Lost In Transit......

Don't know why I can't sleep.. Must be the after-effect of the sumptuous dinner prepared by my lovely sis! Lol.

This is my 1st time blogging from the phone & I think I still prefer blogging from the laptop :p

Very random but I'm so glad the weekend is here! Will be meeting up with Wen to look for her wedding heels after work :) I love such outings with the girls.. Men just don't know how to appreciate the joy of shopping.

Ok, time for bed. Hope that the work day will pass quickly!

I am on a weight gain project... against my own will. Ever since after the wedding, I seemed to be letting myself go out of control in terms of food intake. Ugh. No matter how much I remind myself to control, control and control, it doesn't seems to work. It doesn't help when my husband LOVES to eat too. Even my colleague commented that I've put on some weight *depressed*. I guess it is time to bring out the jogging shoes already.

Since we are on the topic of food, we went to Tampopo to celebrate our 5.5years cum 1 month wedding anniversary on Monday!

 
My salmon don. One of the nicest salmon don I've tried. Comes with a thick piece of tamago and pickles too. I like.


Hubby's beef curry rice in stone pot. Concept is like the korean bibimbap, the food remains piping hot throughout your meal. 


The famous kurobuta tonkatsu. The external part was crispy while meat was very tender and not oily. The yellow mustard-lookalike thingy at the corner is actually wasabi.

Dessert time!

One of their bestselling cakes but I don't like it coz it has cheese.


My mochi which tasted more like jelly. Kinda disappointed with the presentation.

Total bill was $70+. We'll definitely visit Tampopo again to try the other dishes, esp the black pig ramen!

We didn't know what to do today (married life is boringggggg), so after walking around Bugis/Suntec/Marina area, we headed down to the revamped Downtown East. Wanted to go Kbox but I was unwilling to fork out $48 for 4 hours of singing. So after doing some grocery shopping at NTUC, we went for dinner at Fresh Bulgoggi, which is something like Seoul Garden except that it is not buffet style but ala carte.

Our Premium Set C (Chicken Breast Meat, Beef Bulggogi, Chicken Bulggogi and Sliced Beef) for 2. Not knowing that the set comes  with a variety of vegetable which included the golden mushroom, we ordered another serving of it  -_-.
  

The computerised self-order system. This system is way better than Sakae's. After clicking on the 'Call for Bill' function, they actually showed you the total bill which I found was pretty helpful.

Hubby will be on duty tomorrow so I will be going home in the morning. Mum suggested going for high-tea, how to 减肥 like that???

After a year of preparation, the wedding was over in just a day and now we are back from our honeymoon! 7 days and 6 nights seemed too short! Still have not received any photos from my friends and photographer yet. Thanks to the bunch of great 姐妹s and 兄弟s, we enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Hubby even conspired with the 姐妹s and 兄弟s to give me a surprise during the banquet. They made Hubby sing 小薇 (with the lyrics modified by my 姐妹s) right in front of everybody while the 兄弟s danced behind. I was extremely touched coz Hubby is usually too shy to sing and it was the first time I hear him sing. My best friend Wendy also gave a speech and I nearly teared.

I'm still trying hard to get used to staying with Hubby and his family but I miss my own family a lot... Kept crying on my first night staying with Hubby. Can't wait to move back when Hubby goes to TW! Luckily I have an understanding Hubby who said I can go back home and stay every weekend =) and yesterday we really went back to my mum's place to sleep. 

Will update with photos in the next entry! It's Monday again *groan*

The long weekend was a very hectic one.

Saturday, 31 May
Met Hubby for breakfast at TM after his duty. We went to Swensons again (sinful!!!) but no pics this time coz we were too hungry. After breakfast we sent our wedding bands to Lee Hwa for them to repolish and replate coz Hubby's band was badly scratched. After that we went back to Hubby's house to pack his room. Was supposed to go to the Robinson sale at Expo to get some stuff but coz I wasn't feeling too well in the afternoon so we shelved the plan. In the evening, I went to meet my Jiemeis for dinner at TM's Fish n Co. We had a fun time discussing the ways to 'torture' the guys! Haha.. After dinner, we adjourned to this mini-pub at Century Sq. for drinks. As usual, I refused to order any alcoholic drinks (coz alcohol contains lotsa calories!!!) and they were exasperated.

Went to Parkway Parade with Hubby to buy some necessities. As there was a sale going on at Isetan, we managed to get 2 bras, 5 underwear for me, 5 for Hubby at $130 only! Cheap cheap eh! We also went to get some clothes hangers at Giant. After that, Father came to pick us up and off we went to AMK Hub coz Mum wanted to bring my jewellery to Tianpo for them to replate. At AMK Hub,Father got this for me!

Sony Ericsson K850i.

Think Father is sick of me always complaining how lousy my Samsung U700 was. Come to think of it, this is the first time in 5 (6?) years that I'm using a phone from a brand other than Samsung. Samsung's U700 was such a disappointment. After reaching home, Mum, Dad and I busied ourselves with the Guo Da Li's stuff, tying red ribbons, preparing the pillows, bolster, quilt.

The day is here! Day for Guo Da Li and An Chuang. Shall let the pics do the talking here.

Mum and my Aunt discussing how much to give back.


Returning part of the 聘金, $ for 猪脚罐 and another 2 ang pows for Hubby.

Return of gifts. 2 bottles of orange squash in return for 2 bottles of hard liquor.

That marks the end of the Guo Da Li. Will post pics of the An Chuang process tomorrow. It is nearing 12am already and wayyy past my bedtime! Anyway, got these 2 today!

Thanks Mum and Sis! *Muacks*

I am extremely pissed with Co'zy Bed Gallery.

They were supposed to deliver our wardrobe and bed yesterday. When I called them on Thurs to confirm that the furniture will be coming on Saturday, they told me yes, they will arrive between 2pm to 4pm. But by 4.30pm only the bed came n and the wardrobe still had not arrive. When I called them they had the cheek to tell me that due to some "miscommunication" between the store and factory, they have not fabricate my wardrobe!! WTH! The sales person who served us previously even had the cheek to raise his voice at me and talk to me using an impatient tone. I'm extremely pissed with them. We will never ever patronise them again. Lousy company!

The equally lousy bed.


This weekend has been a tiring one. This is the first time I had to assemble my own furniture. The bedside table, TV rack and computer rack are all ready, now we are just waiting for the wardrobe to arrive. It had better come punctually this Saturday coz our GDL and An Chuang is on the following Monday. 

On a happier note, my dearest Sister has finally graduated! Mum and I went to attend her graduation ceremony last Thursday and we are very proud of her =)


(Yea.. I'm shorter than my sis tho I'm 5 years older)


(Pic is very blur coz we were seating quite far back)

Another 25 days to go.. I hope things will go well.
