A little bit of pictorial update

Assalammu'alaikum family, friends, readers and followers of this blog. I had said I wanted to write some short stories. Sadly, I haven't had an idea and when I do, I ended up scratching it because it sounded too much like me. So I think it is as good as a scrapped idea altogether. Let's just focus to write about me, my reflections and whatever updates I can spare all of you.

So, the year of Pig has arrived! And of all my 34 years I never had anyone asked if Muslims are okay with the year of Pig until this year. I don't know what to say really.. What can I do? It is the Chinese Zodiac Year and it existed since forever, no one can change it to another animal. Live with it. No one is shoving you a pig head or pork into your mouth, right?

Besides, Islam is about peace. It includes peace with other religious or racial beliefs. RESPECT them like how you want others to respect you. SIMPLE. Just pig deco everywhere, live with it la. I don't feel offended or anything. I enjoy looking at all those pig crafts, they do look cute!

Anyway, back to the story writing, I still haven't got around getting a single idea. I am beginning to believe that I have lost all the imagination and creative blocks I used to have. So I decided to get on and sew something for myself instead. I miss hacking patterns to suit me or the fabric I have in hand. That I did, and I am glad I did. So, here are some pictures of what I've done since my last post.

We took a walk from Henderson Wave to the HortPark with the neighbours last month.

We loved the scenery at the end. And couldnt resist this picture.

We had a staycay in the Holiday Bungalow at Pasir Ris. 

I especially love it when all my nieces and nephews get together and do their thing and bond like they are never parted, ever. 

We celebrated birthdays. We had 3 in a row, so here are the birthday girls, for Dec 20th, Jan 27th and Feb 2nd. May you all become great women of tomorrow!

Love her big smile on this swing. It was indeed her favourite spot.

Then we had late lunch on Monday after briefly being disappointed because we weren't on time to get her present.

All the sewing I did... I was on the pants roll! We are always on a high need for new pants, it seems.

Pattern review will follow soon, if I remember and have the time and energy. 

Happy Lunar New Year to all my Chinese friends, readers and family! 

Until I dig this again to be reminded of the pattern review.
