Calm after the Storm

K and I are fine now, after we had a long talk over our Macdonald's dinner the day after my breakdown.

K came home from work around 3pm on Saturday, his last day at the vineyards. We were still not talking at that time, although he already apologized for not committing time to talk to the baby. Anyway, we sort of bummed around at the motel before heading out for dinner. I was craving for filet-o-fish and fries so we headed over to Mac's. During dinner, we talked about the reason why we broke down, me needing attention and reassurance from him that there is a baby inside my tummy. And me wanting a baby's room and all. We had a long talk about how we will need to plan our finances, and make sacrifices if we want all these good stuff for our baby. If we were to give up renting one room, the lost rental income would mean that we have to sacrifice certain luxuries in our lives, like going for lesser vacations, maybe even selling the car. Anyway, we both agreed that we don't need a study room, so we will move all the study room furniture and convert the room into our baby's room. That way, we can still rent out the other spare room.

Yesterday, for the first time, we played 4 complete rounds of Mahjong with Ah Ming and A. I was the overall winner.. Think this baby is bringing me the luck.. haha.. 2nd time i won already. = ) Then for dinner, Ah Ming cooked. Actually, he wanted to go for this seafood buffet in Napier, but both me and A didn't feel like going out, so in the end, he cooked. We had steamed rice with stir fry sambal baby cabbages with fish ball and carrots, grilled fish, fried luncheon meat with potatoes and carrots, and baked beans with egg. No soup though, but nothing beats a home cooked dinner! = )

Just before i slept, i spoke to my family, who had all gathered at my sis's place for Shi Ting's 2nd birthday party. I spoke to the birthday girl and my older niece, i miss them so much!!


This morning, K woke up and made breakfast: Pancakes, eggs and sausages with chicken nuggets and hash browns.. = )


We stayed in the motel for most of the day since it was raining, and also because we still had 4 DVDs to finish watching before we need to return it before 6pm today. In the evening, we returned the DVDs, borrowed 6 more, and drove to Napier for dinner. We had Spanish for dinner tonight. 3 Tapas, one soup and one salad. It was a nice dinner, just the 2 of us, quite romantic setting and very good service by the waiter. Plus, we talked quite a lot, about the baby, about more money making business ideas and about us. = )

Tomorrow we will be going to drive 2 hours to Taupo.. To see the famous Lake Taupo, which is supposedly 3 times bigger than the whole of Singapore, and maybe go to a hot spa! Woo hoo!

    wah lau, poor Ah Ming doesn't get a break...

    If you are ever upset one day over the fact that K and you don't talk enough, you must remember that both of you probably talk more than most couples! Appreciate the hubby sometimes!
