Yes, we sort of skip Christmas shopping and jump forward to prepare for Chinese New Year (Jan 2012). 
Learn the lesson from previous CNY where we did last minute shopping (around 3 days before actual day). It doesn’t work for me, the picky lady. I ended up with a few items which I never wear, Oops!
So this time we start earlier, one month before CNY, and because there is YES (Year End Sale) too. We’re making a teeny weeny progress today. I’m contemplating to make an online purchase this time, cause there is much choices online but I can’t try them on. Not like shopping for auto repair shop software alone.
Picture of us from December this year and last year, at the same atrium of the same shopping mall. Spot the difference between now and then! Hehe.
Lesson from today shopping: want to know whether you are getting fatter/thinner? Don’t use weight scale, it’s just numbers. Go shopping, try on clothes/pants that you adore and you’ll realize which part of your body is getting larger/smaller. 
Not exactly a movie but rather a Taiwan idol drama – In Time with You / Wo Ke Neng Bu Hui Ai Ni, which I just finished watching it recently. Starring Ariel Lin, hitting 30 and in the field of work shoes for women, this drama has a more real life storyline, not the cartoonish or fairytale type where rich good-looking guy falls in love with a poor kind-hearted girl.
The shooting took place in Singapore as well and it showcased IKEA items here and there in the scene, mainly in Cheng You Qing’s room (Ariel Lin’s character). Of all IKEA items, what caught my eyes the most is her closet! Think it’s a hack of the GORM shelving unit turns into closet. I’m looking for a closet idea, that’s why this stuck in my mind.
The best anniversary gift is being able to spend time with the love one. Talk about movie date {Petaling Street Warriors} with a trip to IKEA, picking on house decor and discuss over it, check out trash pump on sale, ended with dinner at Pizza Hut Delivery kiosk.
Basically a NO WORK day on a regular weekday. Superwoman and superman need to take a break too!
Anyway, stepping into the third year of marriage. We have gone from staying with in-laws in the small town to moving back to the city and rent a room, and now renting an apartment. Just the two of us, no baby, still feel like newlywed.
Hubby’s friend was moving house on last weekend so we were there to help him. I thought that’s better than staying at home alone and watch drug detox clinics news.
I had my share of cleaning up two rooms’ floor that was covered by paint. When I was handed the broom and mop, I thought: “Ah, easy task! Cleaning is my middle name.”
But.. people says never underestimate something, which is true. The paint was so stubborn, hard to mop/wipe it away. Took me more than an hour to clean up two rooms, the longest record ever. -__-”
After that, I get to paint a part of the living room’s wall. It was fun, but at some point I was hoping that the wall is a canvas in Photoshop, where I just need to create a shape, click on color and voila! This is when you asked a web-designer to paint a wall.
The two tasks sounded easy peasy, but I woke up the next day with muscle pain on my leg and arm.
I’m late, I’m late~! ala the white rabbit in Alice in the Wonderland. *press panic button*
You see, it’s Thanksgiving week, few days til December – the last month of this year. New year coming soon, hah! I repeat it, we almost reach the end of the fourth quarter! *panic, in a good way*
In between clients work and doing house chore include cleaning up business desktops, I devote my time to do my long-overdue-personal-project. Hardworking me, no more slacking cause I’m targeting to launch it on early January next year. This time, the deadline is for real.
Wooshh, let’s do it!
