Personal Favourite I took of My Baby Girl

Hope Everyone is doing great this Sunday night :) Sadly, the Music World has lost another wonderful singer, Whitney Houston. I grew up listening to her songs and could even remember some of the lyrics to her music. One favourite is, I Wanna Dance with Somebody. May She Rest in Peace :)

Hope the new week ahead will be great for Everyone. Stay Safe and Enjoy the Little Things in Life :) *Hugs*

I Love You

The Black Pin Project

First Mini Album 2012

2012-01-12T18:00:00.002+08:00

So I've gotten to know quite a number of people on Instagram and it's amazing how thru daily photos you could get to know one a little better. Strange...because in reality, we're all Strangers to each other ;)

Her Birthday is coming up soon and from the pictures she keeps posting of Spanish soccer player, Xavi Hernandez, I knew what I wanted to gift her. Photos of Xavi printed off the websites I found and a simple little Mini Album was born. And weirdly enough, after getting this Mini complete, I had a dream about this man! Hehehe...

Hopefully she'll enjoy this when it gets to her :)

Valentine Card
still early,but a request from a friend from IG

Altered Notebook

have you altered something today? :D

The weather has been Iffy lately, but the Sky is Gorgeous today!
Instagram shot, Thursday 12.1.12

What have you been up to since Day 1 of 2012? I have been Inspired lately to paint and sew and mostly, Scrapbook! It's great to get things done :) It's not all talk and nothing gets done. Phew! Also happy to get my Art Journal going. Hopefully the pages will be filled up within this month so I can get a second Art Journal started. Hopefully...

And of course, I take more than A Photo A Day!!! Instagram has been really awesome and Groovie :D So much Inspiration there from Friends all over the world and especially the Arts, I am amazed by the Tattoo Artists and Doodlers.

And Best News this year thus far is my eldest girl getting her O Level results and Yayy...plenty of As and a few Bs and she scored A Distinction for her A Math!!! I'm a Proud Umie indeed! She did it all on her own without any tuition and spending all night studying during exam period. She has been hired to Tutor Math and truly, what a Blessing :)

Leaving it up to her to make a choice between College and Polytechnic. Oh my...they sure do grow up too fast!!!

Have a wonderful weekend and Enjoy♥

Love Is Bliss

It's October 31st and for those celebrating, Happy Halloween! Boo!!!

exams are still on and i'm truly lucky to have been appointed as an Invigilator during this final year exams at a local University :) feeling very "Teacher" like, also "Nanny" like babysitting the young adults...hehe but I'm truly Thankful for the opportunity.

the past 2 weeks wasn't so great for me, kids had high fever, one after another and then passed to me who had fever & chills and even though feeling better today, i'm dealing with a ghostly white tongue and a terrible sore throat :( but hopefully will recover fully soon.

just 2 more weeks until school shuts for this year and kids will be enjoying time off from books and homework! looking forward to a vacation and wherever we end up, as long as we have a good time :) and then back to Reality...hehehe

Thanks for coming by, hope you're all doing great. Take Care and enjoy the last day of October and have a Wonderful Time when November comes :)

No Connection
arghhh...it's been frustrating the past few weeks having trouble with internet connection and service from our ISP. Thankfully for 3G from iphone it's easy to check emails and other stuff. but to blog...the keys are too tiny for me! hehe...

hoping to get the issue resolved as ISP has acknowledged the problem since they've been getting lots of complaints! and the best way to clear my mind, is by looking up, see the Sky and snapping these...

taken on Instagram this morning during Sunrise :)

Day 4, January 2011

ever since i had this app on my iPhone, i've been addicted to instagram! seeing photos captured around the world and getting this message from them, it's an Honour because there are over 1 million users there and my photos has made to the Popular page 4 times :D

hope the New Year started great for you. we had the flu and cough and i've been getting books, bags and shoes and uniforms settled for 1st day of school today. my Little Anis starts Primary school today... they're all growing up much too soon!

and with Good News, making Popular @ instagram was thrilling plus being asked to be published in a future scrapbooking website is awesome too!

May Everyone have a Fabulous and Groovie 2011!
Peace and ♥♥♥

Hi! it's already Day 9 of Ramadan. so far so good :) hope you're doing great too. weather has been warm and rainy on certain days. but it's been nice and sunny this lovely Thursday. like every year, the Ramadan Bazaar @ Geylang is big and often boasts of great food, choice of traditional clothes for Hari Raya and many more! the atmosphere is lovely but could get pretty crowded especially after break of fast ;)

some photos taken on Sunday afternoon...

as you can see, the bazaars are on both sides.
there's more down the road...

taking a break :)

hubby was excited seeing Halal Duck :D

it's also been a busy and tiring week. up @ 5am for breakfast and trying to stay strong until 7.15pm daily. Umie has been busy in the kitchen and we're just Thankful for everything.
