Food

Celebrated our wedding anniversary a few days back. Had lunch at this restaurant offering modern European cuisine at Prinsep St. Hubby ordered a steak while I ate a dish of cod fish. The presentation of the food is nice enough to make me drool. The mushroom soup is simply great and I think it's the best I've tasted. I won't say that I'm a small eater, but I got to give the dessert a miss after just the soup and main course. The portion is big enough to fill my stomach to the brim. In fact, after the rich mushroom soup, I was already 1/3 full.

The nice thing about the lunch is that not only the food is good, there is no crowd. After the couple who came before us left, we'd the restaurant all to ourselves!

Took some pics on by hp but has not downloaded them yet. Will do so later.....

Book Fest

Have gone to the Popular Book Fest yesterday, thinking that it is the last day of the 2-week long fair and the crowd should not be there. I was wrong. It was crowded but definitely better than the Crocs sale. The assessment books section was packed with parents carefully pouring over the many selections and thinking hard which books to bring home (moi being one of them).

Have got several books for my kids, which are additional to the many that I've purchased 3 days ago. Compared to many parents there who purchased the assessment books by the trolley, my load is considered peanuts.

As I'm now staying at home, I've more time to spend on my kids' study and thus more work to be assigned to them. My son has cited that as one of the cons of mummy not working n staying at home. Well, my response to him is that I'm doing it for his own good :)

Collection of New Works

Finally, I'm back! Really had a relaxing day as today is the last day of my kids' exams. Next, we'll be awaiting for the jittery moment for the release of the results. Time flies, it's approaching the end of the year again....

I've posted a collection of my new works for the past month or so. It has a combination of crystals, pearls, shells, rings. Will be creating more works. Keep a look-out:P

Exam Fever.... Will Be Back Soon....

It has been sometime since I last posted something. No, I've not stopped creating jewelry. It's just that the exam fever is on! My kids exams are round the corner and I'm trying to stay focus in getting them/helping them in their revision.

When they were asleep, I create my jewelry, if inspiration comes and the mood is right - it's therapeutic! But I realised that inspiration comes more easily when the mind is not so tired and pressurized. So we'll see what happens these coming 3 weeks as the exams are approaching.....

5 earrings and 1 choker - that's what I've done last month but have not got time to post them on my blog. My hubby, usually hogs the laptop at night. He seems to have endless e-mails to clear, having just cleared them in office before coming back home less than 2 hrs ago. A bunch of workaholics indeed.

Do stay tuned and watch out for my post on 1 Nov 08. See ya!

Charms

Got a request from my son to make some handphone charms for him to give away as Teachers' Day gifts. Have crafted these 4 different ones. Well, he liked the one with pink Swarovski butterfly crystal best and has given it to his most favourite teacher.
