a mousy conversation

here's a sneak peek at our home. to be frank, i'm a little shy about showing bits and pieces of it. for one, i'm very uncertain about my taste and this has so far been a "solo show" aesthetics-wise. anyhoo, here it is, from the vantage point of where i sit with my computer. the walls are a soft gray - the ceiling is painted the same color. The curtains are "champagne", they have a soft sheen and a slubby look in daylight. the couch is IKEA's interpretation of Florence Knoll's, on it cushions from sweet Elaine and behind the couch is this huge teak mirror we scored from craigslist, still unhung. the good thing is that most of the boxes are unpacked but we still have tons to do. i bought the orchids because they were of the same color as a chinese stool (<-- haha) we were thinking of getting. in case you were wondering, yes, i blame martha stewart for such a blatant act of OCD but i just couldn't commit to a SGD150 stool without making sure the color fits into the grand scheme of things....

anyhoo, enough of my obsessing about the mundane (eric's crazy obsessed too - it's 11 pm and he's out in the balcony spray-painting a rack), here's a thrilling video of Christian, who decided to venture into our bedroom when i was putting away bedlinens under our storage bed. He then promptly went to my laptop on my makeshift bedside table (which is currently a Brother printer's old carcass/box), picked up the mouse and started a conversation. Eric had a funnier version of this on his camcorder, unfortunately (believe me you) he recorded it on TAPE and we don't have the technology to upload that on flickr. Enjoy!
