Wednesday

Let's go see some cherry blossoms

The Yams recently went to Gardens by the Bay Flower Dome to check out the cherry blossoms.:)

My sister E fractured her wrist last month snowboarding in Japan hence the arm sling.

Just little bits and bobs to "frame" the photos.

First page from the 2024 gratitude journal

Let's break into the 2024 gratitude journal. :)

First up - the loaded porridge. *winks*. Dad doesn't like to drink water...so I have to think of ways to incorporate more "soupy" stuff in his meals. These days a "loaded porridge" is on weekly rotation. It is cooked with homemade bone broth and filled with a mix of both animal and plant protein, carrots, mushrooms and served with lots of condiments.

The one about the waterfall

There are many waterfalls in Bali and since we booked a driver for the day, we stopped by at one.

Even though we chose a waterfall that needed the least amount of climbing, it was still challenging for the folks because it was rainy season and the ground was really wet and slippery.

We did get some nice shots though. :)

Workspace Wednesday...someone got a new toy!

Yes...that would be me! After 8 years of using the 9.7 inch iPad Pro, I finally got a new 11 inch iPad Pro for my birthday. :)

P/s: Have you gotten any new tech toys recently?

Tuesday

Dinner at Barbaroosa

One of the best things about travel is of course the food.

We ordered 4 mains to share...and it was so good. :)

Yes...still working through my Thickers stash, *winks*

The one about Cretya Ubud

Back to scrapbooking the Bali trip photos....this one is about Cretya Ubud.

My sister really wanted to go. It's basically a man-made day club for tourists with lots of places for photo-taking.

Like this structure that "frames" and creates a lovely photo backdrop.

You can pay to just see the rice-fields and take photos or pay to access the jacuzzi pools too (even more photo-taking). The rice-fields did look lovely but it was super touristy overall.

P/s: Not a great place for the old folks though...lots of climbing up and down the (steep) stairs. Mum pretty much just sat at the cafe the whole time we were there.

Winter at the cinema

I don't do single photo layouts very often but I only have this ONE photo and I really wanted to document this "winter at the cinema" moment. *winks*

I wanted to have a little fun with the world map even though we were right here in Singapore...*LOL* Apparently it was winter at the cinema for the folks. Mum had on a cashmere sweater over her shirt. Dad had on his Columbia wool sweatshirt. They were both wearing scarves and had on hat/cap. For a 2 hour movie at the cinema.

Guess who found her old Thickers stash? Love that mismatched pieces can spell a usable word...that's a win! :)

On a roll...another decorated envelope for the week

Obviously on a roll...here's another decorated envelope for the week. These are quick to put together with scrap bits...which is all the time I have for these days. :)

Make Stuff Monday - a decorated envelope project

So the Yams went to a Kiehl's event recently and scored some samples in envelopes...which means decorated envelope projects! *happy music plays in the background*

Nothing fancy about this one. Just a little "happy scene" finished with shimmer mist of course! :)

P/s: Happy week ahead friends!

Dinner at Pavilion KL

Another layout featuring the folks enjoying Day #1 of our recent trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

And yes, it really was a huge bowl of spicy fish.

And the folks posing with the giant prosperity cat. Asian businesses often have this cat at the cash counter to bring in the money luck/good business.
