Still in one piece

Before X'mas, there were rumours that it would be end of the world on 21122012.  I don't have anything against this belief because it could be the end for everyone any day... that's the way life is... So, instead of worrying something which is beyond my control, I might as well cherish every moment and enjoy life ... like eating pinkish snow balls (glutinous rice balls)! Y(^.^)Y

My Winter Solstice meal made by mum ~ YUMMY

It was Winter Solstice festival （冬至） on 21122012. Mum made snow balls in chicken ginger soup for us to eat.  When small, we always helped to make snow balls.. I know snow balls should be round, after all, they are called snow BALLS .... But  being creative is what kids do best so instead, we made square ones, heart-shaped ones, animal-shaped, snowmen, gingerbread men, alphabet-shaped etc.. it was so hilarious to look at a pot of all-kind-of-shapes snow "balls". At the dining table, we would try to identify the masterpiece's creator! haha.. Our masterpiece  sometimes turned out to be a disaster too... like when we were trying to make 'hot dogs' and instead it looked like big fat worms floating in the soup... well, i guess before there is success, we all have to go through some sort of failures to perfect ourselves.... 

So, end of the world did not happen.... Some people complained and asked why it did not happen as promised. Hmmm... what's all that about? The world has become strange. Isn't it good that it didn't happen? I don't know about you but I certainly feel grateful that the world is still in one piece. I feel fortunate that I can still smell the fresh air, stare at the moving clouds, feel the sunshine, be with my loved ones.... the list is endless! What's more, i get to open my X'mas present! yayeeee.... 

I've been a good girl this year, again (what's new? :P) Guess what I received this X'mas? 

I received a nice lunchbox set from Santa Claus... Oppps, guess my love for food must be very strong... So strong that even the far far away Father Xmas knows it! *blush*  I love the bright colours ... even the lunch bag is cute... and it looks so good on me, as if it was made just for me! :P From now on, every bite of food from my lunchbox is gonna be a bite of happiness!! 

My gift from Santa!

Life is good.... Life is the way you want it to be.... 

It's Xmas soon!

Like last year, we arranged a little gift exchange session in our office.. Guess what? The gift opening session is this Friday! Ooooo... I can't wait...! Not only I wanna see what i get from Santa Claus (I have been a very very good girl this year), I also wanna see the happy faces of my colleagues when they open their gifts from their secret angels \(^V^)/

Some people say they don't mind what presents they get because it's the heart that counts. True but I believe it would be more meaningful if the person receives something he/she really likes. That's why, as soon as i got the name of my 'Little Angel", who i will be buying Xmas gift for, I started my mission to find out what she likes... hehe,  I am like a spy.. testing her thoughts about the gifts i intending to get.... 

U know what? i think i have found a perfect gift....  It's all the way from Taiwan and Limited edition!

Beauty Masks 

Nicely wrapped by me!

We have decorated our Xmas tree... with colouful xmas ornaments and of course, Xmas Presents!! I can feel Xmas already! Fa la la la la la.... 

Guess which one is mine?

Stay tuned to find out what i get from Santa!  *can't wait!!*

Big Big Butterfly

Many people regard today as a special day. Simply because it's 12.12.12. 

Although I don't see today any different from any other day, I still wanna drop a few lines here just to 'record' the "special day" *kiasu*

Saw a very BIG butterfly at my office building. It's really really big! like bigger than my face! If you know me, u will know how big my face is... T__T 

The butterfly is really beautiful... it kinda looks like a kite...  and you could see the patterns on its wings.. NICEeee....

The things mum do for us

While cleaning one of the cupboards in the house, i found a dress mum made for Little Jane and Jenn, when we were 4 or 5. It looks really teeny weeny! With my king kong size now, it is kinda difficult for me to imagine that i was once so tiny! haha.... Hmmm... what did my parents feed me when I was small? :P

We have an old-fashioned sewing machine at home. U know, the one that has wooden frame and to get the needle moving, u  need to paddle and paddle and paddle ... Yup, that antique belongs to my mum. She used it a lot when we were small to make us dresses.  We would stand in front of her with our hands stretch out while mum measured us here and there so she could make us dresses that fit perfectly.  Apart from that, she also made bedsheets, pillow cases, cushion covers, table cloth, quilt cover etc ... 

Mum is really talented. Not only is she outstanding in cooking but can also sew well. you know what? I think i have inherited her talents because I could sew and cook too (yeah, even I can't believe this! Good thing I captured these unbelievable happenings as proves.. Pls see DIY) ahahaha... just that am still at the kindergarten level :S 

I remember that mum made me a dress to wear to a piano examination. It was light blue (my favourite!) in colour and has a blue ribbon at the neckline. It was really pretty...  And because it was full of mum's love, i looked really pretty in that dress ( although my natural beauty is 50% of the reason why it looked so pretty :P *厚脸皮* ) 

Now that we have grown up, mum stops making us dresses... Instead she buys for us... it's her way to show her love... of course, her love has brought some tragedies too like, 2 months ago, she actually exchanged my newly purchased DREAM clothes for something else because she thought I didn't want them T___T Okie i should let the past be buried and not mention about it anymore haha.... 

Lately, mum is into something I would never buy... 

Polka dots blouse + matching bag! 

   

I have always felt that polka dots isn't for me. Ha, don't ask me why, it's just not my thing.... Surprisingly, they don't look awkward on me at all! wow, mum actually changes the way I think about polka dots! :P

Guess i will always be the little girl in my mum's eyes... she even made me a cute bedsheet this CNY. Hmmm.. I wonder what I will get from mum next CNY... i wish for a pyjamas with cute prints!

I will let you know once i receive anything from mum ya!
