Camera eye

Sometimes I wish that my eye is an automatic camera so that I can capture all the precious moments when I see them.

Travelling

Travelling used to be my hobby. I still love travelling a lot. But I have given up that hobby.

I like to see what is it like in the other parts of the world. I once had a dream of visiting the 7 wonders of the world.

However, I married a guy who don't like travelling.

The idea of a short trip was rejected several times.

He feels that travelling will cost quite a sum which can be saved for other greater purpose.

My colleagues just came back from Japan. They spent about 3.5k for a 10 days trip.

When they told me that, I was calculating how much can I save from 3.5k. I guess this thought is originated from the pressure to save money for the family.

It was a waste that I have to give up my dream. Well... I must say that it was worthwhile giving up.

Haha... To compensate for that, my honeymoon destination must be somewhere expensive, romantic and unforgettable! =p

National Day Parade

Edwin and I watched National Day Parade today.

A very weird feeling watching tv with him actually.

We seldom watch tv when I am at his house as his landlord don't like him to bring friends home. Therefore, usually I will hide inside his room and watch movies with him from his desktop.

Watching tv with him gives me a very relax feeling. It was a different feeling from watching movies from his desktop.

Ha.. Weird but true...

Busy Busy Busy

I have been driving from West to East and back to West last few Sundays.

The first sunday that I started driving was to fetch Edwin from the airport. He is back! =).. Misses him even though it is only for a few days.

The next Sunday was to the electrical fair in Singapore Expo. Not really a wasted trip. We bought a Sony Bravia TV (Serial No. 40BX400) for $999 and get a free dunno what brand HD camcorder. We bought a Hitachi fridge at $799 over there too. A pretty big fridge for us actually. Should have brought the smaller size. Nevermind. What is purchased is purchased. Let's look forward to having it delivered to our house! =)

We drove to Tampines for baminton the week after that. After that, we went to liang court to change our Sony Bravia TV cos I felt that the specs was not very good for the current technology. People are already watching LED tv whereas the motion flow for our TV is only 50Hz, which is pretty slow for the TV on sale now. Therefore, we changed to a Philips TV the motion flow is 100 Hz. At the same time, the colour contrast is much higher too! 80,000:1 compared to Sony's 30,000:1. We topped up additional $300 and have to return the camcorder. Nvm la. I bet it will be difficult to sell the camcorder in ebay. =p..

Finally, we drove to Tampines again on the Sunday that just passed. It was for badminton again. After that, we went back to our house (sounds weird calling the place ur house.. =)), trying to tidy up the place.

In the end, my lazy husband decided to ask the contractor to clean up the house instead. That was despite all the cleaning equipment we have purchased. =(.

All in all, these few weekends were spent on buying stuff for our house.. Don't really have time to spend at home. But it was worth it.. =)

New hobby

Watching cooking channel is my new hobby these few days.

Marriage has definitely placed a part in my latest hobby.

I like the thought that he looks forward to my cooking.

I personally prefer eating to cooking. I dread the preparation process. I don't mind chopping garlics but I don't like cutting fish or touching meat.

I am not very good in cooking actually. He is a much better cook than I am.

He is better in using all the different ingredients than I am. For me, all seems to be the same.

I guess in order for him to look forward to eating food that I cook, I need to brace myself for the challenge ahead.
