Anyway I wanted to share this photo of my Wii Fit family. The rents are in town so there're 4 of us! We spent quite a bit of time designing our mini-mes so that it'd be realistic. Even the heights are accurate! Can you guess who is who?

Miit the Famiily
Wii Fit is the best game investment I've made. I get bored easily so I was really quite surprised that I spend as much time as I do on this. I suppose it's the combination of the enjoyable exercises (my favorite is step!), wanting to beat DH at it, and a naggy Wii Fit Board. It's funny, bordering on irritating when the cartoon version of the Wii Fit Board shames you on your weight gain or tells you that you lack a sense of balance hrmmm .....

Robin's Egg Blue
I was excited by what my cousin found in her garden! A robin's nest ... wow now it all makes sense. I'd always known the color Robin's Egg Blue but never made the connection. Guess I am still a FOB at heart ... haha!
They're so pretty! <3 <3 <3

Happy Birthday !!!
It was DH's birthday on Monday. We went to some fancy french restaurant (L'espalier). I've decided that the people who go there fit this profile 1) celebrating birthday 2) celebrating anniversary 3) celebrating company expense account! The food was pretty yummy, particularly memorable were the cheese course and this wine that is supposedly only bottled for the restaurant. We were quite fascinated by the creamy taste and vanilla after taste hmmm but I don't know much about wine.
And here's another tacky photo collage. (Slide will you offer me a job?) I am not terribly artistic harhar

Gone Sailing
Now that I am about to graduate, I finally signed up for free sailing lessons at school. DH and I went last weekend. I'm sure you want to know if we capsized? HA...no we didn't! YAY! I cannot emphasize how much I did not want to fall into the cess pool Charles river. Not to mention that it was chilly and the water was freezing.
Anyway I think nature and me aren't buddies. The winds were really strong. Thankfully hubs and I worked out a good routine where I was the crew and he the skipper. I liked that set up since I can make sure we weren't zipping around like maniacs :P and anyway I can't seem to get the boat to turn right sigh
But now my back hurts from all the ducking!

Raise Your Hand If
You remember Ken Done!
Read today that iGoogle partnered with some designers like Philip Stark, Tory Burch, Dolce and Gabana, to create skins for the site. How cool huh?
I picked the Ken Done one for my iGoogle for old times sake :) My koala pencil case was all the rage in secondary school.

Sea Squirt
We ate this at a Korean restaurant last week. Sashimi style. I remember seeing it recently on Bizarre foods with Andrew Zimmer (Chile) and thinking it was the most disgusting thing ever. Sea squirt is like a gigantic zit that you squeeze and pus squirts out. YUCK.
How "lucky" we were to try it! Along with sea cucumber sashimi. Hrmmm
Anyway the verdict is sea cucumber is better cooked. And sea squirt is "good for health" :P BTW The appearance of a sea squirt is also so awful that I can't bear to put a photo of it on my blog.
I feel traumatized.

Job Hunting ....
Is like dating. You feel guilty leading them on, especially when you aren't that interested. But then you do it anyway cuz it feels nice to be wanted. :P But all is fair in business right?

Shoes Glorious Shoes
I had so much fun in the Havaiana store that I forgot to take photos. I bought 4 pairs. A brown brazil flag one for the hubs, a bejeweled graphite one, a patterned one, and a wedged one for my cousin. There were so many choices it was hard to choose. Oh did I already mention that the coolest part is you can custom bejewel your flip flops. Classy ? No, but fun? YES!
I don't really know why I need so many flip flops ...
The ones I custom jeweled. :)
Oh and bonus score at my guilty pleasure store, Target. $5 jelly flats. These shall be my rainy day shoes.

Oi from Rio
I am back! Brazil was awesome. A last trip before graduation and going back to the real world? Sniff. First stop was the beach. Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon are all along the same stretch. The beach was nice, but I think I like the cape town beach better :P
The swimming gear of choice in Brazil is the Speedo! Preferred regardless of body type. Of course no trip to Brazil is complete without a visit to Christ the Redeemer.
And a trip to Maracana to watch a soccer match! Though there is evidence to show that I fell asleep during the game. Hey that's what happen when you take the red eye.

