• Funny conversations with the husband #6 and #7

    Conversations with the husband #6  Honestly, I don’t really know if the conversations are funny, or irritating and totally a pain in the arse but I choose to see the humour side of things because this is one person that I need to spend the rest of my life with, and my mantra is all about living and being happy so I process everything with a pinch of salt. The husband was irritating the hell outta me earlier and I was on the brink of exploding and trying scheme against him when I suddenly had a *light bulb moment* C: stop irritating me, else I’ll go back home, take your…

    Conversations with the husband #4 Quick update: My little chub chub is still sick and running the possibility of a hospital admission. sigh.

(I saw a really cute girl on the streets and wished I could have a girl..) me: if we had a girl, would you dote…

  • 12.9.2013 The day we celebrate our wedding anniversary & wedding traditions

    der helping to lay my long train beautifully, just before we enter the ballroom for our march-in 3 years ago.a few days ago, we celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary. Has it really been 3 years? Happy 3rd wedding anniversary to us! Life has been really good. 3 years is neither short or long, but we have done so much, spent most days together (other than the days either of us is travelling), started our own family, built our own nest, and survived through squabbles and fights. and by fights, i meant pillow fights because we hardly, ever go to bed angry with each other. sure, it’s aint perfect.. but is…

    conversations with the husband #3

    Conversations with the husband #3 after a super frustrating bedtime routine with a toddler who simply refused to sleep for > 2 hours.. my tempers were flaring and I really was on the verge of strangling him or giving him away to another family. I was so tired, super sick and I badly wanted to grab some rest. so after loads of struggles, cries, whines, disciplinary acts and hugging daddy’s leg. I ignored him for the longest time and he fell asleep.  in the above position, over my blanket but under my bolster.   daddy and I finally sat down to have dinner at close to midnight, packed his school…

    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. photo credit [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…

  • the boy versus the girl.

    the boy and me had quite a few movie dates ever since Jerry was born, all thanks to my mum who babysits Jerry while we sneak out for our movie dates, and some times, just to spend some twosome moments together. yesterday, since the boy was on leave to take baby to the pediatrician, we popped out for a late afternoon movie – transformers: dark of the moon. well, as usual.. we always talk about the movie after. stop reading if you havent watched the movie. spoilers ahead! when the mercedes SLS AMG made its debut appearance in the movie.. der turned over and said, that’s the bad guy (i.e.…

    Day 4 in Bali – Dining in Bali (Last day of Babymoon)

    Weird that I am finishing up my babymoon episode faster than the honeymoon episodes because the Europe trip has many more days to go and there’s just too many details because we were out and about everywhere and it takes a while to write while the bali trip has been nothing but food (dining in bali), eat, sleep and swim. On our last full day in Bali, we headed for lunch at wah wah burger, a restaurant that serves wagyu beef burgers and apparently is one of the most expensive burgers available or that many people has eaten. I do agree with the price tag (that’s it’s exorbitant)! That’s the…

    Day 3 in Bali.. Our Bali vacation –

    It’s my 2nd attempt drafting this and I do hope my phone app doesn’t have any error and eat up my Bali vacation entry like the last time! We had out for lunch in the late afternoon after a short swim. That typically has been our routine for the days spent in Bali.. I was craving for some local food and the cafe (Brasserie & Lounge) that we had lunch the day before do serve them so we headed back there! My caramel mikshake and the standard cola for der. It was a bad mistake because I think I felt sick right after all that milk on a near empty…
