1. Wtf..?

2. Caught Steele Saunders' comedy show The Cat's Meow tonight and found it hilarious that I could relate to almost everything he said about cats, from topics of their Fitness ("Cats only have 2 levels of fitness: 1 - Do fuck all, absolutely nothing, or 2 - Like a cat on cocaine running around doing everything all at once, which is half of everything on YouTube"), their Honesty ("My cat Jerry likes a pat on the head every morning, but sometimes he wants a pat before I wake up, which causes a bit of an issue. So he comes up to my hand while I'm still asleep and rubs his head against my open, lifeless hand to give himself a pat, but he doesn't stick around for a cuddle afterwards, no... instead he bites my hand and runs off. It's a hand rape. That's honesty, cats don't lie."), and Happiness (where Steele shares a long but heartfelt story about how a cat named Chewy brought him and his girlfriend so much pure joy - though I especially loved how Steele gave his girlfriend a birthday card with a picture of a kitten in it saying 'This is being born for you today' and an asterisk below noting 'Not actual kitten'.)

Really enjoyed Steele's deadpan delivery and his appreciation of cats' competencies as he  compared cats' superiority to the stupidity of humans the strange things humans do. Thanks Li Jun for the ticket!



3. I was surprised to find these just sitting there when I got home. They looked as if they were patiently waiting to meet me!

Some fairies Michael had assembled them while I was at work. I don't think I could wish for a better housemate! 

Day 107 - Bermuda Triangle likes bean bags, hipster cat, fro-yo, Lifelounge interviews Taylor and Kelly Smith wall is complete

Here are a few things that made me smile:

1. The Bermuda Triangle's appetite is insatiable!
   
   Bye bye bean bag, the Bermuda Triangle (or some poor, unfortunate person who hasn't realised you're very stinky) has you now. 



2. A cat wearing a beret = hipster cat.

3. Treating myself to a yummy frozen yoghurt after a gruelling yoga session. I think I'm going to do this every time now!


4. I chuckled while reading Lifelounge's interview with Taylor Hanson.
   
   "This two hour conversation revealed to us that maybe Hanson holds more of a place in our hearts than we ever realised. Their 1997 debut Middle of Nowhere sold over 10 million copies, they were nominated for three Grammys and plus, whether or not you knew what sex he was, the middle one was really good looking..."


5. Stage 8 of Project Home is complete! About 35 more stages to go...... 

Day 106 - Snowflake redeeming herself by looking silly

A few months ago, Snowflake peed on our bean bag. It took a lot of effort to get it cleaned, but she's done it AGAIN! Grrrrrraaaaarrghhhh!!!

This time, instead of attempting to salvage the bean bag and scoop the beans out, wash the lining and cover, refill the beans and restuff the cover, I'm sticking to when I last said I'd throw the bean bag out if Snowflake pees on it again. It's just too hard.

As much as I am annoyed to have to throw out the bean bag, Snowflake's redeemed herself by wandering around with her mouth open...


...and striking a sexy pose with her belly sticking out.

"How you doing?"

Day 105 - Little joys in perfect weather

Here are a few things that made me smile today:

1. Perfect weather! 26 degrees, sunny with a light, cool breeze. The last week has been cold, rainy and miserable but we're suddenly blessed with great weather over the weekend.. looks like winter isn't quite here yet after all?!


2.  Finding Brett watching The Binding of Isaac videos on his TV. LOL. 


Pe Yang shared this video with us a few weeks ago. It's basically a dude recording himself playing Binding of Isaac while commentating... yes it's as sad as it sounds, but its actually strangely mesmerising and addictive to watch and listen to him charismatically talk NON-STOP! How does he multi-task SO well?!?



3. Having breakfast at 3pm. 



4. Shy looking cats. Awww. 



5. Pretty pink garage doors!



6. And finding more pink doors... at Ikea!

Day 104 - Freezer opening cat and receiving my Hanson ticket

I was shown this hilarious video of a clever cat opening the freezer door:


I'd really like to know why the cat's eating ice though!

And check out what came in the mail today!!!

I had to pick it up from the post office as I had it sent as registered mail, and I kid you not, I was standing outside the post office for a good minute, staring at the ticket in my hand, with the biggest smile on my face. I must have looked like a craaaazy dingbat!

Day 103 - My niece's big smile

It's Pe Khai's birthday today - Happy Birthday big brother!

My adorable little niece was all smiles and giggles throughout the night. Watching her infectious laugh put a massive smile on my face.




They say children reinvent your life for you. They really do.

Day 102 - Cats imitating art, Aesop Post-Poo Drops, fatty lamb ribs and muscat on a cold night

You make it easy, it's as easy as 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4:

1. When I got to work this morning, Soon Yang had sent me this:

Soooo cute, there's even a little Snowflake in there! Snowflake used to wear a red collar just like that!


2. This made me giggle. Aesop has just released "Post-Poo Drops". Its product description reads, "An aromatic, botanical formulation to combat the malodorous. This discerning formulation of essential oils combines a powerful aroma with disinfecting and anti-bacterial properties. The crisp, citrus peel notes are fortified with rich floral elements to effectively neutralise disagreeable smells." You're meant to add a few drops into the toilet bowl after a poo. Hilarious! 

However, embarrassingly enough, it's gotten me quite curious to try it out! Damn you marketing, you get me every time *shakes fist*...


3. Utterly scrumptious, finger-licking-good "fatty lamb ribs" at Touche Hombre. Mmmmmmmmmm.


4. Sipping muscat on a cold Melbourne night next to an outdoor heater, listening to Brett and Keng comparing Pinot to being "erotic and sensual, when I want to be seduced" and Cabernet as "when I need a good hit, straight to the point, yeah give me some flavour!" It's a pretty special feeling.
