My Bestie....

This is my bestie.....since some 22 years ago (it should be more than this number of years cause we've been in similar Primary class but just didn't cross path to be friends yet.....). We're the sort of bestie that don't meet up that often (you can literally count the number of times we meet a year due to our schedule), but each time we meet, we can never finish catching up, and chatting just keeps on going....We're the sort that will like the same things in life, and chances are might end up buying same things as well.....but both of us are the direct opposite in character, and we are always laughing that the other half we marry is so much like each other.....that's us!!

I've the chance to meet up with her for lunch late last week....and was indeed a happy time cause i haven't seen her since many months ago, and since when she found out she has a little one coming on the way.....she is embarking of this wonderful journey of being 1st time mom, and i can't be any happier for her. I get to meet her lil bump as well.....5 months along, and i'm waiting to the day i meet her lil girl......Here's some photos taken with my Iphone, and i told her must take photos cause i want her to be in my Project Life.....and so is that bump of hers.....lol...It also happens that the day we meet was "International Friendship Day"!!!....

& lunch was at The Ship at Nex. & it brings me back to when i was younger where my dad will bring me to The Ship at International Building....remembering the good ol days, and as long as it's western...i'll opt for steak....& both of us like our steak - well done....yes to many it's like rubber...but as long as we don't see blood, we're good....lol

To my dear bestie - Wendy, thank you for being in my life, and for all these years even though I don't see you as often as i love to, that you're there for me. To all these wonderful years of friendship, and definitely growing old with you....gracefully that is....Love ya bestie!!

Over last weekend......

We ate....my all time favourite cupcakes from Twelve Cupcakes....

We scrapped with great company....my 2 favourite people......Kay & G scrapping seriously....

We washi our way through our scrapping pieces.....Kay's a fan like me of washi tapes....

We walked around my parent's neighbourhood in the evening where they have this new place opened called - The Greenwich.....love the atmosphere there.....& we found they have Awfully Chocololate there.....yums!!

Can't believe that one weekend flies by so quickly, as well as this week practically whizzes past and since it's a short 4 day work week, I'm welcoming the long weekend with open arms. It always means with public holidays, total family time which we need for the 3 of us. It's often just me and Kay spending our weekends together, and often without Jayce so that's the downside sometimes to him building the father and son relationship which is as important as the relationship I share with my little guy. Haven't thought about where we will be going, or what we will  be doing, just as long as it's the 3 of us.

Till my next post, have a happy Easter and a long weekend!!!

& the RAK goes to.....

JOYCE!! Congratulations, and please send me your mailing address to: tanyinwen@gmail.com, and the RAK will be mailed out to you very soon.

Hope to be back soon with more updates on my Project Life, and my SMASH journal as well. I've finally started SMASHING....along with the rest.

Have a Happy Thursday!!

Friends are always good for the soul.....

No doubt each time whenever I get the meet my close friends, it always does wonders to my heart, and naturally makes me so happy. Be it seeing familar faces, or spending that precious amount of time, it always makes me feel blessed to just have my dear friends. It does look like I really have to have time with my friends other then my beloved family, and my dearest little guy.

Just last weekend, I've spent great time G after months of last seeing her.....and this time I had the chance to bring Kay with me......I must tell you just how much Kay adores her to the extent that he wants to go home with G...LOL...G's really very good with him.

Here's us in the car on our way to meet G at Raffles City......for lunch & a visit to the LSS....


All that fun at lunch....and a catch up for us at Watami.....

& thanks Aunt G for this uber cute durian suitcase which is his 3rd in his collection. He has already gotten the apple & watermelon suitcase from his previous visit to the LSS.......He proclaims that this is now his "work" bag.

And with all that good time with G, she's also gotten me my very 1st SMASH journal. Thanks dear. Am surely going to start SMASHING within it, although I've been thinking about what I would like to journal about (since my Project Life records our everyday, and I still love Project Life for the very reason why i started, and I wanted to keep my SMASH journal to record other stuff)......definitely about the one true love in my life, my dear little guy - Kaylen!! Still has yet to iron out what about Kay should go into my SMASH journal, and how to decorate my cover page.....

& how can i not get the other SMASH products to go along..............seriously smashed a big hole in my wallet for sure!! Love SMASH so much that I grabbed some of the SMASH items and the SMASH theme baby journal for my close pal, Wendy who is embarking on her journey to motherhood.....how exciting!!!

