The Paradox











{October 1, 2009}   Alta Bean Bag

There has been a space in our study that was empty (and colourless) to me. After much thoughts i decided to shop around for a chaise to fill up that space, add some colour and at the same time allow us to pick up a book from our massive bookshelf and settle into it. However, when i shared with this with the hubby, he was not very keen about it. We started talking about the pros and cons and all when he finally thought of a bean bag…. Why not i thought :) ))!

We sourced around at Spotlight and even the beanbag mart but nothing… absolutely nothing spoke to us.

Last night while watching TV and surfing the net, i chance upon this cool site http://www.blob-bean-bags.com/sg/home.html?gclid=CK2IwczEmZ0CFQEupAodUxqY3Q.

Though they are based in New Zealand, they ship the bean bag covers to Singapore! So all you have to do is to purchase beanbag refills and fill it in the beanbag when it arrives. How cool! We explored the site and that was when we saw it.

The Alta Bean Bag.

It looks like a huge over sized pillow but gave up to 7 options of sitting, reclining and straddling. They are made super soft but strong enough to ensure durability and resilience. Their bags are also fade and spill proof making them ideal for outdoor use. You can choose from two beanbag sizes and lots of colours, from a demure chocolate brown to a popsicle fuschia to suit a lounge or a kids room.

Here is what i purchased. Eagerly waiting for its arrival:)

Whhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..................................



Hmmm….i must be sounding like Rebecca Bloomwood from Sophie Kinsella’s books calling my kate spade my pride and joy.

Got a recent interest in Kate Spade’s bags and accessories. After looking around i found a perfect wallet for myself. And the best thing is I got it in pink. Well  i made over 3oo bucks for it but its gorgeous.

Some things are just meant to be :)

Got in touch with a couple of my newly-turned-mummies friends. When I ask about how their little bundles of joys are, the first thing they send me are links.

Very impressive links i must say. While some boast endless pictures of the babies, some simply talk about the happenings in the lives of these tiny ones. We may wonder what is so interesting about the lives of babies… after all they drink milk and sleep. I thought so too but i was wrong. The particular mummy, V blogs as if it was by the baby Gwyneth herself. Its also amazing how she puts herself into the shoes of the baby and talks about the feelings and the little milestones the baby has crossed. She also shares about the various places she buys interesting things for her babies. Uploaded with beautiful pictures of the baby, i really had a great time reading the post.

As i was reading i also realised how wonderful it was to have a baby. As much as it sounds fun, baby Gwyneth forgot to mention mummy’s sleepless nights… or endless changing of diapers for that matter!
