my very long weekend

Eating: The best meal of chili crabs which we had for 2 nights in a row. Yup, it's that good.
Watching: The Art of Getting By and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1. 
And lots of TV. Lots.
Working on: Custom-ordered puffy clouds for a blogger friend and making envelopes out of some leftover Kraft paper.

It was such a great relaxing weekend. We had so much fun lazying around in our pj's all.day.long. ;p

the (long) weekend's here!

I took a week off from work during the Chinese New Year last week, and it felt really great to be away from the usual morning rush to the office, thinking about work and deadlines. And I'm really glad that this weekend's going to be another long 4-day break- yeayheyhey!! 

Here are some scenes from last week with my family. The last picture was the dinner we had a couple nights ago. Notice the fruits from the pasar malam I posted about earlier? crazy yummy!
Have a great and awesome long weekend, everyone!

simple lovely things

Kinfolk Volume 2- my last online purchase on 2011 and it arrived sometime last week. I've yet to devour every single page but am already in love with what I've seen so far. 
This is one very lovely magazine about small, simple and lovely gatherings with dear friends. It inspires one of my 2012 resolutions to hold dinner parties for close friends and families on our lawn, under the starry night sky, eating delicious home cooked meals. Would you like to come? :D
All those postcards and small prints that I brought home from Amsterdam and Paris, and some other trinkets bought during our travels have been kept away, only occasionally visited whenever the feeling of missing those traveling days hit. I decided to paste them on the wall during the weekend, and we just smile every time we walk pass by them now.
I craved for steak one night and this one was perfect.
 At times, I really miss the banana and Nutella crepes I had Paris. The best were the ones sold by a stall across the road from the Eiffel Tower, next to a gigantic carousel. It was so good that I had two!
 I attempted at making one myself and it turned out yummy although not as scrumptiously yummy as the ones in Paris- hah!

Hello 2012

These are the takes from our last day of 2011. We ended the year with simple, delicious and fulfilling food from some of our favourite places- yumm!
Lunch at Fat Spoon. We both had the Nasi Kampung, really loved the tamarind prawns and belacan long beans. The ice blended minty lychee was very refreshing- mmm.. And oh, that's my new bag- the Thunder tote by Fieldguided which I absolutely adore. It is so pretty and so dreamy.. (^-^)
We had these scrumptuous chili crabs at Fatty Crab for dinner. They were divine! If you're up for a very fun foodie adventure (see that hammer thingy?) and if it is crabs that you're craving for, this is the place to be.

How was your last day of 2011, by the way? Did you do anything fun?
