hubbi is back from south africa! :)
happy that he's finally back for south africa aint exactly the safest place on earth. :P
and he bought home a painted ostrich egg for our house!
see, i think its a beauty! and we improvised by using the apple tea cup we bought from turkey to double as its stand. lolz.


now its standing proudly on our tv console. :)

and i worked OT for the first time (i think so...) for this year! and it has to be on a friday night! *pui*i stayed till nearly 9pm! but hubbi was very sweet to buy dinner & came to my office to give me that. so the last half hour of my "OT" was actually spent eating dinner & chatting with him at my cubicle. *hee*

but whatever, the weekend is here again! *wee*
as usual, evil hubbi made me cook lunch for him today. but i did lah, given he's away for so long & he "requested" for it.
now im hot and bothered from cooking and ironing. i wanna go bathe and hit the town sooN!
yes! before the weekend ended too soon agaiN!

发现再发现

这个礼拜过得有点失落,有点孤单.
只因老公不在.
很奇怪的感觉,明明周围尽是人与事.

发现,原来最想念的竟是他的手.
老公与我的手如果在熟睡翻身时碰着,会不自觉的握在一起.
平时没多大感觉.
但这几晚在大大的双人床上,竟然怀念起来了.
尤其是现在的我,半夜总因翻身而迷迷糊糊睡醒.
蒙拢间突记得他不在的感觉总有点错谔.
还好,很快我又可以再握他的手了.

还有,昨夜发现宝宝也会安慰我.
半夜失眠真有够难受.
但在老公的一通电话与宝宝的一番"跳舞"后,
突然觉的失落感减少,睡意增加.
终于在凌晨四点回到梦乡.

rolling on & THE orange bag

time flies! i cant believe im rolling on to the 2nd half of 2007!
yay! before i know it, end of the year will come and i'll be ready to embrace a new phase in my life (hopefully! :P)!

to celebrate (for no reason at all), i decided to get myself the bag that i've been ogling like... one day (?!)! lolz.
tada! gorgeous huh!? at least to me. hubbi is totally not buying my "orange-is-my-fav-color" reasoning for the purchase.
whatever. im a happy girl. at least for the weekend.
*roar* the materialistic me is still alive and kicking! heez.

shopping (what's new), food craving, transformers & an orange bag

shopping (what's new?)
time passes faster during weekend, i swear. it was only like just now when i bounced out of my building at 530 to meet hubbi at raffles city for a relaxing friday when its mid sunday now already! *jeez*
weekends are getting better nowadays and thats what make it all the more irritatitng when they have to end. :(

so on friday, we had dinner at our fav food outlet, soup spoon! Yummy! after which we strolled around for some window shopping. in the end, hubbi bought more stuff than me! what a surprise huh! he got himself a new wireless mouse & i got him a nice set of cuff links finally!

look! i chose the design for him. isnt it nice!? its mother of pearl flanked by onyx. easy to match with his unbelivable boring range of white/blue based shirts bah.


food craving (potato mentai!)
was having a bad craving for waraku yakiniku don & its potato mentai ever since fri! so on saturday, i made hubbi agree for dinner at the branch at starhub building before our movie, transformers, at shaw. :)) (yesh, thats a double chin for me. im becoming ridiculously fat. and im shocked with my own nonchalence about this whole thing)

oh, and i've a haircut last saturday if i didnt get to mention this in my previous posts. this is me in my new haircut! really cooling for the bizarre hot weather nowadays!


waraku's yakiniku don is as delicious as ever! though hubbi was slighly turned off by the over cheesy-high carbs-buttery potato mentai. lol. but its pure heaven for me! cheese + gan dan! what can beat that!

bb with his curry noodles & yummy potato mentai!

transformers - surprisingly good!
i ve my reservations for the show initially but it sure is easily the best film for 2007 so far! kept us at the edge of our seats for the whole show & peppered with enough humour & wit to make us laugh as well. the yound male lead, Shia LaBeouf, was surprisingly a natural at acting considering his young age of 21 (born in 1986, gag). looking forward to seeing more of him in his future films, disturbia & Indiana Jones 4.

