Beadsyy's Diary: TGIF

Holland Village, Singapore, brought back lots of fond memories. It's a place where I hang out (alot) during my teenage years and younger days. I had my first holiday job after my "O" levels and also other fond growing memories. Besides, it's near my Mom's, has lots of great restaurants, houses alot of arty farty finds and is a "to be seen" place for the cool ones. I love the fact that it's a great place to people watch for the chic-est inspirations of fashion trends. Simply, it's like the Hamptons of NYC.

Holland V at Night

I met up with my BFF over dinner at HV last night.

A decade and a half of friendship

We had such a wonderful time catching up over old days and friends (sans baby). It's nice to engage in some adult chats(minus baby talks) since my new identity as a stay-home Mommy. A great reminder not to forget the most important person - "Me". It was the time where I left "Allysa's Mom" at home and got "Yvonne" out of the storage for some Friday nightout (and boy! That was some serious dusting to be done on "Yvonne"). After dinner, we headed to my Mom's for Allysa.

♥ BFFs ♥

I just love the way my Mom smiled in this photo. So candid. Happiness within.
while Allysa was screaming for "freedom". ^^

Holland Village is also another place with great finds! (Did I mention this?) There it is, I saw this really cute tote of the timeless classic "Guess How Much I Love You". I am a big fan of this classic and have both the original version and the "Guess How Much I Love You - All Year Round". It's definitely one of my favourite reading time storybooks.
