There were two types of crabs, two types of vegetables, fried sotong, lala soup, sweet and sour taufu, mee and desert.

I believe all the dishes were cleaned out in less half an hour, hehehe.

The youngest country on earth ~ New Zealand

Yurp, it's one of the latest and hotest topic that everyone's talking about now. Thanks to AirAsia one can now travel to New Zealand, known as the youngest country on earth.

With a population of only 4 million, New Zealand is one of the least crowded country in the world. It is the perfert place for one who are seeking peace, rejuvenation and relaxation as well as a playing field for thrill seekers and adventurers. It's an ideal all year-round holiday destination due to its temperate climate.

New Zealand is also well known for it's breath taking landscapes that includes vast mountains chains, steaming volcanoes, sweeping coastlines, deeply indented fiorbs and lush rainforests.

Kindly click here for information about New Zealand or even better, plan a trip with your loved one(s) and visit AirAsia to get your ticket(s) to explore and experience New Zealand in real.

Purple, Silver & White

Here we are, it's that time of the year again, the one that I have been looking forward too since begining of the year. Finally, I can happily say out loud that I own my Christmas tree. Although it's not a real tree, the meaning of having one is huge to me.

Again, I must say thank you to BS for making all this a reality.

The hunt for a tree started last week. From Mid Valley to Petaling Street and all the way to Ikea, finally we found one in Mutiara Tesco. It's a 7 feet tree at the price of RM129.90 (the feeling was like, yes ~ this is the one regardless the price).

After that, a trip to Jusco One Utama, Metrojaya and a few other places for the ornaments.

It came to me that it wasn't an easy task from getting a tree to setting up one. Thank goodness I have someone at home that knows what he's doing.

The last weekend was entirely used up for the tree. We found out that the LED lights was not enough to cover the tree and off we go to get additonals.

We tend to get extra ornaments here and there for the tree throughout the week ~ over budget!!! Well, it's our first tree so why not. At least we do not have to spend more on ornaments for next year ~ tee hee hee.

 Purple, silver and white was the theme for our tree. Ohh, I almost forgot to introduce WOOF WOOF ~

I don't know why but he's named Woof right after BS set eyes on him.

And now, I would like to present our tree, standing tall right here in the middle of the hall ~ our PRIDE!!!

Work of mother nature

Something lovely has been happening over the past week in my little balcony garden. In my "Some greens within a tiny space @ 6-3-12" posting, BS and I turned our plain empty balcony into a little garden. I have selected a water lily to be part of the garden.

A few days ago I notice there was a little bud at the bottom of the tank where I planted the water lily. I was so excited and started to keep an eye on it's development.

This morning, we woke up to a special delight.

Look, look, look ~ our lily starts to bloom.

Too bad my camera is not good enough to take close up picture. Not to worry, BS own a DSLR camera that he bought earlier this year (Sony 380 ~ click to view posting).

Me Me Me ~ with the correct settings set by BS ~ all I did was ~ press the capture button (hehehe)

I combined all the pictures taken and created a short clip (below). All the time spent waiting was worth it. Take a look and you will understand why.

See 

how

beautiful 

our

lily

is.

Stress on the road!!!

The traffic jam in Klang Valley is kind of bad this few weeks. With the school holidays, I was expecting a much smoother ride home before and after work.

Maybe I am not used to the traffic flow as I have been staying in Damasara area which is very near to my work place in Damansara Utama. I have moved into my new home in Desa Petaling since May 2010 and I am still trying to get used to the extra miles for me to travel to work.

I used to take less than 10 minutes to reach my work place but now the time has increase to 45 minutes to an hour. Honestly, the distance and time spent on the road has taken its toll. I get agitated easily, mood swings here and there, and I get tired easily. And the bad thing is, I tend to release my anger and frust on BS. That is totally not right, I know. I am thankful that BS doesn't blame but tend to calm me down and cheer me up. God bless BS.

I think I really need to work on the time spent on the road. Since I have a gym membership with Celebrity Fitness, think I better go and do some rounds of work-out before heading to work.

Let's do that and hope there will be improvement.
