Crisp And Refreshing

Never knew Vanessa Mae has such a crisp refreshing voice. Think having cold lemonade on a hot summer afternoon. And yes, we’re talking about the violin player here. Was listening to her “White Bird”. Lovely.

Helped out in keeping the av equipment today. Haha the huge “tangle” of cables and equipment got sorted out faster than I thought it would. Many hands make light work I guess. Wouldn’t mind helping out again.

Oh, bear wore a long skirt today. Never seen her in one. Hmmm.

Vintage Perfume?!?!?

Was helping mom with a lil bit of cleaning when I came across a bottle of perfume. You see, mommy doesn’t like perfume. She prefers to use the lily spray from Marks and Spencer. Anyway, I was telling her that the bottle of perfume looks really old. With such an “arcane” minimalistic design and the liquid inside has take on the slightest tinge of yellow.

Mommy, without looking up from her work. Remarked casually that that bottle IS old. Three years older than me. Making it 24 years old. Impressed, I took a closer look at it, which was when I found out it’s an Estee Lauder. “White Linen”. Goodness! That was a real shocker. A twenty-four years old bottle of Estee Lauder. Did some research online. Apparently it’s so old that Estee Lauder re-released it in 1996. am still trying to find out it’s exact launch date.

Found the whole incident rather amusing. Mommy has always been a typical mommy. Occasionally complaining that dad’s a boor/bore who doesn’t know how to be romantic, doesn’t buy her flowers, doesn’t buy her expensive stuff etc etc. Apparently, she doesn’t know that Estee is a rather huge brand. Till I told her that day. Goodness. If a bottle of Estee fragrance costs easily up to 100 plus bucks today, I wonder how much did dad get it for back then…. Hmmm. Still, it must have been a lot. Considering dad was only a mechanic back then.
