Guess the stress is catching up with me once again...was determined to spend the two full days relaxing with Hubby yesterday and the day before, but thoughts of work always haunted my mind. Heart feeling very heavy too...think Hubby sensed it cos he noticed I didn't mention work at all, and he knew I must have been bottling things up. Yeah, he really knows me well. :) Sigh, just didn't wanna ruin the days for us by complaining about work that's not finished yet. Anyway, even though I did worry about work piling up at the back of my mind, I'm glad to say that I chose to spend quality time with him over work before he went back to camp. After all, it's one of those times when we'll super cherish each other's presence cos we know how difficult it is not to see each other for days on end now that we're accustomed to being married to each other. :)
Ok ok... missing him more liao.. let me recount the nice things that happened to us since my last entry here...
Spotted at last: The Wonder Drink -- C.C. Lemon!!!
Heh, last Saturday, Hubby and I went to Orchard to jalan jalan... and just
dropped by Isetan supermarket cos we thought of checking it out to see if it's got the wonderful bottled lemon drink that our tour guide on our Japan trip last year recommended us to take for loads of vitamin C. Couldn't see it at first but later, after asking this guy who works there, we were led to it... so overjoyed! Wanted to buy three bottles at once but decided to buy just 2 first...anyway now that we know where to get it, we'll surely go back for more! It costs $3.05 per bottle, but it's really lemony and is a little gassy, which makes it more shiok... *slurp*! But too bad I can't drink a lot, cos am supposed to control my sugar intake, but it's really a delicious drink! ;)Tears on 2nd wedding anniversary...
The next day, 16th March... 3:16... the special day -- our second wedding anniversary... :) Can't believe I shed so many tears on this day... tears to do with touching love... Hubby surprised me with a funny and loving card he bought and customised on his own by adding phrases or expressions that depicted the moments of our lives together. So touching... I guess that's really all that matters in life, having someone who loves you for your strengths and despite your flaws. :)Later, on the same day, I cried again... I made Hubby watch this DVD I bought at HMV the 
other day, titled "All About Dogs". It's a compilation of short Japanese films that presented dogs as the theme, each about 8-10 mins long. Really heartwarming. There're funny ones, heartwarming ones and totally sad touching ones. Check out the video I saved on my blog here. It's the last mini film in that DVD, but happened to come across it on youtube, so thought I'd post it here to share and also for myself to watch whenever I want to. It's the saddest film in the DVD, but also one of my favourites. I shed so many tears whenever I watch this. It reminds me of not just a heartwrenching relationship shared between a dog and her owner, but also of how much love exists in real life-- between animals, animals and humans, and of course, between humans. The presence, and absence of love, can really affect one's life tremendously.

Heh, on Good Friday, Hubby and I went out to Orchard again. We decided that since he'd be booking in this morning, we'd spend Saturday at home so he can rest and spend the day out on Friday instead. After lunch at Wheelocks Place, we popped by the toy store as usual and I found myself growing fascinated with cute miniature Japanese food displays. Later in the afternoon, we stopped by Taka to check out possible display cases, after some consideration, and started hunting for cute collections I wanted! Hubby was such a dear... kept asking me which ones out of a certain series I wanted, and helped me look hard for those I like... Went back home with ten boxes of these miniature food collections, and a display case. So exciting! Although it was late by the time we settled down at home, we still sat down to open the boxes and figure out how to display the bits into full meals (it was close to 1am by the time we finished!!!) Hubby also helped me carry the case gingerly towards the kitchen after we cleared a lovely spot for it. It's definitely not gonna be the only case on display! ;D
My very first few boxes of collection and the display case... carefully selected after spending hours at that section of the toy department at Taka... heh. The second picture shows what the contents of each box look like when you open it... you've to figure out how to fit all these delicate pieces together so they form a beautiful set. Next few pictures show the display case when Hubby first set it down on the kitchen top, when the cover of the display is set properly, and what it looks like with the rest of its neighbours in the kitchen ;P So pretty!!! Now whenever I enter the kitchen, I'd just stop by to admire it for a while... hee hee.
Ok, gtg now... need to pack. Although finished some work today, I still have loads to clear, so I need to brace myself for a full hectic week ahead. Plus gotta do house work now that Hubby's not around... sigh, he's such great help usually, taking on the responsibility of taking care of our home. It's when he's not around that I realise how much he actually does. *guilty*
