Writer’s Workshop: My Xtra Special Moments of Joy

R and me

R and me

 

Spending time with the one I love brings me much joy.  Last weekend  I flew over to where R is working to spend some couple time with him.   It was my special time together with him.

The last time we met up was in February when  we had our Valentine’s Day couple getaway before returning back to Singapore together  to celebrate Chinese New Year with the family.

Joy is ……….

being able to spend time with the one you love. Walking hand in hand basking in the setting sun.  Admiring the view as you feel the sea breeze blowing against you.

Joy is ……….

Soaking in the lights and panoramic view  while having a romantic dinner at the top of a hill.  Taking in the wonderful sight of hundreds of lights dotting landscape. Each of them representing a street light or a building in the valley below.

Joy is ……….

Having a peaceful night sleep without being disturbed by the kids.   This is really something that I have been dreaming off and it was really a  JOY to be able to experience it during this trip.

Joy is ……….

Enjoying myself  playing with bubbles and soaking in a tub  while blowing bubbles like a little girl.  Experiencing the fun that I used to have back then as a teenager.

Joy is ……….

Being a tourist and walking along streets reminiscing how it was back then in the 60s and 70s with shops that still were kept in its original condition selling olden day treats.

Joy is ……….

Celebrating your 14th Wedding anniversary 2 months in advance by making your own unique anniversary present at a jewelry making workshop.  We  made our own rings after selecting the pattern from the samples that we were given and did the engraving  all by ourselves under the supervision of the teacher.

It was certainly a really unique experience and a priceless gift which would be treasured forever.

What is your Joy in the present moment?

Gold Glamour Sandal for me and a Rose shoe for Tiger girl

Shopping for shoes has never been an easy task for me. I’ve been always very particular about the level of  comfort and durability of shoes.

Choosing shoes for myself

Shoes should fit like a glove and not cause any discomfort even after extended use  when I need to do a lot of walking around for the day.  The shoes that I  wear have to be able to withstand my hectic lifestyle and also jazz up my chosen outfit for the day.

Choosing shoes for my girl

When I shop for shoes for Tiger girl I take into consideration that the pair that we decide on has to be able to give her enough support for her growing feet. It has to be breathable and enable her to wriggle her little toes while wearing it. She should be able to run, skip and hop happily while wearing them.

Tiger girl was super excited when I told her that we were going shoe shopping on earlier on this week.

She has been pestering me for new shoes as her existing pair was giving way as it  after been too well worn.

Tiger girl requested for “Sparkly” shoes to match the  princess dresses which I recently bought for her.

She loves shiny and sparkling accessories and was really thrilled that she was getting some bling bling on her shoes too to match her existing wardrobe.

Pazzion recently  launched their new   Mother’s Day  2015 collection featuring a series of adorably matching mother and baby shoes with their trademark diamanté embellishments. Some of the label’s more popular designs have also been remade in mini sizes and they are seriously cute.

Tiger girl was squealing with delight when she spotted these shoes on the display racks. She couldn’t wait to  try them out and see how they looked on her feet.

The marketing & communications executive served us while we were in the shop. She introduced the various different  designs and gave suggestions on suitable choices for Tiger girl.

After deliberating for a long time , Tiger girl  narrowed down her choice to two pairs- The Baby Rose Flat and the Gold baby flat.

Initially I wanted to get matching mother and daughter as it was available option  however the adult  version of the designs that she chose were not that comfortable for me so I decided on  selecting other designs instead.

With the hot weather here in Singapore having a nice pair of sandals is a must. This sandal adds a dose of glamour and whimsy to any outfit with its  buckled ankle strap and pearl detailing with metallic trim.  This shoe from their Spring/ Summer 2015 collection  goes well with both jeans or summer dresses.  It was certainly a pair that I would have to get.

Don’t the shoes look good on our feet?

After selecting my 1st pair of shoe I moved on to select another pair for myself. I was deliberating between taking a pair of heels or flat and  was given several shoes to try on.

In the end I selected the  Gold  Glamor Sandal and a Gold Loafer as these two pairs were the most suitable for me out of their wide selection.

These loafers were really comfortable and they fitted my feet like a glove. They were also similar to the pair which Tiger girl chose earlier on.
