On my way back from Bali to Singapore, I thought I was in for an awful journey as I was next to a talkative couple on their way to Los Angeles on Singapore Airlines.

The husband, in particular, could not stop making comments and complaints, so I couldn’t wait for take-off and plug into the 98 channels the plane had to offer.

To my dismay, my TV system was not working. I sighed inwardly and resolved to focus on a copy of Newsweek and J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for the whole seven-hour flight.

“Excuse me, miss,” chirped an air stewardess. “We are very sorry that your TV is not working, so here is a Kris Shop voucher worth USD75. So sorry for the inconvenience!” Who needs TV when you can get a gorgeous pressie for yourself like this…

Miss Dior Cherie Blooming Bouquet is an Asia-exclusive release :O I was sniffing this at the duty-free shops and was dying to get this so it feels like kismet that this landed on my lap.

The opening notes are fruity, which is probably due to the mandarin essence but the dry down exudes a creaminess that makes you sigh and think of spring. The other main notes include peony and white musk. Sometimes in cold weather, I like to spritz on something light to lift the sombre mood of grey skies and incessant drizzle.
