stock in at mwl. in the midst of the mayhem i managed to snap these two pics. haha.
went for a crystal watch making woskshop with my aunt. (: made that.
mom bought sherwin easter eggs! we opened the wonka egg. i think sherwin looks really good in these pictures. i think we were half hoping for golden tickets to pop out of the egg. :D
good friday dinner at manhattan fish market. we ate the platter for 2 again (with flamed prawns). its excellent. i especially love the garlic rice and prawns.
gherkins!
teatree!
andrew and i were walking back when we passed by my neighbours backyard and saw SEVEN chickens in it. yepp. 7! haha. wow. lots of eggs for them i suppose. there was a certain modern kampong vibe...
campaign at takashimaya. at first mel and i thought it was greenpeace or global warming or something to that effect. but it was actually an anti-smoking campaign. or a campaign that helps smokers (in particular ladies) quit smoking. the words are made up of loads and loads of gerberas! and they were giving gerberas out to publicise as well.
i got a red gerbera. sitting pretty at my desk now. (:
was studying the past few days...well part of the time, when i wans't distracted by scrapping...or beading...or baking. but anyhow! school's done, exams are over, so shall be able to update more now. cant wait to bead. loads of new ideas swimming around in my head. need to pin them down. anyhow, pictures from the past week or so...
donuts we bought for annette, althea and astrid before going for disney on ice.
snapshots from disney on ice. there are loads more, but these are the ones that show the highlights. there was lion king, 101 dalmations, peter pan, little mermaid, lilo and stich. click to see a bigger picture!
he's like the handy man! he goes round selling candy floss, and various disney on ice paraphernalia..jpg)
group picture! (:
a notebook i did for aunty bear bear for her wedding anniversary. i was her flowergirl years ago! (spot the little gold bear charms amongst the ribbon?)
flour, sugar, choc chips butter...a recipe book. hmm...
cupcake trays...
spin them around in the oven and you get...cupcakes! (:
i tried the bacon mushroom sauce with instant noodles instead. its not too bad.
scented vanilla candle, handmade by sherwin's classmate, jamie's mom. they smell really good. got bored while studying so i carved initials into it.
bought yummy yummy lip balms from etsy! (:
new updates at squiggletown! (: and MORE coming up soon!

captured these at bishan park and outside my house. i don't think i took good shots, because it doesn't do the skyline justice. okay, let me try to paint the skyline. the sun was peeping behind the clouds, and there was a smattering of colours peeping out from behind. the sunlight split the colours so it looked like a cross between a prism and a rainbow. the colours smudged and melded into the skyline, giving this ethereal yet phantasmagorical feel! it was mesmerising. it was brighter while i was at bishan park, but i didn't have my camera at hand. so i borrowed my dad's phone to snap a shot. then spotted it outside my house when i cycled back, so grabbed my camera and snapped a few shots. but by then it was getting dark - rain clouds. so ahwells. but it really was beautiful.
added a bit more bits and embellishments to my diary. makes scheduling more fun i feel. (:
and to my notebook. haha. okay.
watched waterhorse and horton! waterhorse was alright. the story was touching. and its like fairytales. gives you that hope to believe in magic and stories. that at the end of it all good would prevail. even if everything seems so hopeless and dire. it reminded me a bit of peter pan II (yes, there is a part II. haha. i watched it on disney channel). both shows are set in countries struggling with war (i'm guessing its WWII). while one in scotland and the other in britain, still similarities are there. the entire movie was kinda dark though...
horton on the other hand is really enjoyable. its light-hearted, funny, and the animation is fantastic! makes you want to read dr. suess all over.
i suppose i should get back to studying. i should. really. but (why oh why must i!)

made this pouch to fit my ez-link card and all. to replace the pouch that i'm using now cos it broke. its made with felt. (:
did this for sherwin. so that when i tuition him, there will be some sort of incentive.
poster again. changed some stuff.
was pleasantly surprised on sunday with a belated birthday gift of hot chocolate early sunday morning when i reached church. tried taking a picture if it in the church library, and i really like the effect or colour. it looks like an old photo. i'm not sure if my camera has a setting for that. should try to experiment more...i think its more likely the lighting of the room.
lunch! mushrooms and scallops in cream sauce, mozerella garlic mashed potatoes, mini chicken cutlets. mMmm.
paper roses! i learnt how to make these at the sarah senior booth at the jumbo jumble fair at PHS. the cookie monster container is actually sherwin's old milk bottle. haha. okay. need to study now.
some random food picture which i shall explain shortly. the almond filled bottles are an idea of what you could use empty class bottles for. the sweets at the bottom left are like a blast from the past! i used to eat these as a child, didnt know they still existed. heart shaped cut fruits. my version of carbonara + prawns and shrooms. not bad. needs more salt tho.
pictures from the phs jj carnival.
and UPDATES in squiggletown! quick go look! (:
a masquerade ball and a maiden. but her trinket slips while caught in the moment. a whirl and suddenly time stood still. as the timepiece glittered in the moonlight, it lay still under the shimmer. yet, it twinkled and teased. slowly, the creeping tendrils of roses draped itself around it. but yet, its beauty still shows. timeless enrapturement.
and i seriously need to study. sigh. so so so so so deaddddd.

scrapped this last night. this is the notebook i use at church, to take down sermon notes and the ilk. love the pretty brown paper with leaves and branches. its from american crafts. love it!
an alternative would be a salt body scrub.
this is taken from a book "bikini fit".
ohh, and i received an email from my mom. while eating, its better to drink warm water. the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. and this would slow down the digestion. once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. it will line the intestine and soon turn into fats and lead to cancer. therefore, it is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
so keep fit and be healthy! (darn, now i'll need to exercise...)

lunch. i cooked chicken cutlets the way my grandma taught me - chicken dipped in egg and cracker crumbs. ingredients few as it may seem, its really good. tender yet tasty!
then baked cupcakes using my favourite recipe. yummy yummy! the top is slightly crisp. the inside is chewy. not too sweet. moist. just right. (:
♥sheryl
saw this book while walking, thought it was really pithy and ironic. (:
buffet at koshinbo. SUPER good!! but it'd be more worth it (1) if we went earlier, and (2) we went on a weekday. haha. yea, but still. i mean we stuffed ourselves silly (while at the same time trying not to fit into the usual kiasu singaporean profile) but the very next day after church when we looked through the photos again, we felt like eating it all over! the tempura and crab and lobster and scallops and sushi and sashimi and (are you salivating yet?!) haha. yupp. good deal. should go try it people! (goodness i'm giving them publicity. haha)
sunday night we celebrated grandma's birthday!
and today, we celebrated hanisha (02/03) and stella's (06/03) birthday! we bought them matching bodyshop stuff, seeing as how they were born 4 days apart. and today was the last day of school! yayness. ohh. and i'm going to try to apply for a job at mwl. hope i get it. think it'd be very fun.
