Heart think, things done!

There's a Chinese saying that goes like this. 心想事成。
It means when your heart thinks about something, and the matter that you wished for is granted. 

I like this phrase a lot. 
ALOT. 
When my spoken Chinese was nowhere as pro as now, I especially liked this phrase the best( and prolly one of the pro sounding stuff I could mutter)

It's like having a genie granting your wish.! 

Anyway, I was due to make a last minute trip to China tonight ( 2 days notice is really crazy) , and was frantically heaving clothes into the suitcase after a short first meal of the day at 1am. 

while I was at it, I also remembered some of the thick clothing that I ordered online are due to arrive today. 

Damn! Disapponted that I wont be able to bring my newly bought stuff out this trip. 
Gotta wait til next month's trip then :(

I Wondered if I could self collect, and pondered on alternatives, to bring my purchases along with me for this trip. 

Also I didn't receive any flight confirmation, so there was this part of me that also wondered..am I flying tonight or not? 

After I've decided my 6th outfit, 
Daddy saunters home at 5.41am (obviously my night owl genes were inherited from the pops), and I asked. 
So am I flying off with you tonight? 

And he replied that he's postponed his trip back to China. 
In my head, it was "yay!" "Yippee" 
*proceeds to ditch luggage packing! * 

Well. 心想事成! I'm gonna bring my new satin quilted jacket for the trip (if delivery is on time!)

Oh and that I'll have a few more days to prepare my outfits, and decide on the layers and temperature to stabilise.



Year end trips require a little more thought and coordination. 
The good side is, I get to dress differently from Singapore Daphne. 
And all my thick jackets gets a chance to come out for an airing!

Down side, 2 days notice sort of last minute packing is definitely not my forte.
I like to be ready. Prepared and overpacked stuffed full of excess facial mask, toiletries and clothes just in case my trip get extended, I won't need to re wear clothes.  
At summer, it's really quite easy. 
At winter. I admit that I'm horrible at gauging numbers just to feel heat
