The one with gongxifacai!
@ home with Dan and our pals for an after-reunion gathering, sneaking a post while the guys go n smoke
Volunteered for Chao Yang sch's activity this CNY eve. Chao Yang provides education to kids with special needs, n has been our adopted charity over the last few years. The kids there, sweet.
Enjoyed a school performance first thing this morn.. Mmm I miss this!
Then the kids n us headed to Lao yu sheng next...
Though the catered yu sheng looks seriously crappy, the kids really seem to enjoy themselves a lot
I look like I'm enjoying too rite?
Oh n there was this ultra sweet little gal Jieying I met
She has these large eyes n sat demurely throughout,made no noise, n ate her stuff very very slowly
aww.. & she will nod at everything you say
"does it taste good?" *nods*
"is it cold?" *nod*
We kept taking pics cos she is soo sweet
(& I luv my Royal Purple dress with embroidery, which i just collected from Design Closet)
In fact she melted Dan the-kids-hater , til he even said he won't mind having a daughter like her cos she really touched him
Oh it's a whole miracle coming from him, he never liked kids & never knew how to interact with them
But he was snapping away at us
Ok but no sweat folks
We are still not thinking of kids yet
Alrite! So there was also a lion dance performance arranged for the ChaoYAng kids.
N I was amazed at how graciously these kids gave cheers to the performers
Each time the lions struck a pose
They gave spontaneous loud cheers
N they, in a charmingly uncomplex way, were no afraid to express happiness, fear, curiosity n amazement
I love this shot by Dan that shows it all
This is what make the kids special.
*******
oh and of course there was the reunion dinner with Dan's family .. It's my 3rd year joining them, no surprises in a nice way
Except that I think my dad-in-law is absolutely cool
If I haven't told you, he is one of the most rational persons I've met, n he has been practically the only elder who doesn't subscribe to template expectations of married couples having to immediately think of having kids next
We know he silently desires but he believes he shd leave the decision to us
So this year, this dinner, Dan's sweet grandma invited the church's pastor to join us for dinner.
N the pastor made a mistake of trying to put words in grandma's mouth, when she gave out angpows; she went "ur grandma wants to say next year bring one more! "
But even when I was only midway rolling my here-we-go-again eyes at Dan, his dad jumped to our defense n questioned her "did my mum say that?"
N he did it in a way we could laugh it off. Trust that he could pull off anything having dealt with idiots from italy to indonesia.
Dont get me wrong, I don't think that pastor has ill intentions n I see her good points. But I see pastors as humans who make mistakes too n she has made one together with plenty of kaypoh aunties in my department. N recently I have taken to telling them off straight in the face for bugging me about my private life. Seriously, do u NEED me to tell u that whether I m pregnant yet or if I want kids is none of ur business?
N I'm thankful that dad-in-law got me out of a spot cos I know I shd never tell a dinner- guest Pastor off

The one with the count
And I used to think that it was terrible to buy a piece of new clothing each week
But in the first month of this year, I bought more than 30 pieces of clothing!
Shall stop, promise
This is just a one time wardrobe revamp
Oh.. Oh! My new year resolution was to stop wearing black all the time
Lol
I love my macha ice-cream lil oyster @ waraku today
XZzz
Mmhzzz
Ok those were alien noises
I took so long to switch back to human mode
That Dan turned into stone
Ahaha!

Feb 11's Instyle
Feb 11's InStyle, just in case u were wondering if it's worth the price.. But do note to get the original US version, which does not state the country ;)
Cover gal's already worth it
Natalie Portman..
Swing dress with shrunken blazer. My type of nice
Saw a feature of a pair that looks like my CNY pumps from Anna Nucci
Nice? I luv them n they only cost me like $33
Okay this is quirky cute..
Tempted to infuse denim, but I'm concern about whether the outfit still works when the denims are off in this mad climate
I'm gonna try n get an "inspired" version of this vintage fun piece. Fun but not at Kate Spade prices
Marc Jacobs
I would love a short version of this
Interesting Victorian Trevi-like bag. Dun worry, Trevi, I still love u
Wouldn't it be nice? Nail strips!
Still flipping though. Will post if more good stuff comes up

The one with A PILE OF CLOTHES
From just the last 2 weeks, and not including those that I wore and are in the laundry
TELL ME WHEN TO STOP
TELL ME WHEN TO STOP
The one with bro-zie's birthday
Walup?
Been sooo busy with CNY! & I'm becoming a true blue auntie haunting the Chinatown new year market almost daily for the best pineapple tarts n bah kwaa n cutesy ang pow packets.
Yaaa I know I have to pow ang pow now. Very funny. stop laughing at the fact that I do.
****
Went Jack's Place, cos Bro-zie turned 21. I remember how we threw huge 21 bday bashes but his was surprisingly low key. Mature dude just hung out with his pals one day n family the next
Got him a blackberry at his request, so that he can go zhng it for dreadful NS later this year. Can't believe my bro-zie turned 21 n is going to NS, seems like just yesterday he was the kid I spent my pathetic tuition earnings on just to go to the UK fair
Scary how time flies after it crawls
4 out of 5 Wangs using iphone, one is of course holding it
My dad is arrogant cos his iPhone 4 can do things his kids' 3GS can't
My dad pulled the usual Jack's place tradition to embarass birthday Bro-zie (cos he is like besties with the owner) :
Cake served with birthday song played over their PA system
Lol poor bro-zie
But he is a good sport
Erm.. Dunno what the bro-in-law doing
Perhaps jealous.. Haha
I guess simple things r nice too..
Had a little creative streak today using my Chanel gift ribbon to accesorize
Cos the ribbon is too pretty to waste , n I'm too broke to buy more accessories
Then took it a step further to tie it on a black bangle set I never wear
Reuse & recycle!
Got 2 sweet gifts from Dan this week
Despite me being the most remorseless spendthrift who receives packages daily from blogshopping!
Ok I do feel bad & I'm gonna stop
Cos of the nicest Juicy Couture studs!
Packaging slayed me.. Completely
& I fell in love with this MiuMiu clutch which the shop owner got from Italy. Okay I don't stalk MiuMiu boutique so I don't really know if they carried this
But I love the colour n the elegance
& Dan said to get it cos knowing me when I whore at things, say "I'd think about it", go home, regret, n it would be gone after I made up my mind to buy it.
Or maybe, it's the non-stop whining when it happens that he hates.. Hah
Aww
I shall target to make this my last piece in 2011. Zai hor? Putting my foot down in January.
Hah i can hear laughter...
bye..
