Over The Weekend

TGIF!!! On Friday, I meet up with Juliet, Jerin and Eunice at my place and we decide to make the Portuguese egg tarts. Eh.. it's a tough task..we spent 4 hours to get it done. For the crust itself, took us 2 hours plus. The look of them is like a success..but the crust is a a bit too hard. Think is due to the wrong type of margarine we bought. Haiz..so sad.. but, the eggs fillings are nice..yeah.. and we had a lot of fun during the baking session.

On Saturday, we woke up quite late..11+ and our friends decide to go Maxim for brunch. I ate carrot cake and soya bean drink. Hehe..never thought desert got carrot cake right! haha.. After eating we then went to a "flea market". Nobody had went before and nobody knows what do they have. So, we decide to go over and take a look. Haha..everyone paid 2 bucks and get a chop on our hand and..haha..nothing really nice to buy...except a stall that sells beautiful hand knife..oww.. After sweating enough at the flea market, we then went to Frys to get our camera's accessories..Ohhh..coooling..haha.. And now, off we go to the Paradise Valley to shop around awhile before we went to a Thai restaurant for dinner..oee.. spicy..keke. After dinner, we went to the Cold Stone and bought 3 tubs of ice-cream and we went to Yimin's house for "party" haha.. It's a really fun and tiring day..haha..it had been a long time since we go out with a big group of people..haha.. 5 cars on the road..driving everwhere..haha.. and I ended the day having a fun chatting session with Lina and Sherlyne in Qian's room. Seriously..在家靠父母，在外靠朋友 is really true. Without these nice friends over here, you will get bored and go crazy..haha..
Oh...it is Sunday again.. which means, tomolo hubby got to work again lo.. Maybe Saturday too tire ba..my hubby sleep until 2+ den wake up..haha.. Today, we meet up with the big group again and we went for a movie Haha..nice, funny and shocking show! haha.. After the show, we went to Macaroni and Grill for dinner. 16 people sitting on a long table. This is a very unique restaurant. There's crayons on the table and they wrap the tables with white papers and all the guest can draw whatever they like on the table. And..haha..this is the pic my hubby draw for me. Everyone started drawing..like went back to kids time when we like to draw everywhere. Next, they serve us with Focaccia bread!! OMG..miss it so much..long time never eat..Next is our main course..Yummy.. nice taste..and lastly, they order tiramisu.. its the 2nd time i try.. oh.. it's nice..not like my 1st time..yucks.. haha.

Now, I'm looking forward to Friday. We are going to VEGAS!! Woho!! There will be a big group of us going..3 cars..about 13 of us ba..hehe.. Finally.. the first holiday trip since I reached the Desert......

21 June 08 --> Our 2nd Wedding Anniversary

According to the desert calendar, today marks the start of SUMMER!! And also, today is our 2nd Wedding Anniversary.. 2 years ago, we are at the ROM, saying our vows, putting on our rings and 2 years later, we are at the desert with only each other to depend on and of cos, loving one another.

We start off our day with a simple breakfast..with eggs, cheese sausages, bacon and of cos cheese prata! Yummy!! Nice breakfast.. too full to go for lunch. wahaha.. After the breakfast, we den went to Dragon Garden to meet our friends living in the desert too..haha.. after meeting up, we went to see cars..intend to change our Dodge to BMW.. hmm... but after discussion with the guy there, seems like not worth to do so. Haiz..think we better stick to our big Dodge ba..haha..so fat till I can't view the sides..

After viewing of cars, we then went to downtown Tempe..haha..It a warm noon..but we went for a "stroll" on the Tempe street.. wahaha..Then, we went to The Hooters for our dinner. Hmm, it's not a bad idea with so many friends eating together during our anniversary. There's Jason, Joe, Kelvin and Xiao Hei..haha..we had a very fun and interesting dinner. Wow.. we got 50 chicken wings with different flavour, onion rings, curly fries and chicken nanchos.. oh ya..not to forget..plenty of sweet ice tea.

And last of all, we end our night at Dennys' with our favourite desert.
Hot Fudge Brownie and Turtle Cheesecake!
Sooo sweet!! haha..

Well..that ends our day for the 2nd year of our marriage.. there's more years and celebration to come.. Cheers!!

Snack of the Day!!

Oh..I'm missing singapore foods..especially the snacks my grandmother used to make for me..Ah Ma..I miss you..keke
So, I got the ingredients to make fried spring rolls..there's turnips, carrot and of cos, spring rolls skin..haha.. But, think the portion is abit too much. So, I got Eunice and Juliet to come over and do it together and each of them took some home to fry when their hubby's back from work.
Hmm...its so yummy and crispy..though not as nice as my grandmother's but..no choice la..better than nothing..haha

Hubby's Back

It had been a week since my hubby came back. Think he's enjoying himself well in the Cold Lake! Enjoying the big ice-cream all by himself..HUMP! So angry when I saw this photo... haha..tat's my hubby la..everytime go eat big ice-cream when I'm not around..Just to make me jealous.

Well..since hubby's back, I'm back to my drama marathon. When he's not around, I'll meet up with Eunice and Juliet everyday for some activities, but when he's back, I had been staying at home to watch my dramas..haha.. Well, partly is because their hubby and my hubby are working on different shift..so kinda hard to meet. Well.. which is better? With hubby or without hubby? haha.. Pro and cons la.. But think I will prefer hubby to be around. I feel more secure with him around..feel so lost and indecisive without hubby around.

Tomolo is saturday.. finally..Hubby, are we going for shopping and eat Dian Xin??
