Fat Weekend

Spent the weekend at home.
Terence is off to Bangkok till tomorrow.

Still, it took me until Saturday nite to make my way home. Parents' home, that is.
Cos i was nursing a headache on Friday...and slept alone in my big empty bed.
Woke up feeling kinda weird.
The house, without my baby, is really not the same.
Everything smells of him, yet he's not there. Miserable.

Talked on the phone with Shanmei till we both were pretty deadbeat at 4am.
Woke up late on Saturday and met Marcus + Joe for lunch at HV.
Went sourcing for baking stuff (??!!) with Marcus, who, believe it or not, is a whizz with cakes!
He was so sweet to bring along 3 pretty choco cupcakes he made for us.
Honestly, I was sceptical at first. I mean, a grown guy that bakes?

But oh man, his cupcakes are really awesome!
He kept telling us he worries it's too dry...
but i think he's just calling our bluff. It was near-perfect!
Moist-y moist, and yummyz!
I dunno if its the best i've eaten, but it's definitely better than a lot I've tried.

Then we went around Chip Bee looking at cooking schs and bakery shops.
All pretty pretty stuff that ain't cheap.
I love meeting these guys. They are so themselves.
Of course, wat we do are kinda different these days.
We used to go cycling, kayaking, running on weekends or long breaks.
Now they can hardly believe their tomboy fren is pregnant!
5 months!
Marcus took half an hour to register that fact.
Anyway, i'm sure they will be my workout buddies again after the baby is born.
Except for Marcus, the rest are mighty fighting fit!

And we have a new term - "happy stick"!
They very kindly admitted that yes, i'd put on weight.
And looked "healthier". Can't stand all these euphenisms!
The conversation went smthg like that...

Them: Anyway you were too thin in the past la. Your arms were like that (exaggerated gesture).
Me: Not at all! That was just nice. And anyway, i'm much happier then. Size matters ok, you don't understand one la. Now I'm so fat its depressing.
Marcus: Haha, so you were happier being a stick!
Joe: So you were a Happy Stick! hahhaha........
Marcus: Yea yea, Happy Stick. That's you!

Goofballs.

After we split, i went to Terence's shop cos I bought some desserts for his mum.
They were very sweet to call me everyday since Terence flew off, making sure I'm fine, eating well, safe etc etc.
So i thought I'll pop by and get them some sweets.
Then had coffee with my sis-in-law at Coffee Bean.

By the time i reached home, it was about 7pm.
Lazed about the whole time after dinner. Was quite bored, honestly.
Watched a disappointing Man Utd. game with my brother till 2am.
That was nice. Haven't watched soccer with him for eons.
Surprisingly, he wasn't out with his (new!) gf either!

Did I also say I love his honesty?
Conversation below took place when I was lying on his bed.


Him: (suddenly turned around from the computer) OMG, wat is that? Look at your huge stomach!
Me: Pregnant wat.
Him: Oh please, only 10% of that is your baby. The rest is you!
Me: (defeated...)
Him: But look at Mummy. If you are 5 mths pregnant, she's about to pop anytime!
Me: hhaahahhahaaa

He is an idiot.
