Busy Bee
Boy, have I been busy.
I have been trying to get on top of things since we got back from Malaysia in early February. Miss A started Grade 2, Master C starting 3 year old kindergarten. My dearest mother came back to Melbourne with me, and we brought my 18 year old niece along so for 3 weeks, it was gorgeous having them around as I kick start my 2012 back in Melbourne. Now that they have gone back to Malaysia, I have settled back into purely home life again. While I don't miss being a tour guide everyday for 3 weeks, I do miss having them with me - the talking, the jokes, helping me around the house....- you know, things that family do when they come visit!
Whilst my mum has been to Melbourne numerous times, this is the first trip ever without my father. It was a new experience in a way, at a place she knows quite well. My father used to take her around the city, primarily lunches in Chinatown and Crown's Silks, and shopping.
Of course, I miss having them around. The kids enjoyed them so much. Miss A still talks about how she used to sneak up on my mum in the bathroom. Kids.

My Top 3
I absolutely love to host a lovely intimate afternoon tea party. I don't know what it is about it but I get a lot of enjoyment and satisfaction out of a tea party rather than a lunch or dinner.
I haven't done one in a while, sadly, and I am quite keen to get back to hosting one once in a while for my girlfriends after Christmas and after the holidays is over!
While in the midst of Christmas shopping, I have noticed a new array of cake stands featuring little birds which have definitely given me the sweet chirpy tingles because they are soooo very very gorgeous!
This one is made from cast aluminum and features 2 faux bois tiers, a center branch and bird on top. It makes such a beautiful, decorative and versatile centerpiece as well which for me means it doesn't really have to come out of the pantry only to serve cakes.
Love love love Whitney Smith's handmade pottery - that it is absolutely functional and lovingly crafted. Like her platters, serving plates, salad bowls and vases, every piece is a sculpture, and every piece can be used the way you like it.
This bird cake stand comes with a cloche dome cover. It is by far my favorite all because of the elegant little birdy dome! But it is probably the least functional just by looking its glass stem (one swipe from Master C's right hand and c'est la vie!) and that heavy dome. But it is one that blends in beautifully with the rest of my tea ware.

Mummy Knows
Miss A came home from school with a hilarious but as-a-matter-of-fact story.
A: Naomi, Callista and I were put in a group together for the enquiry unit. When we were writing down our report, Ted put my hat on his head.
Mum: So he was wearing your hat?
A: Yeah, he did. And Callista told him to take it off.
Mum: So did he?
A: He didn't at first. He was making jokes and all that. You know, being funny, just being Ted.
Mum: Was he teasing you girls?
A: No, he didn't, he was just being silly like "Look at me, I am wearing a girl's hat. I am a laaaaadddyyy...I am a mummmmyyy"
Mum: So what did you say?
A: I just laughed. He was funny. But Callista told him to take the hat off. She said, girls are mummies. And mummies want you to take your hat off. You shouldn't be wearing someone else's hat!
Mum: Oh, she said that?
A: Yeah, yeah, she said don't wear someone else's hat because you will get hair lice!
Mum: Quite true, sweetheart. Maybe it has happened to her before and her mummy told her not to wear someone else's hat.
A: So Ted said, "Well, I am daddy and daddy says wears mummy's hat!"
Mum: Really??? That is funny!!!
A: Callista said "Listen to mummy because mummy knows. Daddy doesn't know nothing! Take it off!"

Ideas for Santa
It was the last day of Master C's music lesson at Heydeeho today so some mums organized a lovely get-together at the park where we could all hang out once last time before the long break. Of course, the hot topic of the hour was Christmas presents for the kids, and not just that, presents for other kids in family - nephews, nieces, big and small. I told them my side of the story and they thought some of the presents I mentioned were worth sharing with Santa, just in case he needs extra ideas. So here it is Santa, just in case.....
TIGER TRIBE
- I love stuffs from Tiger Tribe, which is an Australian-based company made up of fresh young minds who are graphics artists and illustrators keen on producing gorgeous good quality children's toys. A lot of their stuffs are so beautifully made, delightful and vibrant that I will definitely collect them as keepsakes long after the kids have outgrown them.
Portable Wooden Beach Villa. Comes with all the components. To pack them all up, just stuff all the components into the villa and lock it with the built-in elastic clips. Great for traveling.
Peacock Mobile. Made entirely out of fabric, they are so gorgeous in so many ways it is just not made for the baby's nursery. Older kids will still enjoy having them up in their room for years to come. Well, at least before they discover they can put up posters of Edward and Bella, Harry Potter or Justin Bieber on the wall.
The Sweet Things Mini Stamp Kit. They have a larger version as well with more stamps and more color palette. I love the mini kit more because they are great to travel with and you can get an entirely different mini kit so the kids get a bit more variety out of them.
ALIMROSE DESIGNS
Another great Australian-based company that makes exquisite dolls and soft baby toys with a variety of stylish and quirky fabric that gives it such a unique vintage feel. Miss A had a stripey red monkey squeaky baby toy that has now found its pride of place in Master C's bedroom even though the monkey no longer squeaks! But the monkey squeaker still has its beautiful red-white stripes long after many washes in the washing machine, after so many years!
Little Red Riding Hood. The doll is stitched and all its features are embroidered that gives it a lovely authentic vintage feel.
The Little Cowboy. I think it makes a gorgeous cuddly company and a lovely keepsake for any little boy or girl. Just don't think Brokeback Mountain.
JANOD
Designed in the Jura Mountains in France, Janod toys are known for its impeccably high quality and safety standards. I read that they have inspection programme at each stage of the production process and have set its standards to the highest ISO in Europe. No wonder, their price range shows it!
Fruit Crate.
Birthday Cake.
I know these wooden fruit and wooden cake don't look like much of a toy but I can assure you that kids go mad simply cutting up the fruit as well as cutting up and dividing the cake. They - well, my Miss A and Master C anyway - get truly engrossed by the intensity that I have to get separate sets so there are no wooden food fights. They then mix it up with other cooking playthings and create their little world of make believe dinner parties and tea parties.

