U bet, no breakie at all coz the man was out even before i woke up this morning at elevenish.
Food was instant noodle and the apple crumble we bought yesterday at carrefour.
I hardly wakes up without the man watching the telly besides me, but he was up and out early today coz he was planning something really sneaky.
Hence, no food, no HB, no cheer for the whole of the sunday.
Except for the yellingS from the irritating neighbor next door.
Am finally done with the 2 reports i have been brushing off for the whole of this weekend.
Its tedious work and when the HB suggested me doing them on Friday nite, moi declined flatly.
I so deserve to just park myself in front of my current read then.
Not to mention the final paper which is coming up the Wed after this.
Plans were to start 'flipping' alittle this weekend, but i didnt even have the time to iron the man's shirts!
Fortunately he has a full month supply to get him going.
I will iron next Sat and starts the revision on Sun. I promise.
Alrighty, enough of ranting from the silly old woman.
So what is this sneaky project the man was undertaking?
the before
and the after; see how dark outside was after Lance is finally done up?!
So there, weekend gone with the wind.
We only have a meal today, and thats the packed rice the man bought when he was on his way home.
U tell me, why am i still so fat?!
- Mood:
cheerful
1) On Food
2) On Shopping
3) On how a beautiful saturday should be spent
It can be so easy; when expectation is lowered
Devoted the whole morning with the last few chapters of "Mistress of the game" while the man was out busy making appointments for Lance.
Arent terribly impressed with the ending (well there isnt any, strictly saying) and what can u say when an amateur like me detected errors such as "Singaporian" and "thick, blond mop of old", when it should be "gold"?
Anywho, none that i can think of can really replace the great Sidney Sheldon. I say i will give it a 2.5 out of 5, really.
We had a simple dinner at Lerk Thai Marina Square this evening.
Im trying to keep to my resolution of blogging less on food since even the face seems rounder and fuller these days.
But i simply have to blog about this particular staff from L.T.
We have always enjoying dining at this particular Thai chain. Staffs are always attentive and polite, maybe its just how they treat one another back in their own country. The one who was leading us to our place was all lovely and pleasant. But i cant say the same to the one who took our order.
Upon hearing we are sharing our orders, he had asked rather loudly do we need extra plates for them.
Be it sensitive or whatever, i dun see the need for him to repeat the sentence "Do u need extra plates since you are sharing your food" at two occasions. (roll my eyes) I mean we already had an empty plate each.
Anyway maybe im too passive... Or i should have say yes to the request...
A older Caucasian couple came in asking for a window seat when its packed with diners. However none is available. Can u imagine the same staff walking to yet another couple and requested them to give out their window seats?!
The HB was saying that if a similar situation happens to us, he will have walk out of the place immediately. I guess the young couple is simply too kind hearted. If not of their lemon glass drink which resembles mum's, i will not bear with this either!
we didnt opt for a window seat, prefering having a cosy cushion corner; all time must order: Seafood papaya salad
we were sharing these, and its when the staff started to be rude
delicious bee hoon and 6 pcs tago
i look tired with no makeup on
Actually we were out xmas tree shopping. IKEA has some lovely live ones which will be really difficult to get rid of after the festive season. Had wanted to check out the ones in Carrefour, but they arent catching the man's attention. We ended up going home with no Xmas tree; but a new head gear for my coming D&D.
i hope this will look good for the event; posing with my newest love! Isnt she yummy?
Speaking of which, outfit for today was this long jersey dress i bought awhile but didnt have the chance to wear as yet. Because of this spidery coweb straps in front which totally spolit the look, i have them sewn together while the man was getting ready.
the before and after
am counting down to xmas!

So there, meet my #3.
I swear I am officially on bag-ban for the rest of my working
Thanks to the ever-so-kind HB, i can finally bring my NDS and a paperback out again.
So here it is:
My 09 Red Maxi Flap in Caviar
The red is in a lovely shade of fuchsia!
Meet the recent enquired family of mine
In case you are grumbling (if u have one) and wondering (if ur thinking of getting one) how well a medium flap works, meet my black doubleflap lambskin i used for work these days:
Am not joking when i said i can even put in an apple for my daily 4.30pm snack.
bundled nicely along with the rest of my life

