We finally get to spend the weekend together this week.- What do you want to do?
After all our OTs and work trips,- I'm glad we can finally spend time together.
- How about a short getaway to JB?
- I don't know leh.
- I'm feeling a bit lazy to go out of Singapore.
- Then what you feel like doing?
- We could do something at home.
- Want to try some new cooking projects together?
- Umm, I was thinking to go out together though.
- But we hardly even spend time together at home in the first place.
- We can watch movie at home too.
- Okay. A movie at home doesn't sound too bad I guess.
- How about this? We stay at home and
- I'll choose the recipe, and we're going to try and you choose the movie.
- Like that or not?
- Can.
- But I choose the recipe also ah?
- Fine
- Yeah.
- So it's fair now, right?
- Yah, I'll choose a good movie and recipe,
- you'll like it for sure.
