The new happy corner!

These are past arrangement of my table.

I like them all, but as I added more things on my table and make it more functional for myself, I'm loving it more. I also added more art, more prints to my table.

Today, I rearranged it again and added some more things to it, and I feel it's at its best now!

Let me show some of the new additions first.

I made this felt place mat in less than 5 minutes.

I wanted something for my happy jar and stuff to sit on, to make it feel more cosy so I found some grey felt and cut it into a cloud shape and tadah! I've got a new place mat for my table!

I think it's really simple and pretty. Loving it!

I added a photo bunting for my otherwise plain whiteboard. I don't write on it anyway, so might as well have a photo bunting on it to clip my polaroids on.

I had always wanted to display all my colourful washi tapes on the table so that it will encourage me to use them more often. I took out the roll of plastic wrap and used the centre. (What do you call it?) 

I put a string across it, slot in all my washi tapes and hang it off my whiteboard!

I also made a washi tape art to hang on my window.
The colours are bright, the message is clear.
I love it!

I'm really loving the whole look and feel of my table now!

Don't you think it look so colourful and cheerful?

It makes me very happy!

So happy news!

I just found out from Leonard that he is now attached with the girl he has been "chasing" so hard over the years!
now patience and perseverance really do help!
I'm so happy for him!

This really added much happiness and joy to my christmas.
Really really good news!

This makes me very very happy.

During parent-teacher meeting today a parent told me: 
"Alex has been telling me Teacher Caroline say we must be alert and listen to instruction and we must care and share. So sometimes when his sister doesn't share, he will complain to me that Meimei never care and share. So it's good, thank you for teaching him this!"

Awesome!

Faith (born 22 March 2009) & I (born 22 March 1987)

I found out today that Little Faith shares the same birthday as me and I was SO excited about it!
She is such a lovely girl and I always wished she was my daughter!
And to find out that she shares the same birthday as me.... really makes me very very happy!
I realised I always have very good relationship with children born near my birthday.

Joshua (born 21 March 2007)

Joshua from my class was born 1 day before my birth date and we are also very close to each other.

Arians and March babies are awesome or what?
hee hee

Stamping fun!

I bought some erasers and some mini carving chisels...
and I craved my own stamps!!

Yes! Today is awesome so smile!

Gratitude Night!

I am so so so thankful for tonight! (6th November)

My awesome classmates and friends organised a positive network event where we bring our friends together and we share positive vibes with them.
Tonight, the theme was Gratitude, and boy, were there lots of thanks and joy!

We talked to other people, share about what we were thankful for for today, and it was so much joy and pleasure being in the room, even the air in there smelt so much better!

I am so happy that Yokeleng and Jean were able to join me and Jean even brought a friend along!

It was so nice and somehow, positive people can just clique with one another!
We all just talked and mingled with each other so well!

There was just too much joy in there!!

Look at the photos!!

SO much happiness right??

Very very very thankful for tonight!!

thoughts thoughts

sometimes it's really funny how our thoughts all turn to reality.
I meant seriously. I know I have said this for a few times. but I am always amazed by it, again and again.

The best boy friend's birthday is round the corner and I have not seen that busy man for like probably a year!
oh man.
And I was thinking like when he is gonna be finally free to meet me for dinner and chat and catching-up.
But because I know he has been really busy so I didn't want to text him too soon you see.
SO
on Friday morning, I got an early morning text from him, asking him about some contractor lobang (his house's kitchen tiles popped up and he needs to retile his whole kitchen and wanted to find a reliable contractor) and so cause my dad is a contractor himself, I was the one to look for right? heh heh
SO
he woke me up with a good chat with my eyes half closed. and in the end, we decided to meet for dinner that night because his girlfriend is out with her friends and he is FREE to meet!
of course I said YES!
hahaha!
People who know me well will know that I am (still) in love with this best boy friend of mine (HAHA!) and of course I won't say no to him.
He's the kind of like, I love him forever brother best friend kind of best friend.
It's one of my biggest blessing in this life to have him as my long time best friend.
I know I can count on this man, any time. hee hee.

alright, I know I sidetracked quite a bit.
Anyway, I was just thinking about him because his birthday was coming and I haven't met him for a long time and there he is, with a happy morning message and we finally got to meet!
Haha, Happy thoughts, Happy things!

Thoughts Number Two Story.

Alton, the pilot, has been away in Perth for his flying training for more than a year and we have been keeping in contact via facebook and msn since. This nice guy will sometimes send me some really nice pics he take high up on the plane or some really nice sunset pictures.
Just about a month ago, I got a whatsapp message from him, announcing his return to Singapore for a month.
So we were supposed to meet up for dinner or something. and it has been on my mind.
But being so sick for weeks, I haven't really met anyone lately.
And when I just got a little better this week, I suddenly remembered I haven't met him and he is already going back on Monday!
THEN
When I was catching up on my sleep this afternoon, I woke up to a message from him asking how I was.
He knew that I haven't been well.
So we chatted for a short while on whatsapp.
No, we're not meeting this time cause it's too rush.


It's really funny how sometimes our thoughts are turned into actions so instantaneously.

But a friend told me that both parties have to be "connected" and it has to be of a good intention then these thoughts will happen.

This is already my dont-know-how-many encounter of thoughts turning into reality.
And I am stronger believer of it since.

:)

What a happy mid-autumn!

We started our mid-autumn day with some really good fruit tarts.

No prize for correct guess.

We really enjoyed!

It was a food day, so we went for Cookin' NANTA!

The show was awesome!

It was entertaining, funny and full of laughter!

Because no photography was allowed, I only had this picture of the stage before show started.

While waiting to get out of Sands Theater, we took a quick snap by the mirror.

We were friends since we were nine!

16 years!!

And we were just in time for the water/laser show.

Yes, it was my first time watching it.

I know I am that sua ku.

And the moon was exceptionally round and bright tonight.

It has to be right?

hee hee

Almost as bright as the street lights!

We went over to Singapore Flyer for Popeyes and chatted outside till almost midnight.

It really nice having such awesome friends to chat with, about anything and everything!

One day is just not enough!

I didn't have any mooncake, neither did I carry any lantern.

But I still had a very enjoyable mid-autumn.

Next mid-autumn, I will have someone to carry lantern, enjoy mooncake and pomelo, and watch the moon together with.

hee hee.

A good new week is coming!

Embrace!
