Enduring appeal

Mama loves Audrey Hepburn and her movies. I remember we were watching ‘Roman Holiday’ and ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ together back in Bukit Panjang. That was, well, way before Gabby was even an idea.

I’m not really into romance, but I was captivated by Audrey’s appeal and her sheer performance. She was simply stunning; she's sophisticated, yet refined and stylish. I believe that she’s the one who immortalized headscarf as part of the feminine garment which remains an iconic fashion to this day. This classy, enduring appeal was also adopted by Supermodel such as Kate Moss.

Well, we have our mini-version of Audrey here. Yes, it’s our very own Gabby 'Hepburn' Hon!

One fine evening, she woke up from her usual weekend power-nap and decided to turn her coverings into a head dress. We didn't reherse this, and I don't think she has met Audrey (yet). But any resemblance is purely coincidental.

Willingly, she became our ‘Supermodel’ for the evening and offers herself for some photo-taking opportunities. Strickly for my camera only...

Heh heh… My daughter beri cute leh! “Baba xi bei hao lian…”

Same place, 1 year later

Late post. I simply had a hard time loading picts to this stupid blogspot until Rachel shown me the hows of using photobucket. Thanks Rach, if not for her, this blog of mine will turn rust and moldy. same function also happen in Facebook loh. Sign, what is wrong with them?????

Anyway back to my story.

We were at Ngee Ann City on 9th August, our National Day. I deeply remember that we had taken photos there about a year ago. So when I compared the photos that were taken then and recently, Gabby has grown so much. She no longer look babyish ( to me, she still does look one) and has 'promoted' to the 'angelic' 2 ( I refusse to use the word Terrxxxx). She is so mobile and agile that we have to constantly follow her when we are in the mall/crowded places. She does 'disappear' among the crowds.

Anyway she does have her cutie sides too, so much more that this post can't contain all. Just to name a few (in case you guys start falling asleep), she is more willing to share food with us (without we asking), always offer her cheeky smile whenever we got mad with her (by doing that, most of time she got away from canning) and always make funny faces to cheer us up (will try to take picts if we are fast enough).

Cut the long story short, these are the proofs of her growing up.

Funny hats

We were @ Ikea Tampines 2 wks ago, caught Gabby putting on her fav hats.

The Birthday cake

The Fruit basket

These days, whenever she get change to new sets of clothes, first day she would do is to admire herself infront of the mirror. Did I also mentioned tossing her hair too?

How do I Look

We were at Kiddy Palace CCK last Saturday. My vain gal took this shade from the counter and wore it (with my assist).

Lately, she is more conscious of her appearance. She would protest if the clothes are not to her liking. Also, we have to praise her if we do want her to wear certain clothes. Example: "Wah, Gabby is so pretty, mei mei leh." You know what I mean.....

Guess she has the daddy's genes, which mean more shopping. Yeah......Hee hee........ :)
