TGIF

Darling went to work already. Today he will start work at 4pm. We both had a nap after lunch and bath just now.

Today lunch was great again! Curry chicken with vegetarian fried bee hoon. We did not have anymore space in stomach for prata.

Usually the curry i made is super spicy cos i put lots of my homemade chilli paste. But today, i reduce the chilli paste used and it turns out just nice! The spicy taste is not too overwhelming. Still have leftover curry as we used 1 whole chicken. Leftover kueh chap for lunch and curry for dinner tomorrow! As kueh chap is braised, thus it can be kept longer. However the curry will not be able to keep for long as it contains coconut milk. So by tomorrow, we will be able to clear everything without spending much outside on food! =))

Darling is free from the exercise in September, hooray!! I asked him again about the one in Nov. He said if there is no change in plan, and the new enchik who comes in Oct is able to replace him in Nov's exercise, he will not have to go. I sincerely wish that he does not have to go! Actually if my wedding anniversary & birthday does not fall in November, i actually will not mind that much that he is going. Cause darling is the only staff sergent here so sometimes i have to be abit understanding right? But well...lets see how things go.

I told darling about Yanwen's Tiffany & Co diamond ring. Her hubby actually sweetly re-proposed to her! Darling laughed and gave me a "SHIT-YOU! I-KNOW-WHAT-YOU-TRYING-TO-SAY!" face, hahaha! I know darling does not how to plan such a romantic moment and neither will he ever have this kind of romantic ideas! Cos he is a DUMBO!! The most romantic thing he has ever planned was the proposal. It was really sweet, romantic & unexpected. The thinking and planning must have killed billions of his brain cells, hahaha!! So i told him, "you better do something in nov!!!" Wahahahaha! Actually i know his ideas are limited and can-be-guess-easily kinds, but i just wanna make fun of him...hahaha!

darling went golfing

Darling has a golf session this morning with his colleagues. That explains why i woke up so early as well =) Everytime when darling wakes up early for work or golf, i will be up with him as well. I will prepare coffee and some breakfast for him. Darling likes to take coffee on an empty stomach which is actually very bad for health!

His first tee-off is around 8am, which means he will only be back at around 12pm. Lunch will then be in-charged by me! Everytime when darling is on night shift or at home, he will fight with me for being chef of the day. I like it of cos but i wanna learn! He will tend to take over the cooking at times. But as for today, we came to an agreement. I will be in-charged of the curry chicken whereas he will be in-charged of the fried bee-hoon!

Took a couple of shots of darling in his golf attire. The burmudas wore by darling is bought by me in Dillards Clearance Center, Irving Mall. Very cheap, only less then $12 i think. Golf burmudas are all above knee & shirt must be tucked in, that is the rule.

Darling used to keep asking me to learn golf so i am able to play with him. But nah, i just am not interested in this game. I rather go jogging, or shopping!! There are also people who ask me to learn this sports in order to accompany darling to go to the greens. However i feel being a couple, there is no need to have exactly the saem interests. He is not my twin and neither am i. We can still have our interests and hobbies, despite our strong love.

Yesterday at Ross, i saw one dress. Hmm, i like it and went to try it on. As darling is unable to enter into the fitting room, i took a few shots of my trying. It cost $16.99, which orginally cost $50! I was hesitating when i decided to give it up. I had spent too much during the tax-free weekend. Now i will have to wait till next month if i wanna do more shopping =P
I will be back next month. And if this dress is still there, means its destinated i am gonna buy it, right?

I LOVE EVERYTHING THAT DARLING HAS GIVEN ME

Darling asked me today again if i wanna change the Tiffany & Co charm bracelet. He is so afraid that i do not like it and will not wear it! He told me that he was actually comparing this charm bracelet and another necklace. In the end he bought the charm necklace as he remembers that i like charm bracelet. Now i am announcing, I LOVE MY CHARM BRACELET!!!

