Time with friends

Had high tea at The Rose Verandah at Shangri-La hotel last week. It was fabulous. Of course the company was lovely too! I brought Charlotte with me and we had a wonderful time.

Here are some pics.

Charlotte was unimpressed with the place and preferred napping. Lol !

There are zombies in the house!!

Lately, The Hubby has gotten back into the habit of talking to me. In the mornings. When I'm still asleep. What the hell, right? He can have whole conversations with me and I know I answer him rather coherently at the time. And I make sense at the time. But that's just it. It's AT THE TIME. When I actually wake up some few hours later, I have NO idea at all what was said.or what on earth I agreed to. Blardy hell. So I have to text him to find out.

Eh, I don't understand. Is it anything important? Anything short of "Honey, there are zombies/vampires/werewolves in the house .. Get up now!!!" or "we won $5 million bucks!! Let's buy 2 Ferraris NOW!" Ah, THEN u can talk to me while I'm asleep .. I'll happily be jolted awake. Other than that, please leave me alone. I want to sleep. Not hear u tell me not to forget to call the air con company for an appt (which he already told me the night before) .. And before u think, ah, Sam must be irresponsible and that's why her husband has to do that. Nooooooo, the man is just like that. And that's why I don't screech at him in the mornings when he yabbers to me or tries to give me instructions. I apparently nod and agree and even muster up an "ok" just so he'll move on and leave me alone to sleep.

I've told him nicely already not to do that. He'll stop awhile then it goes back to square one. *sigh*

It's primarily because he is generally a morning person while I'm a night owl. Over the many years of marriage, we have adapted to each other. I don't bug the man to stay up beyond 9pm. And in turn .. He doesn't wake me up at the freaking crack of dawn on the weekends (except on Sundays when we have to go to church).

I think I need to wear earplugs. Lol.

Should I lose weight? Nah ...

Lauren had her very first Sports Day in school last week. And she requested that I be there to my horror. Well, u know me, it's not that I don't love and support my child, but can I not do that under the sun perspiring? The day they hold the Sports Day in an air conditioned hall with nice plush seats .. Ah, that WILL be the day I will be right there being all loving and supportive of my child running or whatever it is they're supposed to do. Yes, I am the model parent .. I know.

So as the day came closer, I had asked Lauren on a few separate occasions whether I really needed to attend the event. And she kept insisting that I be there. DARN.

I read the stupid invite they had sent back with the kids and was slightly mollified to read that it would be held in the school hall. Ok, so it's NOT air conditioned, but at least I won't have to slather on sun block had it been on the field somewhere.

It was a Sports Day for the lower primary students so only a few classes were involved - the first 3 levels. And they all did variations of the same thing. Some hop and skip run thing. They were in teams.

I was there with Charlotte (in her sling) as well Emily and Calista. I knew they'd want to see Lauren participating.

Of course the event was as expected, not very exciting. I had parked my Odyssey illegally in front of the school, so when Lauren's race ended, we rushed off.

Lauren came home much later and her team had apparently won first place overall. Lol. Oh well - I was there for the race, ok?! It was the prize giving that I had missed. Haha!

Anyway, Lauren came to tell me that 2 of her classmates had told her that her mummy was fat and she had complained about it to her teacher. I laughed and asked her WHY she did that. I told her that it's ok - I know I'm erm, not skinny. Lol!

I told the Hubby and he said I should lose weight cos I'm shaming the kids.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Bugger man.

Can u believe it?

It's October already! In just 2.5 months or so, it'll be Christmas then a brand new year !! This year just flew by for me.

I had Charlotte in January and now she's already 8.5 months old! All I have to do is scroll through my gazillion iphone photos to see my girls growing up.

And I can't believe it's already been 4 months since I've spoken to her. From being the best of friends, we are now total strangers.

And I love Christmas. And I love the holidays. Can't wait to spend more time w the girls, my beloved hubby and my good friends.

The only question now on my mind is whether I should get the new iPhone 4S at the end of October.

Lovely song to share :p

This is the latest single from Bruno Mars "It will rain" and it's the first track from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.

It is a WONDERFUL song .. have a listen to it. I have it playing on repeat on my iPhone in the car :p
Here are the lyrics.

Bruno Mars - It Will Rain

If you ever leave me, baby,
Leave some morphine at my door
Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
To realize what we used to have,
We don't have it anymore.

There's no religion that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor, oh
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm making
Will keep you by my side
Will keep you from walking out the door.

Cause there'll be no sunlight
if I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
if I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds,
my eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday, it will rain,
rain, rain

I'll never be your mother's favorite
Your daddy can't even look me in the eye
Oooh if I was in their shoes, I'd be doing the same thing
Saying there goes my little girl
walking with that troublesome guy
But they're just afraid of something they can't understand
Oooh well little darling watch me change their minds
Yea for you I'll try, I'll try, I'll try
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make you mine

Cause there'll be no sunlight
if I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
if I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds,
my eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday, it will rain,
rain, rain

Ooooh Don't you say
goodbye, don't just say, goodbye
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make it right

Cause there'll be no sunlight
if I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
if I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds,
my eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday, it will rain,
rain, rain...

Insomnia Part 2

Man, sometimes I think my body is operating in a different timezone. Here I am at freaking 4.16am in the morning awake. Luckily, there was a decent movie to watch on cable tv. Well, that movie has just ended and I'm still not sleepy. It has started to rain outside. I should go and make sure the windows at the utility room are closed .. But nah, I ain't going outta my room at this time. Thank goodness my bathroom is en suite. If not, I'd seriously consider having a chamber pot in my room. Hahaha!

Which is why I find it very hard to sleep when my hubby is away. Man, those nights are hard on me. Yes, I have the girls with me .. But I'm so used to having him next to me .. It makes it very hard to sleep without him.

Anyway, I managed to catch the trailer for Season 2 of "The Walking Dead" premiering on cable tv at the end of the month. And u know me and zombie movies/shows. It's like a moth drawn to a flame, man.

No one can understand my morbid fascination with the whole thing. Hey, neither can I. I'm scared shitless but I still watch. Man, you'll never know how long it took me to get over "I am Legend" - now those zombies were lethal man. Fast and strong. Not at all like most other zombie flicks where they sort of shuffle along and most anyone can outrun them.

Ok ok I shall stop my zombie chatter .. Lol. Season 2 of The Vampire Diaries started on tv last night. Man, there are way too many good looking people in that show. And I think Ian Somerhalder is CUTE btw.

Ok, I SHOULD try to sleep. Ttyl :p

hehe .. this was the 80s .. lol

Katy Perry's latest single, Last Friday Night, is a really catchy and radio friendly song. And the video is quite cute to watch too. See who you can spot in it .. Kenny G doesn't count .. who on this planet doesn't know he is a saxophone player? LOL :p
