One last one before 2010 ends! #10 was in Feb 2010! So long ago!

Break in HK > Company Xmas Lunch > Overspent on Jap Mags > My 1st Gakkenflex! > Read a GREAT book > New red anywhere table.

I’m going to take a break before 2011 arrives.
See you all next year!

First saw photos of this house in a home design magazine and it was love at first sight! Love the simplicity and clean lines. And the flooring; I’m big fan of floors that are cement screed finished! An inspiration for our future home. Well, the future is approaching as you read this. Can’t believe its happening! Shall not get overly excited till we found the one. House hunting starts Jan 2011.

What an experience it had been at my debute appearance at ZoukOut! *coughs* Sounds as if I was there to DJ or perform! Ha! I spent more time walking from one entrance to the next than dancing on the sand (which I didn’t quite enjoy). Sand and Claudia just doesn’t gel well together you see.

The night was short and sweet for me. My body was aching and screaming for attention even before midnight. It was still an eye opener for this mountain tortoise who’ve never stepped into ZoukOut for the past 9 years. When I finally get to step into one, its already their 10th anniversary! Can’t believe the Mambo Queen in me waited 10 years to realised how much I’d missed out on. And now I’m just too old to boogie much. Boo!

Me?

Eat. Shoot. Love.

The show is beautiful. Its refreshing and I’m going to do it! Not for a year to exotic places like in the show. Not that I’ll have the money nor courage to. But I am going to do it. Not alone. But with the man I love.

Everyday we wake up to this battle we fight to survive. We eat, work, sleep and sometime (once in a blue moon) gets some love. We face our low and very low. But each time we fight harder and we get stronger. (“Ruined is the beginning of transformation…“) But we forget ourselves. Who we are and what we want in our lives.

I was taught before to always take care of our PIES – Physical, Intellectual, Emotion and Spiritual self. All through my almost 30 years of life, I’ve never done either of these 100%. Never possible.

Few days come December, I’m going to try to do it, at least the PIE. No planning, no schedule, no INTERNET (very important!) and no thinking of work. I’m going to fly away with my love, and enjoy ourselves. I wished for longer getaways, but the battle we fight waits for no one. It just has to go on. Hiding it or running away from it for a couple of days is surely possibly.

We’re going to Eat. Shoot. Love.

And when we’re back? It’ll be Eat. Work. and more Work. Then of course, there’s the wedding to plan.

Life’s not going to be the same (I hope) since I met Sol. Lesser shots with the iPhone 4, more shots with Sol. That’ll also means more photo posts with short blurbs here on this blog. Sorry if my mundane life bores you. Well this is me.

I am sooooo pissed!!! Cleared up the photos in my hdd to make space for more photos so I removed all albums from iPhoto. Not knowing that the flickr albums when deleted from iPhoto also means deleting from flickr, I removed it. And now I have NO way to get it back!

I’ve got too many of these showing on my blog now!! THIS IS DEPRESSING!!!

I do have all the original photos still in my backups but the pain is not the uploading part! Imagine going through all my blog posts to embed all the photos again!! I won’t even know which photos were used lah! This is the GREATEST FAIL in my digital life! I HATE YOU iPHOTO!!!!

I’m never going to sync iPhoto to flickr ever again! No matter how great your integration is going to be.

We believe, we were meant to be. And it’s been 7 lovely years with more to come as we move on to the next stage of our life on 26 Nov 2011. Knowing the craziness to happen come November next year, I planned to have a lovely celebration for us, for the last time in our singlehood. This time next year, we’ll have to start getting used to circling the “Married” option on forms and introducing us as husband and wife. Need time to get used to that!

Being the practical and budget couple, very rare we splurge on a fancy dinner. Trust me, I can count the number of times with my fingers! So a romantic dinner was planned at House @ Dempsey. First for us to have dinner at Dempsey. He loves the decor at House, but the food was alright. Favourite were the DIY skinny pizza and truffle fries (Clifford’s fries were better though).

Just a quiet night alone. Only for couple hours, but I like it how its just us.

Happy 7th Year Anniversary Abang! MUACK!
