I was fascinated by how the painting could portray sunlight streaming in from the window before bouncing off the face of the subject. It looked like a photograph! I can’t begin to tell you how much I adore the interplay of light.

While we were in Prague, we booked tickets to Carmen at the Prague National Opera House. It was such a popular performance, almost all the seats were sold out, hence we were extremely lucky to get one of the last few box seats!

The performance was magnificent and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Here’s a short clip of what the opera sounds like. I’m sure it’s a tune that everyone would be familiar with!

It was a pity but they were kind enough to sponsor 2 packs of Blackmores Radiance for me to try out when I got back to Singapore. I’ve to thank Karen for passing the goodie bag to me! The supplement came together with a pillbox and a nail buffer. How very thoughtful. 🙂

Each pack comes with capsules for both day and night use. The ingredients for the day and night capsules are different, so you can take both capsules together to save time. It’s great for busy ladies who are constantly on the go, juggling between work, family and friends.

I picked them out randomly when I was in a hurry to get out of the house as I was running late for an appointment. I know this sounds rather dumb but it was a momentous occasion for me as it was my first time driving in a long time and I decided to throw myself at the deepest end of the pool by heading to the heart of the city, Orchard Road, on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Traffic was horrendous, to say the least, but I made it to Paragon safely and convinced (actually I pleaded with him) the valet to park my car after he turned away the other 3-4 cars in front of me (valet was supposedly full). 😛 You can’t imagine how grateful I was!

Anyway, back to the outfit. LOL. The cardigan was a bargain I snagged from City Plaza. It’s made of relatively thick knit material. I especially love the scallop polka dot collar which screams vintage preppy.

When your legs threaten to give way, you can always find a cafe and while your time away. It’s the perfect way to spend a leisurely afternoon!

JW and I stood across the river for a good half an hour just to take in the panoramic view of the magical city. You would too, if you were there. 😉

As for myself, it doesn’t take a genius to guess that I’m only interested in the factory outlets for Review, Dotti and Supre. 😉
