Romance After Baby



Hear ye! Hear ye! I am back. My event is finally over, and the weekend has arrived. I am so thankful for those who came to our party, and for my colleagues who helped me make it happen. I was very tired this week that I have decided to reward myself by having dinner with girlfriends Friday night (cannot get over the spicy Thai food and NY cheesecake from Marks and Spencer that we ate) at a friend's new pad. It was nice to chill at home for a change.

My Saturday was perfect too. Just went for a little walk in the park and did some shopping for baby at Mothercare and Toys R Us. It ended with a very good homemade dinner by dear hubby. Simple and quiet.

I feel relaxed and rejuvenated now, especially after listening to my two new CDs of Carla Bruni. I love her songs even if I don't understand a word (they're in French). They sound like lullabies, I think I should let my daughter listen to them before she sleeps. She probably understands them more than I do.



The melody of her songs remind me of the scene in one of my favorite films, Before Sunset (sequel to Before Sunrise). Julie Delpy was singing "A Waltz for a Night" to Ethan Hawke, about their one night stand.

I just realized that I am still a romantic at heart. Sometimes being too caught up with work, baby and the pains of everyday lives makes me forget. Hmm... I think hubby and I should start planning that trip to Hawaii or Paris that's long overdue. Gotta be careful though or else my daughter will end up being a big sister. Umm... maybe we should just stay in Hong Kong instead. Yikes!