but being a critical person, cant help pointing out some parts of the show which i think can be improved.
- how come they didnt show more of decepticons' logo? its sooo cool. since young, i always feel that its much nicer than the autobots one. hiaks.
- optimus prime's voice. somehow the voice is just a normal nice robotic voice. lack the leader quality leh. unlike megatron's voice which really instilled a sense of fear and awe in you when it speaks.

an orange bag - CD
happened to chance upon a nice leather bag at isetan scotts that is going at a rather attractive sales price. im really tempted to get my hands on it! but there is really no reason for such a buy recently.
hubbi, ever the rational one, asked me to think about it & as usual try to dissuade me from it when back home. but i cant stop thinking about it.
hmm, shall go down to town later after lunchie at mum's place to REALLY consider again.

hubbi outta town

the husband is leaving town for work again!
this time, all the wayyyyyy to SOUTH AFRICA - johannesburg !!
and for 5 nights at one go!

mom will only be staying over for 2 nights only, so what am i supposed to do for the remaining 3 nights? *sobz*
and i cant really go paint the town red in his absence nowadays.
so not-fun. *sigh*
okie, think think think i must. *scratching chin*

when will june ever end!?

i've enough of June - unexciting month!
good thing its finally coming to an end this friday. *wee*

finally onto harry potter's book 6 - half-blood prince. the story is getting darker and darker & harry potter more and more irritating. lolz.
still, i am hooked to the plot's developments! will definitely feel empty once i finish it.
will be awhile before i can purchase the soft cover version of the last book which will be out next month.

meantime, im crawling into the peak period of my company! its forecast weeks for last & this week. so far, still manageable with me not staying back late.
but i sure did work hard during the office hours!
then it'll be the budget period for the next 2 weeks which i will foresee myself staying late perhaps 1-2 days per week.
*groan* come to think of it, july sucks too.
nomind, at least i got the letter to look forward to.

okie, back to work work work for me!
and will 7pm quick come! so hubbi can fetch me from work!!!

shopping therapy, worrywart & small talk is really unnecessary

shopping shopping
the husband and i decided (or rather I) to do some shopping on an otherwise normal & mundane wednesday. so he came fetched me from work at 7pm sharp & both of us dead beat from work but restless me refused to just have a "simple" dinner and then home to rot in front of the tube.
scheming mind working ahead, i got the husband to bring me to try ..... botak jones! it so happens that the nearest branch is actually right at depot's lane - a stone throw from my working place. so we whizzed there for a quick spot of yummy western food. pricey, but the food is really good! i had fish burger while hubbi had the botak chez set.

after which, we decided to go scotts isetan to see if we can get some decent shoes. hubbi has been eyeing this pair of geox shoes for the longest time. and so he got them, finally. and me? i was desperately in need of some sturdy comfy shoes so i settled for a pair of clarks. but it threatens to give me blisters for the past 2 days that ive been wearing it. :( hope my reddened skin will eventually get used to it! bleah.

and today, hubbi has finally dragged me to Oxford to get his shirt tailored. been ages since i got my bonus, and he's finally getting his reward from me. hiaks. shirt to be collected in 10 days time. now, when will we ever get a nice pair of cuff links for him?

worrywart
im a worrywart. no doubt about it. good times seem like a luxury to me and my mind wanders off to the negative whenever i deem everything to be too peaceful to be true.
i really should stop doing this! so detrimental to my mental health. bah! i must have faith!

small talk - do we really need this?
once upon a time, i prided myself to manage small talk with almost anyone. sorta like a testiment to my high EQ. or so i thought.
nowadays, small banter with people i dont regard as friends seem really meaningless.
so much so, that i've to muster all my strength to just NOT roll my eyes. sigh. im getting grouchy, impatient & unlikeable with age.
but really, small talk is unnecessary. trust me.

random random

been feeling lazy to blog recently. not that my life has anything exciting to blog about anyway. anyway, waking up bright & early on a saturday morning calls out for some celebration, no?
so here i am, perched on my study room chair, munching on some combos (which happens to be one of my fav. snacks other than jack n jill salsa chill chips!) and decided to shoot my mouth off for a(long)while in my blog.

