I think I have the flu!!At first, I thought that it was just the badminton that's giving me all these aches... but later in the day amidst the sweltering heat, I was feeling cold & soon realised that it wasn't just muscle aches; my joints were creaking & even breathing was a workout!!
I had to clean the toilet & sweep the bathroom floor, but I think Kris was complaining I hadn't swept the back of the toilet clean enough cos he can still see hair behind the cistern!! BAH HUMBUG!! Can't he see I'm suffering here?! Oh mommy!!
And I still had to cook, even though I'm the sick one... suddenly I feel like a teochew porridge!! Plain watery rice porridge with some preserved vege & nuts & eggs... ooohhh yeah... I'll add some of those to my groceries list for next week!! I want some of them teochew porridge!!! ~mind starts wandering to Da Wan Choke in Sgp~ yummmmzzzz....
Oh, I had to cook, not only cos I'm the girl who doesn't work & yet is being fed by the fiancee, and also not cos Kris bought me a car for Valentine's Day, but mainly cos he spent the entire day today ripping off the backseat of that car, cutting & sawing & filing off the metal bits & cardboard so that he can fit in his red Sony Xplode stereos at the back. You see, the car stereos suck... and only the front passenger seat stereo works...
Anyhow, he also pulled off the ugly 3rd brakelights cos the previous owners taped it with ordinary yucky sticky tape!! And Kris re-wired everything proper & bought proper tape & it's now all nice & proper...
And seeing that he's fitted the backseat into the car, I foresee he'll be ripping off the front panels soon... not that it's not working, but he needs to enhance the car a bit more... he needs to put in new lights cos the speedo is only lit on the lower kmph & not beyond 110. And u can't see the lightstrip when it's on Drive gear.
Then there's the driverside stereo that he's bugged about - he'll wanna change & upgrade that one too... And oh, we've already bought a $169 Panasonic CD-player/radio - it was originally $279, but it was Manager's Pick that week, so the price was slashed tremendously. The price had been returned to $279 the last time we say it!!! Anyway, I wanted a 12CD changer, but he doesn't... so... ~shrugz~ well, he's paying for it and I can't afford $699!!!
See, my car has a double slot for radio/CD/Cassette player... but we only bought the single slot one... I dunno wat else I may put on there, but I'll need to get a mobile holder & a car-kit soon. But mine is a flip-phone, so maybe the holder is out of the question... But I'll figure out what I want installed in that extra slot!!
And I think this weekend he'll definitely take me to Kmart to get the gecko seat cover that he liked... He said NO GIRLY ones... and I joked we're gonna get the Hello Kitty ones we saw sold next to the gecko ones!! harharhahr... He likes the real sheepskin ones, but just for one seat, it'll cost him $69, whereas the gecko ones is about $39 a pair... and hopefully they also have the backseat covers as well... So, there's still a lot of things to buy & do on the car, but we'll get there... It's nothing major, so we won't be seeing it worked on anymore after maybe these 2 weeks? I'm hopeful!! Cos I wanna drive it!!
Oh, did I mention he'd also washed the car yesterday and waxed the exterior & polished the interior today? It's sparkling!! And u know, when u hear the vacuum cleaner going, means he's done with the car... and it's good for me to drive!! So, u see, I just HAD to cook tonite... ~sigh~
ok... this room is spinning... I need to sleep it off!!
