Simon came home from work while us girls are talking about girly stuff like earrings, dresses and shoes! he opened a bottle of white wine and got everyone to drink with him before going for a serious night out.. Jo didnt want any and so did i! but i was 'forced' to drink some in end and my glass was mysteriously topped up when i went into my room to pick up a phonecall.. of course, both Miyuki and Simon appear not to know anything about it! haha..

because all 4 of us were home and in the kitchen, we decided to do a quick 'spring' cleaning.. and chucked out all the stuff in the fridge that doesnt belong to anyone of us! gosh, there was nothing much left in the fridge after that! but well, we did have a serious house meeting, didnt we? haha!
