End to my PH

PH today and we as usual laze till we are happy before moving our ass out of the house.

Orginal plan was to get lunch downstairs then go to TTSH to pay Nic a visit and then we go to East Coast for a walk... But we never made it to East Coast. We did however manage to go to TTSH after our lunch/tea at Killiney in Square 2.
I had my French Toast and we each had a coffee. A tad too sweet for my liking, but not bad lor. French toast... hm.. pretty normal lar.. I like the melted butter but not kaya... so in the end, I finished all the butter but left the kaya almost untouched. Hungry Hubby waiting for food. We have not eaten anything substantial for the whole day, but then again, we were nuahing at home most of the time, so this was enough to last us till dinner.

Thank God, my godbrother, Nic is looking good! He can talk and joke with us and he even chatted with us for almost an hour before we left. Best part of the news is that, the intial tests shows a negative reading!! Hip Hip Hooray!!! Doc says, if tml's blood test is normal, he can be discharged! =D

We walked around Square 2 after leaving him and then went to the Golf House near our plc for dinner...
it was so crowded! But thank God, we did not have to wait long for a table. We had to sit in the smoking corner but coz of the ceiling fans, we did not have to take in much of the 2nd hand smoke at all. GOOD!

Feeling famished, hubby went to order food. We had quite alot for just the 2 of us.. but the funny thing was, when we were discussing what to order, it did not sound so much! We had rojak with lime juice. A plate of hor fun with kai lan. (Which kai lan came first, that explains the small plate of veggies left). And thank God, hubby took my suggestion in just ordering 1 plate of hor fun to share... he was thinking of a plate each!We also had 10 sticks of Satay (5 mutton and 5 pork) and to complete the meal, BBQ Wings.

Lots of food hor?! But between the 2 of us, we polished every single bit off! The only thing that was left was my lime juice which I really had no room for anymore.

Really chiam lei... yesterday already ate so much, today eat again... and hubby says next time go again to try the claypot tian qi! Wah.. sure over eat again! But... to be honest, I don't think I'll mind. I like the claypot frogs... and the satay is quite good! Not that oily. Only thing is the peanut sauce was stone cold. If it's hot, it will be even nicer!

I'm one who is 'allergic' to satay at night... if I eat too much, I will puke. Serious. So I only took 3 or 4 sticks... but also depends on the satay. If it's not oily, I can stomach more. If it's oily, I can only take 1 or 2 sticks before I start to feel queesy and start behaving like a 'merlioness'. So, by the fact that I could eat, 3 or 4 sticks, this Satay is worth a try! hahahaha..

Needed the washrooms to clean our hands and their washrooms are semi-opened! The washing area is open like you see while, if you need the privacy, it's available too. Quite nice hor? Think the only opened / semi-opened toilet I've seen is in the Zoo... So in an area like this, I must snap a shot! hahaha... Call me 'sua ku' lor... but hor, I've been staying in this area for so long, I've never eaten there... and NEVER did I know that prawns fishing is available too!Well, the rates are not really cheap. But I guess, it's kind of fun if you are with the right company. But, all the time that we were watching, only a father and son team manage to catch a prawn. The rest were just holding out the rod.

While we were watching them, we suddenly remember this taiwaness lady who has broken all records in fishing for prawns and she can even choose to catch a female or male prawn at her whim and fancy!!!!

Power hor?!

So, this is an end to my PH and now, blogging at home and feeling abit of "Wednesday Blue". =S

Food, Glorious Food!

I decided to stay home today since tml is a PH and I have my last media assignment due tonite at 2359 hrs.

Hubby having received his first pay check, brought me to a nice dinner at
Pariss International Seafood Buffet Restaurant in Marina Square. =)

There were soooo much food that we were bursting after spending almost 2 hours there.... at our table There was such a wide array of food, I think we did not manage to try everything... but among those that I did manage to try. I like the shark fin's soup best! Really quite nice!!! Guess, I'm not an environmentist after all... But who can resists delicacy like that?!
The cold dishes, with crayfish, prawns, oysters and lots lots more.
Salad bar I think...
One of my favourites, the desert section! There was a really nice looking, purplish mochi of some sort, but when I went to get it, there was'nt any left!!! =(Don't all these look pretty? I so love looking at it!!! And I had a good time taking pictures of it and I think those ppl there must be thinking that I'm quite mad, I got a few stares.... Hubby looked erm.... embrassed... hahahahaFruits... quite common for this section though.

