12.01am and it is Monday again

*Gallant left my place and our fabulous weekend together just a couple of hours ago. I hate to see him leave and wait another week till we can spend quality time together.

Our initial plans were not followed to the letter, naturally. I would fall asleep on his shoulder through football games and be woken up at goals. I didn't even budge for the Brazil and France game.

We didn't go to the museum because we were too lazy in the morning. I ended up cooking three meals instead of just one also because we were too lazy to leave home. We did manage to drag ourselves to the market, thankfully, else be faced with starvation induced by sloth.

Some shopping was done at town on Saturday. Then we passed the Thai embassy and dropped by the fair. We bought yummy packets of green curry, tom yum and yellow curry paste from a shop called Blue Elephant. These as-good-as-from-scratch pre-mixes are going to make me seem like a pro in the kitchen.

For dinner, we packed an array of Thai food and the biggest durian I've ever seen! Durian lover *Gallant, who could usually eat two whole durians by himself couldn't even finish this one. And again on Sunday lunch, I cooked Pad Thai and made rice paper rolls (with a tangy chicken filling). You can say it was a very Thai inspired weekend.

It's great that he is back... and sweeter than ever. Very true that absence makes the heart grow fonder as I was pampered, loved, taken care (foot massages all weekend long) and bear hugged at every opportunity.
