My hubs' way of telling me i worked too long hrs...

Recently, due to the Bupa invoices which requires super long time to verify and do data entry,i had to work extra hours to finish the invoices thus allowing it to be ready for payment..the fact tt i spent my whole wk concentrating on the Bupa invoices that i neglected other invoices and this results me working more hrs to clear the back log...

Hubs been quite understanding at 1st, since we are in the same line, he noes tat this is unavoidable..but then his patience got thinner by the 5th day...whahah but realli, is not i wan de..but then its my responsibility to clear them no matter whether who left the backlog on..

so 1 nite, when i reach hm, he was asking me "you have been super busy n tired recently, no time to do ur homework hor??" He meant to say about our taipei getaway, where i shd be doing the research and planning the trip, instead, recently, all is on my mind are all the work and invoices...

den he told me he that he thinks when we go taipei this time, the onli 2 places we will go in shilin night market and the beitou hot spring and we will shuttle btw this 2 places for the 4 days we are there...whhahaa...hmmm i forgot the exact words le..but the tone he use is damn funnie lo..whahha

okie la, i promise u hubs, tt i will find time to do my hw n make this trip a pleasant 1 kk..meanwhile let me finish wat i gotta finish in order for me to haf a peaceful mind to go on this trip....whahha

Hot Piping Noodles..

Came bak hm today feeling veri hungry..becuz my dinner consist of a fruit cup n 6pcs nuggets..whahah..my colleagues all think i eat too much but seriously if i dun eat, if i dun eat, i will feel veri lethargic lo...so i was thinkin of eat noodles after shower..

But 1st thing 1st, I would need to take a shower 1st...Before i went to take my shower, i was asking hubs whether i will be seeing a bowl of piping hot noodles on the table after i come bak from shower...

His reply?"No, you will not"without even a 2nd tot kk?super heartless..n true to his words, when i came bak frm shower, his eyes are still glued to his lappie on his game...tok about a loving hubs!!!

In the end, i started my chant of how he dun love n care 4 me anymore..this is my usual way of doin when i dun get things my way...whahahha..actually this is a useful way kk...He immediately offer to cook the noodles after i started my chant..whahah..but too late, i oredi go cook my own noodles le...

Haiz...Married liao realli feel different...wahahhaha

To tie down a guy's stomach..

Every 1 around me noes i cannot cook..okie, mayb onli maggie mee..whahha even my colleague, who had not known me 4 long told me tt i dun look like those who can do hse work, let alone cook..damn,he is damn rite..but hey, i am learnin as time goes along kk...4 i am nt livin with mummy now, i gotta depend on myself on alot of things...

Realli, I am not praisin myself..You shd see the change in me...i used to nt lift a fingers to do hse work, heheh cuz mummy thinks i am tired enuff dealin with work n sch, n she finds tt my standard of hsework is way below her expectations...but when i got my own hse, i haf no choice..even my hse cleanin skills are sub standards, i gotta do it on my own n fine tune it till i get it rite..plus hubs dun realli complains...whahah unless he wans to do it himself..hehehe

Recently, i found a secret weapon to start cooking...the slow cooker..whahah i was chattin wif my colleague over lunch 1 day and she told me she makes tonic 4 herself regularly..basically, her way is to throw everything into the slow cooker, add water, stew 4 2 hrs and volia! the tonic is ready to drink..whahah it sets me thinkin, i love drinkin tonic or soup for tt matter, mayb i shd get myself a slow coooker and start frm there?

我的秘密武器。。。

I called mummy and asked her wat size of slow cooker or brand shd i buy to make enuff soup for hubs n me..i dun wanna to cook too much and end up we cannot finish it..she reminded me that i still have a slow cooker that i put in her hse...it was some free gift n tt time as i dunno wat to do with it, i brought it bak to her..whahah it was time to take bak...

I tried makin soup for the past 2 sats..hmmm it started with i found a paste like thingy from NTUC from Eu Ren Shen and Maggie..which says all i need to do, is to add that to water and throw in some meat to stew...heheh i follow suit lo.. and mummy told me to use pork instead of chickie cuz she says is better..on top of it, i brought a pack of guo qi zi..which is suppose to be good for our eyes..then i rem my mum in law teachin me tt can add a bottle of chicken esscence when makin soup..and yes, it was a success!hubs say nt bad..whahhhaha he beri give face kk, drank the soup even though he dun like soup..hehehe

we went Carrefour last wk and i saw those off the rack herbs pac and i brought 3 packs of it..hehe hoping to make different soups for hubs..hehe..yest i try out the new receipe le...heheh..its 杜仲补腰汤..cuz hubs been playing tt for quite some time n with all the exercising, i tink this soup is more suitable for him...

