A Lifetime Decision

I made a biggest lifetime decision - to start a family with Rak. 

Being together for less than a month and we actually discuss about marriage (eh, not so much) to babies, is that normal or too fast? 

Im feeling a little skeptical about the whole issue. I mean people who knows me well, knows I love kids. How adorable are they! But of course, having your own versus playing with the little ones who are not biologically yours, makes a huge difference- educations, upbringing, etc.  We have yet spoken about how to raise a child, neither of us is an expert in this department. Ive got simply no idea what is his views on raising one.

As for myself, i know what kind of mom I want to be, the kind of tolerance level towards my child's behavior... Expectations, of course.

I do spiritually feel that Rak can be a fantastic dad and perhaps he will do much better than me in the parental role. I bet if we are gonna have kids, Im gonna played the "bad, ugly... Unreasonable mom"...  Having said this, I do strongly agreed that Rak is super knowledgeable, much patience, higher tolerance nonsensical level... He cooks, he games... Whats more can I asked for?

I want a good daddy for my kid/s... Am i selfish? Haha!

To me, I just feel that he is the one who fits exactly what I want for my kid/s...  Enough enough... Haha! Im starting to sound as if im marketing him (oops! Sorry. He is definitely not for sales.)...

Back to the topic.  I am pretty excited about it, googled as much info as I can. Im really looking forward to share the special gift that belongs to us, how cool. Least to say, im fine with whichever plans we have as per discussions. But perhaps, for the time being, let us enjoy the process and the dating experience. 

Hmmm, baby...

Yummy (2)

My Rak's home-cooked dinner. I'm so blessed. :)

Nothings so comforting as this.

It seems like everyone seems to remember about "Mothers' Day" rather than "Fathers' Day".

This year, I thought that it will be a little tad special because there's another person who is joining us. Thus I postpone the dinner-date to a day later. Well, I could say it was a brilliant idea (/at the end of the day) because everything seems to go on rather smoothly in a way.

I know dad and Rak seems to like Thai Cuisine much thus I decided to have that as the menu for the evening.

It was meant to be a surprise for the both guys, however, I couldn't hold this surprise well, and I let the cat out of the bag way before dinner.

Anyway, it was fun to shop for groceries at Golden Mile Complex.





I love to see everyone ends the meal with a smile on their face. There's something which I don't really like about whipping up Thai Cuisine - The heat of the spices that somehow gives you a burning sensation on your skin if it's not handled well. I'm glad that the 2 guys enjoyed themselves with loads of KICK in it.

Mom was jealous in a way. She was asking why am I not cooking her favourite food, that's because IT'S REALLY NOT HER DAY! Okay, I'll promise a good dinner for her soon... Her birthday, perhaps? Hmmm, let me discuss this together with Rak.

Rak came over with dad's favourite - Tiramisu Cake (from Delifrance). Thanks Rak, anyway. It's really sweet and thoughtful of you to bring that.

Both of us decided to take a stroll after the hearty dinner at the nearby park without any disturbance (Read: No mobile - Yay! And I did it...)... We really enjoyed the breeze, the companion and of course... everything underneath the black-velvety carpet...

(/Ehmmm, I couldn't find the USB that connects to my computer - DSLR. So bear with it...)

And of course, we act silly, goofy, we play, we laugh, we chat... and these are really moments that is GOLD...

Of course, not forgetting that we end the night with a slice of loves and a cup of happiness.

And let me tell you, never put 2 guys who loves eating together, because then, the conversation will go non-stop. Hahaha, Anyway thanks Rak! I love to see you and dad bond but... umm! :) Lets see how things flow and goes and... Ummm!

XOXOXO

Dinner with the guys

I managed to survive thru with little rest, but I'm still quiet tired though...

As usual, I went over for my usual meditation class (Poor Rak, who is done with his exams and have to wait for me... and without any least grumble.).. and meet up with Rak.

I wanted to cook something, either Bak Ku Teh or Japanese Curry Rice for him. However, I was too tired and I really couldn't find any of the ingredients I need. :( In fact, in the morning, I am supposed to continue with the volunteery work with Sally. I was too tired, really. Anyhow, I decided to wake at 7am (Note : I slept at 3ish am which was crazy I tell you) and wait for her to reach my area... And we had KFC for brekkie. Sinful but yummy. (I seldom get to feast for brekkie these days, I need to watch my waistline for goodness sake!)

Anyhow, lets just fast forward a little bit...

To make Rak feels better and to show him a little appreciations, I decided to go out with him and 2 of the guy friends. Rak needs his friends too, to be fair. He can't always be with me and my gfs... He needs his bonding with our male friends too. I would love to be with Rak 24/7 but I can't expect him to always be there when I'm meeting with my friends, talking girly stuffs and bore him away...

So we made it to.... Toniku @ Lido, Shaw House, nice food (except that the service isn't really that good - towards the ending as the crowds flow in.)

Nothing else matters to see how Rak enjoys being with the guy friends. I'm truly blessed. :)

V-Day

I mean Volunteering Day!

This is the most tiring yet fruitfulling Saturday of my life. My gf and I volunteered in 2 charity organizations : One for the kids and another for the Elders.

Project Give - It was for the kids (with Special Needs) and their family.

And...


This is the project for the Elders - Old folk Home...

My energy was zapped yet I (/call me silly then) managed to drag my feet to meet up with the group of friends and Rak. :)

The only thing I really appreciate is, the few minutes in Dad's car - with Rak and him talk. Oh well... Tell me, it's all worth it... Good Night, all. :)

(Note : Cant you feel that I'm very tired that I'm writing less than ever?)

XOXO

From this moment

It's 2 weeks... and I'm feeling...

From This Moment - Shania Twain

Aglio Olio - (Him)

It was my first trip to his place and Rak took the initiative to clean up his room the day before. The warm crisp room greeted me with a smile...

And guess what, he cooked my favorite pasta (just the way I love it)... Aglio Olio.

Yummilicious to the max and belly satisfied. My very first home-cooked Aglio Olio by a man...

I'm touched and I am very sure that noone can replace that plate of Aglio Olio cooked by him. My comfort food.

Loves you to the max, Rak :)

(Sadly, there is not pictures because I was too excited about gobbling that whole plate of carbs with love...)
