Ice cream and me???

Was looking through my holiday pics and saw 2 very similar and funny pics!



At first glance, 2 conclusions can be drawn:

(1) we like ice cream and milkshakes very very much.

(2) Cui has a not-so-secret crush on me OR she hates me!

Miss NYC, the weather, the company, the milkshakes, the shopping, the afternoons of doing anything I please.

El Carnival

Hmmm had a sudden whim to look through the few pictures we took some weeks ago at the Law Society D&D. Unfortunately, my camera takes very unflattering photos - time for a new one. (I bet it went haywire when i dropped it in Rome while exchanging it for my ice-cream cone with TR. Anything for an Italian gelato!)

Not a mind-blowing night anyway. There were too many speeches, tedious prize presentations and a cringingly bad stand-up comedienne. It ended unnecessarily late - lucky to have nice people giving me a lift home :)

we only wore our masks for about... a minute?

the grub for the night

cam whoring in my kitchen - good lighting!

I took 5 pictures of Ben simultaneously and he still managed to hold the pose!

A Taxonomy of Barnacles

Am reading the very quirky and entertaining A Taxonomy of Barnacles by Galt Niederhoffer. I like the charming way this author describes the life of a bunch of eccentric sisters and their dysfunctional family. And it's set in NYC!

There's a bit of Special Topics in Calamity Physics in it, but not as depressing an ending I hope. Nice to chance upon a good book! Bought it from the open air branch of The Strand bookstore outside Central Park in NYC for half its price. Admittedly, the first thing that attracted me was the cover with its vintage drawings. So pretty :)

Paper Value

Scrapbooking has caught Singapore by storm considering how a new shop - Paper Market - has mushroomed in Raffles City. Perfect location!

Better still, two of Popular's up-market sister shops - Urban Write and Prologue - also carry a small range of scrapbooking products (mostly from S.E.I). The best thing is (1) I can use my Popular card to get 10% off; (2) the stuff there is at least $2 cheaper than the specialized scrapbooking stores and (3) I can get sticker lettering for less than $4! Make that 3 best things!

I COVET: the Photo Box Album from Kikki.K (a new Auzzie stationary store in Ion selling erm, Swedish inspired stationery). It costs a freaking $99! Can somebody convince me that it's worth it? I've made two trips down to evaluate my option and it's embarrassing to make a third. In the meantime, I'm sourcing for materials to construct a similar one. It looks seemingly easy.