The more i look at it, the more i LOVE it! Actually i understand why darling bought me this charm bracelet. Last time in Sumitomo, i had a female colleague who wore this bracelet to work and i like it! I mentioned it to darling before and even showed him in the Tiffany & Co showcase. I was actually amazed that darling remembers it till now! I like charm bracelet cos of my thick wrist. With my thick wrist, i am unable to wear those thin bracelet. Charm bracelet actually suits me! I like those charms hanging down the bracelet. I find them cute. Thus i felt so sorry that i made a fuss over this whole thing.

I remember my first birthday present from darling was a ring. It was a diamond ring. The diamond is small but with very good cutting. I love it alot! He is the first man who gave me a ring! There is once when i took out my ring after bath to do my face. I forgot to put my ring back into my finger. The next morning when i was preparing for work, i realised that the ring is gone! I look for it and my tears started to fall. I called darling and apologised that i lost the ring. I remembered this is what he replied me, "don't worry dear, i will buy you a new one." However the more i listen to this sentence, the more tears i have! I feel so bad at that point of time. I managed to get to work, however with a pair of swollen eyes. I called my dad and even asked him to help me look for it! He still could not find it. The whole day, i was so down. My voice is so monotonous and i did not have the energy to work. Everything in my mind was the ring and darling. I was determined to go home straight after work to look for it. Finally!!! I found it! I put the ring on my bed and when i slept, the ring dropped into a bag on the floor next to my bed! I was so happy for the rest of the night! =)))

My second and third ring from darling is a heart shaped diamond proposal ring and our trinity wedding band from Cartier.

I love all the 3 rings. Up till now i wore the proposal ring and our wedding band daily (i wore them on the same finger), while my first ring from darling is safely kept.

We also have a new name for our new soft toy member. He will be called SLEEPY!!! Cause his eyes is so drowsy, wahaha!

Yesterday in the morning, darling also asked me this question, "so have you ever like anything that i had given you?" I wanna answer this question but my tears forced everything back into my throat. Now i want to answer darling's question from the bottom of my heart. I SERIOUSLY LOVE EVERYTHING THAT DARLING HAS GIVEN ME!!! =)))))

my banana walnut cranberry bread =)

My house is now full of banana smell, hahaha! Smells nice in fact. My banana walnut cranberry bread is done. I am now eating one slice of it while typing this post. This banana bread is somehow very similar to a cake. It is very soft and moist. Definitely will do it again! Anyway the recipe can be found here.

There are some damages to the top of my banana bread. Its all due to my itchy hands, haha! I went to peel the top layer and try the taste =P
Also my photography skills kinda sucks, but the bread came out looking good. Its unlike the ones which i took with my camera.
Tomorrow, i will be attempting curry chicken and fried bee hoon. I also bought prata from India bazzar. I found a good recipe to my curry chicken. As I do not use any pre-mix, its quite difficult to achieve the taste when i cooked it initially. I like to cook food starting from scratch as it gives me some sense of achievement and i feel its also more healthy.

baking in progress...

My Banana Walnut Cranberry Bread is now in the oven baking!!! Oh, i realised i had cranberries in my baking corner! Wahaha! Finally it comes in handy!

Not sure how the taste will trun out to be like. Darling likes banana cake thats why i am attempting this one. Actually this can be considered my second attempt. The first banana cake i made was a few months ago. It was nice, just that still lack of banana taste. Too few bananas i guess. This time round, i put 4 mashed bananas in! Should be banana-bodied taste liao ba..

I may be attempting Japanese Cottonsoft Cheesecake on either sun or tues! My first attempt is successful and i am looking forward to the next one! Agnes invited me to her house on next thursday for potluck. Guess i will be making pandan cake since i have all the ingredients and there is darling around to help me with the egg whites.

Darling told me he may ask for his guard duty day off on next mon, instead of tomorrow. Also good, cos its also a long weekend =))) Next monday, i am planning to go Fort Worth Zoo? Still considering and will see if there are still any other interesting places to go.

