taka coz I wanted to buy the MU brushes. I needed badly to wash my 2 brushes at home and I'm handicapped without other brushes... I could have gotten the Body Shop's brushes but those are expensive. 2 brushes would have set me back by at least $50 or so even with discount! The watson's ones only costs me $38 or so for 2 brushes and the quality is quite good. What I like best is that it's eco friendly!

We finally went to ride on the Flyer after getting lost at Ritz... ha! Coz of the F1, there's barricade all round and we have issues trying to find our way out of Ritz!

There's a couple who booked the entire capsule for their ROM ceremony and the capsule is nicely decorated! Quite pretty and so nice, we share the same 'marriage' day! =) Oh.. they went on 2 rounds (or maybe more? I don't know) while we only once. But I guess, 30 mins in the air is enough for us too.

Our turn to get on the capsule and we shared with 3 other foreigners and 4 PRC ppl. Sigh... these PRC are so irritating. Talk damn loud la. The whole cabin can only hear their voice!

But the 3 foreigners are quite nice. 2 of them even volunteered to take our photos for us without us asking!

We had dinner at this Jappy plc, SuKi Ya where we can have buffet sukiyaki or shabu shabu. The meat is nice. Wafer thin and soaks up the soup base. The accompanying sauce is the best! I like it very much! Best of all, it's only $19.90 before GST. No other charges lei.

All in, we had a very nice day. What I enjoyed most was not shopping, the food nor the ride. What I enjoyed the most is the time spent with Hubby! The chit chats, laughter and just the company that we both share.

Happy Anniversary Darling! Love U.
