Spring cleaning

Its a tradition for Chinese to do their spring cleaning before Chinese New Year, to get rid of the old and invite the new.

Many old things have to go in order to allow new stuff comes in..
After shopping in Ikea for new stuff to revamp my room...
Bought new pics, new curtains, new Quilt set, a huge mirror to transform my pc table into a dressing table since I am giving my pc to my little brother so that he can his own pc and feel more comfortable and have the sense of belonging with us.

Well..actually my main mission there was to purchase two or more dinning chairs for our dinning set given by my elder brother.
Not sure why this time I was so absent minded...didn't take the pic of our 'new' dinning set so that I can chose a pair of chairs which can fit well..
no choice...did what I can just rough recall...RECALLING RESULT = 5% HAHAHA..
at the end after taking a few snaps of dinning chairs which i think fits..I mms to my sister to let her chose..At the end she say all is fine..
Haiz..
Had to make a decision myself..

Tummy is grumbling...feeling hungry..
Thanks to Billy..last year I helped him to design his room from scratch with a budget of cuz..and then after visiting his new place we went Ikea to shop around..Basically I am the one who shop I should say. He is not a shopping person.He can be an active person BUT when coming to shopping ...

It was a wonderful time doing shopping for him or for my family members. Perhaps its part of my nature and dreams.

As the reward for my hardwork...he gave the Ikea membership card under my name.
Which I am very thankful cuz I can now go Ikea more often and enjoy my free cup of coffee and tea while enjoying the delicious meal there.

Ikea sells great and delicious food...thus even if me and Joyce doesn't go to buy anything for Ikea..we will go there for dinner..tea or coffee..hee
Joyce is the one who got me going Ikea frequently as she is an interior designer. I fell in love with the food there since..

There are few things which u MUST TRY..at Ikea restaurant..
WORLD BEST Fried Chicken Wings..hahaha..
WORLD BEST meat balls..with the special sauce..

The salmon is pretty good too...so is the Herbal Chicken..Yummy...
Each time if I go with Joyce..we will order each of everything and share..
but since I was alone yesterday..I had to limit my order...
See what have i got...

Looks Yummy huh?? Hee..yes it is...
My sister called me to pack their meatballs for her as well..hee

After settling my tummy...its time to settle which dinning chair I want..
Finally..the winner is....

Yes..Cuz it looks classy and feels comfortable..dad will like it for sure.
I bought two of this and got 2 bright green stackable chair as well..and my other stuffs..

After reaching home..I started fixing up the chairs with dad's help and my sister help to carry those things up from the cab to our place..
The life-upgrading is still in progress..so its really tough job..

Thereafter I start clearing up my room...
now is still in battling stage...Chaos..hee..
Threw piles of HongKong Magazines aways which is really heavy..I collect magazines for my graphic design inspiration...Left a few tho..

There is time for everything. Seasons come Seasons go..
Like the Chinese New Year..
Certain things even used to have memorable value have to go so that new things can come it..fresh air can come in.

I take it as ..this is life..
Since I have tried my best to make certain things work but it didn't..
There's nothing much I can do.

Alright gotta carry on throwing away old 'precious' stuff now..and look forward to a new life like my new revamp room..

Happy Spring Cleaning everyone!

Final Destination of Everyone

Money often deceive us, leading us to forget we will die some day. Poor people will die, Rich people will also die.
In the bible, it says to the Rich, today your life will be taken from you, what will happen to the riches you have stored up for yourself.
So be Wise- store up for yourself treasures in heaven which never rot as it has eternal value.
Our stay in this world is but only max. hundred over years..
but compare to life in eternity after death, what seems long here is but only a grain in heaven.

My Zodiac

Angeline's Zodiac Sign - TAURUS

9 may Taureans never slap or sting. Rather, they creep up on you, affect you deeply and leave their indelible impression on your soul. Think of Taurus as a long sensual kiss. A huge tender bear hug. Or an eiderdown on a cold alpine night. Taureans are warm (but sometimes stodgy) customers.

Many Taureans work with their hands. Even if a Taurus is a computer expert and seems more cerebral than manual, nine times out of ten there is a hidden craft or hobby lurking behind the scenes. Taureans enjoy forging beautiful things from natural materials. In fact, they are attracted to all sorts of beauty. Music thrills them. Flowers enchant them. The countryside seduces them. And art is their natural habitat.

Taureans are forever building their own workshops and renovating barns and old churches. They are not only home-loving, they like to get their hands into the cement and slather on the plaster, if only for the tangible joy of playing in the mud.

Taureans do not take kindly to sudden change. They like to be wherever they are supposed to be when it is time to be there. Taureans readily adjust to routine and for that reason make fabulous employees. Precipitous and unexpected events requiring flexibility and resilience may cause Taureans to dig in their hooves and refuse to budge. Bulls are obstinate and determined to hold their ground. It is wiser not to try to talk Taurus out of a sulk. Just let him paw the earth and snort and seethe on his own. Take a tranquilizer and a walk. Soon, when the inevitable becomes blatantly inevitable, Taurus will budge of his own accord, come out of his sulk and go with the flow.

Sensuality belongs to Taurus. Wherever there is pleasure you will find a Taurean plunk in the middle of it all. They love to bask in the "good life." Taureans cannot resist the tug of the opposite sex. When an attractive newcomer arrives on the scene, count on Taurus to see to it that the outsiders have a drink, are made comfortable and have slipped Taurus a telephone number or two.

Taureans are amorous and romantic without being flighty or maudlin. They are tender and don't mind public displays of affection. Love and all of its expressions appeal to the Bull. Taureans can be counted on to stray a bit where sex is concerned, but they never flaunt their infidelities and usually avoid sticky extracurricular entanglements. If you love a Taurus, feed him.