In no order of importance, of cos
1) friends of ba bee boo (me lah! who else?)
as mentioned earlier, one of my friends is flying off to HK to start a new career soon. the reality hasnt quite sink in but i know we will miss her sorely. *sobbie*
*yong, must keep in close contact & come back often!* of cos, we can always fly over given that we are only 3 1/2 hrs apart. take care of yourself, not like that silly nelly who made us worry for her. still, glad that we managed to meet up recently at your house for some yummy prata supper & delicious dinner @ MOF @ marina sq on monday! been ages since i last saw GS & gerry too!

talking about silly nelly (has a certain rhyme to it hor?), really hope she'll take good care of herself & have a satisfying n fulfilling period in NYC in time to come. *nelly, you are soooo far away so must take care of yourself, hor!?*

met up with fi & yan for a short while on thursday evening. realised i miss them loads! been 2 mths since i last saw them? gosh, sometimes i miss those days back at hall. youth is a painful thing. no matter how much you enjoy it, you know its not ever gonna come back again. pui!
luckily we still have adulthood & *ahem* old age. we can keep the people, just not the time. pui (!) again.

then its ah d & ser for dinner & chit-a-chatty on thursday night too. its the same old thing whenever we meet up... *yawn* which is ..... LAUGHTER & GOOD TIME! lolz. poor ah d wont be in sg for the next few weekends till mid july. so it'll be sometimes before i can see him bah?

oh, met up with suling yest too after a long span of 3(?) months? glad that she still seems fine & she sure has some concrete plans for herself for next year. hope you can carry them out well, babe! she may thought she's the last to know about my news, but she's really not the last. hiaks.

the problem with me nowadays is i tend to live like a hermit for sometimes before i launch a whirlwind of social activities. for the past week, been meeting up people like nobody's business. and im gonna play MJ at grace's house later today with zm & ser. *yippee* not to mention the dinner outing with stella & the girls tomorrow! *weee**

friends, what can we do with/without them?

2) hubbi (sulky one)
given the above spate of flurry activities without him, its no wonder the husband aint too glad with me this week. to make it up & giving in to his whiny request that its been eons since i last cooked (like 4-5mths ago? tee hee), i cooked dinner again this tuesday for us!

appetitzing anot? the husband seems to think so. *smile*

its just jap curry with potatoes/carrot/ & pork bits. of cos the curry not whipped up by me. i just bought it off-the-shelf & warmed it up. lolz.

3) my other passions in life - books & movies!
getting crazy over the potter madness only JUST recently. saw a 3-for-2 deals at borders last week & decided on the spot to grab the 6 harry potter books at one go. have demolished the 1st 2 books over the week - philosopher's stone & chambers of secrets are good! kinda forget the details since the movies were like few years back! now onto the 3rd & if i didnt remember wrongly, my least fav of all the movies - prisoner of azkaban. the movie was confusing & i dun get some of the parts. hopefully, the book will clear up the doubts.

watched fantastic 4 with hubbi on thursday when we took a day off to get some admin done. it should be called normal 4 as ah d suggested. not that its bad, just that its wellll.....normal. nothing too exciting. but i must say the silver surfer is really cool. but too little character development is always a distinct feature of fantastic 4 series.. so thats that.

