New Additions

Hb couldn't stand it anymore. The more he looked at his face on the artist canvas, the more he complained that he looked like he has jaundice, wahahahahahha! Moreover, the sides of the white canvas weren't 100% clean as the production guys didn't wear gloves when they wrapped the canvas around the frame. They usually don't wear gloves anyway, and the work place ain't exactly dust free.

He finally decided to call the vendor who agreed to re-do another piece for us. After sending us many versions of the same piece with different types of borders, we decided that our original design is still the best. It looks brighter and cleaner~! So, on Saturday, Studio Gallery delivered the new canvas and boy, it really looks much better now! Hb don't look like he has jaundice anymore! I think the company is very good in service recovery. They had printed out a new canvas, but as it also got slightly dirty when they were doing the wrapping, they re-printed the artwork again and this time, not only did all the production guys wear gloves, they also placed the canvas on a clean sheet before doing the wrapping on the frame! Our canvas looks perfect now - bright and clean (reminds me of Listerine mouthwash, lol)~ so happy~!

BEFORE

AFTER



After we dismantled our Christmas tree, we thought that we ought to fill up that spot with some decorative items, and we decided to get a big vase. After combing several places just to find a white or beige colour vase that is at least 60cm tall, we finally found it at Harvey Norman!! LOL, of all places to shop for vases, wahahahhahaa! Hb said it looks kinda "cheena", but I didn't think so. Happy me quickly whipped out my hp and took some pics of the vase, then sent them to a few of my pals to seek their opinion. Luck was on my side, cos all said that the vase was very nice, though another friend replied that she personally prefered transparent vases, lol. Here are a few pics:

Anyway, after much hesitation, Hb decided to give in and we bought the vase!!! YAy!!!!! Best of all, there was a 30% discount for floor products, so instead of $169, we only paid $118!! Haha, so happy, now we are only left with the task of shopping for those long curvy-like "sticks" or figs to put inside the vase!

Our living room don't look so empty afterall:



For the first time, I placed the flowers that Hb sent me the other day into a small vase, and manz, they bloomed really beautifully!!! If only I had known earlier, I would have done the same to the previous 12 bouquets that he had given me instead of throwing them away after a few days!

they ACTUALLY bloom after being removed from those bouquets? Oh man, everytime I get them, I just happily leave them to dry up and wilter, and then throw them away once I get a new bouquet... A waste huh, tsk tsk... seeing now that they do grow after all
