2011 began tumultuously for me and was punctuated by alternate periods of doubt and confidence, tears and laughter, teaching and learning; most importantly, it was a year that brimmed with meaningful, personal connections, both new and renewed.  I wouldn't have had it any other way.

On the right, the moleskines that I've gone through in the past three years; on the left, two new ones that I received this Christmas from two separate sources.  A testament to how much my family and friends know me.
 
 
the best part of being home for the holidays: playing the piano for hours on end, taking alarm-free naps at 2pm, 4pm and 8pm (darn jet lag), and spending time in the kitchen with my mother, whose knowledge of tried-and-true classic chinese pastry recipes is impossible to exhaust.
 
 
good tidings for Christmas, and a happy new year :)
 
 
_Have I yet gushed about how happy I am to be back on the continent of MUJI?
This is the christmas display at the MUJI store that I like to frequent during lunch hours.  I was glued to this table for a good ten minutes looking at every single item.  I want them all, from the whimsical christmas tree down to every last silly sumo skittle

(I confess that I am a MUJI-addict.  Perhaps one day I really will go work for Kenya Hara.)
 
 
It's been ages since i last updated my etsy shop!  These two cards have actually been hanging around for quite awhile now -- I've just been rather distracted since I stepped into Asia.  See the cards in detail here.
