a joyful season of buying momentum

I had been excited all of last week, looking forward to the Sunday that just passed, so that we could finally put up the Christmas tree we bought last year (!!)...Initially deep down though, I think R was really dreading to take it out again, as the dismantling was messy. Now, imagine going through all the stuff in the storeroom just to put up the tree all over again...

Yet (BUT, I stress!) once the tree was up with the bright gold lights twinkling away, I felt so happy - ha, like a little girl in a candy store - with the simplest little joys in life! Now that the tree is up, I'm really tempted to buy more crystal ornaments to adorn the tree (and perhaps I just might), or even change the colour scheme, however we've come to the consensus that it would be classic gold...for now, we love it!

And the lovely Christmas gift (the neverfull MM bag!) I got during lunchtime from R :) I love it! Plus, look at the Burberry Blue Label scarf I got from a Japanese importer near office...That's the end of Christmas shopping and I've got all the wrapping to do!

what dreams are made of - c`est si bon

My head feels heavy. I feel I didn't do as well as I could have in the paper today. But I guess if I don't make it through this time around, I'll sign up for it again next year.

On hindsight, a lot has happened in this year alone. And I'm looking forward to stepping into the new year. I'm taking on a new job soon and I can't wait to see what lies ahead in 2008!

My dearest babe - Durrow Gal at her birthday! May all your deepest wishes come true :)

Happy cheery me...

And some pretty things...

Back from Shenzhen and the trip was really packed. The three of us girls did so much in sucha short time, I think the most amazing part would have been the tailoring we went for.

Have a peek - one of the tops and suits I got done :)

Yes, other than that, I really enjoyed the massage! Fell straight into slumber...it was perfect!

So, even though we had the horrible incident with the luggage we lost in the Shenzhen cab, the trip was a good break we all deserved.

Now, back to studying for my FRM coming Saturday!
