conversations with the husband #1
am starting this series of “conversations with the husband” to jot down the funny snippets of conversations between the husband and me. I find some of the conversations that we have totally wacky, and some times, just plain irritating. should be fun noting them down.
[was sharing with husb on a girlfriend who had to hint very very hard for the bf to give her a bouquet of flowers]
c: what is it that guys dont get about sending flowers to their girlfriends? (actually indirectly directing the message to husb as well)
d: hmmm… [silence]
c: aiyah, i know already. next time i don’t bother hinting. i should just go select my bouquet of flowers and then enter your credit card details. so much easier, and confirm the bouquet i will like!
d: wah! that’s daylight robbery.
c: no what. it saves you all the trouble you know? and you will always have a happy wife. oh, mother’s day is coming you know? hee hee hee!
d: Ooooi!!!! you go send yourself a bouquet with the money from your sons’ bank accounts. dont touch my credit card. you are THEIR mother, not mine!
———————-
guys: you know what? a flower or a bouquet of flowers will make a girl’s day regardless of whether she likes the flowers a not.. because its the thought of giving or the surprise element that makes someone’s day. it’s not about the money. but of cos, the bigger the bouquet, the wider the smile? LOL.
hopefully, someday, the husband gets it it on the flower bit. and as for mother’s day, i also hope he realises that i bore him 2 sons and went through 18 months of discomfort and intense pain and it was HE who made me a mother.. so all the more i deserve a gift from him… no?
———————-
besides, mother’s day always come before father’s day… so i dont really see how he is going to lose out.

i think he will pretend not to hear me………. then again, he is quite sweet la. averagely, i get about 2 bouquets of flowers each year (v day & birthday).

Hi jas, long time no ‘see’ you. haha. It’s a 4 room, i didnt hack any walls, they are all original. where are you intending to build the walk-in?
Anonymous
hahah..ya…have been a silent stalker. wanted to do in mbr, but my contractor say no space unless my bed is on platform..think i have to give up walk-in already.

where is your flat? These days the space in the rooms are totally not made for walk-in. I’m lucky that i have a small “corridor strip” that i can convert to a fake walk-in.

Sengkang. ya..you’re very lucky to have that space. your place is looking very good. 🙂

I was actually very angry when he shouted the f-word that i glared at him when he walked past me after that. Perfect parenting, really.
Well, i must thank him for an opportunity to learn that next time, i cannot be such a ‘good’ example to my kids. 🙂

as a first time mum, I’ll like more tips and information on raising a happy baby especially in his first year! books are great, but I think seminars are probably the best way to get lots of information at one go. 😛
I’ll take a half-day leave for it. 🙂

I had the best of intentions to doing smth DIY…. But we rather slack… So we ended up buying 10+ boxes of Royce Chocs. Spent a bomb comparatively …
Anonymous
i took the easy way out too! bought a box of 500+ stickers for each teacher in the school, then pack some snacks for the assistant teachers, cook and cleaner. small school, can afford to give all. haha!
i personalized the tag too! but no photo like yours la. simple simple one 😛

Wow! That’s a really cool wedding tradition! Can the cake really keep that long? Btw, you may want to use gladwrap around the cake and in between the cut to retain it’s moisture (prevent freezer burns too!)
Anonymous
My cake is still sitting in the freezer too!
Anonymous
Thanks for the advise! i did glapwrap the cake, but not in between the cut. I should go do that soon! and as for the tradition, i have no idea where i heard it from, but thought its pretty cool too!