There's lots of other food but I din quite manage to capture everything... the staff were eyeing me already and told me no photos... so.. no choice already. But I must add that, besides the desserts, I truly ate my worth thru the sushi and sashimi section... =P I simply love sashimi...

But, we were given a window seat and from where we sat, we could see the "World's Biggest Ferris Wheel" rim which according to hubby will costs a freaking $25 for a 30 min ride...

Hubby also went on to add that, tickets to the wheel for next VDay is already sold out!!! I was just commenting wah... so romantic... then Hubby said, it's a cabin which will be shared with other people...

DUH! Well, put it this way, I don't think I will be one of those suckers who is paying that amount to be hanging in the air, sharing the cabin with some other strangers on VDay lor... Want to whisper sweet nothings also cannot, then what's the point?!

But then again, maybe for VDay, it's another kind of deal? You pay lagi more to hang in the air with your significant other in a PRIVATE cabin lor.

Back to Pariss, I like it, but it's rather pricy to go often... not to mention that I will over-eat and grow way too fat! But one thing about Buffet is this, the first time you go, everything seems very good. But the next time, when faced with the same wide selection, somehow, food does not seem as appetising anymore. =

It was a nice evening and good dinner! =) But on the way home, while in the super crowded 162, 1 digusting and inconsiderate old woman, actually took off her slippers and prop her leg on the horizontial seat in front of her!!! Argh!! And when the bus got crowded, she din even remove her legs!!! It was till much much later when the bus was bursting then she remove her darn legs. She alone occupy 3 seats (1 for herself, which is fine, then 1 more for her damn legs and the last for her bloody bag!!!) for the first part of the journey lor! So inconsiderate! Damn her!!!

Then when she finally realised in her idiotic brain that the bus was crowded, she moved. A couple took those 2 seats and then she started telling them about some religious things. Wah lau!!!

I was waiting for the chance to snap her photo and post it to the news or something, but damn! She alighted before I could do it!!!

Damn her lor!!! Inconsiderate!!!! Hate people like her! She's old, white hair, but speaks English, carries a plastic bag and starts handing out Disc on "karma" or something. Bleh!!!!

NICE!!!

Emma came back from Hawaii and got us this as a Souvenir. Super pretty isn't it?!

Hand curved candle crucufix and with a light scent of pineapple. It's so pretty!!!I can't bare to light it up.

Have placed it at the altar after asking Fr Yim to bless it. I know he did say that, items that are blessed are supposed to be used. And I remember his pray went something like this "May Your (God) light be them and show them Your light." But it's so pretty... I can't bear to use it. We still have our Baptism candles on the altar, we also cannot bear to use it too coz it's OUR baptismal candle. Wait and see how la... Maybe, 1 fine day, we will use it after all...

Went to see Nic again after lunch and he was sleeping, so we din disturb him, left him a note on the tapowed fried rice (he told us, he was craving for it on Friday night when we visited) and we left.

I had to go to Hub again, coz I told my mom that I'll bring a "Pork Kunckles" for dinner and told her that she does not need to cook so much. So no choice, I have to bring some food over. Uncle Jeff dropped us at J8 and guess what?! I saw the motocycle bag (that I ordered thru the spree) being sold at Charles and Keith! Excited, I went to check out the price, and when I saw it, I was darn happy!! It was at least $10 MORE expensive lei!!! hahahaha...

After checking out the bag, I went to hub. Was on the MRT together with Emma who's on her way home. Hubby was already feeling cranky so I asked him to go home first... anyway, it's good that he go home first, else I would'nt have the chance to try and buy this!!!hahaha... Nice right?! So yar... again, spend some more... but nice lor... Quickly went to get my 'prok knuckles' from NTUC and rushed home, since I still wanna do up my assignment and also, I cannot be outside for too long, else Hubby will know that I went shopping again!

