Desperation
I have fallen sick way too many times this year. The plan to fight the sick monster includes an ionizer, loads of vitamin C tablets and probiotic capsules. NO MORE MCs from now to December I pray!

J cooks
J finally used the Happycall pan I bought him. Hurray!
I didn't manage to take pictures of the first thing he cooked. Think it was an omelette that fast disappeared into my stomach!
This is beef I think.
Yummy fried rice! Egg, fishcake and Chinese sausage (lup cheong) and luncheon meat

Of bags
I bought this kate spade stevie for travelling and it turned out great. Roomy, light and secure with a zip top closure. It went on its first trip to England recently. I hope there will be more trips with this bag. :)
J received many compliments for this Coach bag I got him. You won't believe how difficult it is to buy something for him. For one, he has better taste than I. I'm almost sure that anything I choose is not good enough. Turns out he likes this enough and didn't chide me for the money I parted with in exchange for it. Thank God! :P

London May 2012
We did not manage to catch Wicked in Singapore and decided to do so in London.
Musicals are really not my thing. I fell asleep every time someone started to sing!
kate spade in London, Sloane Square
Paddington stall at Paddington Station
And we brought home not one but two Paddington Bears!

Sheffield May 2012
A very unnerving flight - filled with worries and turbulence that lasted over an hour
Celebratory champagne for Dr J!
Even Sheffield has one.
This was taken at 8:40 p.m. on a night in May.
Long but cold summer days in Sheffield

Waiting for love
On a wet and tiring Tuesday, J waits for me in the drizzle right across my office.
This is how I 'survive my time in the cell' - looking forward to the end of the day when I get to see J after work. Unlike most people who suffer from Monday blues, I find Tuesdays the hardest and J knows this.

Technically it's not my birthday
This is the birthday cake that got cut up before the birthday song was sung and the birthday girl got to make a wish. No, seriously, I kid you not.
And the conversation that took place?
You cut the cake??
Ya.
But you haven't sung me the song and I didn't get to make a wish!
Oh... (Pregnant pause) But it's not your birthday yet. Your birthday is tomorrow.
So am I getting a cake tomorrow?
Nope. This is it.
?!?!
Happy 36th birthday to me in advance. I wish myself good health and lots of joy in the coming year!

April
came and went and boy am I glad!
Of course, I am not pregnant.
Oh and did I mention that I bought a happycall pan for J? He saw the TV ad and decided he'd like to experiment with the pan. I'm happy to eat whatever he cooks with it, as long as I don't have to do any work in the kitchen!
The month saw me busy right from the start. Deadlines were impossible but continued to stream in like nobody's business. At least once a week, I slept at 4 am on a work day. While I know many people who can survive on just a few hours of sleep regularly, I can't. I turn 36 in 2 days time but I still need at least 8 hours of sleep daily. 10 hours if possible!
Thanks to the crazy work schedule, my body took a beating and I fell terribly ill towards the end of April. Even on the 2 days I was on medical leave, I was pushed to produce 2 separate piece of work. No, it's not the cure to cancer but for some inexplicable reason, the papers were important to the people who set me the 24hour turnaround deadline.
The end results? 2 pieces of work produced, 2 trips to the clinic, 3 days of medical leave, 7 types of medicine and 1 pregnancy test.
The last was a shocker. Pregnant?! Are you kidding me? I haven't even the time to sleep, much less get pregnant. But the good doctor insisted on playing it safe. He thought it was weird that I was feeling so nauseated all the time and got even more worried when he found out that the last menstrual cycle was unusual. I told him it was probably a bad case of flu and gastritis but nope, the doctor was bent on me taking the test.
So there goes money down the drain.
But every cloud has a silver lining. J learnt how to cook porridge because the doctor had given strict instructions that I was not to eat oily or spicy food. I know porridge is not really difficult to cook but considering how he never has to cook it till today, I'd say he did a pretty good job!

buy buy buy...
This 'Eat cake for breakfast' iPad folio makes me laugh. :)
Back in the uni, 2 colleagues and I were talking about China and poverty over lunch one day. While on the topic of people being so poor and living in such cold climate that they bathe only once or twice a year, I carelessly said maybe there'd be a market there for wet wipes. I mean just imagine the convenience! My colleagues looked at me in total disbelief and burst out laughing. Marie Antoinette, they said I reminded them of her. Rumour has it that the French queen said 'let them eat cake' when her subjects told her that some peasants were so poor they had no bread.
SH and XF, I miss you, my dear friends. :)
This is for travel. Black and white, quite inconspicuous, shoulder carry and roomy, the perfect travel bag. Now all I need is to get my leave approved so I can actually use it!
