House-Hunting

Heh. I just sold my first item on eBay - a faux pearl necklace which I've never worn before. It's intriguing how someone's junk can become another's treasure. Even though the final bid came up to be about $5, it wasn't too bad at all considering the fact that it was an unwanted article. :)


Speaking of unwanted, our landlord is seriously trying to get rid of this house. After sacking the ex-property agent for what seems like a lack of advertising, the current one has been actively putting up ads and holding house inspections so much so that it's kinda annoying having to stick around twice a week (every Wed and Sat) for the so-called prospective buyers. And to the working individuals (like Joe), Sat can be the most precious day of the week. Even though each inspection only last half an hour, the one on Sat is at 11am, which means we can only go out after 1130am, or go out ridiculously early and come back before 11am to open the door for the buyers. *bitch-bitch*


Well, anyway, the house hunting on our part has been ongoing for about a month now. Have set our eyes on one but to pull the trigger that quickly kinda scares us. Especially when the owner hasn't been able to sell it for some time now, which we can't understand why because the house is spanking new and just a stone-throw away from the train station. The price isn't too unattractive either. So, to play safe, like the true blue Singaporeans we are, we are going to propose renting the place first. And if the house doesn't collapse by the end of our lease, we might just take over the ownership. :)

Woof! Check out Joecities' favicon (on the address bar and bookmarks menu) that I've created! Nice? ;)


ps: If you are a Mozilla/Firefox user, the favicon should have already displayed itself on the address bar. For IE users (version 6.x), try bookmarking the page, close the browser and visit the page again.


pss: Still can't view it? Ask Ginger the Techie Dog. =P

Suspect the dude above is checking in on me. I really should go to church this Sunday. =P

Mt Hotham Ski Trip

Sorry for the lack of updates. Been pretty tied up with "stuff" and recovering from the recent back-breaking ski trip to Mt Hotham. Apparently, I felt invincible and went really fast down the blue runs. How was I supposed to know that that kind of speed in parallel skis could toss you up in the air, flip you over and knock you out? I guess the couple of somersaults, the sprained neck, the scratched face and the mutiple bruises taught me well. So well that I think I must've snowploughed all the way downhill. :P


Despite the many falls and injuries, it was a sensational trip. Many thanks to the planner - Sherlin, who did a superb job in getting everything organised. :)

As always, pictures speak better than words ... :)

Can't remember which part of Mt Hotham this is but it was a rather warm day even though the mountains were covered in snow.



The view from where we stayed.



From left to right: Sokling, myself, Om, Joe.



Sokling on my right and Sherlin on my left.






All the 'Sokling and I' shots.




And all the other group shots.



Some shot Sokling took on our way back to Melbourne.



Another one.



Poser Joe.



Sokling and Om. Sokling's an extremely fast learner. She was taking level 3 lessons by the 2nd day even though this was her first time on the snow!



As for Om, she's the expert skier in the group. Parallel ski all the way. ;)



Can tell we had fun. This was taken just before we head back home.

Have no idea what the hell I was doing. Think I was wiping my hands or something. Anyway, just to show where we stayed (didn't manage to take many pics of the place). As you can see, behind is the kitchen. In front of me (which you can't see) is the lounge. And on my left is the stairs leading up to the bedrooms (imagination needed). :P


So that was our skiing trip. Enough details or not, Jean? =P
