Three months into married life

Many of my friends have asked me how married life is. I've asked my friends who have recently married, how they feel married life is. I got many of the same responses, which is: "Not much, just an extra piece of jewellery."

I don't feel that way, I feel alot more than that. I feel very very happy to be able to share the rest of my life with someone that I love. Someone that I care about and someone that cares about me.

I often feel quite spoilt, in that my husband will go and check my car to make sure I have enough petrol, and if i only have half or 1/4 left, he would take my car out and fill in petrol for me.

Every morning, I will see my 2 sets of keys (house & car) next to my mobile phone which he'll always put next to my handbag. Thinking about small little things like this make me smile and remind me how lucky I am. I know i'm being taken care of. We've been through alot to be where we are now, the ride hasn't been easy. It was very tough.

I love going home after work to hang out with him, even though we don't do much but cook and watch TV. Our unit is very small, yet cosy.

I've been learning how to cook to make different and yummy dinners for him. I get tired after work but I love cooking for my husband. Watching him eat 3 bowls of rice and 1 big bowl of soup makes me feel so happy. What makes me even happier is watching him pack his lunch for the next day :)

I giggle as I watch his waistline go a little wider. I giggle when he tries to do sit ups to get his sixpack back and I giggle when I see a small muffin top when he puts on his pants.

I'm loving every day we spend together. I love the laughs that we have. It's very special :)

Online shopping - Part 2

How I love online shopping. I received my items in 3 working days.

I love the suspense of waiting for my shopping delivery at work and checking EMS every day to see where my shipment is at.

The part I enjoy the most is unwrapping. Unwrapping a package with my new clothes, all individually wrapped with clear plastic. The feeling reminds me of when I was a little girl and waiting for the clock to tick past 12am on the 24th December so I can open my Christmas presents that sit very nicely under the Christmas tree. It reminds me of the feeling of happily waiting anxiously for good news to come my way :)

Yesterday, as soon as I got home, I rushed upstairs to my bedroom, made sure I had enough room space on the floor, picked up my pair of scissors and cut the package apart. Taking each piece by piece, trying them on and having them fit & look good, it's was such a happy feeling :)

Online shopping

Arrrggghhhh.. i've gone crazy doing online shopping!!!!
It's soooo addictive!!!
Can't wait to receive my new goodies :)

QQ

Yesterday marked a very important date for me. It was the day we found out that our baby is healthy. Everything is going to plan. It's height, kidneys, heart, lungs, brain & lips were all very good. To the expected delivery date it's only one day out. I'm getting very excited. I also asked to find out if it was a girl or boy. The doctor told me, and my baby was sooo co-operative. It's legs were just sitting wide apart, so it's genitals could be seen very very clearly. I'm glad I had a cup of milk tea before I went in for my ultrasound. It made QQ alot more active and I saw it smile :)

I asked the doctor whether the gender was just 80% accurate but it was so clear, that she said it was 100%. It doesn't matter whether it's a girl or a boy, as long as it's happy and healthy.

Now, it's made it even easier for Ray and I to do our baby shopping, and it's naming time!!!

Wontons for dinner

We were orgininally going to steam boat and then Ray decided to make his famous Wontons for dinner instead. It has ginger and bak choi. It's very tasty.
I also made chicken & melon soup for dinner to go along with his wontons and invited my mum and brother over for dinner. I think I ended up eating 20!!

Mini Chicken Pies

There's been alot of talk about the unhealthy-ness of frozen meat & chicken pies. Ray loves eating pies for breakfast - simply because it's convenient for him to microwave at work, so I decided to try out Addy's recipe for making mini chicken pies this Easter holiday. It didn't take as long as I expected, but it turned out very very yummy. They are freezable, so he can take them and microwave them at work for breakfast.
They are alot healthier without all the added preservatives :)
