And so I came across amazing pics of Alexander Wang's apartment - I had to put them up - he's sucha genius!

Perhaps I do regret not buying his dress at Uni:Qlo when we were in NYC. O well.

Enjoy!


How cool is this table?? I'm holding my breath - absolutely love it!

Side-note, I got another parcel in the mail - surprise surprise, AA actually sent me the dress from way back that was back-ordered, I couldn't even remember about it! ODJ pics will be up when I finally bother to dress up once I recover from my op!

of death and daffodils

It's been too long. Seems like I've been away for what has been more than a week. A funeral, and puffy sore eyes didn't help. I grieved for the loss.

Durrow Gal and I checked out the live fish spa somewhere near town (Novena area to be exact) - what an experience...it was a slight tickle but I guess it was slightly effective...I'm beginning to think the fishes were really starving at the rate they were clinging onto our feet and skin! Worth a try still nonetheless, for the experience if anything...

Elin came back from Tokyo with goodies! Am gonna repay the favour when I transit in Tokyo :)

R and I sneaked out to the showflat launch of the most expensive HDB (read, public housing) in Singapore...Cityview @ Boon Keng...furnishings look pretty fine, but personally though I won't find myself paying SGD600,000 (approx USD430,000) for that tiny unit on a 99year leasehold land, and it's only gona be built in 3-4 years' time. Not now, amidst the whole US sub-prime problem...really, it's a hefty price to pay for public housing, it's no wonder people aren't snapping the units up!



And that's my cue - I'm off to bed...this is really random but it's truly unbelieveable how earholes remain even after being untouched for 6 years...

Ah! I have to check out Marc Jacobs in Boston - can't wait :)

Hope you guys like the new song by Babyface on the blog - I love it - enjoy!

Ciao!

mind over heart

I couldn't sleep last night. It was a shift of sorts - drifting in and out of slumber...

Isn't it miraculous that even with a mortgage, a job that pays more which equates to greater deliverables, daily politics and mind games with the average human being, coupled with the four years that have passed...your shadow still lurkes in my heart.

Maybe it's just the imprints that you left behind which I can never fully relieve myself of. I was so young then. Footprints in the sand...I guess it's only human.

We've embarked on different journeys now. And the world is full of so many more different assumptions now. But I won't go running back again. I was so young then.

It took so long and so much help to pull me back up on track all these years.

And with 3 members of the family in Chicago now for J's convocation, and another 1 member of the family in Melbourne Australia, I feel like I've lost my voice, even if it was just for a fortnight. Doesn't quite make any sense, does it?





Yes I'm working even harder to reach even more of my dreams...suppose this is but the beginning...never say never, never say impossible, there's always a way about everything. I revamped the home single-handedly in less than a fortnight within a budget of Sgd 7,500 (approx Usd 5,000) and its pictures made their way into a local decor mag. One of my best achievements to date...and now it's back to the daily tolls in life...

Happy Easter

Look at what I saw at Hermes.

Beautiful :)

The new addition

I was out shopping with R and I so cleverly diverted his attention away to the mega electronic store - Best Denki when I was still taking my own sweet time looking away at bedskirts for my mum at Aussino....then when I went back to my dear hubby, there he was all hyped up with his new find - SONY BRAVIA 46" LCD for a bargain price!

So, as you can all imagine what happened next...yes, we bought the TV and its humongous screen is now sittting prettily in our living room...more movie watching in comfort :)

Hmm, it's amazing what men can find in sucha short time...especially when it comes to something like electronics! It's almost the equivalent to what women can find when it comes to beautiful clothes and gorgeous shoes :)

for the love of design

Here are a few of my favourite pieces from the Kare Design range in Munich, Germany - and yes (!), we can get our hands on them locally in Singapore :)

These pieces could surely jazz up any room...

And, my personal addition to our home :) the lovely clock on the left...kinda reminds me of a very European past...

"Vision is not enough, it must be combined with venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps, we must step up the stairs." - Vaclav Havel

The flu bug has hit me for more than a week! Yes, it struck me so secretly after the JP morgan run (which incidently became my first ever hour-long walk!) :( Only good thing, is my exam is finally over...

I've officially lost my voice, and I feel terrible to top it off...

Anyways, since I last left off...I went to Domvs at Sheraton Towers for Elle's Narciso Rodriguez Workshop last Saturday only to leave before it all began all because of my horrible cough! Domvs had a new nice interior - cosy and classic (I love their red chairs!), would have to head back to try the food another time!

Well, moving onto a happier note, R has so sweetly paid for some goodies from the Raoul sale...

To make myself feel better, here are some beautiful things I love...lovely interiors, and pieces from Kate Moss' delectable Top Shop range - which SC and I will be checking out once it hits the shops this week!

Ciao! Have a magical weekend :)

A peep

Just found out that our blinds for the guest room are finally up :)

Makes a world of difference!

Look at what came in home delivery this morning! :)

The purple pansy set I've been raving about - finally :)

"Love makes a fairytale out of an ordinary life."

It's the start of a week

R's finally packed and left for Jakarta...This arrangement certainly isn't easy on us both and sometimes I wonder how long it will all take for R to be back for a much longer period of time. Oh well.

Good news is that our place has been featured in a magazine - the February edition of Home Style...



Anyway, I just got back home from work...it's the second half-day annual leave that I had to take since the year started. And before I begin on what an utter waste of annual leave this is, my computer, hopefully won't be coughing up any more trouble from now on! The first half-day I had to take saw the replacement of my RAM and now the motherboard.

An hour to go, before I shall make my way down to NYP to talk to the staff...hoping for the best!

The land of smiles

Bangkok as usual was full of food, shopping and massages...Highlight must have been the new little boutique hotel where we stayed for 2 nights - Siam at Siam Design Hotel and Spa

Look at my loot from the trip :)



A pin-striped suit...



And some more casual wear...



The shoes! (For S$8.60 each) - wedges and slip-ons alike...



Here're the rest of our pics from this trip....
