You know how these things simply do not make your day[s]!

WAH I tell you! My flare-ups gets from bad to worst months after months. Last week itself, over 5 consecutive days! And always at the end of the day, I feel terrible! Not because of depression or whatever, but how I became very demanding, screamed and get upset with Chris at the tiny-est issue whether or not if he was in the wrong.

So innocent right? I better keep myself in check the next time round.


And over that 4-5days while I was having my PMS, Mommy's Jrt came over for a stay while enoying a trip at Hongkong until Saturday. She's overly active! OVERLY i tell you!!!

When I brought her back, at the carpark, the maid brought Nono down too, Gung-ho 8mths old Ruby, attacked Nono! And in my heart, I was like "Shhhiiiiaaattteeee!" With 3 Jack Russells in the house; 1 a super vocal playful male, another a super kaypoh and no-nonsense intolerable of any irritation objects, and lastly a hyper active stubborn adolescent who doesn't know her manners can only result in one thing : CHAOS!!!

With caution, I appraoch the main gate cafefully, making sure Ruby doesnt bark her head off when she sees Sundae, Sundae HATES rude, noisy & irritating dogs. But all was good. Kaypoh Sundae must be curious as well.

It was so fun having 3 dogs, and JRTs at that, in the house. so much amusement, laughter & chasing going on around the house.

Supposed to send her back on Saturday afternoon, but because I'm gonna be so packed on Saturday, I brought her back to Mom's place on friday evening, stayed over the night and left her house on saturday afternoon.

So boring lah, Chris suggested we do something and I thought that we were so naughty that night! AHAHAHA

We brought durians up to the place lah! Mom's car and her house stank like hell! I tell you, the smell was still around the next day when we left!

I loved durian since young, but as I grew, I find that they smelled PUNGENT, but tasting is fine with me.

I was in charged to "de-seed"[don't know if this word exist, but it I modified it from "deboned" :P] Eeekyyuckyslimysmellingdurians!



And Chris was in charge of the batter & intensity of the heat.



Then being woman, I had to cook!



While the man always wait to get fed!



Chris:Hey readers, please don't believe her! This is only what the pictures show! PS:babyyoushouldntbelying!givemesomejusticecan?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA! Ok lah, I'm not a typical woman, I seldom cook & wash and so, out of the many pancakes, I only did 2 before I complained about the humidity & oilyness in the kitchen before escaping into the toilet for a relaxing shower.

We tried out many things lah, thin pancake with durian or strawberry stuffings, & thick pancakes with durian or strawberry mixed intot he batter.

Looks gross? Tasted gross as well! My idea! :P
Chris:Can'tbelieveyou'restillsoprooudaboutit. *kok*



The durian one looks weird, but taste heavenly okay!



See poor Ruby who could only smell the fragrance of the durian? All dogs I know loves durian!



After all the cooking & washing, it was already like 130 in the morning, so we ate only 2-3 of the successful pancakes before heading to bed.

Was really beat out after a full day of activities, and I slept all the way up till the noon. Chris, being the early riser, got up, fed the dog, cleaned up her outputs & sneakily went to prepare breakfast for the both of us.

No prize for guessing right, he made pancakes again! But no durians, no strawberry or weirdy stuffs this time. Just 3 pieces of plain, sweet and honey topped pancakes served with a cup of milk along with love.

Sweet hor? But I never take pictures. The pancakes tasted like those in MacDonald's! Now I don't have to get up before 11am and walk 15mins to the nearest Mac and spend $5-$6 ust to have 3 pcs of pancake, 1 drink & a hashbrown. I can have them anytime I want now!


Coming to our 4th month now, and each month, we'd visit virtual land with a budget for Chris to get me a softie.

Feb's - Easy peasy, we got this at about $15 bucks with plenty of sweets



March's - Not from Virtual Land, instead of the usual sweet scopping/sweeping booth, Chris decided he want to try the "Kiaping" booths, busted $20plus and still we got nothing. Not wanting to burn so much, I was upset with him wanting to continue until he gets me something. Had a tiny lil tiff and headed to the Taxi stand to join Dad for dinner. Halfway through, Chris went to Mini Toons and got me the CJ7 which was popular on the shelf.




April's - Again, against spending too much, but somehow, feeling rich & bored, we sat ourselves at the largest and most popular sweet scooping/sweeping jackpot booth! At our 25th Dollar we barely hit Bonus A [5levelups]. Then at our $27.50th dollar, the checker hit, and we thought "that's it lah, busted $30 for a lil bit of sweets and no Bear!" Then to our surprised, it hit the JACKPOT! It took us like 3 seconds to absorb the realisation of hitting the JP and that we gotten the price at 1/4 of the levels needed!



I think the couple beside us also got Jackpot-ed cos I noticed them sitting after us and gotten the prize earlier than us.

Haha, lucky or what?

Come to think about it, I haven given him anything. Lalalala~ The damage of the few biggy presents is still hurting my wallet, and to add on to the damage, I haven been paid by my company for the past 2months!

Sigh! Should I work in a Bank? There's a vacancy, working hours are not long and best thing is I get paid monthly. But the down side is, I will not have the flexibility & challenges I had right now in my current company.

Tell me what to do
Michelle