4) pay increment & revision
really looking forward to july month for my pay increment and yes, pay revisioN! think my coy has finally understand we are grossly underpaid n decided to throw in a pay revision on top of the normal yearly pay increment this time round. *yay*

evil hubbi has mentioned that im the 老鼠屎of the household since i've room to grow before i hit the CPF ceiling. he has reached that and there s really nothing much he can do to shorten the houseing loan of our flat. hence, from his viewpoint, i should up my contribution to do my part in shortening the loan. bleah!

*crossing finger* let's hope that will happen soon and we can go revise our contributions when we made our yearly paydown next year! :)

okie, got to dash n bathe. if not, i ll be late for mum's lunchie back at ubi. tata!

lalala

Jazzy
we've our jazzy for almost coming to 3 weeks! having a car is really very convenient though i must said that the cost of maintaining one is not exactly cheap. i still maintain that taking a cab everyday is still cheaper than owing your own set of wheels.

anyway, i digress. the advantages of having jazzy are:
-hubbi has been diligently fetching me off work for the past few weeks. :) wonder how long he can keep this up. hee.
-we can whizz around to new places for dinner
-travelling to & fro our parents' places is now a breeze during weekend
-having an OPC means parking is relatively cheaper & no heavy traffic for we use the car in the evenings during weekdays & weekends
-i've fun fiddling with the air-con, radio, cd-set etc. lolz, the life of a passenger (aka no licence lah!)

of cos, there's always the pitfalls:
-having an OPC means i've to wait till 710 before hubbi pick me up from work. he can only start the car at 7pm sharp during weekdays. trying to get accustomed to this since staying a minute pass my official off-time kills me
-the hefty installment of $1k+ for the next 2 years, and the petrol, parking etc
-washing the car. so far we (or rather ah long himself) washed it once and it seems tiring. bleh

tada, presenting our jazzy! pardon the bad lighting.


I love mac breakfast!
hubbi brought me to the mac branch near farrer park on vesak day. that place look nice with a pond to boot!
my appetite getting heartier by the day, to think i can wolf down a sausage macmuffin with egg meal & still feel not full! lolz.


hubbi with my happy meal toy. a dragon from shrek 3 apparantly. yes, my meal can't satisfied me so i ordered another 2 pc hotcakes happy meal in the end. gross huh?


good news
my mum won 1st prize in 4D! not a lot but a modest amount to keep her smiling till the wee hours of the night. heh.
the winning nos are the last 4 digit of her new home phone number. and she gave hubbi & me big fat ang baos yesterday. *wee*
mine is decidedly bigger than his. hiaks. bo bian, my mum plays favouritism since dun-know-when.
and she's treating a feast this saturday. *yummy*

lastly, a pic of hubbi & me recently. in case you guys forget how i look like.
and yes, i know my face is rounder now & my nose is fleshy and all.
stop the comments!! bleh.

终于雨过天晴了.
终于能松口气了.
终于可以放心了.

we should really count our blessings. really.
the last one week+ was fraught with worries & depression for me.
in any case, im just glad that everything is fine now.
though still have some on-going problems now, im still glad what life has to offer me. :)

p/s: dont ask me what's wrong. i will say when im ready.

our jazzy is finally here!
hubbi went to collect it alone last saturday as i was home alone, sick. bah!
nevertheless, jazzy is yellow & cute!
and surprisingly roomy too!

so far, it has served its purpose real well as a weekend car. lolz.
we have been zapping it all around the weekend & in the evening after work.
the installments have yet to be deducted from our credit card so we are still in denial. heh.

anyway, its finally back to work for me after a week + long hiatus! been a long tortuous break as i was really sick most of the time.
the good thing is its thursday already & i just need to survive one more day before the weekend is here again! *wee*

oh, just got wind that yet another of my friend is leaving to work in a foreign country. *sob*
i will miss her sooo much!

