As promised, here's the weird looking angry cat for Tough Girl 101 also known as Kat. Kat, let me know what you think. If you don't like it, we can start over with the design and make another one.

I made my first sale on http://www.etsy.com right before Chinese New Year. It's really rewarding and it made me feel so good. What a good way to start the new year eh?

Don't ask me why but I love to hoard my old socks even the ones that are ugly, super lose and has already discoloured. It's so habitual that I had to bring them with me when I moved from Malaysia to Seattle. Yes, you can call me siao.

Nah, just kidding! I didn't hack them into pieces but I did cut them up and stitch them back into something else. I cut up a pair of my old socks and a pair of my new socks and

TADA!

(The big one is named DugaDuga and the small one is named GupGup)

A little something something that I designed and make while I was buried at home under the snow

That's our future room and DIY renovation is in progress. We have been working on it for a month now and hopefully it'll be completed in another 3 weeks time. I can't wait to move in because I love love love to have my own bathroom. The little wooden door in the 1st picture is the door to my own little bathroom. :D. We have another wooden door that leads to the rest of the house and a glass panel sliding door that opens up to the backyard. Cool huh?

Anyway here's the work we've accomplished so far:

1. Scraping off the "Popcorn" ceiling
2. Filling up cracks on the ceiling
3. Painting the ceiling. We chose pale yellow to go with the new wall colors
4. Removing the old wall edging strips/wall trims
5. Replacing the old wall with new ones. As you can see from the 2nd picture, the old wall is the white area in the picture with small little holes texture. We thought it looks kinda weird and painting it would be a toughie
6. Painting the walls. We chose bright orange and dark chocolate for the walls to create a little bright and dark contrast as we didn't want the room to be too bright nor too dark
7. Fixing the new little edging strips from hell!!! Man, taking them out was so easy but putting them back was tough as hell. The toughest part is getting the angles and measurements right. So next time, when your contractor charges you a little more for the edges, don't complain
8. Painted the edging strips from hell white

And that's all for now.

Stay tuned for more info as we progress further in the makeover project.

15th of May 2008 was a memorable date. It's the 1st Anniversary for MoofMoof and I. However we didn't officially became an item on that day. We chose to celebrate on that day because :-

1. Neither of us can recall when was the very day we finally hooked up (don't ask me why, it's a long long story)
2. It's mom's birthday so it's easier on our scatty brain.

Although he's halfway around the world, that didn't stop us from celebrating the day two souls united in love bonded in destiny.

That very morning, MoofMoof blew my heart and took my breath away. Just when I thought things can't get any sweeter or any more romantic than that, he would just whoop something right up to sweep me off the ground again. Yea, he sent me a parcel of love. Right then I know I'm the luckiest girl to have found the sweetest guy <3.


(The most wonderful parcel I've ever received)

(Isn't this adorable? A handmade necklace and bracelet and 2 of his most loved cutie keychains which he bought from Vietnam. Piggy keychain-->Me and Doggy keychain-->MoofMoof. Oh by the way he has the same exact bracelet except that it reads "I (LOVE) SAMANTHA" and he wears it everyday. *Melts my heart away*)

(A box full of handmade stars)

(I've received lots of handmade stars in the past but none like these ~ stars with hand-drawn pictures, they are uber cute. He sent 3 superheroes to protect me ~ Superman, Spiderman and Batman, can you spot them? Orh girls {you know who you are when it comes to Foster} if you're reading this can you spot a Foster star he sent, specially for all of us? *squeals excitedly*. Did any of you notice the piece of doodoo? I notice lotsa guys love to draw doodoo. Wonder why? Anyone?)

(The words say it all. Makes me cry when I read them. *rolls eyes*. Well don't look at me like that, I can't help it. I tend to have a soft spot for touchy stuffs like that. *rolls eyes again*)

(He was debating whether to give me lotsa kisses or just one kiss. There, he decided to give me a huge ass kiss!)

(MoofMoof's most fav moomoo or so he says. MoofMoof won it from the fair. He's a freaky froggy-like moomoo ~ "Hun, don't debate it cause you know it's freaky, even Ryan says so". But I still think it's super duper cute, just like you, freaky but super duper adorable *Runs for life before I get tickled to death*)

(And last but not least, how can a card not accompany so many loveable goodies. Not 1 but 2 CARDS! And they are handmade too! *Awwwww melts habis-habisan* , translation - fully melted, I think...hmm... *scratching head*)

See, how can I not say I'm the luckiest girl when a guy does so many many uber sweet confections? We spent the rest of the day babbling away ~ <3.
