1. Looking forward to meeting up with friends later this evening for dinner and a play. Well, a musical actually. A student production of West Side Story. Tickets were dirt cheap and I've always loved the songs from WSS.
2. Our new fridge is coming in a few hours. It was a bargain and the silver finish on it is snazzy.
3. I finally completed the necklace I was making. All those wrapped loops took time but I like how it turned out. I may post a photo here later.

Quiet, some cash and a necklace
1. The office is quiet today. There's time to think and breathe in peace.
2. My boss calls me in and lets me know that I'll be getting a sizeable performance bonus this month. I'm surprised and grateful.
3. I'm in the midst of completing a necklace. Wrapping the crystals and linking them with vintage chain components is therapeutic. It's a bonus that that necklace is turning out to be rather pretty.

Workshops, birthdays and new music
1. I survived my very first stab at conducting a jewellery-making workshop on Saturday. All but 1 of the participants managed to complete the 2 rings I taught. That one woman went home with baggies full of beads and instruction guides so she could make the rings at home.
2. This is way overdue - but I celebrated a birthday. I'm now a year away from another milestone birthday. Not quite sure if I should be happy or sad. On the whole, I'm leaning towards 'happy'.
3. Not being particularly hip or cool (as you can clearly see since I just used the words 'hip' and 'cool' in the same sentence), I've only just stumbled on Florence + The Machine. I'm now in love with Dog Days are Over. It's on loop on my iPod.

DVDs, teaching and being sick
1. I (re)discover the joy of watching DVDs in bed. I'm currently wading my way through a box set of Criminal Minds. Not a show I'd typically watch - much too gory and formulaic. But a colleague lent the set to me and I've been oddly enthralled by it all.
2. The jewellery-making workshop for low-income mums is confirmed. It's good to commit to something I'm terrified of. Let's hope all goes well on the 5th of March.
3. A cold and migraine yesterday meant I spent the day curled up in bed with a glass of honey lemon water by my side.

February, Chinese New Year and movies
1. February arrives amidst thunderstorms and rain. I should hate it but I don't. I love the cooler weather. Plus it's my birthday month.
2. Today is the eve of Chinese (or Lunar) New Year here in Singapore. This means we get off work at 1pm so our Chinese friends have time to go home and prepare for the all-important Reunion Dinner with their families. It also means the start of a long 4-day weekend. What a great way to start the month.
3. Two DVDs sit on my desk waiting to be watched. It's been quite some time since I've been on a movie watching spree so I'm looking forward to it.

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.
