HELLO HAYMAN!

I think I'm getting the hang of this housewife job... after work! I've been cooking dinner with all my heart for the past few nights, this made Rui say "can you not fatten me up anymore?!" and he looks at his tummy and says "I'm sorry, buddy, just for tonight..."

Last night's

Fried salmon with lots of garlic and onions + Brocolli


紫菜汤

And today for starters, we had a box of strawberries with chocolate dipping sauce... OMG!

Two boxes for AU$7 + Free chocolate dipping which tastes like Milo :)

Had Malaysian food for dinner last night at Jacq's. The home-made sambal was mmm mmm yummy! This is easy to get in Malaysia but not here :(

Anyway, it was really good, ten of us enjoyed it very much... all we brought was a bucket full of fish and squid crackers, note: all the way from Kelantan, so they were fried in Australia with (olive oil and) imported ingredients!!! Rui purposely bought the big container for this.

I have always liked being the passenger...

...that is why I think it is an achievement every time I drive Rui around because it's manual :P
Drove to Oxley and back today. Rui was very happy as he had time to sight see.

I rubbed my left eye and the contact lens slipped out of place, up the eyelid. Struggled looking for it, teared up, rushed to the ladies', waited for it to come back down, colleague asked whether I was okay. After a minute or two, the lens slipped to the side of my eye, folded into half. Messaged Rui about this because I had blurry vision... wished I had an eye patch then. Used right eye to work.

Left vision came back clear. Continued working. Had two pieces of wholegrain bread and a can of tuna. Received call from Rui, told him to wait as I walked out to talk, went through the kitchen, saw the director, manager and a few colleagues having lunch... Rui, on the other side of the line, said, "Faster go out and talk".

Talked louder outside of the office, saw this silver Honda civic parked in front of me, thinking that it looks like ours, scanned through the car plate, looked so familiar but can't be bothered, and still talking to Rui on the phone... SNAPPED, it was our car!!! Stunned.

Walked to him... still stunned as of why he was at my office during lunch break... and you know what? He asked how was I and handed me my glasses. MY GLASSES! He drove all the way home from work and got them during his one-hour lunch break... and he had not had lunch yet! After that, he drove back to work -___-''

Kept texting him to say "THANK YOU"... couldn't get rid of the smile on my face. I don't think anyone will do that for me. He was worried that I would have a bad day coding with a wonky eye. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. *Heart melts* Didn't mean to be so yuk ma but I just feel so grateful to have him as my soulmate, my best friend, 我的知己.

The little things you do mean so much to me.

We inspected a five-hundred-and-thirty-five-thousand-dollar house in a suburb near Rui's office. I had to wait for the 111 bus for ages in the rain in Winter (!!!) after work just to get to the bus stop near him.

The two-storey property has undergone renovations and has five good-sized bedrooms, 2 huge bathrooms (one with a spa bath tub and huge/long mirrors on the wall, the other has two showers on the left and right!), a swimming pool, a theater room and hidden laundry area... but it's 3 decades old. -__-'' It creaks when you open the window and you can even see ... bad! Sigh, I like it but it's not really worth the price.

*Sigh*

I reckon it's better than the one in Hamilton :)
... but they can never beat the authentic Thai food we have in Kelantan or Thailand.