My last weekend's been great even though I had only 1 weekend day with Kay as I needed to work through my last Saturday, but it still feels great to still spend that day with him and G.

Looking forward to more of my time spent with my friends soon.....seriously need to get down to allocating my time to spend time with them soon.

RAK Giveaway.....

It's about time my scrap area needs a tidy....and as well as the rest of my house since we can't seem to keep up with tidying up, cleaning up the house. We've decided after the longest time to engage cleaning professionals to come take care of this since Jayce is already working 7 days a week, and really I've a superb hubby that takes care of the house stuff to the best he can, and i too have no further energy at the end of each day to do housework like cleaning the window and grills, dusting, mopping, disinfecting etc, so we're leaving that in the hands of the experts.

So now i have to just take charge of my scrap area. So while the cleaning lady is cleaning away, there I was clearing up my scrap desk. Even my Project Life basket of supplies is getting out of hand, and calling out for attention to be packed, and the overflowing of washi tapes from the basket (decided to go through the washi tape, and select which ones i wanted to use for my Project Life, but it also seems after the sorting to still look as much...lol)

Here's my space before packing .......


It's also very very quiet around the house since it's only me and the cleaning lady (other then the vacumming), and Kay was off for his morning Chinese lessons, it's going to be pretty much a leisure Saturday morning from now on for me (even though I had no choice to just be away from Kay that couple of hours), but at least we now have a much dust free home which Kay needs badly cause he has super sensitive nose, skin and lungs since young. So before having to go to work in the afternoon, I spent just a short half an hour after clearing up the desk to continue further into my Week 8 of Project Life.....hope to complete Week 8 by Sunday.....Here's just one part....I happen to fall in love with chevron design stuff.....even toying with the idea to get chervon paper gift bags from the Etsy store for Kay's upcoming 5th Birthday goodie bag....

And as promised....A much needed RAK Giveaway....it's been ages since my last RAK, so a mix of brands....some spools of ribbons, washi tapes, pearls and blings!! So leave me a comment by Wednesday, and I'm annouce the winner on Thursday, 29th March.

Have a great Saturday you all while I look forward to going home to see my lil guy, and looking forward to Sunday where I get to spend more time with Kay, as well as meeting up my dear dear pal G for a shopping trip at the LSS!!

Onward march with Project Life....

Enjoying the ride on the Project Life wagon, and never looked back, and never pondered upon the fact from the very 1st when i started out that i might give up due to time. I'm so glad to embark on this journey, and this has enabled me to journal so much more then the past, and i love having to have my feelings documented out. I always think it's hard to pen down my thoughts, and that's why i didn't even tried to in the past when I scrap, but since starting with Project Life, it has become loads easier.

I've been progressing well in the last 2 weeks, and it seems to get easier as the weeks go by cause the creative juices just flows (thankfully no blocked up minds) and so far this week, I'm already starting on Week 8.

Here are my earlier weeks of 5, 6 & 7.....

Week 5.......

Week 6......

Week 7.....it did get a little tougher to work on the end of this week cause just looking at the photos of Kay been so ill, it was just so heart breaking.....my baby having to suffer.....

I get my inspiration for Project Life from so many other Project Lifers like Leena, Irene, Dorcas & Merdrey....i love love their style......

Hope to get further into my week 8 tonight cause the last few nights I didn't get the energy to progress as much as i would love to....so hopefully work on some stuff tonight....

Have a beautiful Wednesday!!

The last week.....

Had been the best week for me since it's the school holiday week.....even though it's not packed daily with activities as much as I would love to, but at least we get a couple of days to just spent it with him and I've just had a long weekend where it's only the both of us.....yipee!!

Here's what we have been up to last week.....

Visit to the Cybertron Convention at Resort World Sentosa....and as you can see that look on his face, he really doesn't like to be there.....I've got a little guy who likes Transformer, but at the same time terrified....hmmmm



Instead a trip to the candy store is what he likes, especially the trolleys they have that he pushes around the whole store......weee heeee....

A trip to Marks & Spencer, and how much he just loved the Easter Eggs......

Some simple fun time at home with him.....

New toy from Grandpa.....

Easter cupcake baking classes at Bonheur Patisserie at Duxton Road.....cute lil store and very nice people.....

Some more fun at home with my washi tapes again.......i'm just amazed how much he enjoys these tapes.....rolling them around the floor can sent him giggling.....geezzzz.....

For those with lil ones, i believe you had as much fun as i did spending the time with them during the last one week.......

Hope to be back soon with more updates on my Project Life!!!
