Princess Poofy's Queendom

This was the initial picture of paddy and crabby. Paddy was found a month ago, torn in half floating in the small container. Then today, we came back to find crabby missing, sans shell, from the tank on the kitchen counter! Had gave him up as dead and eaten by some bird, only to find him crushed into small bits under my chair in the study! Now i dunno if i've killed my hermit crab. :( and how it got so far?! :(

What's your favorite time of day and why?

Sunrise from space

 I love the hazy grey of dawn, especially when one wakes up - suspended in the warm light of the day, and the dark and cool lure of dreams. I love to just open 1 eye, take a peek around the room and snuggle deeper into the darkness.

I want my bed!

Baby Lullabies

Obvious what mood I am in now right?

 “I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him.”
 Mark Twain quote

[Suitable for my mortal enemies...]

 “It takes two to quarrel, but only one to end it.”
 Spanish Proverb quotes

[Like real...]

" A married couple are well suited when both partners usually feel the need for a quarrel at the same time.”
 Jean Rostand quotes

[Sure, we just go into "cold war" together}

"Anger is a brief madness.”
 Horace quotes

[What a good excuse...]

“Anger ventilated often hurries toward forgiveness; and concealed often hardens into revenge”
 Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton quotes

[Very true...]
 

“The only antidote to anger is to eliminate the internal sentence, "If only you were more like me”

[Why not? If people were alike, maybe there would be more understanding and less misunderstandings and second guessing]

“In the midst of great joy do not promise to give a man anything; in the midst of great anger do not answer a man's letter”
 Chinese Proverbs quotes

[In this day and time, it's work emails...]

Feels like slamming the door endlessly!
 

Feeling rather erratic at the moment...  This is not a good week at work and again, it's just Tues!

pregnancy sepia hands holding Abdomen

Well, I think, I am most looking forward to this, and also dreading it the most: " Being pregnant".

Cuz...

- I want to be a mother

- I want to have a kid

- I want to leave a legacy

But...

- I am scared of the pain

- I am scared that I cannot lost the weight

- I am scared that I can't be a good mother and bring up my kid well

Sheesh... I shall think more abt this when it comes =) "what will be, will be"...

Haven't been leaving office in light for a while. For first time in a while, i managed to concentrate and finished 2 reports in a day! :) haven't been shopping for a while in Sg as well. I dun want to miss the gss! ;) but first, shall go home for a good rest.

1. One of my pet hermit crab died yesterday - violently I think.

I came back to find half of him (?) floating in the water. Now there's just this one crab left.

No idea if this other one will live for long.

2. A fat thing in office decided he has lived enough and wants to step on my tail. I want to tie him up, use a small sharp knife and cut off his excess loose flab 1 small piece at a time...

3. The people in our THAT station either dun understand English, or dunno what is "download and send me the file". I keep getting printscr from this person, and this is NOT the first time !

Watching a fund raising show on cable now for the sichuan quake. Really heart wrenching and sad, lifes snuffed and destroyed just like that. Another generation of ppl just gone. Look bottom right, that bug just stop flying and stayed to watch andy lau sing.

Finished 1 round of ironing, the load is scary since we had the build up post the trip. My neck is still killing me.. -___- Oh joy...

(I love the uploader in general; it does make uploading loads easier.)

So we drove into ADL, after a gruelling 14 hours drive by Hubby. The room at Hilton was good; the toiletries were from Crabtree & Evelyn and there was a pillow menu. =) Had a nightcap with Hubby's best bud, only to conclude we are old and somehow, our lives aren't exactly lived to the max per day...

The next day, we walked around ADL's Central Market. It isn't as big and neat as MEL, but what it does have are lots of Asian food stores and supermarkets. There is no way one can miss home here cuz the imported Asian stuff are cheaper than back home! We could really live here, now we just need AUD 0.7M to get a decent place to stay and jobs. Le sigh...

Then SC ended his round at the hospital, and took us sight-seeing ard ADL.

We saw the churches and museum, went to his house (very nice, and that cute lemon was from the plant they didn't like), we also went to Rundell Mall to see the famous pigs, as well as the Glenelg Beach (superb view and sunset).

Then we headed to have very nice steak at a Argentinian steak house. That's us, with SC and his wife, YJ. =)

The following day was spent with wine expert to Barossa Valley to learn the fine art of wine tasting and appreciation. The weather was fab, and we had lots of fun wandering along the windy roads.

We went to many cellar doors / wineries like Jacob Creek (sux), Rockford (v gd), 2 Hands (gd) , Charles M (gd), etc.  for tasting... and got a lot of wines back! Dun ask, but we managed to get all of them back ;)

I think I will stick with the sweet vintage ports and the sweet muscatos for now. Hopefully we will graduate to the next level of appreciating the tanin reds.

Also went to Maggie Beers to get yummy pate and had a small picnic of Greek yoghurt under the trees. This really was life! =)

We ended the day at Wolf Blass and took in the sunset. Then it was back to ADL itself for some organic pizzas (very interesting) dinner. Then it was dessert and back to pack every darn things in to get ready for the haul home!

Somehow, the oceania region always recharges and refresh the work weary us. When we were there, there's just blue skies, great produce and good eats, wind in the hair and clean, crisp air. It really helps that we have XM in NZ and SC in OZ. The lifestyle and focus in life suit us just fine...

Time to plan for the next holiday! I am set for Eastern Europe at end Sept. So I just need a filler for till then and another for the rest of the year, thereafter.
