happy stuff?

i know i've been bitching and preaching somewhat alittle too much here (thanks for bringing my attention to this tc & mao :pppp) well, it is just soooo much easier to type all such thoughts out at the spur of the moment, rather than verbally expressing it in real life, for me at least. i've been esp stressed recently due to lots of sudden screw-ups backscene, and i'm having to deal with the headache, the problem, and my real headache... tc thinks i'm giving people the wrong impression that i'm this gawd awful person who goes around persecuting everyone and everything i see. well. my response - whatever.. i can't help it if anyone thinks so. people who know me personally will know better...

anyways!! some happy stuff. new buys from etsy! impossible to take pics of all of them, so just 2 of my dozens of favs.
they arrived promptly, safely wrapped, with thank you note! i like.

i had to have a lego-something, you know, so here's my very own mondrian-lego necklace thingie... now i'm eyeing that big fat lego ring with a diamond, real diamond... hee.. and a bat-wing corsage, how cool right??? mao & b thinks otherwise though.. whatever you all... :p

and a nice may day spent at the botanical gardens, where the sso performed in the evening

it was a huge crowd, lots of expatriates and tourists, but people there were relatively nice, soft-spoken, and civilised, even the babies were quiet, except for some a.d.d. kids. we had a little sandwich and salad picnic, expensive ice-cream (10 bucks??), and wine. fed the swans, laid on the grass, and talked crap.

the weather couldn't have been better, cool breeze as if it was going to rain, but it didn't, until much later when we were at the carpark about to leave.

well, and how can i not have something to bitch about? hahaha! so here goes. i've learnt my lesson (again) and will steer clear of hiring anyone's acquaintance/friend/family in future (trying) ... i had to sort of fire a "friend-sewer", who has been wasting my fabrics and materials for the past couple of months, because all the purses i let her do came out crooked or asymmetrical or something or the other... and useless me let it dragged on for 2 more projects before i had the guts to face it and had a talk with her... it was a painful affair, with the reasons and sad looks she was feeding me with... and i'm still feeling bad.. gawdddd...
