n here's something unique, a supplier courier this to me as xmas greetings yest.. there were suppose to be hersleys choc inside but all finished up by my colleagues..

damn shiok to nap tdy... weather very cold esp my area coz is top floor and near the sea.

 

[ckw1011]

[pinkbunny]

i think i spoke too soon about ah huat being guai about the medicine. this morning he lapped it up and i was so surprised. this evening want to give him and he ngeh ngeh mai. i think he knows it will make him drowsy that's why he refuse. so notti. in the end i used a towel and tried to force him. i know it sounds mean .... but it's for his own good!!!!!!!!! in the end he took a bit la. better than nothing. sigh... hard to be a parent hor?

 

[ckw1011]

good morning babes

tis morning i waited & waited, & no bus! think it's probably delayed due to the wet weather (alot of places flooded). end up took a cab 2 work =( then reached opic, pc hung!! heng now ok liao. wat a great start of the day ...

 

[schnauzie]

sianz...y is it only wednesday

?? goin to fry bee hoon tonight..need to test test whether good enuf to serve for housewarmin next week or not! any tips anyone? my ah bu tell me to add more garlic, remember ant's dad say must use chopstick to stir so beehoon wont cui cui..wat else? add soy sauce for taste can liao right?? cooking those white white kind

 

[yongee86]

ohaiyoooo...

Din slept well last night.. think slept too much in the day so can't sleep well at night.

ya, i saw on tv news alot of places flood..

hmmm.. sch, u noe, my in laws n family never give us ang bao for both wedding dinner and house warming leh.. i always thot immediate family no need to give!! wahaha.. seems like ganna con alr..

sch, wau.. house warming and you going to display your good culinary skills!! *whistle* adds tons of garlic and shallots, make it smell very fragant. and if you cooking with those canned pig trotters, remb to remove the top layer of oil or else your beehoon damn oily. good luck.

 

[pinkbunny]

good morning girls!!!

sch, is it that SIL that dui ni you chou one? so pai kuan!!!! your sister is very sweet

yup i heard that beehoon must use chopstick. can add carrots and prawns and fish cake. mmmm mmmm! or if you really scared no taste, then buy the instant beehoon goreng from provision shops.

actually housewarming, in the invitation, we tried to state very clearly that we don't need any more things cos we already have everything we need... so people were more zi dong and gave AP

ant, housewarming my parents didn't give i think. but wedding i think they did but i don't remember how much and i don't remmeber the AP itself leh. but they claimed they gave. maybe they bluff me haha. MIL gave, and ah laos relatives (who didn't attend our wedding) tompang with her. so sweet

lina, so all OK in PC land liao? if not then tell IT your PC spoil so you cannot work then go home! keke

i yeow kwee then go and buy char siu soh. damn nice!!!

[skylar]

Good morning!!!

Wahhh... Lina... really wat a start man! kekee... at least its finally not raining today for a change lor.. finally can see the sun ah..

Pink,
hard to be a parent? pengz.. wahaha... u so mean ah.. use towel to force Ah Huat!! whahaha... then he got kena suffocate by ur towel bor?

Sch..

whahahaha.... *Evil*

Ant..
so u recover from ur cough liao bor? Feeling better?

 

[schnauzie]

pink - wat is char siu soh? my SILs? hmm last time i ask my ah lao then he say his sisters are just very possessive of him like as though every gal is out to cheat or take advantage of him. haha so i told my ah lao tt well now we r married, u r mine so i shld learn from them to be possessive and ask them to hands off!!! haha we all had a good luff coz ah lao knows tt i just dunno how to be possessive ;( but step on my tail and they get it

ya me close to my mum, sis..go shopping etc then they go holiday help me buy clothes, accessories etc.

ant - maybe my ILs think the same way as ur family..mm for my family..our thinkin is tt since we r family the more we must know how to 'zuo ren'..my parents gave me and ah lao a 40inch sony lcd tv. ;p