There's still that skirt that I've been eyeing for sometime that I've yet to get... =(

Had dinner at my parents, and yups, the pork knuckles was indeed good, every single piece was gone! Once home, it was time to sit at the tablet and typed typed typed for my assignment once again.

When will this bug leave me?

I've really been spending lots of $$$ these few days =(

Yesterday, before dinner at Botak, Irene and I went to Hub for lunch and I got myself 2 tops...

Then after meeting Clara, her parents, Cindy and Naomi at J8 for lunch in MOS, we went to walk around and I got something else again.

This time, it's 3 CD's!

To be fair to myself, I've not been buying any CD for the last 1 year (at least!) The last CD I bought was Jay's 七里香 album. So, today, I bought his last year's album. Yups. It took me THIS long to finally buy his album,依然范特西. But the good news is, it only costs me a mere $9.90! hahaha..

I saw Gary's "Superman" and I was too tempted. I like 2 of his songs.... so I got that as well.... and the ironic thing was, I went into Sembawang Music Store, wanting to just get the disc to "Phantom of the Opera" instead, I got an additional 2 more Disc. But both of these additional does not even add up to the costs of the Phantom!

So, in a mere 2 days, I've spent another $100 or so again. The tops are rather cheap... about $50 for both or less... and the CD's costs me a grand total of $60++. =( Hopefully, I can physo hubby to sponsor me for the CDs? Or at least share share the costs with me? =)

Put the CD into the player and we both spent at least an hour sitting there, enjoying the music. It was till much much later that we both decided to move our ass to get the housework done!!!

Damn Good Dinner.

Finally the time has come to buy a "farewell dinner" for 1 of my dear friend. She's leaving SG and joining her family back in Malaysia. I know M'sia is not that far, but after she goes back, it's definately not so simple and convenient to see and meet her anymore.

She has been craving for Botak Jones ever since we told her it's good and we diecided to buy her her dinner there.

All of us were so busy with our awesome food. We forgot to take group photos and also not all the food ordered were shown here. I missed the Cajun Burger , Tuna Sandwich and Fish & Chips. =/

As usual, we yaked and yaked and after dinner, we all decided to go TTSH to visit another of our dear friend.

But hor, we all dilly dally and by the time we reached TTSH, it was almost 10 PM!!! Gosh... Luckily, Nic is feeling up to it and he could chat with us for more than an hour before he got tired.

= really praying for him that the test (on Monday morning)will go well and he will be bless with a CLEAN bill of health!

Just for you Darling.

Feeling rather tired out from the whole day of work and I took this quiz, "Can You Make Anyone Fall in Love With You?" from blogthings or something like that.

and the verdict....
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
You Can Make 65% of Your Crushes Fall in Love With You

Your seduction skills are practically legendary. You know how to close the deal.
Just don't let someone you're really into get the better of you!
As long as you keep up your end of the flirting game, you'll get the prize at the end.


So, Darling, are you begining to be afraid yet? *hee*hee*

just LOOK at the time!

I find it hard to believe that I'm actually blogging at THIS time! My goodness....

I guess, this will be the first of many times that I'll be waking up so early while hubby is still sound asleep on the warm cozy bed. And why on earth I woke up so darn early right?

Well, for the fact that I actually wash clothes? Made soup the traditional boiling way and to fix breakfast, of course!

Not that I'm great or what, for a fact, Godma wakes up at 5.30 EVERY single day be it weekdays or weekends, all for the family, breakfast, food, chores, marketing... etc etc...

I guess, the female species is always the one who will do all these, and I think, even for me, it's no difference. Imagine, next time, with school going children in the morning session, I guess, usually the "mommy" will wake up early to prepare the kid and the "daddy" will have the responsibility of sending the kid to school if he drives, else, the mommy still have to bring the kid to take school bus or whatsoever...

Bottom line? I guess, mothers are always the self sacrificing creatures. Everything is done without grumbles or even a single word of "Thanks" is needed for all that are done.

