How to Happy-fy Your Weekend

ONE

'Magick' your husband to walk into baby shops and buy cute apparel for your unborn child. If the first shop does not produce any result, persist, and drag him into another. Helps if it has a huge "SALE up to 50%" sign. An added advantage if it employs informative employees who would mention "Only two? These are at 50% off, if you get a third piece, there's actually an additional discount of 10%". 

TWO

Happily proceed to the bookstore as you would during any other Friday night date, affirming to the hubs that you totally get his passion for Japanese comic books and that it's completely understandable that he needs to collect the new series on the very same day they arrive at the store. At the checkout counter, make a casual remark that sounds something like 'Oh, hey it's this book. Remember how I've wanted to get it for so long but I forgot to do so when we received those 1Malaysia book vouchers from the uni? Wait for next batch lah next sem. Too expensive to exchange with cash.' 

(ONE + TWO = 4)

Ta-daaaaah!

THREE

On Saturday morning, wake dear husband up and pester him for a breakfast of roti canai Melayu. Then  mention that it would be nice to make a quick detour to the neighbourhood Jusco to get a small toaster oven for your mother for her birthday ( I really don't know why she needs a new one with a temperature dial when the one at home works just fine, and she has 3 other big ovens that have all sorts of dials. But now you understand why I have a similar habit of having more than one unit/version of the same item). It's sometimes good to bring your young and naive sister-in-law along on your outings, because she may spot the unlikeliest of things, for example, A WAFFLE TOASTER. I've been searching high and low for one for years and here it is, at only RM39 muahahahahaaaaa beli tiga! Seriously, we bought 3 units. One for our own place, one for PILs' and one for my parents'.

It's not Cuisinart, but really, who cares? TRIO Waffle Maker TWM-9016

Ask dear husband if he thinks you should still go for the run event which you registered for months ago, when you've been having muscle twitches around your abdomen for the past few days, not too mention the sudden exhaustion which you never had experienced during the second trimester. If he says he's afraid that you don't seem fit enough anymore, ask nicely if he minds sleeping on it and proceed to attend the event if you feel better in the morning. In the morning, wake him up and say let's just go - maybe we just lepak for a bit, collect the goodie bag, camwhore with the girls and leave early. He will most probably say yes, especially when he rarely says no to your ever silly requests. At the event ground, say 'maybe it's okay to do the 3km anyway. i feel fine, really. let's just walk like we planned (1 week ago)?'. He will most probably say yes, especially when he rarely says no to your ever silly requests.

FIVE

Take an afternoon nap. Like, seriously please do. Else you'll be all grumpy, garang with your SIL and probably almost sever the cat's tail for napping on your bed (what with the scorching heat weather and all).

Pre-requisite for all of the above:

GET MARRIED. Oh, I did that last year and it surely came with lotsa lovely perks besides the hubs.

Ngeh ;p
