been a pretty busy week for me! having both our anniversary & v-day in the same week is no mean feat. heh. so 12th feb on monday is our 5th year anniversary! gawd, we've been together for 5 freaking years?! *sweat*
it was usually me who pester for celebration, be it mini or not. so after the irritating fight last sun, i was naturally in a generally pissed mood (as hubbi put it: "why you always angry?") but not without reason this time.
so he arranged for us to meet at the cathay for dinner after work. he brought us back to the same restaurant we've been to earlier on. the food aint bad & they serve some really nice onion soup! anyway the dinner almost started on a wrong note as i was kinda upset over everything. luckily, my mood and the night got better as we proceeded. :)
in the end, hubbi got me a card & a cutie little pot with a seed (which has "someone special" on it). hence, supposedly if i water it everyday, the seed will grow roots & sprout out from the soil saying "someone special"! lolz. i just got him a mini card (no kidding, its really those mini card which you are supposed to tag on pressie, only this time round there is no present for him).
he seemed shock at the absence of pressie from me for im always the one who put effort to make card/buy pressie/think of prog etc. NO MORE! no more taking me for granted. hiaks.
and oh, i still cant remember the restaurant name for the life of mine. if you are interested, just pop by the cathay at the 3rd/4th level. its decor is real nice- touches of velvet red/plastic chair/black strings curtains etc. okie, you got the drift.
yummy onion soup!
me with my boring pasta.
and then its v-day on wed! not too sure if its really an occasion worth celebrating for (for its over-commercialism & exorbitant price tags attached), we agree to meet up at vivo for a simple dinner. n a simple dinner it was. we had grilled chicken & ribs (not unlike those from Kenny rogers). conversation topics gravitated more towards work angst. ha, not exactly a v romantic topic huh?
hubbi got me a novel -"the historian", which i wanted to read for a long time. was torn between this & "the traveller's wife" then but decided to give the latter a try instead. "the traveller's wife" is sorta disappointing so let's hope this will be good!
was thinking when will be a good occasion to read the book since im always so busy nowadays will all sorta rubbish. so hubbi & i were discussing if we can make a short weekend trip to KL in Mar. it will just be a really short 2D1N thingy since he cant take leave so soon. we will take the slowpok overnight train way since its more of the train ride that i miss than KL itself. lolz. think we will just to enjoy our overnight train to arrive at KL freah & bright at 7am (!) so that we can just spend a lazy day shopping n eating before making our way back to s'pore the next noon. ha. sounds mad. but i want to get out of SG soon!
and yah, i DIDNT get hubbi anything (again) except for a mini card. think hes still in denial when i told him over the phone in the noon that i wont be getting him any present. maybe he thought i will ambush him with a large bouquet of flowers when we met up at vivo? hiaks.
when he saw my incredily small coach bag when we met up, he sulked and asked,"you really never buy anything for me ah?". haha.
okie lah, will get you a belated anniversary cum v-day gift soon. :)
still, we had a nice dessert break @ ben&jerry after the dinner & take a slow leisure walk outside the shops. nice conversation & cool breeze are good! :))
i didnt know vivo has this outside. kinda remind me of x'mas which wAs over too sooN!
spring cleaning
i now understand my mum's pain come every CNY spring cleaning. 真不是人做的!
on top of normal housekeeping chores last sunday, hubbi & i get our big butts busy with spring cleaning both the study & guest room. we wiped windows/clear out rubbish etc. very hard work!! i remebered waking up with aching bones in monday morning.
then yesternight was our bedroom turn. the bed is not so bad but the bedroom toilet kills!!!!!!! very dirty.. think all the toothpaste/my skincare/hair products/cosmetics leave ugly smelly residues here n there. bleh. *puke* but its a nice feeling to see my master bedroom & toilet sparkling (almost) clean after yesterday's nearly 2hrs work!
*tada* our new bedsheets from the previous isetan private sale ha. match our purple wall hor?
now left with living room & kitchen. i dread to think of tonight! *brr*
