A Sapping Weekend
17th July 2006, Monday
It's been a weekend which is totally void of any rest or substantial one...
My lass had to work on Saturday once again and we had to get up as early as 7 as she prepared to work and most importantly not to be late for it...
For the entire afternoon, I was on my toes once more with the notion of a recall manning still yet to realize for 3rd weeks now...
But the alone time on Saturday serves as the ideal time to clear those anime series I had accumulated over the week, and hinder my progress on my webpage...
Rendenzvous with my lass at Robinson's where we get the orthopaedic-friendly pillows from the people that we spent that obscene amount for our mattress...
Also through recommendation we went to get a set of bedsheets, our 2nd set after that feline-inspired one she bought from Italy...
It didn't come cheap once more...despite the sale the department is raving at the moment...
We reached La Tendo but my wife ain't too chirpy as she had only cookies for food the entire day and we should have dine and wait for the rest at Plaza SIngapura where we would be catching the movie...
For a movie night-out with the clique, I didn't see the likes of Ferris, Karen and even the organizer, Chan who was prompt to SMS everyone and yes every single one to be watching the show of the time to meet...
Karen and Miyano came along and joined us for dinner which was set to be Ajisen for my lass to satisfy her tastebuds for some extra-spicy ramen while Miyano filled me in with the flooding of air conditioning piping in the main store which halted operation for 2 days in the past week as I thought it was not as serious as it turned out to be which cost them a hefty 15K of stocks been drenched in oil-smudged water...Now they are awaiting insurance payment which would not be that close to the exact loss amount...
I was slightly guilt-strickened not able to lend a hand to my comrades in dire straits...
The movie suely began at around 8 plus and as scheduled ended at around 2 and a half hours later with swashbuckling pirate action to which I felt was even better than the original "Pirates of Caribbean"...
Davy Jones and his sea-creature mutant-pirates are way cool and of course Johnny Depp surely made up for the lacklusture performance by his co-stars.. of course the ending hang us in anticipation of the 3rd part when the actual conclusion would be and Chow Yuen Fatt as a Chinese villain pirate...
My lass was smitten with fatigue but was condescending enough to allow an aftershow drink and chat session at the nearby Kopitiam when Karen was very much entertained by the marital disagreement between Vincent and Miyano when the latter seriously barred her hubby from indulging too much in oily delicacies so late in the night; of course my chubby friend ain't gonna oblige once he was on his gastronomical warpath...
Another late turn-in which we hoped we could laze in bed into Sunday's afternoon but it was not meant to be as my family was getting ready to head out to prepare for the photo-taking session as WERKS studio for Sis' commencement photo which of course include the family potrait with us in our graduation gowns the studio would provide as well...
I had not really planned to wear shirt and pants and bring along a tie sounded hassle at first... of course I couldn't find one in the entire morning which I did eventually...
AFter dropping by my in-laws where my wife brought along a formal shirt and off we sped off in a cab down to Albert Court Hotel where the studio is situated...
Of course under Raffles Photos, this studio did not meant to come cheap to begin with but we soon found out every cent counts with the quality and professionalism they delivered which my own photo-taking years back could not match, of course comes much cheaper as well...
My lass grasped the opportunity to fulfill a personal wish to take a photo in her gown which she did gratefully with yours truly sponsored by my folks and think she was really glad as we planned the frame shot as a gift for her mom...
After some food at Tekka Mall, we proceed to our bridal shop where the gowns are ready for try-out especially with the designer available today to check out the actual piece on her...
She had fretted about her weight gain since her return but the wedding gown snuggled into her like a glove though they had been some minor glitches which the designer is on hand to fix it...
As for her musty-orange tea-dress which is rather generous with some cleavage which I am cool with to begin with, seemed rather out of proportioned around the hip area which actual turned out to be the external layer was the cause of it and should be fine if was fine tuned properly...
I took a notice on how the many prospective brides in the shop was actually beaming in radiance and make them look prettier, perhaps the blessedness being a bride ultimately...
We bidded my family farewell as we headed off to Chinatown under the scorching sun as my lass was determined to get a concert DVD featuring her favorite Taiwanese boyband (who else?) and she did get it which cost $6 more than this popular CD shop near Outram MRT station where I got Utada Hiakru's latest album, "Ultra-Blue" which also cost much less than what it would be from major CD stores...
I would be quick to say "sucker" but surely not on my bride-to-be...
The evening had our fatigue for 2 full days of wandering around town hitting back on our bodies and we got the wrath of preparing for work the following day...
She also put me through the horror of watching the concert DVD she is so excited about, which bewildered me when the lads just lip-synched for majority of the time I actually was obliged to watch with her when fans actually forgave them for ripping off their ticket money for doing a Milli-Vanilli...those guys just can't sing live for nuts...
With a wrenching headache, my lass stayed for yet another night as she would be for every weeks in the future...