okie, got to go back to my work! :P

病仔

喵，我是大病猫。
好久没有这样大病一场了。
好沮丧，好颓废。
感冒，咳嗽，发烧，气喘样样有。
将会躲在家里好好养病。
等好了再来布落格吧。。。。。

终于，老公还是背着包包去公干了。
虽然只是短短的三天两夜，但还真不习惯。
毕竟在过去的七个月，回家看到的总是他。
因为身体依然不适，加上情绪有着少许的失落，今天决定请假窝在家里哪儿都不去。
不知是不舍还是心疼我的不适，老公对还在赖床的我说：“我们去买pirates of the Caribbean 的mega blocks给你玩。”
依然不烂漫，依然用着自己的方式来对待我。
可我还是感动了。

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

昨夜做了一个很甜很美的梦。
许久没这样的一个梦了。
梦里的我心系一位男生 ，直觉上他也似乎对我有好感。
呵，好少年的情操呀。
梦很模糊。
只记得在后来我们的情感都明朗化。
而男生的瞳孔满满的都是我。
那感觉在我心中，久久不能挥去。
当一个人的眼眶里就只有你一个，很甜。

现实能够如此吗？
我想很难吧。
每天生活上的繁絮需要打理，哪来的情绪让你眼中就只有那个人啊？
虽然事实是如此，还是有时有些遐想。嘻。

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

peanut baby
you know you are in my fav. peanut baby's good books when he made his dad call you to tell you this after parting your ways: "婶婶, later come my house okie?"

and he's only 2! soo cute! sprouting in sentences!

jazzy
and our jazzy is finally ready to be picked up by us next friday. after 2 months of waiting, its finally here.
not that it concerns me much, with me having no licence. but hubbi is decidedly excited and he busied himself poring over the street directory learning road routes and all.
this has to be his biggest toy to date in life i guess.

but after paying down deposit balance of $3k+ & upfront road tax/insurance of $1.6k+, im starting to worry abit about financing the car.
maybe spreading the 30+k loan over 2 years is not too wise a choice, huh?
financing the loan means our common savings wont be growing at all for the next 24 months. not sure if this is good for this period where we need the extra cash. hmm... and there is this possibility where we may convert the OPC to a normal car plate & that will cost us an extra $17k. *shivers*
well, will see how it goes.

wardrobe revamp
im looking forward to adding new pieces to my wardrobe! my current one just cant support my lifestyle now.
though revamping doesnt come cheap, but comfort is more impt!
so im gonna shop shop shop this weekend. *weee*

hubbi --> malacca 3D2N
hubbi will be going away on a business trip to malacca from wed to fri morn. *sobbie* this will be my 2nd night home alone.
mum will be coming over on wed night to accom me but i've to be brave brave and brave to brave thursday night alone. *boohoo*

hubbi is not very patience with me losing sleep over this home alone stuff. but im didnt sleep alone till i was 9 year old & i slept with dim yellow light till im in my teens!
darkness disturbs me. bleah. hope fri will come soon when he's back!

终于还是病倒了，还是重感冒。
在这非常时分，来的真不是时候。
让我担忧。
身子快快好起来吧!

apr is sweet!

*weeeeeee* my bonus has finally come in & apr ended on a beautiful note with me sharing some major good news with my closest friends. :)

Bonus with a capital B
finally a year of toiling or so in a less than desired workplace paid off (kinda....)! my bonus (pro-rated & all) was credited to my bank account last wed & i had busied myself paying bills, transferring to my savings a/c, giving out ang-baos to my family etc.
and before i know it, my transaction bank a/c balance which i last checked is a miserable balance for the whole month of may. *meg hair*
back to square one. bleh.

im finally proud to say my savings is at a healthy level. :) not alot per se but its been awhile since our wedding last year that i see any decent form of savings on my side. heez.

been fun playing santa. esp. giving out ang baos to my mum. crazy mum kissed the ang bao i gave her when im at her house last saturday. lolz.
been trying to get the husband some stuff too. have asked him what he wants & the feedback is a tailored shirt & a pair of cuff-links. hopefully, will get him those soon before i spend the budget on myself. hehe.

