It’s my baby sister’s birthday this month. Unfortunately, I am not in Melbourne to celebrate it with her. But, we will definitely celebrate it again when she comes back for holiday end of this year. I miss you so much meimei (baby sister in mandarin). Thankfully, there’s wassap and chatting with her daily is so easy and FREE !

She sent me some pictures of the birthday cakes which her friends made for her. IT is absolutely stunning and really creative that I must share it here! My sister is very lucky indeed to have friends like this!

The foodscape cake is made with edible food like vegetables, bread, nuts, mushrooms, avocado, and etc). It’s so COOL, rite?!!! It’s so much more interesting than the average cake (Healthier too). I’ve seen some foodscape previously. But, most of the time, it is for advertisement. (e.g. cadbury chocolate). This is the first time I’ve seen it used as birthday cake.

Apart from that, they also baked her one choco-piggy cake. Aww… it’s so cute. Love the eyes and the nose! Kawai-ne (cute in japanese) !!! I want one too!!! Hehehe.

Happy Birthday dear Meimei. Hope you had a great one and an amazing year ahead. May the Lord continue to look over you, protect you and bless you abundantly.

And, Thank you Lord for surrounding her with precious friends and family at all time.

Groupon Solar LED Garden lights

Hub and I saw this on Groupon and was really intrigue by it…

On the other hand, we were also a little weary of it as we had some bad experience with it. I know it’s not really Groupon’s fault as they are only advertiser and the merchant might have over promise during their ad. But, we figure it is a tangible product, it would have been easier to demand for a refund compare to a lousy service. (You cannot un-do the bad massage experience !)

So, we bought 4 to try first…If it is not up to our expectation, at least you won’t end up with like 12 of it sitting in your cupboard somewhere, waiting for actions to be made !!! Anyway, we were only planning of using it on one area in our garden which was a little dark at night and 4 should be enough (I think).

The LED lights come with several parts which was easily assembled into a a torch-like device. Looks quite cool. The finishing is pretty acceptable.

The only thing which we thought could have been better was if we can change the LED to the color we want. Then, it would be so cool when you throw a party and change the color according to the theme. 😉

Unfortunately, these will continuously change color. We did thought of synchronizing them to have the same color at the same time. But, the timing for each color change seems to be different between the lights. So, even if all 4 were turned on at the same time, it will slowly become quite random.

I manage to grab one picture with all 4 different colors. The first (bottom right) is yellow, follow by green, blue and red. I think I like blue the most. 🙂

Yay… our garden is so pretty at night now.

My bedside table dilemma.

I have been hunting for our Master Bedroom bedside table forever. Flipping thru every ID magazine I have, and googling up bedside table images whenever I have free time. It was like the item which bugs me constantly (every night when I go to bed!)

Actually, my ID did design a nice layout for our bed which includes the bedside table…

But, I much prefer one-piece standalones items whenever possible. I am an advocate that build-ins should only be at areas where the shape is odd or when you need the shelving to totally blend into the background.

Unfortunately, there is really limited selection of nice bedside table here in KL/PJ/SA area! If I found any, it is priced at between RM1,8k – RM 3k for ONE ! So, a pair would cost us like RM 4k?! (Way over our budget. Sigh…)

I refuse to look into IKEA’s offering as I didn’t want a mass production feel in our bedroom (Don’t get me wrong, I love IKEA, but, I just thought our bedroom should be special). Hence, the search continues… I told hub that we should take our time and find ‘the bedside’. He just rolls his eyes whenever I hunt for my bedside table. For him, it’s not an important piece of furniture. Bleh..

But, for me, it’s important.

I have been living with most of my bedside items (glasses, cups, books, Ipad, hp and etc on the floor). Is it REALLY frustrating I tell you! Every morning when the alarm goes off, I had to quickly sweep my hand along the floor to locate the handphone to switch it off / put it on snooze. Sigh… after a month, I develop special method to locate the phone. First, I locate the charger and then, I reel my handphone in (like fishing). bleh.

There were times that I was ready to cave-in and call my ID to come and just do it… Finally, I decided I have enough. I shouldn’t let the bedside table bug me anymore. I opened the IKEA browser and look under bedside table. Hehehe…

Surprisingly, I found 2 which I kinda like. It’s not ‘the bedside table’ but, it’s good enough. Which should I get? Hmm…and they claim it to be solid wood (I usually take it with big spoon of salt when it comes to IKEA’s claim to solid).

I like this

and

I finally choose the RM199 one. Reason? I love the clean look and the availability of open space below. Can put Ipad there and also books!

I’m glad that’s out of the picture… let’s see… What’s next? 😉
