Unbloggy

I'm not updating as often as i want to because there's always something else to do. Trying to work and rest hard too. I am only halfway through the Princess hours dvd anyway. There's not much time to squeeze in to watch it and if i do, i'll need 3hrs cos i just can't stop the dvd!

Taking leave on friday..yay! thou shalt not work. the problem with bringing work home is that it feels like you're working 24hrs. and i hate it that my customers call me unearthly hours. so picking up the phone isn't exactly always a fun thing to do...because i would anticipate what bad thing has gone wrong this time. it's mostly 80% bad and 20% ok.

so i'm unbloggy because i would rather watch tv or even work(!). no time no time lar...

Princess!

I feel like i have lots to update but just hadn't had time to. Work is like madness and still ongoing such that i feel like i'm lagging behind. wonder why there's like neverending things to do & coordinate...and neverending problems as well.

So i'm like deliberately trying to take a break from it all...aka minimize the amount of work i do at home. all i do in my free time is try to work and try to remember all the nitsy bitsy details i better not forget.

and so..my mum on her surprise trip on sunday to our place, passed me the dvd for Princess Hours!! (3 discs only because she hasn't finished watching the 4th disc then) and when u start u can't stop. i wish i have the luxury of time to watch it alll!!!

Looking forward to some holidays without worries of my work...not likely? they day i have holiday is the day no one is gonna call me and disturb me with work stuff. wonder when will be the day i come home and finally get to unpack my stuff...and do boliao things. maybe i should take leave next week...hmm...

and this year's civil servant's bonus is so woah that i wish i am a civil servant too...buahaha. oh whell...too bad...there's a time for everything...and money isn't everything but it's still something you need to survive. wonder why the older we get the more things we have to pay for, and 'save' for and return money for.

christmas is coming....

Happy 1st anniversary to us!

We are 1!
(sounds like some sale advertisment..."We are 1! 10% off all items")

oh no lah...It's our 1yr wedding anniversary...like some birthday..haha. we had our some of brothers and sisters in church wishing us happy anniversary. but so sweet of them to remember too :)

we managed to taichi all appointments away on sunday...so we can have the whole day together after church. and we almost did. our parents are like asking us out to have dinner and feels like everyone wants to meet us on this anniversary day! so we had steamboat at my in-laws place on saturday...and even my mum & sis managed to surprising pop by on sunday night itself.

eventful as it is we didn't really do super drama stuff or super romantic stuff. went to buy groceries together at ntuc. stocked up good enough tidbits and food for the night's dinner. and when we came home, we just couldn't help it...we did the housework, packed up stuff, fixed the kitchen drawers & ikea rack, vacuumed, washed the clothes etc. (how eventful right?) haha...but we felt so satisfied after cleaning up the house.

dinner was the highlight. ah...

On the menu: mashed potates, honey chicken (we bought this though), garlic baked cod fish with asparagus & abalone mushrooms, and grape juice.

and we wanted to have choc ice-cream with fruits as dessert (and Ww was like so eager to eat he wanted to he even b4 i finished my own dinner!)
oh but...we had a mini surprise..

mummy & meimei bought Cedele's carrot cake for us. whow! so we ate that instead and this carrot cake is really super duper delicious!

you know...i've got more and more candles at home because of the birthday parties at my place so far and still ah...we don't have a lighter to light the candle! (the first time i had to borrow from my neighbour, the 2nd time someone had a lighter..heh..otherwise i gotta borrow frm them again) i really gotta remember to buy one someday!

One year seems like so fast! Thank you Lord for the many things we don't deserve...for the love and blessings that you have showered on us; for giving us love, that we can learn love each other; for teaching us that you matter most; for showing us a glimpse of heaven; for giving us each other. it's a great journey ahead...and it's even better because of God.

I've got no time to think of better things to write. gotta sleep le...too much work tomorrow.

nothing much

This is week is all work (and some housework only).

Went to Ww's school musical..woh...it was like really fantastic and just so enjoyable to watch...and quite funny as well. :) the kids are all so cute anyway. 1st time i've seen a pri school musical though but it was great! hard to describe in words but i surely didn't regret going (tho i felt i was wearing a little too casual..didn't have time to go home to change).

and no i'm not pregnant lar..i think it's pms..i eat more during that period (i don't usually go into a bad mood swings). it's also probably work stress and house moving stress...i feel like eating. i think it's my stress-relief method. i love eating. (and now u know what i love taking food pictures) whoops. but if i'm too busy i can forgo eating (i barely had a proper meal till dinner time today).

dunno what's with us...love to take pics in pretty toilets...


i've gotta catch up with lots of unpacking at home...still not done!?!)!

The days i eat tooo much

I dunno what it is but these few days i'm like eating without restriction...almost. i would have cravings for something to eat...and usually something unhealthy, fried or chocolaty, or dessert-y. mayb it's pms. and i'm like so snacky...anything...kitkat in the fridge, or some biscuits, now there's triple chocolate cereal from st.michael. this is not good. i better really start some exercising. i miss swimming though. and the thought of running kinda feels daunting (even though it's a time-saving and very calorie burning exercise thing to do). and i'm joining the standard chartered 10k run..oh dearr...i wonder how i'm able to make it without any training at all!

went to Dulos at Vivo today, to check out their bookfair. ok though...some aren't really cheap. but i bought a book "Cover to Cover", reading the bible in a year (for $4) which i'll be starting it tmr! but interesting...wonder what it's like to travel on the ship.

i can't remember what jeremy was saying...looks "argh". but i think he's being expressive. hehh.

anyway it was a lazy drowsy afternoon and i slept on the bus all the way home, enough to keep me awake later and watch tv. something i haven't done for a while. and with our new home i'm kinda watching a bit more tv because i can record shows i can't watch in time.

nice to be home alone and listening to christian radio on itunes. we have given up listening to our songs in the computer, bored of them already. and music soothes our soul, and Christian music usually have very meaningful lyrics and it makes me think. makes me happy. simple. God makes me think. God makes me wonder. i pray i know how to praise Him more, love Him more, glorify Him more, know Him more...

i'm still feelin so fulllll!!! *trying to burp*

Back with internet

I haven't been posting because
1) i'm just too busy with moving house (really where got time? there's endless things to pack, clean, sort, organize & do)
2) we didn't have internet for a week (because the phone line wasn't activated yet)

Anyway we have more or less settled into our new place quite happily, enjoying it thoroughly, the living room, the deck, our study, our bedroom, the bathroom, the walk-in wardrobe and the kitchen....despite the glass doors still unwiped...every night we go to sleep and we see that glass door looking at us and it's not sparkling clean yet, and i tell myself tmr night i must clean it and the whole process happens again because we still didn't get down to clean it. getting lazy liao...other than the basic cleaning and washing clothes.

there's still lots to do and we aren't sure if we'll be ready for our planned housewarming date. hopefully we would have gotten everything cleaned and packed up by then.

and post-date ping's bday at sake sushi

my Katsudon which was quite a disappointment even tho it looks so pretty. but we had a private room to munch in :)

and club swiss for desserts, great atmosphere but the food is ex (choc fondue for $29..i think i can whip up a better one for much less cost) YP next time i make choc fondue for u lah..with better fruit selections and better tasting chocolate :P


just all of us (the food too small to see)
