Patience

Basil's not doing too well. Maybe, it's because Basil's going through gender issues, what with us calling 'her' him, and him 'her' sometimes.

In our last attempt to save her (and earn ourselves some green-thumb badges), we gave her a pot transplant (more space for her wiggly roots to grow), fed her some medication (fertiliser tablets), and put her on life support (chopsticks!).

We hope this does her good. Her leaves are still kinda droopy but we are hoping for the best. Lights is very worried about her. For some strange reason, Basil and her seem to have founded a strange kind of feline-plantae bond.

I guess too, we have finally decided, Basil's a she.

One less thing for her troubled mind, now she can solely concentrate on recuperating!

New clothes!!

So excited about the purchases I bought from Zara!

This pencil skirt fits like a glove.

& this tulip dress is a dream. The perfect cut! Never had I ever had a dress that fit me so beautifully!

This season at Zara is literally, MY season. I collected a whole bundle full of clothes to try on within minutes! Jian and Aaron were probably disgusted with me. But, ai yai yai!


Now, if I had the excess ka-ching!, I would go on ahead and get me these other beauties:



The black version in this flattering cut, of course


This super flirty dress in my favourite colour

& this bag!



sigggghhhh~

The way to happy

I think, this is gonna be yet another fresh new start.

I am thoroughly amazed at how the chapters end and begin in my book.

Just this morning, I had the weight of a heifer on my shoulders.

The weight of a heifer I need not bear.

Tonight, I am light again!

I am feeling fantastic just sitting here in the comfort of my own room, thinking of the things I want to create/am gonna create, with Lights and Basil by my side.

Oh! Have I mentioned? Basil's our new plant pet and he smells absolutely lovely! I dare say Jian has mastered the skill of picking out simple + charming gifts.

I shall close this day and this chapter with a poignant quote from Jerry Greenfield:

"If it's not fun, why do it?"
