Family Sunday

Was a busy weekend...

SAT. We went to Chong Pang market early in the morning (ha! 1st time stepped into a wet market after, say 10 over years?!) with my parents. Got almost all the ingredients needed for the next day. Had a stroll back which gave them a chance to explore the neighborhood. After lunch @ home, hubby & I went to central to buy the remaining stuff. Returned after an hour for a rest. My original intention was to take a rest on our ottoman while my honey did laundry but without myself knowing I fell asleep. Only woke up 1 hour later & we’re running late for Vince’s haircut appointment @ Tg Pagar. But my sweet hubby still brought me to enjoy my fav peanut ice kacang before going to the salon. Yum yum!!
His haircut didn’t take long though & he’s done in less than half an hour. Wanted to go to Toa Payoh for our 1st month celebration but we’re blur enough to take the train of opposite direction. So we ended up in Tiong Bahru & you know what? We shopped there & ended up with a few shopping bags! Amazed by ourselves and we’re so glad that both of us love shopping & browsing which always makes it such a fun time together… be it in Spore's big shopping malls, Bkk, KL, JB…… & now even in Tiong Bahru. Honestly, we wouldn’t consider making an intentional trip there to shop but voilà! Bought 2 cushions, 2 cushion cases, 1 A4 photo frame & 1 skirt in an hour. We’re planning to go Europe next year… if not possible, perhaps to Korea… guess we better try saving more for shopping as it seems like we can shop anywhere & anytime! Hehe…
Ok back to the prev topic, we then proceeded on to Toa Payoh for dinner & the highlight’s sharks fin soup which each of us had more than 3 servings (oopz.. not for those animal-friendly 1s!) as that’s the minimum pot size to order.
Was already past 9 when we reached home. Started to make our curry chicken for the following day. We’re giggling so hard while trying to use our remaining strength to twist the coffee bags filled with grated coconut so as to get its juice… My hubby’s really great… always so participative & happy with doing the prepping & washing job. The cooking part was not a problem & I was relieved that my 1st curry smelled good after nearly an hour of simmering. Also made a beancurd almond longan as dessert before calling it a day.

SUN. Woke up very early @ 7+ to fry bee hoon. Then went for a shower & get ready to meet my in-laws in their AMK home. We’re going to the studio for my hubby’s graduation shoots!! And I took fotos with him as his wife! Hehee!!
Had my in-laws & his family over @ our new place for a family house-warming lunch thereafter. Very glad they all complimented my curry & appreciated the food though it’s such a limited spread.
They met my brother & family later who came for a swim. The whole family left after another hour. Well… it’s a cozy gathering… great!
Joined my brother’s & sis’ who arrived later at the pool & all of us including my parents just relaxed there with newspapers/gameboy/tidbits..
In the evening, went opp Sembawang Shopping Centre for dinner together with my SIL’s sis & family.
All in all, it’s a FAMILY day!
