Winning, pampering and dessert

1. After some - well, a lot actually - scrappy play, we win. Cue huge sigh of relief.
2. I spend the afternoon in the company of old friends and pampering myself with a back massage and facial. Sunday afternoons should always be like this.
3. There's a tupperware full of mini lava cakes waiting for me in the fridge. I know what I'll be having for dessert this coming week.

Friends, football and volunteering

1. An evening out with good friends to watch a movie. My friends are wonderful and Black Swan is a chilling insight on mental illness.
2. Score! My football (ie. soccer) team wins. We have a date with destiny on Feb 27.
3. I agree to volunteer my time for a jewellery-making workshop for low-income mums. I'm terrified but secretly proud that I've worked up the nerve to do something outside of my comfort zone. It helps that it's for a good cause.

Winning, a dress and ice-cream

1. We win. Again. I sigh with relief.
2. A new paisley print dress hangs in my closet, waiting for the day it gets to be displayed to the world.
3. There's time later this afternoon for a scoop - or two - of organic vanilla ice-cream. Life is good.

Victory, rose quartz and solitude

1. After a run of horrendous results, my football team manages a victory. In style.
2. I'm asked if I will make a bracelet and 2 sets of prayer beads - all with rose quartz - for an old schoolmate. Why yes, of course.
3. My sisters are away in Hong Kong so I spend the weekend in beautiful near-solitude. I read, make jewellery, cook pasta and play with my cat. I can't wait for another such weekend.

Happy 2011!

Happy New Year to everyone! May the new year be better than the last and may it bring you much joy, love, good health, prosperity and every beautiful thing you can wish for.
