Hello hello! Last night was the happening launch event for Cosmopolitan Magazine Singapore at the Clifford at Fullerton Bay Hotel. It was a great and fun filled event with promises that this mag would be for the modern woman with helpful tips all the way from the boardroom to the bedroom. That's a tall order.

Meet the Equatorial Spitting Cobra

This is a picture of an equatorial spitting cobra, which is common in these parts. They are just like any other snake when cornered and will bite. But there are several species of cobra that have a unique feature: they will spit venom to defend itself.

The venom is harmless if on the skin, but has the potential to cause blindness if it gets in the eyes. Needless to say, these animals and children do not mix. We have a 2 feet long cobra running amok in the backyard/children's playground at the moment. Its been spotted for the past week sunning itself and exploring its new environs with reckless abandon. Children, dogs and adults are always down there using the yard for their own amusement. I know there are many animal advocates out there who would disagree with me, but I've already called animal control to get rid of it. It is up to them if they want to destroy it or simply relocate it, but in my mind - a venomous snake has no place where children play.

If i get a pic of the actual capture - i'll post it!

For My Cousin Margaret

Building Towers in the Sky

The day has ended and I am ready.

A little while, and my longing shall gather

dust and foam for another body...

A little while, a moment of rest upon the wind, 

and another woman shall bear me.

Farewell to you and the youth I have spent with you...

It was but yesterday we met in a dream.

You have sung to me in my aloneness, and I,

of your longings, have built a tower in the sky...

But now our sleep has fled and our 

dream is over, and it is no longer dawn...

The noontide is upon us and our half waking

has turned to fuller day, and we must part.

If in the twilight of memory we should meet once more,

we shall speak again together and you shall sing to me a deeper song...

And if our hands should meet in another dream

we shall build another tower in the sky...

A little while, a moment of rest upon the wind.

-Kahlil Gibran, poet.

Love Always,

Xenia

So Oroton!

Not too long ago I got to go into a flagship store in Marina Bay Sands and have a regular field day: which for me means dressing up, having my fotos taken, and taking whatever i wanted out of the cases to pose with. But when dressing up means picking a gorgeous dress from Lungta de Fancy exclusively at THE SOCIETY OF BLACK SHEEP, the flagship store is OROTON, and my photos taken by my best friend Zurina Bryant of ZURINA BRYANT PHOTOGRAPHY - its more than a field day.... its an amazing dream come true!

The Gold Heritage Clutch: a limited edition piece and gorgeous!

Trying the shawls... The O Silk Wrap.

Could you decide which one to choose?

I choose pink!

The Debutante Crystal Clutch - one of my faves! So sparkly!

Clutches are good, clutches are wise...

Dreaming of Oroton

The Across the Body Bag with a brass plate - uber cool! I feel so Tron!

There's always room for jewelry too!

Magic Bracelet? Awww yeah!

Thanks so much to Zurina and Diana of ZBPhotography for coming to play with me, Serena and Nina of Oroton for letting us come play in your gorgeous store, and Ilsa and Sau Yee for letting me play dress up in your closet ;).
