of textiles and temples

rosie took us out to the ethnic quarters today.
the stb gang's a great bunch and after today,
i cant wait to spend the rest of the week with them! =D
first stop: lil india!
after a tummy-satisfying indian breakfast,
check out the gorgeous sarees.
(i have this thing about sarees..)visited a few places today:
indian temple
arab streetthe sultan mosque.and the buddha tooth relic temple in chinatown.did i mention that one thing i love about the lil red dot is that,
you can spend a day in so many different cultures anytime u fancy?
gotta run cos grandy's popping by with brownies for us now.
have a great great week! =D

spreadable biscuits

new jar of speculoos. =D

knit basics

knitting class with sa n nia today at knotty bicsie's.
we had a great time learning how to knit our mobile pouches with betsy today.
ah finally,
I can start knitting beyond the casting on stage.
(which i was only capable of before xD)
oh the possibilities..

knock on the door

just when i was thinking of what to cook tonight,
dinner arrives from next door. =)

megazip

This post is over a month late but still,
nia and randy generously let me tagged along on their lil adventure.
thanks to randy's brilliant suggestion,
we spent a great afternoon at the megazip!
(that's me being extremely happy to be tagging along =D)and randy too lazy to move anymore:nah kidding,
he was good!see how skilfully he handles the red balloon?nana too small... xpi almost fell off my tightrope when i saw her.
hee-hee! =Dbut hey, small's good too,
as she proves with her agile leap across: after we completed the three levels of obstacle course,
we all got to do the jump!
(kinda like peter pan walking the plank)last stop was the megazip flying fox itself.
nia and i got to do tandem.
i was happy cos its a first;
we each went alone for the bungy jump 7 years ago.
had a weird preconception that we might hit eachother. =\perfect ending.

another part of me

that's my twinnie. =)we're so different,
yet all the same.
mummi used to say if only she could mix us up like a ball of dough,
then split us up again,
we'll be perfectly balanced.
what an idea. =D21 years now,
she's been my playmate - from barbies to pretend and costumes and swanlake (cos we wanted to learn ballet but nv did),
my thrillseeker - fr monkeybars in babytime to jumping off cliffs together,
my avid fan and supporter - the only one who is actually willing to try my sometimes icky icky food experiments,my partner in crime - remember our tissue paper phase when we were 4? when we used to sneak into the kitchen to eat the paper towel? =D
my fellow foodie monster - who's the only one who'll finish the cheesecakes and pies and choc cakes with me, x)my late-night-still-can't-sleep companion - who'll share her bed with me as we sip green tea and watch movies on the laptop together,
and my literary side - who else actually writes you poetry when you're feeling sad? i'll do her math calculations and currency convertions anytime; she's been the linguistic half since we were lil.love her to bits. =))

look ma!

and our oven amazed me by accommodating mummy's dinner pizza today.
ok, the sides got folded a liiitttlle bit but,
wow!
i feel like a mother (me), proud of her lil baby (the oven)! =D
