Inspired

I've been inspired by onehourcraft, and I'm gonna try some crafting this long weekend. Thinking of making a Christmas Wreath for my home. I have to go dig out all the crafting odds and ends that I have stashed away. Looks like it's gonna be a good weekend! 0 comments

Whizz through the Weekend

Since Dr Chua was back in Singapore, we took a trip down memory lane to the old SCGS building and managed to take some shots at the place where we used to sit and wait for our parents after school.

Saturday's Souther Ridges plan became a baking session as the weather was just too hot. The buns turned out better than our last baking attempt :)

Then, I was off for the food race around Singapore! I had lots of fun driving around Singapore to track down the best food stalls.

The winning team!

Pastor Mark as the navigator and entertainment

Germ and I figured out the clues and took photos of the places

and Lianya was the driver

Poladroid!

Since one of the items on my Christmas wish list this year is a Polaroid Camera, I decided to go online and check if I could find any programmes that could make my regular digital photos look like Polaroids. There are in fact quite a few! But my favourite is the Poladroid. After downloading the programme, the Poladroid shows up as a cool Polaroid camera image and all you have to do is drag and drop your picture of choice.
Just like a real Polaroid photo, the picture first appears as a yellowish-brown mess. But wait several minutes and you have a beautiful polaroid image. I love it! 0 comments

Whizz through the weekend

I had an eventful weekend. I rushed home from work on Friday to try a cinnamon bun recipe that I found online. Despite being hopeless at reading the very simple instructions (I actually forgot to add the eggs and I let the dough rise before rolling it out and adding the cinnamon filling) and not having the proper tool (my house was devoid of a rolling pin), I must say the buns turned out quite well. very pleased with myself :)

Bright and early on Saturday morning, my family and I headed off to the ACS carnival, since my brother had to absorb $200 worth of tickets.

There were cool carnival rides, great food (my brother queued up for half an hour to buy $10 wagyu beef burgers), popcorn and candy floss and interesting stuff to buy, like homemade jam. Since it was a fund-raising event, everything was really expensive.

After lunch with Miss Yang and Chris, I was off to my first Christmas party this year! I didn't bring my camera though, so I'll have to wait till others upload their photos. Moses' church was all dressed up in its Christmas best to celebrate God's grace throughout the year.

I was excited to go to church on Sunday, as I was going to help out with Sunday School for the toddlers. I love the toddlers, how can anyone not love these adorable young ones?

Hope you guys had a good weekend too!

Casual Poet

The Casual Poet is a lovely little cafe on the third floor of a shophouse in Chinatown. One of my friends introduced me to this place. We climbed the dodgy looking stairs to find this wonderful creative space. I wanted to own such a place of my own.

Sadly, I heard that as of 22 November, the place is closing. Everyone should go down and bid the Casual Poet goodbye...

Kindness Day

Today is World Kindness Day!Have you shown a little kindness to someone today?

I woke up really early this morning to the sound of the rain outside my window. I love waking up to rain.

In the early morning light, I had a flash of brilliance for my office gift exchange. As I am quite adverse to receiving awful photoframes or mugs recycled from 5 Christmas gift exchanges ago, I decided it will be a not-so-secret-Santa concept this year. Everyone will put up a Christmas wishlist, with stuff they want. Then we will draw names from a hat and buy things specifically for that person. So there is no stress in guessing what the other person wants, and we all get stuff that we are happy with. At the same time, we get to know our colleagues better!

Everyone is telling me that it's waaaaay too early to start all these Christmas stuff, but I'm in the Christmas spirit already. :) 0 comments

Mid-week Madness

We had the November Bidrthday Celebration at work yesterday. As usual, it was meant to be a surprise. But when you are called to the meeting room when you were not expecting a meeting, AND it's your birthday month, everyone knows what is happening. We had a good time anyway.

The birthday babies!

Trying their best to look shocked as they came in.

Everyone giving their best "surprised" expression.

Taking the cue from Orchard Road, I convinced my colleagues that we should put up our Christmas tree as well. It was fun putting up the tree, but I don't think it will be that much fun taking it down. I'll put up pictures of our tree soon!

Looking forward to German dinner tonight.
