CNY greetings...

"Happy lunar new year! May your eggs be fully utilised!"

Thanks, Ms MD. I will work towards a dozen piglets. (hmmm...)

Festively busy

After slacking last week, I had to work doubly hard this weekend to get our place ready for Chinese New Year. There were toilets to scrub, windows to clean, dining chairs and table to polish, cupboards to dust and wipe, floor to vacuum and mop, that disgusting mold on my leather sofa to rid off (I warned my hubby about getting a leather sofa! Why couldn't we have one with covers I can remove for washing?!)...and of course loads of laundry to wash and iron. Tired. *bleah* Anyway, I'm happy to have gotten most of my CNY goodies (quite a few handmade by my mother-in-law which I have starting chomping on already! Her pineapple tarts are sooo good!:P) and my CNY decor (including two cute piggies) is up to usher in the year of the piggy! Now, the next step is to pack those ang baos (red packets)...$$$!!!

Pan's Labyrinth

Probably the best Spanish film I have watched to date. Love the spin at the end (guess it could be perceived as both a happy and sad ending). Wish my Espanol was better. Hard to concentrate on the movie and subtitles at the same time. Anyway, I just realised the official website contains the entire soundtrack - go check it out! And make sure you go rent the DVD if you haven't caught the movie already! :)

Lazy Sunday

I didn't do any housework today. Didn't feel like it. Instead, hubs and I headed to Vivocity in the morning. We had You Tiao (fried fritters) with soya bean curd at Food Republic for breakfast. Watched a movie ("Babel" which was good but it made me a little sad). Returned to Food Republic for their claypot laksa (pricey but yummy!). Bought a book from Page One (my favourite bookshop for now) and then returned home and slept the remaining afternoon away...
Lazy but happy!
