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 :)

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
.
