Going where the wind blows
For those of you who have been married or have been with your significant others for a long time, how are your weekends like?
For us, it’s been mostly stay home, or I work, or he goes for sitar, or I go to the gym. Hardly coupley, I feel.
Just now as I was having some ha gao alone (because I was having lunch alone because I had to work and had no kakis for lunch), I suddenly thought about the days when I used to go for dim sum with friends or even ex boyfriends. When we would have something to look forward to as the weekend approached. Not just ‘the weekend’ but actual events and actual activities.
I said to Max that we hardly do that. He says ‘we do have events what. We had housewarming yesterday with family.’ Ya, but that’s different. That’s an event, but it’s not really something that we do OUT of the house, right? Unless you count standing at the corridor saying goodbye to guests.
Things like high tea on Saturdays and korean bbq dinners on Sundays. Where did those days go?
Max says ‘we do eat out what. We eat out almost every weekend. At the restaurants near our house or at Tiong Bahru’. But to me it’s really like planning to go somewhere, and not just eating where you happen to be. Not that there is anything wrong with going where the wind blows, but sometimes I’d just like to have something to look forward to. It becomes like a whole outing by itself, you know?
Maybe I’m also to blame for our entry into boringdom cos I always don’t see the point in paying a lot of money for something that we can get at a fraction of the price at a hawker centre.
But anyway, as a start, this coming Saturday, we will go for dim sum at RedStar. If you know of anywhere that’s interesting, and hopefully not too expensive, please leave a comment ok?
Oh and if anyone is interested, there’s a shop called Wine Wise near our house and it’s a pretty neat after dinner place to have good and not expensive wine.

Well, with Meraj’s crazy lifestyle and my feeling brain dead after 6pm, it’s mostly home for us on weekdays, I’m afraid. But Saturdays are reserved for “dates”. ie. mornings, he goes for soccer and I do my girly thing and we’ll meet somewhere for a date ie. movie and lunch. Or long tea session or a new dinner place. Sundays are family time mostly. I love having long tea sessions at Forsters at Holland V. At $9.50 per head for 2 huge scones, a cut of cake, 2 open faced sandwiches and a pot of tea, it’s a real bargain!

I know what you mean. The weekends seem to fly past very fast. You could visit a museum. There are a few places that have free exhibits. There is one at the colourful building (ministry of information and the arts??)…opposite Daimaru now. Got some Batman pictures..like pop art I think. I wanna go but dunno whether Sunday open annot. You should take the I.S. mag, always got interesting things to do. And places to eat.
