Tree wall for Happy Hour

Work has really been busy and stressful these days. Last time I told you we were expanding so things were getting a bit messy with all the equipments coming in.....wrapping papers, boxes, bubble wraps etc. Being a neat freak this is like one of my worst nightmares. I am constantly chasing after the workers to pick up things they had left behind on the ground. They definitely felt like I was a crazy lady! Then just when all the hardwares were installed, there came with the delima with software. We needed to upgrade not only our current electronic system, our current PCs were just not cutting it. So off we went to shop for desktop, scanner, better bigger monitors etc. I feel like we have been just spending money and running around for various items. The life of a business owner....
Last night at the end of the day we were exhausted and starving. We decided to just hop into the closest cafe to have early dinner. Surprisingly they were offering Happy Hour so we gladly obliged and ended the day with a giant slice of lemon cake (yummy).
One of my Instagram friends commented that she'd never seen me in monochromatic colour before. I was feeling amused when I read her comment but then as I scrolled through my stock pictures, she was RIGHT! I was always in some sort of colours, normally bright colours too. Well, I guess this is one of the rarest outfits you'd see me in, grey and black :) Thanks for your patience listening to me rant. Fingers crossed for our upcoming development at the office :)

Crisp spring air

We are having the warmest February I can remember! Blame it on global warming but one can't help but feel slightly "lucky" to have such nice and sunny end of winter days here in Portland. All the cherry blossom trees have been "tricked" and they are in full bloom right now. I will have to snap some pictures and show them to you before they are all gone!
I also have not been wearing my Balenciaga motorcycle jackets that much this winter. I remember when I first bought them more than two years ago I practically was living in them (yes them, I have two). Since they are the most expensive clothing items I have in my closet, I am careful on when to take them out. Being as rainy as Portland can be, as you can imagine I don't get to wear them that often. Anyway, I think it's now safe to bring them out again. The best thing about these jackets on a warmer winter days is they look better unzipped. I think my new necklaces are happier this way too.
More work stuff this week. It is going to be a mess this week as we organised everything in my office but hopefully everything will go smoothly! Have a lovely week and thanks for reading! <3

A typical work attire with PS1

I have been MIA again in the past week or so, I know. I have the perfect reason/excuse, if you can hear me out. After we first opened the office for 10 years, we have finally decided it is time to expand. We want to install a second exam room to accommodate our growing patient base. As you can imagine the work that needs to be done before this can happen. We have been busy doing our financial planning, talking/negotiating with suppliers, bank, our accountant then finally have to sort out new arrangement on where everything should be fitted in the existing space.
Well we are about half way into the process right now. In the next week equipment's will start to come in so I am expecting some messiness (hopefully not too much as I am kind of a neat freak) as well as adjustment both for us and our assistants but it all will be worth it :)
I should be blogging more regularly once everything is done. In the meantime, here is what I wore yesterday to work. One Instagram friend asked me how come I never show me actually AT work pictures haha. My answer is, it is your typical medical office setting and I am pretty sure you guys would not be interested seeing that :D.
Hope you are having a great day everyone, thanks for reading ;)
