back from bali.
and tomorrow- ein neues Leben fängt an.
wish me Glück.
tis the season to…
admire christmas trees (the first is the huge one in marina square, the second is a cute little one at brotzeit topped with a yummy fat brezel);
splurge on gorgeous festive accessories (scored this christmassy bracelet at tanglin mall a couple of weeks ago and i’ve been wearing it out all the time :));
welcome dear old Mr Frosty out of storage (he’s pretty much the equivalent of a tree around here);
wear comfy knits and sweaters (this royal blue one is this year’s favourite);
buy aptly christmassy mugs (i love this one. picked it up at taka for less than 5 bucks and it’s nicely sized and so pretty to look at);
fill mug with lots of lovely hot tea and curl up with book (this is the current German read. the current English one is Twain’s Prince and Pauper);
spend time with family (and friends) (that’s dear old granny who’s here with us for almost a month);
wrap presents (all these are for Daddy’s colleagues. every year my skills are put to good use. and yes, i Am actually pretty good at gift-wrapping);
and receive them (alice im wunderland post-its from the daddy will definitely brighten up the organiser and next sem);
finish re-reading an old gem before the movie’s released (that’s my Dad’s ancient copy with beautiful illustrations);
dress up for wedding festivites (that took place on 12.12.12 aka the last date the calendar aligns or whatever);
spend More time with family (that’s the niece and nephew taking sibling fighting to a whole new level: swordplay);
have a cuppa (what’s christmas without the mandatory starbucks?);
do the most ridiculous things to ease holiday boredom (such as buying theory papers to do. although i Already have a distinction for the abrsm g8 theory in the bag ;));
camwhore (especially when you stumble upon a gorgeous mirror like this one atop a vintage dressing table);
splurge on pretty snowglobes because we arent privileged enough to have the honour of Real snow down here on this sunny (rainy, really) island (this is part of three matching ones i got for the schnapps!);
receive religious gifts in the spirit of christmas (this gorgeous is from a good schnappfriend and i am in love with it, i’ve always wanted an old-school wooden rosary with the chi rho it’s perfect);
chill (that’s one evening to myself i had with the favourite leibniz butterkekse and one old favourite of a film).
kein adventskalender, but i suppose this will do as a countdown of sorts :)
