Online Shopping And My Current Craze.
It's finally Friday! TGIF! In between crazy work hours and mad weather recently, i've been doing some online shopping. Some of my favourite items to buy via the internet are dresses, bags, books and scrapbooking products :) I've always been a big fan of online shopping - firstly because i hate crowds, and secondly (and more importantly) i love the anticipation and excitement that comes with the wait for my purchases to arrive in the mail!
In recent weeks, i've been browsing a few online sites, sourcing for a new work bag and wallet to replace the 'lao-kok-kok' ones that i've been using since light-years ago. I know i want a white bag, or at least one that is not boring-black, and i'm really not a fan of monograms, so i would like a plain wallet this time. I also need classic designs that will last me at least two to three years because i don't relish the idea of splurging on a new bag or wallet every few months. Most importantly, brands like Gucci and Coach are seriously a little out of my range (and league!)
So anyway...i narrowed my choices down to two sites...this and this. And gosh, the Kate Spade designs took my breath away! So pretty, so girly, SO GORGEOUS!
Check out the new bags...
And the wallets and cases...

I'm 101% converted! In fact, i placed an order from their site last night using vPost's shipping service (since Kate Spade doesn't ship internationally). I was so excited all day, until i logged on to Hotmail and found this in my mailbox...
What disappoints me more than not being able to get the item i ordered was the fact that they didn't even bother to explain why my order could not be processed. Now i'm sad :(
Anyhow, i've emailed them to try to get things sorted out, hopefully i do get my purchase eventually...anyone here with similar encounters? Please share your experience with me!
On a different topic, i've actually uploaded all the photos of my Chiang Mai trip to a draft blog post last Saturday - over a hundred of them! I'm about halfway through the post, and i will get it up, i promise! Somehow, recently, i've been busting all deadlines except the ones to do with work...at the end of each work day, i'm really only running on 10% residual energy :( Friday nights and Saturdays are all i live for right now! (Amongst many other things of course, hehe!) Enjoy your weekend!

My Baby Turns Four Today!
This year, we celebrated with a weekend stay at The Regent :) Because i had to work late on Friday, i missed the check-in part of the stay, but according to my mum, Fluffie definitely recognised that we had stayed at the hotel before, and was extremely excited once she arrived.
This getaway was really meant to be a way for me to unwind and simply focus all my attention on Fluffie, so this time i took very few pictures. Nonetheless, we still managed to capture some Fluffie-moments!
This is her in the day...guarding an apple; rolling over for tummy-rubs; sulking over the newspapers when it rained all Saturday morning; engaging in some self-entertainment with the complimentary toy ball from the hotel!
Both nights, the mischievous little darling...hid under the bed, waiting for me to get her out; lazed about with her favourite bunny toy; fell fast asleep on selected spots of the king-sized bed!
Fluffie is very loved!
Before we knew it, (like most weekends) our vacation was over! I often wish that moments like these wouldn't pass so quickly; that Fluffie wouldn't grow so fast; that i would have more time with her - to sit with her, play with her and walk with her.
Unlike children and adults, the phases of growth that puppies and dogs go through are not as obvious. I often get people asking if Fluffie is still a puppy, and i find myself wishing that she was. I dread the fact that she is growing up so quickly, and hate to think that i would have to say goodbye to her one day.
I hope Fluffie knows how much we all love her, and how much she means to us, because truly, SHE MEANS THE WORLD TO ME! My life is so much more beautiful because of her :)
Happy Birthday, My Baby!

I'm Back! And Last Two Weeks Of March...
Chiang Mai was fun, and i'm relieved i got home before the Thailand government declared a state of emergency on Bangkok and the surrounding areas. I didn't manage to blog about my trip daily when i was there, mostly because any time i had on the internet was spent on video-chats with my sister and Fluffie :) But i do have the pictures up on Facebook! And i will blog about my trip in the next two weeks, i promise!
Before i left for Chiang Mai, i mentioned that i had some updates for March, and here they are! The last two weeks of March were rather eventful ones for me...
Firstly, i celebrated my 28th birthday :)
I received loads of well-wishes from many people i love, including my family and friends, and my sister and cousin bought me a cake each! I felt so blessed :)
Secondly, it is no secret that civil servants and public officers in Singapore receive their performance bonuses in March every year, and this year, i was looking forward to mine, because it was to be my very first full bonus from SLA! I received my notification letter from my Director the day after my birthday, and was pleasantly surprised to find that i had been promoted :) It feels great to know that my efforts are being appreciated!
Thirdly, the Saturday after i received my PB, my sister and i went to town! It's been some time since we'd gone out together, just the two of us :) And we bought ourselves some P.Osh brownies from Dhoby Ghaut Exchange! YUMMY-LICIOUS!
And on Sunday, we packed our bags for an outing to Marina Barrage! I managed to snap some shots while the rest of them were busy flying kites (literally!)
After the kite-flying, i gave everyone a dinner treat before we came home to get ready for the start of a brand new week :)
Then, on Monday, the 29th, i gave myself a little treat as well! Tada!
Got my EF50mm portrait lens :) It works great on Fluffie!
And that's all i have for March :) Be back again soon!
