Days 112-113: Catching Up

I'm trying to catch up on all the different outfit everyday posts that I have missed in the crazy periods I was home between trips. Here are the outfits I wore for those days. 

I must say I'm very thankful for all the opportunities I have had to see the world due to work. Many of these places, I would not have even considered going if not for work. I am also thankful for the grace and protection I have enjoyed on everyone of the trips. But I am also thankful that the crazy traveling schedule of the last month have come to the end for now, well at least until November. And that I will have a little more time to settle the stuff for my new home. Much catching up is in order.

Watch out for my Beijing post coming up next!

Day 114: SCGS Girls

Xian and I showed up at the office one day looking like twins. 

I guess SCGS girls never get little blue sleeveless dresses out of our system.

Day 128: Lunch Time Shopping

In the midst of all the craziness, one thing I always thank God for at work are my peers who are smart, hardworking, honest and fun people. 

On Friday they bowed to my request to go 2nd hand shopping at lunch time. 

The total haul among the 4 of us were several dresses, an economics textbook, and a set of golf clubs with a rusty 7 iron. All at rock bottom bargain prices. We all went home as happy shoppers. 

Tip for 2nd hand shopping: wear something comfy and fitting so that you can easily slip on stuff over your clothes to see if they fit. I had my striped maxi dress on which was perfect. And I threw a vest over to make it slightly more work appropriate for casual Friday at the office.

Days 117-119 and 123: The Weather Man Lies

Last week I was in 20 degree Bonn, wrapped up in 3 layers of clothes and still freezing.

I must confess I didn't take my daily photo cos I basically looked like that during days 117-119 with my black and white coat on. Not to mention, it was close to impossible to find a german who could take a decent iphone photo. (This photo was taken by an sq staff at the airport) But I promise I was wearing very different and pretty outfits below. 

Today, I landed in smoggy 20 degree Beijing. I was in my black spaghetti strapped dress with my shawl and feeling just fine. 

Now, one of these weather men must be lying to me.

Day 116: Sunday in Bonn

Hello Bonn, we meet again. 

Despite the cold, I had to have my favourite 0.80euro gelato. 

Apart from indulging in some gelato, What is a girl to do in Bonn on a Sunday, when all shops are closed?

Well it seems many Bonn residents spend their Sunday strolling along the Rhine river. So I took a Home and Decor magazine and spent the afternoon browsing my magazine, watching the boats sail by and people watching.

Watching friends, lovers and families stroll along really made me miss home. It didn't help that a road along the river shared Mr Kwek's name.

Thankfully, this is a short trip and I'll b home soon enough.  0 comments

Day 115: I'm Off Again

After a very productive day of confirming my renovation plans, sending mooncakes to the parents and choir, I'm off again to Bonn. See you all soon!

Day 111: Aspiring Super-Wife

Introducing Super-Wife. She cooks, cleans, and comes complete with her home sewn apron to protect her office clothes! 

By God's grace, maybe I'll get there some day. And if God blesses us with children, I hope to be able to bring them up to love Him too. 

In the mean time, I'm still an aspiring-super-wife, often overwhelmed by the stresses of work, laundry piling up and a messy home. But I'm glad Mr Kwek plays his part as well and recognizes my efforts. 

So here's the answer to my little question in my previous post. The latest addition to my wardrobe all the way from London is a new bag! 

While I'm still an aspiring super-wife, I can pretend to be a tai tai :)
