Gold Charmer

When Mr Yap told me that some pythons were coming to our house for an editorial photoshoot for Robb Report March Issue, I freaked at the thought.

Imagine these cold scaly reptiles slithering on my floor...EEEEEEE

The whole day at work, I kept thinking, "snakes are at our place snakes are at our place, snakes are at our place." As soon as the work day ended, I was on the phone, checking with Mr Yap how his photoshoot went....

The pictures speak for themselves!

In fact, the pythons, according to Mr Yap, were absolutely the best models to work with. Calm and elegant, they were so easy to mold into whatever position he wanted them in. By the end of the shoot, Mr Yap was practically playing with these charming creatures. 

These pictures had me wishing I was at the shoot! Would I touch these snakes? I don't know. The thought still kind of freaks me out... but seeing Mr Yap embracing them makes me a tad jealous!

Pearls...growing on me!

Mr Yap loves a lot of things in life, especially jewellery. One of his favourite - pearls.

He has been nagging at me to dress up with some elegant pearl jewellery, but I've always thought pearls were a little bit...erm...aunty-ish mature. So when Mr Yap suggested that we should go pearl necklace shopping last weekend, I politely went along. As I've recently undergone a major surgery which left a big smiley scar around my neck, Mr Yap thought a pearl necklace would be a great fashion accessory and also a good concealer!

We found a shop in Orchard to customise the pearl necklace that we like: we chose a sizeable lovely white pearl necklace with a hint of pink - there's always gotta be my favourite pink! At the same time, we also made a simple pair of earrings to make it a set. With the bracelet that Mr Yap got for me from New Zealand, I've got a happy family of pearls sitting on my dressing table!

Pearls do grow on you... I started out as a skeptic, thinking I'm too young for 'real' pearls, but now, I love Mr Yap's latest gift to me. Chinese New Year LOTD, here I come!