Hate waking up tomorrow. Hate the Monday Blue.
Hate thinking what to wear to make myself feel better...
Anyway, its been a lousy week.
With Pucci warded to Mount Pleasant for a nite on Tues.
Tons of exam papers to be marked over the weekend. Yada Yada Yada.
But the fact that i got to pick 2 PM figurines the HB bought me as our anniversary pressies never fails to cheer me up!
And we finally watched a movie after months of sticking to the DVDs.
MJ deserves better than the Blu Ray honestly.
Minus the fact the huge lady in front of me who was swaying along with all the songs i had to pat her on the shoulder, its a great show! Go watch it! If you a fan like me, or not a fan like the man.
Happy tots for the week:
met the gals for dinner last monday at New York New York AMK Hub
first up: 2010 members' only figurine; look how sweet the pout is
2nd: Bought the newer version of the O21, after all the in house discount provided by Jessie, HB paid only $61.10 for this
3rd: The man was rather skeptical that i might get a double of this, i swear i dun have this yet; look how the sandals resemble my Chanel
MJ tee from last nite's movie; coloured tights from PP Isetan; only $5 each!
lashes still very intact after a week!
some jealous freak scarred lance so badly he needs a new paint job soon; boo boo!
Shame on you, whoever you are!

listless
We were watching the telly last nite when he started rolling and trembling on the floor for a couple of seconds.
The FIL was so worried that he had held him tight immediately, with Pucci cuddling the owner like a kola bear, while shivering.
But he seem okie after awhile and even response to 'kaikai' with a cheerful tail wave.
We had thought he was alright and was perhaps having a nitemare or something.
I wasnt aware that he was running a fever today.
While i was bitching with the gals over dinner at AMK hub, the poor dog was sent to Mount Pleasant by the folks for blood test and everything. I should have come home straight after work, sensing the difference in HB's SMSes.
He kept telling me Pucci is okie, when he is seriously not. Im so angry with myself now.
Im not ready to face anymore loss, Dio, ti prego benedica tutti i miei più amore.
Pucci Baby, get well soon k?

angry
Coz we were up early, visiting the Bugis temple with the inlaws, rounded up with one of the most delicious Thai food we ever had at some coffee shop nearby. U tell me, pineapple rice for 4 person priced at $5, along with 3 other side dishes, the father inlaw paid only $18 for everything.
I ate enough, swear to begin the diet plan from today onwards. (am sharing the takeaway subway with the HB for dinner in awhile; to disgress alittle, i think of London whenever we eat subway.)
After dropping the folks home, we set off for City Square Mall, located 15 minutes away from where we stay. Nothing really fab since most of the shops arent exactly open for business yet, except for the many eating places and my all time fav Metro. (we even shook hand with Mr Batman. Didnt take any picture though despite the SA wanting us to as the man prefers the Astro boy. But honestly between you and me, i kinda like Batman the most among the rest of the super heroes. Simply coz he is the richest, hah hah!)
Anywho, we bought the MIL 2 tees, and i managed to snag home a black chiffon top and another tier dress which will be so perfect for the new week. And oh, if ur a fan of kose white mask, do go down and grab yours! They are selling like hot cakes at $18 each only. (Im not sure of the usual price, but im very sure its very much cheaper since every customer is only entitle to buy 2!) Also spotted is the limited edition kit and makeup bag KOSE has collaborated with Kitty Lab, the exhibition will be on next month at the Singapore Expo, are u going? Well i am!
Im also uploading my newly 'implant' eyelashes for all to see. I thought they look pretty good since i only pay $57 for them. Its just the face washing that is making me crazy! Seriously i hope they dun drop off so soon, though i have already found one strand on my shoulder awhile ago. Boo boo.
i hope these work well
And for those who shows their concern after my previous post;
Im trying to live with my fats, so dun worry too much for me.
Pink of health is definitely more important at this age!

It doesnt help when i met an ex-partner when doing PSLE marking the other day.
Called it insensitive or whatever;
"Gosh, u look tired. It must be the weight u put on. U had looked better last year... yada yada yada..."
Ya right, a perfect way to start a day, i must say.
Anyway, im declaring how much i adore Ade in this post as well.
Gal, ur a total gem! Thanks for standing up for me when the nasty comments were made.
I totally appreciate this! Love u!

