If you haven’t got a penny then a ha’penny will do

EEEEeeeeeek. My fingers are still a bit trembly from checking my results. Actually May May checked them for me and I asked her what they were. Okay lah. Not bad. haha.
Anyway we went carolling last night! It’s still Christmas btw…the Catholic church sees Christmas more as a season than a day. So, it starts [...]

Omg I saw the coooolest Grandma on the bus today! She had on these bronzy gold ballet flats, an emerald green sundress and a pearl studded cuff on her right wrist. Oh! She gives me hope that when I finally become a grandma too, I can still wear youthful things and be cool. Yay!

Rainy days plus Tim not being here make for a lot of time with nothing much to do. So, with typical industry, I have finished watching all the available episodes of Ugly Betty on Peekvid as well as 15 episodes (and counting) of Bleach, a japanese anime series. Yes, anime. Hahaha. Hmmm Ugly Betty is [...]

Mmm.

What is it about the scent of expensive leather that’s so enticing? Maybe it’s the animalistic odour, or the musk that just shines through…or maybe it’s the smell, combined with the sight of all that glorious dark sheeny leather, the glowing grain, its buttery soft suppleness. God I love leather. (I caved in the end [...]

Green Lilies

Tim hasn’t messaged me since he took off on a plane to Delhi…I’m getting quite worried. *sigh* Oh!! As soon as I typed that…he texted. Scary. Anyway, since the cat is finally out of the bag I can talk about what I gave him for Christmas…an oil painting of lilies, delphiniums and these little yellow [...]

Oh bring us some figgy pudding!!

In my blogosphere, people don’t seem to be so pleased with Christmas. So I thought I’d take some time off from the craziness that is this time of the year to inject a little Christmas spirit into cyberspace.
Merry Christmas everyone! Even if you don’t feel it’s particularly merry, remember the reason for its celebration- [...]

laaze

I finally finished Tim’s Christmas present this afternoon. I’m so relieved. It’s so harrowing to have presents unready so close to Christmas. Godma took us to lunch at Corduroy- totally yummy. I love the smoked salmon rosti and the warm chocolate pudding best…oozy melted goodness to chase away all Dementors! Bought stuff from Thomson Plaza [...]

I love the rain the most when it stops

This song by Joe Purdy is just too appropriate for the present weather that I just had to post it up. Thanks Ducks for sending it to me! The lyrics are beautiful.
I love the rain the most when it stops- Joe Purdy
Well, I love the rain the most when it stops
We can see the big [...]

Strange Bedfellows

Dirt & I. Standing in the nursery today, when the air shimmered with the promise of rain, and a gust of wind brought with it a shower of leaves and droplets. He’s repotting the little purple flowers now and I’m stooping over watching as he pours the woodshavings first and then the rich dark soil [...]

Now is the winter of our discontent?

Man…it seems like the only thing I blog about these days is shopping. But really, ’tis the season to be shopping so can I really help it? Truth is, I’m a little tired of the whole race to acquire. Yesterday was insane…i practically ran around Orchard Rd in stilettos…it was no joke…I felt like I [...]
