Christmas corner in home sweet home

Christmas corner in home sweet home

din wanna get a actual christmas tree cos it's gonna take up my storeroom space for 11 months out of the 12 months every year and since i have a 'big' tree smacked in the 'middle' of my living room, might as well make use of it.... heee....

with a trip to diaso and a trip to ntuc, i managed to create my very own, special, unique, only one in the world diy decal xmas tree... wahahahahha....

i say it looks like a xmas tree means it LOOKS like a xmas tree....wahahhaha...self hypnosis....

imagine - flickering lights

(on a xmas tree)

Creative Xmas Tree Ideas

Christmas in a month's time.... time to convert my decal tree into a xmas tree lo.... went diaso and bought $26 worth of xmas ornaments... but it's really easier said than done lo... ornaments bought were too small....my tree, although triangular in shape just dozen look like a xmas tree at all.... went online to search for inspiration and was amazed at how creative people can be lo....gonna share some of my favourite diy xmas trees with all of u... =) 

my personal xmas tree is still a disaster.... will try my best at beautifying it for the next few days ...planning to get the nighted bulbs.... and unless i'm satisfied with it will there be a blogpost about it... heee

Bits and Pieces of Europe (4)

The last installment of our europe bits and pieces...=)

Bits and Pieces of Europe (3)

 A must go place from Florence.... postcard view with every camera shot....=)

a handwritten instruction for everyone who took the train instead of continue the second round of the hike...and there were like at least 20 of us....hmmmm.... they could just print it out and fill in the time of the train right???? and the weird thing is that they wrote everything in capital letters...... 

many many train tickets from florence to the nearby places 

receipt from the Bed and Breakfast in venice

venice map at 1.50 euro....a total waste of money....not helpful at all as it impossible to navigate around the small alleys...

it's more helpful to look for the signages that point to the 2 main attraction...and there's no need to take waterbus at all when travelling within the same island.... it takes only about 20-25 minutes by foot from one end to the other end

day trip to the 3 islands of venice....

ATVO ticket and bus schedule - bus that took us from venice to airport

plane ticket from venice to greece

bus ticket from greece airport to our hotel near the port

network key given ...weird cos different level of the hotel has a different network key....

Bits and Pieces of Europe (2)

either his or mine was kept....couldnt match a pair....hahahha

this sticker thingy is so interesting and so considerate

yeap....i even stun the menu back....cos i had accidentally crumpled it a little so dun think they would wan to recycle it.... the coffee mousse was SUPER YUMMILIOUS lo.... =)

namecard of Bed & Breakfast place in Rome

  and its wifi access

Bus/Train Tickets

Entrance tickets to vatican museum...the one with tons and tons of (boring) white statues....yawnS....

Part of our rome map.... a must to have as the 'must visit' places in rome are mostly within 'walking' distance....


more parts on Bits & Pieces of Europe to come as i'm digitalising all the itsy bitsy stuff that i collected during the trip....had wanted to make a scrapbook on our honeymoony with these bits & pieces but was too busy & too lazy....oopx.... so took photos of them for membrance and in the bin they went...oopx.....=P

Bits and Pieces of Europe (1)

While Mr Ang went on a shopping spree and chalked up these receipts in Europe 

I chalked up some pictures and postcards to be put up around the house.... =) ....not that i m any more arty farty just that they are cheap enough for me to want to collect along the trip other than the magnets we bought.... 

The leaning tower of pisa...actually damn obvious right???? This was the first picture that i bought cos i really wanted to get something for myself....4 euro....

The gondola in venice, off st mark's square

still in venice

The colourful houses in Burano, an island off venice which we visited on our day trip

The Ponte Vecchio Bridge in Florence, where we got ripped of 10 euro for a waffle ice cream thingy...

The white, pink and green duomo in Florence..... the picture cost about 4 to 5 euro each while the post cards were at 1 to 2 euro each...so in total, we spent like 20 euro on these pictures and they are still waiting for lazy me to put them up around the house...hahahaha....
