Lil' Twinkle~

An email came into my inbox today with the subject line as per my blog title. Of a glance I did not open it as I quickly assume its some cute emails from my cousin. Not wanting to wait for it to load up, I just left it there.

After lunch, I open my inbox again and the subject line just seems to cry out for me to open.. it's the only email I have not read. I am glad I did. It's actually an email from my beloved cousin whom they have set up an online webpage for lil' kiddies stuffs.. ITS SOO CUTE!!

I'm not doing this in hope to get the free "toddler safety harness backpack" but merely out of love and support. Besides, I don't even know who reads my blog :p

Anyway, here's the link http://www.lil2twinkle.blogspot.com/

They have everything a toddler would possibly need, fashion wise :)

As much as I am eager to be a patron myself... perhaps I will.. it seems like a pretty good buy for a gift too.

The blog is easy to search, plenty of selection to choose from, items are arrange according to category and prices are reasonable.. there's all to take and nothing to loose. Hmmm... if only I have such pretty blogs for my own products... *in deep thoughts*

None the less I have attached some screen shots of the web here.. have a look! You never know if you may find something you need there!

Making the difference

I realise how relatively mundane my life is everyday, Mon - Sun, 24 hours a day.

As I set this very moment, I wish to change my own thinking and ways to make everyday a brand new day. Not that its something new or a big resolution, but at least I should make up to what has passed me by.

Am I able to sustain what I have promised to myself? I hope so...

CNY is here soon

With just merely 2 weeks away, everyone is rushing for the CNY preparation.

Last weekend me and MT met up with Danny, Ling Ling and little Elsa together with Aunty Steph for Dim Sum at where else but Ah Yat. Manage to make a stop at Chinatown to grab a few goodies just before meeting them. The street is painted in red lanterns and festive deco.. a very warm and homely feel knowing CNY is just around the corner. Long queues waiting outside Lim Chee Guan's shop while the rest spread out to Fragrance and Bee Cheng Hiang's shop. With all the new flavours and packing, one cannot resist but to be carried away with alittle here and there.

Me and MT bought BBQ sliced pork (a.k.a Bak Kwa as they call it in S'pore), pork floss and some other goodies. $48 for a kilo of BBQ sliced pork! At least its still the same price as last year. Passed by some house decor and can't help but to think that this year's mascot, the BULL looks awfully similar to the PIG. Perhaps the cartoonish look of it makes all zodiacs look alike. I still prefer the good ol' decor... forever classic and never out of style :P

I have yet to start on the tid-bits corner.... yummmy~* melon seeds, sugar coated gummies, assorted cookies of shape, size and taste... i'm starting to drool as I think.. This year I am spared from all the CNY shopping as my MIL will be doing most of the necessary ones. However I am looking forward to visiting the orchard nearer to CNY for some fresh blooms :)

Haven't paid the bank a visit to get all the crisp clean bank notes.. I wonder if it will be too crowded if I delay abit more?

Happy New Year - 2009!

Happy New Year everyone..

2009 has started off with a BANG!

Am so happy that all the wedding prep is over and done now. Dad gave us all a short lecture on our family history and urge me and MT to start a family soon. Since my dad only had 2 children, so the possibility of our generation should either be 1 or none.. :p ( it even rhymes~) None the less, when the time comes, so does the baby... no hurry!

Talking about hurry, why am I feeling no urgency to welcome CNY at all? Is it true that the festive mood dies off as you aged? I still look forward to CNY though I have to start giving out angpows instead of collecting them now.. perhaps its the surrounding factors.. no decor, no songs, no festive cookies... none of them makes any day a dull day. This year will also be the 1st year that I will not be having reunion dinner in KL.. but another family awaits for me here in SG :)

Work is still pretty slow at the moment though some are trying to catch up lost time during the x'mas holidays and also to meet up before the CNY holidays. As usual, sitting next to my dear neighbour won't make my day any worse than it already is :p

Another week to go and we will be stepping in to another 1st for us.. our 1st home. Our appointment is set next Saturday and everything else will be history. My lease will end in March and the timing couldn't be more accurate than it already is.

Anyway, look out for more pics to come on Facebook!

It's December already?

Before you knew it, it's already December and X'mas day has passed us by. A few more days later and we will be stepping into 2009 and filing 2008 into the cabinets. How much have you accomplished in the year 2008? Are you ready to start 2009 with a big bang?

2008 pretty much says what the blog meant. A new start, a new journey. Mike and I tied the knot in Sept this year and we secured ourselves a place to call home in November. We look forward to 2009 to lay our hands on the keys to our home hopefully by mid March. If everything goes as planned, we should be able to moved in by May. All our efforts on issues over issues of "Home and Decor" will soon be put into place. Our place :)

Just a stone throw away from where we currently are staying won't make much a differences in terms of relocating. But it is a step forward to a new journey. A continuation to what we have started.

Everything is alittle different now. It may take me a while to fit in into the family's traditions and values. Though I am starting to miss all those at home, I am also looking forward to what's install for me as Mrs Tang.

2009.. here I come...

Long awaited updates

It has been months if not longer since we/I last updated our/my blog. My apologies for this long delay.

Since Sept till now, both Mike & I have been busy with meeting deadlines at work, right after our short trip to Vietnam and Bangkok. We started harassing cam hoarders for those beautiful pics of me *blink blink* which till today still have yet to received all of them.. I sometimes wonder if its a good thing or bad to have so many photographers at any given time.

After the wedding, I have been simultaneously changing my life in order to adapt to my new found title as Mrs Tang, wife, and daughter-in-law. My answer is still very much the same if you ask me now.. "Nothing much changed". Perhaps being away from home to work in Singapore has prep me way before I needed it. None the less, I'm glad of how things turn out the way it is.

We have firm up our decision on a place we will call home and will be the proud owner of a 4-room flat probably by mid March next year. Things could not have been set at a better time for us. Though the downturn in economy have set a gloomy mood for everyone, this is probably the only way for us to realise the things which are true and important in life.

Life will be harder as everyone predicts the worse to come next year. Am I ready? I don't know. I wish I could tell you what I have planned for the years to come. It's just not the right time to execute it yet. It may or may not happen as I planned it to be.

For what I am sure now is that I will have to prepare for my next wedding banquet in KL. Thanks to my parents, I have the luxury of just being the guest of honour at my own wedding reception in KL. Hehe.... But before that, lets just enjoy X'mas to end the year 2008 and welcome 2009 with a smile (^^)
