Another wonderful weekend...

not counting my poor stamina in the IPPT, the weekend was pretty fun. Sat we had lunch @ Aston's grill (which is always good and economical) and went to see Comet. I think we stayed there for a good 1 hr or so playing with Comet and his brother "Naughti". Took loads of pictures (which you can view in my facebook) and generally tried bonding with the little one. After which we went Light shopping. Man, Balestier Road is THE place to look for lights. So many to choose from and look at. But buyer beware. Wifey bought a MR P. Lamp for about sgd$30+ (though the pedigree is questionable as the box notes it as Mr Shy.... go figure) and we saw an identical piece at this other BIG light shop that sold it for almost sgd$100! But still we saw a lot of lights and bought a mini-lightbulb as a desktop lamp. We will definitely go back again this coming weekend to buy our bedroom ceiling lights...
Sat evening we decided to make a little trip down to Union square to get our dancing legs (and my stamina) back again. It was surprisingly empty (though people there told us its been like this a while) for a saturday evening but still managed to meet a few good friends there. Now that I am married, I find that I can be contented just sitting at the sidelines observing the dancers and still have a good time.
A good fren asked how did i get hooked up with wifey and i just mentioned the usual stuff: asking her out, dinner, meals, movie, that sort of thing. I guess i got really intrigued when i saw her dancing at USQ. She always seemed to be enjoying herself, laughing, being amused and generally having a good time (just like me!) that its wonderful to just watch her dance. Her idea of dancing is pretty much same as me in that we just want to have a good time and would like our dancing partner to chill out, relax and enjoy themselves too. I never got how people can look so strict or intense when dancing is supposed to be enjoyable. So i tend to smile, laugh, have fun.. though some people mentioned that my smiling freaked them out a little as they were wondering what's wrong or what's so funny... *GRIN* In anycase, yea its a combination of her at USQ and her blog that gave me a glimpse into how wifey is like and why she is so different and of cos, made her so wonderful in my eyes....

Sunday was mahjong with the in-laws and a birthday celebration for grandma-in-law as it was her 92nd birthday. Lotsa kids running around and doing what they produce best ~ Noise. :p
