I got this little 3D crystal puzzle as a Christmas gift last year.. had some time to spare this morning so decided to play with it while eating my strawberry cake for breakfast..
It wasn't as easy as i thought. I ended up spending 30 minutes trying to fix the damn thing.. nearly wanted to give up halfway trying to fix the 14 pieces together. A very very interesting toy i must say!!
The end product is a 3D red crystal apple key chain / handphone accessory. It was too big for my handphone so now it's hanging on the zipper of my shoe bag..
When K came back, i showed him my achievement.. was half tempted to tear it apart and let K have a go at fixing it, but decided not to waste time.. better start with my spring cleaning!
So far, over the past 2 days, i have tidied and cleaned up my kitchen, shoe cabinet and bedroom wardrobe. Will be starting soon on my store room - the biggest nightmare of every spring cleaner!

I was doing spring cleaning and watching TV yesterday afternoon when i saw Kirby on Channel Newsasia. He was being interviewed together with Chris Garver on the tattoo show in Singapore.
I thought it was pretty interesting listening to the 2 news presenters asking questions on tattoos, like whether it was painful, whether it can be removed etc etc.. Apparently, the longest Chris has ever done a tattoo on someone else was 12 hours. Amazing!! Even if the person being tattooed can tahan, i wonder how Chris can tahan?
Kirby was perspiring like crazy after he did my / and K's tattoos, which were only for 3-4 hours each!
Still feel very proud of Kirby.. at least he is doing something for his passion, spreading the tattoo art around the world.. plus the fact that he did my tattoo!! heheheh...
Thinking of adding some color to my current one.. hmmm..

I got 2 nice presents from my colleagues last week.. One was a nice bookmark of a Japanese woman in Kimono. My colleague had just came back from his honeymoon in Japan and had bought these nice bookmarks for all of us.. Sometimes i feel that it's so troublesome to have to buy things back for the office every time i go overseas.. Although it's nice if i am the recipient of the presents! Usually, for me, i just do last minute shopping at the airport and use up my left over currency. To me, it's like a major obligation. It's like since everyone in the office knows I go overseas, i have to buy something back. So now, i don't. I can't be bothered. I will just buy some nice gifts for people whom i am close to in the office, my close friends, and that's it. Gifts that i put in some thought into, and not some last minute shopping at the airport. I don't care what people at the office says lah.. most of the time, the tidbits i buy back from overseas just rot at the pantry nobody eat.
There are times also when i just don't tell anyone in the office i am going overseas.. They are all so busy they probably won't notice that i am not in the office for a few days!
Anyway, the other present arrived on Thursday. I arrived in the office, no mood to work as usual, when i saw this huge box on my table with a huge FEDEX sticker pasted on it. It was a most pleasant surprise. Like a child, i eagerly opened the box and in it was a nice little glass ball Christmas decoration from my colleague in US. She did mentioned she bought something for me for Christmas but kept forgetting to mail it out. Supposed to hang it on my Christmas tree, but i had already tore down all my decorations the night before so will keep it for next year!
:) it's always nice to receive presents.. i wonder when i will get the BIG one..

The world is full of coincidences. On Monday, i received a message on Facebook from my wedding photographer. He is now working in my company as an intern. We found each other on the company's mailing list and chatted online. What a small world.
This morning, i heard on Class 95 that there is a Singapore Tattoo Show 2009 going on this weekend at the Singapore Expo. The 2 deejays had invited Chris Garver, the celebrity tatto artist from the show "Miami Ink" over to the radio station for an interview. Apparently, Chris will be at the show as well.
It was during this brief introduction of the tattoo show that i realized Kirby Lian, my tattoo artist, was the organizer for the show! I feel so proud.. = )
So naturally, being the auntie that i am, i contacted my good friend (who's Kirby's good friend), and asked if she had free tickets to the show.. She did, but unfortunately, she rejected Kirby, and now it's too late to get the tickets from Kirby cause the show starts tomorrow and he is already super busy now..
Anyway, i don't think i would pay $18 for the entrance fee just to go inside and see folks getting themselves inked.. hee hee.. cheapskate i know..

I need a new wallet! The clasp on the BB one i have now came off so now i cannot close my wallet. With all the bulk inside (not money, mostly rubbish), now my wallet keeps opening by itself..
Went online shopping just now, and spotted a few wallets that i like.

All these are really expensive though, so not sure if i should get them. I went to Tangs to shop around during lunch just now, and saw this Guy Laroche white wallet and key pouch set going for SDG 119. Maybe i will just get that one.. Sigh, need to save up for rainy days to buy umbrellas given the severe recession in Singapore now.. = (

I had a strange dream yesterday night.. I dreamt of my 1.5 year old niece, and in my dream, she's a baby genius!
I told my sister about my dream, and she said that i may be pregnant. Apparently, the old wives believe that if a married woman dreams of a baby or children, she will get pregnant soon!
