Second SP Parcel

In my previous post, I had mentioned that I had received my SP parcel.

Yeah I received my second SP parcel before 2007. This parcel did not fail to brighten my day. I consists of a book, a chocolate, two skeins of lace weight yarn and a snowman figurine.


The parcel got injured on its way here. Luckily the things are still intact.




A family photo of the items :)

The card with the snow man. My fave christmas character.

My first german Christmas card

A german flavour chocolate which my hb finished all

The lovely lace weight yarn

A book on sexy little knits. I had shortlisted some projects again. But I had not idea when I would start those projects. ;)

Thanks pal. I love this parcel. I am waiting patiently for my final parcel now.

Time to do some planning

Although it is going to be mid of Jan 2007, I think it is still not too late to make some planning for the rest of the eleven months in 2007.

Similarly we are going to attending quite a number of wedding dinners this year and most importantly a number of them are our close friends. Congratulations and best wishes to all!! I would need to start to save money liao and also plan about my career.

Wishes for 2007
- Everyone is happy my family members as well as my friends
- Strike lottery. :)

I also hope that I would be spending more quality time with my family members and friends.

As for crafts, I had a lot of items on my to-do list.
But the top 10 items on my to-do list are:
- A simple bag for my friend's birthday
- Diamond Fantasy Shawl
- Lotus Bossom tank
- Hb's vest
- Clapotis
- Mum's shrug/cardigan
- Ruffles bag
- Complete my green tank top
- Complete my crochet shrug

I had took out 3 ball of different to start on my projects. :)

Besides knitting/crochet, I also do other crafts like jewellery as well. On top, I am trying to pick up clay now. Well I just simply love to do pick up new skills for crafts. Yeah!

As for family planning (which a lot of friends and relatives are asking me), just let it takes its own course. :)

A Nice Local flavor dinner

r&r organised a nice local flavor dinner for me at satay club at Sembawang before my 2006 birthday. Thank you so much. The food were nice despite that there were long queue.


This is the first time i tried kado kado. It is something like rojak a mixture of vegetables, beans, crackers, bean curd etc and with satay smell on top.

Malay fried noodles - This was nice. It was more of spicy as compare to some other stall which were sweet.

These are barbecue sticks of chicken, beef or lamb meat. Come along with satay sauce to dip in.


Besides all these, we ordered fried rice as well but not pictures for it. As by the time all the food were here we were too hungry.

After that we also headed to another stall for tea tarik ( tea with milk).

Thank you.

Stay tune for more

Happy New Year to all!!!

This is the first post of 2007. But I had tonnes of back logs entry from 2006. I would update them as soon as possible. I had problems accessing the blogger for the past few days. I got so fedup with Internet Explorer and I downloaded firefox to try and "YES" it works. I can access my blogger now. Think it has something to do with my cookies setting. But it is the end of the long holidays I am going to back to work tomorrow.

The long holidays have definitely give me a good time to rest but at the same time making me lazy to go to work. Talking about work, I had a lot of stuff to clear too. Guess I really need to work hard in order to have a long and nice Chinese New Year in Feb 19 (which is the next public holiday).

I had a fun time during this holidays. I received my second parcel for SP (would provide more updates soon). I finished a FO before 2007 *blink blink* I had also make some small little items. I had dug out my Spring Fling to work on it again. My brother is back from Canada and I had my gifts. I received great birthday and Christmas gifts too. AND a lot more to update. I would update them soon. :) Stay tune :P

My special day

It marks the day where I passed my mid of twenty, another phase of my life. It makes me ponder more about my retirement. Should we try to save more money and grow more money so that we can retire earlier? Work is such a routine job. Maybe I should consider switching soon. Opps…

My day started off with a nice lunch at jacks’ place. As Hb says the other day that ”it’s a long time since we lasted went to Jack’s place to eat”, hence I decided to treat him with lunch there. The price is pretty reasonable. Both of us had a grilled fish set (consists of soup with a slice of garlic bread, the grilled fish, a slice of cake and a cup of tea). It costs me less than $20 for 2. ;) *No pixs taken for this*

Then we head off to kinokuniya. I intend to get some knitting books. BUT I end up with some fashion magazine instead. We also went to borders but did not manage to finish any books tat I wanted. Really wondering is knitting really that popular nowsaday or there isn't any demand for the books anymore. :( As it was raining super heavily, we went to the MacCafe to drink cappuccino. Enjoy the cool and wet weather.

The sky was so dark. But it was still a happy day for me.

Before we head off a dinner, I had a surprise gift. A wallet .

Dinner is at The line at Shangri-La hotel. The variety of food is good and the price is definitely good too. As the place is not really that easily accessible, I thought that it would not be crowded who know the place is almost full. Luckily I keep reminding hb to make reservations. The deco of the place is very nice with white and orange color. The cakes and pastry look super nice.

This was just a portion of the dessert. :)

We ate for about 3 hours before we decide to go home. Note: The table besides us had already served 3 different groups of diners. *LOL* It was still raining when we headed home. Although it is a raining day, my day is not gloomy at all.

Pinky

N72 is what I had for my birthday pressie. Thank dear I love the phone. It is a pink color phone. Hb has been doing researching on which handphone suits me more. My current handphone is giving me problems with the screen. Hence it is time to change one. After more research, hb think that I should have a camera that has at least 2MB as I had to take picture for my blog. With a good handphone camera, I would not have to take my camera around. Thanks dear thank you. I love the phone and I decide to name the handphone pinky.

I decide to take a pix of my icarus to show the progress. Here is it. Hopefully I can finish it soon. *Keeping my fingers crossed*

New Workplace

Well I finally had moved or rather stationed at my client's place. I would say I really MISSED my previous client. LOL although the previous client place is rather inconvenient but it has a nicer working environment, better PC, has Internet access, using MSN is legal, free coffee etc.

NOW I had a not so good computer, a very small area for 3 of us to squeeze in and NO internet access. I had to forgo the idea of using MSN in office for the next few months or years but this is not the main issue. The main issue is that I cannot find any information whenever i need to and I might need to note them down and find them only at night.

Hmm, but there are 2 plus points of this client's place. (1) location is more central meaning i can meet up with my friends easier. But do i still have the time to meet my friends after work as the project goes on? I really don't know. (2) There is a cafeteria meaning I can go for tea break. yeah!!! Similarly i need to ask myself do i have the luxury or time to go? Sighz..