There is a 40% chance of thunderstorm tonight. Hopefully this thunderstorm will either come early and go early or does not come at all. I do not want darling to get caught in the thunderstorm on his way home. US roads are not as safe as singapore. Over here, they do not have as many streets light as in singapore. We always have to depend on our car's headlights. Can hear thunderings now...

darling is back to work

Darling went back to work today loh. Make kueh chap today and it is good! Ermm, at least to darling and me. Not too bad on our first attempt. Our kueh chap consist of egg, tofu, tau pok, pork belly & pig stomach. I also bought salted green vegetable to serve with the kueh. Also along with my mummy's atomic sambal belacan (all the way from singapore), everything was so goooooood!!! Since there are still left over egg, beancurd & tau pok, i be adding more meat inside. And this will again be our lunch on saturday before we go out. Darling and i are trying hard to save more money now thus we are also trying to cook @home during weekends. It really save us alot more money.

After lunch, darling & i went out to ROSS. Our pillows are starting to flatten and they kinda strain our neck when we sleep. We bought them in Wal-mart on the first day when we arrived here. This time round, darling & i chose good ones. The one we bought is from Sealy and they cost only $7.99 each! Cheap and firm!

After ROSS, darling brought me to Sprouts and Kroger to buy some baking stuff. My hands suddenly itching to bake again! Can bake some cake for darling's supper as he is on night shift today. He can afford to eat supper, so skinny right? Later i will be baking Banana Walnut Raisin Bread. Actually should be cranberry instead of raisin but seems like cranberry are expensive and i have raisins on-hands, so why not right?

I also went to Walgreens to pick up 3 photos which i ordered. They are all free, woohooooo!! Very nice!!! Should have made more! So now one of my task is to buy more photo frames again! I have 1 wall panel in my house that consist of all the hang photo frames!

This morning, i was feeling kinda naughty so i took a few shots of darling and me in our just-woke-up-looks. We look terrible but natural, wahahaha! Everytime when darling reached home after work, the first thing he said when he stepped into the house is "Naughty girl!" I always frowned and asked him, "why you keep calling me naughty? i very naughty meh???" He just replied, "i just love to call you naughty girl."

I oponed my mailbox yesterday. Wow, it is so packed! So many freebies!!! I love freebies and i always sign up for them. Sometimes when i receive something, i don't even remember signing up for it! =) I do not think there is such stuff in singapore, right?

All right, time to do my Banana Walnut Raisin bread. Hopefully it is good! =D

Lobster dinner!

Just came back from Allen Factory Outlet Stores and Grapevine. I bought nothing as i felt i had spent too much during the last weekend. Darling went to exchange his Guess burmudas for one size bigger as the cutting is slim-cut which i never considered when i bought it. He also bought a Guess plain white shirt which cost only $20 as it was supposedly to be on sale. I like darling in shirts, especially those slim-cut ones. I think he looks good in shirts due to his tall figure and tanned skin.

Darling prepared dinner today, haha! He made lobster XO beehoon soup while i am did the honey roasted chicken wings. Darling complimented that my chicken wings are nice although i felt that its kinda burnt at some parts! I too felt that the lobster soup is nice but he felt that it can be better if a fresher lobster is chosen. Well, nevertheless we enjoyed our dinner!

Darling will be going back to work tomorrow but he may be off again on Fri, hooray!!! He is going back tomorrow to ask for his guard-duty off day.

Tomorrow, i will be trying Kuey Chap. Need to cook for 1 of darling's colleague. Hope he does not mind my cooking, kekeke.

sweetness after a shock..urmm...surprise i mean

Last night after darling came home, we went dinner at VIP buffet. It is a chinese restaurant that serves chinese buffet. The reviews of this restaurant is marked as good by darling's colleague. However, we felt is quite normal. Just that it has more varieties. Maybe we are just not that into chinese food in USA.

After that we came home. While i was bathing, naughty darling went to arrange all the soft toys on the bed into 1 circle, surrounding a pressie. He bought a charm bracelet from Tiffany & Co! There is an Aeropostale T-shirt for me which is at BOGO in Arizona. There is also a new soft toy friend which darling and i assumed to be an anteater. Darling again picked it out in the machine during his exercise.



