Here's me in some of my workwear.
I don't have a dresscode for work at the moment,
and basically I can wear whatever I want.
But this is what I'd like to wear to work.

A Romantic Day

Spoonful
543 High St
Prahran

em... nothing better than sit down,
wonder around and do nothing but to waste time.
Yes, Waste time!
God, I feel so blessed I can finally did that last Saturday with darling
at Spoonful ~ a wonderful place to relax.

It's nearly impossible for a couple who work full time,
five days a week, sometimes six days, to have free time out for a date.
Sometimes I feel we all work like robots on a daily routine,
repeating what we did everyday.
We breath, we eat, we work, we sleep.
But we don’t feel.

The endless housework makes me tire.
I need sleep and more sleep to recover myself to work again.
Maybe I’m just being lazy.
Lazy to go out or do things exciting.
I’d rather stay in my shell and day dream.
Maybe this is called a “normal life”.

I need to change.
Therefore, with no more work on Saturday,
I’m planning "a romantic day" once a week with Darling.
Go out to enjoy the city: Melbourne.
I need to feel, to see and to think again ~
Yes, use my brain and my heart!

In The Bag

In The Bag is one of my fave gift shops.
Toys, jewlleries, homeware, clothing, books...
So many things to see and so many things to buy.
I bought a handmade MUSHROOM brooch.
I'm happy.

about the dress: it's a love at the first sight.
First time I stepped into Satch store,
when saw this dress, I fell in love with it.
It has the pretties print.
It's so me and I must have it.
