One of my pretty things

Was at Jurong Point last week and I was patronizing this cutsie Korean stationary shop. Been there a few times with different people, all of whom were simply intrigued by the stationaries sold. I enjoyed browsing through the items and I have to admit that they are really unique and pretty quirky. But I always thought that I won't find anything that's so worth my buy since cutsie & kawaii stuff are so not my cup of tea. Alas, I was wrong!

Discovered a section in the shop where there was 25% & 50% discounted sale items and I didn't noticed this corner before. Being me, I just zoomed in on that corner, still cynical about being able to find something I would buy. Flipped through the diaries, more diaries and other knick knacks and suddenly I chanced upon this calendar! It looked very simple in design but just pleasing to my eyes. Instinctively, I checked for the price and it was $15! Very immediately, the boss told me that there's a 50% discount for it. Ha! Sweet :) But I didn't buy it immediately as I wanted to be sure I needed it.

To cut the long story short, I bought it. 2 factors:

1. After discount, it was $7.50!

2. The calendar is for 2009 & 2010!

Simply put, ITS ULTRA VALUE FOR MONEY!!!!!!!! Enough said.

I was so proud of my buy that I could not stop admiring it and I had to show it off to Joani! Its seated beautifully on my table now. For sure, I'm not going to make it a white elephant! Its too pretty to just be an ornament :)

The design attached is different for each month and its all my favourite things!

Perspective

Sitting down in front of the computer and listening to 'All The Earth' for the 10th time. Its Anais's off day and we have been trying to upload our pictures onto Facebook. I've got my Day 1 up but poor Ana, still trying to get hers up! Have been in Cambodia for 5 days and returning to Singapore on thursday. Previously, time seem to snail by but as I browsed through the pictures taken of the past few days, I realised that its not that slow after all. Coming to Cambodia this time was different. Was supposed to lead a team to LIA but ended up not because of lack of preparation time and inadequate response. Anyhow, I just felt I should make a personal trip up to see for myself the work at LIA and sense what God is doing in this land. Prior to the trip, I've been reading about Cambodia's news and they just appear everyday in the papers. Well it can't be more clear than this so I went. Followed Anais as she goes to and fro the b oys' & girls' home to t

Breather

Back from a Sec 3 level camp in JB, Tanjung Piai. Thought I could have the week's off to clear my brain's cache and prepare my lesson plans but alas...I'm down for ODAC camp and sec 4s' oral exam mock practice! When can I have my breather???? Sometimes I wonder whether returning to a familiar place is good for me after all. I'm like on the 'Wanted' list for this committee, that committee, this event, that event etc. Not that I'm popular or high-in-demand, its just that I'm nicely available. I'm not usually mindful of taking on responsibilities. Its just that during these 10 weeks, I reckon is a crucial component of my NIE understudy and I am not wanting to settle for something less in my planning (although i really hate lesson plannings!). But I'm so stretched! I feel like screaming: " GIVE ME MY SPACE!" To say the least, I'm feeling stressed. Most unfortunately, I'm not given the option to say 'No'. Not until I get

Eat....Laugh....Be Merry!

Anais and myself finally satisfied our craving for chilli crab...after 2 weeks! YESSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHH.........:) happy happy! Together with Ben, Brian and my sis, we headed to Sembawang to indulge in some seafood delicacies that included huge cereal prawns and stingray. It was also a form of celebration for Anais who graduated not too long ago! You bet we were so stuffed after that! Anais still wanted ice-cream after the meal but we were already max. out in terms of stomach's space and capacity. Yummy food was of course the highlight but what was more memorable was the company. First time hanging out with Ben and Brian and it turned out to be a hilarious time! Good food eaten with 'happening' people makes it even more tasty. I treasured this time of fellowshipping as I got to see a different side of people and getting to know them better. More of such makan sessions is good for bonding! Singaporean leh..:) From left: Ben, Jasmine (sis), me, Anais and Brian Happy we went, tota
