Another marathon

We finished watching the Taiwanese drama serial recently and there was a momentary sense of loss. Nothing to look forward to at the end of a working day and over the weekend. But we moved on and decided to continue with yet another Taiwanese serial. We caught the first episode on tv and decided that we shall watch at our own pace over the internet :) Another show for us to watch together while cuddling each other in bed!

My thoughts

I went through another night without cuddling Lar Lar to sleep and another morning waking up without Lar Lar to kiss good morning. A feeling of emptiness inevitably creeps in whenever I am inside our room all by myself. Hopefully he can come home by tomorrow night and I will plant kisses after kisses after kisses on him, just like a woody wood pecker :P

Come home soon Lar Lar, I MISS YOU! 米修, 米修!!!

A big bed

It didn't quite dawn upon me how big our bed was till I slept through the whole of last night all by myself. It was the first night since we tied the knot that I was sleeping without Lar Lar by my side. He didn't run away from home, neither did we quarrel. He just had to do his part for the nation and serve the country as well as the people ie. fulfilling his reservist requirements.

Last night, although I was still feeling drowsy from my medication, I sent him back to camp. He kissed me lightly on my lips before stepping out of the car, I guess with much fear that I would pass the flu virus to him. With lingering looks, I watched him slowly dragging his feet to the guard house. I waved him goodbye before I sped off to catch my much needed beauty sleep.

Back home, I stared blankly at our big bed and jumped straight into it. I was just wondering what would Lar Lar be doing at this moment when my thoughts of him slowly fade away and I succumbed to the effects of medication. That quiet moment didn't last long as my phone rang and it was Lar Lar calling to say goodnight to me. It reminded me of our dating days when every night he would call to say goodnight to me. After the phone call, it took me only seconds to fall back into deep sleep again.

Tonight, once again, I am blogging away on my side of the bed, leaving an empty space by my side, imagining him by my side playing his PSP or iphone. I am starting to miss his presence and his noise and how he likes to irritate me and almost everything about him. Hope these few days will pass quickly and I can get to see him again. And I promise this time round, I will let him irritate me without me showing any signs of frustration :)

Our weekend of shopping

Without much surprise, I woke up with running nose on Saturday morning. That was despite sleeping early the night before. Nonetheless, I went for my facial as it was the last session and I had to finish it within the month. The facial therapist had to endure my sneezing while she was busy with my face.

After my facial, I headed back home straight, giving up the shopping opportunity in Orchard! I had to resist the temptation as I walked past boutiques like Prada and Burberry. Looking like a rudolph, I decided against stepping into any of them and hurried down to the carpark. Thinking I could rest more when I reached home, Lar Lar wanted to have lunch in Bishan and catch "Clash of the Titans". Seeing that he would seldom suggest such activities, I grabbed the opportunity and agreed without hesitation. Armed with packets of tissue paper, I braved the strong airconditioning in the mall and the movie theatre.

At Bishan, we also bought a humidifier, which was supposed to help achieve recommended humidity levels in airconditioned rooms and let one breathe well, especially after adding essential oil blends. So we bought one, together with lemon and tangerine essential oil blends. Lemon can supposedly ease cold and flu symptoms while Tangerine helps to relax your mind. On the same night, we added the lemon essential oil blend. After switching on the humidifier for one whole night, I could not really smell the lemon. Not sure if it was due to my blocked nose or I did not add enough. Hope that it can indeed help to relieve the agony of my running nose.

With the humidifier, we need to find something to place it on. So we headed to Ikea. It was a fruitful trip as we came back with a storage box to place our humidifier as well as a shelf to place our laptops and all the electrical coils that had been laying on the floor for the longest time.

Now, our room looks more complete and tidy, with the laptops placed neatly on the shelf and below our tv. Top it off with the humidifier, hopefully it can help to keep the flu virus away from me!

New bonding activity

The long weekend came and left in a flash. Nonetheless, I felt grateful to enjoy the long break without any virus as I tend to fall sick whenever weekends come. Although I had a bit of running nose on Friday night, I felt better when the next morning came. It was also a great relief as it was a good break for me to recharge from work. My work has been hectic but so far I have been enjoying most parts of it. It sets me at a faster pace and provides me with more challenging tasks but I am not complaining. At the very least, I wake up every morning looking forward to work and not having to endure the feeling of having to drag myself to work. Thank God for giving me this opportunity and the courage to move on in life. I should have placed in my faith in Him and believed that the plans that He have for me will always be the best.

My lar lar and I have also found a new activity where we can bond. We started watching this Taiwan drama serial and we couldn't help but got hooked on it to see what is going to happen to the lead actor and actress. We are still halfway through it and we are enjoying every bits of it! We will laugh and cry together over the scenes, and during lovey dovey moments, it will bring a smile to our faces as well. So for those who have not watched this, what are you waiting for?
