Rock It

firstly, i'm very much happy to be sitting here and blogging because that only means i survived my first ever run!!! after an exercise hiatus of six years (yes, i kid you not), i finally decided to do something that would stretch my physical limits. trust me i was freaking out having not trained at all due to the lack of time or more so, lack of willpower prior to the run but i surprised myself by running for about 5km!

now knowing i will ache for the next 10 days, let me just share with you a rockin' find. can you guess what these are?

you may find a variety of designs from here and here! i'm so stocking up on up these for the new loo (hint)!

have a good (non-aching) week ahead folks ;)

Via Think Splendid

We are off to a busy weekend yet again : |

Shall leave you with some wise words from Liene:

"amateurs add, professionals edit"

Ciao, wishing all readers a fun weekend!

TGIF!

what are your weekend plans? i will be attending a peejay party (!) to celebrate the birthday of a 2 year old girl (not this one below, haha ;)

it's T-7 days to official move-out day :(

Busy as Bumble

apologies for the hiatus...been pretty busy preparing stuff for the info session this weekend as well as maintaining ze blog (the backstage stuff!). as i'm preparing to launch the new twc website, there's a lot to do i.e. resize my previous pictures posted for eg and the write ups mostly. time seems to be as luxurious as a bentley these days, and passing by as fast too! it's june can you believe it!?

okay do look out for some pretty tangerine gifts we wrapped up (weeks ago in fact, haha procrastination seems to be my cca these days) and our Dessert Bar feature in the coming week ;)

eggciting

i shall leave you with this to draw inspiration from;

not a fan of the carpet but its lovely how the purple and dirty yellow chairs, blue ceiling and deep gold curtains hold it all together

Blogging on my Bed, It's a Lazy Sunday

i can't believe the weekend is almost gone! but anyways, i was semi-productive yesterday having emailed what i needed to email and planned what i needed to do for the upcoming website. it might take quite a while more before we launch it so bear with this blog for the moment! what i achieved yesterday was also to finalize the date of our next informational session. so look out for our post this coming week!

also it was an exciting monday for us back this week when our Project V dessert bar made it to Amy Atlas' Blog. check it out here for those who missed it.

okay have a good week ahead ya'll ;)

What's Up for the Weekend?

we've been busy developing the website of late and attending to other stuff we had to abandon during project v prep. the dessert bar pictures will be up by next week, i promise! in the meantime, i'm hoping the weather will not ruin my weekend outdoor plans. plus, it's been cow-uite awhile since i ate some of these!

what will you be eating this weekend?

Back to Work

for most of us, it's back to work - luckily for a 3 day week! for us here at TWC, we are currently preparing for a family event end of the month. only in such circumstances are we able to 'experiment' with certain color combinations. so watch out for that! apart from this exciting project, i can't wait to indulge in some good Mediterranean/Mideastern inspired cuisine prepared for the event.

have a good week ahead, only 3 days towards another weekend :)

Saturdays Like Mondays in TWC

(from martha, i think)

no surprise but we're still organizing our inventory, i can't believe how much we've accumulated over the years. as a part-time enterprise, we probably house assets that reflect a full time company! anyways, we can't wait to show you the final outcome of project clear-up. a few items are up for sale as well...so while i find time to create a pretty poster for our sell-aways...

we wish you a colorful weekend ahead ;)

Longest Weekend Ever

westside adventures - pictures coming up soon

Weekend Summary

to catch up on lost hours over the week, i insisted on getting up from bed at 11ish on saturday. while the parents visited a food fair (disappointing i heard), i spent my 1 hr of saturday morning eating marks&sparks chocolate digestives and reading through Today Weekend - damn those bombers.

decided to pick up the camera and shoot the latest invites we made but cam battery died on me even before i could inspire myself with any good angles.

so anyways, while heading westside in the evening i realised queenway station doesn't exist - only queenstown. its been 5 years since those b to bv daily train rides took place! so before heading to portsdown, we thought we'd go spruce instead (it's at tanglin rd morticia - were we even close? ahhah!) since i was craving for something more than dessert. unable to locate spruce we made our way to choupinette eventually. more like finally ;)

my adventure to the west concluded with dinner at btp. towards the end i craved for familiarity and made my way to good ol' town for some book browsing! this was when i reunited with loeb classical library classics! its still on the shelves and i still do not own any!!!

someday perhaps - okay i'm going to be sleeping in the toilet tmr if i don't sleep now. its cycle no.8 out of 11 at ze bank. yuck.

a perfect weekend home

Chanel

audrey tautou exudes muliebrity and grace in the latest Chanel N°5 film directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. i absolutely love the hair, clothes and orient express inspired theme. Be inspired here.

Helvetica

i want to watch Helvetica





oh so crazy over typography!

Weekend in Color

christian lacroix: the costumier

rich textures and colors contrasted against a darkened gallery - the works of legendary french designer christain lacroix comes to life! as crazy as it may look sometimes, you can't help but be mesmerized with lacroix's ability to marry the different textures of various materials onto one outfit, easily transforming them into works of art. 

included in the gallery were dramatic backdrops for vanity snapshots - may i introduce you to my parents.

my own colorful adventure began yesterday, done with the semester my mini library project got underway. inspired by similar ideas online, i decided to color-code my bookshelf as well. usually organized by genres, it's refreshing to see unrelated subjects sitting next to the other on the shelf!

Cairnhill

a splash of color against a sea of white plus a 'hairy' dais/pelamin - the general feel la i guess. more pictures later, i am too exhausted!

Oh Valentino

by Kate Spade

HAHA, if you're dating a Mat from Malaysia, perhaps this would be an appropriate V-DAY greeting for him!

for those who found love - you celebrate Valentines Day, for those still in search of a soulmate, no you DO NOT celebrate 14th Feb as SAD (Single Awareness Day), but as Rafael's Day.

would ya be moi Rafa?!

Advertising

ad of the week for me ;)

Reward Thyself

it's when your to-do list demands another page and/or your inboxes flood with emails, will you somehow find very good reasons to do anything else unrelated to those pending tasks! i hate myself sometimes. to help curb this pathetic tendency, i'm putting in place an immediate-reward system.

this week's reward?
Revamp the Bookshelf
Hawaiian Host Chocolate Coated Macadamia
(only once i've completed all of this week's tasks)!


taken from Habitually Chic - a color coded bookshelf?

happy weekend ya'll ;)

Good Morning Sunday

barça matches should be played at 2100hrs CET. that way i can enjoy my sunday or monday mornings like today, like this.

that baby girl was at the match this morning. she's just so cute dressed in complete pink baby barça wear! if i had a daughter, she'd don that on football weekends


hotcake-face salivates syrup!


okay i obviously cannot get enough of her! hahaha! all culés were that happy this morning =)
damage done and i'm loving the sunday morning sun.


alright off to a meeting now =) adeu...

Change

is the only constant

change ourselves
change for the better

start this weekend.

Saturday False Alarm

it's here again. since thursday, i thought thursday and today was saturday. but i'll get it right tomorrow. haha! the weekend will be packed with backlogged work & meetings - the FLU has caused the most inconvenient delays. with work that needs to be done, i should feel compelled to hope for more hours in a day but i'm looking forward to the year's end that i don't wish for a day to last more than 24hrs.

the virus it seems, affected my mood (recall that lack of inspiration mention in my previous post) but i'm feeling way better now. how? Hawaiian Host! yes, chocolate and the most amazing macadamia nuts can rescue you from gloom. say aloha!

happy weekend =)
