Last year's family vacation
Since I'm in the mood (and partly to delay going to bed cos it brings work the next day closer sigh), I shall put up some pictures of our family vacation to the relatively fuss-free Bintan Lagoon last year. It's really all thanks to my aunt's meticulous planning that everything goes so smoothly each year that we head there. The only unexpected incident this year was the (fatal) visit of a disgustingly enormous centipede.

A Girl's Dream
I'll vote Eleta's wedding as my fav wedding of 2010/2011 (I've attended 12 or 13 so far) purely for the ambiance and decorations. It's a 100% Martha Stewart style wedding complete with frou frou poms poms, vintage flower tins, wicker baskets, bird cages and the most amazing photoshoot! The whole wedding is so her and it's also so her to want to teach us how to make the pom-pom flowers even though she'll be literally an ocean away in a few weeks.
To top it off, they held their wedding at Chijmes! I can't think of a more fitting venue for this whimsical celebration. There's just something magical about the soaring vaulted ceilings in a cathedral, the chandeliers (a touch of modernity) and the Corinthian pillars.
What I really like about the wedding was that everyone was very chill and the couple took the time to mingle with their guests. I've attended some weddings where the only pictures I returned home with were of ourselves, minus the couple.

Happiness and love
My recent reading list consists of a strange pairing of topics - happiness and love, polygamy and adultery. They are pretty good reads though.
On happiness and women - Women, by and large, are slightly happier than men. But they are also more susceptible to depression... which suggests either that women are more likely to experience more extreme emotions, or that a few women are more miserable than men, while most are more cheerful (The Economist, Dec 2010). Quite true.
Neurotic people - those who are prone to guilt, anger and anxiety - tend to be unhappy. Neurotic people are not just prone to negative feelings: they also tend to have low emotional intelligence, which makes them bad at forming or managing relationships, and that in turn makes them unhappy (The Economist, Dec 2010). It's scary to see how the characterization of neuroticism is not all that remote.

2 peas in a pod
Randomly looking through my electronic vault of pictures and saw these two pics - circa 2009 - of TR looking very like T (totoro)!

Successful advertising
I've noticed that my (infrequent) blog posts have mainly been about scrapbooking. Can't help it cos it's probably the only thing keeping me sane now with heaps of work I have to complete. I can't say that it helps me to de-stress cos I'm pretty anal about my layouts but it's a nice kind of stress if you get what I mean.
And I just love looking at pretty papers and stickers and ribbons and flowers... Basic Grey should stop coming out with all these gorgeous adverts for their new releases!!
