Eat, drink and be married!

I come from a family that believes in open communication. To an outsider, this probably seems outrageous because there are things that can be said and cannot. Yet I am thankful that there is none of the imaginary barriers. 

Even then, I found it hard telling my parents. I honestly have never found it harder to break any other news but this. The anguish and pain I put them through this journey, I will never forget. The disappointment they face with me everytime I get disappointed, I can never imagine. I know my Mom hurts for me every single time I wail my heart out but she does not say. I know my Dad aches for us in all the silence.

But we just had to and the support that came thereafter was immense - the prayers they offered above all. I cannot reiterate how important that meant to us.

Thank you dad and mom. :) 

There was a parody that went almost viral earlier this year. A prata bag. And while most men went over the board with the sharing, one cannot muse but the devil does wear prada, doesn't she?

I loved the movie to bits, gotta give Meryl Streep some credit for pulling the role off brilliantly.

I'm not sure when and where Prada entered my lust list, pretty sure this started way before the movie itself. The acquisitions started one by one...and even the companions bought Prada as gifts.



My first orange bag

I would very much have wished that the orange belonged to another brand but no lobster, shrimp is as good yes? Famed for the waterproof Nylon material, bags and make up pouches made with this material sold as hotcakes for a number of years. A Prada fan proudly declared that it was double walled so even if the insides are stained, the outside will not show.

Lightweight and terribly eyecatching, this remains one of my favourites.



The Space Outlet Mayhem

Nobody goes to Italy without a visit to Space Outlet, a drive from Florence. Infact it was the highlight of my trip - a warehouse for shopaholics. Past season items but the prices more than justify them.

The shades I never got but still lusted 

Butterfly shades were all the rage when Victoria Beckham donned them. That unique curves and how it covered half my face, was always on my mind. I never got down to bagging them though...what a pity!




So long farewell, shades

My first pair of Prada shades albeit costing just 40 Euros and a huge steal, was lost during my honeymoon. As bummed as I was and hot headed at the husband for not looking out for it, they were so comfy and fashionable while they lasted!

Smell like Prada

The most value for money acquisition is their perfumes, an explosion of feminine touches in their provocative designed Prada Candy bottles. Well if you cannot carry Prada, wearing it as a scent is equally seductive methinks.

So which devil will you be?

That's infinity minus two years together. I muse silently at the thought of forever less two years of being annoyed, frustrated and amused all at once.Wasn't it just yesterday that we turned one or even got married??? Time flies, aye.




Cotton anniversary it is and as usual, I had to include that in the gifts...LOL. Enjoy the cotton my dear Hubba!

We are at a stage of not being newly weds and neither are we 老夫老妻, surely I get around his quirks alot better than I used to but...like my parents say, the journey ahead is loooooooooong. 

5 things I learnt in our second year

52 recipes is possible for a noob cook

And I did. Accomplished 52 and more recipes, making the mom uber proud of me - one a previous anti-kitchen, homeware person. Not the bestest cook around but I will survive in a war at least!

Fart, burp, puke...so? 

I used to be so anal about this. SO ANAL. I could not bear to let go of any unwanted baggages infront of my boyfriends. Puking included..cos it would make me look so bad.

But now? Er. We compete for the last fart. And oh, the mister can burp on demand. Anyone wants to hire him?

Let it GO

So they all say don't let the anger simmer and solve all problems within the same day but really, at times it is about letting go of the argument when appropriate. Time is not the yardstick of who has the better argument, moving on is.

Movie night, wut? 

I think the last time we caught one excluding inflight entertainment was during a charity movie event. And really because I was organizing it. Hur hur.

Homecooked sounds good! 

Yes, I have preferred a stay home night to a late night restaurant-bar prowling. OH OH.

I may still get annoyed with your messy habits just like you secretly abhor my colouring your boxers or towels a uniform shade of pink but thank you for the last 2 years. Happy anniversary! :)
