of hands and fish

Three years ago, we were busying ourselves with the wedding…

We’re still at it three years later and we intend to keep it this way regardless of the season…

Anyways we didn’t have time to really celebrate on the day itself. AS has to work very late now or rather he just gets back late cos camp is about 2 hours away. And it also happened that the day was thursday, and I have classes that evening. (yes… with the urusai nihongo class until my atama is itai) And then friday was a busy day too since I had to be in school, and the out for lunch. And after that it was all about friends leaving the country and bringing my mum’s cat home. It was so bad I didn’t even have time to go for a much anticipated dinner with my friends

Saturday was a no-go either. Parents are coming over to stay for a bit, since their place is under renovation, so we had to clear this extra room we have. and then we also moved some shelves over (from the same friend who left the country for good) and were busy until about 2130 when we finally sat down to eat.

So all was left was Sunday. I woke up late so AS brought the dogs to the park. And then I went for pilates. And after that I finished my shukudai and watched two movies I’ve already watched more than a year ago during my trip to my ’second home’ in France. – Babel for eye-candy obviously but the story is good ok. and Notes on a Scandal – In the evening we had to send my ILs to a wedding dinner and that’s when AS sprung a surprise.

Me: Eh so where are we eating?
AS: Dun tell u. Secret.
Me: ??!huh?!

Well it didn’t take me long to realize the ’secret’ was the Singapore Flyer. But no we didn’t go on the flyer. I don’t think I will until the construction work around’s all done. BUT we had a sumptious Japanese Dinner at Hibiki. Two new Japanese dishes for me to try. They had Kurobuta 黒豚 and charcoal noodles. So we had a Kurobuta kaminabe set and some cold charcoal noodles. Plus a beef teppanyaki set – which had onigiri with plum slices inside! I don’t really fancy pork except for the Chinese Sweet and Sour Ribs (?). But Kurobuta changed my mind. It’s terribly smooth and din’t have the pork-y smell at all. YUM. And the Charcoal noodles? I swear I can taste Charcoal. But AS said he didn’t. I can even smell it. Anyways they aren’t bad either as long as you don’t imagine eating pieces of charcoal but beautiful, sweet, gray noodles. YUM again! (I imagine the Food Detective going OIIISHIIIIII!)

Too bad I didn’t bring my camera. Because after the spread of delicious food, we made our way to the Kenko Fish Spa. These little fishes will nibble at the dead skin on your feet and lower leg. All you need to do is to dip your legs into the water and they will come. It was SO very ticklish that AS regretted not bringing a camera. But after that I felt that my calves especially were particularly smooth, I can feel them GLOWING. Anyways, I’ve got the ticklish genes from my dad and to prove it I tried very hard not to laugh during a massage later. It was only ten minutes but it was like 10 hours to me. Even the masseuse realized I felt ticklish for some reason.

We walked around after that before we picked up his parents after the wedding dinner. In a way I thought it’s a tad sad we only get to do this because we had an errand to run (i.e. sending his parents to the dinner and back) but then, i guess it’s not to bad a deal isn’t it? Everyone needs a little pampering once in awhile~
