Need for shopping

Happy Belated Birthday to Meow. =) Dinner was fun and i KNOW u enjoyed the rest of the wkend. ;) We've got a few more thingies in the works, dont we? heheh Will see u soon for more retail therapy. (Oh i feel so guilty)

The ISB car boot sale, from 6.30am until noon, went well. I was up by 5.30am (on a sunday, no less!) and there in an hr. It rained the whole morning and by the time we left, i was completely cold and drenched through.

The ladies came with lots of merchandise. I was tempted to buy a few items myself but was so spoilt for choice that i ended up not buying anything at all! The workmanship is lovely. I think one of our first customers was a man who was returning to Europe so he bought quite a few things to bring home as gifts.

As we werent allowed to get involved in sales, we had time to wander around and look at the wares on offer. I love these kindsa sales. =) Managed to buy 6 books for $11 and a huge mug. hehe

Regardless of the rain, there was a really good turnout and i think the Tutong ladies were quite happy with how much attention they attracted and the amount they sold. In observing how the car boot sale went, we learned alot and can now get back to preparing our report. I'm sure my colleagues enjoyed the experience as much as i did.

A big thank you to everyone who came for a look and to support these lower income ppl. =) It's much appreciated. I cant wait for the next sale!

Congratulations to my darlingest, most loved friends.. Mal & Mia.



Picture is of Mia and myself.. I'm not putting up the picture I have of the 2 of them. It's gorgeous.. but I dont have permission to have it here. You can find it in the online albums though.

Congratulations on your engagement.. I know you have the most love and happiness now, and in the future you will share. I've never been happier for you and I couldn't ask for anything more. =)

Syg, after all we've been through.. I can now say, FINALLY! hehehe Can you imagine the running around and tension and excitement of your engagement, times 5? Cos that's what it'll be like for the wedding! Don't worry.. i'll be there through it all. Including the griping and whingeing and smiles and giggling with u. I couldnt be happier for you and Mal. I love you guys. xoxo

ISB Car Boot Sale

As i mentioned before in a previous blog, part of our Microfinance Project for uni is to help the craftspeople of Tutong in promoting their handicraft products. Creating some exposure for them, so to speak. We're hoping they'll work towards supplying for gift stores and hotels.

ISB is having a Car Boot Sale next Sunday (18th Nov 2007), and they have kindly provided us with space for this project. Please come by and have a look if you're interested. There will be handwoven baskets (as can be seen in our poster) and the like, for sale. And also, stuffed pillows/animals which are the cutest things ever. They're covered in soft felt and hand-washable. You should see the stitching on them.. I've got one of those pillows in my car actually. hehe

If you have any questions, my classmates and I will be milling around during the event. That's us in the middle picture although it's pretty much just dots of colour. Biggest thanks to Anne who helped design our poster. Hopefully we'll see u next wkend. =)

I just love finding odds and ends in garage sales and all that. Not surprising that my favourite places ever include Portobello Market and Covent Garden. I do miss spending hrs just walking around and checking out the stuff ppl find to sell. Doesnt matter if i end up buying nothing. It's just such a rush. May have bought the Rebel his birthday JD glassware from Portebello on one such trip.

Yesterday I brought Meow along with me to OGH where the BCL (British Community Link) ladies were having their Festive Fayre. Posh garage sale, we described it as. I very much enjoyed it.. ended up buying a few bits here and there. Meow seemed to enjoy herself as well. She bought clothes, and earrings, and 2 Xmas mice. Oh, dont get her started on the mice. I admit they're adorable.. one holds a gingerbread man and the other holds a wreath. But dont ask her abt them. She'll tell u all abt waking up to them both staring at her and her thinking she heard them singing "Silent Night". I think she has rodents on the brain.

Milkshake and Fries

Darn cravings.. think it's been a mth now. I have to get me some quality milkshake. Can someone please tell me why it's unavailable at McD's?

Turns out i like to torment myself with watching hours and hours of the Food Channel. I love food and appreciate that other ppl do too... but it isnt fun to watch (and drool over) yummy dishes being put together, then realising all i'm having for dinner is indomee. =/ lol

Big wave to the Her Royal Sugary Sweetness. I'll put u on my links as soon as i get this mess that is my blog page, fixed. =)

So the Raya hype has relaxed a little bit. Are there still any Open Houses out there? I went thru 20 houses in my first 2 days. And then after that it was 2-3 each day, which was alright. Think my last 2 were on Sunday.. thanks to everyone who invited me over. =)

Ok, i've been talking abt these to anyone who will listen. hehe I wonder if Bubu and i get some form of commission. hehe =P



Thanks to one of the lovely ladies at She Shoots for sending me the above advert. I know it's a bit small, but if ure fussy and cant see the detail, either visit their site, or let me know and i'll put up bigger pictures. These tshirts are available in white, cream or baby blue. I think they're so cute, and i've already ordered mine. =)

I think i'll be cancelling my trip in Dec. Just because it's "festivities month", prices of accommodation and air tickets have gone up. Makes more sense for me to travel in Jan. I dont actually mind a quiet New Yrs at home.. we shall see.

Before i forget, thank you Ducky (and HEyes) for the gorgeous gifts. I love. =)

And congratulations to Mr & Mrs Wombat. ;)

Forgive me, my thoughts are quite random today.
