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 

Arm candies stack along : DIY magazine bracelet holder

It usually takes something new to spark off a project. 

Arm candies has been an obsession for over 5 years and still counting. 

I've added 4 more new ones to the collection this week, and decided to sort my bracelets out a little. 

The ones featured are the more commonly worn ones. 

While the neglected ones sits back in the accessories cupboard. 

I did this using old rolled up magazines. 

Looking at this gives me a great idea of my staple colors. 

Dark

It's always been black, grey/silver and navy.

Light

White, pink, neutral brown and gold.

Color me beautiful

Pink, purple and maroon. 

If I did a necklace or hairband edition, it looks pretty much like these too! 

It's not like I do not wear other colors, but white, black and neutral brown/gold sorts of inter-match with just about every color no?

At least it does in my world.
