Sore Feet

I have been starting my mornings with two soft boiled eggs and a slice of sourdough rye. The problem with the soft boiled egg is that it takes freaking forever to cook. I bought this plastic container from Malaysia recently, so all I do is place two free range eggs in the tub, fill it up with boiling hot water, and wait till tomorrow for the water to drip all the way down through this teeny weeny hole. End result = Ju Lee late for work.

Oh well, breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

I went to the gym after work today. I did a disappointing 5km run on the treadmill next to smelly disgusting people with bad BO.

Tomorrow Chaddy is having a VIP sale. Since moving to this house, I hardly ever make it to this VIP sale. But tomorrow.... tomorrow I plan to get myself a pair of Crocs!

*cringe*

I always told myself I was NEVER EVER going to get a pair of Crocs because it is something Posh Spice will never ever be caught dead in. Why am I comparing myself to Posh Spice? LOL I love her fashion style and I love the Victoria Beckham Spring 2010 collection. Her dresses are amazingly beautiful, stylish, classic and so feminine. I am a huge fan! Okay getting carried away now, but I plan to get a pair of Crocs because recently I have been getting sore feet from walking around in my shoes. I do a fair bit of walking - getting to the train station, to work, etc. Now I do not walk around in Louboutins or anything close to a Louboutin, instead I wear (fashionable) flats but I have no idea why my feet has been giving me grief. And I just checked it out, there is a 30% sale at the Crocs store in Chadstone tomorrow. We will see... if I succumb to buying a pair of Crocs!

I end the post with the Red Queen, "I need a pig here!!!! I love a warm pig belly for my aching feet"

Three birthdays this month

The month of May has been quite eventful for me.

We celebrated three birthdays this month.

First up was Dopey's other half, Little Miss Sweet-As-A-Lollipop. We had a really fun night out at Silk Road. I am beginning to like this place... Silk Road. It is a bit more 'out there' compared to the other hidden boutique style bars which Melbourne is famous for, but its not too bad.

Next was my BFF Little Miss Drink-A-Lot. It was the first time in many many years whereby I was able to celebrate her birthday with her in person! As Grumpy went back to Malaysia to attend his mate's wedding without his wife... I booked myself a ticket to Sydney for the weekend! Hell yeah! Sydney is a beautiful city with amazing weather.

Of course my BFF has a theme to her party - Big Wig Out. Thankfully, Little Miss Whats-For-Lunch brought me to a wig shop near Victoria Market and I was able to score a purple bob for 20 smackeroos.

We had such a good laugh at everyone's wigs. I was so impressed by her group of friends, everyone donned a wig (boys and girls), even to dinner, and it was so much fun! After dinner, we went to the Ivy and I can't say enough how much I like that place.

Finally, we celebrated Grumpy's birthday last weekend. I got him a beautiful BV leather wallet as a birthday present, and I baked him a Red Velvet Cheesecake. It was my first attempt at this and it turned out well. Will share recipe soon.

As the month of May comes to an end , we approach winter, hopefully I will stay home a bit more (less damage to my bank account), snuggle up with my stinkypoo and watch my 30 Rock DVDs. 30 Rock is our current favourite show, it is absolutely hilarious. Grumpy never really likes the shows that I like, and vice versa, however this is a winner!

Dieu Merci C'est Vendredi

Many people have asked me, how is married life?

Well, married life has been pretty good so far, yet it still feels hectic. We are now catching up with work, sleep, friends, life, etc.

Our old car was written off due to the hail storm. We finally got a new car, and I love it! However, at the end of the day, it is JUST a car that takes me from Point A (Home) to Point B (Gym) and occasionally to Point C (Chadstone shopping centre). It is more than enough for me!

Last Sunday, I left my iPhone in a shopping basket at Coles. By the time I went back to Coles, the staff told me no one has found any iPhones, and when I tried ringing my own mobile number, it was already switched off! WTF

I am so annoyed... it is so careless of me, I practically gave the iPhone away!

I have a new iPhone now, but I am more than $500 poorer because I had to pay out my old 11 month contract.

Anyway, back to married life, things have not changed drastically, which is good but I am now getting better at referring to Grumpy as my 'husband' instead of my 'boyfriend'. Twelve years of saying 'boyfriend'... you got to give me some time to adjust to Grumpy's new title. And no, I still select 'Ms' instead of 'Mrs' when it comes to salutations. 'Mrs' just sounds old. Period. LOL

I had to explain many times to people at work that I do not need to change my surname.. WHY?! Because.... Grumpy and I share the same surname....

*raised eyebrows*

No he is not my cousin....

*raised eyebrows*

And No, I definitely will not hyphenate both our surnames and call myself Ju Lee Ng-Ng.

Jesus!

Good night everyone. Dieu merci c'est Vendredi tomorrow!
