Flowery post

I snapped on macro lens on my good ol camera yesterday and went around the front of the house. Managed to get some shots of flowers. :D

I love how close I can get to the flowers!


This flower was the size of my thumb. Sooooo tiny and yet so perfect!!!!!! <3

 

Playing catch ups

Ughhh… I may be the worst blogger ever…. The only reason why I remembered this blog was because I had to renew the domain name… I was wondering if I should since I can’t seem to keep up with blogging regularly and also because this facebook thing has been so much more efficient in updating my comings and goings…. (Well, only to people I know though…)

But I think about how long this blog has been around and funnily enough, we do develop some attachments to something that is virtual…. I still like writing and blogging and I know I would want to have this form of outlet available to me when I need to, even if there isn’t anyone else coming here anymore (incidentally, IS THERE anyone out there reading this? HAHAHA).

2011 has been a very busy year for me and my family. We had a new addition mid November. Here’s a few pics of him:

Carrot (as Chubbs had nicknamed him when he was still in my tummy), is a very good baby. He sleeps through most of the nights and is generally cheerful. He is also outgrowing his clothes fast. He is about 2 months old now and almost outgrowing clothes for 3-6 month old babies!We are very blessed to have him. :)

 

On the uni front – I did very well in the last semester. (1 High Distinction, 2 Distinctions and 1 Credit [which was 2 marks short of a Distinction!])

As I have taken summer semester off to have Carrot, I would be replacing the units in an extra year. I am returning to Uni at the end of Feb… (hope I would be able to update the blog still!!!!!!)

On the arty crafty front – I’m still knitting and sewing. :D I do have some bags in the store and hope to sew more bags to add to the store as well as handdyed yarn.

Photography wise, I would like to join fatmumslim’s Photo-a-day challenge. I *may not* do a photo everyday.. (don’t want to promise anything! Look what happened to my project 365! LOL) but I try my best!

 

We had a barbie by the beach yesterday. Lovely summer day! The coastal drive down was beautiful and the food was DELICIOUS! I wished I took a photo of the food before we ate!
We then went for a hike after lunch:

There were uphills and downhills and it was fun for the 2 older kids. Our purpose was to wear them out for easy bed time… hehehehehe.

This picture was one of the first I took yesterday. I forgot to check the camera settings and therefore had overexposed shots. Ack!!!

Sunshine walking down the stairs leading to another beach. :D

We found beds and beds of MUSSELS!!!!!! Most of them are tiny but some of them are big enough to be eaten. Not that we eat mussels though. :D

This oyster shell got me into trouble – I didn’t see the tide coming in and my shoes and socks got wet! Chubbs also had a wet shoe as he stepped into a tide pool by accident…. Hahaha.

 

After the hike, we had delicious watermelon (ahhhh the joys of summer!) and then we went to rest for a while at our friends’ house.

She put them in her wheelbarrow and wheeled them around her huge garden!

Alrighty. I promise to TRY to write often. Do holler in the comments if there’s still anyone lingering around!
