Just Because

Just Because I wanted a permed hairstyle for CNY 2012, I went ahead and bought the hair voucher from one of those online deals.


Unfortunately the actual service did not deliver as promised on the voucher. In fact, it was short-changed. On top of that, you have to top up for hair cut and a better product.

Nevertheless, I went ahead with it. I just top up $40 for the hair cut.


Altho I did my hair at the salon, I didn't buy their products. Cos it's tad far from where I live & work. So this morning, I went down to my neighbourhood salon. And I was recommended this set which set me back by at least $100. *roll eyes*

So here I am, waiting & hoping the products can enhance & maintain the curls. Then come CNY 2012, it will look naturally curly-beautiful for me.

Orange Christmas


This is a Christmas pressie from one of the Empress Dowager's home owners. It is similar to the one I made many moons ago.

Since she has no use for it, I will use it while I wash mine.

Winter Solstice 2011

According to the Lunar Calendar, the Winter Solstice (冬至) is one month before the next Lunar New Year.

So today is the Winter Solstice 2011.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I dunno whether to laugh-out-loud, scream, faint or roll eyes. Cos the Empress Dowager dunno how to make the "yi" (read: tang yuan  汤元).

Think I will do all....

*Agnes had just fainted from rolling her eyes too much until she fell off the chair screaming her lungs out. Only to realize she had fallen into a pool of "tang yuan" with peanut n sesame fillings which sent her laughing like a hyena.*

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So in the end, I went to buy the 3-in-1 Rice Balls from MrBean.


which I had managed to introduce to GC.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Yes, I am trying to bring back / introduce the traditional things into the Tan Family.

Going Digital

This kit reminded me of the kits which I used to subscribe from My Favourite Memories, back in 2006-2007


Especially this LO.

So after mulling over it for a few minutes, I decided to buy it.

This will be the first Christmas Present for me where my digi-sb is concerned. Cos I have a few items in my TwoPeas shopping cart, waiting for me to click-click-click.
