Always be Thankful.

Whenever the stress of work or life gets to me,

I turn into a perpetual grumbler.

You'll be surprised at how much I can whine and grumble (to the ones close to me) when I feel that life is too much for me to handle or when I'm feeling upset.

However,

I'm growing to learn that life definitely has its ups and downs.

I also try to think of things in my life that I have to be thankful about to make myself feel better.

I find that this works for me most of the time and you should try it on your bad days too!

Here are some of the things which made my week a much better one!

Such as...

Going home to my cute babies













There's no way anyone can still feel crappy after seeing their cute furry little faces!
Instant mood lift when I see Xiao Bai dashing and barking excitedly whenever anyone comes home.


Getting my nails done at Milly's









Aren't pineapples just too extremely cute on nails (and my Naked Glory watch)???
Thought that it would be a good idea to have pineapple nails instead of red-ish/CNY-ish nails.
Anyway, pineapples means "good fortune come" in dialect,
which is apt enough for new year.
And I love pineapple tarts!
Genius interpretation of CNY nails if I can say so myself.
LOL.

Chloe (my manicurist) did such a good job of them!
Couldn't stop telling her "OMG 你很厉害叻!" after she was done drawing the f irst pineapple for me to see.

Book your appointments NOW because they don't have time to do walk-in slots anymore!
And I also heard that bookings are all full...
But you can call and try your luck in case anyone cancels their appointments!

Having a nice afternoon break on a weekday afternoon

Chye Seng Huat Hardware
150 Tyrwhitt Road
Singapore 207563

So you see,
it's not that difficult for me to find things in my life to be thankful about every day.
:)
Have a happy Friday everyone!

I'm happy to be spending it at home with my two baby girls!

In between.

Thought I would blog about something else this post before finishing up the last bit of my trip!

:)

Of food and outfits.

Popped by Chye Seng Huat Hardware for late brunch with Thom over my CNY break.

Also, we went on a weekday and it was filled with people.
The banana walnut pancakes didn't really leave an impression on me though,
I probably ordered the wrong dish off the menu.

We'll probably go back again because their coffee is quite awesome!
:)

(Omg look at how round my face is after all that CNY binging..... Glad to be back at work!)

Outfit from a random work day.
The top which I'm wearing will be launched this Sunday!
:)
It made it to one of my casual favourites because its so easy to match with,
and of course the pretty embroidery details makes it too hard to resist.
Kept this in lilac and contemplating about daffodil!
Why is my life so difficult?

Above photos were taken with the EP3.
Those below were taken with EX2F.

Met Sissy in town after her class this week to do a bit of my favourite activity.

RETAIL THERAPY.

Hahahah.

I'm beyond hope.

I need another wardrobe clearance soon.

I'm loving the sweater/cardigan with a collared shirt look recently!
But Singapore's weather is a little too hot to work this look, hahah.

Launching the cardigan this Sunday too!
And I love that it's lightweight enough so that I can do more layering.
Perfect for sunny Singapore weather.
:)

Dinner at our favourite Japanese food haunt,
Itacho!
Love this so much I don't mind having it every week.
In fact, I am having it again next week with my friend!

That's it and I think I've cleared most of my backdated photos!
I hope your weekend is a happy one!
:)
