Short nuggets of life

Been reading loads of blogs and realised that I've been neglected my own. Cobwebs are hanging precariously on my blog! Sorry for the inactivity. Not that it bothers you a bit. It's all inspiring to blog yet irritating all at the same time. It's a sad affair.

Well, for the last two wks, a fair bit had been happening, which probably would render me over the hill prematurely! Been religiously slapping on my La Mer in feeble attempts at self-consolation. Shan't digress and whine about aging.

Short nuggets of life.....

Invited good friends over for a feast the previous Sunday. Been a while since I've whipped up a glorious meal. This time, on the menu were Fish head curry; Prawn Paste Chicken (I've finally found the way to fry it to perfection! Thanks to L and X who came by to "experiment" with me); "4 seasons" French Beans; Eggs; Watercress soup (Delectably sweet this time unlike the previous attempt where the soup tasted bitter. They say it's due to the fact that the watercress is "old"..hmm...how in the world would I be able to decipher its age!!?). Fish head curry had a success rate of 90% ...something's missing but everybody's opinion is varied eg lacks curry powder, lacks sugar, lacks salt -- which makes me ponder "Is my curry fish head that bad?haha".

Being city slickers, it's inevitable that work is pretty much an everyday affair. In fact, sometimes, my work cause me to be a little dislocated from the rest of the working world, but life goes on. It's hard to slow down, but sometimes we just need to..otherwise, we may suffer it's repercussions --- SICK! Yes. that's what I am right now. Cough, Sneezes and vomiting -- all attacking me with one single blow. My vomiting episode must have scared sweetie. He was sleeping peacefully when suddenly, my bouts of puke woke him up. It must have been indigestion. Eating such a heavy dinner at 11pm was the culprit. Unfortunately, the word "REST" is missing in my dictionary. Thus I can only depend on my staple beverage now -- WATER. Have to be strong!! My mental and physical strength are waning!


On happier notes, we celebrated Teddy's 31st birthday on Friday 22 Jan. Feels like Chinese New Year with so many familiar faces gathered. Minus the season greetings that will cascade out during CNY, rowdy peals of laughter from the boys reverberated throughout the house. The mood was pretty euphoric and the endorphins certainly reached a high when the gambling started. Those men can sure gamble, anytime, anywhere! *Applause* Speaking of CNY, it's quite a dread that it's round the corner. Used to be a joy but after marriage came ang bao giving. That isn't so joyful amidst the economic crisis. Crisis or no crisis, the tradition still stands strong. Been trying to clear things bit by bit. Am sooo thankful I cleared my clothes during the school hols, otherwise, I'd be having a tough time doing so now. However, there's still lots to do -- washing of curtains and bedsheets, cleaning of windows (thankfully with the help of Comfyhomes, first round's done!); clearing of bags and the list goes on. I'm quite a hoarder. I probably got this trait from my parents. Fortunately, in this aspect, sweetie's a great help! Love him to bits for this. This year, I would not be engaging part time maids for mommy coz (1) she pissed me off (2) she treats maids better than she treats me (3) I paid for the whole house to be cleaned, but she's always asking maids to do only the living and kitchen. So yes, instead of hyperventilating, I shall take the more holistic approach -- BO CHUP (don't care!)


The thorn enjoying the company of the many roses.
W scooping up the last ounce of aphrodisiac like an avaricious glutton!

It's not easy to handle chores and work all in one. We have to cram as much as possible within a finite number of hours. And since I'm quite a hoarder, it makes things harder. Will have to confront the skeletons to make space for more hoarding! haha..Already I've snagged up a couple of quick deals online. Hopefully there's still space to store! I need a bigger walk in closet!! *delusional* You may think that I hoard only clothes...boy are you wrong! Spring cleaned my fridge just the other day and had to throw out a whole lot of expired stuff!


So much to do, so little time! Need to make appointment for my next vaccine, cut my hair (Bangs or no bangs? hmmm); visit the bank to obtain fresh wads of notes, and most importantly, nurse myself back to health. Maybe I should give myself an off day tomorrow...watcha think?
