Pullman Bakery

I have fallen in love with Pullman Bakery after watching "Baker King" (K-drama) two years ago. Though the male and female leads are not the super good-looking type, I really enjoyed this drama. Hee, I could smell the fragrance of the bread in the air while watching it, can you believe it?

Pullman Bakery (originated in Hokkaido) offers a variety and unique types of bread and pastries. My personal favourites are Bacon & Egg, Croissant, Hokkaido Milk Bread, Melon Chocolate Chip Bread and Butter Sugar Bread.

I hope there's a nice bakery like Pullman Bakery at our new office location.

Pink Ribbon

Can you spot the pink ribbon on my iPhone? Hee, I bought it while shopping for a iPhone case for my sister. It's really cute!

My 'Jesus Loves Me' stationery holder

I made this stationery holder at Clay-Street.com during a team-bonding activity with my department in 2010. It was really fun (but not as easy as I thought) to create something unique and personal from a lump of clay. Whenever I look at this clay holder (still sitting nicely on my office desk), it will remind me of my Heavenly Potter.

But now, O LORD, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all we are the work of Your hand. ~Isaiah 64:8


May my Heavenly Potter continue to mould me into the woman of God that He has called me to. Amen.

Textiles Major Bag

This bag (my third item from ModCloth) has finally arrived from the US! Though it is bigger than I have expected, I love it! :)

Cupcakes

I have not been buying Twelve Cupcakes for months as there was no craving...till today! I bought a box of six and I ate FOUR (raspberry choc, cookies & cream, red velvet and nutella)! Yummy! 

Daddy God, I pray that I will have no desire for sweet treats like cupcakes and donuts after these four cupcakes! Amen!


Online Shopping

As a working mother of two, I find it hard to shop leisurely in the malls. Recently, I have been shopping online more often.

I chanced upon this local online shop, My Glamour Place that sells pretty and reasonably-priced clothes. I bought two dresses and a blouse online but sad to say, one of the dresses and the blouse don't look good on me (they look very good on the model though)! Sigh, I had to give the two pieces away (see photo below). Well, it gave me the opportunity to remind myself that it's more blessed to give than to receive!


ModCloth (retro, indie, and vintage-inspired clothing styles) is an online shop based in US. They have a huge selection at their site! I really like their dresses so I bought two dresses under the $50 range. I received the dresses in a box last week. They look nice but I don't feel very comfortable in them. The pink dress is a bit low cut and the black dress has rather big armpit holes. I will still wear them with a tube underneath.   


After several attempts of online shopping, I still very much prefer local shops where I can try the clothes, look at myself in the mirror and feel the comfort level before deciding if I should buy. Yes, I am giving up on online shopping for clothes now.
