In a nutshell...

Nutshell. Because it’s 10 minutes till work ends and I don’t wanna stay a minute longer.

Long weekend. Kite flying, SATC2, tequila shots, super ultimate hangover of 2010 thus far, dinner appointments and miniature ice cream.

And oh by the way…

I quit my job. Yay.

Now all I gotta do is find a new one. That should be ‘easy’. What’s also ‘easy’ is trying to go on a detox plan. We’ll see how that works out.

Every morning...

And I love how you wake up bleary-eyed, and I stare at you bleary-eyed. You roll over and your touch electrifies me, the closeness of which is nothing short of amazing. You mutter “good morning baby” and seal it with a soft kiss.

We go wash up, and you hum But can you feel this magic in the air? It must have been the way you kissed me. Your back faces me as you choose your outfit for the day, and I can’t help it but wrap my arms around you from behind, burrowing my face into your neck, blessed and thankful that every morning you are here beside me.

Accidentally in Love

The weekend in bits and pieces. Party starts at home!

 

Heineken Green Room event @ Scape.

Sunday Brunch @ Brotzeit.

Two hour stroll along Marina Bay Sands. Oh our calves.

Day started with you, ended with you, starts with you again..every single day. Lovin’ it.

Lacklustre

Today I’m sad.

Not sad as in my life is crumbling sad. More like…what now sad. I know the bulk of its cause is me in the office on a Saturday at 830am with nothing to do. Which results in me surfing countless blogshops and profiting everyone else’s bank accounts except mine.

Another part of it was uncovered during our pillow talk last night. Hell, I didn’t even realize that was the case, but on hindsight I think Baby really is starting to know more about me than myself. And in all honesty, it scares me and it delights me at the same time.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m perfectly happy with my babygirl. She just pointed out to me, that socializing is what I NEED to stay happy, that going out drinking and chilling and TALKING with friends instead of just her is part of who I am, and it doesn’t discount my love for her in any way at all. I love her like that, how she knows me, paves paths for me, and not make me feel like I’m selfish for wanting to do so.

The past week we were both pondering about the issue of stagnancy, afraid that there would be nothing more to look forward to. So we planned a whole weekend of meetups with friends, all of which seemed so full of potential, none of which seems to be falling through (by all counts last night at least). Well it’s only Saturday morning, I’m optimistic!

On another note, we caught Shrek! After a mini drama of almost going to the wrong cinema teehee, IT WAS AWESOME! Especially fat pussy and his eyes, always works like a charm even though it’s a repeated scene from the previous ones.

Now…if only I could get to watch SHREK THE MUSICAL! Check out Donkey shaking his thang lol.

Smile

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile

On the flip side…

I want a change of scene. I do not enjoy what I’m doing everyday at work. I do not believe in the cause. I detest a particular co-worker and her lousy work attitude. The work they are doing is great, just not for me. My boss is great, just too bad we met here.

Just waiting for an opportunity to run off and do something more meaningful.

Nom with Love

 

Baby made 爱心早餐 for me this morning because we usually have no time to eat breakfast at home (due to my horrible snoozing habits), and there isn’t any bakary or eatery near my office for me to buy breakfast. She bought extra thick and fluffy white bread with yummy ham and packed it for me. So simple, so heartfelt.

Retrospect

Living together…is actually not much different than not living together.

In fact, we find that we spend even less time together (although if we were to actually sit down and calculate I’d obviously be proven wrong), it just feels  like less time. The bulk of the day is spent at work, apart from each other, missing each other. We’re kept busy at work, so time flies.

We’re settling into a routine, but I don’t mean it in a bad way. If you gave us both a month off from work, to do nothing but be with each other, I’d guess that it wouldn’t be quite enough either.

