You have been drooling (literally) all over this bag and putting the bag’s chain into your mouth when you were just 6 months old.
Someday. This bag will be yours.
Though it seems to be perfect for you right now.
But for now, please learn to carry it… with style.
Not like some bus conductor.

The day Amanda turned 6 months old… She had her first high tea at Goodwood Park Hotel.
She was very cooperative. Her naps and schedule was disrupted but she wasn’t too fussy!
Because Auntie Sharlotte and *a-hem* Sharon Jiejie… showered Amanda with lots of attention.
Something Amanda LOVES right now!!! Lots of play and attention!
And here’s one of Sharon jiejie working out, WITH Amanda! kekeke!
When she isn’t busy oggling at guys (her pastime at our 3.5hour tea!), she was also kept busy with one of her-future-handbags…
She must have found the chain to be shiny and yummy… and laid her wet fingers on my bag.
Its soooo not my fault if the bag isn’t going to be in good condition!
Before high-tea… Amanda and I dropped by at Sharlotte’s place.
It was my first time out alone with Amanda… a short trip on the taxi from home to Sharlotte’s.
Could have done better if I was confident enough to juggle Amanda, diaper bag and the stroller.
Needed Mum to send me off below our block and Sharlotte to pick us up at hers.
Missed Amanda’s 6 mo photoshoot at the studio… so I took one on Sharlotte’s couch!
A good representation of she’s usually up to.
Trying to sit, balance… and putting whatever stuff she can lay her hands on, into her mouth.
Entertaining herself and making funny face infront of the mirror… with Auntie and Jiejie.
Lastly, a picture that says… BRING ME TO TEA (with airconditioner) ALREADY!!! :p
More pictures of what Amanda’s up to in Sg, here.

Been wanting to do this post for more than a year!
I have been doing post & photos of mostly Balenciaga bags.
Just before the nanny left, I had a a chance to go through my wardrobe and taking each bag out of their dust bag…
Enjoying things I love to do pre-pregnancy and pre-baby.
I was then reminded of how much and why I Love Chanel.
The bag and the leather are simply *indescribable…
(* and because my vocab shrunk with my Mummy-scattered brain.)
Long story short.
Got my first Chanel, bottom right, a black medium caviar classic in Dec ’06.
Second Chanel, top right, baby cabas in July ’07.
Everything else in 2008. A year of mad mad Chanel obsession!
My Most Used Chanel – Jumbo caviar. (middle left) and maybe a tie with WOC (bottom left)
My Most Beautiful Chanel – Dark Silver ’08 Reissue. (middle center)
My Most Adventurous Chanel – Buying a non-black bag,purple East-west.
And here’s My Cutest Chanel – Mini Flap!
Daddy can be heard telling Amanda (very proudly) where Mummy’s precious collection are, when giving a (daily) tour of the walk-in wardrobe!
It makes Daddy very happy whenever I tell Amanda, Its going to be ALL YOURS!!!
However, he got smarter when I tried the same trick in Miu Miu Paragon last week.
He asked me WHEN am I going to give the bags to Amanda… and what if they become mouldy?
I tried to brush it off by saying that the bags won’t be mouldy in dry climate Yuncheng…!
And Amanda will definitely lay her hands on the many Classics… when she’s old enough to understand and appreciate.
Besides I wouldn’t want to spoil her, young.
And here’s something else for Amanda…
I found my long-lost Tiffany bracelet, I thought I lost it for the last 12 months.
Was searching high & low and Ashley conveniently forgot to inform me that she found it in Singapore.
It was a birthday pressie from Dp in 2002. And also my first one from him.
He was still schooling in Manchester then… he ordered it from London and mailed it to Singapore.
Along with the bracelet, they mailed him a catalogue of their engagement rings.
He was exclaiming then that they were expensive!
A very meaningful bracelet. As he no longer goes through the hassle to get me presents! Ha!
These days, I get them myself! :p
Meanwhile, this is how Amanda will be playing with the bracelet until she’s big and tall enough to wear it.
Ps: Been working on this post for many days. Had to find time to do it during Amanda’s nap!

So Dp leaving me alone in this boring place to go on a business trip.
Which he could have brought me along and leave me alone shopping but he refused.
I could have insisted on going or driving myself there but I couldn’t stand the thought of staying in that dirty (to me) hotel!
So I rather be alone in Yuncheng and in the small room -I am too chicken to be alone in the big new home and empty new neighborhood.
Before parting this afternoon, I lamented how he’s leaving me alone in Yuncheng again when he could have brought me along!
Trying to make him feel guilty when I was secretly pleased that he didn’t feel guilty enough to insist in bringing me along!
He then gave a list of things I can do while he is away for the next 24 hours.
- Clean the room.
- Re-arrange the mess in the room.
- Clean my closet.
- Watch TV and DVDs.
- Curl or Straighten my hair. Big, medium or small curls? Wavy or slick straight?
- Apply and Re-apply makeup…
- Take all my bags out of their dust bags and carry them around.
- Mix and match. Try out (more) new winter outfits.
- Wear and walk around in shoes I have not worn for a long time.
- Take self-portraits in front of the dirty mirror once I am pleased with my hair, makeup, outfits, bags and shoes.
I Must find time among all the silly things I do to clean the mirror!
Here’s another… with a clean mirror!
These pictures infront of the mirror are good reference especially when I have no idea what to wear!
Do you think that he really knows me well or do you think he read this entry?

O M Goodness… And I totally forgotten about it.
There isn’t much to celebrate anyway. Ha!
This is my 605th Post.
And I have 41 drafts waiting to be posted but I never got to it.
But something did get to me last week on the 18th September (the day I first posted an entry here.)
I did a bunch of blog house-keeping and updated my “About Judebabe” Page.
For a while I was feeling pretty disheartened and have not been updating.
(or was it the cold depressing winter months?)
But I finally accepted the fact no one loves to comment anymore.
Thank goodness for site-visit-counter… I would have otherwise thought that I am alone.
And obsessed with me and myself.
With this blog being 4… I have also been living in China for 4 years too!
When asked, I would say that I have been living in China for the past 4 years, with pride.
I definitely deserved a pat on my back.
I am lucky (I count my blessings) but still, its has never been easy.
I love linking to older entries.
I hope you enjoy reading older posts as much as I do.
(P.S: Picture above taken at Sharlotte’s solemisation.
And I am with my NEW Chanel A/W 08 Dark Silver and J12.)

Last night, Dp & I, we dreamt about what we set to do in Macau.
He dreamt that he was in the casino…
I dreamt that I was in Chanel… trying their tweed jacket!
Arrgh!

Gonna catch some sleep on the plane and on the bus ride to Macau…
The shops in Wynn Macau doesn’t close till midnight…
And Dp won’t stop till its late!
