a moment to remember

~songs in my head~

没有地球太阳还是会绕.

But I don’t care what they say. I’m in love with you.

I just wanna fall and lose myself Laughing so hard it hurts like hell Forget about everything and run away, yeah

By ourselves we are too weak to hold our own even for a moment.

"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God" (Romans 8:28)

For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.

"God has given, God has taken, blessed be the name of God" (Job 1:21)

"I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out – plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

all my favourite things

Havent had the time to update...
Just came back 2 days ago from a short business trip to Penang.
it was pretty city-like and unlike what I imagined... dark wobbly roads and unsafe, like JB
our clients took us out for hawker food and Teochew lunch...
the food was delicious!
It was also my first time staying in a hotel on my own...
I supposed that my company's welfare is not too bad.. as everyone had their own room..
initially the idea was abit scary since afterall sleeping alone in a hotel room is not the most comfortable thing but the privacy was shiok!!
there was no need to share room with my boss and wait for each other to bath...
and i could just laze on the bed and watch whatever channels i wanted..
Overall the trip was alright, just that it was unnerving and stressful because there were so many things to prepare...

Life has been good these days...
Although my mood fluctuates up and down, but there's someone who is always tolerating my nonsense and comforting me when i am feeling moody :)
it is really amazing how comfortable we are with each other...
despite being friends for so long, and never thinking we could be more...

Last saturday, i finally made the reservation for the little spanish restaurant and off we went, to Bukit Timah Road... took some wrong turns on the road, and we seemed to be on the CTE for the longest time until we finally reached there.. can't help it, we are both east-ies! haha..
and then there was the parking issue... couldnt find where to park amidst all the rich housing!
and then after parking, finally found the restaurant underneath the shophouse..
it was quite worth to keep this little secret because it turned out to be a cosy corner...
and we tried their paella (this pan of seafood and rice - like a spanish version of our claypot rice), and some tapas... their lychee rose tea was thumbs up!
will find the time to upload the photos of our little 3 months celebration + be-be-belated birthday treat for roland.
we also almost "died" when mr high-astigmatism changed lane at a bend, and the car was like moving straight ahead into the bend... and then i shouted "darling!"
and he shifted the steering wheel... haha... so i decided that i should help drive the long distances at night before he gets his new specs... :P

Tonight Im meeting wenxin for her birthday celebration.
how fast time flies....
it seemed just not too long ago that i brought her to bishan park last yr...
and presented to her the casio watch...
i hope she will like this year's present too...
We're going to Procacci, this italian restaurant newly opened at Customs House.
Am into looking out for and compiling a list of good-to-go restaurants for birthdays and anniversaries, so if you know any, please share!

Now moving on to ramble about my favourite things

Chanel logo earrings!
isnt this lovely?!! i was trying to decide whether i would save up $600 for this earrings or a pair of Christian Louboutins (from net-a-porter)

initially my answer was the shoes of course...
but i will probably wear the earrings more often? though i will be devastated if i lose one side of it.. which does happen to my earrings from time to time :(
but any scratch marks on $600 heels will be an ouch too!
however i am not so sure whether the chanel earrings have already been phased out in the boutiques..

Im also madly in love with Chanel make-up!
i guess if i cant have chanel bag, or chanel earrings...
the next best affordable replacement is their make-up! =)

bought a couple of Chanel stuff while i was at the airport..

Vanessa Paradis, the beautiful french actress (aka Johnny Depp's long-time gf), is fronting the current Chanel Rouge Coco campaign... in my opinion, she's the perfect choice, because she embodies the Parisan chic look/style that i admire.. she's kind of like the modern audrey hepburn, very classy and elegant.

i got the Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss in shade 57 Insolence (which means bold and impudent)...
the famous hot pink shade that's appearing on the back covers of magazines like CLEO..

It is the shade on the right.. fell in love instantly with the glossy pink shade.
it is actually very wearable, and not that exaggerated.
the red looks really sexy too!! lip colors can change the overall look instantly.
im looking to get the shade Insouciance (which means indifference)..
even the names of the products are so irresistable.
and of course the sleek black and gold packaging is very attractive to me as well.

i also got the waterproof twist-up eyeliner (it's good and longlasting!)and Chanel N°5 hair mist..
i am not a fan of all the chanel fragrances, some are quite overpowering
but i want to get them because i want to collect the classic bottles and packaging! hehe...
i am now collecting small perfume bottles... those 5 or 10ml ones.. really cute to display, and to bring along for short trips or touch up too..

next perfume will probably be from the Chanel Coco Mademoiselle range..
that campaign was fronted by Keira Knightly..
in the ad she was totally nude with only a strategically placed bowler hat on her digitally enhanced chest.
although she is lovely, but i dont get the nudity (why!)
nudity and chanel, does not go together, imo...
if there is really a need, perhaps someone more curvy like Marion Cotillard will be a better choice.

i love almost everything on this model.. the dark nails.. the perfectly arched brows, the gorgeous dark hair, and that very perfect pink shade on her lips!

Yum...

Chanel's new nail color range is also very irresistable, but i am not that crazy to spend $23 on one bottle of nail polish that i have to apply myself.. (there should be some nail salons that carry Chanel or other brands of nail polishes rather than just OPI)

this jade shade is very gorgeous too.
