你好!

Greetings from windy Taipei! Yes we're here again in our favorite city for the long weekend and having so much fun eating and shopping. All photos this trip are taken by my new camera, the Powershot SX50 so you gotta wait till I get back to upload it to enjoy the sights! 

In the meantime, enjoy the coffee moments from Instagram (@marilyny) from yesterday! Even the coffee is happy :)

Simple Pleasures


Pink sunsets through the hue of your shades.
Hand-held stroll from the station to the door.
Nudging me leftwards to avoid the oncoming car.
Stopping to watch a snail gnaw a fallen leaf.
Giving me a silly smile in the elevator.
Skipping to open the door with your elephant key.
Wrinkling your nose as you take off your shoes (haha).

Finally we are home.

Always

 
As the rain poured outside the window, and the sun slowly crept up into the sky, and the turn of the page is the only sound you can hear within the confines of our 4 walls. Always. You and I. 

Happy 45th monthsary, very soon we'll turn 4 :)

Under the Weather


Took this on Sat morning when it was dark & stormy, but this may as well be me now :( 

Blogging in bed on a Monday because I'm really down this time. My nasal passage feels inflamed and it hurts each time I swallow. Nettie is sick too but she's at work, plus the doctor gave her antibiotics, so she feels better than I do. Rah! Hate being sick! Slept the whole day away and still drowsy, but am half afraid to sleep again cos my throat gets so dry when I wake up it feels like it will split and crack when I swallow. Drinking tons of water but doesn't seem to ease the pain. And I'm really pro now playing tissue basketball with my bin. 

Gah being sick makes me whiny. But Nettie will be home soon enough so tata for now!

Insta-Updates

Holla holla.

In the few days I've been absent, strange flying objects have invaded Planet Earth and made our farm produce grow larger, which resulted in giant wedges when I visited Nando's.

 
No but seriously. Have you ever seen such a freaking big wedge before? (butts not included)
 
This also almost gave my mother a heart attack, until she saw the next picture....


...and saw that 7 people were sharing this meal, and that her daughter was not going to be obese and overweight within the near future.

After a fruitful Freaky Friday, we stumbled home half-drunk, and snagged some instant porridge and a Hello Kitty coin bank from the local convenience store. All I can say is....very strategic location for a convenience store to be located at, target audience drunkards - they tend to spend money quite generously after drinks.
 

 Yesterday we finally got to springcleaning our room. And look what I found...how cute baby Nettie.

 We also finally changed the bedsheets and the children are out to say hello!
 
Just as well that the room is neat and pretty now, because packing it gave me a horrible allergic reaction. My nose and dust just do not go, I started sneezing so bad - those super combo sneezes where you sneeze once and 7 sneezes follow :( - that I developed this equally horrible headache. Even Korean BBQ did not salvage it, until I popped some pills and just went to sleep (on my nice new white bedsheets hehe). But I'm fine now.
 
And all of you better wake up. September has ended.
