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. :-)

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...

Resolutions 2012.

While my one-year-old is going for his first steps, I am also learning to walk (again). 2011 was full of ups and downs.  I was promoted for the 2nd time in my first job. Not fantastic but not bad either after six years. The challenging issues justifies for the few more dollars increment to the stipend. Murphy is my good friend. With only the final milestone left, I hope to overcome all odds and pull the rabbit outta the hat in 2012! If I am lucky, I may run another project.  For the consecutive year, I expended all my medical leave. After hearing my story, some may say 父爱是伟大的. Some may think I was pure clumsy. As my son likes to watch basketball playing, I decided to show him how to do it myself. At first I felt good, I got it plenty of shots. Unfortunately, I broke my ACL while chasing after the ball. It has been two months and my knee is still weak and hurts occasionally. I plan to go for surgery in 2012, while performing the balancing act of pulling the rabbit and recup...
