Los Angeles- Part 1 (27th-29th May 2010)

Day 5: 

Hollywood, the city where fame and glamor originated. Not a fan of the city as its so busy it resembles SG. Still prefer mother nature and greener views. Anyway, we still visited the tourist attractions of Hollywood. Did not managed to see any starlets but we walked the Hollywood Walk of Fame and visited the Mdm Tussuad's museum.

10-05-10

10-05-10 is a beautiful date to remember.. it marks my 26th bday and our 1st yr anniversary (according to Mr Ong) since our wedding... 

We had lunch at Buffalow Wild Wings...its was very nice.. then we made our way out for shopping... he wanted to bring me to Toy'R'Us so that i can pick out a present fr there, but we never made it cuz it was somewhere else.. we hunting for TVs and sound bars for our new apartment back in SG. And after much comparison, Mr Ong placed order for a 46inch Samsung LCD and a Bose 2.1 sound system. We have started using it and we will shipped back to our new nest in SG.

Bought a book fr Borders titled, Blink, by  Malcom Gladwell.  Interesting book that teaches you about reading some thing, some one in just 2 seconds.... 

Saving Mr Ong present for me at the moment because as we are going on a trip soon to San Francisco, Los Angles and Las Vegas, as he will be sponsoring a shopping trip!!! yeah!!!

The month of may have always been a much celebrated month filled with bday makan sessions overlapping the mar, apr and may babies. Its also a month to celebrate and remember our mother for being there for us and all the things little things for us: Mother's Day.

Month of May 2010 is always a busy month and especially so for us this yr.

2ndly, as its the spring/ summer break and the weather is getting better (i hope, as there is a tornado warning tonight), we are organizing BBQs with frens, the sporean style..i miss having it at mummy's place's corridor =)  

3rdly, we are also planning more outdoor activities like Golf, Canoeing,  Frisbee, Tennis etc.. mainly things we wont have alot of time or opportunities to do in SG

3rdly, 10th May 2010 marks my 26th bday and also our customary wedding 1st yr anniversary. Mr Ong and I will be celebrating with a simple dinner.

4thly, we are going away for 3 weeks!!! to San Francisco, Los Angles and Las Vegas!! we will be visiting lots of cool places!! cant wait to go Grand Canyon for th beautiful scenery. The romantic vineyard of Napa Valley. 

Mr Ong cant wait for the luxurious and sinful buffets in Sin City!!!!

TOP

after lots of speculations on the TOP of our love nest on the forum, we have officially receive the TOP notice fr Hoi Hup. It will be 4th quarter of this yr, so it could be Oct, Nov or Dec.

The earlier the better, as it would mean with simple renovation, we could spend 2011 CNY at our new place. 

However, if Mr Ong's request for extension for another semester is approved by his boss, we will only be back next april, which means we will be able to go for more ski trips during the winter!!! yeah!!! plus we get to siam another yr ang bao giving!! muahahha what ever happens its still win-win situation..hahahah

cant wait!!!

i passed!!

Yeah!!
i passed my driving test!!!


The examiner was very lenient so i passed on 1st attempt!!!


Just need to go make the license and wait for it to be mail to me!!!

Now u see it now u dont!!

borrowed a sewing machine from our community center and attempted to sew. thinking that it should not be hard to operate it. Fiddle with the threading and stuff but can get it work properly, so still end up with hand-stitching the garments instead. 

Well nothing fantastic, just converted one of Mr Ong's old jeans into a pair of shorts.. just cut fold and sew. Also converted two of my old jeans to a pair of shorts and three-quarters, also cut, fold sew. The stitches are not very well done like those on Project Runway, but its not too shabby.. muhahahahah

As for the remaining fabric, still deciding what to do with them....