Prior to me moving over, we had to deal with reactions from both camps. There were those who were really supportive, and those who were super sceptical (wet blanket much). Living together is the one big test of a relationship. I’d like to think that we passed with flying colors, because not only did we not get bored of each other, we’re missing each other even more. If that’s even possible, but I’m telling you, it IS. So yes, I’m a lucky bitch (as was Ke Wei’s reaction when I told her), and so is Baby because we have each other. So so lucky.

I asked Baby what will happen when the chemicals in our brains fizzle and die after 2 years (apparently that’s the timespan for a relationship to wither off). And she replied, “that will never happen, because I fall in love with you again every day, so your two year dateline will never come.”

Go PINK!

The weekend..wasn’t such a breeze. Well it was, but it also wasn’t…the preparations for TWO housewarming parties are NO JOKE.

We had a BBQ party on Saturday. Lesson to learn: the drinks are the most important at any party. We had tons of food stocked in our fridge that night (luckily we could cook the bulk of them for the housewarming the next day haha smart us!) The drinks were mostly polished off though, and we had gotten our guests to bring a bottle each, imagine that!

The only bummer was that we had to miss PinkDot (and I was really looking forward to these year’s furthermore). 4000 people attended, FEEL THE LOVE!! I attended last year’s with 2500 people, so this year’s was massive awesome I bet. Ohwell, with a response like that, PinkDot 2011 is a almost-guaranteed will-happen-again event, so I am gonna make sure I attend that.

To make up for it though, we had our guests come in PINK!

 

My wonderful Wifey who was the cook that day!

 

As with all BBQs, there seem to be a never ending flow of food, but nobody really eats much. So there, at least the smoked duck which we painstakingly slicked and skewered were all gone!!

 

The disaster of a table.

 

Cutie of the night award goes to SHERRY LIM! She’s a tad of a licker though!

 

We brought the party up, and opened a few bottles of wine while putting Mean Girls  on the DVD player. Party ended almost at 2am ohgosh. Weirdly (and this happens every weekend without fail), we woke up at 830am the next morning SCREW YOU BODY CLOCK I wanna sleep in on weekends boohoo

Another round of entertaining with Wifey’s relatives. We cooked up an oily storm in the kitchen with our Salted Egg Yolk Prawns (which was cleaned up as well, confidence boost to cooking skills yay!). And then we had a movie date watching Shrek III  on TV!

 

That was it. Weekend GONE.

Ohwell. Quarter pounder DATE with Wifey in approximately 1.5 hours time!!! Can we say BEEF BEEF BEEF??

Bunny Love

Some updates around the house.

The long-awaited party is tomorrow, omg FINALLY! This weekend will be filled with entertaining and hosting, Saturday with friends, Sunday with Baby's relatives. Oh dear. I'm sure it will fly by faster than you can say "72-hour weekend please!"

Dinner yesterday was mushroom alfredo spaghetti (or the Three Mush-keteers as I coined it because of the triple mushroom combo) and a soft sweet white to complement it.

Our bottle collection grows day by day o.O! The refrigerator is never short of alcohol and beer, an alcoholic's dream.

I think I have a sleeping problem though. Baby says I religiously wake up at 3am and 5am EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. Oh dear. Sometimes I don't even remember waking up :S Poor baby has to coax me back to sleep, before lulling herself back to slumber. A change of pillow perhaps?

Stress Sh-mesh

Planning for our first home party is getting kinda overwhelming. I guess if it's just the two of us and our intended guests (as was the case originally) things would be much easier. We had a theme and a menu going, but somewhere along the way our plans geared and I feel like we got hijacked haha.

I know Baby is often caught in between the two most important women in her life haha. I give in most of the time, but well, it would be nice if sometimes, it were just the two of us.

Maybe I'm more selfish than she is, that's why I could just put down everything and say "ok let's do it" whereas she has her mummy to think about. Not that I don't think about my mum, but I'd say my mum is quite happy to have me off her hands anyway. Plus, my mum really enjoys her own time better traveling with dad or going for her massages than hanging out with my friends.

I can't wait for Saturday to enjoy the work we've done, but I also can't wait for Saturday to be over. If you know what I mean.