 

[pinkbunny]

skylar - of course i never squeeze him la! just to have a better 'grip' on him so that he won't slide all over the place! but this morning he more guai. think he knows i will be late for work if he show me his patter haha. very cute, his in the towel, then only can see his face peeping out. then give him the medicine lor. he thinks the towel is a new toy. keep trying to bite it. hamsters are such innocent creatures hor?

lina - i bought from ikea restaurant got local breakfast. $1.50 for 2 char siu soh. nice nice. oh i know that curry chicken place! very limited seating ah. the other items not so fantastic. the curry chicken is not bad but i kena once it was damn lousy... i think the chicken never defrost properly. so i give up liao :S

 

[pinkbunny]

sch, then you can tell his sisters: now that you're his wife, he's YOUR MAN now, so you be possessive of him, and you treat them like how they treat you before marriage!!!

aiyah never take photo of char siew soh to show.. http://www.ikea.com.sg/store_services/breakfast.asp check out 'wednesday'!

 

[skylar]

Pink..
no doubt abt it.. i love their innocent looks...haiz.. .dun make me keep another one can?? hng!!

Sch
Char siu soh is something like those baked pastry but with char siu inside lor.. quite yummy I would say.. there is a tim sum shop here that sells that too.. great teatime snack

 

[ckw1011]

ikea local bfast? wah, happening

 

[skylar]

Wahh.. not bad man! really happening leh! kekeke.. for a change its local rather than hotdogs & meatballs .. whahaha...

 

[schnauzie]

pink - looks yummy!!! nnv know ikea does local bfast..goin to try it one day given the chance!! char siu soh i nv eat b4 but looks GOOD!

yup goin to show the MU LAO HU instinct hehe

anyway wat did all of u plan for xmas? me got no plans yet

 

[pinkbunny]

ya, he always give me that innocent look hehe.

actually (not advertising, but just matter-of-fact), ikea has had local meals for some time now. just go and kua kua at the menu, you'll see more than meatballs and salmon. there's a daily local (sometimes nasi goreng, sometimes braised rice, sometimes fish and chives... and today it's curry chicken i think), and a vegetarian set. alot of people always say 'aiyah always meatballs only' but never open eyes big big to see.

wise words of my papa: 'always open your eyes before you open your mouth'

 

[pinkbunny]

sch, must practice your fierce look in front of mirror every night! haha. hey when will you get to choose your photos from your bridal shop? don't let them con you hor! can always bargain and cham siong for better price one when you pick more pics!

xmas lunch at auntie's house, pot luck, bringing mee goreng. xmas dinner at colleague's house. boxing day evening, another xmas dinner at another collaegue's house.

 

[schnauzie]

wah pink - u very happening!! all my colleagues say scare house dirty don wanna open house!

 

[yongee86]

me just done with mtg with boss.. damn siong.. start from the moment i entered into office. discuss on many issues which equate to more biz trips.. darn!

then tok about my workload and i keep saying i need assistant to off load. he wants me to pass some to new coll but still never give me the empowerment to be his boss.. like tat how to work???? si beh pek chek..

sch.. for me, i rather in laws n family dun give me any $$ or gifts.. or else, they will start interferring wif all the decision making. rather not man.. FIL wanted to give us some $$ to foot the wedding costs but b4 we even seen the $$ in our bank a/c, his whole family incl his kapoh bro starts interferring with all decisions. they think that since their dad is paying for parts of it, they can make decisions on our behalf! then i told hubby not to take the $$$.. i rather b poorer den to let someone lord over my life.

pre xmas eve - in laws whole family clan plus their neighbours r gg to cramm into my small hse
xmas eve - hubby frens r coming over..

so i'm gg to be maid for 2 days in a row to clean, wash, cook and serve food!!!

skylar, me not having cough. it is fever plus throat infection. throat still pain n got not much appetite lor.

 

[pinkbunny]
