L-shaped Sofa


We got this L-shape settee set for a reasonable price from Lorenzo...well, there are other cheaper ones around but we've already search for a long while before finally settling for this. We weren't looking for an L-shaped one but it turns out to fit in our living nicely. Of course the one on display was much better looking in white (see photo below), but the cost was a few hundred more. We figured, we didn't need the white as it could get dirty easily.

White
Vs.
Kuih Lapis


But, we didn't expect the colour we picked to turn out this way either. My brother said that it looked like a gigantic kuih lapis (layered cake) : ( Oh well, as long as it's comfortable and our visitors liked sitting on it....hehe..they had to sit on the floor before this...

Best of all, it was a gift from sis....though she just contributed the cash and left us to select our own : )

Our next target...a dining set, yep, we're still having our meals on the floor.

Cheongsam in Turquoise


Never knew what a Qipau was until recently (the last few months to be exact)...now I do...Qipau = Cheongsam. This particular one was a gift from my cousin two years ago but just didn't have the time to send it for alterations. I finally did and decided to use it for our wedding day...

Jingle to A New Year...

Christmas signifies the end of the year and lots of holidays, of course....we went up Genting for a day trip a week before the x'mas break....thought of going up during the long weekend but knew that it will be too packed...even on a normal weekend, the place is already full of people (must be the school holidays -.-)

The weather was good, cooling with lots of mists....there was nothing much to do except for visiting the casino and the theme park. Food is definitely pricier than normal, double i would say...


This artist actually caught my attention as he was sketching a lilttle boy's eyes....it looked so real, dark, dazzling eyes, sharper than the actual eyes...hehe....

Was wondering how long the boys had to sit there waiting for their potrait....but, he was so quick that I think they only had to be there for a good 10 minutes....anyway, we did not wait for him to finish...there were other things to see....


This x'mas, I got a bear from an exchange gift steamboat session....adding Chris (yes, that's his name, short for Christmas) to my babies collection. Our budget was supposed to be RM15 but I think this buyer's got a bit more generosity....

Hundred years of blissful togetherness


This wedding couple doll was a gift from our reception guests. We actually wanted to get something like this on our own but remembered sis mentioning that this kind of stuff should come as a present from others...happy that it's ours now....thanks to our thoughtful guest.

Our wedding lamp is so-called traditional as we did not want an electric or battery operated one. But, it's not an ordinary oil lamp either as we couldn't get it to lit with oil alone....had to use turpentine instead.


Night shot of our lamp in action!


Then, there's our wedding car decoration using flowers bought earlier...


More flowers...classic cream rose hand bouquet....with berries added to our request...berries thrown in FREE from the florist : )



And...shoes to match...bought at the very last minute. Not that I did not buy any earlier....bought too many in fact, but, prefer using this comfy low platform pair.
