Retro fabric

Bought this retro fabric off Ebay and I got it today. I didn't realise that there was a bunny in the print and I am so happy there is :D

BLU Valentine's Day swap


The first 2 cards from the BLU Valentine's Day swap arrived in the mail today! How timely!

Shaun the Sheep



Been watching some Shaun the Sheep movies. They are hilarious! Every episode is so funny and the many little details in the show make it even funnier.

Some CNY atmosphere

Went past the Chinese New Year market in front of the casino today for some festive atmosphere. It was rather crowded because there were all kinds of food stalls. There was ba kwa for $2.50 per piece and tau huey for $3.50! We could do without those at those prices. I got a bottle of chai concentrate though. Hehehe! Not very Chinese New Year at all.

Something's baking!



I found these at the market today - lime and orange chocolate chips! Had to try baking something with these so they are sitting in the oven as we speak!

Designer labels

Last week I won an office newsletter contest and got me 24 bottles of limited edition Perrier water with 3 specially designed Paul & Joe labels. The case of water got delivered to me in the office today. Hehehe! That's quite a bit of water currently on my table.


Chinese New Year



Chinese New Year is here! Stuff we did this year - we went for a buffet dinner yesterday and I had a yum cha lunch with some of my colleagues today who are Chinese. That's about it - it is hard to be in the mood when it is a normal work day. There are some events around in the city this weekend to celebrate the occasion though. I might go and take a look. Wishing all my family and friends a happy, healthy & prosperous Year of the Rat!

A new idea!


A bunny tote bag. Bunny in front is a pocket :) This will be for me!

My animal fix

Whenever I go to the market, I go to the pet shop for some cute animal therapy. There were quite a number yesterday. A teeny maltese-westie cross (what better combination could you have?), a ragdoll and a couple of beautiful tiffanies. This was the first time I was seeing such lovely cats in a pet shop. They had beautifully soft fur too! I wish I could have one of them.





Market day

Our first market day is over! It was quite a great experience. Going there in the dark and setting up our stall, selling our first item (a handphone case) and selling all sorts of odds and ends during the rest of the morning. The highlights for me were selling a bunch of my bunny softies to one person, finding a Figgjo Turi bowl and getting a set of retro vintage mounted pictures (and I resold one!! Hehehe!). I thought we did quite well on our first try. :)

We got there before 6am to set up our stall! It was still dark but there were buyers already lurking for valuable stuff.









Our stall when it got brighter













These were great! I kept the second and third ones.







One of the recent things I've been wanting. Now I have one!

Australia Day fireworks

We got to see some fireworks going off from the top of Eureka tower for the Australia Day celebrations. I can never take my eyes off watching fireworks :)

Coming up!

Can't wait for the weekend! For a variety of reasons: -
1) I always look forward to weekends anyway
2) It's a long weekend with the Australia Day holiday on Monday (one less day to work! Woo hoo!)
3) We have our stall at the Camberwell Market on Sunday! How exciting! I hope we do extremely well...Hehehe! I think it will be fun. Hope for lovely weather though...:)

Bobbers having fun

This is what Bobbers plays every day. She loves to chase her fleece around. Recently she even picks them up and runs around with them - it's hilarious to watch!

Lime chocolate


Charli got us some chocolates from her Europe trip. Here's a really interesting one - a Lindt Lime and Green Pepper in 70% bitter chocolate. The chocolate is hardly sweet and the lime gel has a nice sourish tinge. Lovely! Won't be getting more of these any time soon though.

Who sits like that??

This was so funny I cannot imagine it is comfortable but she was quite happy like that for a while. Hehehe!

Best buy

This was one of my best buys from Bangkok - an Easter 2007 collection Bunny jug from Whittard. I couldn't believe my luck when I saw it!

Some pics

Cards I received from the Bunny Lovers Unite group Xmas card exchange

What I have been doing in the absence of internet access

Spot the bunny

New Year fireworks!

Woo hoo! I'm back!

It's been ages since I posted anything because we've been away and since we've been back, our internet access stopped working. After some toiling from the ISP, we are finally up and running again! HOORAY!

I love vegies!

Gave her a whole lot of vegies this morning and she was quite happily munching through them :)
