Anecdote

Boss: Hey! Your stomach is showing and it's nice!Me: Yea it suddenly pop out over the last couple of weeksBoss: What "popping"? It's "your bb is growing"!Me: Hmmm, a whole new beautiful way to see things I guess Tracking the "bump"
Grant me my wish - preserve those lean arms!

Little things do make me happy

It's been a while since I left my previous company where colleagues would travel overseas and buy me stuff.
And finally I got a little cute import from the land of the rising sun from a current colleague!

Dotty

I have a thing for polka dots - don't you think it's the most universal print?

Myriad

You ever felt this way?
Myriad of emotions. Explosions of a conglomerate of feelings.
Too diverse, too varied and you are lost trying to find the starting point to relate.

There are many ways to keep sanity:
If you have a religious support, like me, talking to my Heavenly Father gives unexplainable calming peace.
Next, confiding in the right family members/friends who offer support through understanding, empathy and encouragement.

Then, after you have said so much till words fail you and exhaustion creeps in, here's what I do:
- Blogging tirelessly
- Retail therapy->dressing up->looking good->feeling good
- Fancy/wacky manicure (pictures in upcoming post)
- Movies/music - whichever relaxs you
- Games
Bottomline: you'll find me indulging in every possible treat that doesn't imply that I am stressed, as it really really helps to take your mind off.

Live to learn. Learn to cope. Cope by laughing it off.
"There's a silver lining in every cloud."

Muse

Preggie Celeb styles I adore - Nicole Richie is my new muse Why don't we have affordable maternity wear like Old Navy and Gap in SG? I ordered some loots from Old Navy, keeping fingers crossed that the sizes fit me!Photo courtesy of http://pregnancyfashion.sheknows.com

 

Tried & Tested: Moisturizer

On a quest to find the right moisturizer cum sunscreen and concealer for my severely dry face. Concealer: Tried ZA and it reveals a cracked texture over where it's applied after half a day.

 Bio-Essence - high SPF protection but hard to be absorbed and appears whitish after application. Does not moisturize my skin much.

Shiseido Emulsion - creamy texture that does not absorb easily but moisturizes well.

ZA concealer does not show up as badly. 

 

Winter Sonata

There were 2 suspects:

1) The virus that circulated through the air-con ventilation

2) The air-con was simply too cold

Resorted to unglam thick, woollen throwever to combat blowing my whole nose off every morning - my latest gimmick. Winter Sonata at play.

A great steal from G2000. Super unglam. Super effective. Day 5 and counting. I haven't sneezed the same way since :)
