~So JUICY*

~Hello again everyone!

Hope this mid-week has been treating you well so far?

Just want to show you what I had for lunch...

Simply had the craving for this juicy mushroom burger~ YUM*

errr-errr...Who is counting calories right?

(strawberry milkshake not shown!) 

.

This painted staircase in Amsterdam, is such a great reminder for us to walk up & down the stairs more often. Yup, instead of using the elevator/escalator (tighten those buns darlings!). Plus, flight of stairs will not cost any membership to a gym.

Anywayyy... 

Have you seen this video?

Very interesting~ enjoy!

Julianne Moore for Bulgari~

~Do you know... Venice, Italy has banned Julianne Moore's Bulgari Ads from being posted in the city! (source:Telegraph UK). The photos show the beautiful 'nude' actress covered up by lion cubs, Bulgari handbags & jewelry. The Mayor claimed that the images are wayyy too racy & inappropriate for St. Mark's Square. I thought some of the old Italian paintings & sculptures found in Venice can be quite 'racy' as well no?!
. 

.

.

Oh well...
all I know, those lion cubs are simply adorable!

...and I really-really want to squeeeeeze them !! 

~Now that we've seen the images in question,

what do you think guys?

~XOXO*

errr...on second thought,
let's just head to McDonald's & call it a day!

Both My Parents' Birthdays Are Coming Up...

Is it so wrong to get these pillows for my father for his Birthday?

My mom as always, has not been paying enough attention to him...

especially in the bed room department!!

Some of you may know that my parents do not have the

 healthiest relationship in the world(sobs*)...dysfunctional is more like it!

Their birthdays are just one day apart~ 13th & 14th November.

Anywayyy...

Let me go on looking for my mom's birthday gift as well.

Perhaps the same shop may sell the same pillows...
in 'Male Hunky' version!?

Are your parents still together & not 'killing' each other?

[ sorry...I'm always so nosy like that! ]

~XOXO*

Who would visit INDIA during the wet & rainy monsoon season?

" Me darling, ME!!! "

( yup,  I'm dangerous like that! )

As promised, more photos from my recent trip to India.

Rain or shine I was still busy clicking on my camera!

The rain certainly added a 'special effect' in the images~

~take a look, or better still,,,

take a taxi ride around the rainy+wet Kolkata City, India :

.

I was quite CHARM-ed by the old taxis there...~cute!
But not so much for the traffic though~ it was absolutely crazzzy!
( Instead of 'Eat Pray Love' ala Julia Roberts' movie,
It was more like; Scream Pray Scream!!! )
So glad to make it home alive in one piece!
.
PS: Hope everyone had a lovely weekend?!
Shall share my weekend 'rendezvous' with all of you soon ~until then!
..
~XOXO*

...Is it weekend yet?

errr...well almost!

I'm quite excited for this upcoming weekend...

.

...cos' someone has asked me out on a date! 

.

'OKie! ~I replied.

hey-heyyy...still single & so ready to mingle!

(blush-blush*)

.

* w i n k ! *

Anywayyy...

Take a look at what I bought during my lunch break...so cute no?

This tin giraffe was made + hand painted by the Shona tribe of Zimbabwe, Africa.

Got it from Barnes & Noble Store. Did not realize this bookstore has started

selling such cuteness these days. I think Giraffes are such amazing creatures and

I simply adore how they sometimes flutter their long eyelashes ~so coquettish!

~XOXO*

Books glorious Books~

" Great quote Uncle Karl! "

(errr...you know Karl Lagerfeld is my imaginary biological uncle, right?!)

Certainly an EXTRA-ordinary private library he has!

Don't we just lurrrve...the look of books in our living space?

.

~Well, for those who still don't have stacks & stacks & stacks of book collection

like my Uncle Karl, nor space for any of them,,,perhaps the 'Books Wallpaper' 

by Tracey Kendall or Y&B design would just do the trick. (shop HERE)
