it's like.... my wildest dream come true!

saying i had a fabulous weekend.. would be an understatement.
still reeling from the shock.
stomach still clenching from the excitement. *huge grin*

Saturday started off on a wonderful note *smile*
Before we were due to meet Adrian and Irene for dinner
we went to Lor Halus (Pasir Ris Farmway) with Andrew and Rachel
they brought us to a newly discovered prawning farm!
we'd prob go try our luck there someday.. and its near home too.
since we're there, we HAD to check out the fish farms
zack's been bugging about getting a Arowana *hai*
(and he says i'm so full of nonsense.. haha)
but i'm putting my foot down on this.
Cos Arowana eats frogs and other small fishes,
its too cruel for my liking.
imagine the poor froggies fighting for their lives.
i cant even bear to kill the live prawns while steamboating at Marina South.

Then under the scorching sun, we were off to Marina South!
apart from the splattering from the hotplate, dinner was great.
But still somewhat unsatisfied cos i didnt had my fill
nowadays, my stomach seems to have shrunk..
and can only accomodate a small portion of food
which makes eating not as enjoyable.. sheesh.
(hollars to the gals: "let's go pig out! SY can diet later")

but i must say the highlight is after dinner
we got a new part-tow place!
Marina South Pier...

...nestled at a corner of marina south
it hosts a nice cosy cafe
with the therapeutic view of the sea
but the best part of it is..
its anonymity.
it still retains its tranquility and you can do some fishing there
though zack said there're no fishes there to be caught.. haha

we head back home and just bum the night away.. watch dvds (though i spent most of the time napping). As far as a day goes, this is perfect for me *smile*

Sunday... is DA DAE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Usually on a weekend, i have the luxury of sleeping in. But somehow, i'd be awake by 10 - 11am. So its either i go on the com, or i just lie in bed and read.. til i fall asleep again..puurrrrfect. So this sun, i just snuggle up with my hubby and do some reading. Reckoned i would have an hour of reading then snooze til 3pm. Imagine my astonishment when zack wakes up at 10.30am.. without help from me/dogs/alarm! (he dun usually wake up til way pass noon). That's not all.

He announced he is hungry and rushed us off to Suntec.. he wants to have Kenny Rogers for lunch *winks* So by noon, we were under the sweltering heat, on the bike and off to town.

Had our lunch then proceed to the convention hall for the IT show. Man oh man.. the traffic was massive! it took 5 mins just to get into the hall. Not a place to loiter but to just get your purchase done and go. Almost turned tail and leave.

3 hours later...

we walked out with my birthday present (5 months in advance) in tow *screams*

NEVER in my life would i ever expect this.... its simply too much. I was getting close to making my decision.. when zack said he'd buy it for me for my birthday. I was stunned. Completely. I almost fainted.. nah, just kidding.. but my heart was close to bursting. Finally we agreed that he'd pay half of it. I wouldnt want him to spend so much on me either.. now that is really TOO MUCH. He's complaining that my bday presents are getting more and more expensive.. ahahaha.

We then went to Crosstalk for some coffee and to rest our legs. As we were playing with my new toy.. he told me he intended to buy it for me when he get his year-end bonus... awww jeeez..*cries* but since this IT show came on, with all these freebies, might as well get it now. In any case, we will have good use for it for at least 2 occasions :)

but it's real funny cos zack seems more excited about it than i. While i'm having my internal war on whether to get it or not.. if so, which one?.. he was happily nudging me to try it out.. test the functions.. expounding on its attributes.. hahaha. He's leaning towards this particular one.. he's a stickler on quality.. or maybe he does know my heart's desire :) yeah, i go to showrooms, collect brochures, read up on it.. haha

...so with elated hearts, we head back home *beams*
