Trying to ignore the release date of the 7th book. Even when Joseph mentioned something in his journal. But I foolishly ventured to wikipedia for a sliver of what was available out there and am now wishing that July is already here ( Read more... )

Just received this posting from Michelle Seetoh:

The Pleasant Surprise

It would have ended up hiding amongst all of the old entries but I felt that it warranted a headlining journal entry by itself.

Thanks for the posting kaninah!

Enjoy!

I was so tired last night, I had a rough time waking up this morning. It's 4:45 PM now and I JUST realized that I had not put on make-up this AM and came to work in nice clothes but no make-up. Wow, I really should get some sleep.

I made 3 cards and a chipboard book for Valentine's. I finally learnt how to work with chipboard books and am now hooked to them! My favourite scrapbook designer Ali Edwards does them quite a bit and although I loved how they look, I never knew how she made them.

Here are the results of my labor o' love:

Handmade Valentines

Naia turned TWO today! My baby girl is TWO! I can't believe the time has flown. We had a party for her at the daycare where I brought in an Elmo video and a 12-pack of yogurt (hah, not 12-pack of beer) and a sugar-free cake.

Speaking of scrapbook, I finished 1 scrapbook! It's for Naia's days at the daycare (I've shared some of those pages before). I am also midway through the scrapbook on Naia's birth to first year but I am not really organized about that one. Now I have the following ideas ( Read more... )

I did most of my shopping online this year and saved myself a little more stress. But I still had to run out and get some last-minute gifts which I was annoyed about because I had to content with the Christmas shopping crowd. Must do better next year.

While at TJ Maxx yesterday, I stumbled upon my fave perfume, Bvlgari Pour Femme for sale! It's usually $50+ if you find a REALLY good sale but I saw them for $30! I grabbed the remaining 2 and thought, "Merry Christmas ( Read more... )

Just viewed a documentary on Abigail and Brittany Hensel - conjoined twins with 2 heads, 4 lungs, 2 hearts, 2 brains, etc except from the waist down. It was totally amazing watching them and their family go through the daily lives. I was completely floored throughout the one segment of the program that I watched - these girls were taking driving ( Read more... )

Was able to meet up with Naia's Godmother, and my closest college pal, Jules on the night before leaving Singapore. She came over to the hotel first to drop off a gift for Naia and me (yay!), then we went to Newton Circus with my mom and sis Gladys for makan. We ordered satay, crispy calamari, and chicken rice and just shared. After which we ( Read more... )
