Ok, so what's been going on since Wednesday? Quite a bit. I just don't have alot of time to update here ... *sigh*. I've taken photos and stuff and I really wanted to download them this morning but I *have* to forget to bring the interface cable to work (DUH!). So the photos have to wait for a bit. I only have these few which were taken using my cellphone.

*** UPDATE ***

~ Thursday ~

Just work work work ... boring stuff .... hmmm ... NOOOO, I hennaed my hand that night ... ah yes, my life is not that boring afterall ;)

The stain is a lovely chocolatey-brown. Melikes!

~ Friday ~

I visited Amir at lunchtime. He's in a really good mood these days. Always grinning and murmuring and chuckling. What a sweetie pussycat! In the end, I was late back in the office 'cos I can't bear to say "goodbye" to him ... booohoooo! Ah well, sorry chubby cheeks, wak has to work, k? Wak will buy you LOTS of toys!

Let's play "Grab That Hennaed Finger!"

~ Saturday ~

I received a call from a bride-to-be requesting a last minute henna job. She had enquired about my services about 2 weeks ago but I didn't hear from her again until last night. Luckily I have some leftover paste frozen since my last henna job. Lucky too that I knew the paste is still very potent (see Thursday's update, same paste was used).

She is marrying a Moroccan man today. As I (secretly) rubbed my hands in glee, I showed her some of my favourite Moroccan patterns, hoping she'd be so besotted by her man, she'd go Moroccan. But alas ... she didn't *sigh* ... and so I did some modern-ish vineys and little flowers for the top of her hands and a big modern-ish flower for her palms. All photos are in the digicam so gotta wait to see them.

After that, I met mama for a little bout of retail therapy. I needed new shoes. The ones I've been wearing every single day since March is nearly dead (I'll make a temple dedicated to you, my faithful shoes ... you've served me well). I got a pair of decent-looking Everbest pumps. Melikes :). Me and mama then went crazy, shopping for Amir's clothes. I got him 2 cute Winner the Pooh rompers and 2 pairs of cutie socks (cats and trains prints, respectively). Mama got 3 rompers that were on sale. more socks (HUH?!) and long pants. The bill? $100. Amir, nyai and wak LOVE YOUUUUUU!!! Oh, whilst shopping around, I found this dress. Hmmm ... henna patterns ...

That evening, I met Fashionista and her bubba at my sister's place. She, my sister and the BIL used to be colleagues and I first met her more than 3 years ago at one of their company's function. Anyways, as in my previous entry, I've never met little Iman until last Saturday and boy, that experience deserves it's own space ... so I will continue this story in a fresh new entry ... hehe! Suffice to say, I'm totally in love with the little "monster".

So there you go .... UPDATES!
