Breakfast

Both passenger lifts broke down this morning, and I was nearly stuck in one. Both cargo lifts moving too slowly with those unloading hurling insults at the people trying to get to work. Nobody’s in a good mood, everyone’s trying to get to work!

Me too, but I am more flexible, at least I am my own boss. It was a pain getting up to the top floor to put my stuff down, and a pain to get down to the canteen for my breakfast. Such thoughts already put me off, but the lure of breakfast is too strong… I succumbed to it.

Now I’m sitting here in the canteen wondering if the lifts are fixed, enjoying my Teh-Si and already finished Egg Prata.

Feeling rather lazy today from the late night of being out for a fundraising dinner, I hope my breakfast will give me some calories energy to work.

Ok. Time to stop being lazy and get back to office to face my emails!

Such is my daily life.

It was a Happy B-V-V Day!

Each year, a little more people find out the reason behind my name…

Yes it my Birthday yesterday, it was my Happy Birthday-Valentines-Valerie Day!

As a demanding wife, I ask for nothing less than 2 presents (or surprises)! It was slightly different this year. I had a mind full of work (just thinking about backlogs), nothing on my WANT list, and a slight reluctance to be away from replying my emails.

Nevertheless, the wonderful, perfect-for-me husband had a day full of plans, surprises and nothing more that I can ask for.

But before I start on the day, we had half a day of photoshoot and headed out for what he called the Pre V Day dinner 2 nights ago. We shared a steak and my favourite Lobster Bisque!

We slept as early as we could, then we slept in for as long as we can before heading out for Breakfast on V day morning! We wanted Ya Kun, went all the way to Bedok Point to discover it was Killiney. Still, it didn’t dampen our spirits!

Next, he insisted on heading to town (because he had no time to plan for a surprise present). He had certain presents in mind, but again was afraid I might not like them, so as practical as we are, I chose my own present. I like to still give him the choice of what to buy, so I usually pick out 3 things I like and let him make the last decision of what to get for me. At least in this way, it will never go wrong!

I loved his choice! Great choice darling (though I still feel it’s a little extravagant, he refused to go for the other cheaper options)!

Then we took a bus and headed towards the CBD. His lips were SEALED TIGHT on where we were going and just kept saying we are going to a cafe for tea.

Tim, THE COURTYARD is NOT a cafe! I was astounded by the price of the high tea (because I feel it’s going to be waste since I won’t be able to eat enough to match the price we are paying) but am really touched by his effort to surprise and spoil me.

Then again, it will probably the only opportunity I have to enjoy such a lovely high tea and never come back again (I prefer heavy food like Spaghetti), plus the fact that my lovely husband put in so much thought to this… So… We did the Afternoon Tea.

The sandwiches and desserts were lovely, with a Valentine’s Day Theme and lots of hearts!

Trying to eat as much as I could, I ate the sandwiches without the bread and left behind as much carbs as I could! After which, we headed for the movie LOVE which turned out surprisingly good and sweet with proper closure and ending.

It was a good day. A memorable one, one that took me away from work, even for a while.

I enjoyed it very much and I Love You too my dear hubby, Timothy!

When I was away…

I worked, I ate, I shopped, I pampered myself, I worked more and I ate more.

Though it was a short 4 day work trip, it was a good break from SG (except for the horrendous backlog that awaits me now).

I shall let the pictures speak on my behalf!

Yes! That’s it!

I hope everyone had a great Valentine’s Day and thanks for your wonderful birthday wishes! More to come on how I celebrated my birthday!

CNY 2012

It was a good break for me this Chinese New Year. A short time to be away from work, since everyone is busy visiting. Even though it was only a short 2 days, everyone started preparing since Friday!

I cleaned up the office, packed my clothes in my room and prepared for CNY!

Reunion Dinner was something I looked forward to! Great company and food at Tim’s place, we all dressed casually and had a really good time eating, talking and playing Cranium!

CNY Day 1! After visiting Grandma, we headed to Uncle’s place where everyone gathers for the afternoon! Ah, this makes visiting so much easier since everyone just meets at 1 place!

CNY Day 2! We slept in, had a home cooked breakfast and headed to Tim’s Nanny’s place. Planned to have some Nepalese food at Gurkha Palace but it was booked out so we went Everest Kitchen (2 shops down) instead. Not too bad. Think I ate too much though.

Despite all the food, I still insisted on getting Starbucks simply because I didn’t want to go home.

There is no escaping from work, so I was back in office Wed morning, packing, mailing, replying emails, clearing backlog from the holidays. I tried my best to finish earlier and decided to go on a fun “outing” with Tim!

Managed to reach ECP around 6pm and we rented a Tandem Bike where Tim did most of the work cycling me all the way to Changi Coastal Road and back. I just sat behind and rarely cycled at all, calling it “Training” for Tim.

It was a good week so far, (apart from stupid mosquitoes buzzing around my ear the whole of last night and biting my face), and I hope it stays this way!

Have a blessed week ahead! It’s almost the weekend again, YAY!

P.S. Photos were put together using an iPhone app called Frame Maker HD!

Hello 2012!

It’s true, I’m really bad at blogging consistently. Doesn’t help when I really cannot find time.

Nevertheless, it is now 2012, gosh, how time flies!

Looking back, I can clearly see how God has really blessed me in many aspects of my life. Be it my health, or work (new office yay!), or spiritual growth, He has surely shown me much mercy and grace.

As I step into 2012 (and feel older immediately), I look forward to a bright future, and a closer relationship with God, Tim and my family.

Keeping this short and sweet, I’m just gonna end it off with a couple of outfits that I remembered to take a picture of!

Today at work: MLB’s Classy Sleeved Blouse in Coral with a Zara Plaid Mini

Another day to dinner: MLB’s Ribbon Tutu Dress

On the way to 2011 Christmas Eve Service – MLB’s Cascading One Shoulder Dress in Black (still one of my favourite pieces now)

That’s it! Till then…

New colours!

Our MLB convertible maxi dress was so well received, it didn’t make sense if I didn’t make more colours for it!
It was previously available in Vermillion, Black and Brown and I’m proud to say that MLB was one of the first (I think we are the first but never too sure) to introduce the Convertible Dress in maxi length in Singapore!

You can get yourself a piece at only a whopping $35 (so cheap right?)!

Now what new colours you may ask?
I just laid my hands on them today and I am so excited I had to share it with all of you!

First off, I can’t stop myself from wearing the Wine Red piece the moment it reached me! It’s so classy an gorgeous, almost like maroon. And for brighter tones, we will also have it in Turquoise (greenish)! Seems like Christmas colours huh? It was plain coincidental so much to look forward to on MLB… But I need to schedule a photoshoot first :p

Till then, have a good weekend!!!

Instant Pleasure

It was raining cats and dogs outside the office today and I was too reluctant to get wet for food so i succumbed to instant food.

Now who says instant food (be it soup, mash potatoes or noodles) can’t be good? I particularly love this pokka potato soup that i got from Liang Court! Yummy!

Settled my lunch with instant soup and a couple of cookies. Hope that will hold the fort for a while!
