Conversations with the husband #19 – I don’t need your opinion.
[Update: 2 Aug 2020 – Found a draft post dated exactly 4 years ago, and thought, might as well post it anyway.] Shopping with hubby on my birthday. Hubby was trying to be sweet and asked if I needed him to stay around while I shopped. I said no. He said, but I can offer you my opinions on the garments. I said, I actually don’t need the opinions.. I just need the money to pay. If you have the money to spare, you may stay. Husband scoots off immediately. Hahahah! Thanks husband, that’s *really* sweet of you.

Conversations with the husband #17 – Just telling you only.
It’s been more than a year since I wrote about a conversation with the husband. It is not that the conversations are not happening, more like I am too tired and lazy to write them down. This morning, while we were having breakfast at our dining table… Me: Hey, I am going to Korea with my colleagues next May. Hmm, the exact dates are 13 – 21 May. Husband: *shows a smirk* Me: What? Husband: Next year, I am getting the AP diver watch. Me: Huh? That’s so random. Husband: No ah, just telling you only… (laughs). My trip is happening in 2 weeks and I haven’t even plan yet.…

Conversations with the husband #16 – Praising the wife.
I wrote this Conversation with the Husband post a long while back and totally forgot all about it until I was looking through all drafts. It’s a gleaming gem. I think I didn’t post it cos I didn’t have an appropriate picture. I still don’t, but I guess I better post it now before I forget all over again. Not going to get any picture of the husband in the next 1 week anyway. He is outstation for the week. It happened one day when we were done having dinner at home and the husband was cleaning up and table and washing up.. Der (D): [while washing dishes] Hmmm..do you think…

Conversations with the husband #14 – Sleeping Beauty
We woke up bright and early today. It’s a long day ahead, planing a day out at Universal Studio with my mum and my brother and then, attending a wedding dinner tonight. I was the first to wake, followed by Jerry who insist on snuggling with me the moment he opens his eyes. Gonna love these moments because I know they won’t last forever. I woke the husband and then cheeky Jerry decided to hide under the covers when i attempted to take a picture of him. I keep flicking the covers off only to have him pull it back on to cover his face. This went on for a…

Conversations with the husband #13 – Our Harry Potter
And so, the morning right after my son fell down from the bed and became Harry Potter, the husband and I were both feeling super groggy and sleep deprived but managed to struggle to get to work. That morning, the kiddo looked better and doesn’t seemed bothered anymore, which in my opinion, is super good news. I snapped a picture of him and posted this on Instagram before we left the house. The husband drop me off at the train station every morning and somehow, the following conversation started in the car while driving on the road. D: Eh, you know? You now know have a story for your blog with…

Conversations with the husband #12 – 天使 (Angel)
OK. This isn’t a new conversation but one that has happened maybe a year back or more? I thought I blogged it down before, but I can’t seemed to locate it on the blog (so weird!) so maybe I really didn’t. It’s a really funny and memorable one and I recently got reminded about it while talking to a friend. It happened on a night where Jerry slept early and the husband and I were just chilling around (with our gadgets) in the bed with the sleeping kid wedged between us. D: Look at him sleep. He looks like a 天使 (angel) hor? (looks at kid adoringly) C: Hmmm.. yeah. (the next…

Conversations with the husband #11 – It’s shopping time!
Last weekend, we packed the kids off to their grandparents for an afternoon and was getting ready to go out for ah boys to men musical when the following conversation happened… C: (while I was taking a long time staring at my wardrobe and looking for a suitable bag to match my clothes…) sigh. I have no bags to complement my clothes. I think I need a new bag. D: hmm….(gives me an incredulous look on his face and moments later..) Okay! Let’s go shopping for one later. C: really?! OK! Let’s go! (Playing along cos I know the husband isn’t agreeable and knows that I have way too many…

Conversations with the husband #10 – buying a Samsung note 3.
I have been lemming for the samsung note 3 in rose gold color for the longest time and was totally determined to get it this weekend. It’s officially launched last week and i wasn’t around so i went on a quest today to hunt for the best bargain. I reckon it’s an eye opening experience for the husband. I asked the first shop and he wanted to buy it there and then! I told him he’s mad. I eventually settled it at the 8th or 9th shop that I came across and saved the husband close to 60 bucks. He is a happy man with the moolah saved and I,…

Happy Valentine’s Day & conversations with the husband #9.
It’s Valentine’s Day and happy v day to all my readers out there! Yes, you, you, you and you. I don’t have anything special planned for the day with the husband but we are going to spend tonight at my uncle’s place with family to end the last day of Chinese New Year celebrations. The husband is secretly relieved that his pocket is very safe from a lavish dinner that I might potentially extort outta him. That said, valentine’s day is often an overhyped day and singles on this day often feel felt out. You shouldn’t be, because there is love between family and friends too. Spend the day with…

Conversations with the husband #8
Happy Chinese New Year everyone. I’m back with a quick “Conversations with the husband” post while I try and recover from the post CNY fatigue. It’s been a few days of madness and sleep deprivation and I wished I had taken leave to recover from all these. Definitely don’t feel as young anymore! Will try posting from frequently this week! Conversations with the husband #8 We had an extremely exhausting evening a couple of days ago (pre cny) while managing 2 kids and staying hungry till midnight. It was one of those days that left me fuming for hours and kept questioning myself why the hell I had kids. Believe…