Bizarre Fakes
Christmas shopping. While I totally love to immerse myself in getting into the spirit of it, sometimes I feel present-buying is a real cop out. I believe if you show your loved ones how much you cherish them or want to tell some people that you love them by giving something special, it doesn't really have to wait till December 25, or February 14, or their birthday for that matter. It should be something that happens just any day. Haven't you seen something in a shop on a random day and say to yourself, "Oh, so and so would love this!" or "I know exactly who needs this!"
My way, really is to buy it there and then (especially if there is a sale discount on that particular item) and give it to the person with the message "When I saw it, I thought of you!" How incredibly sweet is that? Sure you can put it away until the person's birthday if you prefer. I just don't think we should drag our heels when we are looking for a present, or dread the day the person's birthday draws near, or struggle to figure out what the heck to buy! If any of these situations arise, that person, well, unfortunately, I don't think that person is all that loved and cherished then!
Sure, there will be the odd acquaintance, colleagues, husband's best friend's wife, wife's boss's son (getting engaged) or daughter's teacher you have to buy for, but when it comes to someone who are within your 'Circle of Trust' (taking from Jack Byrnes in Meet the Parents) then it shouldn't be an unpleasant experience, right?
Anyway, the reason why I am on this topic is that I just read in a British paper that the Border Security Agency have intercepted million dollars worth of counterfeit goods which were bound for British households. The Agency have confiscated boxes upon boxes, crates upon crates of luxury good most hectically this holiday season. People who have shopped online awaiting delivery will be very surprised to discover that Santa's delivery has been seized. While I initially thought these confiscated goods must have been mainly fake Louis Vuitton bags from Thailand, dodgy Gucci wallets from Indonesia and copies of Tommy Hilfiger shirts from Vietnam, I was wrong. Very very wrong! I am quite amazed by what counterfeiters are branching into now.
Fake Links of London bracelets worth £145 are made from banned metals and cause bad rash.
Fake Pandora charms bracelets worth £65 for bracelet and £30 for each charm are made from nickel and toxic metals which cause bad rash and skin allergies.
Fake GHD hair straighteners and hair dryer worth £165 that are not made to Europeans standards overheat easily and could cause burns and short circuits.
Fake Jo Malone scented candles worth £65 contains banned ingredients and the glass is incredibly substandard that they could easily crack due to heat.
On that note, shop wisely, everyone!

My Top 3
This week sure has gone so very quick! I haven't even had a chance to take a breath and now, it is Friday already????
It was madness this week and the week before as there were a keyboard recital to practice for (Miss A's 1 minute of spotlight mixed with utter stage fright) and a school concert to prepare for. At the end of both events, I thought to myself, and this is only 1 child? Whatever will happen to me and my poor brain when Master C starts school?
School holidays is not too long to go now and sure enough, this household can't wait! I, for one, need to sleep in. I need to sleep in. I really need to sleep in. I really do!
And of course, Christmas is just less than 20 days away and I am relief all the presents are already done. I can't help noticing a few of you haven't!!! Well, not to worry....I thought it is timely if I share my Christmas inspirations and ideas in The Christmas Special My Top 3 this week!
This amazing wrapping is so easy to do. Love the ceramic letters. The kids can decide if they want to hang them on the Christmas tree or in their bedroom. If you prefer wooden letters or plastic ones, you can try craft shops like Lincraft and Spotlight or toy shops.
I am a little bit obsessed with specialty wreaths this Christmas. I am not a big fan of those made out of plastic green bush, plastic pine cones, plastic holly and horrible gold dust that get stuck on your hands as you are putting the wreath up and no gold dust left after spending 2 weeks hung at the front door! While I still have a traditional one for the front door - one that was handmade by my friend Liliana 10 years ago! (Yes, I still have it and it still looks good!), I have gone for another one that could be placed in and around the house even after the festivities.
My friend Yen gave me a wooden Christmas tree a few years ago - one that came complete with little hanging ornaments as well. It is perfectly sized to be placed as a decoration on the dining table, credenza, sideboard, buffet, whatever you call your furniture, it is just gorgeous! I love it so much that this wooden tree still makes a grand appearance every Christmas. I saw some new ones recently and thought perhaps it is not a bad idea to get another one that would make a lovely centerpiece on the dining table. Mine comes as basic as just natural wood. I can decorate any way I like, even Miss A can do it. After a couple of Christmases, it just needs a facelift with a new color. I think it is a very simple idea and just a little quirky!

