There was an 'urgent staff meeting' yesterday.
Agenda of meeting? Nothing new. H1N1 flu.
Seriously, if it's such a hassle, schools should just close for 1 week since the LOA period is for 7 days. And we have to be in class by 6.45 a.m. I don't see how I can make it to school on time. It's insane, an unEarthly hour to be in class, to be anywhere for that matter.

Anyway, I was reading Moddie's account of her having scones and tea. I love scones and tea! When I was in London, we had piping hot, fresh from the oven scones with home made strawberry jam and to-die-for cream. Yum... I'm salivating just thinking about them. I've a good mind to pop down tomorrow. Ooooh...

Right now, I'm too tired to go anywhere. Stomach's heavy after lunch and eyes are droopy. I had to force myself to wake up early to settle some stuff. And because of that, I had to call Singtel to privatise my mobile no. just so that my number will not appear on their screens. It's so stupid, I can't tell you just how stupid this whole thing is. And I'm positive I'm not the only one feeling this way. And that is why, I feel that I deserve a little of that tender loving care i.e. scones and tea, after such a frustrating week.

Here's to yummy scones and tea!

The good news are not confirmed yet. But I feel that it's just a matter of time.
I'm trying not to think about them.

Last night was a reminiscence of our singlehood days. Those were the days that when I was told to fill up forms, I'd be looking for the words "attached" or "engaged", the latter was a word that I looked for at a much later date of course. And because of that, I felt so silly! Haha. Obviously, official letters come with only "single" or "married". Who cared if I was attached or engaged, right?

Anyway, this entry is not about that. Last night, we had dinner at Ramen Ten before I accompanied him for his jamming session after which, we chilled at a coffeeshop. Then we headed to JB and finally reached home at 4 this morning. That only happened when I was a student with no morning lessons the next day. It was all in the name of fun! Now, I hardly get to do this anymore since my work begins sooo irritatingly early, and ends so fucking late. It's inhuman. Oh, I don't even want to go there. I can rant for hours.

Going back to where I was, last night was really fun. It's been such a long time that I've laughed so much over the silliest things. I'm happy that the hubby meets his friends on a frequent basis. I hardly have anyone to meet on a frequent basis! Everyone's busy and tired with work and personal lives. That somehow, seems to come naturally with age.

Anyway, I'm feeling so fucked up this morning. Okay, not so morning anymore. More like afternoon but since I've only just woken up, it feels like morning to me. There's only 1.5 weeks left of hols only! Aaaaargh! The agony. I knew I was cut out for tai-tai life. I don't mind staying home and doing nothing, with the maid around of course. I'm perfectly happy. As and when I need to shop, I'll just drive over to the malls. How nice. Contrary to what Mum says, I'm positive I can keep up this lifestyle for a very long period of time since I'm so good at being lazy and spending money. Haha!

Okay, enough fantasy for now.

Stop it.

Enough.

Bibik and I made our potato salmon yesterday! Bibik did most of the work cos I was too afraid to use the knife, cut the ingredients and have anything to do with saute-ing. So I scraped the potato, told her when to put what, poured in the cream and milk, stirred the filling when it was all mixed together and filled the potato jackets with the filling. Even Mummy was proud of me when I told her I did all that! Yay!
And it's one of hubby's favourite dishes since he moved in with us. Usually, Mum makes them. His eyes lit with brilliance when I told him I was going to attempt to make the potato salmon earlier during the day.

Today, I'm making sushi. The hubby's on course this week, which means he comes home everyday. Don't know why but I've a desire to whip up something for him every day of this week. With the help of bibik of course. I'm such a scaredy cad when it comes to handling kitchen utensils. I'm hitting Isetan supermarket in a while... Need to come up with my list of things to buy now...

Since I'm blogging bout this, I might as well just list it down here:
  1. bamboo mat (lost the old one)
  2. nori
  3. knife
  4. prawn
  5. apple
  6. salad dressing
  7. salmon (again... but I don't know how to 'smoke' salmon such that it still tastes fresh)
  8. wasabi
That's about all that I can think of now.

Oh! And I came across this super interesting website that I've been working on since yesterday afternoon. Hopefully the hubby's not too tired later in the evening and can help me edit the layout. Then I can send it for print! Can't wait for the final product already!

Gotta bathe and start the day in full swing! Sushi making day...

I'm enjoying every minute of my break. And I'm so sad every time I look at the calendar and realise that there's 2.5 weeks more only! Looking on the bright side, we don't have to return to school on the last week of hols. My P's the best! Heh.

Anyway, I finally checked out Uniqlo last weekend. I seriously don't get that vibe of "cool" clothes from the ads. All I got were home wear which cost me about 100+ in total. But they're comfy. Gotta give it to them when they said their cotton was the best grade.

I'm feeling woozy now. Cos I didn't sleep after bidding the hubby adieu this morning. And I can't help but miss him now. I know it's silly. He's gone to work. And he'll be back tomorrow. Now that's the tough part... Sighz.

I should just take a nap now before hitting town later in the afternoon. Robinson's having their gst absorption sale and I can't wait to get my hands on a few things!

Ooooh!
So exciting!

I waited so long for this day to come!
In fact, I've been waiting since the start of Term 2!
The day that I can finally have a break starts officially today... Yay!

I have soooo many things that I want to do now that the holidays have started.
For one, I wanna clean up my room. His things are scattered all over the place.
Really need to clear a few things so that there's space to keep his things.
I'm still getting used to a lot of things though...
But I'm loving married life =)
Not that there're many changes to my lifestyle except that bibik doesn't keep my clothes in the wardrobe anymore! Except when he's at work. And that really irks me sometimes cos it's just sitting there on the side table.
I'm still getting used to keeping my clothes in the wardrobe when it's sitting there.
Sighz.

I'm already thinking of going shopping on Friday.
This is sooo exciting!