Kind of feeling nostaglic this morning, I guess. Really, it's only after getting married, having to take care of the house and sometimes hubby makes me appreciate my momsy more!

Mothers' Day is coming... LOL.

Anway, left the washing machine running, soup boiling and I must get back to it soon... The fact that I woke up at 5.30am to do all this still sorts of lingers in my mind... coz I, myself find it unbelievable that I'm waking up so early to do all these!

P/S: The alarm rang for 1 straight minute before I woke up! And I think it's mre of the rain that woke me rather than the alarm. Maybe I should change the alarm sound to "Thunder and Raindrops". =D

Yummy Dinner!

The revamped coffeeshop near our home is finally opened! We went on Sunday to have the famous "Tiong Bahru Zhui Kueh" before mass but the queue was sooo long, no choice but to eat other things instead.

And today, we made plans to go to PIL's plc for dinner but no one was home and there was no food at home, so hubby suggested going to this same

coffeeshop for dinner. Which I readily agree to!

The revamped plc looks big, feels airy and the stores looks so welcoming, unlike the previous time. I wanted to try the roast meat stall but the queue was sooooooo long, so I took this instead.Mutton Brani. Comes with achar. Achar was too sweet for my liking. But the brani is nice! Soft and fagrant, though it does not look exactally nice from the pic... and what is curry without papadum right? So I got 2 packs to go with it. The main course, Mutton is very nice too! Tender and flavourful! Nice!! I like, will go back and eat again. =)

Hubby got the Mexican Chicken GrillWhich turns out to be rather disappointing after a long wait. Chicken was sooo tiny!!! I doubt it filled his stomach. But thank God for my brani, hubby took a few mouthfuls from mine, so I guess, that ought to make it up.

Next time, I wanna try the roast meat, the fish soup!!! *drools*

Mini Gathering

Had lunchie with the girlies and their families in Swensens after mass today. So the 6 of us (Max & Lynn, Gab, Carmen & Channie, Hubby & me) + 1 BB trooped off towards our destination.

Despite not having made a reservation, we did not have to wait too long. Good! We were all getting a little famished.

Hubby had the "Fish in Cheese"which has no taste of the cheese whatsoever. -_-" and I had the "Beefy Burritos"which was actualy quite nice! =) Topped off everything with a sinful "Chocolate Overload"Isn't that a G-R-E-A-T lunch?! And of course, while waiting, we chatted and play with BB Channie. She's really such a darling, so cute. The best was, she will just look at hubby and smile so cutely and sweetly at him! Such a dear!!! hahaha...

After the long long lunch, we collected these. Finally! After making the internet booking so long ago, we collected the tickets. And the truth is, I CAN'T wait to go!!!

Phantom! Here WE come!!! =D

First Time

Ordered food for dinner coz
1) we were too lazy to go out to buy food
2) I was too lazy to cook
3) Hubby was recovering from his cough and flu
4) I wanted to try.

So in the end, we got these...I cannot remember what set it was.... but it consisted of
1) a 10" Teriyaki Beef Pizza
2) some salad
3) 3 piece of Mochiko Wings and I think 6 pieces of breaded scallops.

I enjoyed the wings very much. Nice! But the rest... ermm.... I think I prefer Pizza Hut pizzas by way of comparision lor.

Anyway, cannot finished the pizza, saved the last 2 pieces and some scallops for breakfast for tml before going to CTK for mass.

The above can be bought at Oishi Pizza. They do delivery in certain areas la. But like I said, I only like the wings. Or maybe I ordered the wrong pizza? Anyone has any flavours to recommend?

Oh, when I say "first time" I mean it was the 'first time' we had Oishi Pizza hor... and definately NOT the first time that we do a 'ordered' dinner lor... LOL.

End to the Easter break.

