two years happy.

We've officially made it past our 2 year anniversary! I'm kidding, obviously we were going to.

Gift giving was an unspoken 'yes' because I knew that even if I tried to enforce a 'no gifts' rule, dC would still go ahead with his own plans. It seemed pointless.

Glad I didn't fight it because I'm so excited about what I got:

It's a Fuji Instax Mini 8 - who knew polaroid-type cameras still existed! It's super cool & I'm so excited to use it! I just need to remember that I only have one chance at taking a good picture, unlike what I'm used to. Haha!

Naturally we went for dinner - I don't know why it took us as long as it did to make a decision but we finally went to this Brazilian steakhouse we'd been dying to try.

If you love meat and have never been I urge you to go to one right.now. Similarly, it's a vegetarian/vegan's hell so might want to stay away if that's the case.

The premise is that there is a buffet for salads & apps, and servers come to your table with skewers of meat. Until you feel like you're going burst, because it's all you can eat meat (and salads).

I was too busy with my steaks and filet mignon to take my own pictures of dinner, but I think this is all you need. At your table. #omnomnom

Full or not, we still came home for our champagne & slice of cake...

Happy 2 years to us :)
Anniversary morning & anniversary evening...both sleepy haha :)
[with the new Instax of course!]

book worm

I have always loved reading. Scholastic book order days in elementary school were my favourite days of the month. I look at my early book collection at home and still remember what every single book was about.

Summertime was always library time and I have my mom to thank for taking us all the time. I read the classics: Moby Dick, David Copperfield, Black Beauty, Frankenstein, and also fell in love with a couple of series including Anne of Green Gables & Narnia.

I was a regular reader until university when studying took up way too much of my time. I believe the only time I read in my university years was while I was on exchange in Germany and this famous series blew up:


I read here and there after university but I only got really back into it a couple of years ago when I picked up the Millenium series. After that I was back to being hooked.

I always thought the only piece of technology I couldn't adopt was the eReader. I just love books so much! But after much debate, I got my Kobo Glo for Christmas!
Cheesin' out with excitement!
Because of this, I am doubling my Reading Challenge goal for 2013 to 30 books! 1 down, 29 to go...

Check out my Book List!

I'm not even going to pretend that I didn't get spoiled this year by fam and fantastic boyfriend.

Here are some of the highlights, even though there are more...
 Clockwise from top left:

Sewing machine
Iron & ironing board
ABBA Just Dance for Wii

Guess what...It's not even over yet! There's another gift exchange today and a couple more on the weekend.
Just too much...but secretly, I can't wait :)

Hope everyone's having a great holiday!

Easter Prezzies


Got my in-between-Easters prezzie from dC this week!

That would be a Ferrero Rocher chocolate bunny! Plus, such a cute gift bag :)
Can't wait to dye Easter eggs tonight & make Easter bread on Saturday! Def one of my fave holidays!