Stop Time Please!!!

OH DEARRRRRRRR!

Why does time fly by so fast?? The weekend was just gone in a jiffy, poof, kabam, GONE!

UPSET!

We cooked laksa for lunch yesterday and was just putting together the to-buy list for our party this weekend. Watched a bit of teevee, watched QAF, cuddled, swam ( played water rather), played computer games, surfed the net, read our books, slept, went piano shopping (gleeee, hope we can buy one real soon!), ate bunnies, went grocery shopping...

And it's Monday yet again.

WAILS.

But I know after a few hours, I'll be home with you again. After 5 more days, it'll be the weekend again. And it keeps us moving forward, it keeps progressing, and no time is wasted because I spent it all with you.

Big Four

On Wednesday, Baby had such terrible cramps she had to escape from her packed-like-sardine train on the way to work and sit down at the platform. She called me half an hour later to tell me she couldn't walk and that she was sitting in a pool of sweat but nobody stopped to help her.

I was already outside my office, but I immediately texted my supervisor to get urgent leave, hopped on a cab and was with her within 20 minutes. Took her to the doctor and we landed up with a whole day off to ourselves.

After she felt better and regained her energy, she sorta scolded me like "you can't just run off like this everytime I feel sick"...and I reminded her that she did the same for me couple weeks back when I had asthma and had to take the million tests at the doctor's.
"You're all I've got baby. If anyone is going to help you, it should be me."

I LOVE YOU. Happy anniversary Baby.

Loving through the palates

This is Baby drunk (and shleepy):

i wan to sleep (me: type smmore!!!) so difficult, hmm i dunno. i know i love bab, tats all. (me: who's BAB!!!)

Cooked dinner for baby and mumsies :)


Menu of the day: Mixed Mushrooms in XO sauce, Smoked duck with lettuce, and Wanton soup. YUMMS!

Baby was a happy hungry hippo :)

Pretty in Pink

We finally had a night out last week. For some strange reason, (maybe not so strange since we're getting old haha), we're forever feeling tired and sleepy even though we pack in at least 7 hours of sleep a night. Baby woke up after some warm soju with Jamie and gang, before we headed to our usual drinking spot.

I was just telling her though, that nights out don't seem so fun anymore since we get to spend time together at home anyway, and she totally agreed with me. We don't seem to have enough time together as it is, and the weekend just flew by like that. Can someone please explain why to me!?! Furthermore, we find ourselves strangely gravitating towards the supermarket no matter where we decide to go. :S Is this normal? LOL.

The whole gang was there that night :) Jamie introduced Kyle to us, an exchange student at NTU from Detroit. The funny thing was...Baby and I already met him more than a month back during his first time at Tabs. What's freakier was...we bumped into him again the next afternoon on the train in the same cabin!!! COINCIDENCE OR FATE!

We later ridiculously landed up at some weird Cheena KTV pub along the same stretch, where we got free beer and warm water cos Emmy and Jamie had stumbled in and made friends with the boss. The night couldn't get any stranger. Kyle hopped like a frog and screamed "Penis" and "I'm a lesbian" in the middle of Maxwell, I was hiding my face in my bowl of porridge, wondering whether to laugh or cry. HAHA. But all in all, was a good night!! :)

There's my cutie pie, beside me the whole night. (Pls ignore the zombie behind her :S)How could the night not be good? :) Plus it marked the first time we returned home together after a night out heeeee.

When we got home, we had another surprise because when the lights were on, our rainbow frame was up and hanging in all its full glory :) Waking up the next morning (and every morning) with this and baby by my side wheewheeee, I feel so so lucky everyday.

Shopping over the weekend saw Baby and me getting two tops from Topshop each, and I snagged a pretty pair of pink wedges. They're kinda high and Baby said if I fall down and sprain my ankle I'm banned from wearing heels ever again o.m.g. haha well a girl's gotta learn how to walk in them heels right!! :) Life's good!!!
