Mobile blogging

Finally downloaded the blogger app onto my iPhone. Hopefully I will blog more from now on. Technically it's made it so convenient!

Sharing my fav pic of the wkend...

:p

my new toy

after much deliberation i finally decided to get the EP3.

Tadah!

been wanting to get a kick-ass camera, like so fun to play with the "settings" and like all the pics taken looks so nice... hur.

of cos the kitties were my first models. can really see the difference taken with my iphone camera and the ep3.

this pic taken with the iphone has got low ISO *haolian*

you can see this pic taken with the ep3 is less grainy :P

the super quick focus of the camera also allows me to clear pics of the kitties while they are "in action"

but maybe any normal camera can take pics better than the iphone camera. but but but... a micro 4/3 camera is like a manual car right? more control = more fun.

cannot wait to take more pics when i go traveling... maybe i will be lazy with the uploading though!

still honing my skills, this is the best i could do with xiao hei

so much easier to take pics of xiao huang!

more pics next time!

meow!

pr and i adopted these 2 kitties from a fosterer from the cat welfare society.

according to the fosterer, she found a litter of 5 kitties near a wet market. the 5 kitties consisted of 2 gingers, 2 tuxedos and 1 pure black cat. within days 4 of the kitties were "booked". we were the first to chope 1 of the gingers. the only kitty that no one wanted was the pure black one. pr and i decided to adopt the last one too. then the 2 kitties will have someone to play with when we are not at home. i think we made the right decision.

so here they are - xiao huang and xiao hei... aka mango and charcoal. hurhur. not creative, but their names are intuitive!

they are a bundle of joy :) although xiao huang is very bratty and territorial, xiao hei is very tolerant of him. 1 alpha male and 1 runt. makes a good combi!

this is xiao hei. a female kitty. its very difficult to take a picture of her because she is very black! completely black, with black whiskers and black eyes! she has a mini tail stump. we suspect she has bob-cat ancestry... hur

this is xiao huang, a male ginger kitty. beautiful features, human friendly but very bratty. craves attention and is territorial! only xiao hei can tahan him...

this is xiao hei sleeping. we reckon she cannot survive in the real world... cos she sleeps like a log...

xiao huang has the potential to be a model... look at him pose!

they love shoes. in fact they go crazy when they smell/see our running shoes. dunno what is it about shoes that make them go crazy.. heh

the bad thing abt kittens is that they grow up really fast. fleeting childhood? hurhur

coke glass cans!

"i'm gonna get a green, blue, lime, pink, purple, bank coca cola can glass, free with any upsized extra value meal at mcdonalds!"

yay :)

thank you class 95! now i have 1 set to keep and 1 set to use!

the taichi master is...

my dad-in-law!

hurhur, the dad-in-law that i only met once! but he's nice to us lah... he wanted us to visit him in kunming to learn taichi from him and to experience living with nature... harvest vegetables in the morn and cook them for meals! sounds egg-citing! but i think the earliest we can go over is next march/april. a loonnnngggg time more to wait :(

mr yeo visited him recently and posted many pics. i koped the pics from there...

dad-in-law & mr yeo doing the balancing act!

the grand master wu tu nan i often hear about...

i think this is the batch of students who visited kun ming..pernster's bro is a taichi teacher too! he's the cool looking dude on the extreme left.

next yr's destination will be kunming!

my number 2

pern is finally back from his work trip! he was away for about 10 days! like 10! :P

the last time he went away for work, it was to the US. and when he came back, he got me this:

this time he went to europe, extended a couple of days in munich. and he got me this:

yayness! totally love this! its my favourite pink colour!

the home, after make up

i apologise for procrastinating :P

here are the pictures of our home, after renovation!

welcome to the living area... the black and white cupboards will flank our LED tv! the area at the forefront of the picture is the study area where we will place our computers...

one of my favourite areas of the house is the.... kitchen! totally love the floral motifs of the cupboards.

the dining area inside the kitchen. i love my dingle-dangle light.

this is the spare bed room (aka dad's room)

my favourite part of the house.... the master bathroom! love love love the rain shower and the glass panel! and the sink top :)

the other side of the bathroom...

my walk-in robe! *dance*

the master bedroom! in a mess though :P

on a totally random note...

ben! after his haircut *awwwwwww*

A day out at the.... Jurlique Day Spa

people who know me will know that i'm a big jurlique fan. ever since i was introduced to their products back when i was studying in adelaide, i've been swearing by it and using nothing but their skin care products.

so when i saw the offer on groupon - $40 for a 60 min signature facial session, i just couldn't say no. the deal itself managed to convince yl to purchase 1 groupon herself and we booked ourselves a session yesterday.

tucked away at aloccassia apartments along bukit timah road, the store looked exactly like what you would see in a typical jurlique store in australia. the place oozed of 'naturalness' with all the woody furnishing.

we were soon ushered into the treatment room, and the session began with the therapist scrutinizing our pores and recommending suitable facial sessions tailored to our needs. i experienced the clarifying facial while yl was recommended the spa balls soothing facial.

throughout the session, we were treated to the full range of jurlique products, from the oat and honey exfoliaters to the herbal recovery eye gels. i totally enjoyed the eye and face massage and went to snoozeland within minutes. i especially liked the hot compress on the face, with loads of lemon grass and citrus smelling aroma oil.

yl and i were 2 very happy and satisfied customers at the end of the session :)

we treated ourselves to a few more of such sessions :P

this place is highly recommended!

my biggest purchase

prior to buying our 5-rm flat, my biggest purchase was sammy. i guess sammy is now number 2!

proudly showing number 1!

before "make-up"

this is the living area

this part is connected to the living area and leads to the bedrooms

this is the kitchen (u have to tilt your head :P)

this is the study room

this is the other bedroom (again, tilt your head)

this is my massive master bedroom

and my master bedroom toilet

i will soon post pictures of after "make up" once the works are done. looks really promising!

its a brand new year!

well not exactly... its been one month into the year and i only managed to find time today to update and recap the year. well... i've been busy :P

every time when we look back on the year that has passed, we always say time flies. but when we are actually going through the year, did you find that time went by really quickly? i didnt. mostly cos work has been really busy and tiring. i had so many trials last year!

looking back at 2010, i must say, it has been a pretty good year!

- baby ben is born!

- i was promoted...

- found someone who is willing to spend the rest of his life with me...

- 1/2 a home owner...

- was an invited speaker at a dietetics conference...

- looked after a kitty for 10 days!

but it was a good year. looking forward to 2011... the main events for this year is the wedding and the house! we will be getting our keys in the week to come and i can't wait!

meet Coco the kitty cat... i love her "puss in boots" look!

this was taken when Coco bade farewell to us... she looks kinda sad...

i have a very practical bf who refuses to get me things that i "want"... my bday present this year is something that i "need" or "good to have". ta dah! a 640 gb external hard disk! as storage device for my time machine...

the handsome that wants to marry me....

another handsome that i can't wait to see in a few days!

happy lunar new year everyone! hope you huat ah!
