My not so little little sister has definitely acquired an air of adultness (?) recently. It has always been a bit of a inside joke that Shivani was the perennial student. All this came to an end ofcourse last year when she completed her doctorate and moved back to Malaysia. She has since acquired a job (ahem!), a car and her very own flat. Sometimes people don't do anything for years and then suddenly they do it all. It is with great pride that write about this as she seems to have taken to good housekeeping and was having a rather long conversation with Esther and Jyanthi about 'magic mops'. Will wonders never cease?!

Last night we had a little do at her place which was a combination of a flat warming, birthday party and help Esther finish her wedding booze. The sign of a good party is surely when the security guard comes by to get you to turn the noise down. Last guests left around 3.30 am taking with them a whole duck much to my despair as I was hoping to eat some of that bird for my breakfast. Never mind, I have a month or so in Malaysia to eat as much duck as I want.

No way is that Shivani's house!! It's so clean and tidy and beautiful! Good to see that Divani nuttiness never stops and man, I wish I were there (but you can make me feel better by donating your dress so I stop crying into my soup).

I know, Laura, I've surprised even myself! The flat & I are very happy together. You must pop by sometime, for tea maybe :)

Laura, dress is only from Monsoon and was a gift from Rosie. I say gift but I mean cast off. I should hang with her more often to receive said cast offs. I agree with piglet, you should definitely drop by for a cup of tea. We'll even get you some kuih, which according to Wikipedia is a steamed sweet delicacy. Book that flight sweetheart!
