~~The effect of blood test~~

~~The Next Move~~

Went for medical check up on Wed that is subsidized by SP. Its just a general check up whereby they will take your urine, stools, blood for test and gives you the results like weeks later.

Hubby was stuck at the blood pressure testing because his arm was too big for the cuff. Every time it expands, the Velcro snapped open and he needed to re-take it 3 times.. I was laughing at him and proceed on to the next station - blood drawing.

I was stuck at there: I went to this nurse and she told me to go to a phlebotomist because she could not find my veins on both hands.

The phlebotomist then did the same thing, tied both arms but could not feel anything, so I told her that previously, my blood was taken from my wrist area. After "feeling" for my veins, she then poke the needle in, no blood, she poked it deeper, still no blood. She then pull it in and out 3 times and STILL NO BLOOD!!! That was really painful lo!

Then she said that my knuckles have a very distinct vein, so she poked the needle in there, promising that it wont be as deep as my wrist. She poked the needle and ALSO NO BLOOD!!! I almost wanted to faint because I knew it needs to be poked deeper to have blood and I was already unconsciously squeezing the stress ball, that was given to me earlier, really hard.

After a deeper push, FINALLY got blood la!! I feel so relieved and she felt so happy. Actually, its not her fault la, she's not the first that couldn't find my veins..

Here is my poor "poked" hands and now there are 2 huge blue blacks.. -_-""

Thursday night, we went for another house-viewing and headed down to Holland Village for dinner at this restaurant: Original Sin


The ang mo in the picture is supposed to look quite good but too bad, the his face was cut off. Ha!

The most expensive mineral water ever. $12 per bottle -_-"

OK, no food pictures, couldn't be bother to take the picture. I didn't realised that the restaurant only served vegetarian food until we ordered and eaten like almost half. Ha..

The food was not bad, Ambiance was good. A good place to go with your love ones.

*************************************************************************************

Saturday was quite a fruitful day. Hee..

Went out with the usual gang to Singtel at Comcentre and I found this:

IPhone cover!!

Please buy and support ya? The colour in the picture is abit off as compared to real life. Its more to the maroon purplish rather then brownish red like in the picture.

*******************************

And, the happiest part was that Hubby and I found our LOVE NEST!! Thanks to his agent friend: Alvin Kee (more to comment about him later below)

Its in between Commonwealth and Bouna Vista MRT, 5 mins to Holland Village.

Here's the picture I took yesterday:

This is the master bedroom

The 2nd room
The kitchen

If everything is in place in time, we would be able to move in in August/ September! Cant wait =)

We really need to thank Alvin for his hard work and not charging us any commission! He guided us step by step on what to do and even took initiatives like preparing the documents needed after he knows that we wanted the place.

He told us prepare the cheque for deposit to show sincerity that we are really interested in the place. Other buyers already offered 25k or 28k but were not closed. He asked the seller's agent if he can close at 30k. The agent said if its 30k, there's 80% chance, if 32k, there's 90%.

Knowing that we were already prepared to pay 30k, Alvin prepared the documents and gave the cheque to the agent. As the owner wasn't there, the agent would need some time.

So we left not knowing if we are able to get the place. We went over to meet the gang at Tanglin Mall and then Alvin called. He told Hubby that there is a good news and a bad news:

The bad news is that I wrote the name on the cheque wrongly -_-"

The good news is that the owner agreed to let go at COV of 30k =)

Next step: the bank loan....since our Housing Loan Eligibility got rejected.

~~Saturday~~

Hubby made prata for breakfast for me and his family and he FORCED me to take pictures of his effort..so entertain him la hor... here goes...

NTUC prata without onions!
I like it chao tar...
Prata with egg, mango and Japanese mayo..
My original recipe: Prata, egg, sausage and cheese..


We went house viewing in the afternoon at Holland Close and went over to Holland Village for lunch

Went to this ramen shop: Yoshimaru Ramen Shop
(Think my phone's camera is abit the blurry.. not focused.)



Extra bowls just in case of emergency?


Oh! This is an interesting part. Each of us would get a bowl of sesame seed and we are suppose to grind it (Coarse or fine, up to you), and put it in your bowl of noodles

Here is hubby grinding his bowl of sesame
Tan Tan ramen..
The soup is fantastic! very peanut-ty.. add the ground sesame and it will taste better..

Hubby's Toasted Garlic Ramen..

Just a piece of advise: eat it ONLY if you are not meeting important people like your gf/bf, clients etc because your mouth will stink!

Hub loves the egg..because the texture somehow taste different from normal hard boiled egg
Prawn gyoza..

We walked around after lunch and decided to settle for a break at my FAVOURITE bakery:
Provence (yes, the central kitchen is at KA FoodLink)



Lots of choices..
You can see its quite empty because the breads are so good that they are always out-of-stock!

Hub's cappuccino
My Iced- coffee that's SUPER bitter and STRONG.. Its the sweetener he's holding but I needed 3 of that small little syrup and its still bitter. I gave up.
Looks like Iced Milo in the picture
My favourite Scones and hub's Cinnamon Bun.

We wanted to buy some scones home but a woman came in and took the WHOLE BAG away.

Haiz.. Bought the plain scones in the end..

~~New Found Favourite~~

Besides the Julie chocolate Wafers (CNY must have), this time I've found something even better:


Chocolate! My favourite...



Also comes in Vanilla, Cappuccino plus many more, but in SG, think these are the only 3.

Now having OFFER @ Cheers!! Maybe NTUC too because its the same ma..

Bought 3 for $3.95! Cheap hor..

oh, by the way, i found a cute blogger that loves this wafer. You can tell by looking at her web address:

~~New Toys~~

Hubby got an IPhone for me..plus I got a FUCHSIA cover for myself. Somewhat similar..

I eyed this FUCHSIA casing before I even bought the phone..hehehe..

Went to Harvey Norman Warehouse Sale at EMC, Joo Koon and bought myself an ASUS UL20A lappie..Its a Notebook in a Netbook size!

I've got it for $898 for 2 years warranty from ASUS plus another 2 years from Harvey Norman. They added a Targus backpack (which hubby SNATCHED it from me), an extra mouse (the laptop itself already comes with a mouse) plus an Imation DVD writer - Good Deal huh!

I kinda support Extended Warranty because usually laptop can last the number of years manufacturers give, but after that, things might go wrong (BAD EXPERIENCE WITH MY STUPID VAIO!!! but I bought Extended Warranty too)

Silver is the only colour, planning to GMask it but wondering if I should spend the money...but anyway, How can I not beautify internally???
No *BLINGS* la, only my wall paper. Its Stitch with Hubby's favourite ducklings..LOL..

Am watching The Proposal now. Quite nice and sweet..
I like Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds is sooo cute la!
And Hubby LOVES the dog.. Whatever..


Next show would be: My Sister's Keeper
and Hubby couldn't find the DVD we rented..Anti- climax lo! DUHZ

Loving my Hubby lots and lots!!!! Muacks! =)
