The countdown begins

Little Koda is due to arrive next weekend! Will be going off to Julie's place to meet his siblings one last time. Hopefully the house will be spotless and free of ringworms for Koda's arrival.

In the mean time, here's a little signature I made for the forums.

Movie watched today: Memento (2000)
Awesome movie! Definitely is on my must watch list. Am certainly going to watch the movie again, just because it is that awesome. :)

So I started a Flickr account, just because I felt like it. :)
Uploaded some shots taken on my nature walk, so I probably wouldn't bother uploading them here too.

Gosh. I'm lazy. =x

Rustling of papers

First week of classes went pretty smoothly, with me getting a tad worried about Market Analysis.

Hate numbers, seriously, Ray had to attend the lecture explain things to me.

-sighs-

At least we managed to take a cool shot of the moon while walking back from Market Analysis class.

Colours are my world

I woke up 8am and waited... waited... waited.

And waited a little more.

Took a quick shower and continued waiting.

For this little baby to arrive. :)

What can I say, this little one is just gorgeous! Amazing zoom and stunning HD videos. I am so in love.

Went out immediately to The Parade to check out the W995a, but darn 3 had to pop my bubble by saying that I am not eligible to upgrade my handset just yet. That dampen my mood a little, just a teensy weensy bit.

Grabbed a pack of rechargable Eneloop batteries as well as one that consists of the charger and 4 extra AA batteries. We spent the rest of the time just hanging around while waiting for our movie to start.

So Public Enemies wasn't exactly my cup of tea, but I did had a good nap. :)

And to top it all off, Ray managed to get me a SanDisk Extreme III SDHC 8gb with 30mb/s read/write speed by taking advantage of OfficeWorks' price-beat system. Ahh. This has got to be one of the best days of my life.

And to end the day as well as this post, here's what the SX1 and Photoshop combined can do.

It's one of those moments

2009-07-26T00:32:00.002+09:30

Fooling around in Photoshop. I quite like this effect. :)

Am on our second night of LotR movie marathon. Things do make more sense when you have someone explaining it to you. Next on the list would be Matrix, hopefully I'll get the hang of that too.

This goes on my Christmas list

2009-07-25T00:42:00.005+09:30

New goal.

Canon PowerShot SX1 IS.

Isn't she a beauty? :)

Who knew that cats can go crazy over a little toy.
Its feathers are close to dead, and the toy just arrived in the mail yesterday!

At least it was worth buying Da Bird. :)

I know I've promised pictures of Koda, but I'm rather lazy to upload them. Perhaps another time.

And I'll need to remember to disconnect my camera from the USB cable after use, the battery keeps dying because I left it switched on overnight.

And their personalities shine

It's been years since I've heard about Thumbelina - let alone watching it. How I miss my childhood days, just lazing around watching cartoons till my heart is content. Recently I've watched all three movies of Aladdin and I still think that the final one, Aladdin and the King of Thieves is the best. That was the name I picked out for our little Koda - Sancheita King of Thieves but Ray laughed it off. It's back to the drawing board.

Visited Julie on Saturday so expect more pictures of the little buggers to pop up soon. They're extremely active, especially the little girl with the pink collar which we've nicknamed Pinky. How I wish that the payment will drop through so that I'm able to have her for myself. She is freaking adorable. Pinky would not leave me alone throughout the entire visit. Of course it may have something to do with the strings on my hood, but who cares? She's still cute all the same. :)

And there's little Blacky, the shy guy with the black collar which took a little encouraging before emerging from his shell. My, he is beautiful. What a little cute one. He is rather small when compared to his brothers, might be the little runt of the litter. Oh how I love runts, they often have the most beautiful personalities.

Last, but definitely not least, we have our little Koda in the green collar. Green looks awesome on him, cool in a subtle way. He's the little fatty that bullies his sibling. *laughs*

There were two without collar, a boy and a girl. But they pretty much blend in with the crowd, therefore, did not really held my attention. The little guy did bit my finger pretty hard though.

But seriously, Koda was amazing. So lively and interested with everything around him. He is not the least fazed with the camera pointed right in his face and even posed for some shots. Before we left, I had this brilliant idea of placing the kittens in the hood of my jacket for a photoshoot. Pinky and Koda cooperated beautifully and Ray managed to take some gorgeous shots of them. We did not tried with other kittens as they were totally exhausted and preferred to snooze in their warm little beds.

