Bridal shop. Marina Barrage. Hospital.
The day before Good Friday, I was at the bridal shop.
After 4hrs of trying 10 over gowns, I'm happy to find what I like.
I've always wanted something plain but this first gown I tried proved too 'salah'. Perhaps it's a little loose so not much of a shape here - like a piece of cloth wrapped around me aye?
I know I can't take halter but might as well give it a try. A no-no too.
This is really pretty. From the front that is. The back has this layer or folded flap that makes one's butt looks huge!
It's really an amazing feeling wearing one and you have to be or have been a bride to know what I'm talking about. Am looking forward to the day :)
Then came Good Friday (rainy) weekend where we were so persistent in making it to Marina Barage despite the rain. We were very jinxed I tell you. On our first attempt, we were at the entrance watching the rain, with the kids sleeping soundly behind. On our second attempt, the sun was kinder and stayed for half an hour or so. This is Botanical Garden all over again. It's also a sign I should stay indoor.
First attempt. Kids were happy to be out. (Of course la, can buy toys, eat whatever food they like and don't have to follow Mummy for shopping)
Jinxed weather no. 1.
Waiting for food at Han's.
2nd attempt.
Jinxed weather no. 2.
Me after clearing all the food.
Then came 17th, the (sort of) dreadful day. For my mum that is.
Indeed, it didn't start off well.
This late twenties chubby ah lian elbowed my mum in the bus, cursed her and showed her the middle finger when she was many many steps away from us on the escalator. My mum cursed her too and I kinda regret not going after her to confront her. It happened too quickly and I didn't know who was at fault but I was utterly shocked. The last I saw all these was when I was in secondary school. Amazing sight I tell you. And that face of hers... ugly is an understatement.
Anyway, I spent about 10hrs in the hospital and I'm really clumsy in taking care of her.
At least I (hand)washed and ironed the clothes this afternoon. I also heat up food for us.
It takes a lot of courage to be wheeled into the surgery room. Not that there's a choice at times but it must be the last resort I think. It's only day 2 and there's certainly pain so I hope the next 1 month will pass quickly so she can be spared the discomfort. May be a blessing in disguise since she can finally rest and let us 'take charge'. One of the toughest job/role in the world is a mother's I dare say so love all your mummies!
Going for my 2nd shower... The weather is horrible.
Lucky Mr. Grumpy is enjoying 19 degree celcius in Shanghai.
But that gungdo was at H&M and didn't know what to buy for me!
Husband I have...