Early this morning, we woke up and made our way to town. Not for anymore shopping, but for the baptism of my new God siblings at 12, noon (Yes, NOON!) in St Joseph's Church in Victoria Street.
Went for a filling breakfast since we forsee that we will not be able to get any food till at least 3pm. After some ponders and wonders, we decided to go for prata and check out my 'teh chino'!Big right?! But hor, the uncle got problem. I asked for cold and I was still given warm. chey.... and when he was taking our orders, he asked till so detailed and yet, still wrong orders. Bleh. Anyway, I decided I don't like it. Much too sweet. =(

Proceed to St Joseph for the baptism service... er... Nothing much to say. Except, it was much much much toooooo warm and the baptismal font was sooooooo far to the left, we cannot see anything at all! The echo was quite bad in the church as well and frankly, hubby and I was getting quite fraustrated with the heat and the long long long process!

Anyway, a picture of my new God Siblings, together with Godma and the rest of my other God siblings. Short of 2 of them. Nick is in hospital and Vivien was having lessons till 5pm. So, needless to say, those 2 in white are the new addition to the family. Welcome, Joseph Terrence and Mabel! =) Must call me "Da Jie" lor. hahahahaha

Finally, after all the photo takings, we went for tea! Much much awaited tea! We were all famished! And during tea, we were all so hungy, I forgot to take any pics!

But look at this... EASTER EGG!!!! (My first time, receiving Easter Eggs!) so cute right?! Hand made by one of the sponsors lei! So sweet of her! And she also made 'hot cross buns' too. Of course, by the time, we actually eat the buns, it was no longer hot. And I hope, it wasn't cross anymore. Hahaha... It should be 'cool happy bun'!

1 for hubby and 1 for me! (no need to say which is mine right?) It took me such a long long time, before, I finally bare to make a hole and actually eat it! =( And I do feel pretty sad after cracking it open!!! I was trying so hard to open the smallest hole possible! But from the look of it... I did not do a very good job horz... =(

Easter Egg or rather, what's left of mine. =/

Final, couple egg-y shot before Hubby bring his egg home. It's lying on the stove now. Waiting for me to crack it opened for tomorrow's breakfast?! hahahaha...

Enough about eggs, I guess. Hubby and I went to Bugis Junction for a walk. We were both feeling rather tired out from the whole day in the warm chuch, hence no mood to really walk.

But being the highly effective shopping queen that I am, it took me less than 10 mins to get these! How can I miss it right? Pink discs lor.. haha... Just nice. My first sem in SIM is ending, I can do all my backup for this sem on the CD rather than just saving it on my PC. What if my hard disk crash?? Then, "God Bless me" liao lor. Nice and cute hor? And also, continue the rate that I am eating, I've very sure, pretty soon, I'll be looking like the bug too! =(

And I finally got my card holder!
It's at some shop, that I cannot even remember the name. Was eyeing the COACH ones... but hello... for more than a $100 just to hold some cards... forget it la... save up that kind of money instead. It's after all, just a card holder lor. Though of course, if $$$ is not an issue, I would still LOVE to have the COACH card holder. =)

Nice day to end my Easter Holy week celebrations. But hmm... hubby and me are such spoilt brats... we mentally and verbally agree with each other that, the next baptism, if Godma asks us to go and support... we ah.... will show our support mentally if it's held in an un air-conditioned church and join in for the makan session. But if it's in an air conditioned church, we will be there.

Yes, Yes I know. Spoit brats... but really. We cannot concentrate and less than halfway thru the service. We were figetting so much and feeling very very pek chek. Might as well, we don't do if that's how we really really feel right? I think I can still pray for them at home lor.

Hai... spoilt brats! *tsk*tsk*tsk*

Happy BDay, Momsy.

Celebrated Momsy's bday a day in advance with these... Feast from Pizza Hut, which includes the Seafood, the Hawaiian, 2 Garlic Bread and 20 piece of Drumlets for er... just 4 of us.... wah lau... so much food lor. Over ordered! Coz sis din say she's joining her friends for lunch! Bleh...

So much for my abstainence from meat for this weekend too lor.

Gave momsy the lipstick I bought from Clarins and she seemed excited at a wrapped up box. hahaha... must be a long long time that she received a wrapped up present lor. hahaha...