The HB and I headed for the much looked forward to Expo Metro Sale.
Went home totally satisfied, armed with Friven's anti dust mite bedlinen protectors, clothings and more clothings.
Have i already mention clothings?
Monday was spent over at my folks, shopping at CWP in the afternoon.
Looted 3 new reads using my diner card's popular voucher for the next few days of PSLE marking.
Its such a steal, everything had only cost me $30!
Alrighty, im feeling super lazy already.
Pictures next!
a case of super bad water retention on a beautiful sunday mid day, i hate this!
the family
the crystal shines on us; i heart this pair of shoes, perfect for work!
discovered these honey pots at CWP's watson, ideal for my committee members after the annual dinner and dance; my new reads!
cupcake treats from crystal jade, i bought 2 boxes!
- Mood:
FAT
I must say its a rather interesting experience; for it beens yorks since i take a train.
Didnt even know where to tap the card and was 'bump' rather painfully not once but twice by these plastic gantry.
But still im pretty impressed with the newer train cabins. I swear we shall go public more often next!
No more worries for hard-to-find carpark lots and scary ERP rates.
I declare public transportation to be so convenient in SIN!
Minus the medial report, we had a pretty good afternoon exploring the newly open ION.
Lunch was at this jap restaurant - Watami.
Food are decent for their price, (we spent only $32.30) and services are thumb up!
Will go there again anytime!
while waiting for the food, we were so caught by the lovely ambiance
the hungry man ordered a katsu toji lunch set while i had the doris kaise, all with complimentary salad, miso soup and drinks
shared this choco brownie and ice cream; smooth and yummy, a must try that is if u still have space for them
Popped by their new LV to check for the availability of the new initiales damier belt in black.
I called NAC last week and they told me the 110cm are all OSS for now, and that ION's might still have them in 100cm.
Unfortunately, the SA who was serving us wasnt the better ones:
First, the firm assurance that her store doesnt have any, and when we started to leave, said she might have them. She came back with a black 105cm and 110cm in brown.
The HB was so unhappy with the service, he decided not to buy it afterall.
I really think its high time Louis Vuitton sends their staffs for a refresher course on customer service. At least i dun have to endure this snobbishness when im in Chanel or Gucci...
Anyway, enough of ranting on these LV SAs whom many of my friends are also very displeased with.
I reported back to school on tues with the gift HB sent me last week.
Its this cute table display and a cuddly plush monkey.
We nick named him 348 and im carrying him around in my work bag for extra luck.
348 with the table display, i hope it doesnt wither since im going for my HCL marking this entire week
Its Don's 19th birthday tomorrow, the folks have reserved a table at Pearl River Palace for brunch.
The young chap got himself a nikon D90 for his birthday.
As much as im dying of thirst with all the drooling, the HB thinks the sony A330 is good enough for an amateur like me.
And so thats what i shall be getting with next year's LDS fund. Tee Hee...

Seriously, i had enough of mui-fan;
the infamous food for a patient, and ready for anything spicy and comforting.
The man has been most kind to bring me out for some light breather.
Clogging at home just doesnt seem to work well for me.
I need sunshine, some running around...
And oh, please throw in some shopping if possible!
Dinner awhile ago was somewhere near his workplace; (totally not worth mentioning)
We were drawn in by their mini porridge steamboat, but ended up having their 'mala' steamboat instead.
Except that there were only 3 groups of diners within the restaurant, and we were 'hinted' to leave at 9.30pm despite a staff telling me that the last order was at 10pm.
Food is so-so, service is not any fab either.
Even the man thinks the place will not last till our next visit, that is if we have absolutely nothing else to pick from.
the place is steamily deserted
Somehow we were spotting the identical shades of browns and reddish lips
Its no secret i adore my man.
He knows my reluctance to go home and face my TMA.
And so had suggested having a quick stroll around the practically deserted China Square, with me drooling over the double flaps outside a tiny second-hand bag store. (Nobody is open for business on weekends here!)
The nite was rounded up with a car spin down geylang (when we could just headed for Nicole Highway for a quicker route home) and now i am getting ready to just input alittle for my TMA due on tuesday.
Late photos uploaded:
moi with the whatever they sticked on me while i did ECG; the get-well hamper from my school
So in the midst of nursing back my health, i shall strive to do well for my final TMA.
Thanks to all who facebooked and msned me, non ti preoccupare, mi andrà bene. :)

