Wake Up and Smell the Cake

I went for Fang's baby shower today :) Catching up time! I've known these guys for 4 years, some 5 years. But seems like only yesterday we were in university. It's good we're still together :) Suddenly this year, two of us are married, one with a daughter. We're aunties oredi! Officially aunties! It's amazing how time flies.

After procrastinating and searching and searching, I've finally bought the ticket. Now I feel like I should've looked some more. But then! The airfares are crazy! They increase overnight! Literally! Sian ah. Come to think of it, okay lah not so bad. Just have to do a little bit more logistics stuff that's all. After all it's a decent airline, with a cool 30kg luggage allowance. 56 more days. I'm coming!

Home is where the heart is. And it's not here.

I am beginning to like this housework and marketing and cooking thing. Getting used to it. And I'm improving! Kinda fun too! Haha of course it's fun! It's part of being a taitai! Hehehe.

I have THE most disgusting looking hands! Fingers all wrinkled like a dried apple, I could feel the skin being pulled when I stretch my hands. It's horrible! My skin gets red and irritated easily, even warm water can be pedih (painful?), and cracks! Omg. This is terrible. It's not like I don't use moisturiser! I use it at least once daily! Sian. I have to find a super moisturised moisturiser when I come here in winter.

Two months is a bloody long time. This will be the longest ever that we have to part. Hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it.

We have moved in!!! Yay! :) Very tiring process of moving and setting up. 3 huge luggage + 2 small luggage + boxes of new kitchen appliances + loose kitchen appliances in plastic bags. After which, getting groceries from the shopping city nearby. Heavy lah! I shall go get the trolley or grocery bags, at least. Poor Other Half had to carry rice + chicken + probably 2 kilos worth of bananas + other stuff. Of course, I had to carry things too but less heavy lah hehe. But still! Our arms fell like dropping off the shoulders. Did I mention I LOVEEEE shopping city?! It's like Oxford St right here in Turnpike Lane! Coolness! I shall explore more. Oh oh! And there's M&S Outlet!! Outlet! I love this place :D Monday I think I shall rot at home and be a good housewife. Haha! I sooooooooo do not wish to go back Singapore :(((((((((

Found this on Other Half's facebook, very good reminder for me especially. Be A Good Wife Let me tell you the ways to get to his heart Delicious food is where you should start A really good meal – there’s nothing like it Be it steak or biryani, kebabs or fish When he returns home from work, greet him at the door A really nice smile will please him for sure Elegant clothes, make-up, perfume applied All these things make for an attractive wife. Serve him his meal and do it with style The domestic woes can wait for a while. Be a good listener – Was his day alright? Be ready to give him support and advice When he’s home, try to be there for him No friend can be more important than him If he wants to go out put everything aside Let your company be the best thing in life Be smiling and cheerful and do make him laugh This is one more way of keeping his heart Use wisdom and tact when dealing with him Nothing can be gained by fighting with him If he does say something which y

We've been meeting lovely people here, Alhamdulillah :) Today, we chanced upon a Malaysian lady. At first we saw her at the school campus, and she smiled at us, so we smiled back. Other Half and I concluded she's a Malay, and probably teaches Malay Studies at the campus. Turns out, we're right! Haha! I bumped into her when I was wandering in the campus looking for a bookshop. Then we started to get to know each other. Coincidentally, Other Half completed his registration. He joined us, and since we too have not eaten lunch, she graciously offered to bring us to this Malaysian restaurant. Food there's not bad! I had Mee Bandung, and it's pretty good! I don't really know what Mee Bandung tastes like actually, but who cares! This is good! Hahaha. A little ex, though. The place is called Tuk Din, somewhere in Paddington/ Sussex Gardens. The woman we met? Whoa. Seems like she's hobnobbed with some big shots! She's a journalist/ freelance writer whos
