Between grants, interview, conferences and art...

So, past 2 weeks have been a whirlwind of events !

Mentioned about the conference I attended last

week in previous post...

Euphoria of winning the YIA has ebbed ;(

Last Thursday presented myself for an all important interview :)

Received aa email on Friday from them...

Glad to say that the outcome was favourable...hehehe...

suffice to say that I am relieved...

I don't have to revert back to desperate tai-tai status..lol.

This week I have been kept busy with putting

together a grant proposal

It's my first one so learning curve was steep...

I am thankful that there are people willing to

help and guide me through this.

Thank you.. you know who you are :)

Lastly, was in a creating frenzy over the weekend...

between all the homework for the grant,

chasing after O-boy and doing the laundry & dishes...

I managed to make some pretty pretty things.

Warning : invasion of your computer screen with tonnes of photos :)

Title: Inspired

(have yet to pen down my thoughts for this one

afraid that if I do it would sound extremely scientific

grant-fever leh ...hhehehe)

close ups ..love Amy B's new line

Made a lil altered art with the acrylic album I bought sometime back.

Used one of the pieces..the rest still naked :)

Used Amy B's papers again...

This one says:

Memo...to self...

Do what you love,

Love what you do....

ALWAYS.

Title: bubble boy

Journaling:

who would have guessed looking at O

dancing amongst the bubbles

that he was petrified of them

only 2 months ago

he has conquered his fear of bubbles.

look at him now !

mummy and papa are so proud of u !

Lastly, made this little card.

Card says :

Lets go dancing.

hehehe...this was a fun one !

loved dressing up the little owl :)

That's all for now.

Sorry for the overload.

Thanks for dropping by and wish me luck for the grant.

*hugs*

A lil good news !

I was at a conference on Tuesday to present a part of my research findings.

The presentation went well (I have presented this piece of work countless times but mostly to my team members *shy*). It was a 5min slide presentation followed by 1min Q&A. If memory doesn't fail me, I remembered answering the judges question fairly okay.

Yesterday, while on E leave (O was down with fever) I received an

SMS from my supervisor saying that I won the YIA.

My first thought was "huh?"

What's YIA?

I had actually won the Young Investigator's Award....hehehehe...

mind you, young is anyone under 40 years of age...hehehehe....

So, with this award came a cert and some prize moolahs.

I am beaming...

I still have a silly grin on my face since yesterday.

Happy...Happy...Happy !

Young...yes...I like that title :)

watch me GRoW

O at 26 months

tutu.24.7.365

when i saw this Luxe paper I knew I had the perfect photo for it
journaling is mostly about O's relationship with
his beloved tutu (pacifier/dummy) and
how the hubs has to set aside some moolahs
for braces for his son.

tfl !
