Ripped tee and family day

by - November 13, 2010

Went to Greenhills today with the family, because Athan's Wowa (Lola) will be going to Sydney next week for 6 months and we wanted to have a little get together before she leaves. :) First we went to Toy Kingdom to get Athan some toy cars, since his Wowa won't see him for a while, she wanted to spoil him with toys. :) Then, we had lunch at Max restaurant and it was really good. I haven't eaten at Max for long time and I missed their crispy chicken, potato soup and special buko pandan dessert. :)

Ordering time + Athan's trucks =p

After lunch we headed to Promenade to look around and we stopped by our favorite toy shop; Hobbes and Landes. I swear, Gersh and I have this huge love for toys even though we've surpassed our teen years already. We're still kids at heart and I think that will be a big advantage for Athan. Hihi. ;)

He ended up getting four mini figures and these were really his top picks!:) The sales staff of Hobbes and Landes, Promenade we're very accommodating when it came to Gersh's questions about the item/s and it's because of them why he got what he wanted, even though he couldn't see them. Kudos to the staff!

While the boyfriend was paying for Lego, I told him knowing that it was our 41st Monthsary yesterday that I would get one mini figure for him and with that gesture, he also asked me if I wanted the wooden Octopus bag charm that I've been ogling at since we got inside the store and I was like a kid asking her parent with pure giddy factor, "REAAAAALLLY??^_^" With a big smile plastered on my face and so there, we both got each other gifts, even if it's really not our tradition to give presents every monthsary. :)

Meet Ollie the octopus. :) Thank you, Bie for this! I love you!:-*

Of course, if we had our fair share of treats, Athan has to get his as well. So, we bought tokens and rode this cute pink mechanical giraffe...

I told you, we're such kids!

"I wonder where Athan's taking me..."

After our kiddie escapades, we headed back to Gersh's place to rest a bit and have merienda, which Athan absolutely enjoyed...

Big mouth: NOM!

And now to segue with my title above; "Ripped tee." Basically I really don't use this top when it was still a t-shirt and it was sorta a long top, but since I figured I don't use it that much, I might as well do something about it so I can use it more often. I got me a pair of scissors and snipped the shoulder cuffs and back part, hence bringing the effect of a ripped tee. It's my first major DIY when it comes to clothes. At first I was scared of deconstructing it, but fortunately it wasn't a decision to regret. What do you, guys think? :)