I took out the bracelet and tried it on and also read the card. I was....urmm...ermm...shocked! I like it and i really mean it! And i know Tiffany & Co is expensive so i really felt appreciated! But its just that i am not kinda of an accessories girl. I seldom will step into Tiffany & Co boutique ans it just seems like darling only realise it now! If its only just a gift from darling and NOT a wedding anniversary gift, i will be damn happy like mad! Its Tiffany & Co, for goodness sake! And i also dunno what is wrong with me cos i just smile and took the bracelet off my hands, then i said in a rather disapointed voice "thank you, i like it." Guess darling can sense something is wrong but he dunno what to say.

I couldn't get to sleep last night cause i keep thinking about what happen. And darling seems like he did not have a single clue that i am ermm...unhappy. In the morning when we woke up, my tears started to fall. Then i went out to the living room while darling is still sleeping. I keep telling myself that its Tiffany & Co and I should be happy! But the more i think about it, the more sian i started to feel. Darling came out and he saw me in the tearing state. He started to ask me if i don't like his present and i finally told him what i felt. We did have a small disagreement but ITS FINALLY FIXED!!! =D

I am glad. I am so glad that we managed to sort out everything. Now we got to know each other better again!

Someone once told me, "you lived with your parents since the day you are born and up till today, you still quarrel with them and sometimes feel that they don't understand you. Then how can you expect your bf/husband to understand you fully? And everyone has their own characters and personalities, so how can you expect your bf/husband be the male version of you?"

I know darling is really dumb in such stuff. Its frustrating at times but its also very funny at times. Its just so irony right? Darling offered to return the Tiffany & Co bracelet and buy something which i like. I declined because i know this bracelet now means something to us. As the Tiffany & Co charms cost $100 each, darling said he will try to buy 1 to put into this bracelet every year. He also promised to get me another gift for our wedding anniversary in Nov! And my birthday pressie too..!!! I so greedy hor =)

Darling also told me that he will not go for the exercise in Nov!!! Yeah!!!!! Hopefully there will be no change in plans! But wheather anot he will be away in Sep for 5 days, he still does not have the answer.

confession of darling

Darling finally called me! Our conversation goes like this again.

Darling: Naughty girl, what are you doing?
Me: Using the computer. I tried calling you but you never answer
Darling: I was busy mah
Me (grinning): Where are you? Are you at the hotel?
Darling: I'm home!
Me (acting blur): Home? Where? U mean hotel?
Darling: No! I am now in Dallas! Coming home!
Me (still acting innocent): Are you sure? Don't bluff me!
Darling: I am really home! I am starting the car now! Have you eaten?
Me: No
Darling: why?
Me: Cos using computer mah. Eat bread later when hungry. Then you coming home, u wanna me to cook? But u don't bluff me! Later i cook then u bluff me!
Darling: I am really home! Wanna give you surprise mah
Me: HUH...(Wahaha!!!)
Darling: Don't u want me home?
Me: (I really dunno how to act anymore or continue this conversation) Of cos, i do!
Darling: Okie, i am home. we talk later

Hahah, its funny! Cos i have to act surprise or shocked but I AM NOT! Up till now, he has no single clue that i already knew about his arrival! OMG! Look at how dumb darling can be =P

waiting for darling to knock knock knock

According to Amelia, everyone has landed in base already. I did all my housework, finally!!! I also hang the balloons onto the Guess paperbag and place it right in front of the door.

I never cook cos kinda last minute confirmed that darling will be home today. So guess we will eat out later. I am damn hungry just now cos i haven ate from 9am till 2pm. In the end, i took out 1 cup noodle (which i usually avoid) and finish everything!

Now only waiting for darling to "call me from his hotel." Wahaha! Oops, appear at the door i mean. Eh no, knock on the door is a better phase cos he has no keys! =D

Darling is coming home today!!!

DARLING COMING HOME TODAY!!!! Hooray!! It was supposed to be tomorrow but their aircraft flew back without stopping for 1 night. But hmmm, it was Amelia who told me this news. I tried to test water but darling keep telling me in his usual voice that he will reach dallas tomorrow. Haha, this is how our conversation went during their lunchtime at the midpoint.

