A Tiring Saturday

Now, it's 3:40 pm (while typing this) and we are very exhausted. actually we just reached home from plant nursery. 

We supposed to wake up around 5 am, i even set the alarm at 5 but i don't know how many times i let it snoozed. Hahaha. we finally woke up around 6 am. the reason for this is we went to wet market. like what i said last night, it's my first time at Singapore's wet market. It's totally different from what kind of wet market i grew up. Our wet market's floor is literally wet, smelly and noisy. the market here is clean, uses white light (hahaha, we use yellow light, that looks the market so messy?). anyway, not much of variety and very small maybe because the place that we went is one of the little market here. one thing i like about market is they sell cheaper price than the groceries and of course, Seafoods looks more fresh!

After we bought the prawns that we need, we had our breakfast at the coffee shop just beside of the market. After that we went back home and clean the prawns then we had a nap again. we need to take a rest because we need to go at the plant nursery. It's so damn hot. i felt like i am being grilled or Barbecued. We walked and walked and walked to see what we like.

Damn its really hot and my mind can't concentrate of what to type.

Friday Night

Two more days to go for our housewarming!

Dwi invited some of his relatives and i only invited two of my uni buddies, Sarah and Clang.

Hopefully Clang can make it since she told me she have work on the afternoon while Sarah is totally free!

we can only invite few people as our house is not spacious enough. 

Oh well, i made a mango float (a refrigerated cake) requested by my hubby, he actually wanted me to do the  "same" thing that my Nanay (mommy) did which he really likes and hopefully with my own rendition, capabilities and of course with my own hand i really really wish that i give justice with my nanay's recipe. Hahaha

I went to Lucky Plaza, a popular place for Filipino people here in Singapore, just to buy the Graham, the biscuit. yesterday, i just realize that i shouldn't buy the other ingredients at NTUC since i am going to the plaza to buy the biscuit, wish that i bought the other ingredients there as well.

Anyway, i haven't tried the mango float as Hubby doesn't want me to cut even just a small piece on it. i just wanted to taste it so at least i will know if it's nice or taste like shit. >.< but what now? i can't do anything so i really really wish that it's nice. (crossfinger)

Anyway, Hubby also want me to cook some veggie stuff, so i suggested that i will cook a Filipino style chop suey, so he bought all the ingredients for me. my hubby loves to do the grocery things, he also accompanied me to go grocery i think because he doesn't want me to spend so much Hahaha.

Okay, i'm gonna knock off now, since we need to wake up 5 in the morning tomorrow to buy a fresh prawns at wet market...oooohhh...Wet Market, i didn't know there is a wet market here i am so excited about it and i should shut my mouth now.

Preparation for Housewarming party

In my country, i dun think that Housewarming is a norm. maybe yes, for some richi-rich people and no, for someone like me who grew up in a simple Family. 

When my hubby told me we're having a Housewarming for our small house (which he never ask me again how i feel about this thing) i just said okay, since he already decided about it. what i just hate is it's too rush. 

okay, to make everything clear, he already told me before around April that we're having one, but since then i never heard anything about it, and then somewhere in May, he just get the small calendar and marks that on this day (Can't remember actually the date) that we're having a house warming, but after that i never heard anything about it. so i got so surprised that now, June we are finally having our Housewarming. 

After that Final Decision he made, as usual i never heard anything about the preparation. until yesterday, which is 3 days from now is our so-called-housewarming-party. I'm not against it, because if this is something like part of their social practices then i will go for it, because i respect their tradition. i just don't like he never ask how i think about it. 

I told him last night before we sleep all my concerns, i told him i tried my best to help or assist him but i expect him to be the leader since i haven't experienced this, but what's happening now is, after he decided on the date, he just leave everything to me which i really really hate. i felt all the pressure is with me. i felt that as a wife i must do a good one, since i don't expect that our visitors will understand that THIS IS NOT A NORM IN OUR COUNTRY. (i dun know, i just felt that most of the people here in this country that they are expecting US (Foreigners) to just adopt anyhow there culture which i also think is a good practices, but i think their expectations are too much. they even forget that These Foreigners have their own beliefs in life. Sian.)

I only have 3 days to prepare, still haven't decided on foods. well i just think of this as Christmas or Feast Day. so hopefully i can survive :)
