New Year's Eve and Eve

Went to the curve. To watch avatar. And to Ben's party afterwards(countdown to New Year's Eve party 0.0).

Sick now. I talk like a tranny. Had sore throat yesterday, then it got worse after having pizza and soda at Ben's house. Was generally grumpy. Got home late, about 1. My dad went to some fortune telling thing, so I had to wait until he was done. Then had to find some 24 hour clinic.


Still smiling and feeling fine. :D


Camwhoring outside a resto. The shelves of books were merely decorations.

Nat and Sim Kuan. Sim Kuan holding Yenyi's pressie. =D

People were staring at us getting excited over Avatar statues.



AVATAR WAS AWESOME. GO WATCH IT. We watched in 3D, at the beginning Natalie wasn't so happy because she was broke and the tickets were exy. Haha. But it's worth the money. VERY DARN FASCINATING. Tis gonna be my favourite movie along with Dark Knight.

I was also wearing glasses when we enter the cinema and it was uncomfortable because I had to wear 2 glasses at the same time. 3D glasses over my glasses. Freaky, so I put on my contact lens in the cinema. Hoho.

Sim Kuan bought a handbag for Yen Yi, as a birthday present. Today's YenYi's birthday. 31.12.09. Last day of d year! Yen Yi's in Genting, I think. Happy birthday, yenyi!

After she bought it she was like, SHIT, SHIT! Because she was broke. We're all broke. Sim Kuan was like, "I'm gonna kill Yen Yi if she doesn't appreciate this." Haha.

It's New Year's Eve. Meiyen asked me to go to her house. They be going to Waterfront. Fireworks? Probably staying in. Ishhh.

NOW TO ALL OF YOU WHO ARE WELL & HEALTHY, BE THANKFUL!

But at least mine is just a pity bug. Not some fatal disease. =D

SLYVANNIAN FAMILIES AS MODELS.

I always say I want to be a fashion designer. But I stay true to it wei. I AM ABSOLUTELY SERIOUS ABOUT THIS.

Meet my sylvanian family dolls, the models.


(clothes made by me... *perasan* *ar hem*)


The rabbit has pink glitter to conceal bite marks. My dog managed to get his teeth on her.

Draw-on pumpkin and safety pin on Arabian Squirrel.

Arabian Squirrel's baby Arabian Squirrel.



I MADE THEM CLOTHES. You can tell them by the shabbiness of it. Haha. The one that are store bought are baby rabbit's clothes, sheep's flower hairband and hat.

They are freaking cute but freaking childish also... These photos are taken last year, they are stashed in a box now...

So this is the only "dress making" experience I have.... :D

Two years

Two can be such a beautiful number.

How has the second year been different from the first? In many little insignificant-yet-significant ways.

We have more things, more clothes, a new bookshelf by the entryway and new upholstery in the dining room. We color our hair less. Marlon weighs less (and dresses better, if you ask me). We switched bed sides. We fight much, much less than we did in our first year, despite me being somewhat less eager to please and prove myself as a wife. In fact, I don't remember a single fight we had this year.

We are beginning to see our dreams slowly being fleshed out into reality. We have savings (!) and earn more as a unit. We've rented out our spare room. We don't spend a bomb on groceries anymore. We do Iyengar yoga for beginners on Monday evenings. Actually, we exercise together, period. (Although we swim less often.) We cook together less often, but we still do sometimes, which I find extremely therapeutic and enjoyable. We are supposed to be closer to having a baby, but we keep moving the "deadline."

I would like to be trite and cutesy and say that the only things that haven't changed are the love and happiness of being married to my husband. But that wouldn't be true, because they have -- they've grown greater and deeper, and have simply become, in a word, more.

Happy second anniversary, sweetie. I love you!

New Goals

Hope everyone had a great Christmas! Ours was a little too eventful, if you ask me. Christmas Eve started early, with both of us having to work a half day. Then I left early (yeah, early on a half day!) because it was so slow and I was SO sick I could hardly lift my head. And no, it wasn't morning sickness :) So we went home and I slept for three hours while Adam cleaned the house so it would be spotless when my parents came over that night. How cute, right? Well, luckily for me, after I woke up I felt MUCH better but still not 100%. But the parents came over, we had a yummy dinner and then watched Miracle on 34th Street, opened presents, played Apples to Apples, and ate some really tasty bread pudding. It was a really great Christmas Eve (except for the sickness)
The next morning, we woke up, opened presents (my big present was a carpet shampooer, and Adam's was a camcorder) and got ready for the Peterson's breakfast. We spent the whole day with Adam's family and came home exhausted to spend some time with the puppy.
All in all, it was a great Christmas. Didn't take many pictures, but oh well.
Anyhow, on to something else! As the title of this post states, I've been making some new goals recently. Life's been SO busy that I fell like I'm always bummed about not doing something or stressed out about something else so I decided I need to do more that I like to do and things that make me happy. A clean house is one of them :) Bloggin is another. So that's why I'm posting today. I promise to post at least once a week, and find something fun to actually post about.

Today's post? The kitchen. We've begun the painful process of changing up the kitchen and our first step was the appliances. With limited counter space, we REALLY needed to move our mammoth micro off of the counter and above the stove where it belongs. Before:

See all of the space that was wasted? Plus the vent hardly worked and neither did the light. OUT I SAY!!! So we took it out. And the cabinet above it. Well, actually just moved the cabinet up. Here's our poor kitchen during the process.
Old microwave on the island, toaster oven on the counter, missing cabinet somewhere, and dishes all over. Oh, and I know I'm the WORST person for not putting any pictures of the inside of our house up, but I promise I will, hence the goal to post more often.
We decided to lift the cabinet now, rather then wait until we added more cabinets, so we wouldn't have to install the micro twice.
See? Look how pretty :) All done and with only ONE trip to Home Depot. A 20 minutes job that turned into a few hours. Plus, we're so glad we raised the cabinet, since leaving it would have made the microwave WAY too low. Oh, this picture shows the color of the kitchen so much better then the one above it. Kind of a neutral green.

Oh, and we replaced the dishwasher! This one even works :) Now I don't have to handwash ANY MORE!!!
Oh so pretty! And quiet! And shiny! And no buttons in sight! We've since replace then fridge and due to a Christmas bonus and a surprise check from our escrow account, we'll be able to get our stove sooner then expected! But that'll be a challenge since we're upgrading from Electric to GAS!!! Yippee! I'm just glad I don't have to run the gas line. Love ya honey!

C is for Christmas

A few days before Christmas, Marlon gave me a choice. Did I want something:

a) Young, up-and-coming
b) Classic and sophisticated
c) Mature, chic and understated

I am at an age where aging is already beginning to scare me, so I ruled out B automatically. It sounded too old. So I let him vacillate between A and C, although I told him the only reason I would probably lean towards A was because the word "mature" makes me leery. Then he warned me that A was pretty close to something I already had. So I said, ok fine, C then.

On Christmas Eve, I found out that C was actually a B.

Actually, to be precise, C was a B.V.

Say hello to my newest black, buttery soft baby :-) A fantastic choice by Marlon and my favorite Christmas gift of all!