Darling: Now i am at the midpoint loh. Stopping for lunch also.
Me: Then have you eaten?
Darling: Nope, too long queue.
Me: Then you staying overnight at this midpoint?
Darling: Yup
Me: Then why u haven go to your hotel?
Darling: Still waiting for instructions
Me: okie...then what u going to do later after you reach your hotel?
Darling: Dunno yet. Maybe will rest
Me: Then what time will you set off to dallas tomorrow?
Darling: Should be same time as today, around 8am
Me: All right. You better go have your lunch now.
Darling: okie dear. i call you when i reach my hotel
Me: okie, wait for your call then. Byebye
Darling: Byebye

Darling still does not know that i already knew of his arrival day. I know he meant it to be a surprise. It was sweet, really nice. But too bad, he doesn't know i have made many wives as friends here..haha! =P

I woke up at 9am today to run to CVS, Walgreens, Wal-mart, Dollar Tree & Tom Thumb. I ran to alot of places cos there are some which are OOS. Eventually after 3+ hours, i got all my stuff except for my pork in Tom Thumb. They do not have the pork which i want under clearance. I got 2 helium ballons and 2 photo frames from Dollar General. I am still not sure where to hang the helium balloons. Maybe i will tie it to the burmudas i got for darling and place them just right in front of the door.

My buy in CVS is 2 kotex pantiliner, 2 travel size Renu, 2 dish washing liquid at $0.25 each and 1 pack of throat lozengers @ $1. Total i spent in cvs is $0.00 after coupons. My buys in Walgreens is 2 boxes Tynenol painkiller for $0.25 each. I did not buy anything from wal-mart.

Now i am waiting for my clothes which are still in the dryer. Need to iron some of them. And my irobot is also currently in action while i am typing this post. Irobot is a very good helper! I had already wiped all the tables, counters, TV, photo frames, etc. Bedsheet had been changed and things will be placed nicely in place after the irobot is done with its work =)

7th day home alone

So shug after marketing, putting the food into the right places, making the sambal belacan & wiping the kitchen and toilet floor. I was having a bad headache and took 2 pandadols. Now feeling much better after a bath. The weather is too hot i guess.

Look through the internet for good deals and decide to run a few places tomorrow.

♥ CVS to get my renu contact lens solution & kotex pantiliner
♥ Walgreens to get Rimmel mascara & Tynenol painkiller
♥ Dollar general to get photo frames and ideas for house decoration
♥ Tom Thumb to get pork

I assume i'll spend less than $10 to get all of these. I will need to go early cos i need to get home early too.

Finally darling is setting off back home tomorrow. But he will be spending 1 night at the midpoint, that is why he will only reach Dallas on Wed. It will be great if darling's day-off on fri be approved. Then i can spend 4 full days with him!! =)

These few days, i have been going out with Amelia, Liyi & Bing Bing. Its really nice at times to be with girlfriends (without the husbands around). Girls usually have lots to gossip about and much shopping to do! We go wherever there is sale and we used coupons together, haha! So aunty right???

OMG! My face look so bloated beside the 2 pretty wives, Liyi & Amelia =(

marketing today

Been a long long time since i step into the kitchen to make something. Came back from marketing with Amelia and Liyi. Went Yue Mei, Oriental Food market @Beltline, H-mart, India Bazzar & ice-cream @yogurtland.

I spent a total of $42.23 (incl. ice-cream) in all. The most expensive thing i bought is a lobster from H-mart. It is a 1.37lb lobster selling @$8.21. Its already considered cheap loh. I know darling is a fan of seafood and i shall treat this lobster as a welcome treat for him.

I also bought prawn, some minced pork, chicken wings, vegetable, garlic, ginger, onion, shallot etc. After i came back, i immediately put all the vegetables into the fridge, de-shell the prawns and seperate them, as well as the meat into small packet. De-shelling the prawns is a difficult task for me as my hands will tend to itch after that and true enough, they really do!

