Goodies from home

This photo don't do the parcel of goodies any justice...

Anyhows, thanks Maa for the MJ eyeshadow, contact lens, and taking the time & effort to mail these lovely things to me.

Sharon, the jacket is awesome! Perfect for work and day-to-day outings. Oh I dig the hoodie - you sure know my style! Thank you Sis for your kind thoughts and love *hugs*

shoppers galore!

Alas! The wait is over… The new mall is finally open on St Georges Terrace (CBD in Perth). It is called enex100.

If you've been to Perth you would know that most of the malls are a storey, maximum 2 storeys high. This one is 3 (nothing to 'whoa' about) but the main hype for me is the entire interior concept reminds me of Singapore shopping malls! I feel like home everytime I step in it…

The best thing is, it's situated directly opposite my office so it's really convenient. There is a Woolworths Supermarket where I walk over to do my grocery shopping after work.

There's a Kit's cosmetics store which I super duper love. I bought thebalm's Hot Mama blush a couple of days ago, and I absolutely adore this blush. It reminds me of NARS Orgasm but in my opinion, way better.

It goes well with every skin tone, and I mean it. It gives you the healthiest glow ever. If you are sick of finding the perfect blush, well take off the guess work and look no further, this one's for you!

Loving the nudes

6 more days and its officially Spring. I am amused that in spite the cold, I'm still alive. Well at least I've never gotten sick... a few sniffles but nothing too serious. I have parents who are strong, healthy, and I proud to have inherited their awesome genes!

Weekend went in a snap.

I went to the mall on Saturday. I managed to pick up a couple of things for my younger brother and bestie. Priceline was having a $3 off Maybelline products so I bought a Moisture Extreme lipstick in "Sweet Ginger" for Mum.

Personally Maybelline's Moisture Extreme lipsticks are my favourite drugstore lippies! They smell great, super moisturising, and has SPF15 in it. I've it in Born with it, and my fav is Nude Blush. If you want a nude lip, trust me you can't go wrong this baby (:

The moving story of Esther and Sam...

It made me think... that I am very fortunate.

Reflection <3

I was admiring my Ava Calendar a couple of days ago and it suddenly struck me that it's August already. More than half a year has gone by and even though it has not been a fab year, it has certainly been a good year. A couple of setbacks but thankfully no major upsets.

Looking back, its been 8 years since I left Spore for Perth. 8 years is a long time and I've friends popping questions somewhere along the lines of "how did you get the courage to live away from home for this long?" Well the answer is simple - I wouldn’t have had the will to do so if not for the love and support from my family and friends.

I am very fortunate to be bless with a family, a complete one. I've a handsome Dad who never fails to give his absolute best for his children. A beautiful Mum who always puts her childrens' interests in front of hers. Siblings who love me like no other although I'm real pain in the bum.

And then there's my beloved God Daughter. She's smart (papi's side), gorgeous (mami's side), and obedient (godma's side?)! I miss her so much I still remember how she smells…

I've a super cool cousin too. We hid in Mandarin Hotel's cupboards, bought tonnes of Top of the Pop magazines, played 'pattern ball', and theres the one thing we have in common - we LOVE Japanese food!

I don’t think I need to mention any names (I'm sure she knows who she is!). We've been good friends for more than a decade. We studied at Holland V together, saw shooting stars on the top deck of PV's carpark, and backed each other up when we sober over silly secondary school crushes.. We even carried the same bag to school just that hers was red and mine was blue.

This entry would be incomplete without mentioning the two most important males in Perth - my beloved Bf and our son Iggy. Iggy may be getting old but trust me, he has never been so sharp and agile! A bit like Benjamin Button. Just a couple of days ago, he was frantically hopping around D's feet! This is exactly how rabbits show their affection - twirling around people's feet! D and I couldn’t believe our eyes… Three of us are like a unit. As tight as.

Hey need I say more? I am proud to be alive, be loved, and be pampered by the loveliest people in the world!

Sorry for the lack of updates!

Been trying my hardest to sit still and blog. Unfortunately time and time again I sidetrack. I end up you-tubing, face-booking, or reading people's blogs instead of updating my own.

Apart from my baking adventures, life is its same old. Nothing out of the ordinary. Work has its bouts of busy periods but I like it. Busy is good cos time passes quicker. Well, seemingly.

The pesticide guy came to our house for inspection on Friday. The house gets a yearly inspection for any signs of roaches, spiders, and other creepy crawlies. After the inspection, the guy revealed that there were just a few spider webs in the roof. No nests or any sorta major crap to be alarmed of. Thank goodness...

Anyways, on to some shots of my baking adventure. I baked your everyday Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies...


Ingredients....

Cookies in all shapes and sizes

Ready to be shipped to work! Now for the "fun" part. WASHING UP!

Scrubba dubdub... busy scrubbing all the dirt and grime!

Dont worry dear, my hands are clean :)

Parcel from Singapore!

Most people know how excited I get when someone mentions about DARK chocolates... Its almost like an addiction. I have to have at least one a day orelse my brain wont work. Literally.

Anyway I finished 2 huge boxes in two months. I also finished 4 packets of plums.


Heres the thing, I cant get these brands in Australia (Perth for that matter). I was desperate... so I emailed my bro and Mum to mail some over.

This is what I received in the mail today!


Thank you W for the dark chocolates and Maa for the preserved ginger and plums. Thanks for taking time off to buy and mail these off to me... I will treasure every bite. Shiok!!!
