While the man works hard to fund his wife's hopeless craze for shopping,
the woman had her breakie at Coffeebean.
Shall not mention about the roach i found crawling beneath where i sat.
Coz it irks me.

Armed with whatever i can remember from reading Prisc's, i made risotto, with help from HB's of coz!
We started at 5pm but the supposedly 40min of preparation and cooking took us 2 hours instead.
But it was an experience we will hardly forget.
And the man thinks its seriously yummy. He wanted a second round this 31st actually.
But no, coz the fingers smell awfully terrible now.
So while waiting for tonite's xmas pizza (and mahjong later!) with his folks,
let me just showoff alittle what we whipped out last nite.

I wonder whats the best time to prawn?
Coz it seems like we gotten more the first time we tried. And it was in the nite.
Went home with 24 prawns and $75 bucks poorer.
And the HB confesses his 'kick' for prawning.
Maybe i should just get him a prawning rod or something for xmas.
I would have save a few more molas. grin
i got bored and turned to my mag after prawning a couple; (did u notice i cut my hair? i swear it looks nicer than this most of the time)

Though academic grades comprising of mostly Bs and Cs arent anything to hooha about :P
Last friday had been amazing.
We hit town right after i gotten my grades via SMS.
So high tech right?
And the worried me did a double check via the student portal as well, just to reconfirm.
Its too good to be true honestly. Consider i didnt really work very hard for the papers...
xmas pressie comes early this year!
lunch treat from HB at illuma; food and service were really so-so, but we were in too good a mood to pick on that!
loots from Isetan Private Sale and new look suntec; im in a total blue mood that day!
Dress: Denim Tunic with rosette pockets from Wrap
Accessory: 09 red Chanel maxi jumbo caviar
Crocs from Hong Kong

Had almost hit the payment button (for all the oh-so-comfy bra tops in yummy colors) when HB nudged me for his doc appointment.
Am not kidding u when i manage to locate some at cheaper prices when we decided to pop by 313 somerset after that.
(yes! we went public again today!)
Lets all chant Uniqlo together!
The place was in a mess, i wish i can spend as much!
But the recent trip to town had blown a huge hole in the man's pocket.
Im happy with just basic tees my wardrobe is desperately in need of.
I should have taken a couple of pic for today, but the weather was so hot, i just want to dash into any aircon mall. (pout!)
Anywho, i say taking the train is so so easy!
It only took us slightly less than 30 minutes to reach home, catch a tiny nap and were still in time for dinner with the folks! Now, im planning where to go (with my ezilink topped up, no less!) for the rest of the hols!
i honestly like this duck rice from SGH
thats how fab uniqlo's service is, they bother to tape up the tag for all their customers; shades of the ocean and i found a tiffany blue!
closeup of the leggings i swear by even before the brand hits our island!

HB was joking that we should have gotten the monogram series when we were in town the other day.
Can u imagine my disappointment when the entire PP was combed and there was no sign of a decent one, let alone a good mice?
As much as the Razor in pink looks ever so tempting, i say i can think of at least 1000 better ways of spending my $89.
Went home totally in a foul mood, empty handed and a growling tummy.
Dinner was alittle too light.
Gimme the seaweed french fries from Mcdonald anytime! I dun care about the FAT issue anymore!
GROWL
We want Shopping, We want Shopping, We want Shopping!
can u spot yet another tiny scratch mark? i swear its not me!
- Mood:
annoyed
I heart Xmas!
What about you?
Anywho, we met fab SAs today from all 3 stores.
Which explains the splurge from the man.
Impress him enough and you can hear kaching not far away!
HB's initiales damier belt, we finally found the right size at Ion; my early xmas pressie from the man
dun we all love the blue box? i decide on this even though he will rather buy me a similar one set with this tiny stone
and finally, my new toy!
20 more days to xmas! hohoho!
- Mood:
bouncy
Its time to enjoy the well deserved break!
Despite the heavy downpour and everything wet and cheerless, we headed for town.
Its time to do the Xmas shopping anyway.
And what better time than now? Really.
Perfect for its a rainy weekday and HB honestly need to visit the tailor desperately for new working wear!
lunch at Xin Wang Ion
posing with my tivoli
The haul we bought home:
xmas pressie for the folks, besides the LV, the rest are all mine! HAHAHAHA
- Mood: bouncy
Yawn, gotta hit the sack after this.
Still need to wake up early tomorrow.
Its going to be a long day.
Hope everything will goes well! (shall blog more on it in my private entry)
Anyway loots from today's shopping at JL besides the usual lingerie.
And they justify my spending (only spent $55) if not of the entrance tickets to Kitty Lab.
perfect way of spending the weekend away: braving Sitex and people watching with HB
- Mood:
chipper
And i shall spend the next couple of days cramming in all the post-colonial literature theories i can remember.
It is NOT going to be easy, but im doing it!
Ho voglia di fare bene
Devo fare bene

the 1 day old are still bright and cheery!
Were at IKEA getting the 188 glass jars for the coming D&D.
Thanks HB for helping!
Dinner treat from HB at Spageddies Bedok. And so i need to do well for the final paper.
need a fringe cut soon
Butterfish, chicken scallopini and escargots!
Yup, we are cutting down on food!
All things beautiful; the fine beaded details on my new flats
gimme more of them anytime!
- Mood:
determined
Had to have them done this week somehow, coz i will never have the luxury for that come next week. Am crossing my eyes that they will last till next Friday for the D&D.
Its exam first, follow by the prize giving and before i know it, the day is here.
Period.
Anywho, the pedicure session was well spent replying SMS to colleagues tying up the loose ends...
Imagine sending 45 SMS messages within the 1 hour and 15minutes? Pretty impressive i must say!
Bastille My Heart from OPI, i wish my toe nails are longer; anyway, did u spot something really depressing in the picture?
Visited Mustafa like finally this evening. Have never ever been there before in my last 29 years of life.
Today seems like a perfect time since the HB wanted some hot pipping food for dinner.
We decided on Seoul Garden and remembered vividly that there is an outlet at City Square Mall.
To sidetrack abit, the outlet is having 1 for 1 on weekdays besides Friday(though), so drop by for fab service.
At least i did! Attractive servers, charming waiter who topped up drinks so often i lose count...
Its been yorks since we visit the restaurant, i think the last time we ate there was like 5 years ago? I have no idea about the other outlets, but this one works pretty much like Sakae Sushi; click and the staffs will bring over your food. Their mixed berry and oreo vanilla with nata de coco ice cream are yummy. U should give it a try.
Oh right, back to the trip to Mustafa. The place is huge, and honestly, it isnt as bad as i thought.
I would have love to shop alittle longer if not of the rain.
(We took advantage of the free parking redemption at City Square and decided to walk there instead)
There are so many things to see and check out. I am so amaze by the way the cashiers keep the money in their drawer.
So retro, so unseen these days in SIN!
i could barely open my eyes after a week of tough work; the interior decor is so different from what the memory serves us
flushed after all the bbq-ing; there's a halo above my head
thanks to a blog friend, i found the shoes im super smitten to that actually flatters my ankles
its world kindness day, and HB receives 2 gerbera daisies
- Mood:
busy
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
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
- Mood:
happy
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...
- Mood:
calm
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. :)
- Mood:
okay
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...
- Mood:
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
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
- Mood: cheerful
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~