Napping away. Despite being a Friday and i should be at work.
Had been experiencing this chest pain since last sunday.
The silly me had simply brushed it aside thinking it would just go away.
But i was so wrong.
It got so bad i could hardly breathe, and i started feeling dizzy when teaching in class.
I began to feel all nervous, coz somehow the left chest looked slightly swollen as well...
The HB drove us to SGH (back so soon) after work.
The whole procedure had taken us the entire evening and its already close to 11pm when we finally had horfun from the coffeeshop near our place.
Thankfully the waiting time was slightly shorter as compared to the time HB was there.
But the temp staff demanded for my work permit when the previous staff failed to write down that i had only my driving license with me. (I lost my identity card once and had paid an expensive lesson, never am i bringing it out unless i really have to)
I was so mad when she didnt seem to understand me (i was REALLY in pain) that i blurted out nastily whether she needed me to go home to collect my IC, when one is dying...
After X ray, ECG, blood test and waiting for the result, the Doc (with this lovely English accent) assured me its just muscle inflection that affects the respiratory system. He saw how nervous we were and kept assuring us that i will be okie. Phew.
Am scheduled to visit the Respiratory Department 2 weeks later, and meanwhile, no work for the next 5 days.
I missed receiving the flowers HB sent to school today. Its our 3rd ROM anniversary. Thank God for colleagues who called and volunteer to water them.
Happy Anniversary to me... and the flu bug who arrives this morning...

sore
But weather was bad. And there is no sign of the celestial body.
Seriously, i have looked everywhere.
Anywho, something to share:
I was woken up by my bio-clock early this morning, thinking its a working day.
Gosh, had even hit the man hard on his chest, telling him we were late for work, till he grumbled loudly "yeah right, its Saturday and ur late for work."
Oops, it must be the stress coming from the recent work. (totally embarrassed)
#PX-6 eyelashes + Heidi Klum glitter eyeliner from victoria secret
Saturday lunchie was at Kim Gary Vivocity. Its our first visit and food is tasty enough.
Now, if only their yuan yang is thicker and creamier...
Had also wanted to grab some last minute mooncakes for the folks. But whats left were either the very expensive or the not-so-well-known brands...
The HB ended up shopping at montagut and left 30 mins later a happy man with 4 brand new shirts for work :)
My hot and spicy noodle is perfect on a rainy afternoon; while the man seeks comfort in the chicken chop
Headed for the nearby Keppel Bay for some 'couple-time' at TCC as vivo was overly populated with kids running around.
The man cant stands crowds too well.
do excuse the coffee stain; his coffee and mine
the man was getting bored due to the rain; the orangery lighting is no good for photo taking
stayed till 7pm before heading back to MIL's for dinner and more mooncakes
- Mood:
awake
Didnt do exactly well for the first one. At least i think so!
While one's complies to the 100 words requirement, i wonder why are the others writing paragraphs after paragraphs? Anyway, im still sticking to the word restriction.
Rather to play safe. I guess. Its my final lap, jokes aside please.
Alright, back to the lighthearted side!
signed off note that makes me tingle all inside;
the concerts and everything else had finally ended with a good punch!
and i told u i deserve a pedicure treat, OPI in a lovely shade of metallic "Copper Mountain Copper"
Manage to also purchase the foot cream i swear by for the longest time but has since gone missing for awhile.
I have their callus remover for at least the past 5 years. They have really good foot products.
My wedding band is back! Customized and totally shiny! Yippee!
They even showed me my previous ring to prove the one im getting is brand new.
had dinner at this Jia Xiang Kuching Restaurant while waiting for Jason to come back from his.
The food is acceptably yummy, but a tad too pricy for my liking since this had cost the man $30++.
spot my new toy? Its a gift from HB!
stopped by watson after that as i have been itching to try the bubble mask from follow me. Its 1/4 of what i paid for my previous oxymask.
- Mood: bouncy
Coz its Children's Day and i think its better to drop by school earlier to check that the am concert is running okie.
Its been a crazy day; running around in my slippers, making sure that the gifts are packed and ready for distribution.
That the hall decor is up and the concert items are in the correct order.
I say its definitely more challenging than the previous Teachers' Day celebration!
But nothing is impossible with my team of committee members!
Up next: Prize Giving and Annual Dinner. Continuez comme ça!
I need a well deserved pedicure treat this Thursday. Final.
something sweet for all who help to make the celebration a success
- Mood: bouncy
With moi reporting to school at 7.30am for the oral duty, and the man having his first paper at 9am.
While trying to keep awake for the rest of the day, moi cant wait for the day to end so that i can meet HB for dinner and mooncake shopping at CWP.
Had dinner at Siam Kitchen after suffering from a sever case of craving for Tom Yum. :)
they have really delicious thai food; and HB still manage to look incredibly awake; i wonder why?!
Gotten mooncakes from breadtalk for the folks this year. The festival is just around the corner, and we hardly have the time to drop by Takashimaya. Please dun ask me hows the taste though; im never a fan for mooncakes with all the yolks, they are so sweet they often give me headache.
The evening ended with the renewal of my PM membership with jessie. Its beens yorks since we metup. She counted and told me its been a year. OMG.
Anyway i was awfully disappointed that the figurine for next year is nothing to hooha about. But the figurine the HB picked is! And i wasnt even aware that i had in fact blog about it awhile ago!
Here i present: (You capture my heart #840063)
arent they such sweetie pie? In fact, he is holding a digital camera!
Something that makes me smile on a super blue monday:
She drew me in my actual attire for today but i have no idea why is there a tiara on my head

