Reflections

So fast, its Mon again. This wkend passed pretty fast. Guess becos its a bit packed that's why.

On Sat, aft dear dear came back fr wk, we doze off till 3pm. Then headed to City hall for a late lunch. We had lunch at Asian kitchen in B1. It was really nice. The roast duck, deep fried toufu and duck with salted veg soup were really nice. Must try!! Guess also dear dear luvs roast duck (which is smthg i can never do at hm).

Thereaft, we shopped ard. For me, still looking at shoes. Finally gave up as no matter how many times i looked at them, i just can't find smthg i like at Robinsons. Maybe at the end of day, i don't find a need, so i can never find a pair that catch my eyes. In the end, we use the voucher to buy an electric toothbrush for dear dear. He hasn't been to a dentist for donkey years so its gd that he takes care of them at hm. We also bought whitening toothpaste hee;) My teeth is too yellowish i find, guess aft all these yrs of medication, that's the effect. Hopefully it'll help. Suppose to use it for a consecutive 14 days. Hee i tried dear dear's electric toothbrush. Wow its really super gd!! So much cleaner than normal brush. 2-3 times cleaner i guess. The rotating brush is gd, can reach the teeth deep inside. Hmm so tempted to get one myself but the cheaper version. Battery operated ones than rechargeable.

Oh ya we also went ard looking for bag for his bintan team building trip. The bags we had at hm either way to big or a bit old already, wear & tear. By in the end, didn't get as Robinsons didn't really hv much varieties. Also we bought bermuda for dear dear for his trip. The ones he has at hm are really old i hv to admit. Cannot show pple hee. Some of them he has been wearing them when we 1st met 10 years ago hee ;) ?! So we bought one at $16.90. Mm that's reasonable & comfy. I like cotton ones. Hee we also bought briefs for dear dear hee ;p So nice & sexy ha ha

Whatelse le, look at phone & camera. But just look look see see as this is a relatively big investmt. But guess dear dear really needed a new ph. The samsung ph is giving him pblms. The reception is poor at times and the battery life is the killing part. Guess becos of its slimmest, it suffers on battery life. So here i m, selling sony ericsson ph to him ha ha;)

In betw judy called, so nice to hear her voice ;) But too bad cldn't join them as dear dear needed to get stuff. Nxt time ok ;)

Oh ya this time rd, i tried the black sesame ice cream. Hmm not as nice as the green tea with red bean. And we felt cheated!! Last time, the guy wld fill up the whole cup but now he only gave us 2 small scoops, which maybe add up to only half a cup. So upset that they managed biz this way to cut cost and increase profit :(

Thereaft we headed for hm, spent time with toby. Hee at close to midnight we left hm again for dinner, supper la. So unhealthy right but guess ok la as its weekend hee ;) We went to macpherson. The big coffeeshop seems like closing down?? So many stalls were empty. Totally empty, just left the open tiles on the floor. Renovation? So we went to the smaller coffee open bengawan solo. Seems like newly opened. Don't recall seeing it last time. Food not too bad.

On Sun, we brought toby down to play frisbee 1st thing in the morning. So surprise that dear dear initiated that. He also felt bad that we didn't spend time with Toby on Sat. So they played. See toby so tired aft the play, the whole tongue falling out!

Thereaft, we went to hougang for brunch. While walking ard hougan mall aft the meal, we saw this young man in boxer short! So i asked dear dear again, is it only me that find it inappropriate? Dear dear also said its really not right to wear it to the streets. So funny, add some favours to our lives ha ha. Hee we walked passed the durian stall but didn't buy as we were full. So nice to see them still ard ;)

In the late afternoon, we headed back to my pil place. Yesterday, we went out for dinner. Dunno what's the occasion, my fil asked ah ma along. So together with the 2 maids, 10 of us having dinner. So unusual. Guess he is really happy to be ah gong now. Baby brandon was there too! Oh ya did i share that my mil's maid, Lucy, is very gd at taking care of babies. Wow she is so so experienced. Get to know that back at Indonesia, she helped to take her of her younger siblings. She is very attentive. She really off load a lot for my sil. Oh here's the pic of ah ma. Though she is 90 yrs alreadi, she still looks so radiant.

Hmm below are the sadder parts of my day. Mixed feelings. Dear dear shared to my mil that he wld be going to bintan for teambuilding. The immediate response was cld they (my pils, my bil and 2 relatives) come along. Dear dear welcome them as they can enjoy corporate rates. As for me, mixed feeling. On one hand, know that its nice to bring them along as a family outing. On the other hand, just wanna time alone with dear dear. Can't imagine in future, if we ever want to go overseas, will they be coming every time? (The other time, we shared tt we wld like to go for an overseas tour, they also suggested a family overseas tour) Its also not right to hide fr them. So hv this mixed feeling. So dear dear assured me that even we go together as a grp, we can hv time alone. We can go spa together w/o them. True also la. Will learn as i grow to be a better wife & dil. And then during dinner, dear dear shared that he went to bintan on last Thu. The immediate reaction fr my mil was why wasn't she informed. And the next qn came immediately, did Lishi go with you? I just felt lousy at that moment when she asked the 2nd part. Does it mean she will be upset if i had gone with YH? Why can't we spend time together alone away? But i guess i m too sensitive. I must say i am still learning to be a gd wife and dil. On one hand i really do enjoy family gathering, on other hand, i wanna time alone with dear dear. Guess i also need to learn to let go. I can hv best of both worlds if i learn to let go of my expectations. Then i can be a better person, a happier person. Suddenly remember this -WWJD "What wld jesus do". In nav, we were taught on WWJD when we were caught in situation. Hmm still a long way to christ likeness ...aiyoyo..;p
