Of petals, dreams and loubs.
Hiding in the shell of the long-gone hermit crab, 2012 came along and I was still snuggling sweetly. Heck I even missed my usual birthday post.
It suddenly dawn on me that Spring is almost gone and of course I had to muster the strength to take a peek.
2012 brings in a fresh scent of gardenia whipped with orange.
I love the smell of excitement.
It’s all about floras says the Hedgehog. And no more winter cold.
Shedding the shell of 2011, come 2012, I strive to be a it more adventurous and walk out of my comfort zone. Be a little more health conscious (as a start I got myself a blender for making fruit slush!) and be a bit tad crazier and happier than I was in 2011.
But to get the tone right for 2012…
Indulge in guilty January fever.
I love sashimi. =)
My sweet high school friends bought me slices of cakes after they couldn’t find me a big cake. Such delight.
I love presents! Who doesn’t?
Cakes, cakes and more cakes! I don’t fancy green though. But I ain’t complaining. This is a unique cake indeed.
And of course the winners for making my January so extra special? The princesses.
Hooray for 2012!
Happy CNY
I know CNY is way over. But, it’s no secret that I’m bugged with work - my table is overflowing with paper!
So, here are snapshots of CNY.
Gong Xi Gong Xi!
Up North..
Would you believe me if I told you I had zero make-up on when I took this picture?
I had to. I don’t believe in sleeping with make-up on.
Oh I love the look of dawn. Very pretty.
And when it was bright and cheerful…
It’s time to celebrate!
I just realise, besides this photo, I didn’t take much during the day.
So let’s fast forward and enjoy the fireworks.
Huat ah!
Gwyneth turns 3!
My oldest niece turns 3 today.
The photo is totally ripped from my sister’s facebook for I forgot to snap any photos!
Happy Birthday Gwyneth!
It feels like yesterday when I visited her at the nursery.
3 years on, she is as cute as she can be.
Many many happy days to come little one!
Snowflakes at Christmas.
It’s Christmas!
A great big hello from the two girls.
And I finally laid my hands on the Christmas snowflake from…
Merry Christmas!
The lost tokens
You know, I secretly love my nieces to death.
Really, they are so adorable in their pretty little dresses and are so angelic looking when they are all smiley.
But sometimes, I do see a little devilish looking tail sticking out.
Occasionally.
I lost my tokens yesterday.
And I asked Gwyneth, “Hey, did you see my tokens?”
Gwyneth, “Er… no?”
Me: “Are you sure? Ka ka (our helper) said she saw you playing with it. Are you sure you didn’t take it?”
Gwyneth, “Er… mejapsldkgfyakfaoj”
Meet Gwyneth’s handbag. She puts all that she cherishes in it.
Hey, I spy something very familiar….
Kids… Don’t you love them so?
Graduation Part 2
Now as promised… Or… Would I say… I managed to find my camera in my messy room…
My fellow colleague, Hannah, or whom I affectionately call neighbour as we will be desk-mates for the next three years.
My parents took the time off to celebrate the day with me. Coincidentally, it is my mummy’s birthday today. So… happy birthday Mummy!
Check out Gwyneth’s cool pair of pink converse.
My sister and my two nieces supported me as well…
Thereafter, we headed to Melben for a celebratory dinner. I love their prawn balls! It was a happy day, but definitely a very long one… For…
Gwyneth fell asleep whilst taking dinner!
Happy weekend. =)
Graduated Again!
In between my posts of travelling Las Vegas…
Wearing: My favourite Chanel ring, pink Ferragamo heels which I purchased at 50% off!
I’ve graduated… Again! No prizes for guessing what I graduated in.
My family came down to support me. =)
Sure makes my day!
All three pictures were taken using my sister’s Iphone. I think my sister’s photo-taking skills has DRASTICALLY improved. Maybe it’s the miraculous Iphone. =P
More pictures on my personal camera - which I need to locate in my eternally messy room.
My neice - the adorable.
What a difference 5 days make. One day Gwyneth was sick and upset - she slaps everyone in her way!!! And the next…
She decides she has enough energy to put make-up!
Kids…
They make your day no matter what.
Don’t disturb me.
My poor niece placed on the drip and feeling extremely sickly.
But what do I spy? I spy Cheekes… Shhh don’t tell the nurse.
