hyped

today is a good day... except for the frustrating and irritating cough and throat allergy that wouldn't go away. but nevertheless, i still consider this a good day.

we were able to sell out most of the bulky items we have. both the bunk bed and toyogo cabinet were picked up today by fathers with their sons. the dumbells were picked up by vette and rye later in the afternoon capped off with a quick chit chat. the vodka was immediately sold to our housemate and the other one, to my sister.

and of course, my sister was here to spend the day with the kids. i prepared a dreadful looking ref cake! sigh... i still couldn't get the right consistency mix for the grahams. i need to perfect this! haha! we ended the night after two game sets of puerto rico.

the best highlight of the day was during lunch... when my boys thanked me for serving them veggies on their plates. =)

nostalgia

the first movie of 2014 for us is 47 ronins. of course i miss watching keanu reeves on the screen. my first book read is 'and the mountains echoed' by khaled hosseini.. 'twas recommended by a good friend.

today i had an appointment in suntec city. suddenly i found myself remembering the first time i set foot in this place. it was my first trip to singapore to spend christmas with dadi last 2004. upon arrival at home and leaving my luggages behind, we went out to buy gifts for that night. there was going to be a christmas house party with friends. it was the first time i met tita les, tita abby, mader cecel and pader lew and the rest of the gang.

i'm sure that in the next few days of our stay here in singapore, i would be looking back at our first's for the usual places we go to.
