But I’m feeling a little under the weather. Bah. Hum bug.
Nonetheless, its the weekends!
Kicked it off yesterday with my parents, brother and JY at MOF for my parents’ 34th wedding anniversary. Looking at them, it really seems easy to make a marriage last so long but I know it comes with its fair share of hard work, patience and God’s love shared between them to make it work, and make it worthwhile. Even after 34 years of being together, they still crack jokes about each other (especially my dad, who sometimes makes the lamest comments which everyone else except my mum understands. go figure.) and have lots of fun moments together. Here’s wishing dad and mum many more happy years together!
Company was fun and the food was good. Portion-wise and taste-wise the food was above average and after discount (I’m an MOF member!) the bill came up to $137 for 5 people who each had a main course and dessert + 1 serving of salmon sashimi + 1 serving of soft shell crab. Value for money no? And there was a $10 voucher as well!
So its Saturday today but I’m be stuck at home with a runny nose and because JY is off for the whole afternoon at some church meeting. Boo. But we’ll all be going to the airport tonight to see my mum off – she’s going to Israel with 33 other church members! Sigh. So fun. I really wanted to go too but I just started work and have no leave to take, unless of course I take no paid leave which I really don’t think I can afford (no pun intended) to do. Oh well. Hopefully I’ll be well enough, or at least whine enough, to be allowed to eat Popeyes later. Heeheehee. I hope they finally have the biscuits!
Work-wise, I’m still trudging through. Well, it’s ok I guess. *shrugs*. I feel bad that I’m only doing it because the economy is a mess right now. But I guess journalism will still be my first love. Guess one should never start by working with a magazine as one’s first job and be spoilt by the fast-pace, crazy-deadline-driven but filled with fun and perks job scope of being a writer with a lifestyle magazine! Doing the food section was just the final sweet-chocolate-dipped cherry on the top.
The week definitely did have its little highlights though. Tuesday night I met JY for dinner and managed to score a pair of pants and a shirt on sale at Esprit. Especially exciting about that was the pants which I had already eyed previously before the sale, but they didn’t have my size. But now, it was on sale and in my size! Haha. Cheap thrill I know, but every dollar counts!
Another highlight would be buying JY his really early Christmas present – UM1 earphones + govibe martini headphone amp. Its just a really expensive and high-class pair of earphones for the budding audiophile in JY. Haha. But the good news is, I got myself a free pair of PINK bijou in-earphones! It was a gift from the shop owner, “Uncle WIlson” who says my good deed should be rewarded. Haha. But hey, it came at the right time because my ipod earphones are peeling and God knows I wouldn’t spend a single cent getting a replacement pair, much less on a pair of $70 in-earphones!
