Singapore Adventure: Welcome to Marsiling

At around 1:30 pm today, 3 November, the Cookies have successfully touched down at the Marsiling house.

There are still a lot to unpack, but setting up the internet connection first is a must! Hehehe..

And so, we are wired, literally. The wi-fi router we still need to fetch from the Starhub Center at Funan in 8 days.

Hopefully by tomorrow, all is unpacked and the house more homey.

The kitchen is definitely going to be very busy in the next couple of days. I miss my cooking expeditions. And now with my own kitchen, I can try out new and more exciting recipes. With my Prince Cookie as the guinea pig. Bwahaha... >:)

In the next hour, we need to do a quick trip to Ikea and Giant to get supplies. Whoa! It is definitely a long day.

Wish List: Xtreme Magic Sing X18K

This is what I want for Christmas! This will be at the top of my Christmas shopping list when I get home. Hehehe...

And hopefully, our new neighbors won't mind me belting it out. Bwahahaha...

Singapore Adventures: Steaming Bowl of Chicken Sopas

I can't think of any other way to end the (borderline disaster) Monday I just had.

I woke up this morning wishing that it is still the weekend. And to my dismay, I'd wait another week for it. And as if Monday is not bad enough, it is a rainy Monday morning at that. Cold bath water. Sheesh... What a way to begin the day, right?

And as if the opening scenes of my Monday morning could get worse, it actually did.

The minute I closed the door of my room, I remembered that I needed the umbrella. So, I opened the door again, went in to get it. Then locked my room's door behind me.

As I was already on my way out the door, I suddenly needed to go to the bathroom. When I pulled my zipper up, it bailed on me. Oh shoot! So, I had to go back into the room and change.

Finally, out the door. Good thing, I did not forget to take out my trash. Saved me some minutes there.

The train ride to work wasn't bad. Could have cheered me up a little had I found a seat. But I can't complain. I found a good spot.

At getting to the office, there were tons of work to do. And it further sucked when what should have been completed and done already had to be revisited and reworked. Arrgh! And so, I worked all full 10 hours. Had my lunch at almost 1:30pm and left the office past 8 pm already. So not me!!!

Good thing, Capt. Jet waited up on me. Or I would have not contained my tears. I am just so tired.

The steaming bowl of my chicken sopas did the trick of brushing my Monday blues away. But I am bracing myself for tomorrow. Just the thought of the work that will welcome me when I get to the office makes me wince.

And did I mention that the thought of Cookie Time being only 6 days away keeps me going ... and going... and going...? Sounds like the Energizer rabbit. Hahaha....

I'm just trying to cheer myself up. Please bear with me.

Singapore Adventure: My Pretty Craft Punches

Last night, I finished Baby Meg's Guest Book. And so, that little craft project is done. I am glad. :)

While I am already cleaning up, I noticed, I have already gathered up quite a number of craft paraphernalias. I am looking spefically at my craft punches. And it surprises me, I actually have several already. Most of which I purchased here. I only had one bought from home - the Carl Christmas Tree punch, which costed a fortune.

Well, the other things costed a bit expensive, too, even from here. But I guess the circumstances for me have changed and so I can afford them now with little hesitation. Hehehe...

Hopefully, I can continue building my little box of craft knickknacks while I learn some more new techniques for my hobby.

Singapore Adventure: Guest Book for Baby Meg's Shower

I am invited to attend a colleagues Baby Shower on the weekend. Instantly, at the receipt of the invite, I suddenly had that feeling... This occasion calls for a craft project. :)

I instantly got several ideas of what would be nice to give Cza - the Mommy to be, on this special occasion for her little princess Simone Margareth a.k.a. Meg. But due to the inavailability of photos, I decided it to be just a small "guest book". Well, note cards where Baby Meg's guests can jot down well wishes for her, and her mommy and daddy.

I decided the theme to be pink. Of course, it's for a baby girl. Hehehe... But in fairness, I also asked Mommy Cza if pink is a good idea, and she gave a nod. ;)

I have completed 3 pages already - the cover page and two other pages to write messages in. The cover page is the picture on the left of this paragraph.

So cute! Hehehe...

The other pages will contain the text Simone Margareth at the left bottom corner, some baby quotes in some random place on the page, and embellishments in the shade of pink. As shown in the next two photographs.

Can't wait to finish the project. Well, I NEED to finish it by tomorrow, in time for Saturday. Baby Shower happens at lunch time that day. Wish me luck. And cheer me on. ;)