Then i went to do my sambal belacan. I prefer to make my own chilli paste cause i use olive oil and able to adjust the taste to my own preference. Also because in singapore, my mum being a half nonya also makes her own chilli paste (she even makes her own bread!). This time round, i made 2 type. 1 is sambal belacan and the other is non-spicy lemongrass paste. The lemongrass paste will be used to marinate the chicken breast and grill them with banana leaf. Recipe can be found here. I tried it before and darling has been asking me to make them again. The sambal belacan can be used for anything! Curry, stir-fry vegetables or even laksa! This is how convenient it is! I love chilli and the one i made is ultra hot! Darling always eat till his back is wet through! Haha! Doing the sambal belacan is not difficult at all. Its only the cutting and blending that require more time. I did not fry my sambal belacan cause i wanna wait till i use it then i fry it.

Tomorrow will be a day to clean the house however, i will still need to make a trip to to get 2 photo frames and pork from Tom Thumb. In Tom Thumb, you will be able to find clearance corner for meat. These meat are supposedly to be sold by that day, thus it is under clearance. Since i am cooking the pork on Thurs, it is no problem for me to buy those clearance meat.

next week's menu

Next week menu, still subject to changes(darling in morning shift so sun dinner will also be his mon's lunch, etc):

Mon dinner
♥ Grilled lemongrass chicken in banana leaf
♥ Lotus root soup
♥ Stir fry sambal belacan sweet potato leaf

Tue dinner
♥ 横财就手之辣椒干卤猪手(Braised Knuckles with Dried Chillies)
♥ stir fry 油菜

Wed dinner
♥ Assam prawn with cabbage & tofu
♥ Black bean with chicken feet soup
♥ Coca cola pork chop

Thurs dinner
♥ Bak kut teh with pig stomach
♥ Boiled 油菜 with oyster sauce
♥ Onion with egg

Fri dinner only
♥ Prawn noodle soup

I will try my best to include a soup in every meal as i believe that soup can take away toxin in our body so it is definitely good for health! I will always try to cook something interesting to make darling's taste bud yearning for more! =)

I saw this yellow school bus through my apartment a few days ago. Immediately i took out my camera and went to my balcony and snap! I think this bus is cute. I am not sure about other states in USA. But over at my side here, all the school buses are similar. They are yellow in colour and with a big STOP sign. In USA here, kids are very well-protected. There are school zones on the road that the speed limit is only 20mph! These school zones are roads in front of schools. They do this so to avoid any tragedy if the kids run across the roads. The car will be able to stop in time. And if you see a school bus letting kids off, all the cars around it must stop until the school bus moves! This is again to protect their kids. Its so nice right? Singapore should have this practice ya. I could never took a nice picture of this bus cos its always in motion on the road. And i feel kinda paiseh to be taking a photo of a bus...ha! How i wish i could ride in this bus..

darling coming back on tues???

Finally set up my Cbox as per Amelia's advice and Liyi's blog =)

According to reliable source, darling may be back on tuesday, though its not yet 100% confirm!! Woohoo...i hope its true cos can see darling in 2 days time but it gives me very little time to prepare! i have to buy the groceries, clean the house, wash & iron the clothes & decorate the house! Yes, decorate the house!!! For all the previous times, i decorated the house with balloons and banners when darling comes home, haha! Maybe i am just too bored. As it was darling's birthday during his last exercise, i decorated the house with happy birthday banners and a big welcome back helium balloon.

I hang the helium balloon at my balcony so darling was able to see it when he parked his carNow i have to hurry and think of ideas liao. I received my free poster-size photo which i ordered from walgreens. Will also need to go to $1 shop/Wal-mart to get a photo frame. Argh, so many things to do!

Will be going for groceries shopping tomorrow with Amelia and Liyi. That will be good cos can exchange tip for recipes! Will need to buy some fresh food so i guess i better bring along an ice-box tomorrow to store those meat and vegetables. These stuff will get spoil easily if leave in the car for too long as tomorrow will be up to 37 degrees.

The sky is starting to get darker earlier now. During summer, it only get dark at about 9+pm, but it will start to get dark at 8+pm nowadays. It means autumn is coming. Wonder if its good or bad. Cos it also means i am going back singapore soon...

