Lunchtime

My lunchtime at bread and hearth. Scone $2.80 and matcha latte $5.50

Quite like the matcha latte

DIY project

My DIY project for today...haven't did such stuff for long time...
It's a kappa plushie made from sock. Took me about 2 hrs to get it done. So far, quite satisfied with how it turn out.

A gloomy day

First entry in year 2015.
Had a long break from Friday till today....thanks to the jubilee long Weekend holiday and me getting sick at the end of it. Fall sick to viral infection on the 50th birthday of my nation. It's also the best NDP so far. Feel sad at the same time coz LKY is no longer around to see it. Without him, Singapore would not have become what it is today. It's been an eventful year so far with the death of our foundling father in March, followed by the one week state funeral. For me, who cannot stand crowds and never queue for anything more than 1 hr in my life, I stand and queue for 4 hrs just to pay my respect to LKY at the parliament house. I feel that is the least I can do compared to what he had done for the nation. I don't think there will ever be a man like him ever again.
After the NDP, the general election  is going to take place. This is the first time in my life where I finally get the chance to vote since previously I have been stationed overseas. I think PAP is going to win a landslide victory since the mood of the people now is in a  patriotic state and also becoz ppl want to keep LKY'S legacy going.
Sure to have a lot of 'wayang show' going on now. Well, that's poltics.

Recovering slowly from my viral infection. Had a high fever of 38.7 two days ago. Basically I have been holed up in my house for past 4 days. I never stepped out except to go out and throw rubbish.  Think I am seriously an indoor gal. Somehow I just can't drag myself to step out of the house. If I did not work, I would probably holed up in the house for weeks without going out...yah...I know it's v unhealthy...

Lavender paradise

I found my lavender paradise, in Sequim, Washington US.

 

 

 

There are also chamomile flowers growing alongside the lavender. The whole place feel so soothing and relaxing that I almost want to sleep.

 

People picking and cutting their own lavender flowers for just $5. How awesome is that!

 

 

Hubby picking and cutting the lavender.

 

 

 

My hand picked bouquet of lavender flowers!

 

What I LOVE about this place was that is was quite secluded and thus not crowded. Also, it's not as commercialized as other lavender farms like Farm Tomita which charges entrance fees and exorbitant prices for its lavender flowers. It's a small family owned farm and the people were friendly. They also sell lavender ice cream and lavender beverages. Highly recommend this place, Purple Haze Lavender Farm. It's about 1.5hrs drive from Seattle Tacoma International airport.

Hello world 2013!

Harlow~!

I'm back to blogging again after 2 years stay in Israel. U can check out my previous blog here (http://melancholic-gal.blogspot.sg/) where I first started blogging about my life experience living in a foreign country where I was considered an alien and where I felt like a mute, blind and deaf person. Reason being the language of course. Hebrew....I mean where else in the world do people speak that besides Israel, home of the Jews. For the first time in my life, I truly understand how it feels like to be an illiterate person. It sucks! Well, I did try learning Hebrew. Took some lessons but then its still very difficult to learn that language. Interest plays a very major factor, I guess. Anyway, I have almost completely forgotten everything since I am back in Singapore for about 3 months to date now. Man...how time flies here! Anyway, I have to say this again...it feels good to be back home! :)
