Child at heart

Besides baking, I have taken up a new hobby. Making toys!

Oh yes, another thing that gets me very excited during the weekends. It all started when I explored pictures of toys on my now favourite website, flickr.

I know how strange to like surfing on a photo album sharing site. But they've got these tags which allows you to find photos when you type a key word. So at first when I was all hooked on cupcakes, I was looking for inspirations for cupcakes. Now it's toys.

And I absolutely love to get my hands busy with making toys now. Here are a couple of my own creation.

I call this my bakery shop. There is an ice cream, biscuit, bear cookie, bunny cookie, star cookie, gingerbread man who looks more like a voodoo doll and a biscuit stick!

My favourite has got to be the ice cream! tried to make it into my handphone toy but realise that I cant hang it at all =(.

I simply love this new hobby of mine. Baking, making toys.. what else to pick up this year?

What a week!
Having had crazy weeks at work I decided to treat myself better and make an attempt to leave earlier. So on Thursday, I left the office at 6:30 and enjoyed a Swenson's dinner and some shopping. I think Alexis appreciated it as well, after having to spend most eveings on his own. Then again, unlike me, he may enjoy being alone at home. I think if he was the one that had to work late most of the time, I'll prob not be home most nights. I'm just not the sort who enjoys being alone at home. At least not for days on end.

Over the weekends, I caught a play that my cousin was acting in, "On North Diversion Road" at the Arts House in the play den.


It was a cosy set up where the stage was in the middle of the room. The story revolves around ten different couples driving along the same highway, dealing with marriage-on-the-rocks, love and betray issues. SOme end up killing themselves, some end up fighting like cats and dogs, some giving the tit for tat treatment and some just unresolved.

This plus the past few nights of listening to love songs confidential on class 95, makes me wonder how people treat the value of fidelity in their marriage. On love songs confidential, you have people writing in to share their darke secrets. Some whom are married and are havng affairs they know fully well will get them no where, but still refuse to let go of. Them others who are the 3rd party themselves and feel guilty for breaking up families yet also refusing to leave, citing reasons that are just plain sad... *sigh*

It's impossible to expect fireworks in a marriage forever. And who ever said keeping a marriage strong requires no effort or work? Having passed the one year anniversary in my marriage makes me realise how one party's actions, moods, decisions, affects the other so much. Be it for the better or worse. How carefully marriage must be nurtutred, pruned, receiving love, affection, affirmation, praise, encouragement.

Buzi Buzi

Hit the busy period at work again. Makes me lose the will to live as my colleague would say. Spending ungodly hours in the office that makes me look forward to the weekends and wanna just spend them doing absolutely nothing. Not very productive I know.

Tired, drained and just a little more to go...