Finally, unwrapped the present and she immediately went to try it. She use soooooo little, I can hardly see the colour. But she seems happy with it and I think that's all that matters. =)

Happy Birthday, Momsy.

Go and nap now. Will be having a long long night later, during Easter Vigil.

Bird Flu?

When Hubby and I came home earlier after CTK and window shopping at Hub, we saw this and this just at the slope leading up to our block! (sorry ah... I had to use the max zoom and it seem grainy now, coz it was taken at level 3)

These 2 birdies were lying within 100m of just each other!

Is this a cause of concern and should I be getting worried now?!!!

Or should I be calling NEA or goodness knows who else to monitor?

How? hOw? HOW???

Monday, April 2

is it me or is it u?

I don't know why, but these last few days, we've just been having cold wars, tiffs on and off.

The worse is, at this moment, I cannot remember what happened yesterday to cause me to be upset at u. Yet, I only remember the negative feelings that I am habouring inside me, since yesterday till now.

And, just now, because of a trival thing, I lost my cool too. I simply hate it when after doing a set of chores, realised, there's other things to be done. This something is what u could have done to make our live better too. Must wait for me to do?

I also hate it when I want to settle down to study / do to my TMA, u keep talking. I was ironing, u could have tell me about ur day or whatever it was that you wanna share. Must wait till I want to study then talk.

ARGG!!

Ok... I got to buck up. I cannot let myself sink so low and just think of all the horrible moments that we shared. Our lives cannot be just misery. What's the point of staying married or getting married if we are both perpetually miserable?!

So... Yups. U have been more proactive recently. Earlier, when I needed to hang my laundry, though you were watching TV, u came to help.

When I was struggling with the ironing board, you helped me flatten it.

Also, for the last few weeks, I've noticed that you boil water without me telling / asking you to.

All these are good signs =)

All right. I shall not dwell on all those times when you irriate me. I shall and must focus on your strengths instead.

*Mental note to self: Look at the good things! Look at the good things!*

One Week At the Job

I have spent one week at my new job place. Well everything is going fine, and everyday I am just reading up the manual. Still waiting for my training. My sup. everyday come only after 10am and sometimes dont even come to the office. So my training have been postone day after day.

Before, I went for my previous job as an investment consultant, I have an experience where I was going to pass something to another person and I went to the wrong floor. It seem to me that the experience is telling me that the first time, or the first thing which I meet or take will not be the one for me. Then when I went for the interview at my previous company, I went to the wrong floor again. From there, I have a bit of doubt about my time in that company. Then finally this job comes and it has the same natural as the investment consulant which is sales. So I guess this is the correct job for me :)

Good Food with Good Friends.

Met up for dinner yesterday evening with our RCIA mates. Time really flies and we celebrated our 2nd year Baptism Anniversary admist laughter, chats and photos! Father Yim joined us as well and he told us how he was called to be a servant of God, how he became a Priest.

All too soon, time to say Bye Bye.

Really enjoyed myself with them. When will the next gathering be?!

Wednesday, March 21

I must say...

That Hubby is getting on to be very good at giving comments with my pick of clothings recently!

I showed him a dress from Forever 21.

Me: Nice not? =)
Hubby: nice to see, but i think you wear liao like have bb like that.
Me: eeewwww...

He IS improving lei! He used to just say. "U want to buy ar? Have so many already!"

Same massage packaged in a different way and yet I am so darn happy!

And the said dress in question?

This!

I think... I talk too much. =(

This morning, just before I came to work, hubby woke up to kiss me "bye" and nice day ahead and he added something which I find rather funny...

He said I sleep talked last night. I was not very surprised since this is not the first time it happened. What surprised me was that this time, he can actually HEAR what I was saying though he cannot make head or tails of it.

He said he heard "this one very cute." and to be honest, I have no idea what prompted that statement from me la. I cannot remember dreaming of anything cutsey last night lei.

The next statement had me bursting out in laughter... Hubby heard "I'm very tired."

hahahaha... Gosh.... I must be really really tired. Even when I'm sleeping I can still mutter a "I'm tired." Really is champion lei!!

