A short long weekend

Sadly the long weekend is over here.  There is no public holiday for Easter Monday and of course there is no Anzac Day.  

There is still remembrance and reflection happening though.  Both my grandfathers fought in WWII and both came back broken men.  Hard not to really when you try and imagine what they must have experienced.  Both passed away when I was of a young age but that does not stop me from reflecting on the sacrifices they made for themselves, for their families and for their fellow countrymen.

Now on to the weekend just been.  Our plans to meet up with friends at the beach fell through due to illness (theirs not ours) so we found ourselves faced with a weekend of NOTHING!

Bliss

So we ate a few of these...

Drank a "couple" of these...

Did a bit of this...

And nibbled on some of these...

Happy Easter!

Friday Drool

How far would you go for the perfect pair of swimmers?

Search every swimwear shop in town?

Scavenge through every conceivable online retailer?

Get your mother to check out the stores around her locally?

Yes, we are talking about me but when you see these pretties, you will understand why.

All the above options came up with nada in my size.

Until...

The mother called and said there was a brand new pair on eBay.

The Seafolly Plume maillot retails for around $SGD 190 and I won them for FAR less.

They're currently on their way over to my hot little hands and I am eagerly checking the mailbox every day.

Bridesmaids

Most of us have been there, either as a bridesmaid or having been the bride so I'm sure we can relate to this new movie coming out soon.

I literally laughed out loud at the end scene.

I will definitely be seeing this movie when it's out :)

Whoa!

The beautiful January Jones graces the cover of W this month and wow, just wow!

Heaven Help Me

The little dude is teething.  Not one, not two, no, not three but FOUR freaking teeth!  All at the same time.

He's a bag of misery.  Sleeping little, whinging and crying lots and refusing to eat.  Oh and also doing the most foulest poops ever!

I'm feeling a little Britney but just keep reminding myself that I sure as hell would be feeling exactly the same if I had four teeth trying to escape from my gums.

I'm here, I'm HERE!

Wow, has it really been over a month that I've been MIA... again.  Things have been totally crazy town in the land of BuBbles during the month of February.

Perhaps I should do a little synopsis of what's been going down:

• My birthday - yay for 34! (not)

• My parents came to visit
• Holiday at Kota Kinabalu (click here to find out where the heck KK is)
• Got up close & personal with orang-utans

• Mega sightseeing in Singapore (Marina Bay Sands SkyPark; bum boat tour of Singapore River; shopping at Bugis Street etc)
• An absolutely divine couples body scrub and massage - heaven on a stick!
• Breakfast with the animals at Singapore Zoo
• Returned to Brisbane for 2 weeks with BuBba, when my parents flew back home
• Met my lovely best friend's gorgeous, gorgeous twins

• Took complete advantage of the free babysitting (thanks Mum & Dad) and had quite a few nights out sans child
• Caught up with many old friends when back in my hometown
• Drank far too much alcohol and ate far too much food and am now paying for it with a few extra kilos.

So that's just "some" of what I've been up to while I've been away from the blog.  Living it up and enjoying one hell of a fabulous February.

I'm hoping to write in more detail about the places I've visited and share some of the photos that I've taken in the near future so stick around!

Point + Shoot

It's been non-stop raining since Saturday and the rain continues to pour today.  I'm feeling a little stir crazy, as I'm sure BuBba is too but I just can't face dragging myself out in this weather.

Luckily, Daddy BuBbles dragged me out on Saturday night for our first date night since hitting Singapore shores.  The babysitter was arranged (but cost an absolute bloody fortune) and off we tottered for dinner and drinks at 1-Altitude.  The weather hampered our plans for drinks and dinner with a view but it was an absolute pleasure to be out sans child.  (That sounds so wrong but I'm sure you know what I'm getting at.) 

We followed up with some after-dinner drinks at New Asia Bar on level 71 of the Swissotel.  Again there were no views to be had so instead we played silly buggers under the changing lights.  

Hey, you have to make your own fun, right?
