Jap Jap Foodcourt

Went for dinner at the Japanese Foodcourt this evening.





Great concept, reasonable prices and okay food standard for the kind of pricing. Super packed so it was a good decision to go late at about 8.30pm to avoid the dinner crowd.

Time For Rewarding

Went to get Yun Yi a pressie as an encouragement for her hard work the past year and reward her for her good results. Before we handed her the pressie, we found a pleasant surprise in the letterbox

The is the second year that she's received the "Edusave Merit Bursary" from MOE which is awarded to the top 25% of students in each level in each school. But only can get it if family income is not more than a certain amount. Though we aren't eligible to actually receive the monetary award, we are still happy that she's done well enough.

And this is her pressie!!! NDS Lite in pink. And now didi is pestering us to get him one too. Will go shop for one of those $10 kind of hand held game for him.

Though she couldn't get the puppy she wanted, hopefully she likes what we got her.

Looks complicated but the easiest to do! Photo doesn't do it justice because cannot see the silver lines.

Comfort

Went for Gelare waffles after work today. Comfort food to relieve stress.

See what we saw on the way there.......



Rainbow!!! I know it's barely visible from the picture but it was just right infront of us and enough to brighten up our otherwise bad day.

DIY #11

I am going gaga over the silver/gold french type of combination. And I love the OPI designer series of polish!!!

I Just Don't Get It

LONDON (AFP) - - A British woman is to divorce her husband after discovering he was having a virtual affair within the online game "Second Life," British media reported Friday.

Amy Taylor, 28, met her husband David Pollard within the game in May 2003, and six months later, she moved into his home in Cornwall, southwest England.

The couple married in July 2005, while their "Second Life" avatars Dave Barmy and Laura Skye -- younger, slimmer versions of their real-life selves -- also held an online ceremony for their virtual friends.

After a rare break from the computer, however, Taylor returned to find her 40-year-old husband in an intimate, albeit virtual, position with an online prostitute within "Second Life", which she said was the "ultimate betrayal".

"I was so hurt," she was quoted as saying in The Times, adding that theirs was a "very serious marriage".

"I just couldn't believe what he'd done. It's cheating as far as I'm concerned, but he didn't see it as a problem and couldn't see why I was so upset.

"He said I was just making a big fuss and tried to make out it was my fault for not giving him enough attention."

Second Life is an online role-playing game with more than 15 million users, in which players can create virtual avatars and interact with other gamers, or the environment.

The game has its own virtual economy, in which online currency can be exchanged for real-world US dollars, and several major businesses have set up "branches" within the game, while others operate entirely within it.

According to the Daily Telegraph, Taylor claims that Pollard is now engaged to the woman he was having an online tryst with, despite never having met her.

She has, meanwhile, found a new love, through fantasy online role-playing game "World of Warcraft".

What can I say. I am shocked. These people need to get a life, really.

This second life thing is just taking (back in those days) IRC dating up to another level with avatars to further allow you to live in your own self delusion. I mean how can someome fall in love with an avatar who talk to you in a screen????

It's no wonder the 2 of them hooked up in the first place, they both have the same issues.

Pottery Year

Today's our 9th year wedding anniversary or else also known as the pottery year of marriage. This marriage could only grow stronger as the years go by and the message was everything I needed

"Our life together means more to me than words could ever say. I hope that you would never think I take you or our marriage for granted because each day, I am grateful for the greatest gift I could ever have. Your love."

Thank you, it meant alot to me. I love you.

New Hair

Hubby went for his haircut yesterday and I just wanted to get a wash and a trim on my fringe. I ended up with a new hairstyle!!! Quite a drastic change but I like it so far. It took me like....... 30 seconds to say "ok ok, just cut!!"

May not come easy for alot of people considering it took me quit sometime to get to the length I had. But it's just hair, so no big deal.

LS in the middle of the night and the morning. Going to see the doctor now.......

Another Good Year

Yun Yi got her report book back yesterday. Another year of good results from her and we are so happy and proud. She remains in one of the top 2 classes for primary 3 next year.

Keep up the good work my dear, next year is going to be even tougher. Though no dog for you this year but we are still planning to get you a gift as a reward.

Sigh..... wonder if didi will do as well when it's his turn??

What A Great Day

Went out and spent time with hubby today. Had a great time eating, shopping and just hanging out together. Went for coffee and also played the soft toy jackpot machine, its been so long since we did that!

Before heading home, we went to the newly opened Marina Barrage!! So here comes the pictures.........

Sunset view of the Marina/Suntec area.

At this moment, we both realised that the sky was absolutely beautiful. Breathtaking. Doesn't happen often when you can be at a place with such a great view, great weather and just look up to the sky and suddenly it dawns upon you that this is a moment to be remembered........

Our moment.
