Land of the Rising Sun

We're in Japan! Too tired to write much but this babymoon looks promising.

30 Days of Thanksgiving - 24/30

I know I'm taking a really long time to finish these series of posts, but what can I say? It's my blog and I'll post when I want to. Lol.

Simple thing to be thankful for today - my Shu Uemera Tsuya Skin Youthful Crystal-Transparency Lotion.

When I was preparing for my weddinv last year, shiny recommended a make up artist. I went for a trial make up session and really liked her, and she shared that I had really dry skin. I confessed that I didn't really have any facial routine other than to wash with a generic facial wash and the occasional slap of moisturiser (every other month).

Instead of nagging me about the importance of a proper skin care routine, she actually said that she was very lazy herself and just used this Shu Uemera lotion at night after she washed her face.
I decided to get a bottle for myself and tried to use it every night. It was really easy cos after I'd wash my face, I just needed to shake a couple of drops onto my palm and clap them together and then pat onto my face. And that's it!

A super simple skincare routine.

I saw her a couple of months after my trial make up session, and while I did pamper myself with a few facial sessions, I know my skin was definitely not as dry as when she first met me.

Even today, more than half a year after my wedding, I'm still using that same bottle I bought and my skin thanks me for it. Heheh.

The Library

One of the places I enjoy hanging out at since I've stopped working is the main branch of the National Library. It's convenient to get to, and the airconditioning is comfortable and not too cold like in the malls.

The wide selection of (free) books keep me entertained as well and the space is generally comfortable and pleasant to spend a few hours in.

Today, I've found myself a nosy nook to settle into, and I've picked up a Piers Anthony book which will transport me to the wonderful land of Xanth. What a wonderful way to spend a Friday afternoon!

Skype!

One of the things I really enjoy these days is skyping with my sis. I don't know why we never used to do it last time, after all, she's been in the US for more than 2 years now. But it's better late than never.

Being able to skype each other means that not only do we get to jibber jabber on for long periods of time (an average call is about an hour?), I also get to see baby-I in action. Bless!

She really is the sweetest child, and I love being able to see my sis and her interacting. Yay technology!

Luckiest Girl In The World

I've been feeling a little under the weather these past couple of days and +3 has really stepped up to take care of me. Despite a busy day at work, he comes back home to cook dinner when I'm too tired to, and also does all the chores around the house.

The exzema on my fingers have been flaring up too and guess who has been blessed to have in-house shampoo sessions? *love*

I'm the luckiest girl in the world. I'm the luckiest girl in the universe!

We Have Limited Time In The Sun

+3 and I bought some gundam toys (is that what they are called?) over the weekend. We got the limited edition SG50 one cos we are so Singaporean, and another green one called Hi-Mock.

The result of this gundam filled weekend was a couple of gundam related dreams. I can't remember the details of my dream but it has to do with me giving +3 a white one.

+3's dream was less complicated but much sweeter.

He dreamt that he was looking at a movie poster which had a huge gundam and at the bottom, some small pictures, one of which was a couple hugging (which turned out to be us). The movie tagline was "We have limited time in the sun" which was a reminder that we only had a limited time on earth.

Awww.

I'm so thankful to be blessed to be married to such a wonderful man who is compatible with me in so many ways. Gotta really remember not to take our time together for granted.

The Beginning of a New Chapter

So I quit my job and served my last day of notice last Friday. The plan is to take a break, be less stressed out, and hopefully make a baby.

And what have I discovered in the last couple of days?

Not being in the office is HOT. The temperature has been in the low to mid 30s, and have I mentioned that it's hot?

Ah well. Thankfully there are a tonne of malls, libraries and cafes to hang out at.

Happy Moments of 02062015:

- Enjoyed my first official work-free day (weekends don't count) by napping a couple of times in the day. So blissful to doze off at 1pm for a siesta.

- Was introduced to the Tiong Bahru Galicier Pastry shop by CH. Had delicious kuehs like kueh dadar, ondeh ondeh and many more.

- Finally found one of the kittens that I spotted a couple of weeks back. Saw these 2 kittens playing near the drain, and I've been buying cat food and trying to look for them for quite some time. The neighbourhood cats have gotten lucky, since I end up feeding them anyway, but spotted the little one hiding behind a shrub. Yay!

Time to take a shower and head out to find someplace cool to chill. Happy days!
