Year of the Dragon: 2012

Due to my health circumstances in December 2011, I was unable to produce my home-made Christmas cards for my loved ones. So I'd resolved to make Lunar New Year cards instead.

Happy Lunar New Year!

Compliment or Insult?

Time and again, I find myself stunned by the grapevine. I shouldn't be, but I can't help it. That is why I prefer not to know what others have said about me - it keeps me wondering whether to take it literally or to read between the lines.

2011 Has Been...

Year 2011 has been a year of change - in situation as well as in character. Change has pushed me to grow. 10 changes that comes to mind were:

Ninth Sewing Project: My Audrey Dress

There is a hoarder in every one of us. My list is numerous and one of them (cultivated last year) is downloading dress patterns. I'd downloaded the Audrey Dress last year from here (Selfish Seamstress). Always wanted to attempt it but never had the time or enough motivation to start on the project.

So when my company's annual dinner theme was announced - "Movie Stars" - I decided to dress as Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

My Christmas Miracle

The year-end has been relentless. What with the last few Board/Board Committee meetings to round the year up and the scramble to meet our divisional KPIs and getting sick twice within a span of about two weeks. The first - thankfully everything worked out fine albeit the unavoidable visits by Murphy.

"Baju" for my Sensation

Polka dots, flowers, butterflies and the colours of the rainbow. A girly list for a not so girly girl. I can't help it, I just like them so much! And I can't sleep till I get hold of them. So I hunted down the cheapest bargains on eBay and bought them all at one go. The credit card bank actually immediately called me up to verify the purchases made!

My Theory on How I Got My Phone

There's just something interesting about e-commerce. At this point in time, I've only been exposed to business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce. It is fascinating how online sellers can offer products for much cheaper prices than that of the brick-and-mortar shops.

Malaysia Needs More People Who Think Before They Act

Sad to say, I have lost track of the recent happenings in Malaysia. For example, I had only heard about the Himpunan Sejuta Umat this morning. So in an effort to decrease my ignorance, I Googled it and found this article in The Star Website.

Goodbye Aunty Kook

There are times when only weeks or months later do you only realise the importance of that little impromptu act/step taken. Today's post will be about just such an event.

Can't Stop Staring at Backside

Changing handphones is not a regular thing I do. In fact, ever since I started having one eight years ago, I've only had four. I have only intentionally bought one phone so far, and I'm not talking about my latest (that was an accident!).
