the pretty little things in life*

Workload has been increasing, and I need to settle all the outstanding stuff and prepare for the upcoming events before I leave for my camp in another one week's time.

Last Sunday.

I went for my first official baking class with my colleague, Weeling! Baked fruit tarts, which took us about 2.5 hours in all. Our teacher for the day made the lesson interesting in every way possible and was patient in explaining every single detail to the students. Satisfied with the final product!

As time was running out, we had no time to bake more cookies with our remaining dough. The teacher was so sweet! She took the dough home and made cookies for all of us! And the cookies were sent to my office on Tuesday evening! Wrapped up nicely! Really made my day!

Was away for course on Wednesday and Thursay at HQ. Made alot of new friends, some of which whom I will be seeing them again soon during the camp next week! Course ended early on Thursday, and I went to meet my beloved YY for dinner and shopping at Bugis! Didnt really get anything for myself. I think I have out-grown Bugis already! It's infested with teenagers who dress like they are attending a fashion show. Time to scout for a new shopping paradise!

Went to work bright and early on Friday. Had breakfast with Peter, Ivan and Mdm Goh. Hurriedly finish up my work as I was only working half-day. Then, it was to SIM for my brother's convocation!

The happy family!

My irritating brother!

Look who was with me!

It was YY's sister graduation too! Here's Joanne W!

All three of us!

Mr Adrian Sim! Looking smart! Congratulations!

Rushed down to IMM to meet my love* for dinner after he ended work! And Anderson's ice cream was slurpingly delicious!

Dating Saturday!
Lunched at Beppu Menkan Japanese Noodle Restaurant at Suntec City. Ramen was served according to the different levels of spicy-ness. Level 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16. I only had Level 1 and the man had Level 2 (which was already quite spicy in both our opinion)! For those who are interested, please try Level 16 and let me know! Hehs...

We didnt want to go to Suntec initially as the crowd due to COMEX was sure to drown us. But we had to go because of Eeyore! Lol...the man got me this super adorable Eeyore plush toy as my car companion! It's ultra soft and cuddly, made both of us squeezed and hugged it for the entire day hehs...

After we got our baby Eeyore, we attended the RSAF Open House at Paya Lebar Airbase. It was a rather massive and impressive event with static/aerial display, simulations and carnival etc. Slight drizzle in between, but that did not damper our spirits because after the rain, we saw the beautiful rainbow! Whee! Has been a long time since I last saw a rainbow and I couldnt stop snapping at such a breathtaking sight, until the man said it was enough lol...

Took a shot of this toddler playing in the puddle of water at the Open House, with his daddy holding his hand. I thought it was a pretty heart-warming shot.

Spent about 3 hours at the Open House and we went for dinner and Wall E! Say Wall EEEEEEE and EEEEEEEva! Haha...definitely a must-see! Worth 10,000 popcorns! It's amazing how the show can be so captivating when 70% of the time, all you hear in the show is 'Wall E' and 'Eva' hehs...I shall not ruin the day for those who havent got a chance to catch the show yet, but be sure to watch it! Uber cute to the max. Wall E's expressions are classic.

It was a packed day, packed with truckloads of love*!

Yesterday was off-in-lieu day due to the National Day holiday!

Both of us took the same day off to run some simple errands. Still, the day was very enjoyable with my love*!

Started the day by making a trip back to office as I left my purse in the office the previous day at work. Then to Chinatown for travel quotations and YumCha. But YumCha buffet only starts at 3pm! Hence, dropped the idea and headed to VivoCity where we had my favourite ThaiExpress! Tom Yam Goong! Yums!

To the bank to settle some stuff and then to Pacific Coffee Company again! Our favourite hangout place! We just lazed the afternoon away deciding on holiday plans and the man was drafting out a list of to-bring items for my NACLI camp in September! Hehs...with him around, nothing can go wrong!

Went down to HP Service Center after that to get my laptop fixed and then, to Queensway to get my FBT shorts! Need some extra pieces for my camp! Back home to Tampines for dinner and we caught The Love Guru as his colleague said that it was a nice show. But it wasnt our cup of tea hehs...

And so...my love* has decided to let me have my way and pamper me during our little getaway by going to BKK! Best part of the trip has gotta be going together with him! Here comes the second best part! On our trip to BKK, we will be staying at...Marriott Courtyard Bangkok! OMG! This place is paradise!

Wont be a trip filled with constant shopping. We're just gonna relax and enjoy life in Thailand at a slower pace with mild shopping, food, spas, massages, attractions...and each other!

I cannot wait for December! Whee!

Havent had much time to take care of this little space for a while. Busy and tired from work, but happy and blissful!

Went to the tour agencies in Chinatown area last Saturday to check out the travel rates. Then to Funan DigitalLife Mall to get my boy's new laptop! Like finally! He got a decent ACER model with an in-built webcam and needless to say, he was pretty much in love with the functions! He's making me super tempted to get a new laptop with in-built webcam to play with him as well hehs...sending my current HP model to the service centre as it's starting to fail me. Here's the big boy playing with his 18 year old toy penguin. Cute to the max! Lol. Couldnt stop laughing at the other end of the screen.

Just came back from another lovely Saturday! This time round, we went to Mint Museum of Toys located along Seah Street. For all vintage toy lovers, this is not a place to be missed. Extremely rare vintage pieces to relive your childhood memories! Expect Snoopy, Flinstones, Batman, TinTin, Ultraman, Popeye, Mickey Mouse, Betty Boop, Bruce Lee, Beatles and so many more!

These are my personal favourites! Betty Boop and Seven Drawfs! Uber cuteness to the max!

My big boy who is actualy, really, a very young boy at heart. Lol.

All my life, I waited for someone like you. And I found you! After 22 years! Teeheehee!

************

As some of my closest friends have already known by now, yes. My new car has finally arrived! Mitsubishi Lancer EX in cool black! Woots! It's such a beauty! Too cool for me. Hahs...

************

Definitely dont consider myself to be a sports fanatic, but Beijing Olympics 2008 has been really awesome up till now. Michael Phelps has got to be my favourite swimmer. I hope he gets his 8th Olympics gold medal in the medley race!

And of course, the big hoo-haa in town about Singapore's first Olympics medal in 48 years. My whole office was watching the match of the century, together with Boss, on Friday evening hahs...none of us was in the mood to work as we sat down in front of the google box to support Singapore. It was truly an intense heart-thumper. And of course, everyone jumped for joy when Singapore was guaranteed at least a Silver Olympics medal! And I'm not shy to say that I had tears in my eyes. I kid you not. Somewhere in a little corner of my heart, I felt touched.

Daddy's birthday coming up next!

Will be away in camp for two weeks in September!

Zoo trip in September with my love*