a visit, birthday dinner & good news
saturday was a long n tiring day for me. was up bright & early by 9am and we made our way to tiong bahru mac for some delicious breakfast! *yummy*

hubbi & me!

learnt some good news thereafter & made our way to my mum for lunchie. & then its *wheezeeee* on #5 to orchard road in a jiffy via PIE/CTE!

done some window shopping before meeting up with hubbi's family for a light dinner at a jap restaurant at taka. the agedashi tofu is one of the best i ever tried! :) and my fav. peanut butter baby likes me alot that day. *happie*
he kept on wanting me to play with him. :))

then its off to city hall to meet the gang for the birthday dinner for ah D & ser. trotted to timbre for dinner & the food was really nice and affordable! esp, the pizza! absolutely tasty!! but to dine in sweltering heat & dubious flying insects around us aint exactly appealing. so we made our quick exit back to raffles city for drinks & desserts @ gloria jean at the basement.

we had great fun & laughter again. n took a nice grp pix, thanks to the timer function of tanny's digi cam. hee. will upload once she email us the pic!

bits n pieces

weekend is over far too fast! but im happy for april is almost coming to an end! *yippee* welcome, may the month of many many holidays. *wee*!
and i've a good weekend i guess. :)

friday was nothing eventful. hubbi & i made our way to the soup spoon outlet at raffles place for a quick spot of dinner. after that, we made a beeline for home as i was feeling pretty tired out again. the good thing that came out of the evening was linda deciding to pop by our house to for a quick catch-up!
its been eons since i last saw her & i showed her all my wedding/honeymoon photos at one go! hehe. but its really nice just gabbling rubbish with her! :)

and finally the long awaited musical "phantom of the opera" arrived on sat!! i woke up bright & chirpy to prepare myself for lunchie at mum's place before meeting zm for the musical at 1+.

moi all ready to go! the husband giving me the evil eye for abandoning him to finish up housework at home by himself.

the phantom' set is really fantastic and worth every dollar of the expensive ticket. but i must admit having wakey up at 7+ in the morning took the toll on me. i found myself dozing off at certain parts where christine kept on singing and singing about nothing in particular. heez.
but im not the only one. zm & ser had the same problems. lolz.

sun was lazy n a good day of rest for me. we left for hubbi's parents home for good o'home-cooked lunch. played with my cute nephews!

they cant stop jumping on the mattress. so cute!

after which we left for grocery shopping at tiong bahru before heading home. we finally managed to catch "the godfather II" DVD that hubbi got for me last time.
it was good but abit slow for him i guess. it has 2 of my fav. actors from last time - robert de niro & al pacino! wayyy cool!
esp. de niro. he's good. just like the real stuff. a don! a don! call me don vito! lolz. they made mafia look good again!

i feel like catching godfather I! curious to see if marlon brandon was really good as don vito! for de niro portrayed a really convincing young vito!

and i've been playing well with my paint set! *tada* another cute lion with pink mane & cheery sun are my latest creations. heh.



anyway the husband made some really tiny windfall from his shares yesterday & since we were out at raffles city, strolling aimlessly, i managed to bring us to the toys department again to grab something! heez.

in the end, managed to convince him to get me a set of TABOO! & a mega block spider-man 3 set! haa, he's always interested in spidey but without me pushing, he will never get such a set.
thinking that it will be great fun constructing it together & it really made a nice display set, i persuaded him to grab it since there's 20% disc too.

and we've fun playing taboo for sometime yesterday night before he got tired of such intellectual game & we moved on to the spidey set!
it took us nearly 1 1/2 hours to get it all set up but its really worth the effort!

see the end result is sooo nice. its the final battle scene for spider man 3 where we've sandman, green goblin, venom & spidey all together. some of the parts are really fun like the crane can swing around, a button to control the length of the white string that spidey is holding on, some planes can be pushed to scattered make-believed sand all over the place & a spidey web that will catch the baddies. FUN!

