Project Life 2014 ~ February 5 - 10

Project Life 2014

I am back to using the vintage travel edition for all my traveling pages

February 5

We dropped Papi off at Brendan's apartment and then took off to NYC, I am going to miss him so so so so much!!!! Papi was happy to see Brendan at first, but when we start walking towards the door, he thought he was going with us : (    so so so so sad......

Brendan texted us and said that Papi was whining for a while....

Brendan sent us 2 photos of Papi, he sure looked cozy there

we got to NYC an hour earlier then scheduled, picked Dolce up and dropped our bags at the hotel and then to China town for Joe's shanghai soup dumpling, and of course China Town ice-cream

Look who is interested in my PL pages? (when I was taking photo)

February 6

I went to Bryant park this morning, everywhere is covered with snow. Met up with my friend Susan for lunch at Cafe Zaiya.

We had dinner with the girls (Dolce and her room mate Mei) at a French restaurant across the street from our hotel in the evening, it wasn't that great.

after dinner, the girls and I went to upper west side for dessert

remember Cafe Lalo from "You've Got Mail"? that's the one, I walked this street hundreds of time as we lived close by and my girlfriend Jean's apartment is just few doors down, same old trash on the side walk, same old feeling....

oh my, same old chocolate strawberry cake, yum

February 7

Dolce was busy with school today, I spent most of my morning walking around and shopping. My husband decided that I need a new Iphone. LOL! So we got the Iphone 5S at  AT&T store at Times Square.

 That evening, I was on the flight to Singapore that evening while Randy was on the other one to Dubai for work, for a long while I haven't been on a long flight all by myself : (

February 9

Arrived at 6:15 AM, the Singapore Flyers and Marina Sands, a beautiful sight from the airport to the hotel

My sister came to the hotel and we spend a day together, eating, shopping and also went to the hospital to see uncle Mark, he wasn't well and just had surgery few days before I got home.

Uncle Mark is my favorite uncle, he used to play the guitar and we sing together, I learn lots of songs from the 60s from him. I really hope he recover soon from his illness.

February 10

After my dental appointment today, oh you might be asking why I spent my holiday for medical appointment in Singapore. Yes, I have the best dentist and doctor there, that is what I do every year when I go back, if I need to see a doctor in the US, I always end up crying, the health care situation and experience here in the States is just to painful, even my American husband said that if one day he needs to doctor on a daily basis, he would move to Singapore.

After my dental appointment, I met up with a friend for lunch, she was a Juilliard mom like myself, we used to spent our Saturdays at The Juilliard School with our kids, now that they are all in college, Ping moved to Singapore with her husband since her husband got posted to the University here in Singapore.

Sitting by the Singapore River after running all my errands before heading to dinner with my cousins, sigh.... I forgot to take photos with them : (

I miss my husband and I miss my Papi....

Strawberry Farm 

for this week challenge at

City Crafter Challenge Blog

I make a notepad 

and a notebook 

for my sister's birthday this year

I was going to make a set of cards but realized that I used this same stamp set to make her the berry cards for her last birthday, I must have love this strawberry stamp set from PTI a lot! : )

I used chipboard as the backing for the note pad, punch holes on top so it could be hang anywhere in the kitchen or work space

the note book is just ordinary cheap notebook I bought at Michael's bargain bin, just dressed it up with the same paper on and same theme as the notepad

my sister already got the gift few days ago and she loved it.

I hope you hop over and play along with us this week, our special guest star is my blog buddy Linda B, she and the CCCB designers have some beautiful projects over at the blog, check it out!!!!
