Our Place

I thought some of you might like to see our place.. but the pics i took don really do the place justice though. It looks really small in the pics but it's a bit bigger than that and comfortable.
As you come in thru the door, mirrors!!! fantastic before going out.

The library cum guest room cum laundry drying room cum storeroom. The silly man shipped 90% of what're on the shelves from Australia! As if he's not going to get new ones here. Bottom middle shelf's my books and half of bottom right.

The living room viewed from the library. The window's where I smoke with my head sticking out of it. Right end of the sofa's my corner where my knitting things are. That's my new soft toy, Bicky, which Rick 'kicked out' of the room when he came back from Slovenia yesterday cos she was on his side of the bed. hehehe

The kitchen. On the right where my 'shrine'(pics of my famly, which include Audrey and Besra) is the fridge. cool huh? The electric stove is in the middle. Beside the pics where the cloth is hanging is the oven. The bar top-style table is supposedly the dining table but the Mac is on it. The comfy chair is the Boss' Chair so whoever's show is on gets to sit in it. The blue and black cloth-thingy is the rug I made for the sink area.

The table was supposed to be where i would do my jigsaw puzzle but I can't be bothered to clear it. Bunny ears from the Thames Festival which Rick's landlord, Stuart, bought for me. The pics are of Rick's daugthers and his grandson. I made the 'frame' by the way out of the plastic stuff that came with my shoes and wool left over from my knitting and the flowers which i dried.

My sheep skin rug. It's gorgeous and soft but stinks a bit if u lie down on it. It's very warm on cold days.

Preaching

The wierdest thing happened to me yesterday on my way home from the shops. 2 ENGLISH ladies stopped me and asked me what language I speak. I said chinese and that's it. One of them started to preach The Word of God to me in Chinese!!! China Chinese I must add... You can't imagine my horror, yes horror, when she asked me to read a verse from her bible.... a chinese bible....sigh! i told her i can't read much chinese so she read it to me!!! sigh!!! she reads chinese better than me... ya...sighs! The embarrassing thing was I'm the chinese but she speaks and reads chinese better than I can... sigh!!!!

Baby Sling

I thought only Asians use baby slings by using a sarong to carry a baby or a small child to keep them by their sides.... apparently not! I was surfing the internet the other day and came across a website for baby slings. These commercial baby slings look and are used exactly like sarong slings but they are made from better and varied fabrics and are a bit stretchy. I bet they are more comfortable than sarongs. and most probably babies feel more comfortable in them too cos they come with padding to cushion the babies, unlike sarongs which are not stretchy and not padded. And these baby slings come in lots of colours too which are more contemporary too compared to sarongs though the colours are not as vibrant. On the other hand, these baby slings also come in different sizes for women, or men, with different body shapes. Like if you have bigger breasts, narrow or wide shoulders, length of your torso and height, you need different baby sling sizes.
