Day 147 - Winnie the Pooh's wisdom, beautiful mess of autumn leaves and my curious niece

I love...

...quotes from Winnie the Pooh. One of my absolute favourite quotes that I carry with me is of course, the classic, "You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think".

But this one is probably a close second.


...the gorgeous colours we're seeing now,

and the beautiful mess that the autumn leaves leave behind.



...a child's insatiable sense of curiosity and fascination,

and determination to investigate everything very closely!

Day 146 - David Attenborough marvelling at what a wonderful world we live in, nutella craving is satiated, Ladurée is opening in Sydney, free checkup and Korean stew on a rainy night

Here are a few things that put a smile on my dial today:

1. Nothing better than starting out a beautiful new day (despite it bucketing down outside - expecting 1 month's worth of rainfall in 1 day) with this remarkable video to remind me to be thankful of all the beauty in this world.



2. Finally appeasing my Nutella craving that's been hanging around for a fortnight. Nutella on white bread + hot cup of tea = win.



3. Finding out that Ladurée is opening its first Australian boutique in Sydney in July this year!! YAY! Fun fact - the macarons will be shipped in from Switzerland. 


4. Seeing my doctor for a checkup, for free..!  


5. Feasting on a hot Korean stew filled with random bits and bobs like macaroni, spicy sausage, soft tofu, rice noodles, thin sliced pork, kimchi and more on a rainy night. 

Day 145 - Snowflake the lemur

I was eating at the dining table and I almost spat my food out in hysterics when I noticed Snowflake wrapped around the armrest of one of the sofa chairs.

Day 144 - A Star Wars Wedding and another China Photoshop fail

Spent most of today in bed again nursing this bastard of a cold. From the comfort of my bed, I came across a couple of smiles:

1. Stumbled across a traditional wedding on Etsy Weddings where Star Wars was subtly thrown in. How cute is this! It's adorable to see a wedding where each others' personalities and what they love are celebrated and embraced.

2. The Chinese officials are at it again!

No, not Photoshopping. Levitating. They're such ninjas at it. 

I can still remember the last time they levitated.

It looks like they've levelled up to levitating over challenging shrubbery now! 

Day 143 - Why I love Snowflake reason #5

Why I love Snowflake reason #5:

She's always nice to me when I'm sick.

If I let her use me as a pillow...


...she lets me use her as a pillow back!

Day 142 - Bermuda Triangle likes Hellbender

Found out today that the Bermuda Triangle has trouble digesting folders...

...but really enjoys Hellbender (released by Microsoft in 1996, system requirements: 8MB of RAM; 32MB hard disk space, tagline: "Shoot to Kill, Think to Win").

You have strange taste, O Mighty Bermuda Triangle.

Day 141 - Catvengers, pug-watching, cleaning to Sigur Rós, Magic Eye stereograms and a poodle on my niece's tush

Happiness is...

...launching Safari on my phone and realising that I still had this link, which Soon Yang sent to me yesterday, open. So cute!

...having brunch while indulging in some people-and-pug-watching. So adorable (the pug)!


...cleaning the kitchen while listening to Sigur Rós. So calming!


...stumbling upon an old Magic Eye stereogram book while I was cleaning out a bookshelf. It was such a huge craze in the early 90's, I remember going over to my friends' place and they'd have massive stereograms framed and hung on walls like prized art. So much nostalgic fun!


...my niece's cute tush!
