My memory has been remotely better. For the sake of posterity, I will try to recall the events of the past week.

Sunday: Hubby and I had a date night. First we had a rushed dinner at Macs and reminisced how as poor students we used to eat there (actually we didn't!). Then we watched Cloverfield - a cool monster movie (coolest monster I've seen so far on land) if not for the shaky cam, which I do realise is part of its premise. But still, excluding nauseous movie-goers will mean a slice off the takings.

Then we went to a post-movie ice cream date thing at Serene Centre and it turned out to be sweet and fun, and it wasn't just about the yummy alcoholic chocolate ice cream. We actually laughed a lot about the movie and how nauseous it made us.

We rushed back to my Mom's to pick up Jack who didn't miss us at all. He was happily playing with his grandparents! But I missed him heaps and smothered him with kisses.

Monday: Hmm... can't remember.

Tuesday: Spent day with my godparents who adore Jack. We had pizza at Modestos and then brought Jack to their place to hang with my grandma. We had some German wholesomething crackers and watched the news. Jack was most intrigued and a little scared of their little pet.

Dinner time we painted Vivocity red. After a yum sushi dinner he pointed to Toys R Us and I used up my $10 voucher on a tiny black Porsche and a car park set. I asked him to choose one and he kept choosing the car. I still needed to use up the other $5.05 so I bought the car park too. At home, we broke it out and he loves it.

Wednesday: Hmm... can't remember.

Thursday: Went to my friend Andrew's clinic to get my wisdom tooth pulled out. He yanked at it for a good 10 minutes and pop it was out. Relatively painless unless you get heroic and neglect to take your painkillers on time.

I rested at my parents' after the tooth removal and only got home after dinner. The painkillers were home but I thought I was doing okay with it till suddenly the jabs wore off and I found myself howling in pain for an hour while waiting for the painkillers to kick in.

All in all it was a humourous time. We took some funny videos and Jack played with his cars. Finally it kicked in and it was like the epidural. Blessed relief. Although I benchmark my pain on the 28 hour labour I went through, pain is still pain. And with an active, curious, and highly parroty gonnabe-2 year old, it is best to be in comfort and smiling when caring for.

Forgot to put tooth under pillow. Damn. Fairy's gone now.

Friday: Hmm... can't remember.

Hahaha. Naw, this one I remember. It was my girl's night out and a very special celebration for Van's hen's (okay, so I missed the naked guy show later on at some club) and Kit's 37th (even though that girl looks not a day older than 25) at Sun Moon in Central.

Frankly, Sun Moon's strength is in its miscellaneous lunch sets. Dinner was boring and ordinary. I wouldn't go back for dinner but still will go for their tea where they serve that scrumptious green tea dessert with everything in it.

Saturday: Day home with Jack. We played for an hour in each room and while he was napping I quickly finished my novel The Ferryman by Christopher Golden which was engaging but reverting to type at the end. Not for keeps for sure.

Hit town with hubby to stock up on books. Carried Jack in new homemade stylish 100% cotton black cloth carrier (cloth from market $6 - if it creases it is 100% cotton sez seller and my Mom later verified this) made a la Shen. Never mind the sewing. Just cut and tear the cloth half (1/2m) width-wise and 6m length-wise. Practice using these instructions and voila, you got your own nice sling.

Of course baby will look like Leeloo from The Fifth Element but a mini-Leeloo. At least Jack did, being carried by me from the back. Looked pretty shiny when I wore it to town today but when he was removed, I looked like a weird fashion school reject with the cloth hanging around me which I was too lazy to remove. Ah heck, it was just the usual Borders crowd.

Speaking of which, we tried the new Japanese eatery at Far East Plaza. Dunno the name but it is next to Subway and KFC. Not bad at all but the floors are rather dirty. Will go back if under duress or having to choose between its brethren.

Almost used up the Gift Card dear sweet Jeff bought me for Christmas. It was 7 books in total: 2 astronomy/astrobiology books, 1 Earth-is-gonna-die book, 1 Robin Cook book, 2 sea monster eats people novels, and Sylvia Plath's Ariel - the one with the poems laid out the way she wanted them.

And tomorrow is another day. :)
