Free SMS, Antepe party and baby shower

I have a new habit now to check ozbargain.com.au and came upon this promotion of free 225 free local/international sms. Nothing to lose, right? I gave it a try and it worked. It's good timing too as I need to inform all my friends of my new home mobile numbers (my prepaid is expiring soon).

It's quite convenient too as I could sms my hubby using office internet, making it fast and less obvious. My mum must have thought I miss her so much hahaha.. I sent her her so many sms, begging her to come and visit me here .. and help sew the hem of my jeams hehee....

Last weekend was long weekend for us in Sydney. My friends has a gathering at my place. They are my friends back in Singapore and part of a group we called "Antepe" which stands for 'ane cinte KaPe' which means (in Betawi) ' i love Komisi Pemuda', as we used to be part of Young Adult Fellowship. Now, the group scattered all over the world, 1 in Cananda, 5 in Sydney, 1 in Perth, 6 in Singapore, 3 in Indonesia. The 4 couples who were here on Sat are couples with kids (1 kid each couple).We ordered KFC and I'm not sure why they don't have 'crispy' chicken though, so we ordered Original. My neighbours (we lived in the same 'estate) brought some bak-changs, egg tarts and coffee machine; the most wonderful neighbours! The wife made coffee for us all and she could play with all the kids, she's a wonder woman! She cooks for the family, continue with her work at home and could still teach her daughter. My friend is a lucky husband... and i pity my husband (i'm sure he's nodding his head reading this article).

On Sunday, we went to a friend's baby shower. She's another wonder woman. She's 5-6mths pregnant but for the baby shower, she baked a 'baby shower' cake and muffins, cooked steak sandwich and salad...... and she made games for us. One of the games are guessing the length of her stomach. We cut a length of thread that would be close to the lengh of her waistline/stomach. Another one is transfering cotton balls from a plate to another plate with eyes closed (the other spouse give verbal instruction). The last game was playing crosswords (yes, she created the crosswords herself) relating to baby and pregnancy.. in bahasa Indonesia. It was fun! She is going to bake a birthday cake for our friend's birthday tomorrow.

Now, what shall i get for my friend's (husband) birthday..... It's really hard to buy presents for a guy...
