I AM BUSY DOING SOME CRAFTS

October 14, 2010

Today, I bought two rolls of wallpaper at the dollar store. I saw from several online blogs and lifestyle TV programs how they decorated the stairs steps.

I bought a light blue and grey speckled design which looks like a floor laminate. You see our basement steps are still very rough and unpainted so I wanted it to look nice specially when I am going up the steps. 

I wanted to achieve something like this  

This is how my basement steps turned out. Not bad for half an hours job(pat on the back) 

  Now it looks better. Tomorrow,I shall attempt to paint our garage wall.

TRAVELLING IN 2010

October 5, 2010

     Its now October and two more months and its almost the end of 2010.

This year marked a big move for us, since its not like my usual travelling year(You see travelling is my hobby) .This year we have finally moved to Canada which will be our home for the next few years.

Evidently this move has clipped my wings(literally and figuratively) since travelling to Asia which is my favorite region will now be curtailed due to high costs of airfares.

It good I can still reminisce that I have somehow whet and satisfied my appetite for travel in 2010.

Here are the places I visited in 2010 before our move to Toronto in June 2010:

March- PHUKET,THAILAND, We revisited Phuket(its our 2nd time here) in time for my 2 boys school holidays. We stayed at Marriot Kamala beach courtesy of our Marriot membership.

 

April-BEIJING  and TIANJIN,CHINA. Hubby and I finally saw the Great Wall and are happy to have climbed to the top. Its one of our most remarkable and memorable trips as a couple. Again we made use of our Marriot Membership to stay for free at Marriot Beijings downtown hotel.

May, YOGYAKARTA,INDONESIA I. SInce hubby had work commitments I had to travel all by my lonesome self to Yogyakarta to see Borobodur,one of the temples that is in my wishlist of places to see. I stayed in a small but charming boutique hotel,Ruma Mertua which translated means Mother In Laws House.

June, PENANG & LANGKAWI,MALAYSIA -As a Huling Hirit(last Call), hubby invited me to join him in Penang and later Langkawi where he was winding off his work commitments before our transfer to Canada.

Lastly we arrived in Toronto ,Canada on June 7,2010.

I am surely missing the beaches of Asia and the warm weather. 

I am still dreaming of going places with hubby and the family but maybe that would be in 2011.