Tsk Tsk Sarkozy and Random Things
To make Monday go by faster. Amidst unsettling news in the papers, here's Sarkozy (aka President Bling Bling) and his LV Neverfull! I wish someone would run up to me and hand me a free LV sample. Sigh ...And in other somewhat French related news, I got my long awaited macarons from Tokyo. They were soooo delicious as were the random chocolate cookies that hubs also bought. I am just shocked that he didn't try an extra pastry or two while at Pierre Hermes. Such a shame. MEN!
Anyway my favorites were the jasmine and the rose. The chocolate was just aight. I also couldn't resist sneaking in a photo of Tokyo at dusk (taken by hubs). It looks so cool with the city in greyscale with just a hint of the sun, no photoshop done, I promise, I'm too lazy and unskilled anyway haha.
Oh and in case you're wondering. The macarons were gone in one sitting. Though we did get some help from friends ...

For the Shopping Fiends
A bunch of the traditional B&M's have been launching new lines recently. Perhap under pressure to increase revenue? Some interesting ones I've read about recently.
Martin + Osa: From American Eagle. For the non college crowd.
Madewell 1937: From Jcrew. And I <3 Jcrew!
Gilly Hicks: Abercrombie's foray into lingerie.
The only one I've actually been to is Gilly Hicks. The brand claims to be Australian, but really it's not! The store concept is a bra library, dark and too warm, like all A&F stores. They really just want you to take off all your clothes while inside except no one looks as good as those A&F models. Surprisingly they have pretty cute casual stuff which is refreshing. It is targeted at the college age though, so yeah you shop amongst 16 year olds.
PS: If you visit the site, do so at home not work cuz it's controversial haha
And the best part, they're all at the mall near me. That's going to be my reward for the weekend!

I Dream of Sunnier Times
Weather Today: Grey Clouds, Floods Likely
I was just thinking that our big vacation themes lately have been centered around wild animals. I suppose that's because it meets our requirements. Somewhere a little exotic but still luxurious, somewhere where DH can take photos. And some place where I can coo over strange furry animals ... that will probably bite me if given a chance bah....
Next stop Brazil for Spring break! Did you know that Brazil has the largest rodent (capybara), the largest snake (anaconda), and apparently panthers? But I will only be going to Sao Paolo and Rio. Anti-climatic I know. It's a school trip and I sometimes forget that people have to work :P
PS: Sorry for the music I embedded. Music on blogs are tacky and can be scary for the unsuspecting visitor. But I could not RESIST! (Update: Sky music's removed. I forgot that the music never goes away .... post after post after post!)

Happy Valentine's Day!
Actually, I wanted to post this cute zebra photo for V'day. BUT my photo won't resize properly and it looks all bad now! *Growl* I hate flickr. Ever since yahoo bought it over it's gone to the dogs. :(
On a less grouchy note I got new UGG boots (chocolate color) from DH for V'day! I know I know, I'm 4 years late to the game and its teeny boppery but but I'm tired of freezing my toes .... :P
Oh and you can see the zebra pic I wanted to post here.

Off to Safari Land!
Ahh sipping a carrot orange ginger drink at a Crush Cafe. Last day of work! Woohoo!
DH will be here on Saturday! :D ... then we're off to safari land. Have it all planned out. Robben Island on Saturday then Camps Bay. On Sunday we'll head to Table Mountain in the morning then it's off to the Winelands for some wine tasting and gorging on food. Thinking of lunch at Le Petit Ferme and dinner reservations at Reubens.
Oh and before we leave for the "real" safari, here's me at the "zoo" safari. Apparently cheetahs can be tamed. I want one as a pet! Valentines day gift ... anyone? :)
