Happy New Year! Year 2009 is finally a past tense and here comes 2010! Today is the first day of the year, I managed to wake up pretty early as I skipped the New Year Eve's celebrations in those major shopping malls or pubs. There are times I would prefer to stay away from the crowd and the massive traffic jam, hehehe...
I had a great time hanging out in one of my favourite shopping mall, Ikano Power Centre. I love to be there especially during afternoon because of the relaxing atmosphere and warm sunlight, thanks to the huge glass panels in place of concrete walls in certain sections of the ground floor. There were plenty of people in the mall but nobody seem to be in a hurry, guess most people are on their 'rest mode', even if it's only one day, it wouldn't hurt to take a break. :)
After visited Ikea to spend my cash voucher on some cooking utensils and a chair for Ben, we stopped by The Bakery Moments for tea time. I had a Strawberry Bolle while Ben had Mocha Bolle ('Bolle' means bun in Norwegian). The bun seemed to be more filling than the normal ones I had from other bakery shops. I'm not sure if this has something to do with the fact that they use wholemeal flour in all their bread products.
A closer look at my Strawberry bolle with icing sugar sprinkled on top... The filling was strawberry jam, but I secretly wished it was strawberry cream instead.
Like the rose prints on my dress? It's a summer dress that I just got from Cotton On @ One Utama yesterday. I purposely picked it for a New Year's afternoon as it looks so happy and cheerful!
Before heading back home, we went to Popular Bookstore and I got a few books and magazines, including one that taught us how to make those beautiful lanterns using red packets, which you can normally see during Chinese New Year. I'll share some pictures with you next time after I completed one or two of the projects in the book.
