Little Cozy Corner

My pix can finally be shared!! All thanks so some very helpful advice and a whole lot of luck that the installation went a-ok.

Mum’s special chicken rice. This I think it didnt turn out too well but the colors are great! :drool: Note : I should have realised that almost all of you would have noticed that there was no ‘rice’. But achelly…..GOT!!! At the bottom….this is merely the topping, the rice is given a stir or 2, to mix up the toppings before serving to avoid messing up the whole dish.

Another attempt by yours trully at cooking sweet and sour pork. Still got room for improvement.

Our first home cooked dinner as husband and wife - Ted cooked this up. :drool:

The rest of the pix….come Friday then I show you all some more, ok? :tongue:

With Raya and Deepavali over, it’s time to bring in the Christmas tree and deck the halls with boughs of holly!! :party:

The new look is for Christmas….and coz I miss my pups so this is to help me miss them a wee bit less.

What an awesome night! :drool: It was fantastic….it was orgasmic……it was uplifting and I felt like as if angels from heaven were playing their instruments just for me. :daydream: [Leonard is CUTE!!!!! :daydream: :daydream: :daydream: Tall dark n HANDSOME....literally. :drool:]

Now, now….before you get your panties wet with delight and all sorts of naughty thoughts flying through the air like daggers, it is not what you think. At all.

Ted, together with 2 of his friends and I went to a concert of a special sort. This is not the kind where you get mossed or have the artists throwing themselves unto their fans hoping that the fans will break their fall, which the fans normally do but that is not the point. The point it this concert was the first one I’ve ever gone to and I can see myself looking forward to going again. It was a date with Saffire, the Australian guitar quartet. It was worth every dollah we paid, right to the very last cent!

I wasn’t really looking forward to going but it was something that I knew Ted wanted to do and I guess it was about time we spent some time out at night in the city. So after picking Prez up at 5pm, we drove into the city and parked. We were lucky to get that last parking spot, really. But being so early and the doors only opened 15min to 8pm, we together with Prez’s brother, Gus [I think] took a walk to find a bar. What shitty luck for me that I just had to wear my boots!! Although I looked to kill, I felt like killing myself. It’s a whole lot tougher walking downhill than uphill in boots and I learnt that yesterday. :grouch: And to make matters worst, many bars were not opened to the public and so we had to go hunting for a bit when we FINALLY found something to park our butts.

Yesterday, I had a lot of beers. Much more than I could ever imagine and I think I’m beginning to like it! [Oh no.....I've got the beer bug!!!! *hic*] I had like 3 shots yesterday which is a lot for one who doesnt like beer! I wasnt able to even finish one mug sometime ago….sheesh, this isnt good news I think. Anyways, by 7.30pm we were back at the Conservatorium and they opened the doors to the hall at 7.45pm.

8pm sharp, we heard the side door open and out marched 4 pleasant looking people who took their places, got comfortable, tuned up and started playing their guitars. It was then that I felt the doors of heaven open and the angels must have come down to caress and pluck those strings with such passion and emotion that I was totally sucked into it. I was literally lifted off my seat and I had goosebumps all over. It was really quite an experience and is one that I’m not going to forget for awhile. I was totally caught off guard and if you like music from the Renaissance era and into the mesmerising sounds of the guitar, you’ll be jiggying with this act!

I totally recommend this night out with these very talented artists. I couldnt believe how fast their fingers moved over the length of the guitar neck and how they practically played their fingers off. Karin is simply SUPER!! They all are really!!! It’s really amazing….:kowtow: Their next concert is at Canberra but the whole list is here. If you’re in the area, you must go watch it!! If not, buy their album lor….

I’m sorry if some of my posts this week revolves around the humans upper torso. I can’t help it if one thing is connected to one another. And after the previous post and what Merv said in his comment, “A woman who’s nipples show out of a bra wears her bra much in the same way as to why a larged penis-ed man wears briefs: Support and to show they got “power””, well folks….I’ll show you power!

This advert is currently showing on Aussie telly and it’s driving me up the wall. I hate it and it’s simply disgusting!! :sick: [Sorry, cant put in the embbed screen, still having probs lar... :sad:]

And to think that Ted thinks this following advert is worst. I dont think so! I think it’s nothing compared to 3inch nipples playing freesbie and DJ-ing!! [Hedo, were you turned on with that freesbie stunt?]

