Weekend is upon us...

Today is April Fool's Day!
my-my-my...it's April already?!
No prank-ing, life at work has kept me extra busy all week! 
The team & I are hard at work preparing for another trip to Singapore very soon.
Not only that, my town house is also in the beginning process of a mini-renovation.
The contractors are going to refinish my hardwood floor & refresh the wall painting.
Lots & lots to do this weekend before leaving the country next week.
A relaxing weekend is not on my schedule at the moment. 
You guys go ahead without me...(~~~slow violin music in the background)
...and have a wonderful & relaxing weekend everyone!
.
P.S: Thank you so much for all your lovely comments this week!
~XOXO*

    Have a great time here in singapore!

    Btw, Geylang Clay pot rice is great - I've tried a few places and this has been my favorite. I have a few other food recs if you're interested including a few in the MBS.

  23. After all how many times a year do you make a business trip? When was the last time I visited Singapore, I wonder? 18 years ago. Already! I'd like to visit there again. Looking forward to your photos so much. Take care and don't carry too much luggage.

  27. I´m having lots to do as well now, since we´re leaving for vacation next weekend. I like my home to be neat and in order when I´m leaving so I can return to the same - which of course mean that I have to get all done during this week! :-)

    Luckily, the spring weather gives me energy! :-)

    Have a great day!

  38. Renovation sounds exciting (once it's done!) I sure do hate the process of having everything in disaray, but what fun to have new paint and floors!
