1. Hubby waking me up with a HUGE smile on his face as it was SO late already and we were supposed to go grocery shopping first before going to my in-laws. Since mother-in-law's left ankle's still on cast, she needs us to go grocery shopping for them. I LOVE the fact that hubby doesn't mind my being a HUGE sleepyhead HE HE HE HE HE...LOVE HIM LOVE HIM LOVE HIMMMMM TREMENDOUSLY!!!
2. My rashes are almost GONE HUE HE HE HE HE...YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!! ;-D
3. Finding some frozen egg rolls on a discount (2 packs for €3) and hubby bought them for me. I was going to pay him, but he didn't want to take cash HA HA HA HA...YEEESS!!! I saved some money yet I still get what I want. YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY!!!!
Note: here there are no Asian stores, so no stores selling egg rolls wrappers...if there are stores selling them, I'd make them myself since I know it'd be cheaper that way he he...
4. I got an even total score with hubby during our card game (we played cards again with my mother-in-law). That meant we were two big losers HA HA HA HA HA HA...At least I didn't have to be ONE big loser, right? *wink*
5. Some romantic moments with hubby HI HI HI HI HI HI HI...I can't write them down here, though HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...
6. I brought some soto ayam for my in-laws to try. *crossing my fingers* I SURE HOPE they like it and they don't find it too spicy he he he he...
7. Pink clouds. I've seen pink clouds several time over here...so the sky is mostly covered with greyish clouds, yet there are some covered with pink clouds...odd, interesting, quirky, unbelievable! Never seen anything like that before in Indo!!!
8. Feeling LUCKY and BLESSED! ;-D WOOHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
1. We shared a sour mango (half ripe). It was VERY tasty, though. Sour and fresh! And I found them on a discount the other day. It was usually over €2 per kilo, but I found them at only €0.99 per kilo. YAAAAAAAAAAAYYY!!!
2. Soto ayam that was delicious. My first try and yet it was FABULOUS!!!
3. Looking at my hubby's face when he tried the soto ayam. Apparently he had NEVER tried anything like that before. It was HILARIOUS HE HE HE HE...It looked as though he was in pain or tortured or something ha ha ha...
4. Hubby thanking me for having peeled and served the mango.
5. Finding tank tops and a birthday gift on a 50% discount. YAAAAAAAAAAYYY!!! ;-D
Earlier today I went to the supermarket to buy some spices 'coz I was craving for some kind of Indonesian food called "Soto Ayam" (ayam = chicken). I knew that it was probably impossible for me to cook it EXACTLY like the recipe I found online since I wouldn't be able to find all the necessary ingredients or spices, but I thought as long as I could produce a similar taste, I'd be happy.
First of all I went to a store since they had discounts. I needed tank tops for housewear and found two at a 50% discount. I also needed to buy a birthday gift for Pirita's mother who's going to throw her 40th birthday party on Friday, January 4th. I was at first thinking of buying her a package of lotion, body scrub, and stuff like that, but they proved to be expensive. If I chose a cheaper package, then the tubes would be SO TINY ha ha ha ha...
In the end I decided to buy her a warm shawl which was on a 50% discount. I was torn between choosing a dark brown one and a colourful (cheerful) one. I fell in love with the colourful one, but I wasn't sure that she was the kind of woman who liked wearing too colourful dresses. And I thought that if I bought the dark brown one, it'd be easy for her to mix and match it with any colour of clothes.
Anyway, after buying all those, I went to the supermarket and while I was busy looking for the spices, I realized there was someone near me with a child and the person was waving once, but since that person didn't say a thing, I kept on browsing at the shelves. Since I don't have many people that I know here, I don't normally browse for familiar faces anywhere, you know? BIG mistake!!!
After some time, the person called my name, "Amel!" WHOOOPPSSS!!! It was Pirita's mother and Pirita!!! (For those who're new to this blog, Pirita's Dad is my hubby's best friend and cousin) And since I was SO shocked, I didn't know what to say! I just stood there like a dork that I was and smiled at Pirita. I wanted to talk to Pirita, but then all the Finnish words flew out of my mind HA HA HA HA HA...
After some awkward silent moments, Pirita's Mom asked me if Arttu was still at work and I said yes. Then she said that she went to the supermarket with her brother and wife (or was it sister and husband?). Then somebody phoned her, so she said goodbye to me and I was relieved.
I'm really NOT good at small talk and I'm much better off with someone who's talkative so I don't have to think of anything to say HE HE HE HE...Actually I was thinking to myself to say to her, "Grocery shopping, eh?" But I didn't say it since it'd be a pretty stupid thing to say. After all, it was a supermarkkkeeettttt!!!
Oh well...maybe next time I should prepare some small talk before I go anywhere. I just hope she wasn't offended by my silence he he he he he...
Almost forgot to add: I did cook "Soto Ayam" after I went home and it tasted DELICIIOOUUUUSSSSS!!!!! It brought me back to Indo for a while hi hi hi hi hi hi...However, I don't know if Arttu will like it or not. We'll see about that he he he he...
All in all, today's been a WONDERFUL day (except for my dorky moments HA HA HA...) and my rashes are almost gone. I still feel a tad itch here and there sometimes, but it's nothing much.
