7 years anniversary

This is how awesome of a wife I am. I forgot that last Friday night out was to celebrate our 7 years "pak-tor" anniversary. I thought it was just a regular dinner date.

We had an awesome time nonetheless. And keeping true to our rustic spirit, we didn't get all dressed up and dine at a big plate small meal huge price restaurant by the river and drank expired fermented grape passing off a exquisite juice known as wine. Instead, we kept to our heartland spirit, and went to Jalan Kayu for some true Memphis-fare.

Our car was parked at a nearby open-air car park (avoided parking under the tree to prevent bird shit), we had to walk through "Jalan Kayu Interim Park" to get to our restaurant.

Interim [in-ter-uhm] - noun

a temporary or provisional arrangement

We will be waiting patiently when the Interim is over and the Permanent park is build.

Jerry's BBQ and Grill. 

"Memphis Style Bar-B-Q" and Home of the Original Deep Fried Mushrooms and Buffalo Wings. 

Like I said, we like rustic, good food in quantity and my husband likes the meat. Of course, since its THE HOME, we had to order their deep fried mushrooms and Buffalo Wins (Intensi-fied) on top of a Rocket salad and a trio platter (consisting of ribs, pulled pork and grilled chicken with french fries). 

Yup, it was too much and we couldn't finish everything. Plus, I had 2 margaritas (always order the double tequila shots) and Hei had a beer. 

Dinner was ok. Disappointed that the wings were not spicy enough (gonna try the highest level the next time) and the dipping sauce for both the mushroom and the wings were the same. But otherwise, the salad for once had respectable quantity and the trio platter was palatable enough. 

The horoscope seemed to be quite right...The Water Dog will re-discover its love for the outdoors in 2011.

I picked up Kay Kay again. On Tuesday, she and I went for our first jog in a few months...we jogged for 5km...to the end of Punggol Promenade and back.

Pause. Let me talk a bit about Punggol Promenade...this newly opened boardwalk by Sungei Serangoon is awesome. There is Popeye's Chicken, Xian (seafood restaurant) and Firenze (a bistro which I have a feeling I may frequent). On one end, it leads you to Lorong Halus Wetland (still under construction) and the other leads you to Punggol Park. Its awesome. I love it. Towards Lorong Halus is really crowded (especially on weekends)...people from all over Singapore seemed to come and share this little piece of heaven...and children are littered everywhere (control them parents!). But on a weekday evening, its (much) less crowded and quiet - the only noise you hear are the huffing and puffing of joggers like me.

Heart! Teo Chee Hian deserves my vote at the elections.

So back to the jogging part. Yesterday, Kay and I went for another 5km jog but this time we explored Lorong Halus Wetlands. And although getting back to the momentum is quite hard, but the finishing is usually satisfying. Tired, sure. But it makes me happy. Plus I added a 17 stories climb up to my apartment yesterday. Gawd, that was reeeally hard.

This evening, Hei and I decided to take Poly and Marin out for a short ride. We push it to nearby SPC to pump air and rode to 401 for dinner. 

I couldn't sleep last night. Went to bed a bit heart broken but didn't want to affect your studying, so I just decided to go to bed.

"It's either I study here go I go back there."

Was that a threat? I didn't even know who I am more upset with, yourself or me? What you said was insensitive but it actually made me wonder if I should have been more patient, if I should be more understanding. Don't get me wrong, I see that you took the effort to spend time wth me by coming to study in the room. I appreciate the effort. But all the time you were beside me, I spoke only once and the only once was greeted with such a hurtful response.

I really dont think I deserved it.
