the saddest place on earth
A boxful of comforting goodness was sent my way from mimipong. Nothing beats opening my letterbox and see it stuffed to the brim.
There’s Weep, the tear doll / A guide to coping with sorrow / A handbook featuring collaborations with 25 artists in Singapore, Hong Kong and Macau / A set of vivid and saturated photos-turned-postcards of Weep hanging around Singapore
I heart the idea of the note pad sewn onto Weep, where you can pen down what is making you sad and give it a hug or squeeze for some lovin’. It’s a role reversal to me, no one really addresses sorrow openly. I’m actually beginning to feel Weep is more than just a blue plushie…
Weep comes in two sizes, one big enough to hug and one small enough to hold. There’s also limited edition artist dolls like this one, and it comes with a hankie pouch.
One for the photo album, Ada’s glad as hell she has a new company. What were the odds, blue and red? I took Ada along for a sleepover on Friday and she got called a ghost/Chucky the entire night!
Mimipong stocks at Strangelets, Rockstar and Cat Socrates.

I want to advocate buying handmade this Christmas but I’m having difficulty with it myself, I’ll admit. So if you have friends who are open to handmade (which can be rare outside this blogging community), buy handmade!
Oh my..so so adorable! I am getting one myself..for my sleepless weeping nights!Ha..
what a nice gift it would be!
I saw this at Rockstar the other day and was contemplating soooo long whether to buy it but I think whenever I look at it, i’d just be sadder ?
I love giving handmade gifts to my friends during Christmas. Nothing beats spreading handmade love!
Haha.. they were way more expensive at Books Actually… maybe cause those were the originals? Hmm I’m thinking of buying one!
this is SO adorable!
What a cute couple!
And what an amazing idea: hugging what make you sad…
the tear doll is so cute lar
Hi! I don’t even know if i’ve commented on here before; I’ve been reading your blog for months.
This is so adorable, and such a comforting idea. The world needs more things like it.
I’ve read about Weep somewhere and I thought it’s gorgeous… Happy Christmas & support handmade is the way to go : ) P:S Ada looks like a harmless waxed version of Chucky..hehe
what a sweet idea!
What a wonderful surprise to find in one’s mailbox! I love how the photographs progress as you opened the box. Oh and by the way, those shoes in your last post are sweet!
Ada!!!
Love the box. Your title was intriguing but misleading, in a good way
