heart-shaped chai tea bits from muji
the colour’s way off in the photo, anyway, these are my new shoesies! the Cali oxford from Dieppa Restrepo in gunmetal.
favourite shade for the moment, RGB’s Steel.
beautiful cards from yellow owl work shop!
nice on the outside and nice on the inside too. lemonade from marks & spencer
I’m no expert on black pepper but this one by Jamie Oliver is so darn aromatic and robust, I actually did want to nibble the pepper on its own.
So right this minute, I’m mentally exhausted from working on my Christmas cards, such a loser, you wouldn’t believe how many times I failed during the process! But when push comes to shove, I let go of my one and only idea and came up with something I like so much better. No more “ugh I want to die” and “I hate Christmas” coming from me, I officially am feeling the Christmas spirit.
I can’t wait to get them all done and mail them out! Some of which will be going to some of you (and hopefully in time)!
Just one last YAY!,
okay I’m gone.

I know the picture’s a little small to see the details so do click on it to see the larger version!
I’m still a tad high from the spontaneous energy a bunch of us had while working on this mini collaboration. It spanned two days? We tweeted, we decided, we did it. Basically four of us, Chups, Sel, Ser and myself (we were schoolmates back in design school) got wind of Crafty 2010 happening in October. We want to go but whined about the ticket prices for a bit. The super people behind the conference held a short “game day” to obtain discount codes so we thought, “let’s take advantage of that”! The task was to do whatever using the words ‘crafty’.
So yeah, each of us took an alphabet (some of us two) and put our own spin on it. No discussions of the direction we were each going for and I don’t know, somehow, I guess we all think differently no matter how similar we might be? WHICH IS AWESOME!
I could ramble on forever, it was just so fun altho a little frantic because I do things so slowly! Anyway do check out the Crafty 2010 website, you like-minded folks. I’m personally very stoked that something like this is gonna happen.
{Chups made C, Ser made R, Sel made A & F, I made T & Y}

I made bolognese sauce last week – a lot of it – because I’ve become a freezer meal person. I took the recipe and freezer meal idea from Real simple, I’ve uploaded a copy of it here. Remember to write the date down! (Same with all the ant & cockroach baits! Which I never do. And sorry for mentioning cockroaches when talking about food.)
Anyway if cooking isn’t your thing, here’s some worthy links to check out:
• New on The Selby; Rockaway Taco – I want to be a customer there or better yet, their homie!
• Street art at Pioneer Square in Seattle, the one of the hand… j.a.w.d.r.o.p.p.i.n.g
• Scroll down half the page to see some seriously good camera porn
I’m running late, I have to get ready and buy some shizz from the supermarket before heading to my folks’ for dinner and catch the National Day Parade on telly. It’s Singapore’s 45th birthday today!! Why I’m excited I don’t know!!!

HEYYY!!! I’ve just updated my etsy shop with these new babies. I used a different type of paper this time, painted some twigs to go in a different direction, played around with ‘draping’ instead of the usual ‘drops’. I really love a few of these so I hope they end up in good hands!
Also, my twigs were on some of these cool blogs (many months ago!) – For Me, For You, Color Collective, dee9:14. Thank you ladies, I was quietly very thrilled!
