Is it ONE year already???!!

Wow. Married for ONE year!! Its not exactly long, compared to many out there, but certainly, it feels like a milestone to me.

Actually, married life is not so much different, in terms of our relationship...the only thing that really rocks is living on my own. Which also equates to a lot more clubbing, a lot more drinking and a lot more boogie-ing since I got married. (and sans the man too!!) So, I'm pleased.

The only downside to this whole marriage thing, in retrospect, is the housework issue. Since the Empress Dowager (Me) does not like doing any, and I mean any, housework at all, it WAS a HUGE pain to start trying to do laundry, iron clothes etc. In the beginning, the man did everything, and I just sort of lounged on the bed, feeling gulity about it. Of course, that issue has been sorted out with the ever so nifty LYN!!! Lyn - my part time domestic help...is a godsend. Works at the speed of lightning and her ironing skills...KICK ASS MAN.

Ok, so enough raving about the maid and not so much about the husband. HAHAH. Anyhoo, anniversary was celebrated @ Graze, where the food is excellent and the desserts even better!

TRying to look lovey dovey. It's not easy since BC and I are into tough love. : p



Yummy Starter



Me and my "photogenic" husband



Some strawberry dessert that was served with GENEROUS helpings of honey comb..YUMMY!!



This was the dessert I ordered. The description said something like fried bananas with honey/caramel or something. Turns out its just our friendly goreng pisang with ice cream, instead of some atas dessert. Yummy all the same tho my poseur self was a tad disappointed with the crude looking fried WHOLE bananas. ( I tot pan fried slices ok!)

Mini Ben

Finally, the mini Ben is out into this world! Since the day I found out that Gi was preggers, we've been ever ever so excited for the baby to arrive. Mini ben, or huatlet as we like to call him, was born on the 12th October, 7.03pm. At the time he was born, I believe I was having a glass of white wine at Xiyan. In anticipation of a celebration no less.

Here are some pics of Huatlet @ 3 hours old. And ALREADY such a cutie. Since most babies look like hamsters or slightly gremlin-ish when they are new borns, I think Huatlet has the makings of a hottie as he already has like a "face" @ three hours old. You know, like different and distinct, not like the other generic lookking babies. Is it a biased view? Do I care?


Fresh from the oven


Ben the man carrying baby for the first time! See the joy? Even I am touched looking at this scene...


Aunty Daphne trying get ahead in the fav aunty race.


Huatlet with Mommy and fav aunties. To think the 12 year old Gi that screamed at me & Daph for trying to mutilate her school uniform is now a mom! Gosh!


The YEOS.
