Disappointed

Fireworks

I am disappointed with my new digicam. The pictures still came out blurry, despite me trying my best to keep my hands steady while shooting. Somemore the camera supposed to have anti-blur features leh. ZZzzZZzz, cheat my $$ only *sobs sobs*

Do you love me?

Finally they call it quits. Their separation did not come as a surprise. When he showed us the absurd messages she had sent to him, I didn't know what to say.

Is she really that calculative, pampered, picky and unreasonable that he said her to be?

My guy friend said he's keeping those messages in his mobile. To remind himself that he will never go back to her again.

So, what makes a good companion? 

In the eyes of his friends, I seems to be the perfect wife.

To them, I am easy-going, understanding and patient.

I hardly kick up a big fuss on anything, even if he make me wait for an hour.

I stick together with him despite his financial handicaps and such.

I endure all kinds of nonsense from a certain someone in his household and never grumble.

I keep our bedroom clean and pick up whatever he throw on the floor without complaining.

I never challenge his views in front of others, which will make him feel small, insignificant or disrespected.

I never fight or pick up a quarrel with him in front of his friends.

I never share our family matters and secrets with anyone. Not even my mum.

I rent/buy DVDs so that he can watch during his free time (and no one to disturb me when I go online).

I accept him for whatever he is. Even if he farts in front of my face, or drips saliva on my pillow when he sleeps.

Everyone sees us as the perfect, loving couple.

But what his friends didn't know is,

I am guilty of spending too much time in front of the computer and too little time communicating with my husband.

I don't cook for my husband. Instead I command him to cook instant noodles for me to eat.

I find it challenging to submit to my husband (when we fight at home).

I always must win when we argue. I am never the one to say sorry even if I am the one at fault.

I am eccentric and have severe mood swings.

I am a dead fish in bed.

I don't want to bear him children.

I am actually a wife from Hell.

你爱我吗? 我可以这样问你吗?

你爱我吗? 你给我的温柔是寂寞吗?

你爱我吗? 你心里还有遗憾吗?

你是真的爱我吗?

Toilets not enough

Ever since a certain someone engaged herself in a new profession, our humble abode is seeing strangers in and out so often. Hew new profession bring us inconvenience, and the uneasiness of staying with people we hardly know. Are they trustworthy? Will our valuables get stolen?

Nowadays things get misplaced, and clothes get mixed up so frequently. The lack of space and privacy makes me uncomfortable. Even visiting the toilet also need to take queue number!

Just the other day, I had a sudden urge to poo poo. The toilet was occupied. So I waited. And waited. And waited again. 20 minutes had passed.

我终于忍无可忍了.

Ran to the nearby neighbourhood centre to use the public toilet facilities.

Sibeh cham sia! >_<

Fireworks

Every year without fail, my husband will bring me somewhere to watch fireworks during the National Day Parade.

This year, we were watching the amazing displays from his new office on the 20th storey.

Yeah! No more squeezing with people on the roadsides. No more traffic jams. No more sweating and pushing around. We even had a sumptous, korean-style dinner (prepared by his manager) in the office while waiting for the fireworks.

Fireworks

These lousy pictures will be the swan-song from my super-antique,4-megapixel digital camera, Fujifilm finepix F440, which only has ISO400 and no image stablisation or anti-shake features. Had enough of blurry pictures already.

I have replaced it with yet another finepix J10, 8-megapixel digital camera (This is my 4th finepix. Yeah I am a fan of Fujifilm). And it cost me less than SGD$200. Oh my gosh! I didn't know digital cameras are so cheap nowadays.

A marriage proposal

Recently, in the name of fun, a maple guildmate made a public proposal to marry my beginner through our guild BBS.

Mapleproposal

Suddenly I felt like I was being transported back to my teenage days, when I received similar mushy love letters from secret admirers *blush*

想当年.......

Madam Kucinta sings, "I wish that I could turn back the clock..........". Time and tide really waits for no man. Sighsy.

阿佬, where is the hot, steamy love letter that you promised to write me?

I don't love you

While the bunch of guys were away in Genting, all of them could get in touch with their wives, listen to their sweet voices and shared their holidaying joy, except my husband.

He tried calling me, but I didn't pick up the call (because I was busy with my mum shopping in a noisy shopping mall). His mobile phone was already off when I returned the missed call. I did not leave him any messages because overseas sms is expensive and my intention is to leave him alone to enjoy his holiday with his friends.

But due to my nonchalance, he complained that I don't love him.

My darling is away....

For the third time, 阿佬 left me stranded alone at home on a weekend, while he is out there enjoying with his buddies. Roar at him!

Has he reached Genting Highlands safely? This is one burning question I've been asking myself this whole afternoon. And his mobile handphone is switched off. Roar at him again!

Can't help not being anxious.

The first time he rode in without me, he encountered a serious bike accident. His friend lost both his legs.

The second time he drove in without me, our beloved Sui Sui was robbed of her virginity.

Even though I can have the whole bed to myself for 3 days. Even though I can spring clean the bedroom without this obstacle around. Even though I can have all the time to myself and enjoy the freedom. I am still worried about his safety and miss his presence.

天天想你.....

Go where to suntan?

Petrol prices are increasing! *ROAR*

My husband wants me to help him cut costs by not driving to East Coast Beach for my weekly dose of suntanning. *ROAR ROAR*

He suggests me to walk to the nearby neighbourhood swimming pools or Mount Faber Safra Club, but the place is always so crowded on weekends. *ROAR ROAR ROAR*

Maybe another cheaper alternative is this?

Continuing our journey

We wanted to complete the remaining journey on the Southern Ridges over the weekend, but sad to say, we were unable to do so because I spent too much time taking photographs at HortPark, and then my butter legs started to give me cramps after having dinner.

Started off at Alexandra Arch (5pm) again, we explored the beautiful HortPark, a gardening hub at Hyderabad Road. The walk itself was about 1.5km, but I spent more than an hour at the park because the flowers were too pretty to resist. There's a posh restaurant serving Thai cuisine inside the gardening centre but there's hardly any customers (despite the park having tons of visitors that evening).

Hortpark

After finishing our super long stroll at HortPark, we set off to conquer Kent Ridge Park. We got lost halfway and ended up at Reflections @ Bukit Chandu after finishing the Canopy Walk. No choice, got to walk the long winding roads downhill and we were along Pasir Panjang Road where there's no dense rainforest or walkways lined with beautiful plants, only plenty of dust and big lorries whizzing past.

By then, it was already 7.30pm. I was tired and hungry, so the both of us continued to walk from Pasir Panjang Road all the way to Alexandra Village where we had our dinner at Funny Lasagna, Blk 127 Bukit Merah Lane. From there, we walked back to the Alexandra Arch, and then continued our journey at Forest Walk and Telok Blangah Hill Park before heading home at 9pm.

After the night's walk for 4 hours, I must say I am impressed with my husband's endurance and patience!


Here is a simple walk-through guide for those who wanted to conquer the 10km Southern Ridges in 1 day!

Marang Trail (0.8km @ HarbourFront MRT) ---> Faber Trail (1km @ Mount Faber Park) ---> Henderson Waves (0.3km) ---> Hilltop Walk (1km @ Telok Blangah Park) ---> Forest Walk (1.3km @ Telok Blangah Hill) ---> Alexandra Arch (0.08km @ Alexandra Road) ---> Floral Walk & HortPark (1.5km @ Hyberabad Road) ---> Canopy Walk (0.3km) ---> Reflections at Bukit Chandu ---> Kent Ridge Park ---> Clementi Woods ---> West Coast Park.

We will perservere ~~~
