Happy Third Anniversary my darling husband

Posted on June 24, 2014 | 33 comments

Today is our wedding anniversary. Like every anniversary, I am writing a letter to my dear hubby.

My dearest AS,

I can’t believe that it has been three years of our union because it feels like only yesterday that I met you again and I started believing in forever. Now that we are together, I want to believe in eternity.

I am glad we have made it so far and I am sure we will go far as we love this journey that we are in together. Every year our anniversary becomes more and more special as every year seems to bring more and more happiness and priceless memories.

I couldn’t have done anything without you by my side. Since I met you, my life has never been the same. Thanks for making it better and happier. Even though we are supporting different teams during FIFA world cup, I know that you are happy when my team wins and vice versa. (You know that my team goona win the cup 🙂 ). Despite our differences, I always have fun when I am with you and that is the most important thing and the most precious moments of my life. At least we agree on one thing that The Games of Thrones is the best series ever.

When I feel sad I turn to you for support and when I feel happy I turn to you to celebrate  because I know you will be there for me as my partner and guide. I know I don’t say it often but I want to thank you for all the love and care, for all the moments we shared, which I truly treasured. Happy Anniversary, my love!

All my love, now and always!

Yours M

30 Days list

Posted on June 17, 2014 | 6 comments

How many times has it happened to you that you buy something and as soon as you come home you realise that you don’t like it or you don’t need it. Sometimes you can return them but others you are stuck with. It happens to me a lot and I get annoyed for not being smarter with my buying.

I like something in the shop after trying it on and checking it properly so I happily give my credit card only to be disappointed in it after I come home.

So I and AS made a pact, if we are spending more than $100 items doesn’t matter what it is, we will keep them in our 30 days list. After 30 days if we still feel like we want that item then we will go and buy it.

We read it somewhere and thought it might work out for us and save us some money in the process.

I have a few items in the list already and waiting for the 30 days to pass.

Looks like I might buy one of the item but the others I can easily give them a pass.

What do you think of our 30 days list idea? What do you do to stop yourself buying things on impulse? Please share your ideas here.

Take care,

Australia won the World Cup and the weekend update

Posted on June 16, 2014 | Leave a comment

I know FIFA World Cups is still underway (I am not crazy :P) and I know that Australia lost its first match against Chile but that is not what I am talking about here.

Australia is the world champions once again, defending their Hockey World Cup title with a 6-1 demolition of the Netherlands. 😀 😀 😀

Australian hockey team also known as the Kookaburras played the most dominant performance of the tournament and gave Australians a reason to celebrate :).

Now back to the soccer world cup, I enjoyed heaps of soccer last weekend. It was great to be home and watch the games. Saturday started early for us as there were a few games on but the very important one at 8am was Chile vs Australia.

It was so disappointing to watch 2 goals from Chile in the first 15 minutes. Seriously, every goal was so painful but Australia did still really push them hard. Then the magic happened, Tim Cahill’s goal with a brilliant header gave some hope back to the Aussies.

There were a few opportunities for Australia in the second half like Cahill (twice) and Mathew Leckie, both headed over during the second half, while Mark Bresciano struck a sweet far-post half-volley that was saved by Claudio Bravo.

Australia went down to Chile 3-1 and I am sad because Australia played really well. We will take on the Netherlands next on Thursday morning. I know Netherlands are good after watching their game with Spain but there is still some hope.

After the game on Saturday, I made a big breakfast with bacon, hash browns, beans, mushroom, eggs, bread and tea. It was more like a brunch than a breakfast and it kept us full for a long time.

The plan for the rest of the afternoon was to clean the house but our friends called to check if we were interested to go to eat Newari food for lunch. We couldn’t resist so we went to Bhancha to enjoy lunch with them. We ordered Fokso fry, Nhyapu (brain fry), jhol momo, choila and chatamari. The food was yummy and I had fun with their daughter.

After a very satisfying lunch, we went to the beach again. We wanted to give our failed walk from last weekend another try and this time there was no rain.

It took us over 90 minutes (over 10,000 steps) to do that walk but it was one of the best things we did for the weekend. The sunset was just beautiful and AS and I talked the whole time.

As the lunch was so filling, AS had salad for dinner and I had some fruits and that was the end of Saturday.

Sunday was planned as a lazy Sunday so we had late breakfast and caught up on some TV shows. I have to admit I wasted many hours watching mindless things on YouTube instead of cleaning the house. So it was already 2pm when I went to the kitchen to make lunch for the day and for the following day. I made an easy chicken couscous, which turned out nice.

After that we Skyped with our parents; it is always nice to catch up with them. By the time we were done with both the family, it was almost the end of the weekend.

Of course, we watched more soccer this morning. Go Argentina 🙂

How was your weekend? Hope you had heaps of fun too.

Take care,

Nappy Cake

Posted on June 7, 2014 | 4 comments

As I have written before there are many kids around us right now. Recently a friend of mine had a baby girl and it added to a long list of kids my friends and family have.

Anyway, we are invited to the nwaran of this baby and I did not know what to get her. Finally I decided to do a nappy cake and with the help of AS I was able to do this.

It took a few attempts and I took the help of YouTube video but it was very easy and I am glad with the end result.

nappy cake for girl

To make sure the nappy cake stands tall, we used a cardboard roll in the middle. I also used blankets and baby dress I had bought in the middle of the bottom layer so I used fewer nappies to make the circle.

As it is a girl, I decorated it with a pink ribbon and a flower made out of the ribbon.

I didn’t documents each step as I wasn’t sure about how it would end up but I will be doing this again next time if anyone of my friends or family will has a baby as it is super easy and looks really nice.

Please share you tips and tricks for my next attempt 🙂

Take care,

Happy Weekend

Posted on May 26, 2014 | Leave a comment

I am loving the weather in Sydney for the last few days, it’s been over 25oC and just amazing to be out and about.

On Friday after work, I was Skyping with my parents when AS returned home from work. I was on Skype for another 30 minutes before I finished talking with my parents. As soon as I was done, I wanted to go to the kitchen to make tea for us but as I was about to do so, I saw AS coming with a tray with tea and cakes. When he put the tray down, I was even happier to see a red rose on the tray. It was a nice surprise and I was touched. As I always believe little things definitely helps a lot and it definitely helped to lift my mood, and that is how I started the beautiful weekend.

spoiled

On Saturday, I wanted to go for my morning run but as I was coughing the whole night I decided against it and instead watched Downtown Abbey until AS woke up. When he did, he asked me to rest and cooked me a nice warm breakfast in bed. He is really looking after me so well that I feel so spoiled. We stayed home most of the day enjoying each other’s company, talking and planning our life.

Later in the afternoon after lunch, he ran me a bubble bath so I could relax. Since my sickness, I am feeling tired and my body feels weak so it was a good way to unwind and relaxed my body and my mind too. We went for a walk in the evening just to enjoy the fresh air.

On Sunday, we woke up early and went to IKEA for breakfast and quick shopping before coming home to change and attend our friend’s birthday party. She served us an amazing hotpot for lunch and it was a perfect weather to enjoy the food and company.

They also had lemon and orange in their garden so I picked some for the first time in my life. It was so much fun.

Hope all of you had a great weekend too and happy Monday everyone.
