Life So Far

I've been... very busy with work and enjoying life (not so much because spring is here!). I went to see my immunologist last week and got the prescription for my allergies. I'm probably the only person you know who hates spring with a passion.

The only thing I like about spring is the days are longer and the weather gets warmer. So there come my inspiration and creativity. I started my craft projects, hopefully it will not take ages to complete them this time. I also re-arranged my craft room, threw away junks (I wonder why I even collected them in the first place)...

1/ Made 3 new cushions. I bought those home deco fabrics from Stockholm ages ago.
2/ Little boy loves the cushions.
3/ The stuffs on my board were gifts from Japan, except for the Hello Kitty calendar I got from M&S last year. Oh, my new Janome rocks!
4/ All the way from Paris. Mariage Freres Marco Polo is my most favourite tea in the world.

A Long Weekend in Radstadt

We went skiing again last weekend. It's our second ski vacation this season. I hope we get to do this more often but ski vacations aren't always the cheapest way to spend a long weekend ;)

We were in Radstadt this time and went to 2 different ski resorts - Flachau and Zauhensee which is now my second favourite ski resort after Serfaus. The weather was perfect - sunny and warm! The ski slopes are well-groomed and there weren't too many people as it's off-peak season now.





1/ Mr.M and I taking a break half way down the hill.2/ Taking a break again!3/ Going to the peak.4/ In Flachau.

Another Birthday

I turned a year older (again) on 26 February. Since Mr.M is on his 3-week business trip in the US, I spent this special day with two of best friends. K flew in from The Netherlands just to celebrate my birthday. We've been knowing one another for almost 11 years. It was nice to have them around, it remind me of our good, old, crazy younger days back in Australia. K is moving back to Australia next year, so is another close friend of ours who is now in China for work. Sometimes I secretly hoping Mr.M will tell me, 'Let's move to Australia!'. He knows I've always wanted to move out of Europe, to be closer to my family but... (there's always a but).




1/ We started our day at Cafe Louvre for brunch.
2/ I played a tourist guide for a day.
3/ Later in the evening, we went to La Casa Argentina for dinner, then clubs-hopping until midnight.
4/ I bought myself an early birthday present - a KitchenAid Artisan!

Mr.M is coming home on Sunday. I can't wait to see him and what he's bringing me from the US this time!

February

Happy Valentine's Day! Are you celebrating this special day? Mr.M and I don't usually do anything special - we have dinner and good wine at home, usually he'll cook. He's away in the US for business this time. He will not be home until next month.

I still need to edit the photos we've taken during our trip. Here are some random ones from my iPhone. I love Instagram! Haven't you noticed it? :)





1/ I actually like Costa Coffee hot chocolate better than the Starbucks one!
2/ Louis Vuitton window display at Takashimaya, Singapore. Wilshire PM in Monogram Vernis Rayures.
3/ I love my Repetto flats. I'm definitely going to buy more of them.
4/ Now we have added Singapore to our Starbucks city mugs collection.

The Weekend!

It started snowing yesterday. Mr.M and I went shopping and I finally got to wear my sunnies again! It was sunny but freezing when we left home. He was laughing at my photo, saying the reflection on my glasses looked like bird's dropping! Men!

1/ Loving my Prada sunnies and Burberry scarf.
2/ Took my new Sorel boots out today. They keep my feet warm and happy. They run small. I have to get them in EU39 - I'm a EU38.
3/ Pink Prada Saffiano credit card holder is finally out of the box.
4/ We went Le Creuset to pick up a present for my mom. I wanted to add another casserole but Mr.M disagreed! I need a Cassis in my collection!
