Marriage Convention
The weekend passed in a flash again.
Caught up with my reading in between drifting off to sleep on Saturday, while Pete got mobilised to go back to camp. We met up again in the evening, and headed to the club for our weekly swim. Managed to cover only 12 laps this week, but well...it's better than nothing! We headed to Parkway Parade for a late dinner at Central after the swim, and walked around a little before heading home.
We rose and shone bright and early on Sunday morning for breakfast at Swensen's with Pete's brother and his girlfriend. We had bought tickets to attend the Marriage Convention at Suntec together. We attended an English and a Mandarin talk by 2 pairs of husband-and-wife counsellors. They gave several real-life examples, and stressed on the importance of communication, as well as the different communication styles to adopt while dealing with different personalities at the same time. Of course, gender differences were also high-lighted. We thought the talks were insightful, and humourous at some points, making them more interesting as well. Pete and I are considering some of the marriage preparation courses out there, and will most probably sign up for one before we sign on the dotted line to bind ourselves for a lifetime. Wahahaha! Not that we are not sure of each other, but we hope to better prepare ourselves for the different phases in a marriage, and how to cope with them effectively.
We ended the day with dinner at Thai Accent at Vivocity, before relaxing at Corduroy Cafe with my favourite earl grey tea with mint.
It's going to be a short entry, as I dun think I have caught up with my sleep since last week. Although it was not a very productive day at the office today, (major power trip from 10am - 5pm) it was still quite a disastrous day due to the repercussions of the power trip.
Nevertheless, I did some shopping today at Little Match Girl in Tiong Bahru Plaza! Got myself a good buy of 2 dresses of good quality and comfort for $100, and a lifetime membership, and not to mention a free bag worth $49. Woo hoo!
Alrighty, I better head for the shower, and start to prepare for bed. Hope tomorrow brings no surprises in the form of more power trips!
