Size is relative

Angry!

The xmas tree I bought last friday turned out to be a flop! Angry Angry!

Xmas - SMALL

Know what’s it is sitting on? Our sub woofer! Super small. It din’t look like that when I saw it at NTUC. Now, I should tell everyone that my xmas tree is so small that I can’t put lights on it!

With this tree, it really showed how BIG our house is. Ha! Baby said I did not buy a Xmas tree. I bought a pot of plant back instead. Perhaps I should buy a Star to put on top of the plant and hope it can look bigger. (Not toppling over, I guess)

The only consolation is the 2 piece of gold leaves. Nice lorh.

Speaking of plants.. NEW addition to our house!

Plant

Something to cheer up tired mornings.

*Baby said: Seems like this pot of plant is bigger than the one in our living room.

Evita comes home + the LIMs

Hello Alligators.. how was your weekend?

I love weekends. Who doesn’t right? Quite apparently…

Nowadays, our free time is spent tidying up the loose ends @ home. It feels weird when you have your own place and you feel the need to get it tidied up.

Anyway..

Here comes our sofa and it IS HUGE. Love it! We can each lie on side side each and not meet each other. Hahaha…

BTW Alligators, don’t be fooled into thinking my flat expanded. The space between sofa and feature wall is till less than 3metres!

Went to meet my ex-colleagues after the last meet up in 2 years (I think). They have had many gatherings before but I just could not make it everytime!

This time, Billugun the Mongolian is leaving SG for good! We will miss him! Out of the 12+ folks which we met up with, I only knew 5 of them. -_-

That’s the consequence when the cohort gets bigger and you are one of the ‘seniors’ which joined the coy much earlier..like in 2003?

Time really flies. Things change. But what did not is the common topic which we had.


The LIMs family.

There are always new stories to add on. More dramas to it.

We love the LIMs. Basically. I do sometimes think of them. And even to the extend of visiting them one fine day. And wear shoes into the office!

( We had this rule whereby we can’t wear our own shoes in office. Need to bring slippers and wear.)

Actually, I love this idea :)

Last heard, they changed the flooring to parquet or something like that. No more such rules! Damn la.

Delivery of our dining table came late last evening. Found some chip offs at the side of the table. Delivery person said they will change a new piece for us. Meanwhile, will let us use the one we got for now.

My colleague received one bouquet of roses yesterday. I had my Ah Keong stand in for this photo shoot.

Keong & Roses

Look how photogenic Ah Keong is! Sigh. When was the last time I received a bouquet?

Did some work over the weekend… went shopping for Sofa again.. what else.

We might be getting this Evita from Cellini after all. Trying our best to squeeze it in!

Blocky

Also from Cellini but we ain’t too keen on this set.

The grilles are gone! Did the same as what drama mama did.

Baby and myself were on the way back when I saw one unit near my place having decals on the bottom of the by windows.

Saeran: Baby 有人黏 Decals 在 Window 那边。黏花的pattern. 不然我们也黏要不要?

Baby: 黏什么

Saeran: 黏 Grilles the pattern!

Baby: Wah Lau!不要拆不是更好!

BTW, I almost forgotten to inform the world that my renovation is completed. I had to think twice each time someone asks. My mind has come to a point that my renovation is always on going.
