grabbing that last free moment

okie.... 1.30am in the morning of the sunday night, I have drown down two glasses of sav blanc.... (or 2.5 or.... 3? oh well who is counting) I was contemplation whether I should stop by work tonight after being dropped off from baby's house. But my stomache was so bad I spend a couple hours recovering and by the time I felt better, it was already 10pm...


So let's see, I had a rather relaxing weekend with Friday finished early at 3pm. Took my mum and baby to watch Cirque Du Solei's DRALION.... was supposed to take daddy but he had to fly home last week, such a shame becuase I know he would love something like this. The tickets are very pricy and it was certinaly very good value for money. We had a great time, the perforamance was breathtaking. I was very stressed during the day for no reason, perhaps there was alot on at work and I knew I had to leave early therefore I was stressed to the max.... but I decided not to think too much about work since I am taking my mum to see this show. We then had a good dinner at Kobe Jones @ Docklands. It has very good views to the bay. Didn't love the food though.


I have been craving for yum cha for as long as I could remember. The last time I had yumcha was not long after Christmas at this shabby place @ Blackburn. The food were quite disappointing hence I have been wanted to have 'good' yum cha. it is times like this I have to really thank my baby for tolerating and spoil me for what I want. He is happy to eat pho from home but I instisted him takinng me to Golden Dragon today knowning they are fully booked and insisted on waiting for a good half an hour before we were given a table. The food were as good as I wanted, I had all my yumcha fix, the chicken feet, pork spare ribs and TOFUHUA my favourite! Baby sat there watching me destoying the food with such understanding smile... you just gotta love the guy.. lol. I certainly got punished later on from a stomache as the food from yumcha are way too oily for what I can handle... :( I loved the food, I ate the food and I guess I had to endure the pain these food would brouhght. I dont care, I love yumcha.


So... I guess I can't complain my weekend... although again I cannot stop thinking about work, I am really rather lost now as I don't know why I have been so stressed over work even at my own private time. Don't they say you should just shut out everything when you step out of the office? I simply cannot do that and frankly I am pretty tired of all of these. I pride myself for able to deal pressures at work however being sat in the dark for the last couple years, I emotionally am feeling rather exhausted... no doubt these are the tests god put me through and want me to be stronger. Sometimes I cannot help but wonder if what I am doing is really what I should be doing. I have taken such different path compare to most people at my age because of the situation I have been in. I do no complain, as a matter of fact I appreciate the hurdles I have to overcome as they make me to appreciate and push me to learn and adopt my surrounding environment. I become more confident and smart on how to do things. However at the end of the day, there is still this ruler in my heart and if I can't really mesure up I know I am not doing the right thing no matter how much I have been trying to convince myself....

I am jsut exhausted....

Neverthless, one of the reason of this blog is to really let this out and hopefully gives me the courage and energy facing another day.

I guess I will finish my entry with the lovely lunch I had with baby celebrating our 3 years @ The Bontonical back in Feb 09. The food were quite nice, but I got way too full before the main course. We had amazing 1.5 dozen of oysters from all over Australia. They are just wonderful, not those you can buy from the markets. These ones are so detailed noted on their origin and so fresh!
The pavalova desert we had, with sobert and all
Us, happy bday and happy 3 years anniversary baby!

the old fashion way.. clicky clicky

Spot this polarid progrem on the polarid webiste, I love polarids, there is an old world, retro charm about polarids. I had the very old one and the sticker ones that were sold for $29.95 about 10 years ago. Recently I bought a fujifilm one which I quite like, however the films cost alot and you can't take photos as sprangly as your digital camera.

With this progrem, you can convert your digital photos into polarids, it even has that special over expose, slightly greeny photo effects. Loving it!



This is me and Muffie, he was very unhappy abt this particular photographic session.


Super delicious baked eggs from Madam Sousou, one of our favourite breakfast spot @ Brunswick street.



Me with glasses.



Love this photo of Muffie, taken on my bed. focus on his paws. Super adorable.


Last but not least, another favourite of mine, love the over exposed color in this photo and Muffie's eyes still shine through.

these red picks me up from blue to happy moode


nailpolish: Shu Uemura jelly red, have to put quite a few layers
color looks better in the bottle, still cute


randome pix of my made-up face, definitely not good enough. I thought I have done alot on my eyes but just doesn't show when I take photos. Blue top by Dsquared from a Jap shop in QV. It has really cute balloon sleeves but can't see in this pix.

is it really 3am already?


I am so tired.... really exhausted but not sleepy...
thanks to the red bull I had about 8pm
Have been going home from work at the decent time this week
but I can no longer push away the piles on my desk


I will be drown soon if I don't go through them

So I did,
until 1.30am tonight
Those things aren't even very important or difficulat
but just takes so much time to sort them, attend the ones required etc
I have to do this though because I am leaving work early for Cique De Solei
So I really need to finish what I have to do this week.

Can you believe it will be weekend soon again?
I have been in whole lot of jumbles re work these days
I don't know....
Sometimes i envy those ppl who have so much time on their hands


whereas me.... probably spend 70% of my weekend thinking about work still
how sad is that.
I want to appreciate the sky and take time to enjoy the surrounding as well
now i can only take a few pictures when I get out of the office.

I wonder...

does it make you an alcoholic when you feel like a glass or wine after work.
and you drink alone at home... but just one glass! or two but not more than 3....??


me after a few drinks by myself on a random night. Taken with my super blurry camera from Eeepc...

AW09 de lovely

Lovely present from my baby for my bday last year, I received a beautiful patent wine colored wallet but decided to return it because finger prints get on the wallet so easily and it was a bit small than what I wanted. I have been visited Chanel ever since then until I found this beautiful baby. It is in the most beautiful lamb leather, so soft and smells so gooood!









Not so productive Sunday



I woke up this morning about 11am from my phone alarm and snoozed all the way to 2pm until baby dropped by my house from his bike ride.

I was feeling bad that I seemed to waste the whole morning again however that doesn't stop me from wasting the afternoon laying in bed and watch 30rock straight through to 5pm....

I really enjoy such lazy sunday although I can't deny work is always at the back of my head. And it makes worse that I have not really checked into my work email or accounts since last Thursday. Is this what you call Workholics?

I finally decided to start this blog again after numerous trials I would not be able to confirm how far I can continue this but I would like to try. I did so many things in the last few years and I can't really remember much, I stopped taking photos when I go out also so I don't even have anything to refer back to. And I don't want that...

Oh well... only if I can work how to work out this photos things. Looks like I can only upload one photo at the time? if that is the case. Let it be this one today. Actually I just found out I can upload mutiple ones at the same time but somehow I can't really edit the photos or re-upload. This is driving me nuts!