However, to get rid of your nausea which I’m sure has been mounting, here’s one of my favourites. Very cute! There’s another newer advert, which is more fast-paced and cheery but just as cute. :love:

What are some of the advert you hate and love? Share lar…

1. Why would a woman wear a bra if her nipples are going to show right through?

 2. Why would a manager masturbate in his office despite knowing that ALL his staff knew what he was up to when he had that glazed, spaced out look on his face while focusing on the young girl at the office? [No, this is not happening in my current office but it was happening once upon a time.]

[A re-type of yesterday's post, stupid connection didnt load it up when I clicked 'Save'....it was a good post. *Sigh*]

It’s finally sunk in - I’m back in the neverending cycle of eat-sleep-work-eat. Today, as many of you already know, was my first day on the job and I’m glad to say that I had fun. All that stress and nervousness for nothing! There were about 20 new faces today and our group is so culturally diverse! We’ve got English, Irish, Scottish, Fiji, NZ, Indonesian, MALAYSIAN, French [a sweet man who sit besides moi] and of course, an Aussie or 2 around as well. I found myself surrounded by many friendly faces and I’m thankful for that. Some have already gotten their cliques together but as for me…I’m still trying to fit in. Didnt feel as if it was neccessary to have cliques but I’s like to think that I’ve found 2 glas whom I can hangout with. One’s a chatty Aussie chick and the other an Irish lass - I just LOVE her accent! There is also another foreign girl whom I like but I dont know what origin she is - must ask her tomorrow. I would say that she’s the prettiest of the lot - beautiful face with a cute attitude to boot! I could look at her for hours - but I didnt of course. Didnt want to scare her nor her baby!! Lol I think she just got pregnant or so everyone keeps saying.

Yesterday, it hadn’t dawned on me that I’d be in the working world again until Ted and I went last minute clothes shopping. I managed to buy 3 blouses and a handbag and got a good price on it too. [I've come to the conclusion that women will never have enough clothes or shoes for that matter - you can throw in the handbags as well coz it's blardy true!] I was very happy with my loot but cant say much about Ted’s poor card. :secret: It was after we got home that I realised that I’d have to be waking up with the birds in the morning and getting ready to go to work!! :hypnotized: I had to be in the office by 8.30am which means that I have to be on the train at least by 7am. Knowing what a slow coach I am at getting ready in the mornings I set my alarm clock for 5.15am [it was suppose to be 5.30am but I'm a little paranoid about getting up in the mornings]. Turns out, I woke up just before 5.15am and waited for the alarm to go off, snoozed it once and was out of bed at 5.25am….rushing to get ready in case Ted got ready faster than me! [He only needs like 15mins to get ready for work - it's a miracle he remembers to put on a shirt!]

By 5.40am, I was ready and staring into an empty place waiting for Ted to wake up. So I made me a coffee and waited. It’s a wonder how slowly time drags by when you want it to hurry. But I wasnt that afraid coz I knew that Ted was sending me to the station before going off to work himself. He starts at 7am. Such a sweety isnt it? But only for today. From tomorrow onwards, I have to walk to the station from home which is about 20mins [less than 1/2hr] away then take the train into the city which is about 40min or so and another 10min walk to my office. All in all, I’d be walking some 30mins a day, which will do me a world of good seeing how desperate I am at wanting to lose weight. But I’m sure that this is also part of Ted’s secret diet plan for me coz it has been decided that I cannot take the bus to the station unless it’s a good reason, ie. rain maybe. And if it aint too dark when I return home, I gotta walk too. So if I walk both ways - it’s 1 hour a day!!! Damn….I better lose some pounds or I’ll give up losing weight and dieting FOREVER!! :nottalking:

I seriously dont mind the walking but today, I had my first dose of walking back…haiyolar!!! My calves and ankles are hurting & aching like mad!!! :crying: I’ve already booked Ted to gimme a foot and leg massage today - beh tahan wei…..tomorrow, I’m ditching those damn corporate court shoes and I’m gonna wear my boots. Heck, I got all dressed up today and some of them turned up in attire that was no where even near business, talk about CORPORATE! :grouch: O well, at least I’m getting an idea what is business wear here - it’s so different back home. Ever heard of short pants as business attire? Not back home but here, very common…maybe I might have to get a pair too after hearing rumours that summer this year is gonna skyrocket. Sydney is after all experiencing one of it’s worst drought seasons ever in 10yrs and I had to be here to experience it as well….:worried

Now, it’s bath-bath time….then, foot massage!!! :drool:
