I’m a domestic goddess

Okay, I didn’t lose my wallet — I found it in the office. Amazing how a few glasses of wine could bring out the drama queen in me.

The weekend was busy with setting up house. We received the microwave, rice cooker and a myriad of kitchen utensils from this Canadian girl, Jennifer, who is moving back to her home country. She obviously has quirky, colourful taste and she sold us so many cute items.

The kangaroo is really getting into the lime green and red theme. Our new lights are shiny red shades with lime green bulbs. Sounds loud but the green light bulbs are really warm, orange lights when you turn them on. We’ve set our eyes on these cool lime coloured curtains from Tokyo Hands too.

We sort of have a dirty laundry crisis — our second hand front loader is a complete dud. The kangaroo took out his toolkit, put on his headlight and rubber shoes to work on it last night but after two hours of tinkering, he declared it officially dead.

So, we’re getting a top loader but no dryer (still partially keeping to the environmental attitude) possibly from Muji this weekend.

In the meantime, we’re going back to the old apartment to get our laundry done. We still have it under the kangaroo’s name till this Sunday even though we’ve moved out — there was a bit of overlap but we’re not paying rent in March for the new digs which worked out just fine for us.

On another note, with a bigger kitchen, I’ve been cooking up a storm. Tonight’s dinner is going to be Szechuan tofu with minced meat, grilled chicken wings and steamed asparagus.
