Goodies from ashore.

The recent business trip seen hub buying back a whole load of stuffs for us, which is very different from the past trips. He went to Sydney and I suppose, delighted with the change of scenery from the normal SEA countries he'd been to that spurred him on a shopping frenzy.

When he unload everything onto our big round dining table, he said "most of the stuffs are for you". I was excited like a little child, smiling with glee. And so I checked out each one of them. If you knew him by now, you would know how he exaggerates. Guess I wasn't surprised to find, like, 10% of the things there is for me. Chiu! He defended saying the bulk of the expenses were for the things he bought for me. yeah yeah yeah...

Knowing I use SKII masks, which we bought 10 pieces in CP flight the last time we flew to Taiwan, he bought another 20 pieces for me from Changi airport. Woot! I can totally savor every piece of it slowly. Another item is the cleanser and a lip gloss. My eyes opened up, as I really think it's the first time he got me a lip gloss. Elizabeth Arden, dunplayplay.

Apparently, there was this promotion where 40 bucks voucher would be given to every 400 bucks spent. So the story goes that he ajak the man beside him at the counter to combine receipts to grab that voucher and that man agreed. But after combining it was still 10 bucks short, so he quickly go and grab the cheapest item he sees and pay for it. The man was in a hurry and in the end, just go "wtf" in the head and gave him his receipt. My hub was of course a happy man, and ended up buying that cleanser with that voucher.

I opened the lip gloss and wtf, it was bright pink! I told him, he can asks the beautician to put that color on my lips when I became a corpse. Sigh! Dunno laugh or cry, really.

But glad he's home, somehow. It was a quiet and unusually uncomfortable weekend without him around indeed.