im glad we got this. & i've my eyes set on another set from the pirates of the carribean set! hopefully, hubbi will get dividends from some of his portfolio soon. hiaks!

on the road to recovery

with some persistance & research, my skin problems are on their way to recovery!

hive-like rashes on tummy-dum-dum
COCOA-BUTTER OIL is DA answer! *tada*
bought a bottle from good'o pharmacy & slapped on to affected areas diligently twice a day after bathing. my right itches no more & my worse left side is under control.
no more itchiness! just some ugly darkened marks left.
whatever, this will fade with time and im sure it'll be a long time before i appear in bikinis.
lolz. okie one down, one more to go!

sore-reddened lips
still fighting the war. but VASELINE is the wayyyy to go. kept it well-moisturised like 24-hours a day. even my assistant commented on how "oily" my lips is. heh.
the redness have all but disappeared. now left only left the side of my lips still sensitive & abit reddish. but as the husband commented & affirmed by my assistant, its much better than last week.

okie, im think im happy once more.
now left only with catching up with my deprived sleep tonight. *yawn*

joy of being a kid for a day or two

i've a lovely saturday! hubbi & i went to mum's place for some really nice home-cooked food for lunchie. i miss my mum's deep fried pork chop (dipped in soda-biscuit crusts)! *yummy*
after which we discovered a new bus # at my mum's place - - - # 5 which got us to town in less than 20 mins time via highway.

dinner was at one of those small eateries next to cold storage at taka basement. we settled for a jap outlet since i've craving for katsu curry & it seems to specialise in just that!


bb looking pleased with his choice! - pork tenderloin curry set

mine is pork tenderloins with ebi prawns! the curry is nice & a set is quite reasonably priced between $11-$14 with no additional charges.
anyway, look how round is my face. i've really pile on the pounds! even my mum commented on my thunder thighs. damN!

after dinner, hubbi & i had fun browsing the toys section! i love getting lost in this department, feel like a kid again! and i cant bring myself to get Taboo for the nth time. anyone wanna buy for me??? lolz.

and in the end, with the husband's encouragement, i bought home this!
-a glass paint set!


This is how it works:
Step 1: choose a design that comes with it. put a clear sheet over it.
Step 2: Using the black glass paint, trace the outline & give it approx. 30 mins to partially dry.

Step 3: Let your creativity flows with the 10 paint colors that come with it! fill in the design with colors of your choice!

*tada* a cute giraffe is borne! Now you need to wait 12 hours for it to dry completely before you can peel it off the clear sheet to stick onto any glass surface.
fun, yay?

while waiting, i selected another design and started working on it! rudolph & santa claus!!

okie, i admit. bad choice of color here but given the limited paint colors, i've a green reindeer & chinese santa claus in the end. haha.

and after a day, i finally get to peel off giraffe & stick it on our notice board in the kitchen!
soooo cute! n soo fun!

okie, its been really fun being a kid for these 2 days. i cant wait to start on another design with hubbi! :))

skin skin woes

i am very upset with my skin condition. :(
the breakout on my face is old story. im not too much bothered by it now. its kinda under control, AFTER i stopped using the prescibed medicine. how stupid.

but now i've hive like rashes flaring up ard my tummy area! *madness*
this has happened before when im in cold environment, like our honeymoon trip in greece/turkey when the temperature dipped below 3 degree celcius.
i recovered when im back in sg. but now its back! whats up with my skin or the air-con in my office? is it too dry/cold.
bleh. its very itchy & sometimes i cant sleep at night! what a bother.
with a good moisturising cream, i hope this problem will go away soon!

AND, my sore lips is acting up again. i've dry lips all along & with bad environment (read: cold/dry), it will get swollen n puffy n red. n now it IS like that. my lips is surrounded by this ridiculous circle of redness. they look like an ugly version of nelly's hahaha!

sianz! hope my skin problems will heal soon! but my cruise trip in may may trigger them again. bother bother bother!
life can be smelly-smelling at times. bah!
