just finished a book by manfredi. its titled Pharaoh and is a culmination of 2 of my very favouritest things - Egyptology and archeology with a dash of mystery. very satisfying read. i took my time with this book; usually i'll just sit down and finish reading the book in practically one sitting, but i had a lot of things to do. i got the book on sunday, but read the bulk of it today. anyhow, the past week has been a swirl of events. 

school started on monday.

gave andrew a little present on tuesday.

went to Ikea on wednesday (and bought 14 kraft boxes, so as you've probably guessed, more packing ensued).

went out shopping with the girls on thursday (bought a dress, shoes and some other stuff!)

had dinner out with andrew on friday at new york new york.

cg day was at my place on sat (we cooked curry and played the new credit card monopoly!)

sunday sherwin and i made a recipe file for him to copy down recipes (i quite like that he's expressing an interest in baking!), mom's colleague dropped by with a huge box of yummy pineapple tarts that she makes every year for cny and i bought the manfredi book (and realised i needed a bookmark so made one rather quickly but i like it! mini doily and woodgrain contact sheet!)

monday (yesterday) i did some major organising for my school notes for this sem (printed out the lot of readings from the ecms, labelled, sorted, filed them)

and today, i finally remembered to take my vits! and for some weird reason i scratched my burn wound while sleeping last night, so i had to put antiseptic. and in an effort to try and remind myself to be crafty and took a picture of my new colour pencils (crayons+watercolour+coloured pencil = 3 in 1) that i got from seoul. i haven't tried them out yet. they're pretty pricey but the colour is so luscious! so yea. will definitely try it soon.

hmm. what else...i wanted to bake cookies and the chocolate cornflakes for cny, but mom said she already bought cny stuff to give. so might just make a small batch of chocolate cornflakes for andrew and grandma instead.

ahwells! 

okay. going to go grocery shopping now. 

ttfn!

found this really cute picture by hayley. i love how fall feels. people start posting all sorts of warm and fuzzy pictures. and some with snow even. today is the first day of november! its practically the start of the whole Christmas season! (: cityhall has the Christmas tree up even!

edited this journal a little with woodgrain paper and new spanking new stamps!! i finally got the sassafras stamps that i wanted. and andrew got me the birds & nests stamp set for an early anniversary present!!!! can you believe that? how sweet is he? (:

i got this awhile back. i've always wanted a mary-jane style shoe + its suede! crocs is good cos it lasts long and its pretty comfy. although i've been getting a few small blisters. my crocs malindi gave me some too, but once my feet got used to them it was SUPER comfy. haha. i think i have a thing for quality footwear. i don't mind having only a few pair of shoes if i know that it would last long. so far, i've really liked crocs and birks. i got three of each. i cant seem to find the name or the image of the first pair of birks that i got tho, and that i really bugging me. ): 

ohh, and this was part of the decor at the vivo food republic. i really like the decor there. i think my parents especially like it because it reminds them of their childhood. the whole 1960s feel. very vintage. very cool. would love to have birdcage lights too. i'm just not too sure about the dust its going to collect tho...

okay, that looks like something worth considering. takes up just that little place, leaving me space for a home gym, mwhaha.

sorry i haven been blogging. too much is happening in work. sheryl and i both got a new watch which we like(mine's a timex and her's nike). the only reason i could think of why she have not posted a picture is due to us not being able to take a nice shot? isnt that right?

ah, so many things i want to purchase. got to prioritize them, get the more important ones. hopefully work will decrease in the next two weeks so i could see sheryl more. and of course, able to keep up with my scheduled workouts.

just an idea of the some things i want: see above. thats just two of them. need to always remember that it is God's provision.

alrighty, till the next time then
