Hmmm... so many things happened in the past few weeks... and I have tonnes to update on this blog... like how we spent our 13th anniversary together... how I had the most exclusive weekend at the F.1. race in S.e.p.a.n.g... how we went furniture shopping like mad... and a whole load more... so let's see... shall start with our anniversary dinner...

We met 13 years ago on March 17... and this will be the first year we celebrate our anniversary as a married couple. Instead of having romantic dinner outside... my hubby suggested that he cook me a nice meal... It came as a surprise to me on several levels... First was... "Awwww... he remembered!!!" and then followed by... "Awwww... so sweet...(considering that yours truly can't cook for nuts)...". But then after that... it just seemed way too troublesome to cook... and hence, I suggested we do steamboat at home instead...

Prior to us buying anything... we went and got all the condiments first... and ended up with so many varieties that it occupied half of our kitchen cabinet...

And then... we bought fresh vege from Cold Storage... not just one type but 4 to 5 different types... cos' we can't figure out which type we like... hahahaha... My hubby also went and collect the fresh mantis prawns he ordered from the fisherman along with some other seafood... My in laws also bought us food cos they were worried that we won't know how to select fresh seafood... Little did they know... we have already purchased a whole load of other seafood!!! The photo on the bottom right only shows a fraction of what we had...

When my hubby went and collect some of the stuffs that my in laws bought that evening, they casually mentioned... "You all eat first la... we will come later..." O_o... But but... it was meant to be our romantic dinner at home!!! Nevertheless, we didn't have the heart to say no to them... so at 7-ish... we all had our "anniversary" dinner together... :-)

After they left... we were still left with lotssssssssss of food... so we called our friend; Jackson to join us... while my hubby and I proceeded with our 2nd round... After our 3rd round... we both were so stuffed that we felt like puking... Still... there were leftovers... enough to feed another 6pax!!! In the end, I called my parents and told them that we'd be having steamboat the following night... hahahaha...

So that was how we celebrated our 13th anniversary... stuffed ourselves silly!!! :-)

13 years ago on this date, I met my husband... it's amazing how time flies...
Happy anniversary!!!

Attended M.o.b.i.l.e Y.o.u.t.h yesterday and one of the biggest highlights was meeting Timothy Tiah in person:

It was kinda funny and I think Tim must have thought I'm a mad auntie stalking him... The moment he stepped in, I was so eager to go up to him and say hello... but each time I looked at him, he was always surrounded by a group of people... In the end... before I left... I walked up to him, tapped his shoulder and said: "Hi!!! You must be Timothy Tiah... I read your blog!".

Although this was the first time I met him in person, I felt as if I've known him for ages... thanks to his blog and Twitter... so imagine my excitement when I get to see him in person... He casually asked if I own a blog to which I responded by saying I do but is still in the midst of contemplating whether I should actively promote it or keep it low key as it is now...

I must say... he is a friendly guy who is quick to strike up conversations... (either that or he's used to excited strangers approaching him). He told me a story about his friend who wrote about a poll being manipulated by the "g.o.v.t"... and overnight his blog became popular. All was fine and dandy but I think I was a bit flabbergasted during the conversation... cos I dumbly said "Why?" when he told me the story about the unusual spike trend...Come to think of it... it was obvious that it was manipulated... but I had do dumbly say "Why?". Oh well... there goes his first impression of this weird auntie...

That day, I excitedly posted a tweet on how I met him in person... and surprise, surprise... he REPLIED!!!

So ya... he definitely made my day... cos' I've always admired his courage and determination to venture out on his own despite his age... (btw, he looks younger in person than in photos)... So you see... never underestimate the power of bloggers... cos' this young dude made me feel nervous and excited at the same time... just like the feeling of meeting A.v.r.i.l L.a.v.i.g.n.e, G.w.e.n S.t.e.f.a.n.i, S.e.a.n K.i.n.g.s.t.o.n etc etc in person... weird but true... :-)
