Rainy Sunday and Raclette

I thought that yesterday would be a lazy Sunday in (since it was raining plus Mi Amor worked till 7pm the day before) so I cooked lunch and Mi Amor and I decided to spend the day curled up on the sofa watching movies.  However after lunch Mi Amor suddenly remembered that we had some Nestle Malaysia employees gathering thingy to attend (actually it was a post CNY lunch get together hosted by one of the colleagues). Wish he had remembered earlier so I could have saved those 4 pieces of chicken cordon bleu for next time! :P


So we attended the lunch get together and though I was freaking full, I stuffed my face silly since there was Raclette (cheese is my Kryptonite). I've only had Raclette 4 times in my life (and 2 of those times have been here in Vevey). I keep teling Mi Amor that we should get a Raclette set so that we can have Raclette on days when I'm too lazy to cook but Mi Amor isn't really a huge fan of cheese (but you're still gonna take me out for fondue right Mi Amor?). While everyone else was busy enjoying the Yee Sang and Mee Kari, it was raclette all the way for me! (seriously, there is no Malaysian food that I'm missing at the moment....either it's too early for that or I'm just not a big fan of our local food). 


At one point everyone started talking about each other's house warming and Mi Amor mentioned that he would inform everyone of our house warming soon. That totally killed my appetite (Housewarming?!? Easy for him to say, he doesn't even hafta cook! What the heck are we gonna serve people? As it is I've just started learning to cook for 2....now I hafta cook for a whole bunch of people? I don't even know how to make hot drinks!). It doesn't help that Mi Amor's colleagues are also good cooks. Arghhhhhh!!!!!!! (see Mi Amor, this is why we need a raclette set...then we don't hafta worry about cooking when we invite people over!)


When we got back home around 6pm, we decided to play Guitar Hero. Since it was the first time setting up/playing the GH game on the PS3, we had to calibrate the game but it just didn't seem to work. At first Mi Amor thought I just suck at GH and he didn't believe me when I said the guitar/console was not reading/sensing properly so he told me to play Easy mode (I've always played Medium) which I found insulting! :P and when I couldn't even hit notes in the Easy mode, then only did he finally believed me
( coz he's smart enuff to know that though his wife may not be great at GH, she doesn't suck THAT BAD.....though he did try to get me to play Beginner mode....how dare he! >:(  )


After an hour of unsuccessfully trying to calibrate GH, we gave up and ended up watching TV instead till we both fell asleep.

I love the view of the houses up in the hill....I can only imagine how it must look like covered in snow

Yes, I like to put cheese on everything!

It seems so unfair that a baby should have such long eyelashes....I'm jealous :<

Mi Amor unhappy with the GH

*** Oh I just had to add this as a side note:  Remember how I stumbled across my anniversary surprise from Mi Amor while cleaning the cupboard? Well, since then he has requested that I leave the top shelf of the cupboard alone and that it should be his personal space to store things. He even made me PROMISE that I will not touch the shelf or so much as look at it (he said he could even hide a girl in there if he wanted to coz it's his prerogative). Whatever  :P (as long as there are some more good surprises in store for me on that shelf!). Then yesterday while I was about to enter the room, I saw Mi Amor standing in front of the cupboard rummaging around his shelf.....and this is what he pulled out:

A box of white chocolate bars with praline filling

HAHAHAHAHA.......so he's been hiding food there!! Food which he doesn't want to share with me....giler buruk perangai! Like seriously Mi Amor, you think I would actually steal your food?!? :P (though I must say, the chocolate bars are YUMMY so I don't blame you).
