LAst weekend, I caught Ratatouile with another couple whom we havent seen in a long while. The prelude to the movie was funny enough to get me laughing so much i peed a little on my pants -.-! and the rest of the movie just lived up to the expectations. Funny, imaginative, and encouraging.

It gives you the idea that when the mind has set itself in its will to do something, anybody can achieve it.

A feel good movie and no doubt about it, the hubby has been yakking about the movie each time we go on our gastronomical hunt to feed my weekly craving - no doubt it makes me laugh. The hubby is so cute sometimes! hehe

My craving for Japanese food is growing bigger, so much that the bill have also been escalating. heh. from a mere $40 + to the current size of at least 67$.

Want to see some of the stuff we ate today?

here goes... feast for the eyes...





As usual we only remembered to pop pictures when we are in the midst of the meal.. so not all the stuff have been photographed.

And if it is a wonder that we are putting on weight and fast.. just to let you in on a little secret... we are going for a BBQ later this evening haha!

I'm missing the times spent mugging beer with friends.
I'm also missing time spent people watching at nydc, spins, balcony wine bar ...


Problem is...
As you grow older, you wonder what the heck do you drink for...
Sometimes I look at the youngsters, dead drunk, retching and I wonder.. why are they paying money to torture themselves silly, and then retching the poison they dump into their bodies and some even get alcholic poisoning.

as you get older, and more rational and logical, you wonder what good the boozing do you.

Same goes for coffeee.

While I do miss the occassional booze the divine wine and the angmo liang teh, I think what i really do miss it the precious time spent catching up with old friends.

We have been too busy to really catch up with one and other... its high time we did.
Hopefully this weekend will materialised.

=)

I detest climbing up the stairs and I think the IMM building is just too far away from home.

We( the hubby and I )are so used to taking the car out to IMM, that the one time I actually walk from my apartment to the building left me unwilling to venture out again.

This morning despite having awoken with severe backache and whatnot, the good 3 hour nap after breakfast in bed soothed all the pains away. So when the hubby went for his course this afternoon after having luncheon with me at the IMM building, I wanted to flag a cab home - even though the fare will be the same when I flag it down.

The Q at the taxi stand killed my desire to stand in the uber long human Q waiting for the taxi in the hot sweltering afternoon sun. The venture to the bus stop also told me that I will need to shove and push with all the aunties and uncles with their bags of groceries so I did what the romans did best - WALK!

Its the 2nd time i actually walk home from the building but this time, somehow, with the numerous cutting through of HDB flats I seem to reach home even faster than having to wait for the stupid bus to the interchange.

That led me to high spirits.
Im actually amazed I can be so easily contented and satisfied. heh!

its been 2 days since i went for my craft lessons.

Right now im itching to do some craftwork, But i woke up this morning with severe backache.

First it was the insomnia. Now its the backache. I havent been sleeping well as you can see, but the craft workshop is really exciting.

I get to use the hammer, the glue tape( that looks exactly like a correction tape except that it dispenses glue), stamps and chalk in a variety of colors. Now to mention the fixing of embellishments that can really be very thereputic.

It is so thereputic, im fast getting addicted!

Here's a little snapshot of my pieces of art.





I spent a total of 4 hours doing the cards and it works out to about 11.50$ per hour, given that it costs me $45 for it. All materials are provided for, so you have the instructor giving you instructions and you go hammering and pasting and doodling away.

so fun.

I want to go for part ii but school's reopening... damnit!

Poor dog must be so neglected.
have you pet your dog today?

Heard of the chinese saying "贱骨头"?

I think I fall into this category. While I think I am overworked at most times, when it is finally the holidays, the luxury of not having to do work make me crave work. -.-

However, when i really sit down and contemplate work, my mind immediately tells me there's a hundred and one things that i can do without doing work.

damnit.. such difficult decisions to be made.

So i told myself...
I had better get my ass off procrastination and do work... so that tomorrow i may enjoy a leisurely day of learning craft.

I signed up for 2 craft workshops tomorrow.
will showcase my works of art if they are not too disgustingly ugly..

I intended to learn the tools of the trade to make pretty frames to decorate my house... since its plain looking. but the course is proving to be an expensive hobby. I needed to spend like 699.00 sgd to buy some equipment and its only part of the necessary equipment required. haha!

I know i shouldn't be spending unnecessarily but money earned is meant to be money spent, after you have deducted off your savings and money required for your daily use. What's more, I needed some kind of activity to keep me occupied.

I think im really not one of those housewifey types. I can't stay put within 4 walls. I really hate the holidays - nothing to do but being confined to the indoors, doing the laundry, wiping furniture, scrubbing the toilets... this is so not my kind of life.

I would rather make my dog pose with me in the great outdoors, check out the wild life like what karen cheng did with her family during their recent camping trip. Mop around the malls checking out the latest fashion and accessories, Zip around the world on budget airlines or whatever.... just to get me out of the 4 confines of the house!

I'm getting grumpy.

im so needing to get a life......... advice anybody ? *mutters*
