long weekend


i hardly have the opportunity nor desire to cook. i really admire how working mums continue to cook dinner for the family every night, despite the long hours at work. i doubt i'll have the energy to do that in future, will have to depend on my mum to feed the little one next time. :-) it has been a while since we made anything other than sandwiches and pasta at home... tonight, i decided we should whip up a few simple dishes to be eaten with plain porridge (it's always porridge over rice for me) - stirred fried spinach, onion omelette and sesame chicken wings. :-)


i never had the luck when it comes to free tickets to the national day parade - the closest watching it 'live' was the preview when i was a kid. we spent the evening indulging in japanese dinner at minori (united square) since the tanjong katong outlet had ceased operations. i think the hubby was disappointed that he just couldn't eat as much (sashimi) as he wanted to/thought he could - age's catching up, that's why! in any case, we decided that we should stop going for buffets, it's never worth it (especially for me)! we ended the night at mark ge's place to catch the manchester united vs chelsea community shield game - eh, chelsea actually won on penalties, and i'm still wondering why rooney and owen weren't the ones going first. oh and now i know why mark can no longer watch soccer in peace with mikel around, haha, but he's such a cute boy. :-)
