give me wings!

Its been almost two weeks into 2011! How is everyone faring so far? :) I've been tying to manage my time better this year, so I've given myself eight hours slots for the most important things in my life -- family and friends (which involves Facebook, Twitter and blogging), work and sleep! Work and sleep dominate, and I get whatever time and energy I have left for catching up with things (which isn't very much by the end of each day).

Deep down inside me, I want to be free. Free from routine and all the boring (but not the fun!) grown-up stuff. And maybe that is the cause of my obsession for wings and feathers lately.

I bought this at the Parliament boutique on Christmas Eve...

 ...only to break it on my first wear (this ALWAYS happens to me)!

And I couldn't leave the Sydney Antique Store without getting myself something(s) from Tammy's store. We chatted a little and Tammy explained that she gets her vintage items from the States (so we don't have to take the trouble flying there!). Also, we both decided that our English accents were a little messed up from all that living abroad. Haha.

Tammy had just put this cute pendant on display at her store when I came along and fell in love with it!

My favourite was little Pegasus! I couldn't leave him behind now, could I? 

Some highlights from last week:

• scabies alert!! kevin (from the sydney trip) has gotten scabies from his accommodation in sydney and i am so paranoid right now. every itch or tickle is like, 'oh no, its SCABIES!!'
• i was mentioned in liling's blog for being a source of inspiration. seriously? haha.
• i'm super excited about meeting evelyn from evelyn unplugged and that starbucks pilgrimage she has planned out for us next month (we don't have starbucks in canberra)!  
• i've also been spending more time with the parentals and friends thanks to that eight hour slot, which makes me very happy! :)
• also found out that drinking milo in the morning still gives me a tummy upset :( i am so gastrologically fussy!
• my bestie julynn from the juleth dimension takes photos so amazing they look almost fake! she's just moved over to singapore so i've been visiting her blog more often just to see what she's been up to!
• oh, and also...mumu is being quarantined -- just in case he has scabies too :(

I've been bogged down with work lately. Hopefully these lot of experiments I have been doing work out well, and then I can get some time off to visit yous and also reply your comments!

happy hump day! xo

PS: Thank you Kim Harris, Reut and Tropical Mum for the follow! :)
