Singapore Adventure: Oh Christmas Tree



It's Christmas at the Cookie house. Presenting our 7-foot Christmas Tree. ^_^



We've never had a tree this tall and so when we had the chance to pick a tree, we went all the way! Hehehe.. Got the tree for 99 SGD at John Little. The ornaments are from Ikea. We stuck to the red and silver Christmas balls. All that's left to put on the tree are those little twinkling lights and we're all set for the holidays.

Singapore Adventure: Coraline



It is one of those days at work when you know you have tons of things to do but just could find the will within yourself to getting it done. That is what today is for me. I am having "that day" today.


And so, in between struggling to get my day's work done and the darker side of wandering aimlessly in the WWW, I've stumbled upon Neil Gaiman's website, which I used to frequent before but has recently been less loyal. There I saw that they are making Coraline into a film! And I was all bright-eyed and just held myself back from leaping with joy.


From Neil's site, he links to this wikipedia page which gives the details of the Theatrical Adaptation of Coraline which features the voice of Dakota Fanning as Coraline.


Based on the Wiki Article it is set to be released on Febuary 2009. It is just a short wait but I am not keeping my hopes up. It might still take sometime after that before it hits the Singapore Theaters. But nonetheless, it is worth the anticipation.


- o0o -


I have had the chance to meet Neil Gaiman in person when he went to the Philippines for The Anansi Boys book tour. I got my Coraline book signed by him and a quick snap.


Photo was taken at the Rockwell Tent in July 2005. Plenty of pounds ago. Hehehe...

Singapore Adventure: My Little Critters






Aren't they the cutest??!
I've received threats of my little critters getting "pet-napped".
And if they do get lost... I know who to chase.
I AM WATCHING YOU! ^_^

Singapore Adventure: 1035 Days


Oh yes, that's how long The Cookies have been together. It has been one great ride, and still going...
My Pet Love. A nice package delivered to my office desk this morning from my sweetest Cookie.
One. Two. Three. Cute little critters. An addition to our "Babies". Sitting on a colorful array of roses and white picket fences.
Right back at you! ^_^
