FOR THE URBAN URCHIN

Dear Urchin,
As promised, these are a few of my newfound properties. The first is this mismatched pair of camper twins, fraternal as you can tell, perfect for the strolls to and from car park and office. this is my second pair of camper "twns" (that's what's sewn inside my shoes, some PR/marketing firm must have earned millions from this utterly brilliant idea of removing the "i" from "twins".... =P) and 3rd pair of camper shoes. absolutely dig the simple designs, and the soft soft soft leather and they just last and last. my pair of red "mcdonald" rain shoes and black "edward scissorhands" have been with me since 2002?! other than the soles wearing out from the amount of walking i've done for the last 7 years, the shoes are practically intact. I've decided to christen this 3rd pair my "rubber band" shoes.

There's no point controlling yourself at Gilroy.
That said, i really did go a little crazy at the Coach outlet, but they are not all for myself - these 3 are gifts for mum jo, steph and mum-in-law. [steph, if you're reading this, yours is the red bag. let me know if you like the brown ones better. i'm considering sending you the bag for christmas cos i obviously won't be able to see you in january. still got space in your luggage?]
AND....HOLD YOUR BREATH!
THE REST ARE ALL MINE!!!
HAR HAR HAR
I paid for the silver and brown bags first, realised how freaking cheap everything was at the till (cos they took a further 30-40% off at the cashier!!) and quickly scoured for the 3rd hot pink bag. (the prices were low enough for me to buy 6 bags lor, and i'm not even a coach fan! Next post, i'll take some pictures of the clothes etc.. stay tuned.

The urchin is LOVING the updates! Though probably not as much as you are loving the bags I bet. ;) - Jo

Back To Reality

It's over! We're finally married (in the eyes of the Church!). It was really pretty fun last sat, thank God for the sunny weather (a bit hot lah, but at least it didn't rain till after), for the wonderful guests and my fantastic friends. hope it wasn't too uncomfortable under the sun for everyone.

Back Safe and Sound

This is my first post since we left Bermuda for Singapore more than 3 weeks ago. We are battling serious jet lag this time. it might be the age-factor (yikes!) or because we didn't rest properly on the flights (yes plural!) back cos we were busy trying to exhaust all the new movies on krisworld, or maybe a combination of both lah. but both of us have been trying very hard to keep awake at 3pm. yes, the sleep monster strikes at that hour! thank God we are going to remove time saving tonight, so we have 1 less hour to correct this weekend. talking about movies, twilight was amazingly easy on the eye! although i hesitate to call ourselves twilight converts given that i was highly skeptical at first. but the eye candy in the form of Rob Pattersin/Edward Cullen is really irresistible (did you know Rob Pattersin was Cedric in Harry Potter??) .... argh. i wanna get bitten by this vamp too lor! BITE ME! Hao-e even bought New Moon (the sequal) to read this weekend and i spent almost ...

IT JUST DOESN'T FEEL LIKE CHINESE NEW YEAR!

As I learn about everyone's plans to welcome the Golden Tiger Year, the more unhappy I become.  Although it was a conscious effort on our part to avoid being home for the Lunar New Year, I cannot help but feel left out during this all-important holiday. On this island, we have all but 1 so-called Chinese restaurant.  Every year, they would put up the red banner a few weeks before CNY. One red banner compared to the numerous ones back home.  How pathetic eh? There is no atmosphere whatsoever. With the "influx" of Chinese kids, 4 in total plus 1 soon-to-be-born, I made myself pack some red envelopes from home, so that the kids can experience a little of the festivities that I am so used to.   WHAT IS CHINESE NEW YEAR WITHOUT THE RED PACKETS? This year, we've upgraded our celebration to include mahjong!  yes, the mahjong set and table arrived last weekend.  hao-e couldn't stop himself from ripping the plastic cover off those ivory -coloured tiles and we ...
