Catching up!

Finally downloaded the hundreds of photos over the past few months from the camera. Here are some of them...

Char & J's pink & chocolate wedding - it was so much fun making all the decor! I got to be bridezilla all over again (albeit vicariously)... hee hee… Who’s getting married next? Indulge me!!

My Birthday! - which we celebrated on the 16th instead... Mummy made red eggs and had them delivered together with a yummelicious dinner. Hubs was really sweetums – he made a huge brekkie for the both of us before we headed out for some furniture shopping at the new Marina Square.

Christmas Candlelight Service - Arise, Shine!

- and that's XJ's handprint from when he was 14! :)


We got a half-day off on the Friday before New Years, and thought we’d try out Brussel Sprouts – this new place just round the corner, which served up pretty decent moules-frites, and Belgian beer. Of course, we couldn’t resist the very sinful but very delicious caramelized pork belly… *drool*

Update: Just realised from Sunday's papers that Brussel Sprouts is actually another one of Emmanuel Stroobandt's babies! Mmm.. wonder if they serve up foie gras too?

It's Christmas! and i'm inspired...

Don’t think I’ll be having a very Christmassy Christmas this year, what with all the work that’s coming my way – the long weekend looks burnt – BUT that’s no reason for not dressing up the home, right? :)

Am in the process of “making” a wreath too. Didn’t very much like the prickly ones that the artificial Christmas trees are made of, so I picked a plain deep-green leafy bough mounted on dried twigs – love the forest-chocolate colour contrast, and will be adding on some of my own berries, acorns and red poinsettia (unfortunately all artificial though…) to complete it.

DH didn’t want a Christmas tree this year (time and space constraints), so I’m settling for 3 antique-bronze finished candle stands in the corner, adorned with festive holly and berries and a silver platter of natural-finish and gilded acorns!
