Met dear at Millenia Walk. Dear had booked this tickets last year...super kiasu huh. Initially I thought it'll be for v'day (happened to peeped this in his email account). Hehe. It was a fast but nice ride..managed to catch part of the sunset view..then it was dinner at Popeyes! Yummilicious fried chicken..so much better than KFC.

After dinner, we proceeded to Marina Square where I began my birthday spreeee. After numerous failed attempts to get me a gift I like, dear decided to let me choose my own pressies instead. This year, I get to have 28 presents since I am turning 28. The first one was given 2 months back..the WII Fit board! So I went on a quick round of shopping spree since the shops will be closing soon. Bought 2 clothes from M|phosis and ended the night with a free birthday firehouse from Swensens! Thumbs up to Swensens for this great birthday treat!

Day 2 started around noon cos dear refuses to get out of bed. We wanted to visit bugis followed by orchard but ended up only have enough time for bugis cos we need to rush off to somewhere else for dinner. Bought a few tops and dress. Dear surprised me with a beautiful dress and shoes that I could wear to dinner later..yippeee...but I am too fat for the dress i guess..sad..need to diet.

Dinner was at a beautiful place...food was average...luckily I ordered a fish dish which is not too bad. The main surprise came after dinner when dear brought me to Science Centre...the memory of the Snow City event still stays...so I thought we're going there again..but nope..dear brought me to the observatory where we got to see Jupiter via the telescope. Cool!! First time I see a real planet!! Now I am a space fanatic..can't wait to get my own telescope soon...

On sat, we went back home cos the workers are coming to dismantle some stuff..din know we have so much stuff that can savage...dear took almost everything that can be taken..haha..his logic..dun waste. Now our house is almost empty..just like when we first got it...reno starts in 11 days...can't wait!!

Unveiling our dream kitchen

After nights of cracking my brain, we managed to come up with the ideal design for our kitchen which looks great and also practical..we even purchased a dishwasher from a online seller last night...at a great price..best thing is I managed to sell off some items and it helped to cover some of the cost..hopefully i'll be able to sell off more things to replenish the cost for the dish washer..the washer looks great..just hope that it'll work as well.

Our fridge and new dishwasher will be concealed inside this cabinet so that the kitchen will not look cluttered.

The full glass wall gives the feeling of space but yet keeps the smoke and oil in from the cooking. So i won't have to worry about mopping the whole house when i do some serious cooking..yippeee...
Photobucket

Decided to do away with the initial bar counter and switch to a counter at the end of the kitchen where we can sit for a quick breakfast, enjoy the balcony's view with our rabbits hoping around and do some work on our laptop. Cool~

Tiles Selected

A tap which we're lemming for...quite ex..$148...and not sure if our sink can fit..hope that we can find something similar and cheaper at Poh Joo.

Silly dear insisted to be included in this pic...this will be our MBR toilet wall tile.
Photobucket

Common toilet wall tile..silly dear again. Ok, you can use your face to clean the toilet tiles in future..hahaha..
Photobucket

Homogenous floor tiles for the whole house..not the whitest..but its the best we could find. Still kinda sad we can't afford the super white glass tiles..

Kitchen ideas

In the effort to create a non-conventional kitchen for our house, we will be doing a full height cabinet in the kitchen..my idea is to hide all clutter..including our fridge which is kinda out of the way into this cabinet. A waste cos our F&P fridge looks quite nice..but i still prefer a simple and clean look for the house.

Will be using black tinted mirror..but the normal mirror effect looks good as well. Anyway I found out price difference not much..so will be using black mirror so that it matches our black glass backsplash.

New family members

We welcomed 5 new members into our family some time back. Unfortunately one of them couldn't make it... :(. But nevertheless, we still have 4 little bundle of joy with us.

Can you recognise who they come from?

Yup...they belong to Cookie & Oreo...but strangely there's only one pure white and one pure black in the pack..the rest all look like cookie. No wonder they say children takes after their mother's looks. The pure black little one couldn't survive..but we're glad the rest all survived and are all healtly growing. They'll soon take over our entire balcony and we will see dozens of rabbits hoping around..hehe..just kidding.