Thursday, March 15

No news is Good news?

Hmm... It's already been a few days since Hubby went for the interview... still no news.... Does it mean that no news is Good News? Or does it mean that the job search for Hubby continues...
=S Hope can know the verdict earlier to end this horrifying waiting game.

Or does it simply mean that I am too kan cheong??

Tuesday, March 13

Interview at Jalan Pesawat.

Finally after so long, being call up for an interview. I guess this is the job which has been waiting for me, or I should say the job I have been waiting for. It is a regional sales executive, something which I wanted to try out, but not very sure if I can do it well. Anyway, if I really get this job, I will do my best to make it this time. :)

Happy Time.

Picture says a Thousand Words right? So, can guess what this it? Yups, the chinese character for "double happiness" and when will this appear? Weddings! =) Hubby and I just came back from Serene & Sunny's wedding dinner at Carlton Hotel. This is my 2nd wedding dinner there, in the same ballroom too!

I cannot remember much about the ambience... neither can I remember the "Wedding Favour" of the previous couple who got married there...

Serene and her new husbad's "Thank You Favour" is rose buds in test tubes, tied in red organza. So pretty. At first glance, we really thought it was Test Tube rose or something like that.. Till we looked at the instructions, then we realised that it's rose buds for making tea! So clever lor. My "cleverity" at work again. =S

I must say, this time round, the food served is good! We enjoyed it every much! =) And, a few of our friends did not turn up, end up, our table only have 7 adults... then halfway, only left with 5, since another couple had to leave earlier to get ready for their drive to JB for golf. Sooo good!!! Can go short holiday.. I also want.. but holiday I don't have... school visit bright and early, I have! =(Thank goodness Lyn and Max were there too and they gave us a ride back, else, we got to take public transport and reach home at goodness knows what time and tomorrow (or rather later) is a working day too. Worse, since I have a school visit early in the morning, must reach office earlier than normal lei! So, all in all, still very blessed that we have a ride home. =) Tks Max and Lyn!

Before going for the dinner, Emma, Hubby and I went for the Sunset Mass in Good Shephard, since we were all lazy to go to CTK for mass in the morning, go home and then go out again. So we decided to go for the last mass and best is that Good Shephard is diagionally opposite to Carlton. Even the timing for mass works perfectly for us! So very happily, we all met up for mass.

Emma bought me this... Some sort of shimmering eye shadow. Which I think is gaining popularity in Taiwan and I heard Korea?Anyway, she got me if for me to try. Have'nt used it yet. But the name sounds so yummy... FONDUE Shadow. The only Fondue I know is that kind where I dipped my fruits/ice-cream/mashmellows into a pot of warm chocolate and pops it into my mouth kind.. I'm sure gonna try how out this Fondue Shadow will taste..opps! LOOK on my eyes!

I saw the brochure of Bobbi Brown and purple seems to be the 'in' colour this season... I must go and update the colours of my cosmestics! =)

Upset.

Yar... upset at hubby now... not very upset, just not happy and feeling pissed off with him.

I know that when he go meets his potential clients and do presentations, instead of just using the normal file, it will be good to do it with a notebook, so I also bloan him my tablet when he needs to go for these meetings as long as I do not need to bring it with me to class for that particular day.

Last week, when he brought it out and came home with it and just left the tablet on the table, I was feeling abit unhappy, coz that same day, I'm having Stats and that is the 1 class that needs a notebook occasionally. I was hoping to bring it with me to class that day. But when I came home, I saw that hubby just left the notebook on the table without charging for me, this left me with no choice, cannot bring to class, I just left the issue as it was. Just told him, next time, use already remember to charge the battery.

Today =( since I went for class, hubby was working on my notebook. When I came back and switched on my tablet, I saw this on my desktop.

=(

Not that I am particular, but hello... this is my tablet right? If he needs or wants to install or download anything, should he not at least say somthing? I'm ok with the 2 wine folders, coz that's easily deleted and won't take up too much space.