Alexa
I really don't know what it is about Alexa Chung's flair in fashion that earns her consistent accolades and is often celebrated as a style inspiration. I can see she is a stunning looking woman with a gorgeous slender figure. I notice she doesn't wear a lot of make-up most of the time and she doesn't look heavily done up every time I see her in publications.
I really like that she doesn't channel 'high maintenance' and she doesn't scream "Look at me!! My boobs are popping out!!" Also she doesn't do excess either. She doesn't just dress up in exclusive and luxury fashion just because she can. As a mum, it sends the right message to young girls who will eventually and inevitably turn to people like Alexa - popular figures in pop culture for clues!
However, I have found myself questioning some of her odd choice of outfits. I think she has been awarded Best British Style 2 or 3 years in a row but she has certainly made some amusing choices and here's just a couple of them.
Sure, it is a Louis Vuitton dress but it doesn't suit her modern, contemporary flair one bit!
Wow oh wow. I don't know where to look. The shoes are fabulous though!!
But I must admit she will never ever look awful in anything, just a little funny sometimes. Alexa Chung is known for her distinctive personal style and I guess that is a reason why she is so enjoyable to watch. Even when a dress is borderline frumpy, she still oozes extraordinary style. I love these:
Impeccable, don't you think?
This is the way to do ladylike! Love it. And she looks at ease and comfortable!
I am fascinated by tailored shorts at the moment. So this really gives me the buzz for summer!

My Top 3
Loving this candle at the moment. Subtle yet mesmerizing. And I am not just making up words. It is really is! I can't appreciate candle scent that is too overwhelming because they might as well be car air fresheners. MOR candles are quite delightful and I have gone through enough of them, and so far none of which I find revolting. They are within a good mid range price as oppose to some impossibly expensive scented candles.
Whats's this? Summer is upon Melbourne. Yey. But I say it with not much excitement. Sadly, it doesn't feel anything close to it! Just so you know the weather for the next 7 days will be around 20 degrees. A bit disappointing, but it could give me a bit of time to source for the perfect pair of lace shorts.
It is about time Mr Daniel Day-Lewis appears on my blog again! I was ecstatic when I read he has been cast to play Abraham Lincoln and is currently shooting the movie. This picture was twitted by UVAMichael which appeared to have taken the picture while Daniel Day-Lewis was having a lunch. He is known method actor, and is widely regarded as one of the best there is. He has been known to remain in character in between takes, during breaks and even outside of shooting. I can't wait.

HRV
I have had a couple of days' break after Miss A's birthday celebration. I am recuperating - still. Just want to post these shots of Master C in HRV jersey, the kit of Croatia's national team. He is accumulating quite a kit collection!

Birthday on Ice
Thankfully, the outcome of the party was just a couple of wet bums, a few ice skate changes (wrong size - too tight, too loose), minor slips (while trying to remain upright) but no crashes. Most of the girls have not done ice skating before so I must admit I felt a weird feeling dawned on me just as they were putting on their skating gear. But as it turns out, all the girls did great and I was personally very proud of each of them!
The girls started eating straight away before they went on the skating rink. Good idea, they need the energy!!
OK, time to get ready for skating! So the girls nicely lined up as other girls were getting ready.
Hahaha...this was really the funniest bits because it was the first moment their skates touched the ice and the instructor asked them to get moving straight away! No time for anyone to get acquainted with their new feet!
Here the instructor is teaching them how to get off their bottom in the case they fall down. A few giggles there!
Future figure skaters?
Future ice hockey players? Especially the one in the middle.
Yes, definitely the one in the middle!
Hahaha. I love this one of the boys (brothers of the girls). What do boys do while waiting for the girls? The boy in the middle couldn't decide which iPad to follow, so he watched the video with Master C and watched the older boy playing a game. Left...right...left...right...
Clever girl won a price from the DJ!
Oh, the cake! Miss A had her eyes on this cake for months now since she first spotted it at Breadtop. I am please I don't need to purchase anything fancy and complicated.
I think it is a sheep dog.
Here comes Master C ready to blow the candles!!!
Happy 7th Birthday, sweetheart, finally! I have another 364 days to recover from this!
