090911 Freebie & Sales

FYI, this may be my last post till next Tues. I reckon we'll be out a lot but if I get the time to blog hop, I'll post whatever I manage to find. If not, I'll see you Tues.

Sorry I didnt manage to get this up yesterday, I was feeling somewhat under the weather, took a 'little' afternoon nap & wound up sleeping till 10pm. Working on this now while trying to get a LO done.

09-09-09 was a milestone birthday for me - I turned 20..... again :D I was reminiscing a little about the last "0" bday I had - 10 yrs ago on 09-09-99. There's such a huge difference, in my state of mind & priorities. I was newly single, had personal stuff going on & I was an emotional yoyo & drama queen. Now I have Colin & Mac & too lazy to get worked up over anything :) I got my fave gift ever though - 3 birthday cards from Colin, he said he couldnt think what to get :D It was so sweet, he wrote in all 3 cards part 1, 2 & 3 and even had a poem & it ended with a marriage proposal. (which while I didnt reject, I didnt accept either. Not till 3 years later. I'm slow in everything!)

These are some pics from a few nights ago when we treated a couple of our friends to dinner to celebrate. We went to try the new branch of our favourite Japanese restaurant. Love me some Japanese, cant believe I used to think they were gross! Most of the pics came out icky & I 'forgot' to get one of myself.

Those 2 are our best friends here & the only people we hang out with regularly. So any 'going out' photos will usually contain them :)
Mac loves playing with the chopsticks.
My usual order for Mac would be the miso soup, tamago sushi, chawan mushi and sometimes a garlic or fried rice. These are pretty much the only things he would eat, sadly, he seems to have inherited pickiness from me. Here he's enjoying the pudding, it comes with ice-cream :) One good thing about Mac though - he's not greedy (unlike his mama) & knows when he's had enough so cake, ice-cream, whatever, if he's already full, he's not interested.

This is Steph. Mac went over to sit with him & chattered non-stop for quite a while :D In the 2nd pic, Mac's doing one of his recent fave game "I want to tell you something" & then whisper whatever stuff he can think of at the time like 'I'm Optimus Prime' or 'I love biscuits'.


Fooling around with Mac on my birthday. Not the most flattering :D I took the pics upside-down & was extremely tempted to leave them that way!

K, going back to wrestle with my LO again :)
