Like all weekends, this weekend seemed to pass all too quickly.
Bcos daddy was around the area on Friday, the picked me up from work and then we went to pick mummy and the boy from home and went to Xin Wang for dinner. The cheese baked pork chop with spaghetti is really nice! I oso had my usual 奶茶 + Chin Chow. But the China waitress couldn’t understand what chin chow was (WTF. I know they are cheap labour but at least know some damn basic English lah. It’s a HK café not a china café). And bcos I have no idea what chin chow is in chinese, I did a direct translate and said 青草 and she gave me a hellavu blur look. Apparently its 仙草 –rolls eyes- Whatever. This is Singapore for goodness sake.
Anyway, I can’t remember what I did after dinner but tubs decided to go to the supermarket and buy food to whip up a meal. It is times like this when I’m so glad there’s a 24 hour Cold Storage nearby. After our grocery shopping, met Jane for awhile to talk cock before heading home.
While chatting with Jane, tubs saw someone drive past. And little did we know that that person was not supposed to be seen cos he was seen at the wrong time, with the wrong company. Haha. Anyhoos, either guilt got the better of him or it has been that long since he had some alone time, but that call was nice. Short, but it’s our kinda conversation, which I have to say I miss. Even though we have nothing to hide, cos that little thing we had was eons ago, it’s so much more than that. It’s just a whole new level of conversation that we have that’s hard to come by. And when there are other people around, it’s just so different that we can completely disregard each other. I swear we have the weirdest relationship ever. I think it’s bcos we used to spend too much time alone together in the past and suddenly we just both disappeared. So when we both make appearances with other people around, we are inept in carrying our usual style of conversation. An obligatory ‘how have you been’ is just too weird for us.
Before people start to jump to conclusions, let me just say that he is someone I love as a fren but oso someone I couldn’t bring to love as a BF. I know sometimes the way we talk borders on that very fine line of flirting but it’s as harmless as anything can get. We are both in very happy relationships for the past couple of years and there’s no way the line will be crossed for each other. There. Happy now?
Once home, my chef whipped up a meal of cod, salmon and mushroom & potato soup. But the time the cooking was done and the food finished, it was almost breakfast time lor. And we were so stuffed, it was horrible.
It’s been a long time since I last slept in on a Saturday. It’s so shiok lor. When we finally woke up, we went to KFC for a late lunch and I still dun understand why tubs bought the meal enuff to feed 4 people. After I had 2 pieces of chicken and he 4, we wanted to die oready so we tapaoed it, together with the remaining fries, nuggets and popcorn chicken for the boy, whom we picked up from siglap.
Went shopping in Orchard after that and tubs and I bought a pair of shoes each. Thank goodness our tastes are pretty agreeable cos we picked shoes for each other. I love my Aldo heels even though it’s taller than any other pair of heels that I own (and everybody knows how tall my heels are). It’s so ironic that even though ¾ of Aldo was on sale, my pair weren’t but I’m oways for spending for a pair of nice shoes.
After all the shops had closed, we headed back to tub’s and fell asleep til 3+am. Took both cars, went back to my place to drop off my car, then we went ECP for macs breakfast. While eating in the car, tubs spilled his Milo, then I spilled my Milo. Fanfuckingtastic.
Went home, slept for afew more hours, got up and followed him back to office –seh- Was so bored and tired there that I took a short nap then by evening, we went Parkway to buy 年货. And I bought a top from Mango. This time tubs didn’t stop me cos he said CNY buy new clothes nvm. Haha. The thing is, I took another top to pair it together with what I bought and he said I didn’t need it. So I only bought 1 top. But after thinking about it, I still feel that both the tops goes very well with each other so like he says ‘even if you don’t buy now, you sure buy during the weekdays when I’m not with you’. Haha. Sometimes he does seem to know me quite well. But I shall not waste money. I shall not spend $60 on such a plain tank top. So I shall go home today and raid my cupboard for something similar. If I can’t find anything, then it’s really not my fault oready.
Went to Granny’s for dinner after that and followed tubs to see him polish his car at nite. I still think he’s mad for wanting to polish his car at such a late hour when there’s work the next day.
Oh. And earlier in the week, Jes met with an accident. I hope my dear girl is feeling better now! She didn’t even wanna tell me until Rachel told me about it. I bet she has a phobia of taking cabs now. It didn’t help that after the accident, the cab driver wasn’t even concerned about whether she was fine or not! My dear girl had to take afew days off from work. I dunno what exactly happened but I can sorta imagine the impact just based on the pictures she sent me. The cab was facing the wrong side of the road and the road barrier was uprooted. If you didn’t think a slab of concrete can be uprooted, think again. *sigh* I hate to stereotype but cab drivers can be a real hazardous and irresponsible bunch of people.
Ok people, I gotta rush some work now.
