Mel and the New Normal

We celebrated our daughter's birthday a few months ago (this is an extremely late post). Just sharing a few photos of her special day. Luckily, it was a holiday, so we were able to take along Miks and Josh. We bought her our usual favorite pink flowers, plus a cake and some balloons. Here's ate taking photos of our gifts. We put a fish cookie on the cake, just so it wouldn't be boring. Coz you know. She's a water dragon. (Labo haha!) We just wanted to make her cake look a little kiddier. We celebrated the day by eating at the nearby Zark's, where we shocked the kids with our impressive Bacon-caged Burger. Yum.  We had a great time, visiting her as a family, as usually it is Just and I who visit her. Okay, this entry isn't just about balloons and burgers, if that's what you're thinking =D In hindsight, the last 2 years since her passing have been good to us. We really feel that there is an angel up there watching ove

Was in Greenhills area a couple of weeks back, and forced Justin to check out Ronac Art Center with me to look at rubber shoes. We actually have done events in Ronac for kiddie parties but I've never seen it personally, so I also wanted to check it out for work. After checking out Titan and drooling at the shoes (for Justin, not for me), I asked if we could have lunch on the ground floor. We (okay, I) chose Lunchbox, just because it looked pretty from the outside, hehe. SUCKER! The interiors were refreshingly cool to the eyes, with clean neat lines and lovely lighting. Even the floor had lighting! I love lighting! Seriously though, I liked the design of the place, and the aircon was nice and cool (it was blisteringly hot outside that day.) I had the Rueben (P295), which was a corned beef sandwich with the works. Goodness gracious it was YUMMY! Was that dill I tasted? I would order this again in a heartbeat. I actually told Justin that the style reminded me of Breakfast

Since moving homes, I have gained A LOT of weight. What would be my usual weight gain in a year happened in a span of months! But it's not my fault, it's my husband's fault! I mean, look at my breakfasts! This is why I'm so fat now! Scrambled eggs, strawberries, kiwi fruit, and spam c/o Justin. Burnt croissant c/o me. This one was a healthy dinner, actually. Salad with strawberries and kiwi, potatoes, and soy chicken Wheat bread, corned beef, eggs, kiwi (I know, we love kiwi) plus jam from Antonio's How can you NOT get fat from these meals? It's gotten to the point that I got mad at him for cooking like this everyday, to which he responded in a "damned if I cook, damned if I don't cook" kind of way. Hahaha. True. I need to go to the gym or something. I'll never be on a diet in this house!

Been very very busy the past few months with work... Can I just not work anymore? Haha! That would be the dream, not to run businesses, just stay home and take care of the family.  Unfortunately reality calls, and 1 income isn't enough unless the kids are scholars until college!  So I'm on blogging pause at the moment, but will try my best to crank out some words with the photos just saved on my draft folder :p Or maybe just post the photos on their own!  See you in a bit!
