Long weekend ahead - Fri, Sat, Sun and Mon - yet, so much is cramped into the next 4 days that I’m not sure if there’s enough time to do them all! Love it that my weekend is starting on Friday. Hate it that I’ve to cramp the entire week’s work into the remaining weekdays that I barely have time for anything other than the W-word. Not much sleep and definitely no gym at all. Oh well….we win some, we lose some.

.
Highlights for the next 96 hrs :

  • Some super delayed self-pampering time (God knows how badly I need this one!)
  • The once-in-a-blue-blue-moon extended family gathering in the form of a wedding banquet. Poor non-Hokkien-speaking Aussie cuz made me swear not to leave her alone with the other relatives. It continues to amaze me how lots of folks are not aware of the fact that speaking in Chinese in front of a non-Chinese-speaking person is somewhat rude.
  • Sweetheart will be meeting some of my relatives for the first time. I know some of my out-of-town cousins are keen to meet him. He ain’t exactly Mr PR but hey, he’s my man and that says alot already about him, eh? ;)
  • Quality time with Baby J. Can’t wait! She is *soooooooo* adorable and my heart instantly melts at the sight of her cutish smile.
  • It’s Jazz Festival time again. Dunno if we will have time to join our party friends coz there’re at least TWO MORE parties on the same night! How to split into 3 so that we can go for *all* of them???
  • Food Hunt! Can’t believe it’s been an entire year since I zoomed all over town looking for clues and famous food, and finally emerging 2nd runner-up. Wonder how the turn-out this year will be and if we will win more prizes than last year.
  • More quality time with Aussie cuz before she heads off to UK (lucky biatch!). Dunno when we’ll get to hang out again. Altho I’ve been feeling abit weird about not having my pad to myself for the past week, I think the first few days after her departure will leave a strange void in my pad.
  • Material shopping for homemade X’mas tree deco. So few weekends left to D-Day, so much to do to prepare for D-Party!
  • Don’t think I’ve ever been *this* nervous about putting my signature on a dotted line. Come to think of it, even signing the S&P for my apartment slightly more than 2 years ago wasn’t this scary!
  • And above it all, making sure there’s quality time put aside for us. After all, we’ve both been sick and strange as this may sound, I miss *US* time.

Crazy, eh?
But then again, who would want a boring Life with non of the maniacal stuff to keep us spinning? ;)

First sign of X’mas

A couple of weeks ago when the malls started putting up their X’mas trees, I didn’t feel the X’mas mood. When my gym started replacing their Halloween deco with X’mas ones, I was *still* not in the X’mas mood. Yeah, I sing along to the catchy tunes whenever I hear X’mas songs playing in places where I was at (latest being at my hairdresser’s) but yet, no X’mas mood.

.
A good galfren decided to change that over the weekend. “No No! We will BRING the X’mas mood to your place! Let’s have a homecooked seafood dinner on Sunday and then, we can sit down to plan the helluva X’mas party you always throw at your pad!”

.
So by the end of Sunday night, we had a bunch of stuff checked and booked for the FUNNEST party of the year.

.
X’mas tree - Check
Handmade deco for tree - Check (will write abt this in a separate post)
Party date - Check
Guest list - Check
Food list - Check
Color theme for this year - Take a guess… *hint - it’s my current HOT color*

.
We’ve still got a couple of weekends till the party but LOADS to do before then. Hope I have time to sleep. But then again, who needs sleep when we have love and lotsa holiday cheers, huh? *LOL*
