last day in norway, not happy about it but the world just keeps spinning.
spent some time taking cute pictures of the cat, shopping abit, cuddling and watching tv... and i'll get on talking about the cat before this gets depressing.
took a pic for xinyi, who asked me to take a pic of cat1 and cat2. cat2 is the one she got me for my bday this year XD yes, that was a positioned shot, but she didnt mind having the toy there and she even gave it a lick.
"oh holy feather, i pray to thee..."
action shot, she jumps about 20cm in the air to catch her beloved feather!
now on to recent knitting projects, mostly done while multi-tasking. mainly when:
1: playing lotro
2: watching movies/tv
3: socializing
4: on the boat back to trondheim!
knitted this for Alex in 2 days, had to even go back to the wool store to get an extra ball of wool and it was the last one left! WHEW. annoying fact about wool : you have to get them around the same period of time, because different batches can turn out in different shades :P its highly annoying.
then i knitted me a beret, which was really fast and easy. i like it alot, and alex said it suits me =) made out of wool i had lying around, and had to go back to the store for ONE more effing ball again. considering i've had this wool lying around for a year, the shade was totally off it might as well be classified as a different colour. luckily they had another brand of wool that was so similar in colour, just had to buy two of it to combine to get it thick enough.
aaand from the side. mainly cabled work.
and this is mochimochisnowman! spent $3USD just to buy the pattern for it =P but its so cute! i'm going to do my usual variation of faces. good way to get rid of little bits of wool lying around too...
also made miniature pigs and a small netted bag.. and half a bag which got messed up, and i'll fix later.
thats it for now.
update 1: photography
i wonder now how much it'll take to be a real nature photographer, when i was climbing over slipper rocks to get nearer to the rolling waves in the stormy winter sea. i -HAD- to get closer cuz i wanted to take nice pics of the waves, especially when it curls XD you just dont see that in singapore.
to top it off, it started to hail X) ahh. hail isnt that bad actually, as long as you dont imagine the classic comic-book bowling ball sized hail stones. personally, i think its better than snow since it doesnt melt as fast (hence you can brush it off after walking to where you want instead of getting your jacket wet) and it looks like those mini ice cream thing they sell in vending machines in some malls XD. cant remember what its called, but i had it with kas once at tampines mall, i think.
pictures are yet again taken in RAW, so i'll probably only handle that when i'm back in singapore.
side note: i'm sick of people asking me when i return. shoo.
Update 2: the pukey cat
little adventure today, since the cat was out a full 24 hours, spending most of that time hiding under a fence, in a hole. (there's knee deep snow piled up now) we tried calling her, she'd come out and meow pitifully cuz she apparently couldnt jump back up to our side. We tried puting a plank so she could climb up, but she didnt even approach it. I even went to ring all the damn doorbells in the neighbouring property but NO ONE WAS HOME?!
so finally, i had to yet AGAIN climb the garage roof X). and its filled with snow X). my frozen butt.
and i had to coax her out ,spending quite some time just by that hole... finally she came out long enough for me to grab her and toss her over the fence to alex. only then she became calmer.. i got a scratch in the process, but when i went into the house and shoved my hand under her nose going "you see? huh ? h.." and she starts licking my hand... awww, ok , its not her fault anymore.
she was quite unstable though, dashed for her food ( i had just watched a tv show where a cat got shipped from america to france in a container, spending almost a month without food.. and my cat cant even survive one day without freaking out) and puked it out promptly a few minutes later.
i had to admire alex for catching the puke with his hand.
and she puked again later on the bedroom rug.........
but now she's okay, sleeping loads more. very happy to get cuddled ^^
ah, i do love this cat. she's so cute, especially at night when i snuggle into bed and she'll jump up, and climb on top of me and lie down there for awhile to get some pets... and after that she'd spend the night sleeping on the left side of the bed, shifting from the head of the bed to the foot at times.
alrighty, time for snacks and a movie!
