Yet another week

Have been supporting local brand for a while now, first coffee and now locally grown green tea. Best of all, they are all fair trade products!



Found some time this afternoon after our check-up for some shopping. P finally gave up on using his megaphone. Tab is officially given up for his Galaxy. As for me, I finally found a very nice tea set after weeks of hunting! Not an avant garde set but it's very exquisite. Makes my day drinking from a pretty pot!



We opted for a pre pregnancy check-up package at a ob-gyn center in a local hospital. Getting the routine checks, plus the immunity against Hep A and B and German Measles checks. Results in 10 days, then probably immunization after, if required. Everything else will only come when the check-ups wrap up. It's strange how you can suddenly switch from a not ready mode to a ready mode. Preparing ourselves physically and mentally is the first baby step, everything else we'll hope that it comes naturally.

Adele

Have been listening to Adele's 21 and then went back to 19. Daydreamer is a brilliant song and Adele's expression with her soul-jazzy voice is amazing.

Nike Training Club

The Nike Training Club app is probably the best (and craziest) app I have so far.

I lasted 20 minutes yesterday (not completing the 30 mins routine) and woke up with aching thighs, arms and abs.

My target: 30 mins everyday for a month!

Mulberry

I first saw my desired Mulberry in London, then in Singapore. Now, I freaking cannot erase the thought off my mind to buy one. Mini Alexa is 525 pounds in London but in Singapore, it's almost double in price.

Don't let me see you again.

Changes

Back on my bed. It's strange how you start getting used to unfamiliar environment and over time the unfamiliarity becomes something you grow used to. This bed for example, makes me get to sleep easily.

Spent a whole 10 days back home and I love the pace of my trip this time round. I managed to meet friends occasionally and balanced it well with quality family time. I met friends who I have not met in years. It's interesting how you can not see people you know for so long and yet the connection exists and retains. Meeting up again is like the times have been relived.

I wonder how my parents are coping now with both their girls married. I met MM like 9 out of the 10 days but still feel incredibly weird when she bides goodbye at night then leaves for her own place. I miss the late night chats and it kinda became a routine for my trips. As she moves out, this habitual practice is put to an abrupt end.

Even changes changed.

Celebrating our 4th year of marriage

Called to book a table for 2 at our current favourite.

Chef said: " For 2? You like cous cous? Fish? I will cook you something nice"

Woohoo. I cannot wait for 7pm to come.

Impatient us did the gift exchange last night, and as what we do all the time, it's lots of guessing and acting suspiciously. The build-up was unbearable so each declared to not wait till the clock strikes 12. P was enjoying the fun of picking presents, guessing and dropping hints. Into our 5th year of marriage, this probably is the one greatest change in him.

We have our fair share of squabbles as all others do, but I am happy that we are able to (most of the time) give in to each others nonsense and occasional mood swings. It's amazing how much we have both changed to accommodate each other and taught each other things about life that we never knew before. One of the greatest lessons P taught me was never to expect anything from anyone. Never be nice thinking that you will get the same treatment back. That's pretentious. I hope that year after year, we will not forget our "please"s and "thank you"s, be polite to each other always and P will still be asking me to leave the dishes to him.

Let's see what I will blog on our 5th anniversary.