What irks me is that without even informing me, he install some program into my tablet! When I asked, he said that it's the program to view/convert somthing into MP4 or something like that.

I hate it. Coz,
1) it clogs up my desktop.
2) it takes up the space.
3) my tablet when running a few applications is slow and unstable, the program will shut down by itself.

I don't want to load too many things into it coz I really want to delicate it to just plainly for my studies. Without all these new things, I won't be so distracted.

Bottom line, is that since hubby has his own PC as well, granted he cannot be bringing his PC out for the presentations, he still does not need to load extra programs into mine!

I guess, for those of you who are reading it will probably say that I'm just being fussy and particular. He is my hubby lor, need I be so particular with all these?? I know this too, but I still feel upset that he has done it.

Does anyone have a clever explaination to this??

Please enlighten me... Am I being selfish and fussy? I think I am. But can I not be so particular and selfish??? That.... I don't know... Am I willing to try to be less of so... I guess I can, but, the thing is, DO I want to. =(

phone call yet again...

There must be a certain reason(s) why FIL likes to call me.

But believe me, I'm not sure what that particular reason is.

Over lunch with Godma and Bro (we were celebrating Godma's bday) in Sakae Sushi earlier, before my butt even warm the seats, I got a phone call. Saw that the number belongs to PIL's home, I made the decision to not answer it. I know it's bad. But hello.... whatever you need to say, can call hubby right?

But FIL will like to call me and ask about hubby... hai... I feel so trapped. On one hand, I don't want to share things about Hubby with FIL, since he is bound to get worried and concern and then nag. On the other hand, if I do say, then I'm not being 'loyal' to Hubby and worse, later FIL will wanna dig more and more.

So the best? I don't answer lor. Then I don't offend anyone. I know I got to make the call back, so I did. After my lessons ended, I called Hubby and asked him to get FIL to the phone. I know with Hubby there, FIL won't say much. So I'm spared.

But! This trick cannot be used once too many lor.

Next time how ar? =S

A date with hubby.

Ever since I started on my programme, it's been a long time since Hubby and I went on a date (of any sorts)!

Decided to take a break for once and we went for a nice dinner in The Cathay. This was my first visit there and looks promising even though most of the shops not opened yet.

Dinner was in La Zesto. And the restaurant was so empty, we were the only ones inside! We had the Pork and Garlic Sausage, Sardine Fish Sandwich and a Peanut Butter Latte. Erm... Looks nice.. but tastes... very normal. Not sure how the sausage tasted, I did not eat that though. Pricing wise... for these 3 finger food.. costs close to $15.. Is that normal? Reasonable? Very long never eat out lei. hahaha... and we just came back from a date earlier with 300 valor Spartans. =) "Based on the epic graphic novel by Frank Miller, 300 is a ferocious retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae in which King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes and his massive Persian army. Facing insurmountable odds, their valor and sacrifice inspire all of Greece to unite against their Persian enemy, drawing a line in the sand for democracy. The film brings Miller's (Sin City) acclaimed graphic novel to life by combining live action with virtual backgrounds that capture his distinct vision of this ancient historic tale." Source from GV.

From the text, can already guess there's lots of fighting, blood sprewing glory details PLUS sexy, hard bodied (some good looking), mussles rippling men!

I guess for hubby he enjoyed it very much. Me too, not just the fighting and all, I especially LOVE gawking at those bodies! They are awesome mann... Opps.. I mean men! hahaha..

2nd last day of CNY.

Had a small gathering at our nest for a few of my colleagues. A total of 6 came over. And as usual, the group pic is short of 1... coz he's holding the camera. =)

Then very sadly for me, I had to rush off coz I had a make up class (hengz, Mervlyn came to fetch me.. else I have to leave even earlier!!)... leaving the rest to continue yakking.

Following my lessons will be the group discussion for the project and then have to rush back home coz we'll be heading to Yishun for another round of gathering. This time, at the home of one of our church friend.

And her home is... WOO YOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very very nice!!! Sorry no pics coz, there's sme prior arrangement with the designer.. hence... cannot take. But trust me, it's W-O-W!
