Happy spring equinox peeps!

Anyways the pup and I made an egg stand each earlier this evening. Did you manage to?

p/s: this is the first time I'm blogging with my iPod Touch, so I'm guessing formatting looks a lil off :p

Standing eggs

The pup kept telling me something about the turn of the new year which will happen on Feb 4 (which is why we have something planned) but I never realized what he was talking about until yesterday evening.

Li chun or lap chun (in Cantonese) is a solar term which signifies the beginning of Spring. If you're familiar with Chinese culture, then you'd recognize Qing Ming and Dong Zhi as some of these turn of seasons.

For me, it's not so much of the turning or beginning of any season, but more of an egg day :)

Li Chun is the one day of the year where it's supposedly easier to balance an egg on one end and it's said to only happen for 45 mins.

So yeah, watch out for our egg standing post soon!!!

Counting...

Just came across a quote today and thought I'd like to add it here

"Don't count the days, but make the days count."

While it's a great idea to count the days to know how long we've been in each other's lives, but I think it's a much greater idea to make the best out of them instead :)

After all, as the puppy says - a great relationship has more misses than hits!

Much love,
bunny

We is good with kids :P

We headed back this weekend for my cousin, Wendy's wedding dinner. It was a fun night with the nieces and nephews... more particularly Cherrie girl :) She's such a little bundle of joy and it was so much fun that she actually wanted to hang out with us instead of mommy and daddy :)

This is mom and Cherrie girl...

Cherrie's older cousin, Stella.  She loves posing for the camera and has been very well trained by her mom and aunt with all these hand gestures and head tilts!

Little drummer girl 

Mom took this pic of us...

"Yes, Uncle Colin?"

Here she is pretend feeding me

"And this one is for you..."

"No wait.... I'm not ready yet!!!"

"Yeah I'm still not ready, Uncle Colin..."

  

Then baby Rae came to play...

We nicknamed her 'The drooling baby' because the pup saw her deliberately letting a whole glob go down on my arm :P 

She's such a cutie! 

Then Cherrie girl came back

"Here's a plate for your chillies..."

Our new pad - Part III

We're almost done! Most of the big things were moved today, like the bed frame, fridge/kitchen stuff, our clothes and little things that go on the shelves (books, cds/dvds, plushies, you know the drill).

Lucky us, our friend heard that we were moving everything on our own, so she volunteered her husband to come and help us out. At first the pup and I said no because well, we didn't want to trouble anyone, but she insisted saying "Oh don't worry, he's a gym buff... so let him skip a day and lift the weights in your place..." so yeah, thanks a lot Christine and Kelvin. You're both such gems! :)

Here are a couple more shots of our almost complete new place!

Our new pad - Part II

Since we're doing the moving ourselves, we've decided to load the car up twice a day (or just once if we're really tired) and slowly move stuff in. So we took the stuff that we didn't really need at the old place first!


Plus, it really helped that we got the floor plan of the unit before actually moving in, so we could do a bit of pre-planning to see what could fit where and yadda 3x...

 

This is the car almost fully loaded.

We moved stuff like that small book shelf and the side table...

And the drawers, shelf and shoe rack...

Halfway setting up our 'entertainment area' (this is where the telly and pup's work station goes)

Our new pad - Part I

So since we've gotten the keys to the new place, we thought we'd start off by cleansing it and moving some stuff over. It's the holiday season and movers are seriously over charging us for that short journey and light load (can't blame 'em) so we kind of have no choice but to do it ourselves. 

Thank goodness the pup's got a Volvo 850 T5 :)

The pup got this on his recent trip to Melbourne. It's really so hard to find it here in Malaysia! But yeah, we light this up for cleansing every once in a while 

But hey, here's some pictures of our new pad! FYI it's a studio unit (yes it's ONE big room) and it's about 520 sq ft (that's about 55m2 if I'm not mistaken) and we're in a nice neighborhood. My cousin lives two blocks away so that's good, just in case we need anything at the last minute!

This is the view of the bathroom. It's pretty spacious and long. But the shower area is rather small-ish.

 

 This is the kitchenette area. I think this is the only area where I'm most disappointed about because I love to cook and to have such a small space is rather demotivating. We're still thinking of how to arrange everything properly so that we can still cook decent meals without smoking the entire unit!

That's the rest of the place :P Yes we know it's rather small, but then it's pretty much all the space we used in the old place anyways. Bathroom/toilet, bedroom/entertainment room and kitchen!

Here's what it looks like standing at the sliding door looking back in.

Well okay, enough blogging. I need to continue packing!