Zoom past before i can even say Halleluiah.
Marked pretty much all the worksheets i had been lugging home for the past weeks.
And now i shall direct my red pens towards the workbooks in school from tomorrow onwards.
This is going to be a real short post as the man is just beside me studying hard for his papers tomorrow.
Good Luck, love!
A pass from u means a jumbo caviar for me! Wohoo!
what the man made for breakie today, yumz~
- Mood: awake
Still up coz i just woke up.
Had dinner over at the in laws' before napping for 3 freaking hours in my living room. I was so exhausted from all the early meetings.
And while the HB covered the last of his common law modules, i snored hard.
So now i am getting oh-so-ready for my midnight fight with the email replies, lanyard designs for the coming Children's day (In fact, we are so late already!), concert items, school newsletter, the coming annual dinner and dance...
The list can just go on and on.
But im not complaining, actually im quite a workaholic. i work pretty well under stress.
Its just the man im so worried of. He is scheduled for a CT scan tomorrow morning. I wish i can just be around, but i cant. The vendor is coming at 10am.
Thankful for an understanding HB. Please get well soon love!
- Mood:
thankful
1) Net surf my life away on Friday nite
2) Mark / Eat / Shop on Saturday
3) BBQ with HB's colleagues on Sunday
4) Post my assignment entries on the discussion forum on Monday
I guess plans are never meant to be followed. We ate pretty late on Sat and i did no marking at all the entire long weekend.
The BBQ was cut short when the HB got this pain near his tummy and back. It was so painful i had to rush the man to the SGH in the middle of the nite. My poor baby... He was in such pain, but still insisted on coming back to shower before heading to the hospital. Yeah right, we smelled wonderfully of chicken wings and satays.
It was really 'early' in the morning when we came home. After the doc injected him with morphine and kept him under observation for another 2 hours. Well, thank god he is okie now. (phew!)
Its been a tough period for the family really. Honestly i can really count with my hand the numbers of time i had visited SGH's A&E this year; and its barely Oct. These days, i get really edgy when my cellphone rings. Please take good care of yourself peeps!
the lonely lamp posts and my cheapo slippers when one's HB was busy with the charcoal
its been awhile we visited the beach
my man hard at work with the rest of the hubbies; while the wives chat
posing with my bag strap (what was i thinking about?!)
the man had his injection, but no prize for guessing right who was the tired one?
The man is on ML for the rest of this week. And i came home from work with these in the fridge!
- Mood: awake
Its final, i will most probably settle on a jumbo (or a maxi jumbo; if there is stock for it) rather than the GST.
Dinner was so late at close to 9pm. The HB brought me for a car spin; we had wanted to go somewhere really cozy for steamboat as it had been raining since the nite before. But everywhere we tried were packed. I guess everybody else was having the same craving due to the weather!
We settled on ramen instead. Spicy thai for me, and sichuan for him.
while the man waited impatiently for his order
he decided to take pictures of the wife with and without her new specs
and shared the yummy beancurb and claypot chicken
Goodnite for now peeps. Am going to watch "Coco Chanel" on DVD before turning in.
Thanks to the man who manages to grab a copy from amazon!
