This phrase originated from a feminist slogan: A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle. Well, it means that if someone needs something like a Fish Needs a Bicycle, they do not need it at all. I believe this is most modern woman's analogy.
Nevertheless, no matter, how strong a woman appears, we know LOVE does wonder and we saw just too many cases of when a Man falls for a woman and when a woman falls for a man and they go jelly, jelly.
Well, even with a MAN in my life now, I do still very much agreed with this analogy. NOT that I got any issue with my mine, he is really wonderful and I really enjoy my life with him. But just want to let the woman out there knows, there is nothing wrong in staying single and happy. You don't need a man like fish needs water, you just need a man like a fish needs a bicycle. They can add some sparks and entertainment in your life but they aren't everything and anything and your world won't just crumple down because they exit.

Since after Moi's wedding, every week seems to go so quickly. I cant even recall when was the last time I laid back and chill out. So thanks Beary for the 3 nice bottles of Sapporo beer tonight. ;-) The smooth bitter beery taste that I had so missed and I had so longed. * hic hic *
Moi loves beer because it is my interlude for my succession of alcohol fix; it cools the body during a warm hot day and warms it during the cold cold night; it is easy to gulp it down and goes well with many kinds of food. I love having that little glass of beer just before dinner to relax and feel really in "enjoyment" mode instead of work mode. Those were the days. In my new home "inaccessible" to all sorts of liquor... and companion of liquor. It makes my craving even stronger. When the stress builds up with dividing my time up into a multiple pie leaving very little time for US and for myself. The pie of my family, MooCow's family, friends, work, life, etc. So after 3 bottles with Beary, decided to extend the night a little further by going coffee with MooCow. It's been a while since I last chatted with my good friend, spent just quiet time without others around. So we sat at our usual spot and shared a cup of coffee over fries. Kind of made Moi reminisce the quiet times that I can just be myself, instead of playing the role of being a wife, a daughter-in-law, a daughter. To be "carefree" to go as and when I want and wherever I want to.
I supposed I am adjusting to the routine life of being Mrs MooCow especially with my job also become a very routine-type of work that I can go off relatively at very regular hours as compared to my previous work place. Good or bad, I can't really judge at this moment but i know I better do something before my life get too routine. Evolving around my husband and his family. Like they always said, when you married someone, you don't marry him / her alone but a whole string and throng of people attached too. Just as MooCow needed to adjust himself to my whole jungle of family and friends. Moi too, got to adjust to his.
It was a tormenting day the other day when my own mother was greatly tired out and stress out with taking care of 3 kids and my mother-in-law fell really sick and couldn't even get out of the bed. When one's responsibilities of being a daughter or daughter-in-law was being tested. WELL, I think I just need to learn to adapt and yet balance between not losing my own identity and space. BUT Moi is not totally negative about it, instead I am planning to cook shabu shabu for Moocow family tomorrow night and started reading up recipes and will definitely loves to try out one or two dishes soon. And knowing that MooCow is supportive of my overseas studying and that I will have a financial support when I decide to embark is not a totally bad idea after all.
Ahem!! And for those who have been asking,... kids are not on our agenda at the moment. And anywhere Moi has never been really a kid person so STOP asking. I am not interested. Even if I would to miss my window...yup... It's my choice... And I think it's really up to me.

Just celebrated our first Birthday Celebration for Mr MooCow as Mr and Mrs MooCow, if you know what I meant. Was very much impressed by this place Bella brought me the other day so did a mental note to throw a surprise dinner celebration for MooCow here. =) The guy was really bowled over by the good food, good service and cosy (though a little noisy) ambience just as myself and Bella were when we came here last month.
Would had really like to have their pasta since I enjoyed so much with Bella the other time but Mr MooCow got other preferences. Well, it's the MAN's day so he got to pick. We had Demi douzaine d’escargots de Bourgogne au beurre d’herbes (Half dozen snails baked with wild herbs and garlic butter) for starters, grilled ocean trout with baked dauphine potatoes, french beans and FJORD pizza (Tomatoes, mozzarella, crab meat , capers ,onions, cherry tomatoes, mayonnaise) for our mains. Plus free flow of yummy soft breads and a glass of 2006 bordeaux. Heavenly. Even MooCow, a non-alcoholic, enjoys and finds the red wine silky smooth and mellow. Heehee!
Enjoyed the food and the time spent. Happy Birthday, MooCow!
