Excuse me, do you know who she is? errr...me neither!

But I do adore her fashion; looking very much '2012', isn't it?

Plus, her 'yoga-like-pose' to show off her fabulous cocktail ring!

I did try to pose like her in front of the mirror (blushed).

Well...not so easy to do I tell ya! 

I guess I'm not as flexible lately...a.k.a as stiff as a board!

Go ahead try it for yourself, but do not strain yourself pretty please...

If you can do it easily, I'd be truly impressed~ that's all!

p.s: i need a good+long Swedish massage i think...

Cozy DIY

Here are my collection of cozy socks...

I do lurrrve to slip a pair on during cold winter nights at home.

Excuse me...has this ever happened to you?

When I do my laundry, the other pair of socks sometimes would go missing,

~poofed* disappeared, just vanished! 
I suspect my laundry machine has swallowed them!

(could it be that my dogs ate them?!? errr...the mystery lives on!)
There're certainly lonely-single socks just sitting in my laundry room, 
their mates have gone forever...

Well Helo there...this is quite a witty DIY project.

Sweet Paul has recycled his old knit sweater; 

snip the sleeve + a simple glass vessel + fresh flowers & ~Voilà!

oooh...very cozy winter vase! I can do this with my socks now!

~XOXO*

Oh Baby!

Hope you had a lovely weekend?

The highlight of my weekend was to meet

my friend's baby for the first time ~such a delight!

Let me introduce you to her new little bundle of joy...

 .

...his name is Oliver!

.

...isn't Oliver such a darling?

I always find it interesting how parents come up with names for their babies.

My friend told me that she had narrowed down to 5 names, and the 

moment she noticed her baby's adorable nose, Oliver it is...just like that!

I'm sure many new parents are experiencing 'baby name dilemma', yes? 

Oh no...not me! I have decided on the name for my future baby (blushed*). 

I'd like Liam for a boy & Lia for a girl.

Liam / Lia Nevermore (say it out loud) ...hmm sounds not bad at all!
Nice name for a baby or a blog! ~hah!

Any thoughts on your favorite baby names?

~XOXO*

for Kayleen Theobald's baby photography.

* squeals! *

Any interesting plans for you this weekend?

I'm going to visit one of my co-workers who is in the hospital at the moment. 

Just yesterday, she gave birth to a healthy baby boy!

Looking forward to see them, perhaps even get a chance to hold the 

precious newborn(oh~I'd like that!), and be part of this joyous & beautiful experience.

Obviously I'm curious to find out about her first epidural experience as well!

(I'm nosy like that!)

Have a Relaxing+Cozy Weekend Everyone!

Simple Baking Ingredients

Ikea published a collection of baking recipes called

It has such a refreshing approach to food styling & photography...

2012~ The Year of The Dragon

'12 Animal Years ' crayon carvings by artist Diem Chaw  

Oh my-my...how amazing are they!

The Chinese Zodiac is a twelve year rotation and there is an animal 
associated with each year. If you must know ~I'm a Monkey!

Character/personality traits for those born in the year of the Monkey:

clever, creative, improviser, intellectual, inventive, sociable, quick-witted. 

errr-errr...intellectual, me really??!

All I know is that I'm curiously nosy, that's for sure!

" so excuse me...what is your animal sign? "

Traditional Chinese Red

Over the weekend I managed to sort through more of my recent travel photos.

 The set above were taken in Singapore Chinatown.

I think they're the perfect images for today, as billions of Chinese people

around the world are celebrating the Chinese Lunar New Year all this week!

Traditionally, many people will be wearing red clothing during the festive celebrations.

Red is a very important color in Chinese culture; symbolizing prosperity, 

good fortune and luck! Perhaps I should wear something red too, cos' I'll be facing the 

angry boss yet again this week! errr...I may need all the lucks! {refer to my previous post]

To those who are welcoming the year of the dragon 2012,

Happy Chinese Lunar New Year!

~XOXO*

Meryl Streep - Isn't She Lovely

Rare on-set portraits of Meryl Streep by Brigitte Lacombe,

which were taken over the course of their 31-year relationship.

Anywayyy...

did you watch her Golden Globes acceptance speech for Best Actress last night?

She got bleeped a.k.a censored for her potty mouth!

She slipped the 'S'-word after realizing that she had forgotten her reading glasses!

Regardless, Meryl Streep is as adorable as ever~ lurrrve her!

I'm hoping to watch her great portrayal as Margaret Thatcher in 

The Iron Lady this coming weekend! Has anyone watched the movie yet?
