Window Treatment

New curtain was put up in my living room today. We have to custom made this curtain because of the shape for the bay window.

The color I picked for the valance and the blinds matched perfectly with the furniture and carpet in the room.

Close up...

The white lace is from our old curtain. We told the designer that we want to re-use the lace. So he added another rod to hang the lace.

If I need to look out, I just push the lace to the side. :-)

The blinds are made from fabric and movable. I can bring the blinds up or down and let as much sunshine as I like into the room. I am happy with this window treatment. It turned out exactly as I envisioned.

Christmas Gifts

I woke up on Christmas day and went straight to the kitchen to cook breakfast for the two of us. Honey asked if I see the presents Santa brought for us. I told him that there will be no present for him this year. During the Christmas sale, I was not allowed to go out shopping by myself. Plus, I know honey love to shop present for himself.

Santa gave each of us a new phone this year. Mupy tricked me when he packed an old blackberry in the box. I said I don't want any used BB. He told me to look under the table, maybe Santa has dropped the present, he said. I found another present underneath the table. It was my new iphone. Yes, it is about time for me to upgrade my pearl bb to iphone. I spent the whole night transfering all of my data from the blackberry to the iphone. Thanks to Jrr. for suggesting google account to transfer the calendar smoothly when outlook 2003 didn't work on me. I used outlook for the contacts and notes and the data transfered correctly. Unfortunately, I cannot transfer the password keeper to iphone. I have to manually enter the information into the new phone. Honey stays loyal to blackberry. He received a new BB torch.

I am looking forward to a positive and successful new year. My new year resolutions for year 2012 are no different than what I have planned and achieved for 2011. I need to keep my physical health checked. I have just started seeing a few strands of gray hairs and some balding spot on my head. But I cannot think about it too much. I am just going to enjoy my life as I should.

Happy new year to all my readers!

Soap Opera...

I have been busy watching a malay drama Cinta Elysa. The show has ended last Tuesday and the finale was really nice. It was a happy ending that leave a smile on my face. Fasha Sandha, the lead actress for the show never disappointing me. I love her acting in all of her movies. Aril aka Botak is a new actor that make the cut into my favorite actors list. His act in Cinta Elysa was really good. He managed to focus as “samseng” (thug) from the beginning until the end of the show. I also like his act in his new drama “tasbih putih”. Johan As’ari looks so angelic in that movie. Once again, he is nailing his role in “Terowong – Kain kapan”.

Besides busy watching drama and movies, I am also busy going out for Christmas gifts. I don’t know what I should get for the loved one. He has everything and very fussy with things. He doesn’t like socks with band…he already has hundreds of dress shirts, hundreds of sweaters, he doesn’t like perfumes, and so on…I ended up buying more clothes for myself just to make my trips to the store worthwhile.

We received some flurries last night but it didn’t stick on the ground. Honey and I have not dined at McDonald for a very long time until last night. There was a promotion for Mc Flurry Coffee or something that dragging us into the fast food restaurant. And because of the caffeine, I could not sleep until 5 am in the morning.

I have not been cooking any new recipe lately. I apologize for that to all my readers. Every day I serve the same simple menu like fried chicken, tomato and basil soup, fried fish or hamburger for dinner. I have lost my appetite to indulge. I am going to go under the knife in January and the thought is stressing me a little. An annoying person at work is adding to the pressure too.

I bought ready to cook chicken meatballs and fruits salad to share with co-workers at the office Christmas party. I hope everyone will enjoy the meatballs and the fruits.

Please enjoy your weekend... hopefully year 2012 will be better for me to write.
