In the mist of crazy couponing, we also GROUPON

BH and I just bought GROUPONS to attend cooking lesson at Cook’s World together!! yay!!

Hopefully there’s slots for Summer PIE & TART Workshop

Looking forward to the lesson! We like baking together.. so attending this class will be soooooo fun!! hehe.. I can imagine that my trash bin will be soooooo undernourished after we attend the lesson! wahaha..

If the lessons are sooo good, I am so going to attend their Baking 101 – Hopefully with professional help, i’ll know what’s wrong with my chiffon cake or cheesecake !! 😀

The memorial day weekend

BH had a 4 day long weekend!!! The perfect weekend started on Thursday evening when BH came home early!!! So we spontaneously went out for dinner then watched Shrek 3. Pure bliss!! 😀

Actually, we could have gone on a roadtrip or something.. but we didn’t.. ( Thankfully not, the weather was very WET) oh well, so we decided that maybe we shld go shopping? hahaha.. it was a super duper rainy long weekend 🙁 I mean.. I love my new PINK VS brolly… rain makes going out very very sianz

Friday: Here’s me – feeling happy coz I got to use my brolly.

There’s a newly opened Lacoste outlet! WOW! BH bought 2 polo tees while I bought 1 – It’s our very first Lacoste 🙂

Saturday: because it’s still rainy… we decided that we will bake a cake

Sunshine Chiffon cake, which didn’t taste as good as we expected. The rubbish bin ate it in the end

To perk me up – this came in the mail! haha.. free sample not for me but for BH!

Ended the night with FREE DVD rental of Sherlock Holm – Love freebies!

Sunday: Still raining… So it’s DIY home improvement day!

Changed our New York decal to this cheesy quote.. hahaha.. but this decal is of good quality…took us a long time to paste it on the wall .. it looks painted doesn’t it?

Made our own canvas using fabric and wood bought from Ikea ( a few weeks ago) – Looks nice??

It was still raining… so I cooked Nasi Lemak, which was a disaster 🙁 The rice was too wet (like the weather) and milky. Eeks! BH ate it anyway. However, the sambal seafood curry saved the day! Wish my mum was here man!

Monday: Still raining but decided that we shld still go out

So… we went out for lunch, took a walk at the mall and I saw MR Q 😀

Surprisingly, after I bought Mr Q , it was sunny and the weather cleared!! hahaha… shld have bought him earlier!!!

We also went to the Folklife Festival ( we call it ‘Pasar Malam’) near our home. Very crowded.. lots of yummy and poisonous food. To think of it, it’s the 2nd time we went. ahhh… time flies… I hope it’s not my last

A great weekend with lots of quality time spent with BH 🙂 *meow*

Contact lenses

Got these in the mail yesterday!

my 6 mths supply of monthly contact lenses 😀

How much did we pay? $0 = FREE

company insurance covered this! I love this place!

—————-

[STORY]

Prior to coming to the states, I bought several boxes of contact lenses from SG – I was using daily disposables. Of course, my supplies depleted since I’m over here for a period of time.

We went to the optician last mth, to get new prescription so that I can buy the lenses here. ( Need to get prescription to mk specs or lenses here.. quite troublesome!) Nobody could mk the same kinda contact lenses as I was wearing in SG.

I was super upset and decided that I am so going to be ugly until BH decides on the date that we cld go back to SG 🙁 So, BH actually made the effort to find out more abt the lenses and even wanted to bring me to another optician for a 2nd opinion. Anyhow, he found out that only 1 type of lenses can fit me so he called the optician to mk the lenses – the monthly lenses

From that day on, BH was HORRIFIED that my eyes are of such high degree ( any higher , no lenses can fit me alr ) and he was like ” can u don’t read in the dark?”, ” what did i tell u about your eyes?” haha.. feels good to be cared for 🙂 and he sounds like my dad..

“come home early…”

ok.. so after many many mths of the above statement…. it finally came true!

I mean.. I must really blog abt this cos this is a historical moment..

Last friday, while i was cooking dinner , the kitchen was in absolute mess… suddenly, i heard the door open. I thought I was hearing things… cld be the neighbour’s door…

HOLD AND BEHOLD… it was BH!!

I was so surprised, shocked and beyond words… I felt so happy .. tears of joy was at the corner of my eyes! 🙂 ah… i didn’t think that BH coming home early ( finally! after so many mths) can make me so happy.. the joy of seeing him home early is even happier than if I received 10 T&C accessories from him?? haha.. I have no idea why

Thanks to his friend who needed 1 more person so they could take the carpool lane – phew.. else this won’t have happened… heh.. prays hard that this will happen every day

[Sidetrack] BH’s office moved to the eastside, so he no longer walks to work. He used to drive BUT the traffic is bad and I so don’t like him driving, it delays his going home time. He takes the company bus aka ‘school bus’ but the time he reach home is still not that early.. haha.. it was a GOOD friday 😀

Beach Vacation

BH and I have NEVER gone for a beach vacation after being with each other for sooooooo long! haha.. okok.. we went to Sentosa a couple of times.. counted? Both of us like shopping so we have this mentality that beach vacation is boring.. like what can we do man? lie on the beach and f*ck in the room? haha.. erm.. we are not that kinda sex-ed up couple.. seriously!

anyhow, because we need to go back to SG ( dates not confirmed) and we are saving up almost all our money – we are thinking of going on a short vacation. I was suggesting Batam or Bintan.. and BH looks at me with a “ewww…” expression

So while surfing around one afternoon… I found THE place .. this was my email to BH

—–

batam feels sleazy
bintan not classy
hawaii too costly
Phuket confirm kinky!!!

3rd honeymoon at Pool side villa??
what say u?? ;p

——

I think my parents will freak if they know we are going to Phuket… :X BH was like US$550+ might as well go Hawaii .. then i was like ” you have your own POOL can!” haha.. then he started to do his own research on renting other villas in Phuket..

oh well.. looking at things… we “talk only, no action” – going back to SG this yr is probably gonna be our ONLY holiday .. kinda disapted… but it’s ok… Looking at the LONG TERM GOAL.. everything s worth it..

we have to ‘REN’ – nearly there!!

double!

i was watching Tyra Show during gym and Tyra was interviewing some women with 2 virginas!!! I mean… how interesting is this! I don’t even know there were such pple! heh… Tyra show is super educational at times 🙂

anyway, some of the husbands/bfs of the women in the show were so excited and happy when they found out their other halves have 2 “holes” .. so I asked BH the same qn when he’s home..

Me: What if I tell u I have 2 virginas?

BH: *looks disgusted* No way!! Imagine 2X the HELL!

hahaha… i didn’t know I was such a tyrant :X

On a happy note, this arrived in my mail ysterday!! wah!! FREE.. love it! always wanted to try this but reluctant to spend $ on such things – signed up for free sample and I got it!! yay!!

tested it out immediately.. the smell comes off very fast ( makes my place smell like Vanilla ice cream!! ) once plugged into the electric socket BUT it’s kinda too strong in my opinion ( BH says he can’t smell anything) and my nose feel funny.. haha.. i unplugged it for now. I think I will use it after cooking for 30mins… then continue with my trusty scented candles 🙂
