The Tree

It's Christmas soon! Hubby promised me a christmas tree last year but we didn't get it because we didn't have a place then. So I've been bugging him since last month to get a tree for this year.
Last weekend, we made plans with Anna and Dave to head over to Geylang to the warehouse christmas tree shop to choose for our tree. We didn't made it there. I wanted to go to Daiso to buy some stuffs for my mum and dad. Mummy came over to stay a few days last month and she fell in love with Daiso. Of the 4 days she was here, we were in Daiso for 2 of them, once in Jurong and once in Plaza Sin.... more on that later..

So we headed to IMM for lunch and Daiso. While walking around, we came across this florist, Steve Florists, and they have the most beautiful christmas tree!! Hubby just couldn't tear his eyes off the trees! Now, these trees are not like the normal ones, they have longer bristles, and the end of the bristles are covered in shiny white glitters.. really reminds you of snow. And get this, the tree comes with pine cones all over it.. how cool is that. It's not the normal plastic christmas trees alright... A quick look in Giant, for the same height, a much more common looking christmas tree doesn't come much cheaper than the nice ones in Steve's. So, me and hubby decided to take the plunge! We got ourselves a six feet tall tree... a tree taller than me! Nice huh..

We spend the rest of Sunday evening decorating the tree... At the end of it, all 4 of us were sweating and covered in glitters, but delighted! Our very first 6 feet tall Christmas tree!!

Blue is our theme this year. To honor Aaron's favourite team... heh..

I was talking about Daiso earlier. I got this really great deal from the store. Ever heard of GelGems? They're this rubber-plastic decorations that you can stick on tiles, mirrors, glass and can be re-use. Check out this site http://www.gelgems.com/

Anyway, I got hold of these in Daiso, a japanese version, and stick them on our bathroom glass door.

There's a lot of blues in the house lately... heh.. Well, these gelgems are really good. Nice to look at, you can stick them anyway you want... and the best thing is, they'll never drop!! Simply great!!

I've bought some tinsels and more decorations yesterday, will update soon.. Ciao!

P/S: Happy Thanksgiving!!
