Weekend 30/9/06 - 1/10/06
Weekends seem so short! Itz Monday and back to work again...
Caught "Scoop" on Friday with Dearie Xiong Di at Cathay... Find it refreshingly interesting but 2 of his Xiong Di & GF actually fell asleep.... think not their type of show.... Cathay seats seem to be "connected" to one another... When one person along the same row of seats shakes his leg or move about in his seat, you can feel the "vibrations".... Kinda irritating....
Saturday is our housework day... as usual, me ironed the clothes while Dearie took charge of the labour work - vacuuming, mopping the floor & cleaning the master bedroom toilet :)) *phew* lucky me dun nid to do the labour work, me can even stay in the bedroom, with air-con on, watch a korean drama while ironing the clothes!! :P
Lunch was Dearie's home-made baked rice, wif sausages & fried chicken :) yumz! After lunch was a lazy day catching "Desperate Housewives" and watching Dearie playing "Kingdom Hearts" on his PS2... me oso caught up on my cross-stitch :) glad making good progress :) now short of the outline, eyes & those that need the dark brown thread... cos me doing colour by colour... Dearie was saying itz amazing how a plain white piece of cloth could become so pretty... ;P next on my to-do list will be decorating our photo album on our Hongkong Trip in Aug 06 & completing the crossword puzzle we bought 2 years ago? procrastinating for so long... haha!!
Dinner was xiao bai cai in oyster sos, fish (which got lotsa bone, Dearie had to pick them out before giving me... haha!) & herbal chicken soup wif rice... after dinner, at about 9pm, we went for a drive, to Changi Airport T1 where we sat at the Viewing Gallery... he did his course homework while me played Nintendogs on my Nintendo DS, which he bought me sometime back... very relaxing, just sitting at the viewing gallery, watching planes fly off, land... kids running or prancing about with their parents following closely behind, young couples walking hand in hand...
Supper was MacDonald's at Balestier Shaw Plaza... wanted to wait for midnight so that we can buy the buddy meal @ $8, but it was only 11.30pm when we reach there & Dearie was not that hungry, so in the end, settled for McNuggets meal with Fillet-O-Fish... we played BrainAge on the DS, like such challenging games which require some brainwork... Our brain age, as calculated by the game, was 30+ years old! Hmm... so old despite being 20+ years old only... haha! apparently brain age can improve with daily training, game will actually plot our brain age in a graph.... training includes word memory, quick mental calculations (20 & 100), reading aloud, stroop tests, sudoku etc... more training will unlock more training games... dunno wat other training games will b unlocked...
Sunday was going back to my parents' plc for lunch... Mum purposely cooked pig's trotters, vegetable curry & rice for us... ;) Dad also bought Ruffles Potato Chips (sweet & sour cream flavour) for me! :) My younger sis, bro and parents were very happy 2c us back home, albeit for a meal for a short while on weekends... however, we are really sorry we cant go back often... but will try our best to call every once in a while :P My sister was very happy to be able to play Nintendogs & Brain Age on my DS... she told me she got 8 points for her sec 4 leaving exams! so happy for her! hope she does as well or better during her 'O' Levels in Nov too! :) however, dun wanna put undue pressure on her too... jus try ur best & gif ur best shot ya? :)
After lunch was a trip to Bugis & the National Library... Dearie borrowed more comics while me borrowed a book by Catherine Lim on "Leap of Love"... should support local writers mah... :P Took our monthly Neo cards too, now the card is on my workdesk :P background is kind of funny, wif us in the bathtub, and floating brassieres & panties.... what intrigues me in choosing this background was the bright colours, with 2 yellow rubber duckies in the bathtub... itz only after taking the card then we realise the awkward items... haha!! looking at the card just makes it more funny... hope his colleagues wun poke fun @ him!
Dinner was creamy potato chowder with bread... need to rest early for a new week on Monday... had a terrible nightmare last night... so scary! woke up in the middle of the night and woke him up... hee! to give me some form of comfort and hug, with words of reassurance...