6th day home alone

Actually wanna follow Bing Bing and Ailena out to Sprouts and Yue Mei but really too tired liao. Need to recharge my energy first. Its really nice to stay home. Just had my first meal of the day. Pepperidge Farm cookie!

I bought this for only $0.79 last week when Kroger doubled coupons up to $1. Not a healthy snack, i must admit. But i purposely chose the healthiest among all. It is Oatmeal Raisin with 130 calories per cookie. I ate 2, which means 260 calories started for the day =(

As today is Sunday, Darling does not need to work. He is on his way to go out for lunch and a shopping mall with his colleagues.

I had already planned for this coming wed till next fri food.

They are as follows for this coming wednesday till sunday:

♥ Wed dinner - Dou miao 油菜, honey roasted chicken wings, watercress soup(requested by darling), steamed prawns with garlic steamed lobster

♥ Thurs lunch & dinner - Kuey Chap; leftover meat will be brought forward to dinner with rice

♥ Fri lunch & darling's packed dinner - Curry chicken, bee hoon/rice

♥ Sat dinner - Mee Hoon Kueh

♥ Sun dinner - Mee Siam Shallot pork sauce with thick bee hoon/rice for darling's packed lunch on mon

Of cos, everything is subject to changes.

$3.75 on 19 items!

Just came back from CVS, Super Target & Walgreens with again the 3 ladies, Amelia; Bing Bing & Liyi. Had a very good spending time today! I spent only $3.75 on all these!!! Isn't it amazing??? Wahaha!!!

Bing Bing is starting to learn couponings from us! She is so happy that she spent only $0.40 in Super Target! All of us has great buys today!

But of cos, it came with a price. I am so very lack of sleep! Even Amelia, Liyi & Bing Bing as well! I slept at 4+am last night and woke up at 8.30am today to rush for the buys. Haha, guess its just woman. We can sacrifice anything and everything just for the sake of shopping. All right, time to stop spending money already. Else, its gonna be a endless hole. Shall be nice for the next few days to stay at home, unless i am going super target to get free stuff again, wahaha!

waiting waiting waiting

Darling called. He said he just finished his dinner and will be going to the casino. He asked me to wait in the bed for his call when he is back in his hotel but i refused. He also said he will only stay in the casino for only 1 hour. And after that he will go back to his hotel and call me to tuck me to bed. Though i am kinda sleepy now but i guess i will wait =)

5th day home alone

I am now getting used to being home alone now. But i really miss darling and also yearning for his pamperings! Okie, 4 more days to go!!! I must get through it!


Every morning when darling wakes up, he will call me. And every single day i will speak in a very sai-nai voice asking him when he will be home. I know its next wed but i just hope he can bring me good news everyday! He will still reply me in a smiling tone, "next wednesday i will be home, dear."

When i was having dinner with Toom and Bing Bing today. Bing Bing mentioned about something that make me smileeeee! Darling always lunch with her @work and she can always overhear what darling said to me. She imitated darling's voice and said, "Dear, i am having my lunch now......" Toom and i keep laughing as darling always tend to act cool in front of his colleagues. But in front of me, he seems so sweet and nice! Bing Bing said she feels very mushy, hahaha! But Toom told her that love is sweet, especially when u are in the honeymoon stage or newly married. I believe its true but i also believe that darling and i will forever be in the honeymoon stage! Maybe too optimistic, but i really believe that we will be happily ever ever after.

spent $60 today after $100 yesterday =(((

Just came back from Grapevine with Toom and Bing Bing. Today I spent a total of $60!!! Argh, so guilty!!! All thanks to Bing Bing and Toom! They keep saying everything is nice! Hahaha...!! I bought 1 Guess black dress for only $10, 1 F21 grey dress for only $20, 1 Guess burmudas for darling @ only $10 & 1 tank top for only $2.99! I know darling will love the dresses i bought!

I told darling that i am feeling very bad to spend so much...but he is very sweet. He just replied "As long as you are happy, i am happy!"

I wore my jumpsuit i bought yesterday in F21. Pardon me for my messy wet hair in the photo. Does it make me look fat? I hope it doesn't =)))
