Wake Up and Smell the Cake

Remember the wedges I was so happy about? Here they are! I've worn it for two days now. To work. Hahaha. Okay I shall remember to take fotos of my bag purchases soon. Another note to self: charge camera!!

Yippee!! Yesterday Other Half brought me to Far East Plaza!! Thank you darling! Weeeee! Bought a pair of wedges, a clutch and a cute sling retro schoolbag! I feel like going shopping there AGAIN!! I found a shop with elegant work clothes, but sadly their sizes are like S and XS. What the hell. So small. If only I wasn't that big... Sigh. Anyway!! I is loving my buys! The clutch is plain, leather-like. I doubt it's real leather since it's just $31.90. And you can choose the ornament for the clutch too! Heehee. The shop has a website with their catalog online. VERY tempted to get other bags. Hehe. Was supposed to look for a sling bag, and we found this shop with awesome big totes! I like big bags! But but. That wasn't in my shopping list so I should avoid. But I got this hard shelled bag at the same shop! It's pretty! I like! Maybe I shall upload fotos instead of making such a lame attempt at describing the bags. Haha. The wedges are open toed, pretty flower designed

I have a cut on my finger and a 2-inch long greenish bruise on my wrist but I can't remember incurring those injuries. I can't remember hitting myself especially! Either I have goldfish memory, or my nervous system is a little haywire. Sometimes I have cuts I have no idea where I got it until it stings when coming into contact with water. I know people may puke reading this, but I miss Other Half even though it's only been half a work day. Can't wait for the day to be over! Teeheehee. Life has been very good AWESOME with him :) Having a car during lunch is so convenient. Now that I don't have a hold of the car unlike the past year, I'm feeling a little handicapped. Lunch time shopping escapes drastically reduced. Sigh. I really wanna go get me some sling bags from FEP! As of yesterday both pairs of FFLs now have their own flats! Yippee! We can take turns to go each others' houses and cook! And become like these ladies: It'll be fun! :) I wanna

This looks too good! Die die must try! Looks awesomely delicious doesn't it!! It's called Huevos Habañeros (Eggs Havana Style). Stumbled upon it from The Little Teo Chew . I have to try it some day!! Sunday morning breakfast in bed for my ♥ very deserving ♥ Other Half :)

Why am I up? I can't sleep. It's way past my bedtime and I don't like it. I don't like bazaars. I don't like being out so late. I don't like sudden change of plans that I have been looking forward to. I don't like shopping when I don't have the mood. I am sick. I hate coughing. I cough like I want to vomit something out but there's nothing. I want to go to the mosque. Now. Haha. Ya very funny. There's no qiyam right now I guess. I want to go to the mosque and sit there the whole day and night. Kinda addictive. I want to sleep. I want to blast my ears with music. I want to drive a manual car like an angry mad woman. I like double dates! :) I wanna do a triple date tomorrow but I can't. That would be fun :) I want my house back. I miss the boredness I had in London. I want to go back to office. Weirdly, I don't crave for chocolate. But I just want to eat. Eat and eat. But I'm already FAT. Fatty fat stomach. Okay I want to go to the mosq

Can you feel this magic in the air? It must have been the way you kissed me Fell in love when I saw you standing there It must have been the way Today was a fairytale ♥ Correction: Today, tomorrow is my fairytale :)

Marriage Central's tips for love to work: Go on a 2nd or even 3rd honeymoon. Done that! ;) Our honeymoon fund's never full! And yet we're thinking of many more destinations to explore :D

Today's National Day! Watched NDP on the teevee, and it is awesome! The best ever!! I like the floats. They look intricate and beautiful! I like that the classic National Day songs weren't butchered. I like the segment with kids saying what the cresent moon means. I like that Kit Chan sang the best NDP song ever, Home. I like the fireworks!! I like that celebrations are held at heartlands, and their MPs are there with them. I like that Other Half can watch it online and we can talk about it while watching :) I love my country. I know the government is not perfect, but especially after living in London (ya London, not even a third world country) I appreciate my homeland much more. So many things we take for granted, we only realise when we don't have them. May this land and its people continue to live harmoniously and prosperously.

Let's pack our bags And lie on the easy stream Feel the water on our backs Where we can carry on dreamin' Where we can finally Be where we'd like to be Darlin', just you and me Just you and me ♥

Sometimes I have so many things to complain. So many things to blog about, to pour out. I need to get it all off my chest. I'd think, okay I shall blog when I get home later. But most of the time it doesn't materialise cos I forget. Which is a good thing. I either forget the things to say, or I forget how angry or sad I was. But it's okay. Because ignorance is bliss. The joy of having goldfish memory! Sometimes the things I think of can harm people's feelings. So in short, today I felt . . . . . . End. Okay that's all! Bye!

Okay good night. I might as well sleep & let my kidneys rest. Looking forward to lunch tomorrow! :)

Let's see what I've been up to. NOT cooking because I have mother dearest doing that already. Haha! And besides, my cooking is not up to her standard. I WATCHED TWILIGHT. Not on purpose, though. The many many cable channels didn't have anything interesting this morning. And I was waiting to watch my ultimate fave cartoon. Speaking of which!! I am so disappointed to know that it runs only for 15 minutes!! Cartoons, especially good ones like this, should run for a full 30 minutes! Anyway. Back to Twilight. Not bad lah the movie. It's not like a chick flick or what. I like Edward's parents. Such sweet people. And they are 'vegetarians'. Cool! Self restraint. Even vampires have self restraint. I threw away some old clothes! Mainly because my mum is running out of hangers. Hahahaha. Freed up nine, I think maybe can afford to free up more. But then again, I'll be quickly using them again to put new clothes. Wahahaha. Yesterday on the way home, I decide

HAHAHAHA found this and it's funny! Looks a bit like the London Tube but more complicated! And a station for practically everywhere! Even JB! Click to enlarge.

I feel blessed. Actually blessed is arguable. But I shall not argue with the fact that I'm lucky. Here's counting my lucky stars: I am married. Something I thought was just a dream cos of the lack of potential guys I'd meet in my industry. Who would've thought I'd be married to the most wonderful husband in the world, who loves me much more than I love myself. I have truly struck gold to have his heart ;) We own our little flat for over a year now :) We're lucky to get it at a time where prices were just about to rise, so our housing loan is kinda low unlike prices now. I can even afford not to work! Haha! I LOVE my parents. The most understanding, frank, and practical parents. There's nothing more I could ask from them. I have a stable job. With bosses that care. Can't thank them enough for offering me the telecommuting arrangement! I've never been really that stressed about school. Work, maybe. Generally I lead a stress-free life. Hence the

Every night I refuse to sleep, for it's like time wasted. Time I can spend talking to you. But then I am not working London hours unlike a friend in banking. If only there's no such thing as a time zone. Haha. And weddings! I'm getting sick of attending weddings alone. When I'm not supposed to be alone. I love attending dear friends' weddings. But it's kinda incomplete for me cos I get reminded of my own wedding, and when I want to reminsce, the most important person isn't beside me. Weddings, especially solemnisations are happy and special moments I want to share with The Husband. I hope the next wedding I can come as a couple. I can't wait for The Husband to come home. Anyway!! Today is Ad's wedding. Love it :) Finally he got married! Truly very happy for him :) The adhoc family grows! Hehe. And now it's five and a half years and counting... Time flies! :) Hope we can all stay one whole big family for many more years to come!

I am missing Other Half terribly. It's barely a week since we've parted. Still more weeks ahead before he comes home :( The event over the three days made it worse. Conferences like those are the kind I would most definitely want him to be around. To discuss with, to clarify. Ideas or thoughts I feel most comfortable discussing with him. There were quite a few terms which I wasn't so sure of too. And at yesterday's finale event, colleagues brought spouses. A colleague pointed to the door and said "my wife's coming!", beaming with pride. I really wished The Husband would come through that door too. Waiting for you impatiently, The Wife

I'm back in Singapore. Flight was okay, I was seated in between two men who luckily are thin. Food was from an Indian company. The dessert for dinner was AWESOME. Something called Pista Kheer. It was delicious! At first I was jealous cos the non-halal food got Strawberry Truffle. But the Kheer was delicious! And something new! Breakfast was bleargh though. Singapore is more humid than London. My face was super red when I got out of the airport. Didn't help that the plane wasn't cold at all. Met family :) Nice to see them again after so long, though it didn't feel long. I miss Other Half :( I miss disturbing him. And seeing him smile. And hearing his laugh. I miss everything I do with him. Which is practically everything :D I shall not cry. He's coming back soon :)

Very fast. It has been the longest allowed stay here given to me. 114 days. 3 months 22 days. Tomorrow is Day 114. Time flew by. We have had such an amazing time, the longest time we've been living together since we got married. How we've grown accustomed to each other. I don't want to leave Other Half. Again :'( It wrecks your heart to think would he take care of himself well, what if he falls sick, what if he needs company. It wrecks my heart even more because this is the third time we're parting. I hope he returns home safely to me and we can live happily ever after together , the faster the better. Amin.

And so I didn't buy the black heels. Because it has pig skin lining. Bleah. Good thing I didn't buy online too. But!!! Since I was already at the shop, I browsed through the shoes on sale and I got something better! For the SAME price! Although on the website it says 20 pounds instead. Good deal! Perfect for weddings! Or other occasions also can. Looks much prettier when worn. But I foresee blisters. HAHA. Oh well. What's a pair of heels without blisters! Hahaha. Aahh now I'm broke! Haha! No more shopping. I need to deposit next month's pay + bonus in another bank: Confirm I won't withdraw the money wan. Too leceh.

I bought this yesterday while waiting for Other Half. Thank you for being late! Hahahaha :) Price? TEN POUNDS!! :D Just what I needed! Brown heels! The one at home is quite in a bad shape. Trying on the shoes was a little weird cos it's been months since I've worn heels. Been wearing flats all round London. Need to get used to heels again! Hahaha. Love this pair. I can run in them too! Hahaha. Always buy shoes you can run in. And then my itchy fingers went to their website to look for more deals. And I found this: Another 10 pounds deal!! Should I buy?? Should I??? Very very tempting!! Hahaha. I think I shall. Hopefully they have it in store. Ordering online will cost 5 pounds more for shipping. Okay bye! Attempting Korean beef stew today. Wish me luck!
