Unwrapped..gifts i love!

My Xmas gift to myself! One has gotta travel in style.
Love that patent red.

My bedside companion.. a sweet lil ballerina twirling to the tune"U are my sunshine" :) such a sweet tinkling melody. I figured it looks kinda lonely so that explains Mr. blue florals..

From the babe who insists to wrap despite the very crammy pasta mania table amidst our food.. :p

An uber cute coaster! Jus what i need for my mug in office!

The statement on coaster? AGREED.

I must have been an awesome BFF huh if not why i got both the coaster & Paris Hilton pouch. :p Your handwritten cards always so full of words n heart..Still have the one on my 18th birthday onwards.

A very pleasant surprise. Purple rain tulips:)

I sprinkled water to keep them fresh and the droplets shimmer like lil diamonds on the petals. So pretty.

I wanna go sit down with pen and paper in hand for some resolutions in 2009. On hindsight, certain events are pretty much blessings in disguise.

Its a popular saying that when u fail to plan, u plan to fail. But again, some wisdom & a little flexibility for minor hiccups? Still very much needed.:)

Later.

Who knew packing stuff can be such tedious work. Just one wardrobe-ful of clothes & what-nots is enough to give me a minor headache.

Should I bother with categorising I wonder?

Maybe its the weather. I jus feel like lying in bed, curled up with elmo & a good book. Since I dug up old pics, shall do a nostalgic entry. Some pics made me laugh out loud.

At times I marvel at how everyone around me had blossomed.:)

ok here goes:


My one & only lil sis. Who is gonna be mummy to my nephew very soon.


I dressed her up this way; she came up with the poses for the camera everytime:p

She has this pixie face with an impish smile & boundless energy. High-pitched voice & complain to our maid i bully her but actually is she bully me. LOL.

Cousin ah Derrrrrrr (as pronounced by my cutiepie cousin) & moi. He's gross; dig nose still put arm on me. My childhood playmate..i love him la.. sorry i broke your ultraman's hand many years ago but u didnt break my barbie's hand lol..

Our "little bfs". I think mine more handsome. rite. :p
We were told to hug for the pic, although he didnt look too enthusiastic.

My 1 yr old celebration!
From left: cousin De, myself, Lil bf, cousin Jingwen
Proof that kids many yrs ago are more obedient; do as told to sit pretty for the camera.

Last but not least.. my beloved grandma.

Mah mah as we affectionately call. Many of our behaviours are learnt in the childhood years and this amazing woman gave me so much, so unconditionally. Someone with a strong & steely demeanour, yet does her maternal duties with unwavering love and dedication.

The world can tumble around her and yet she keeps to her duties and still manage that signature smile; this to me is true dignity.

A humanitarian, the strays at old Boon Keng have her to thank cos without fail, a bag of leftover dinner would sit waiting for the "cat auntie" to distribute daily.

She loves to travel and would be proud of me that I once set foot in many lands, I know. Been years since she passed on, but I'll never forget that smile.

When she smiles, her whole face smiles, eyes too. That one, they say, has to come from the heart :)

I love u, mah mah. Am glad i told her everytime till the last. :)

If I could paint the sky

If I could paint the sky any colour i liked, it would be this..:)

My amateurish attempts at photography! Promised myself someday i would watch a proper sunrise.

Eva & I caught up to go cycle.

Haven't seen her in awhile, glad she got good grades for all her papers! We had so much fun chatting and giggling, despite the awful dinner at HK Cafe and the milk tea which kept me up till now.

Tis the month to be merry! Merry Xmas everyone.:)
