It's that time of the year again!

Can't believe I haven't blogged since October! I've been so busy. Might tell you about it another time. Just another one of my 'projects' I've been working on. Wonder if I'll see it through. Most nights, I get back from work too tired to do anything else.

Well, hear ye, hear ye! If it isn't that time of the year again....where crazy hot Singapore becomes wet and rainy and you start seeing Christmas lights twinkling in the streets and malls! My favourite time of the year! No snow for me brrrr....thank you. This cool weather is just nice! Dig out the pashminas, I say!

Well, I could see dear hubs could hardly contain himself. Deepavali and Hari Raya Haji were barely over before he threw open the storeroom door and dragged out our multitude of Christmas decor. Yep! We're all dolled up and good to go!

Okay, that's a pathetically skinny, synthetic Christmas tree. We'll have to wait a bit longer if we wish to have a fresh tree that can 'make it' through Christmas (we had both last year) so hubs usually puts up the fakey first, followed by the real one closer to Christmas. He'll usually just place the fakey one outside the apartment (which he has also decorated).

And here's half a pic of our newly painted altar (in burnt orange - below). Mike and I did that up over the Hari Raya long weekend. Well, actually, it only took about 2 hours to paint and dry and paint and dry....

and in the bottom corner, is our mini grotto with twinkly blue lights!
