bits n pieces

weekend is over far too fast! but im happy for april is almost coming to an end! *yippee* welcome, may the month of many many holidays. *wee*!
and i've a good weekend i guess. :)

friday was nothing eventful. hubbi & i made our way to the soup spoon outlet at raffles place for a quick spot of dinner. after that, we made a beeline for home as i was feeling pretty tired out again. the good thing that came out of the evening was linda deciding to pop by our house to for a quick catch-up!
its been eons since i last saw her & i showed her all my wedding/honeymoon photos at one go! hehe. but its really nice just gabbling rubbish with her! :)

and finally the long awaited musical "phantom of the opera" arrived on sat!! i woke up bright & chirpy to prepare myself for lunchie at mum's place before meeting zm for the musical at 1+.

moi all ready to go! the husband giving me the evil eye for abandoning him to finish up housework at home by himself.

the phantom' set is really fantastic and worth every dollar of the expensive ticket. but i must admit having wakey up at 7+ in the morning took the toll on me. i found myself dozing off at certain parts where christine kept on singing and singing about nothing in particular. heez.
but im not the only one. zm & ser had the same problems. lolz.

sun was lazy n a good day of rest for me. we left for hubbi's parents home for good o'home-cooked lunch. played with my cute nephews!

they cant stop jumping on the mattress. so cute!

after which we left for grocery shopping at tiong bahru before heading home. we finally managed to catch "the godfather II" DVD that hubbi got for me last time.
it was good but abit slow for him i guess. it has 2 of my fav. actors from last time - robert de niro & al pacino! wayyy cool!
esp. de niro. he's good. just like the real stuff. a don! a don! call me don vito! lolz. they made mafia look good again!

i feel like catching godfather I! curious to see if marlon brandon was really good as don vito! for de niro portrayed a really convincing young vito!

and i've been playing well with my paint set! *tada* another cute lion with pink mane & cheery sun are my latest creations. heh.



anyway the husband made some really tiny windfall from his shares yesterday & since we were out at raffles city, strolling aimlessly, i managed to bring us to the toys department again to grab something! heez.

in the end, managed to convince him to get me a set of TABOO! & a mega block spider-man 3 set! haa, he's always interested in spidey but without me pushing, he will never get such a set.
thinking that it will be great fun constructing it together & it really made a nice display set, i persuaded him to grab it since there's 20% disc too.

and we've fun playing taboo for sometime yesterday night before he got tired of such intellectual game & we moved on to the spidey set!
it took us nearly 1 1/2 hours to get it all set up but its really worth the effort!

see the end result is sooo nice. its the final battle scene for spider man 3 where we've sandman, green goblin, venom & spidey all together. some of the parts are really fun like the crane can swing around, a button to control the length of the white string that spidey is holding on, some planes can be pushed to scattered make-believed sand all over the place & a spidey web that will catch the baddies. FUN!

im glad we got this. & i've my eyes set on another set from the pirates of the carribean set! hopefully, hubbi will get dividends from some of his portfolio soon. hiaks!
