After duno how many weeks.. It's another 姐妹 gathering last night.
Had Thai Express for dinner - Pineapple rice and Tomyam soup.
Didn't think much of their food.. I still prefer Lemongrass @ Heeren.
(At this point of time, my colleague just walked thru... I always have a feeling that she is always peeping into my PC whenever she walk past. I'm sitting at the aisle, u see..)
Yb says the keys to her flat could be ready anytime from July '08.. Happy for her! Finally, she can get to design her own house! I always look forward to how Interior Designers design their own houses! Should be very nice...
Heard that the tiling for my floor is done up already. We're going to have a look after work today! This sat will be eventful for us.. Breakfast @ Delifrance Taka, buy my bridal shoes then go Tiong Bahru plaza to catch my long-waited "10 Promises to My Dog", after that will go my new house to have a look again. Think I will be buying a mop and clean up my floor.. so ppl can sit on the floor.. don't have to remain standing.
My ceiling will be done next week, then i can start on the painting and carpentary liao. Think my house should be completed by end of July... It seems. 1st of August is Lunar 7th month.. If the house is not completed by then, then we would have to leave out the whole month untouched (not auspicious to do Reno during 7th month).

Oh btw, just in case you ppl wondered why im so crazy over the Spanish team, look below!

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Did quite a lot of decisions and selections for my new house… Yesterday went Courts to buy the Cooking Hob and Hood for my kitchen. Initially I wanted to get "Brandt", but upon our arrival at the department, we were introduced to another Made in Italy brand "Turbo". As they had compact designs for their hobs and hoods, they were perfect for our narrow cabinets in our mini kitchen.
We also shopped around in Furniture Mall for leather sofas… Finally O compromises to have a leather sofa instead of his 'beloved' fabric sofa. Believe me, it took me a VERY long time to finally convinced him that a leather sofa is a better choice in terms of appearance, durability and convenience (I dun wana wash sofa covers!!!).
So... hooray! We are going to have a Red Leather Sofa in our Living room.. how cool is that!

Friday the 13th!
Interesting..
Today's Friday the 13th. Scared? If you are, you're probably Paraskevidekatriaphobic (trust me, i tried pronouncing it!)
I did a research as to why ppl are weary of Friday the 13th.. Here's a good one i adopted from http://people.howstuffworks.com/friday-thirteenth.htm/printable
The Christian Tradition
The fear of Friday the 13th stems from two separate fears -- the fear of the number 13 and the fear of Fridays. Both fears have deep roots in Western culture, most notably in Christian theology.
Thirteen is significant to Christians because it is the number of people who were present at the Last Supper (Jesus and his 12 apostles). Judas, the apostle who betrayed Jesus, was the 13th member of the party to arrive.
Christians have traditionally been wary of Fridays because Jesus was crucified on a Friday.
Additionally, some theologians hold that Adam and Eve ate from the forbidden fruit on a Friday, and that the Great Flood began on a Friday. In the past, many Christians would never begin any new project or trip on a Friday, fearing they would be doomed from the start.
Sailors were particularly superstitious in this regard, often refusing to ship out on a Friday. According to unverified legend (very likely untrue), the British Navy commissioned a ship in the 1800s called H.M.S. Friday, in order to quell the superstition. The navy selected the crew on a Friday, launched the ship on a Friday and even selected a man named James Friday as the ship's captain. Then, one Friday morning, the ship set off on its maiden voyage... and disappeared forever. (Bess: this is really spooky!! But to my disappointment, research shows that there isn't any Ship by the name of H.M.S Friday, nor is there a captain called James Friday -_-")
Some historians suggest the Christian distrust of Fridays is actually linked to the early Catholic Church's overall suppression of pagan religions and women. In the Roman calendar, Friday was devoted to Venus, the goddess of love. When Norsemen adapted the calendar, they named the day after Frigg, or Freya, Norse goddesses connected to love and sex. Both of these strong female figures once posed a threat to male-dominated Christianity, the theory goes, so the Christian church vilified the day named after them.
This characterization may also have played a part in the fear of the number 13. It was said that Frigg would often join a coven of witches, normally a group of 12, bringing the total to 13. This idea may have originated with the Christian Church itself; it's impossible to verify the exact origins of most folklore. A similar Christian legend holds that 13 is unholy because it signifies the gathering of 12 witches and the devil.
The number 13 could also have been considered pagan because there are 13 months in the pagan lunar calendar. The lunar calendar also corresponds to the human menstrual cycle, connecting the number to femininity.
Spooky??

My New Template!
I'm so pleased with myself… heehee.
Look at my template.. oh well, yeah it wasn't designed by me lar.. but I spent almost the whole morning + early afternoon uploading and editing it. Given that I have no knowledge of HTML, I think I'm already quite smart. At least it looked much better compared to my previous one..
I had enough of girlish pinkie style.
I'm a grown-up now.
Enough.
Stop calling me a "gu-niang (姑娘)" .
I'm going to buy air-con for my new house later... Hope the air-con piping can be done by this week, so I can decide if I must do additional L-box along the corridor.
Renovation hasn't been smooth.
HDB has rejected our application for hacking down the wall between our masterbedroom and the smaller room beside. Well, which means I will not have a walk-in wardrobe. Oh well, for a better cause; my contractor's charging me $350 for hacking & $200 for relocation of the door. And if I were to engage a Professional Engineer to issue a certificate to ensure the stability of the hacking, I need to fork out another $350-400. Come to think it, I'm hacking away a wall and I need to pay an additional of $1K? Forget it man.
Doing away with the hacking of wall, I will need to redesign the layout again.

Prince Caspian and Kungfu Panda
Last week was a movie week for me.. and guess what? I watched 2 "children shows" (if you may call them!) and almost half of the theatre is filled with kids!!! 
With compliments from Andrea, I got 2 free tix for Prince Caspian and i got Yen to accompany me since I know Raw's not interested.. And oh.. my Prince Caspian is soooo handsome!
This is how he look in real life.. yes, that's Ben Barnes.
Overall, the movie was great (not to mention it was free... :P)
Apart from the cute actors, it was hilarious too.
Kungfu Panda is damn funny too! If u guys haven't catch it, maybe u should!
This is my favorite character in the show - the Master Shi-Fu.
Can't really make out what animal he is... racoon maybe.
Oh.. last but not least, i love the name of the Panda - Po.
Hahahaha... got it?
Is it on show in Scotland? Maybe u can catch it there with Mia.
