Wake Up and Smell the Cake

Teeheehee VERY tempted to get this. But it'll burn a whole in my pocket and will affect reno finances too. Sigh. Mummy dearest said she has too many bags already and won't be getting any even though there's a sale now. But I have yet to start my own collection! Should I should I?? Hmm... Maybe I should just go take a look at it. Just see see only hehe. And ask for the price too.

My clutch/sling bag for Raya. The one I got from Far East Plaza. Pretty hor!! Modelled with Chip. I love the centre piece! Love the vintage look and Aztec feel :) Preferred this to the usual stones brooch. Though it's a bit more than what I'd budget for a simple clutch, but I feel it's worth it. Weeee!

Now's lunch time! First lunch after fasting. But I don't feel hungry. Or maybe not yet. I guess fruit cake can really make you full. Lunch time and I don't feel like going to eat, or going out. Instead, I feel like sleeping. My eyes are dry again due to lack of sleep. And water too I guess. And the worst part of it all, my lunch kaki already HAD lunch. URGH. And here I was, so excited over what to have for our first lunch date after a year. Disappointed. *pouts* I need a new mug. One with lid. The one I'm using now is already three years old. And is plastic-ish. Starting to smell. Ah wait~! I found a mug in my drawer! Teeheehee from lunch kaki. Yay no need to buy oredi! :)

It's like talking to the wall. I wonder how long I'll take to understand and accept.

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
