It's coming to 2am and I am still very much wide-awake (Slept too much in the day...) Well, it used to be a sleeping routine for me when I was still studying. That was when I had abundant time for myself (How I miss those days!) Woke up at 9am this morning to wash and doll up before taking Bus 196 to Suntec City with Fat Boy to meet Yam Gal and Isaac for breakfast (I simply love MacDonald's Sausage McMuffin with Egg...)
We took the bus home to be in time to fetch Gramps and the rest for lunch at Crystal Jade Restaurant in Ngee Ann City : D (She loves the food there : ) ) We had steamed cod fish with tau pok, roasted duck drizzled with curry sauce, steamed scallops topped with garlic, stir-fried kale, garlic porkribs (Yummy!) as well as some dim sum dishes like pork porridge, pan-fried carrot cake with bacon bits and egg tarts! It was a hearty lunch because I didn't feel like eating anything afterwards, but I was wrong : /
On our way home, Aunt Maddy suggested dropping by Zi Yean restaurant at Lengkok Bahru to purchase a box of yu sheng home since everybody was present for lo hei (Well, we did and we felt fuller than usual. Argh!) As I was totally tired from all the eating, I quickly washed up and hopped into bed. Guess I need sleep more than anything else. What was supposed to be a short nap turned out to be a long one - I woke up at 8pm and watched "Poisedon" while tucking into porridge with sesame-and-chilli-oil-soaked beancurd cubes and runny egg drizzled with dark soya sauce (Ooohhh...my love)
As for last Saturday, Fat Boy and I went to Johor Bahru to select my ROM dress. I was so excited when I saw the 4 dresses that the wedding coordinator had prepared for me. The 1st dress was the common shimmery ROM dress that every bride wears and to be frank, my excitement dipped : / It looked nice, but I felt that it was too long for me (Anything that goes beyond the knees is mumsy) As for the 2nd dress, it was nice with its shimmer and design, but its cut was too A-line that it looked 2D : / I liked the design of the 3rd dress, but too bad, it was in dirty-green and there was no room for consideration as I couldn't zip up : ( As for the last dress which was in lavender, I didn't choose it as it gave the visual effect of me being pregnant. Feeling undaunted, I requested to look at more dresses which were stashed in the wardrobe. A fuschia pink dress with gold trimmings caught my eye and I requested to try it and....Bingo! I felt as if it was tailormade for me albeit size discrepancy (No issue as the wedding coordinator said that it could be fixed : ) ) I am going to Primtemps on the following Saturday to try on the altered fuschia pink dress and if everything runs smoothly, I am going to bring it home : D
Last Friday evening, I had a small dinner gathering with Fat Boy, Rightie, Adeline, Claudia and Sunshine Boy at Oosters. We had fruity brew, mussels cooked in spicy tomato broth and white wine broth, fried pork knuckle and mixed platter which was nothing interesting, but shocking with lotsa french fries (Who the hell would want to pay 41 bucks for bloody french fries and a couple of croquettes and sausages?) Though the session ended short, I was truly happy to catch up with both Rightie and Adeline; not that we do not communicate via email on a daily basis, but it is always much better to see them face-to-face and to give occasional cuddles? ; ) *Muakz*
