Store I love...

If I ever visit Malaysia one day (ow, come on, it's only 2 hours from your place, get going now!) this store is on top of my visit list. Take a peek..



The measuring tape skirt is officially driving me crazy! Visit the online blog here!
on the lighter note, if you're in the mood for something free heads up to hartje&bloem for a lovely bag she has sewn.

Happy (Belated) Birthday!

Meet Matryoshka Bag

I just purchased a new bag for, mmm, how long? 3 years maybe? My old one is already giving up on its term (thank you!!), and I bought this messenger one to replace it.

To make this month really bag worthy I won a vintage bag down at muchlove from revolving styles. Now I have two bags! :D

Chinese New Year Packet

This the time of the year for greedy little children. To those of you celebrating Chinese New Year every year, you know what I mean, for those who don't, there's always time for a little trivia. Each year, instead of getting colorful wrapped up presents like Christmas, all Chinese kids get the "raw thing" tucked safely inside a red packet. To make things even smoother for the kids, they can rob not just Santa (a.k.a their parents) but also every living adults related to them in any ways, nice, eh? And don't worry if you're hitting 18 this year, you're still getting the red packet until you are married, yes even when you're 40.

So, why don't you enjoy one nice little packet download and share nice things around. Yes, when you're not celebrating, you can fill it with anything and give it to someone nice you know. It also looks good for the upcoming Valentine's day (massage coupons, anyone?)

Anyway, it's the year of the tiger. :)

Pants for Parents

I was thinking of how cute the idea of this (which I found via swissmiss), when I suddenly think of this possibility.


With Baby G's fondness of things, I change my mind about the pants. *shudder*

I want to be a Korean

For craving about these at the moment..

Buy them?

I've been up to..

..playing with Baby G's toys and photographed them. Silly hobby.

I'm sorry for my sudden on and off blogging status, I can''t imagine a mother of 3 active toddlers still manage to blog daily and keep the house clean, I can't even barely rest my feet chasing up with G. I will find my new blogging schedule.

Please shine down on me!

I'm thrilled to recieve an award passed on to me by Jo, maybe because I never knew I fit into the award's description of "bloggers whose positivity and creativity inspires others in the blogworld." What a big shoe to fill in! There's one big responsibility there, sister! I never think that my blog or even myself could do that!

Anyhoo, a blog award wouldn't be complete without paying it forward to 12 lovely bloggers, which I'm doing it now and so will these blog lady too..
holly, xashee, jessica, christy, becca, ollie, tuppence, rheea, evita, sabila, belen, rita.

Congrats! And feel the burden to chanell lots and lots of positivity and creativity! HA!
Kidding, have a sunny day, to all of you!

My Vintage Christmas

I have been up and down with the joy of decorating for Christmas lately, did I mention that this is my favorite time of the year? I have been living with my husband for 4 years now, moving into the house, being pregnant, and having a baby for the first 3 and half years, we didn't have time to "intentionally" decorating for Christmas (quickly cut paper snowflakes were always present, and there were always Christmas card garlands..). We never set up a tree before, and I just think we didn't have one, so I suggested why don't we buy one with the decorations. My husband said he actually has one buried somewhere deep inside the boxes we never touched since we moved in. He took the tree out along with the decorations. I never thought that it was a very beautiful vintage ornaments from the 70's! Where did he get those? My husband share a very different aesthetics than me, I thought his Christmas ornaments would filled with glassy crystal and white classics balls.. Well, I'm overjoyed with these quirky ornaments.. take a look...

Fruits on Christmas tree? Why not? did you notice the orange with eyes and a nose?

Is the hole on the leaf originally there or is it because it was made before I was born?


..and this happy fella, what should he be? A catterpillar?


..aaaw he transformed into a happy butterfly!!


..and finally, old St. Nick never looked this ..er..charmed before..


What's your Christmas style this year?
