3BT: Random Days

1. Yesterday was a hot day at around 25'C, so I had time to read the rest of the novel until the end (it was the "light" English novel I bought in Crete - which turned out not to be too light 'coz it involves women who've been abused by a certain man).

2. Feeling that time was moving SLOWLY while sitting on the swing outside and reading the novel. It's an amazing feeling!!! It was FANTASTIC that I didn't have to work yesterday. Such a BRILLIANT day to be outside in the garden! :-D



3. The sexiness of hubby while he was seriously concentrating on building a new computer table for me (he ordered a new one and they came in pieces and he had to follow the instructions to build it). My, I have GREAT taste in men! LOL!!! ;-D

4. The rain today, so I didn't have to water the plants.

5. Yesterday I planted some seeds of kang kong and chye sim sent by Blur Ting. THANKS A LOT, Ting! I hope they thrive in my care, too, just like in yours!!!

6. Meeting an ex-Finnish course classmate at work and had a small talk with her. ;-D


7. The massage oil plan went VERY well. It was FUN (and it gives such a nice smell!) and we want to use it again HO HO HO HO HO...

8. Not experiencing any back pain or weird pain after lifting heavy stuff to the shelves at work.

9. The good feeling I got after exercising with my Wii yesterday. Yeah, babbyyyy!!!

10. Stool!!! Having one stool at work (and at home) is VERY beneficial for a short person like me. :-D

11. White butterflies in our garden.

12. Nice-smelling flowers at one end of the garden - they've started to bloom!!!

Today's Activity

Sleepyhead me had a HARD time waking up, even though hubby had been banging the walls downstairs 'coz he's been doing a major renovation work for the cables and stuff (so he had to turn off the electricity for a while), I still managed to fall back to sleep ha ha ha ha...so when I finally woke up, the sun was shining so beautifully. I knew it wouldn't last the whole day, so I took out some of my small (plant) babies to bask in the glory that would help 'em grow. Then after having a late breakfast and watering some plants, I took some pics and read a novel on the swing. Marvelous!!!

After that I decided to wash the car - the first time I've EVER washed a car in my entire life HA HA HA HA HA HA...then I went to the supermarket to buy some stuff by bike and when I got back it was already half cloudy and it got even cloudier and cloudier as time went by. So it was a SUPERB decision to enjoy the sun while it lasted ha ha ha ha...(Side note: Actually right now when I'm typing, the sun has decided to come out again ha ha...)

Here are some pics that I took:

The reason why I was sitting on the bottom part of the swing was that I wanted to enjoy the sun on my back he he he...And then the birds came to sing me some songs, as well...mmmm...


I REALLY love the shape of this flower...


Look what greeted me on the swing while I was reading there and enjoying the sun? ;-D


Saw a dozen of this type of flowers blooming near the side of our yard...lovely tiny purple flowers! :-D


Rising uppp...I ADORE these yellow ones for some reason...


This last pic was taken a few weeks ago at my MIL's place - I put it here just to show you the shape of the above yellow flowers he he he...


OK, now gonna relax some moreeeeee...I'll blog-hop later...

3BT: Random Days

1. Canned lychees.

2. Strawberry kiisseli (it's some sort of soupy pudding) that MIL made.

3. Flowers blooming on a tree right behind the swing set in our yard and taking pics of the beautiful flowers:

4. Meeting friends and sitting on the above swing set with one of them while waiting for the rest to come (we had a nice time while swaying on the swing).

5. MIL taught me how to sew with her sewing machine (just a simple stitch work) 'coz I'd bought some fabric to make curtains.

6. After MIL taught me how to do it, I did the rest by myself and now I have two sets of CHEAP new curtains for the living room and bedroom.

7. Rain means that I don't have to water the plants in my garden.

8. Having spent a long time cleaning the front part of the house. It felt GREAT having so much time to be able to clean up the house properly bit by bit.

9. Listening to old songs in youtube (and singing along with them) that brought me back to the past...mmm...I LOVE searching for and finding old songs in youtube.

10. Having a loving, funny, caring, gentle, patient husband who hugs me a lot every day and who tells me he loves me at least once a day.

11. Finding out why I had been having trouble calling my parents with Skype and having a hubby who could fix the problem.

12. Talking to my Mom via Skype for over an hour with pretty good voice quality and she could hear me well again.

Update on Dad + Flower Pics + 3BT

Just had a long chat with Mom. My Dad is still in recovery stage, so we'll see how it goes. At least my Mom says that now that he's at home, he eats regularly (usually he goes out for a walk in the morning to a nearby park and plays chess for hours and sometimes he forgets to eat!!!). They haven't gone to a doctor yet, but they'll wait for a while before deciding whether to go to a doctor or not. It does seem that the car didn't hit him hard, so I think he's going to be fine. :-))))

Anyway, since I've put too many travel pics, this time let me share some flower pics from my MIL's yard. These pics were taken last week. Yesterday I brought my camera, too, but the weather was awful, so I didn't take any pictures.


Next pic: Those bird decorations must be new. I had never seen them before. :-))))







Last pic: MIL, me, sis-in-law last week. Last week's Saturday was a perfect day to sit outside like this, but yesterday it was only 9'C and it rained a bit.


Well, I might just as well write my 3BT post here then...

1. Receiving support and soothing words from many people, including my blogger friends. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

2. I'd like to thank Febri for having sent me some chili sauce and Indonesian snacks from Aussie (she's travelling in Finland at the moment with her whole family). Can't wait to eat themmmmm YUM YUMMMM...THANKS SO MUCH, Feb!!!

3. Our being able to save some money. (I just heard from Mom about a cousin who can't save money due to his circumstances - not because he wants to and not because he can't control his spending - and not because he doesn't try hard to earn more money, either).

4. Cooler weather outside ensures that we sleep well at night under the blanket 'coz the room isn't too hot (we have no fans).

5. My brother has bought a laptop with a built-in webcam and subscribed to a monthly internet package and I've also bought a webcam so that we can see one another when we chat next time (the last time I hadn't bought a webcam yet, but at least I got to see him and my Mom and Ken in action!!!). YIIPPPIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! THANK GOD for technology!!!!!!!!