Brought off the rack from Carrefour

I went NTUC in the mornin to get the meat required..Y dun buy from market, is becuz i dunno how to ask the uncle..whahah so in the end, i got it off rack, plus it is cheaper..hehe n i need the meet for making the soup onli, need not get those fresh frm market, which will cost twice as much...then i aso got a soup makin receipe book..whahah the NTUC cashier was askin me whether the soup inside nice or nt..n i told her, i juz brought the book leh, haven try out..heheh i will find time to go see wat soup hubs wanna drink and try to make..but i will start with the simple 1 1st..

1 thing the book taught me is, to boil some water 1st and scale the meat before throwing them into the soup as it will remove the strench and blood in the meat, aso makin it less oily..this mummy had not taught me leh, in fact, i was the 1 who called home n told her after readin it in the book..whahah...

Pork I brought from NTUC

As the recommended amt of water is 1litre, and my cooker is a smaller 1..i separate half the herbs and keep it for next cooking..hence, it will nt make the soup too concentrated and bitter to drink..this time rnd, however i did nt add chicken essence as this soup is nt for 提神purpose...

Soaking the 枸杞子


Cut the meat into dice, washed it, waiting for water to boil now...

i let it boiled for 2hrs, before switchin it to heatin mode while waiting for hubs to reach home to drink..in the midst of boiling, i aso went to clear my weekly hse work tasks of ironin clothes, clearing the laundry baskets and cleaning my room..

Throwing everything into the slow cooker..

Hubs told me tat he looked forward to me lookin a proper meal for him in time to come ..which i promise that i will try..whaha but 1st thing 1st..let me master my soups 1st kk?whahah its an easier task..heheh..well, it is nt easy being someone's wife isnt it..hhehehehe

回到最初，最自然，最灿烂的笑容，没有钻石的爱情我也会被感动

In this modern world of SG, where every 1 is chasin after paper qualifications, climbing the corporate ladders, many of us juz simply 4get to take a step back wards and stop to appreciate our surroundings, appreciate our family memebers and loves ones..

Since we got married, we were busy with sch, with work, with respective families with every thing else and 4got to leave them for ourselves.Many will say, u r married wat, u lived together, so basically u r spending them together.WRONG!

The fact that we are married, living on our own makes us even more distanced. We worked on wkdays, attending sch on some nites, thus some times we onli see each other for 2hrs before we hit the sack, dun even haf the time to have a good chat..on some good days, we manage to squeeze in some time to haf a little chat to update each other of wat is happening to us at work or sch...

We try however, to leave fri out of any activities so that we can go 4 a movie or a good dinner juz to spend some quality time together..

Sat is always hse work day for me while he is coaching TT..Sun, will be spend slping late,den goin bak to parents in law hse n rush to his TT coachin again which ends at 7pm...after coachin, we will go 4 his dinner den it will be 9pm b4 we reach hm n after showering all tt...its time to slp...so judgin from our tight schedules 4 the wk, we don't realli have much time to interacrt although we r stayin together..


Sometimes, if we were nt too tired, we will lie on the bed,side by side to haf a quick conversation on our day, or during our travel journey bak home, we will update each other on the day's happening...its nt like during our dating yrs, where wkends are spend solely on our catchin up on the wk events...


So, we planned to take a day off our work n other committments and make a trip to Universal Studios Singapore to unwind ourselves..although it is not goin on a overseas trip, but still its a day tt we 4get about everything and enjoy all the rides in the park..


It feels juz like the times when we are overseas, going on every ride in the theme park, luffing and enjoyin each other's company without thinking of anything from work or home..i can sense hubs' happiness and the smiles we had in the photos reminds me of the many happie times we have during our overseas trips..


Its good to take a day off once in a while to spend some quality time together and go on a field trip where we are alone in our own world, here it is where we bond and find back the loving times we had all these yrs..cheers to more of such times...
