New phone!

Yeah! BH got me a new phone! ;p It’s a LG INCITE ( dunno if they have this in S’pore) According to my sister, it’s called LG Secret in S’pore..

anyway, here’s my phone!

Well, the main reason y i got this phone, instead of other phones (such as iphone) is because it has a dual clock function! which i thot is sooooo cool! (anyway, this phone was also on 1/2 price, 99USD which is way cheaper than iphone, 199USD)

anyway, BH thot that i’ll get an iphone… so he already bought me an iphone cover… now the cover is sitting at home catching dust.. haha.. who’ll wants an iphone cover, let me know, i’ll ‘reserve’ it for u ;p

BIG announcement: I am contactable anytime anywhere from now onwards with my phone!!! I am using an unlimited data plan.. means I can access my email anytime anywhere!!! juz email me!!!

I took some pics on the way to the Seattle Premium Outlets..

The pic on the  left shows the long freeway we got to take to the outlet mall.. the outlet malls are located quite far.. near Vancouver… and they are MORE chinese shopping than Angmos.. haha.. weird right? outlet malls are not like our sg warehse sale! haha..to my surprise, they are retail shops, juz tt the things are much cheaper!

the pic at the bottom shows cute doggies waiting for their owner at the carpark.. ;p

Have a good day to all!

I told u so!

geez.. BH is nt feeling well.. he’s down with flu! see see!! i told u so!!! luckily, i told a flu jab and bought flu medicine from my doctor before coming.. in the end, BH took my medicine and is resting now… well… being such a sweet and dedicated wife..i cooked porridge for him and gave him 1 day sick leave.. with my BIG and GENEROUS heart… I pardoned him for not doing his ‘chores’ TODAY haha..

so how did BH caught a flu? last night, something exciting happened at our apartment.. at ard 8pm, BH and I were debating who shld go and bathe first.. b4 we cld come to a conclusion… there’s was a loud screeching, annoying siren in our apartment… my first reaction was to look at Jessica, don’t ask me y.. haha.. i was afraid the lights on Jessica would short-circuit and cause fire.. haha.. then the sound seem to come from the laundry rm (weird coz we r nt washing any clothes).. so we opened the door and saw pple evacuating from their apartments… so we quickly took our jackets… and i took my ever ready emergency bag = our passports and cash then went to assemble outside the apartment.. which was FREEZING cold!!! man!!! it was interesting to see how our neighbors seized the opportunities to take photos of the ‘fire’ and the fire engine… hahaha… shortly after, the firemen came… checked and there was nothing… so… after a cold and painful 20mins, we could go up to our apartment… i guess.. that’s when he caught a cold…

conclusion: Living in the US is sooooooo filled with uncertainties… Singapore is definitely safer! haha

anyway, i’m sick too 🙁 I am soooooooooo sick and tired of snow!!!! argh… snow is no fun at all!!! really hope tt we could drive out tomorrow… coz I HAD RAN OUT OF THINGS TO COOK!!!! and there’s lots of sales going on!!!! believe it or nt.. i still have nt gone to Seattle’s factory Outlet stores!!! 🙁 BH better recover soon!!!

o.. and i opened my x’mas present from BH.. received an American Eagle cardigan.. Bh was delighted to receive a Celio sweater which i bought from sg.. haha…

Happy Boxing day to all!!

Merrrrrry Kiss-Moooseeeeee!

BH and I took a short trip to vegas on the 20Dec-23Dec.. Prior to our departure date, there were many reports on snow storms and cancellation of flights… I left for the trip with an extremely heavy heart… coz.. i knew that we would be ‘staying’ in the airport for sometime… oh well, BH thought that i was being paranoid again..haha..but it turned out that i was right!

so.. Bh’s friend, Julius drove us to the airport.. even on his 4-wheels drive car, we could feel a ‘skid’ on the road.. super dangerous to drive… it was very sweet of him to risk his life for us! haha …anyway, we reached the airport way b4 time… it was kinda crowded.. coz there were ‘stranded’ passengers from other flights which was cancelled… anyhow, we got to our gate and the flight was badly delayed..with at least 5 gate changes in a span of 2hours? the weather was very bad… the wind was strong… snow was heavy… runway was covered with snow and melted to ice… BUT we still boarded the plane… set down comfortably… then the pilot announced… “Flight Cancelled” We alighted the plane and became one of those ‘stranded’ passengers…

hmmm… we couldnt change our flight as we bought the package (include hotel) at a cheap rate.. changing would incur more cost… we couldn’t go home as the weather was so bad that it’s nt safe to drive… soooooooo…. we tried to ‘rebook’ ourselves on another flight BUT all flights were fully booked… we can only get seats on the 22Dec! we had no choice but to take the risk… so… we put ourselves on standby for the next day 6am flight… we were no. 23-24 on the list of abt 40 pple… i was feeling quite hopeless already..

