The One with My Rants Part 2
Feeling a bit under the weather since yesterday. Despite the fact that I bundled meself up pretty good, I still found myself shivering relentlessly in the office. So I left work an hour earlier hoping to come back home and shiver on my bed instead. My initial thought was to cab home from work because I was feeling really horrid. Then I saw the cab queue at Tower 2 and was shocked beyond belief. Where did all these people come from?? 4pm on a Tuesday afternoon! Good grief!
So I thought, all rightie then, I'll take a bus to town and take a cab from there. I alighted somewhere along Somerset hoping to catch a cab. But along came my usual bus just 20 seconds after I got off and I debated for a good 30 seconds before boarding it and heading home. Just saved myself a good $15.
Came home and fell on my bed immediately with my work clothes on and napped for 20mins (all the while shivering like an abandoned puppy). Oh what I wouldn't give for a working fireplace and some warm flannel PJs. Woke up even groggier so I decided that it was time to start self medicating.
Eugene is my drug dictionary. I usually consult Dr Chua before attempting to pop pills because I'm too young to die. In my semi-conscious state yesterday I browsed my medicine box only to be faced with a bunch of nonsensical medical terms that made absolutely no sense to my groggy brain.
"Danzen, Arcoxia, Paracetamol, Acetaminophen whatchamacallit wtfffff...."
I searched my brain for something that Eugene said to me the last time I was ill, something along the line of a box called Zrytec whatever. Found and popped them, then changed into decent clothes and went back to bed. Slot in a dinner session with dad in between and that was my night.
Perhaps it's my body's way of rejecting the thought that he's away, coz I'm feeling better today knowing that he's coming back tonight. Whee! :)
Something else to get Sylvia excited about... Les Miserables in the theatres on Christmas! I have been conscientiously writing to Sistic about bringing Les Miserables, The Musical to Singapore since the last time it showed in Singapore was when I was 13. C'MON MAN SISTIC! How long more are you gonna make me wait you bastards!
Still have some Christmas shopping to get done. Hoping to finish the task at Candy Empire today because I know they have some excellent promotion on cookies. Will make a nice gift I reckon for some special people. Who doesn't like cookies! :)
Happy Wednesday Peeps!

The One with My Rants
Just got news that our wedding album's gonna be delayed.
&%^%$#^%$^%!
The JWN graphic designer is on his annual leave and won't be back till the 22nd Dec so that means that the earliest the album could be up for preview is January. Whyyyy so slow....
*breathes*
Just 2 short weeks before the countdown to the AD hits the 3-month mark. Hubs and I are planning a vacay / mini-moon in August since we have an event to attend to. But I do really wanna go on the actual honeymoon once we get the house settled. Or maybe before the house arrives, we're not really sure. HDB is really slow in updating the PCD and the tentative date is set at Dec 2013. Like really? Aren't you guys painting the blocks already?
I'm hubby-less for a good 4 days come next week. He's off to Penang for his biz trip and off again to HK on boxing day. The reality of having a jet-setting husband is starting to sink in, and is frankly getting a bit annoying. What's gonna happen when we move in together? Am I gonna be home alone in an empty apartment cooking for one and watching Sex and the City re-runs on weekdays re-living my single-dom?
Or perhaps, I'll love it even more simply because I get to do ANYTHING I WANT!! *evil laughter*
Let's shelf this thought and come back to it when it happens shall we? Remind me to blog about my lonesome / awesome self once such occasion arises.
I'm really really excited that Christmas is almost here! There's absolutely nothing better than Christmas because I looooove how cold it is (not how wet it is though), how beautiful the streets look and how at Christmas, everybody seems so much happier and brighter! Not to mention, beautiful wrapping papers, hot chocolate in beautiful Starbucks cups and amazing holiday sales... *salivates*
What do you like best about Christmas? :)

Ok... I didn't either. I googled and entered the contest which was sent to my work mail one boring Monday morning with the answer as fast as I could and won dining vouchers for the both of us and the most sinful indulgence for a bride-to-be. 200 mega fattening and divine grams of Famous Amos no-nut crunchy chocolate chip cookies.
DIED and gone to heaven.
And darling, I love u but NO, you can't have the cookies. >.<
Whew.. one whole week has gone by already. Thank god coz I'm exhausted. TGIF!!! Happy friday everyone!

The One with the Anni-Birthsary
This yr, Eugene's birthday was extra special. Extra special in the sense that a yr ago on this day we were frantically preparing for the ROM the next day and praying to all the Gods that it will be bright and sunny. I remembered going to Cold Storage in the afternoon and buying the largest onion I could find and grabbing a pack of chilli padi all raring to pepper the lawns on Merchant Court. Such an intense day it was. So this yr, we relished in the fact that all the drama was over and that we could properly celebrate our 1 yr anniversary as well as his 27th birthday.
We went to the good ol' Ember which has given us nothing but fond memories of it's delectable foodie goodness. Once again, this little gem did not disappoint.
We dined on truffle infused cold soba and the best lobster bisque in the world for starters. I had the foie gras with mirin and shitake while the birthday boy chose the special of the month foie gras with poached egg for appetizers. Yumsss to the power of infinity. Main courses were duck confit and beef tenderloin which was cooked to perfection. We finished off the sumptious meal with my favourite chocolate fondant and pear tart. The wait staff had forgotten the "Happy Birthday" to be written on the birthday boy's dessert. No candle was given either. I was utterly disappointed and a tad pissed, because it was the grand finale afterall. So I walked up to Lilian and expressed my displeasure to which they admitted their mistake and apologized because they knew very well that I had called to remind them, twice. So they surprised Eugene with a third dessert of a coconut panna cotta with a candle to express their apology. By this time, we wanted to concuss from the massive food intake, but we sucked it up and ate half of it anyway. All in all, c'est magnifique. Couldn't ask for a better dinner.
The birthday boy surprised me with an anniversary present from Tag Heuer. My first grown-up watch! It's to remind me that he'll always make time for me despite his busy schedule. It was a really sweet gesture. :)
I surprised him back with the Bally loafers that he's been coveting for a couple of years now but could never bring himself to buy. That makes 2 happy puppies.
Happy Anni-birthsary darling boy! May all your dreams come true! :)
