Xmas' coming

It's near the end of the year again, and soon in 3 weeks time, I'm gonna turn 23(oh my gosh! did I just typed 23?! yikes!). Looking back, this year went well and I have no regrets with which ever path I had chose to take.

Xmas is the time of giving and although I've already spent quite a substantial amount off my bank account getting his birthday present just a month ago, I sacrificed a bit more just for a lil surprise on the 25th.

We kinda agreed on smaller presents this Christmas because of the above, and that he had also bought me a phone 2weeks back, I can't bring myself asking for more. But of cos, I still hope for a tiny surprise this weekend.

Gonna head into JB on Boxing Day with Mom + Aunt & family + Chris & siblings, it's like a family outing! I'm feeling so excited already just thinking about it! Gonna get more Wii games and accessories and try to stock up on some cheap grocery over there. Not forgetting cheap and nice seafood to end the day.



I'm feeling kinda upset right now. I guess it's time to let go.

My Fujitsu laptop of almost 4years is REALLY dying. I tried upgrading the ram from 512 to 1gb a few months ago and it went well, but now it starts up and shuts down really slowly and when I try to load a web page, it would take forever before it's fully loaded. And the moment I click on a link, the webpage hangs!

I'm currently using Chris' netbook to blog and do my stuffs, but it just doesn't feel the same. Sigh. He mentioned about getting me a desktop, as CPU performs better than a laptop. I wonder if I should, cos I hate the monitor and CPU collecting dust, and not to mention, the messy wires and it'll be taking up more space than a laptop. Moreover, it ain't portable.

But if it's gonna be a iMac, then I wont mind lah. It's like a all-in-1 you know. It it looks minimalistic and it's just great!

*hint*hint*

Got the Iphone!

Cute? They love squishing during their sleep


Sometimes Dumpty likes being alone, but still, squished.

*laughs*

She sure likes to be in the weirdest sleeping position and unthnkable moves/stunts during play. Sundae and I am amused each time she's awake and active, but she doesn't like being handled, would siam and run super fast from our hands. Might be a marathon runner in the past. keke.

Humpty eats and sleeps all day, but she loves being handled by us. She tried grabbing and holding onto Chris' finger last night when hetried to stroke her. Then ended up carrying her, so fun!




Chris bought me the Iphone on Saturday. Queue isn't mad in Compass point, but I still had to wait for over 2hours before seeing the phone lah.

Got free X'mas mug from them, very nice loh, was tempted to ask them to give me another one, but decided I shouldn't, cos that'll make me look so Auntie! But the mug is really nice mah!

See...

They have the orange colour one too!


Went shopping for my Iphone's LEATHER FLIP CASING at Tampinese yesterday. Nubox damn expensive, so we just looked around. Headed to Tenchi, 1 @ $19.90, 2 @ $29.90.

Bought 2, cos Chris say standby for his Iphone which he might be getting 3 months later.

Luckily I tried the leather case outside the shop! The camera hole ain't aligned to the Iphone's camera! So I went back to change.

Opened one after another, tried one after another still the same! Sibei tulan and black face liao, especially those cover SCRATCHED my phone! WTH! I tried witholding my unhappiness after the sales girl cleaned them off with Zippo, but Chris said my face still looked very "chao tah".

The sales girl tried to psycho me to take the Silicon back casing, as the cam hole sure will be aligned on that. So BO PIAN, I chose a fake white Paul Frank silicon cover and walked out.

SUPER BO HUA LOH! Outside this type of silicon covers $10 only, max $12. Felt like I was cheated leh! And why didn't I asked for a refund? Idiot me!

And the best thing is? We went to Challenger after that AND! saw icoat (back cover + screen protector) at only $24 LAH!

Sian to the max! Totally no mood liao. Chris offered to buy me the icoat, but like waste double the money, so I tell him to get it when my white silicon case turns yellow.

Sigh!

Anyways, I'm having fun with the phone. But battery life is really damn short! I got it fully charged @ 11am yesterday, and by the time I slept @ 12midnight, it was 17%. And when I woke up this morning at 9plus, it was long gone!

Gotta get to the housework now, Chris applied had leave since thursday and housework had been neglected ever since then due to exams and shopping. :P

Tattaz!

Humpty Dumpty

Meet Humpty & Dumpty Sundae's Pearl White Winter White hamsters!


Damn cute can! Humpty(timid and quieter one) will squeek and then put up both hands and then fake dead when Dumpty(super active and curious one) goes too near or step all over her. Haha!

Exceeded my budget for them lah! Why?!

Cos I went down to Yishun Interchange, thinking it's a neighbourhood, hammies shld be sold cheaper right? But I was so wrong, they're selling $20 for each pearl!

And so I headed down to Northpoint. They had 2 pearls, 3 normal and 1 sapphire winter whites. The normal and safyer fits my budget, $20 for a pair. But I didn't ultra like them. The sales guy very smart loh, he said "better buy something you like than something cheap but don't really like" which is very true lah.

Imagine if I bought the grey ones and don't feel shiok, even more waste of money. :P

And so I got a them @ $36 for a pair. Plus the food bowl and the cow head housing, total busted $47.

Total hamster damage almost hit $90. But it's damn cute to sit and watch them play.

Alright, I really needa stay away from this laptop, tmr is my 1st paper already

Tataz~

Sundae needs a pet!

You didn't read me wrong.


When my cousins were here, they had a Syrian hamster in a cage placed on the TV console and Sundae's favourite past time was to stand and watch him. It made her less bored and tired her out in the late evenings as she gets so excited whenever the hamster start running on his wheel that she jumped and jumped non stop just to get a closer view.


Now that all of them are gone, Sundae is looking really bored. Other than when there's food or walks, most of the times she'd just lay around the house and sleep. We've decided to get her pet hamsters!



We decided on the winter white breed, pearl or sapphire is fine but I don't want the normal ones. They're just too normal. :P


So after visiting Chris' parents' place yesterday, we headed down to Serangoon North in search of the hammies and their necessities.


Sundae waiting patiently in her bag while we got ready.


















Crossing the road towards the bus stop



















We've gotten the basic stuffs ready, just short of a food bowl and the pair of hammies.

Ready :
Tank (2nd-hand) - $10
Silent wheel - $8.50
Toilet - $5
Toilet/Bathe sand - $8.90
Food - $4.90
Bottle - $4.90
CornCob bedding (not in pic) - $6.90
Sub-Total - $42.70 (after shop discount)

Need to get :
Food bowl (Daiso) - $2
Pair of Hamsters - $20
Sub-Total - $22


Total - $64.70


Wah! It's like damn expensive when they're all added up together. But on the brighter side, my aunt got the Syrian and all his stuffs at a whopping $130++.

Ta-daaa! This should be comfortable for a pair of dwarfs.




















I'm still considering whether if we should adopt adults or purchase baby ones from shops, and also whether to get 1 or 2 hammies. What do you peeps think, lend me your inputs. Thanks. :)




Being home all day gives me time to try recipes. Hehe! This is Steamed Chicken in D.O.M Liquor and Fried French Bean with Eggs.




















This is for sale. Anyone interested? All the way from the U.S.A. Chris bought the wrong size and Sundae ended looking like a tightly sealed sausage after putting this on. Super wasted can! We liked this so much. Going for SGD$25. Picture doesn't do it justice. Will fit dogs 4kg and below. :) It's about a pampet size 3.

























Lunch, then to the books