the next day came slowly.. and we were very tired.. with no proper sleep… however, the weather in seattle was still quite bad… so… many pple didnt turn up for the 6am flight! hahaha…. we got on the flight but seats were separated (nvm.. we juz took it) .. and we finally flew to our destination! (pls get a window seat when flying to vegas.. the view is spectacular! i didnt have a window seat But i sat beside a very nice lady who shared the window with me)

it was only a 2hr flight to vegas.. but this trip took us 17hrs! man… finally reached vegas, took a cab, which was quite cheap (paid 16USD, including tips) ,checked into hotel, washed up and went for a so called ‘pretty good buffet’ at Bellogio ( the Q was super long… nearly died of hunger!) .. buffet was so-so only.. dunno y reviews were soooooooo good…

after we replenished our energy, went for photo-taking around the hotels and casinos.. watched abit of the bellogio musical fountain then went to try our luck at Wynn… which ate up most of our money… oh well…

the next day, we went for the Las Vegas factory outlets… alot of things to buy… spent more money… haha… pple were shopping like it’s free esp. at Coach… but.. i don’t really like anything… hmmm… the only thing i really want was a pair of UGG boots (everyone is wearing them!!!)

well.. UGG boots are really costly too , 130USD a pair… so.. i gt to settle for imitation 🙁 went to Aldo and bought a similar looking one… haha… you can see it on the Vegas picture gallery below..

after the tiring shopping at the factory outlet ( actually, seattle also have factory outlet what!) we went back to the hotel.. put down our stuff.. and head to Mandalay Bay for MamaMia! wow… we bought the tickets cheap at this booth known as ‘Tix4tonight’ .. better to buy at this booth than online coz you will nv know what will happen to ur flight and it’s cheaper! the seats we got were very good.. the musical was nice as i could sing along with the songs! very glad that i watched the movie 3X and i managed to watch the real musical! however, i must comment that the vocals are nt as gd as i expect 🙁 would definitely wanna watch MamaMia at New York Broadway!

actually, BH and I toyed with the thought of forgoing out flight back to seattle on the 23dec.. and buy another flight back on the 27dec.. however, we realised that it’s better to spend the money on shopping than to extend the trip… haha..

we would most likely go to Vegas again.. the next time, we hope to go in summer so that we could see the Grand Canyon and the Hoover Dams! ;p

ooo-rdinary day

(Go to Bounceeverywhere.com to hear the song! it’s an advertisement here!)

I fall asleep to,
your serenade.
I wake up to,
your saving grace.

I see the sun beam the perfect ray,
I wanna send out a gazillion bouquet.
I hear the chords that resonate,
It’s just another,
oh oh, oh ordinary day.
aoooh, aoooh

I look from your eyes,
down to your lips.
I feel it from my toes down to my fingertips.

I see the clouds shake,
A sweet aray
It’s just another,
oh oh, oh ordinary day.
aoooh, aoooh, aoooh, aoooh

On sunday afternoon we wake up,
to find that snow has fallen down down

We should put our winter clothes on,
and go walking ’round.

And we can sit there,
beside the hills.
Maybe we’ll notice that the world is standing still.
Some things may go and,
some stay the same.
in just another
oh oh, oh ordinary day.
aoooh
oh, oh, oh ordinary day
aoooh
oh, oh, oh ordinary day
aoooh
oh, oh, oh ordinary day
aoooh
oh, oh, oh ordinary day

———————————————————-

i love the song and i feel like this everyday! haha… except tt weekend is coming and i feel so excited to go on an excursion with our new car!!! Blackie! ;p No pic yet.. will take later!

anyway, i cooked chicken curry last night and we ate with rice and bread.. yummy i must say… and i am such a good cook (when i’m not working).. hehe

Bottom: Curry in bowl ( added coriander leaves for colour)

Not bad right! 🙂 and i also enjoy the smell of the clothes after wash… so satisfying to smell them on BH.. and to see the well-ironed clothes on him! hehe.. i’m loving it! can i don’t work? i rather give my love to 1person than to 40 monsters 🙁 or can i don’t further my studies… i don’t wanna write essays or do projects…

haha.. i wonder how long and i ‘tahan’ this nothing to do life! waking up and realising that i’ve gt no work! no deadlines! and no friends or sister or mother near me 🙁