So there goes another week of being with my baby. There's still another month or so before he comes home, and I'm certainly going to miss his siblings. They are all so adorable and special. How I wish I could adopt them all. I guess in a way, I'm glad I do not have my own place. Could you imagine the kittens all stalking and jumping around? :)

Where's the fireplace when you need it?

Winter is certainly the wettest time of the year. I've never seen so much rain ever since I came to Adelaide. Why, there was even thunder and lightning two nights ago. Although I have to admit I was rather freaked out.

Guess what I saw in the rain 30 minutes ago? Two gorgeous rainbows side-by-side. One was slightly paler than the other, but it was still magnificent. My first double-rainbow sighting. :)

Weather has been pretty cold lately. When Dante decides to snooze on my lap and Lyra stealing his spot later on definitely proves that the temperature is unbearable, even for a furry boofy guy. I had to resort to wearing double jackets over my shirt. It is that bad.

Still, I love winter. The air is fresh and cooling, kitties tend to snuggle beside you more than usual, hot soup during the night makes you feel all warm and fuzzy... what's there not to love about it?

Danteboo is in his kneading-mode again. My little fluffybutt who purrs like a tiny engine. Man... I can't wait till little Koda comes home. Life is definitely going to get more interesting.

Hands are freezing so it's getting a little hard to punch in anymore letters. I'll go snuggle in bed tucked in my warm comforter... or perhaps a nice hot soak in the tub would do the trick. Either way, I'm definitely loving winter. :)

3D glasses look dorky

My e-mail has not been receiving mail for three whole days! I knew it was weird when I have not been receiving my daily updates from moderncat, and not receiving email updates from Ebay reconfirmed my suspicions. Boy... was I freaked out when I realised I have no idea who to contact regarding my problem.

Finally, Ray suggested that we should get a domain name so that we can have our own e-mail addresses, it also gives me a peace of mind that I have someone that I could contact when there's problems. Now I'm on a mission to find the perfect domain name. Something that looks good after my name... Hmm. This isn't an easy choice since I'll have to think of something that isn't too girly.

Oh well. After fretting about my email and finally contacting the helpdesk of Co.Cc, we've decided to go to The Parade to take my mind off stuff. Watched Ice Age 3 in 3D. Oh man, it was totally awesome! I am never watching normal quality in cinemas... ever! Coraline looks great in 3D, the next movie that goes on my list. Up is good too, oh and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is so darn cute! I know the name sounds silly but I actually quite like it. It's pretty catchy and is bound to stand out.

Oh while walking around The Parade, I came across a book sale in Angus & Robertson. I dragged Ray towards the book sale and ended up with this.

Interesting read. But man... I hate what's in store in the last section. Surprisingly, Ray bought a book about marine transportation, although I do believe he has yet to finish the last book he bought which happened to be on the same topic.

We watched Knowing starring Nicholas Cage after we got home since Ray was in the mood for another movie. It started off beautifully, but like War of the Worlds, conjured up a silly ending. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed most of the parts. Would most certainly love to view the movie in 3D.

Now I'm off to browse some video reviews of the beautiful Sony Ericsson W995. Seems like I'll be on another phone-hunt. At least there's the visit to Julie's place this weekend to look forward to, more time to spend with dear baby Koda. And more new pictures of him to share!

Till then, ciaos!

About

2009-06-06T10:00:00.003+09:30

A twenty-one year young female with a love for life. Enjoys curling up on a rainy day with a good book and hot chocolate as companion. Chocolates are my secret and sinful indulgence.

Shares my house with a cream tabby male that answers to the name of Orion and is known as the family cat, a tiny female Birman that belongs to my boyfriend who goes by the name of Lyra and demands things her way, and finally my sweet Ragdoll boy Dante who is the floppiest cat you'll ever find. Soon to arrive in this crazy family of five is a young Bengal kitten that is christened Koda, which means friend in Dakota Sioux, one of the many Native American dialects.

Is also in love with a wonderful and charming young man that never fails to bring a smile to my face. Thanks to my crazy obsession with kitties, I have officially converted us both into cat-people. :)
