A Life in Black and White

am not your usual lady in the neighbourhood. i could be fun-loving and ambitions blazing, yet chilling with a good book in hand. loves audrey hepburn movies, lemon-lime-&-bitters, vintage anything and furniture. am not one effortlessly impressed. i see my goals, my dreams and the enjoyment would lie not merely in the success at the end of the road but in this journey of life. livin` it, lovin` it, keepin` it real. i travel alone, i travel light, in my 20`s - la vie est belle!

Girls' Night Out

Here we go...the first dinner leading to another year in the late twenties range...

Nice cosy Italian place Durrow Gal and myself stumbled upon at Mohamed Sultan Road corner of UE Square, which was a pleasant surprise as it turned out to be way better than we'd expected. Lovely dinner at Donta, with award winning Chef Luca Pezzera - it's no wonder.

Amazing appetizer of Australian scallops, generous mains of Lamb and Sirloin, topped off with a complimentary slice of Tiramisu and a fabulous Warm Chocolate cake with rum and raisin ice-cream on the side. Yums!

Not to mention, service was impeccable and we were thoroughly impressed!


Here's the interesting bit - do you believe in auras? The waiter who took our pics said I had an aura around me in the photo which meant that someone's sending me a signal that things will become clear to me in my life somehow...well, something to reflect on...

Thanks babe for the cosy dinner I couldn't have asked for more :)

Hello Stranger!

When people talk about technology, this is what comes to mind. The latest Apple i-Phone, the most recent Sony Bravia LCD series, the entire influx of new pda phones and the list goes on. From this, you can clearly tell that my forte lies not with technology – matter of fact, I may even be one of the least IT-savvy ladies around! But there it was, the HTC Touch Diamond. Being a long time faithful Nokia user, I have yet to figure out how to toggle with new interfaces from other technology brands. Hence, this will be a good effort for a try!

May I present the HTC Touch Diamond…

It looks slim and sleek enough - and chic - for my liking. Functions are quite user friendly and there is a whole lot of window applications which I have to figure out! It's the new Windows Mobile technology - and I believe it's going to open up a whole new world altogether.

The night

"Journey to the center of the earth" (starring Brandon Fraser) was a pleasant surprise. R and I both thought it was good. Entertaining and kept us glued to the screen the whole time :)

Anyway onto the exciting part...we got home and I could not wait to open up the parcel that R had picked up from my parents this evening! Finally, my loubies* have arrived! :) Advanced bday gift from R...They are classy (as I'd expected them to be), and above all, beyond comfy (even after the initial pythons, I'd just imagined it to be luck that they were so comfy, apparently it's starting to be a common trait in Loubies) - I'm a convert - enough for 2008!

And, in fine print...

*Loubies - Christian Louboutins (pronounced "Loo-boo-tan-s")

I'm a happy girl...pictures another day - I'm tired, am gona veg myself out in front of FTV in a minute...ciao!

So, I had a conversation with SF the other night, here goes...

SF: Free in September?

Moi: When abouts in September?

SF: 1-3 September.

Moi: Sure, what's on your cards?

SF: I've got tickets to the Opera. Keen?

Moi: Of course, sounds good!

SF: Alrighty then, I'll make arrangements - it's at the Esplanade by the way.

Moi: Thanks dear! Sweet of you to ask me along!

SF: Let's dress up for the Opera!

Moi: How exciting!

And so, we're off to watch the Opera come September "Puccini's Turandot" - I can't wait :)

Hope I get rid of the horrid flu bug by next week...
