Nice and Warm-ed!

After two consecutive weeks of housewarming parties, our humble abode is pretty much warmed up!

Tho' I can't invite everyone I know to our housewarming parties, I would like to do a little show-and-tell on the favourite spots at home...

Greeting everyone at the entrance is my shoe rack and "
Like A Bird!"

I bought this Threadless wall decal from Blik. Perhaps green cushion can better portray the scene of animals roaming on the savanna... but wouldn't it be a lil' yucky? Heh... ;-p

An Edvard Munch's "
Starry Night" poster, encased in acrylic frame, can be found in the living room. One of his famous painting is "The Scream". We bought this poster from Munch Museum in Oslo, during the TOML.

In our living room, we also have a green carpet. It looks like fresh green grass of the soccer pitch, breathing life into the house.

A tea set sits at the corner of our balcony. Nothing like a relaxing cup of tea under the shiny moonlight. :-) We have only tried doing that once so far. Hah.

My favourite room is the study room. Some people mistaken it as a meeting room as it is big enough to accommodate a conference table. I like the generous working surface. The study room is also where my fun decals are. These custom-made Pac-man and Space Invaders decals are from Modishop. They have a shop in Suntec, but never open during the past few times we visited it. But they do free house surveys, and they were kind enough to help me stick on the "Like A Bird!" decal from Blik.

A bookshelf separates the study room at the living room. The books can be seen through the frosted glass above the TV console, in the living room.

The bookshelf is far from filled yet. Hopefully, two of the shelves can soon be filled with giant tennis ball of the two other grand slams!

In the dining area, we have a nice wall clock from hOurStyle. The green bamboo brings a serene feel to the room, telling time and decorating the blank white walls.

Adjacent to it is my kitchen. My wife loves it! You gotta have a nice kitchen to encourage your wife to cook regularly. ;-)

Bathrooms are probably one of places in flat where we are most relaxed after a tired day. Thus, I put in place something which I enjoy alot - the rain shower! It's similar to the ones in gyms, but probably better - it comes with the hand shower as well!

In the common bathroom, I have the mosaic feature. Nice?

Finally, comes to my bedroom. Before that, a special mention of this Turkish Kilim! It is a gift from my buddies of the memorable trip to Turkey last year! It is finally put to good use! Thank you!

It is said that the wedding photo should not be hanged at the bed head. We heeded this advice and found some inspiration from Blik to decorate it. This time, we stick it on ourselves!

So far, it has been really wonderful staying in our new flat. The renovation had caused some holes in our pocket, the maintenance and chores (cleaning twice per week and ~3 hours each time) are such a hassle. But... it is all worthwhile! We are determined to keep the condition of the house as good as we can, for as long as we can. At the end of the day, the joy and satisfaction are tremendous. Welcome to my home! =)

The Bridal Dowry.

The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

Shopping for Perfume.

If you want to buy original but cheaper perfume in Singapore, you'd probably go to Lucky Plaza . You can bargain at the perfume shops in Lucky Plaza which is the exact reason why anyone would wanna shop at Lucky Plaza. I went there with a friend to shop for some perfume this afternoon. It was a shopping experience I never had before in Singapore. As a matter of fact, never before in my life or anywhere in the world. I usually visit the two shops near McDonald's . Today we decided check out another shop since we had walked from the "Lucky Plaza - Ngee Ann City underpass". We had in mind one of the brand we wanted. So after asking the price, we looked for the 2nd bottle of brand, but at a lower budget. We tested three, can't decide and asked for recommendation from the boss, an Indian lady (not being racist, its just the fact it happened to be an Indian shop). She showed me a black face (no pun intended! heh ) and said my budget was too low. She probably wasn'...

If you have it, just flaunt it.

Its such a lousy day, I have decided to blog another entry. Yesh, I am thinking about things other than my last two papers on Thurs and Friday. Something probably talked alot before by many people... What is it with men and women with 可爱-oooii *杨丞琳's voice* face, long tresses, slim legs, curvey body, in revealing tight clothes (only for those with the former characteristics), in pink. Why are men so attracted to those features? The guy is lying if he says he will not turn his head when he sees women with those features. I think it has nothing to do with men being lustful or anything disgusting. It probably has something to do with the genes, the hormones. I don't believe it has to do with things like its men's nature instinct to look for partners who can reproduce blahblahblah. That's so boring! Its something mysterious, something that let men derives pleasure by just looking openly, without doing anything bad or harmful or immoral. Do women ogle at men all the time too...
