New toy and Monday

Received a pretty un-birthday present from my hubby yesterday. We were shopping for a new hand-phone for him - because his handphone has been really misbehaving in the past year and it was becoming quite the nuisance. Ben ended up buying two android smart-phones. One for himself and one for me! I was surprised and elated. This is my very first android/smart phone ever - a Samsung Galaxy Ace. (Catching up with the technology, aren't I?) We did look at the Galaxy S2, but I decided that the price wasn't quite worth it. Ben ended up getting the Galaxy Mini for himself. To quote the hubby when asked why he got me a new phone when mine was actually still doing pretty OK (except for part of the keypad having detached itself from the phone and the corners scratched - nothing irreconcilable), "I just want to pamper you lah!" :)  Everybody say: Awwwww.......

Needless to say, I have been happily playing with my "new toy" since yesterday evening. Xie xie lao gong! :P Haha!

Today's cooking: fish in lentil and vegetable stew... served with fresh coral lettuce and wholemeal bread. Absolutely yummy. There was a tangible sweetness in the stew thanks to the corn and carrots; the well-seasoned fish completed the stew's flavor and made it so wholesomely appetizing that we were quite sorry when the last bit of stew had been mopped up with bread.

Also an update on my final set of assignments for the year and for MCs: I have been trying to get into my assignments today... and so far it has been awfully difficult. I will be definitely working late tonight. May God grant me strength and wisdom.
