July 12/13

It is a fantastic wkend.


Here's why:





1. My 2 boys' birthday - It is both Terence's 31st and Marco's 10th month birthday.


So you can imagine the love going around...





2. I went shopping! I actually had about 3 luxurious hours to shop by myself in town. Bought Terence a Hugo Boss watch [ very very nice!] and incredibly, tonnes of stuff for myself. Went to the Heeren after what seems like 25 years... and spotted some nice new boutiques. Went home with his timepiece, a silk top, heels + a small heart-shaped choc cake.





3. Miraculously, I had time to shop again in the evening when my mum looked after Marco and i turned up an hour early for dinner with Terence at holland village. Was idling around the few boutiques and.... omg, came out with 2 bags! A Chanel 2.55 sample piece from the Paris fashion show + a dark brown faux leather bag. Both of which I've been hunting ard forever!

This is totally unexpected, but gorgeous!!! And on that morning, I had traipsed ard Takashimaya and was so desperate for a brown bag I almost plonked down $840 for a Botkier bag [on sale] or a Cole Haan one for $690. That said, the Cole Haan one is still lovely in my mind, and I may just get it. The leather was very soft, light and great colour.












3. We had a fab dinner at Hog's Breath Cafe and he loved the steak + ambience. Chill, good food, huge servings, great service -- I highly recommend it.

4. In fact, we were in such a good mood we bought a giant tub of Cold Rock ice-cream back for my brother. If you don't know yet, our fave Aussie ice-cream is here. Right smack at Holland V, with all the mix-ins that i missed so much. They have incredible, genuis flavours like Ferroro Rocher, cheescake, Tia Maria... with lil mix-ins you can choose, from Oreos and Malteses to choc chips, almonds, waffles cones, graham crackers. What a joy!

5. And at 6.30am this morning, I woke up for my run. Yes it felt like shit. Yes i panted like the pig i am. Yes it was horrible to be so slow, heavy and just... pathetic. But what the hell, i did it. What i used to run in 1 straight route...i now have to break it into 3. And even then, I was awfully pathetic. No worries, I'm planning misery episode No. 2 tomorrow.




So it's one of the best weekends in aaaages. I'm happy.
