The joy of dressing up a gift. Isn't this lovely? And all these, except for my gold mesh, are recycled materials. Two Christmases ago, after seeing the amount of wrapping papers discarded after the holidays, I've decided to stay away from wrapping papers.
Well most of you who knows me probably heard about that.
And since then I've been using left over fabrics from my workshop for such purposes.
Here, I wrap first with a piece of burgundy satin (an offcuts from some curtain materials), then wrapped over again with gold mesh that I bought from Arab Street. No scotch tape is required too. Just bundle up with some matching color paper bindings that I've kept from some gifts that I received. For the finishing touch, a small bouquets of nylon flowers,. And even this could be reuse.

U come dress as your favorite artiste... or anything that represents your favorite genre. He of course will be Slash. But sorry no budget for leather jacket. Any sponsor? Anyone can loan him one?

Lol.... he loves to rick roll everyone. Daisy can be Dolly Parton. And myself, Dor suggested the 881 - the Papaya sister. LOL.. maybe Daisy can be Papaya sister with me...

Strawberry Orange Daiquiri, Anyone?

Image
2 super red, succulent strawberries and 1 orange. Cut it up and freeze it for an hour. Add aloe vera - super healthy! Add honey. Blend it and wala! Yummy delicious daiquiri is ready. Virgin thou. For those above 18 add a shot of rum and omit the honey And trust me, It's simply awesome! And what make this even more delicious is that it is prepared for me by my dear Bez! His special concoction, though i don't think he realise that it is quite like a daiquiri without the alcohol :-) I know I am bragging again, but really I think his future girlfriends will be very lucky cos he is cute, smart and he can cook! He plays the guitar too. But of course not forgetting he can be pretty boring, preferring to spend most of the time in front of the computer. And forgetful and not very organise. LOL

My Implants

Dr Lynn Yeo - www.lynnyeo.com.sg Its been 11 days after the implant... I am seeing fine now. Close vision still not too good but according to Dr. Yeo, my eyes are still adjusting. That probably explained the fact that at certain time of the day I see fine and some time, a little out of focus. For near sighted reading, it helps using a reading glass. At least for now; may gets better, may not. But thats just for reading. Otherwise everything else is ok. Can check out the cute guys, no problem :-) She also given me the green light to resume work out. So I am hitting the gym tonite! Yippee! Ok, the moment I mentioned implant, everyone's eye automatically move to u know where! No I don't need that! I am proudly well endowed :-) So I have this need to clarify. Its ICL or rather in my case, Toric ICL - implantable contact lens. Lasik is something I've always wanted. But unfortunately I am not medically qualified because of my thin and irregular cornea. I was so disap...
