Celebrated Rick's birthday at Peking House for their famous peking duck 北京烤鴨 (2-course). There were 3 different type of 2nd course to choose from: fresh lettuce wraps, stir fry bean sprouts and fried noodles. We picked the noodles.
The birthday boy
There were too much food to clean for just the two of us, so we "da bao" (takeaway) the leftover home for tomorrow. No wasting food in the house of R&D!
I actually planned to wear something colourful for tonight's affair but the sudden cold snap had messed it all up. So I dug out my woollen tights and put together something like this last minute....

The skirt is one of my loots from my recent Gold Coast trip. I had long for a puffy tutu skirt like this when I first laid my eyes on those selling in Portman. One of their designs was almost the same as this one but without the black ribbon. However, their length and the puffiness were just not quite right for my frame. This one from Aussie is just the perfect fit!
I think the get-up gives some French maid vibes.
Now, where is my duster?

You call 16 old??? LOL you're cute my dear. Wish I were at your age. I couldn't even remember how my 16 was like already, it's been tooooooooooo long!
Declan Isaac:
The tag says "Otto Mode" don't think it is of any famous or chain brand. I got it from a little shop in Broadbeach shopping mall.
Actually, I quite like your bohemian style lately. Quite different from you normal look but yet suits you very well!
emotionalistic:
Hehehe, yeah, it was my first time wearing this pair of earrings after been sitting in my jewellery box for more than a year!
oceanskies79:
LOL, you sure you didn't hide it somewhere? Hahahaha
Josephine:
Permanent + temporary. I had a digital perm few months back. I used ceramic curling tong to get the soft and big curls.
mistipurple:
Merry Christmas to you too Misti. Next time I'll call you out for a peking duck session ya. Hehehe
JustJasmine:
LOL, I'm not a model, just someone's wife. Hahaha. Staying beautiful has nothing to do with age or marital status. I think it is a life long mission for us gals. I don't have any particular secret per se but reading magazines full of sexy beautiful celebrities/models is my way of keeping myself motivated in this area. Hehehehe
Uncle Lee:
Thank you Lee. Wishing you and your family a merry Christmas and happy 2009!
Happy birthday to Rick!!
You wore the French maid attire specially for Rick's birthday? o.O
Thanxx!
Guess the fact tat no one knows me, no one bothers what i wear/ dont wear motivated me to have a change!
EastCoastLife:
Hahaha, it wasn't intentional.
Declan Isaac:
A change is good I guess. We all need a fresh new look once in a while.
Happy belated birthday to Rick, the winter solstice guy :)
I haven't eat peking duck for years already leh. Feel like eating it again, especially after seeing your photos :)

Chen:
