lazy hazy days





today we had a long long brunch with hannah at ps cafe at palais renaissance. i really like to go there, though not too often because i feel for the price the food is not great but for tea and cake it's an okay place - but i really love the decor; it's simple elements put together but the space is very uplifting and you can spend hours there. they were arranging fresh flowers in a huge vase when we came in; even the arrangement with just leaves is great in the space because the space is so simple. it was cool talking to hannah for quite a bit with easy conversation and we headed off to get a present for charlotte later.

yesterday we went to some bridal studios to start hunting; margaret from margaret bridal is so personal and nice. in the morning i went with ee jie to far east flora to get flowers for her practice bouquet for next weekend. we settled on white tulips and some small reddish wildflowers for a backdrop. the orchids there weren't very nice - the white ones were too big and the small ones were too yellow; initially she wanted orchids. tomorrow i have to buy white ribbons. i love ribbons and flowers. if i were a taitai i think i will be happy doing flower arrangments. maybe if i were a tai tai i will open a flower shop. but i don't think i can ever be a tai tai. haha.

next week will be super busy at work; ee jie's photoshoot with the family and the wedding itself. i have to start practicing the songs with hui because i'm the mc. work's super busy in that there are actually quite a lot to do these few days; i have to remind myself that i should put in my best and be positive about it all because i'm learning and i do like it- my choleric temperament sometimes lets people misunderstand that i'm not happy. so really as the year end comes i've to remind myself to be thankful for all i have - and i think i have alot in material and nonmaterial things and this afternoon we talked about resolutions with hannah and i think my new year's resolution will be that i spend more time with my parents and be more disciplined with my time and money so that i can give more to others and spend less on myself. it's always like this - the less you spend thinking about yourself the happier you will be. happiness is a contagious thing.
