650 TC Lullaby

Category: Random

I confess to be having quite the obsession with soft, silky, smooth bed sheets. This obsession began since I started earning my own pay-check. I still remember the exitement of being able to finally choose and actually afford to buy my own bed and linen. That probably also explained the reason why it was so hard for me in those days to get out of bed before 5pm on my weekends…I simply love my bed and I’m absolutely in love with my fluffy, comfy bed sheets and pillows.

However, until we got married last year, Silver Bullet never quite understood why I have to spend, according to him “insane” amount of time and money looking for “just a bed sheet” you use only when you are unconscious. Well…that was then. Now, he is no doubt a full-fledged convert of minimum 450 thread-count bed linen as he made his own discovery into the realm of sensational plop in bed with silky, soft and smooth sheets. Until recently, that is.

That’s because, we accidentally discovered Pasaya at 50% off retail prices that comes at a whopping 650 thread count. The 42% cotton and 58% micro fiber combo material does offer a very silky, cool, comfortable feel I can’t even begin to describe. What surprised me most is that it’s a Thai brand and of really, really exceptional quality at really reasonable prices. Still a bit pricey if there’s no discount, but this being Thailand, they’d offer anything from 20%-50% on bed sheets at almost any time of the year! For the quality that Pasaya has, it’s worth every damn penny! We both love the quality of this brand so much that we bought a second (still on 50% discount!), which will be used for at least another 3-4 years.

I have found my perfect brand of bed sheets and it will be very hard to convince me to look at other brands. Although… I have to admit that the 1000 thread-count of Egyptian cotton sheet is still high on my list. Only, those things are so exorbitantly expensive that I think I need to start to grow a real money tree to be able to afford and justify my purchase for that.

Till then, I’m utterly pleased with our new found love.Even the eldest resident furball approved!

So no fair.

Torture for me is …
….watching Anthony Bourdain and Bobby Chin on Discovery Channel – Travel & Living, with each host covering a full hour of Singapore’s glorious food scene back-to-back with Mr Seetoh of Makansutra, and all I could do was stay glued to the tele, wide-eyed and drooling away like an idiot.

Oh those sizzling pratas, mee goreng, sambal stingrays, chilli crab, carrot cakes, teh tariks and what nots are all just too much to bear. What a torture to be tantalized by something I cannot get around the corner when I want them. It is also quite sad to come to a realization that I don’t have a bleeding clue of where most of the eating places those guys went to in Singapore. I’m ashamed!

Fudge’s backside on any other normal days:

Fudge’s bristled back-side on a rare occasion:
Fudge was actively engaging in a play fight with Donut when I saw her puffed up tail for the very first time. It seems that the puffing up or bristled tail indicates that she was probably afraid at that time, surprised or simply trying to avoid a confrontation with the dominant cat. She is so playful that it’s almost impossible not to laugh when we see her “worried” face. Clearly, Ah-Nut manages to show her yet again who’s the boss!

The similarity of the second picture to this one here is almost uncanny, isn’t it!
