Spring

Spring has come, and furries have emerged out from under the sheets all day =) They're so active now, always triggering up the cameras in the house =)

Also took this time to wash all the down and thicker jackets, now that the sun is staying out longer =)

Fen and I cant believe how we survived winter, just like that. Perhaps it was overrated, with people warning us how cold it will get, and how bad we were gonna suffer. Eh, it really wasnt crazy, the worst morning was -0.1°C, which I only donned on a thick pullover @.@ Maybe our tolerance for cold just went up =) We had quite a bit of fun huffing and puffing out smoke though lol (noob)~

I've also had my fair share of wardrobe mistakes which I kept making on cold days. Wore too short, too thin, too under-layered, wrong jacket, but I survived. Heh.

Hiking has proven so fun for us, I reckon Mum would love the hikes here. O, I caught up with Mum and Sis' family 2 months earlier in Bali for a couple days. It was nice to see them and hug them again. My baby niece is like a cartoon character baby Moana, she's so funny, but so needy for her mummy, argh.

Recently did furries' checkup at the vet, seeing that they've been on their homemade diet for some 3 months now. The last time I took BOTH furries to the vet MYSELF, was in 2014, when each furry had a crate. We only got 1 crate here (not the big ass flight crate of coz), and so I had to makeshift Pitch's carrier, put her in her cozy cat cave, and place the cat cave in our grocery chiller bag so that I can zip her up inside. Hahaha. They behaved like champs as usual, always making me proud.

Both furries now weigh the same at 5.3kg o.O" Ginger looking suave as usual, but Pitch still has to down to 5kg =/ But they're doing so well!!! Gotta update the nutritionist!!

I finally went for facial. Zomg. About damn time. And I was told I have dry skin! Woah woah, all my life I was told to avoid nourishing moisturisers coz they're too rich, and just go for hydrating water based gels and creams. For the first time ever, I'm using rich oil serums and moisturisers for dry skin. And boy my face feels rather good~

Fen's facial went so much better than mine. He cant stop raving about how good this country is doing to him, inside and out.

It is coming 1 year of our journey here. How we know is because the bills are all due and sent us reminders. Car rego, car insurance, RACV, ambulance coverage, etc.. Hard life. But yea, what a journey it has been. I am so glad we've made the 4 seasons, the ups and downs. We're still so uncertain, but we havent lost hope. There's still a roof over our heads, we can still put food on the table. There is just so much to appreciate. Yes, no one will ever stop wanting more, yet everyday, dont stop to think about just how good life has already been.

I may just sound like I'm ready to die, but every single waking day is already a gift. To feel no pain, to feel able, to have strong legs to walk on, to have appetite to eat every meal. The simplest things can be so awesome, really.

Going back to SG for a short while soon. I havent told too many people, coz Fen and I cant meet that many people and our schedule is already full. We are going to bring back more stuff from our house too, and already wrote a list of foods we're gonna stuff our mouths with ^^

And I think I'm finally sick of cooking fried bee hoon, so it's now hor fun time! We're trying to stick to a more ketogenic diet as well, whenever possible (yes hor fun or bee hoon is not ketogenic).

I also finally finished a knitted scarf. It turned out like shit, mostly because I did not leave enough yarn needed to close off, and was too unbothered to go buy back the same colour yarn, and went to close with a contrasting colour yarn that I had on hand. So, basically, that last few stitches at the tail end ruined the entire look of the scarf. Hurhur. I was also very eager to start the next scarf, because I wanted to try a different stitch pattern. It is looking so good~~ Could prolly finish in the next couple days!!

I have aplenty pictures to post, but I am too lazy to edit, and I have standards for my pictures, so that's why it's just words now. Lalala.

Lastly, I bought a weighing scale!!! LOL what trivial update is this. But yea, hoping to stay motivated to lose weight =/
