Guess what I may be buying

Weeny shopping cart
I read on facebook ( which is where you can be assured of the latest gossip both near home and across the seas) that the ipad has INDEED arrive in Malaysia. *wooHOO* Now the next great decision is, whether I want the gadget because everybody else seems to want it too, or because I really really like it. RUmour is I may be getting one under the christmas tree but having been duped last year with the promise of an iphone and finding instead a handbag, lip palate and shower gel...I 'm wiser this time around.

What I've learnt this evening

Picture taken from iheartkoreanbeauty
Bought this mask in Seoul a few months back. Not all of them. Just the rice water mask. Was attracted to the name. ( yes shallow of me I admit). This evening, I decided to live dangerously and put the rice water mask on. And then I proceeded to google the benefits. What did I find?
1. It can lighten your skin. ( I wanted it to dry the gawd-awful pimple on my chin actually)
2. You can make it yourself...and here are sites teaching you in detail.

So I'm hoping the disgusting looking pimple all pustule-like would be lighter in colour. And hopefully smaller. Folks stared at it a lot today. Most annoying.

To Whom It May Concern

My secret wish that all complain letters come in as interesting a package as the one in this picture. Today has been a busy day. The irony is I got home by 6pm despite the rain. I guess the motto " don't think just DO" works well. Thinking and trying to plan your day takes up time. Best to just get off the chair and do some stuff:)

Things I found interesting at KOpi Bean:)

Red Velvet Coffee Bean Version

Nice for breakfast

Nice and simple Christmas Mug
Pictures taken at Coffee Bean. The only one of the above I wouldn't try is the red velvet cupcakes, having tried their red velvet cake before, I am almost certain it will be sweet and yucky.

Let's Go Shopping

Unfortunately today will be a "rest" day. No money will be spent ....

This picture is for WNN who sadly does not read this blog. I love the composition and (yes yes ) the clarity. Photography classes for 2011.

A little bit of therapy

Pedicure ...Balinese style. ( picture of feet in Bali....rest of the body came along as well you know)

testing the steadiness of my hands...with a few shots this evening

Christmas Mug from Starbucks

Sushi at our "now" favourite Japanese restaurant

Macro mode come alive. Check out the little weeny orange bits.
It was a restful Saturday for now. Absolutely refused to shower until late in the afternoon. Choosing instead to potter about the place and just enjoy the fact that I can indeed ( if I choose) do NOTHING intellectually stimulating the entire morning and not have to feel bad about it.  As a matter of fact, despite all efforts of having a brainless morning, I slipped some reading in between an intense violin practise session. Feel mighty smug about that as well. It's nice to be productive. And what's more important, it's very nice to feel rested. 

Current obsession : getting the music score ( without paying of course ) of the songs from "boys over flower". Wish me luck!!!

It's not fashion it's passion

A very interesting dress. Sadly it won't be seen on my body anytime soon. In order to look good in this, you would have to have a body resembling that hanger you see it hanging from.

A spot of christmas shopping

Christmas presents with a VERY sorry looking plant 

Merry Christmas....

A lovely little something...nicely gift-wrapped
Some of the pictures taken during a quick stop-over at Midvalley this evening. Nothing much to write about except that it rained terribly the whole morning which made the brain sluggish.

Black Coffee No Sugar Please Oh And A Little Bit Of Milk

I had a bloody terrible morning. By terrible I mean one of those days where you are slow and everything seems to take longer. And it would be just the time you'd meet a selection of crabby people who insist on trying your patience. I wasn't very nice this morning. Just so you know, most folks were nice to me despite my crabbiness:) People are NICE

We will be away from work tomorrow. Attending an OBA workshop. Don't flap it's not the OBE the queen gives our during her birthday celebration. OBA stands for one best answer ( should be OBBA one bloody best answer) which will hopefully replace the format for the subsequent exams to come. More work for us:)

Belated Birthday Dinner celeb

Mummy...updating self re William and Kate

After the joint birthday celebration last weekend, we decided to have a nice dinner ( with peking duck) this Sunday. Mum wastes no time in catching up on the latest goss before dinner. The father attempted to read the only reading material available the aussie "New Idea". He lasted 1 minute before the magazine was chucked to one side and he decided to stare around him aimlessly instead.
