brunch @ house.
last Sunday, I met the usual duo (andy and Cindy) for brunch. its been a long while since we met! Andy proposed house @ Dempsey and I havent been there for brunch so we gamely agreed. Der & me were late. mainly cos we took a while to prep the bub who was cranky and nearing his nap time, and I couldnt head into the bathroom at all after Der left for home to wash up so I had to wait for him to return before I could prep. its still quite a logistical nightmare each time we head out when my mum isn’t home because Der doesn’t stay in…

feeling and being appreciative is an option.
this post is inspired by a close girlfriend of mine. she seemed to be rather unhappy about her marriage and sore with the husband and that ever since kids came along, the husband doesnt pay her as much attention as the kids and she feels neglected. so much so that she’s considering marriage counseling. i mean. that came as a shock to me. i know she does complains occasionally (com’on, who doesnt?!) but to consider going for marriage counseling speaks depths about her unhappiness. and i only found out because she read my blog posts and texted the husband to say that he’s damn sweet to me (with the recent…

the planned “blind date”.
errrmm.. it didn’t quite go that well in the end so i rather not talk about it. i was trying to secretly match make my friends and finally managed to organise dinner and a karaoke session with my friends/colleagues. have been anticipating the day for weeks! anyway, the best laid plans will still be screwed.. so the night didn’t exactly go as planned at all. 1. everyone had dinner plans last minute cos we separately had dinner before meeting up for karaoke. 2. the supposedly “match-make” couple didn’t talk at all! (errr.. i got a feeling that i am going to get scolding if everyone reads this entry) but all…

a little laughter
just remembered a little joke that made me smile this morning. it happened during the car washing trip in JB. we didn’t have a lot of ringgit and it was too late to go to the money changer’s. I had RM$200 and was wondering if it was sufficient for the lok lok meal for 3, car wash and the petrol refuelling for 2 cars, and agnes said, “no worries, i got Rm$100!” and so we went, and after filling our stomach with lok lok, here’s what happened! A: I’ll pay. i got Rm$100. C: Don’t be silly, let me pay. i have more money A: It’s ok. It’s ok. C:…

the past weekend
i seemed to be forever chasing my blog entries these days. i never really get the chance or time to blog when i want to or when i have the inspiration.. and i am beginning to find it a mere ‘obligation’ to update my blog after a while, because i update because i have to. well, don’t get me the wrong way. i’m just feeling obligated to myself because the whole idea of having my own blog is to keep snippets of my life so that i can read it some years later. so, i do hope there’s no long lapse between my entries and my life is being tracked.…

wednesday gone by.
i have to admit, despite being so busy/occupied and having a million things on my to-do list before jetting off in about 36 hours.. i miss the boy! i suddenly had this flash back of the cheeky boy with his tongue sticking out image (long time back) and it puts a smile on my face. the passersby that walked past me earlier must have thought im mad, because i suddenly break into a smile mid-walk on the way back to my cube. had dinner with an old friend (jeremy) yesterday and it was good seeing a familiar face. i think i missed dinners like that lately, and i really should…

the weekend.
these days, the weekend goes by in a flash! the weekend saw more jewellery shopping and it’s no where near improving things as per last weekend. i guess we are pretty decided on the kind of designs that we could consider, the specific ones and possibly customizing one side of it. his side. // friday night. the 3 musketeers go out to play. we popped by greenwood fish market and bistro. WOW! has it been ages since i last went there? the place expanded so much that I almost couldn’t recognise what used to be a cosy nook. and despite increasing the sitting capacity by 200%, they are still turning…

the weekend gone by..
i didn’t know why, but i was totally knackered. all i wanted was to sleep.. but i managed to accomplish quite a bit (as in heading out). finally visited rider’s cafe for brunch. finally because i never quite managed to drag der outta bed for it. also because he is not quite an ang moh breakfast kinda person. andy joined us (he just landed in the morning) so we sorta had quite a bit of fun exploring around the island and me, as usual.. snapping pictures at food. this just got to be my favourite picture of the day…

stretching at my desk.
i am still in the office at this grand hour. just cleared a whole lot of emails and work since the day in the office was spent pretty much on packing. we packed cartons but there are still quite a fair bit to go, so it’s continuation tomorrow. yesterday, by a random occasion, i found out that my colleague was my friend’s wife. OMG! it started when i was putting some premiums into this box for other department colleagues that’s located at her desk and i was telling everyone that it’s like the magic box – for things that are good and new, but yet you need to clear (read:…

uh huh..
the weekend is gone and life goes on…. (hey, it sorta rhymes!) while i was on medical leave last friday, i was drifting in and out of sleep while struggling to get some work done and my ad signed off(!). der was practically staring at me sleep the entire day and he kept urging me to shut the com and get some proper rest. well, the most happening thing was that we caught transformers over the weekend. it was also a healthy weekend because der clocked some miles in his run and we went swimming where i swam 22 laps and did some late night bowling with agnes and friends.…
