One year already

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Wow, can’t believe I have been blogging for a year now.  Dec 3rd was the day I started with Blogspot then in April I moved to Wordpress.com and when I bought my own domain I moved everything to Wordpress.org.  Also, it’s been 6 months since I started writing paid posts.  This blogging business really kept me busy body, plus another thing is when I run out of ideas to cook, go to these cooking blogs for recipes.  Will I continue to blog?  Yeah, for now.  It’s the only cheap form of communication with my sis and friends.  Yeah, I have became rather cheapskate now, and will continue with the paid posts till I school work conquers the idea of money.

Legwear anyone?

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Renee, my coworker, brought her daughter, Abbey, in yesterday.  She is really a very pretty girl, and everyone was ooing and ahhing at her, and how intelligent she is since she skip a year (not sure which grade) and went right to her junior  year.  Many of the ladies were asking her where she bought Abbey’s tights.  They are very cute and Renee was wearing one, too.  She bought them at hue.com, a website for all sorts of legwear.  It also has sleepwear and eyewear sold on their site.  But Renee told us their legwear items are what she loves.  Abbey said she loves the socks and lounge wear she bought from hue.com.   Hue.com’s fashion is very modern and trendy.

Stuff in my parents’ home

Of all books, I read this when I got to me parents’ home.  The first time I read this was I was 15 years old – Form 3.  This was one of the English book I needed to read during class.  The stories are good.  I forgot how good this book was: it test your comprehension and my comprehension really sucks.  You think I did those questions?  Hell no.

Then, I saw this larder.  If my old brain buckets tells me, this larder has been in this house even before I was born.  My mom repainted it from its original wood.  It used to have a very dark colored wood and it actually makes the kitchen rather gloomy.  But that larder stocks all the daily usage of plates, bowls, oil, sugar and other whatnot for cooking.

The kitchen: not much changes to it.  The marble table dates back from my great grandmother’s time, I think.  And the food cover on the table has been there forever.  The big bulging thing right at the top right of the picture is where all the shopping plastics goes to.  This kitchen is always hot.  For me, I always have the table fan, which is next to the refrigerator, on each time I sit there for meals.

The living room: The two vases between the TV, were from my dad’s father.  I told my mom once I wanted them, but now that I’m here across so many hills, mountains and seas, how to bring them back here lah??  Plus, the four wall panels – I think they are the 4 most beautiful women in China (a million years ago!)  And the painting of the two boats (not sure what you call them things that can be found in HK) were bought in HK so many umpteen years ago.

There are more pictures I want to put here, but there are still in DB’s laptop: that damn laptop is having a fit now.  So, will put up more pictures as I get them downloaded to Photobucket.

SD’s craze for designer sunnys

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Sd has been wearing glasses since she was 19 years old.  She only wears it for reading and some times when she drives.  When she was over at house last week, we asked her what happened to her glasses, she said she got rid of them.  It seems like she does not need it anymore.  It actually gives her a  headache when she wears them.  She wears sunglasses now as per her doctor’s instructions.  Yeah, she never wears sunglasses before as it was a burden, according to her.  Now she is opting for designer sunglasses  from glassesetc.com.  This website has all the designer sunnys and regular glasses you want.  They are all genuine and they do not sell any fake goods.  Moreover, if you are not satisfy with your eyewear, the shipping fee for your returns are free.  What is cool about this company is it also accept prescription orders and are all done by well-qualified opticians.

12/07/2007: Rhys' 7th Birthday

Photobucket

My sister’s #3 and DB share the same birthday, December 7th.  We celebrated #3’s birthday in KL.  His mom bought him two little chocolate cupcakes looking and gave him a watch for his birthday.  As for DB, well, he was already back in MN recovering from a cold, again.  I called him and wished him.  Not much I could do, right?
