Housewarmings

I was looking through my blog the other day and realized that I have not been blogging since 30th April! Wow, that’s a good two months without writing. It means I am happy. Haha.. Yes, people, I generally blog when I am upset. Beats me why I have not inspiration to write when I am happy. Perhaps I am just floating up there somewhere in the clouds!

That aside, V is back from Italy but soon due to go off somewhere else, for 4 days. At least it’s a very reasonable period to be away for, much less compared to the 3.5 months he was away for.

We’ve settled in nicely into our apartment and I’m so happy with it! The simple yet chic design has brought us many compliments. And of course, we have our designer to thank for it. And ourselves, of course. Anyway, yes, we’ve been having many housewarmings with small groups of friends. Most people want to use our pool table and others just sit around to chit chat, or enjoy our bean bag sofa. We seem to have many features in the house, but it still retains its simplicity. We also bought furniture that can easily be moved to accommodate the size of the group.

Recently, I had my cousins and their partners over for drinks on a Friday night, and I cooked mushrooms wrapped in bacon, chocolate fondue and also made a guacamole dip! All courtesy of allrecipes.com (www.allrecipes.com) It’s a website where people share recipes that are simple to prepare but taste oh so good! Two nights ago, I invited the UCL people over, and I made a no bake cheesecake which was yum! Although the texture wasn’t quite right, they all agreed it tasted good. I am so happy! Cooking is turning out to be my new passion. It nicely fits in with the fact that I’m an ultimate foodie and getting fatter everyday. Oops, don’t tell V.

Anyhow, my friends overseas, I hope that one day you can too come to see my beautiful apartment, because I am just so happy living in it. It brings me such joy to come home and find a place I am so comfortable with. Pictures soon to come.
