The addictions...

Addiction I

This is what I consider our wedding anniversary present….the
Lampe Berger.

If not for my beloved Nazrah, I wouldn’t even know what it was. Sure, sounds french to me. So we bought a full set from eBay to find out if it is as amazing as how my twin had explained.

Here's my verdict after trying it out….WE LOVE IT! Something about how this deodorizer evaporates and permeates the air, it sure removes the pet and cooking odors. My cats, they find it so therapeutic, my kitten would sit on my bed and 'pass out' when the Lampe is burning! And when I move the Lampe to another room, she would quickly get up and be active again.

The half liter bottle of fragrant oil is almost gone, cos we have been burning it a lot yesterday (kemaruk lah katakan). And we're going to get the bigger bottle soon.

If you are not familiar with Lampe Berger, take a look at the website.

Addiction II

Yes I am having my PMS. The Low Carb Reese's Peanut Butter Cup was soooooooooooo good!!!!!!! Of course, the husband is in Phase one of the diet and did not want to hear me raving about the delicious choc.

Besides craving for them chocs, I have been having a 'taste' for heavy metal. I do love heavy metal but seldom listen to them at work. But not past few days and today, I have the Metal station turned on, turned up and ooooh, I feel the electric guitar consoling my temperamental moods. Ozzy, Metallica, ACDC, Overkill, Pearl Jam…and all the metals groups, they're my heros at this time!!! Rock Rock Rock Rock!!!!

I surpised some of my co workers when they came to use my computer or passed my work station…didn’t know that I am a metal fan…and they showed me the 3 finger metal symbol hahaha. Right on!

My 'high heeled' protected feet wouldn’t stop moving when I listen to the beat. Someone who walks into the office might think that I am having a spasm or something. Watch out…Ely might just start head-banging soon if the songs start getting better!

*While typing this*

Oh oh, I see the Assistant Manager pushing the cart around, with food in it. Yes, we're having Medical Insurance meetings in 4 sessions and she's serving gummy bears and candies…oh and she added some nuts and pistachios for me hehehe. Must love that little lady.

congratulations on the Lampe Berger! It's quite popular here although I myself belum lagi beli satu!

Kesian David, how is he coping?? Bring out those pom-poms and short skirt ELy!! Itu kena cheer betul-betul tu!

Blabarella said...

Are you preggers or something? With the sudden infatuation with heavy metal and all? Or is it one of the withdrawal symptoms of the diet? I look up you people who have the mettle to diet!! Me, cannot lah!! Love my food too much!!

I too, am completely clueless about this Lampe Berger thing. Anedra, where to find? Mahal ah?

Oh yea, I've seen that Lampe Berger around, though over here, it's marketed by another company... cannot recall the name. But that's what I know lah. Pretty expensive. Some tagged at $500!! But it looks pretty and the fragrance is really nice! :)

Ely said...

dena, lampe berger is not popular here. but we all love it esp my kitten hahaha. davids doing fine. he was grumpy at first but he is still alive hehehe.

blabs, noppers, not preggy...how i wish. but that baking muffin project has to wait until the husband goes thru the surgery and recovers baru boleh ckp pasal project kanak budu!

hartini, i know i heard it costs hundreds over there. its pretty cheap here. we got ours for about US$60 here.

I have another version (bel-air) of that berger thingy. But the lampe berger looks more elegant. Green Tea is so far, my favourite scent.

Ely said...

nour, yer ker? ok i'll go find out abt it!

Blabarella said...

What ops? What ops? Me losted.

Ely said...

hes going thru a shoulder surgery in 4-7 weeks. and u know he needs 8 weeks to recperate. he has inflammed tissue in his left shoulder.

Honeytar said...

Ely: The aromatheraphy will help yr hubby recuperate! Choose the right scent. I cant remember which one for Lampe Berger.

Bel Air (BA) and Lampe Berger (LB) are more or less the same thing. They were initiated by two brothers. Actually these two brothers started LB, later some disputes led one brother to 'run away' and started on another brand called BA but actually carrying the same formula as LB.

Different scent serves different purpose. I'm using BA and my favourite scent is Eucalyptus!
