{ Curry veggies plus dessert }

Today, I decided to prepare a dish from my recipe book for dinner. It turned out pretty okay considering that it's my first attempt, but I really have to remind myself to stick to the measurements. They are there for a reason.

Tikka masala curry potatoes with vegetables

And for dessert, I decided to try out the passionfruit tart I got from Coles. It was pretty delish, but the packaging was a tad sticky - and I can be quite fussy when it comes to being sticky.

Tomorrow, I shall try out some other recipes from my book. Creamed spinach and maple glazed carrots anyone? :)

{ Just the right blend of naughty and nice }

Dear Royce is turning into a real mini monkey. He tries so hard to get into the 'forbidden room' that it cracks me up sometimes. Occasionally he succeeds when I let my guard down, then a game of chase ensues. He may be sneaky and fast, but he sure isn't the brightest when it comes to dodging attacks. Lol. Royce will always end up being carried away on my shoulders to his scratching tree while he looks longingly at the forbidden room.

 fur, fur and more fur. the little furbomb.

Caelum on the other hand, is such an adorable little furbomb. He gets distracted with toys so easily that I could just walk in and out of the room without having to keep an eye on his sneaking around. He definitely stays true to the saying that cats have short attention span. Throw a toy in any direction and you're free to do your own stuff - a tried and true trick when I used the vacuum this afternoon.

Taking photos of cats again has inspired me to begin a mini project of my own. I call it Project Kitty Eyes which actually... sort of says it all. Sheesh, I do fail when it comes to being creative at times. It actually began when I fell in love with a pair of gorgeous golden Somali eyes at the weekend cat show. I then wondered how many different types of eye shape and colour do cats have and thus, begins my quest to capture every single one I could get my hands.. or in this case, my camera on. It's the first time I've started any project, so let's hope that it goes well.

Hopefully I can get some nice shots of other cat breeds at the Hahndorf cat show this Easter Sunday. It's going to be fun spending a day out at Hahndorf again. Oh just thinking of the food there makes my mouth water. And the chance to snap more shots, really, what else could be better than this? :)

{ Photographic opportunities }

Received an email from Sherrie last night letting me know that Caelum and his siblings' desexing operation went smoothly. He'll be ready to leave the nest on the 16th of April and really, time could not possibly crawl any slower than this. But I'm glad that the operation went well, I don't really fancy operations myself.

There's only one day left before Saturday. I've sent over the rest of my payment to Marina and now to just wait to see his little aqua-coloured carrier in the airport on Saturday. I hope I wouldn't squish him to death with all the cuddles I've been saving up for the little guy.

I can't wait to share with Royce all the beauty that Adelaide has to offer

Three months of waiting, finally almost over. Never would I have imagined I could have waited this long and patiently for someone that I have never officially met. I guess love at first sight does exist. :)

On a side note, my sister and I paid a visit to Hahndorf today and I had loads of fun taking photos. Had an awesome German feast that was insanely filling. Seriously I think the feast can feed an entire family. Luckily I brought along a little container to pack the leftovers into. We also had a lovely Tiramisu cake and drinks for tea at this gorgeous little cafe. It was a fun day to just hang out and act silly, especially since it's finally my mid-semester break. :)

I love Adelaide and it's quaint little towns and amazing food. And I especially love all the photographic opportunities around me - and with the arrival of my furry babies, I'm definitely going to enjoy the next two weeks of my Easter break. ♥

{ New toy & Caelum | week 9 }

Received my new toy that travelled all the way from Japan to Hong Kong, then making its final journey to Adelaide, South Australia. Introducing my newest addition to my little collection of lenses, the gorgeous Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro lens.

I couldn't resist trying out the new lens.

I'm so going to have fun seeing things from a different angle.

I've also received some updated photos of little Caelum, and from the pictures, it seems like his coat colour is changing. My little baby used to be black-brown, but from the recent pictures that I was shown, it seemed like he's turning into a little silvery tabby - just like his Ma, but with a little shades of brown like his Pa. Three weeks to go for this little one.

Now I'm curious to know what colour would little Caelum end up with, it's interesting that he's turning out to be a different shade from what I've expected. Not to mention, three weeks is a long time, you will never know what might happen in between. :)
