They say a man’s best friend is often his dog. Mine are these two clowns who keep me entertained and smiling every day with their adoration and love :)

Like I’m the best super human in the world…….

An SMS conversation I had with a friend today…

There’s something about plain backgrounds and quirky faces….

Of course, having a bright pink paper crown helps :)

New Year’s Eve Party, 2010 @ Canning Town

This conversation took place the night before Christmas….

Me: Hey, guess what! I found a potato in the living room.

Him: Yah, where?

Me: On the couch.

*Silence*

Me: It was trying to be a couch potato!!

Insane laughter.

And really beautiful. London is covered in snow and the place has transformed into a magical Christmas town (you know, with Christmas trees illuminating from windows, smoke coming out from chimneys, children building snowman in their gardens).

As much as people bitch about the snow, I can’t see how anyone can hate it. Sure, it disrupts traffic. And, you fall and slip. Yes, it is a pain in the arse - having to wear two thermals, two pairs of socks, a huge jacket, two leggings, gloves and a beanie (only to realise that you need to pee before you go out).

But with the snow so soft like icing (or cloud) and the nice crunch-crunch-crunch when you walk in the park… magical, like I said before.

The gruesome discovery we made yesterday:

“Err.. what egg did you buy?”

“Salted duck egg lar! To go with the porridge.”

“Hmm.. come look.”

*Off to inspect the scene*

“Eww, is that a partially formed duck fetus????? And you sliced it in half?”

“You said to cut the egg!”

*No, I didn’t take a photo of the discovery. I wanted to…. but I didn’t want the image of the half chopped, half formed duck to be embedded in my mind. Urgh, I can still remember what it looks like. I swear it was a salted duck egg.*

I know, I know - resolutions DON’T work. But just for the fun of it, I’ve made up some (which I can be quite achievable - none of those I will give up carbs for 2011 thing).

So far, these are some I’ve thought up of:

1. I am going to run 12K by June 2011. I can already do 5K, so that means just running an extra kilometres a month to make it! I can do it, right?

2. I am going to take more photos. I already did a lot in 2009 and 2010, but I feel like towards the end, I just kinda stopped. Maybe it was a case of too many photos but nevertheless, I will take more. Of friends, my dogs, family and candid ones.

3. I am going to cook more, cook better, cook for people.

4. I want to learn how to make a video. Or something close.

More to come!

Adding to the list before 2011!

5. I will spend less, earn more, save even more.

6. I will climb outdoors at least once this year.
