lazy weekend came and gone

deepavali came and went. this is the last long lazy weekend for mama and papa before we have to get serious with our respective consultation papers to submit in dec.

this has also been a weekend of newsies. we both enjoyed our usual night movies at gurney on fri (this time watched pandorum starring mama's fav actor - dennis quaid), sweated out in a little plant farm in greenlane to bring back 3 pots of money plants and 1 pretty thi-chang on sat morning, spent the night in BM stuffed with delicious jackfruits from tukun foothill, seafood at the tambun floating restaurant with almost everyone that mama cared to spend time with, and a supper of nonya kuih and pek-kong-cheng's famous midnight wan-than-mee, then went back to pek-kong-cheng with the same gang + seku-kong and family the next morning for breakfast with garfield eyes but working stomachs (and so memorable times at the old quaint square), came back to the island before lunch and crashed on the couch until time to chill out at ferringhi's sunset bistro for dinner (supposedly keh-mak and fam to join but she'd to continue chewing her excel macros haha!) and late night grocery shopping at QMall JJ where papa actually bought a discounted roasted whole chicken (rm4! vs mama think rm13 if coming from ayamas) for supper (again!), then back up and out again before 7.30am today for a hike up to no 5 from youth park with keh mak and keh pa AND liz and helen (!!). very pretty trail, somewhere mama and papa will surely go back. much nearer and definitely so much less effort to go get a stunning view of tj tokong. needless to say after a heavy gurney white bah-kut-teh brunch with them, papa and mama came back and crashed on the couch again until dinner time hahah!! went to jetty's hai nan for dinner with nai-nai and kong-kong... and now... chilling out with hitz fm on the home theater, clearing emails for tomorrow work and pretending to clean up the past 3 trips' photos (but ended up mumbling here again) :)
