I am off to Bali for my birthday week! So i leave you with photos of pies because they’re unbelievably appealing to the eyes. I didn’t try them tho. This place is at L7 of Orchard Central and one of the staff told me off when i took photos which is why we didn’t bother to eat them.
Anyway! I wasn’t hardworking enough to schedule posts while i’m gone but, but but i promise photos of sea, sun and sand when i’m back. Now i have to go plant a million kisses on Fatboy before leaving!!
The medley of songs this year was pretty awesome, i was jumping up and down waving my flag in front of the telly! Then 8.22PM came, where Singaporeans stopped to recite our pledge. The Pledge Moment almost brought me to tears.
Happy 44th birthday Singapore!
Thanks to patlaw, i won myself a preview to Uniqlo’s opening at Ion Orchard on Wednesday!

It was a little tough picking out stuff for myself, i have to admit, i’m not much of a ‘basics’ person. My eye kept going to this magenta+blue flannel shirt but somehow it never ended up in my basket so alas, it wasn’t meant to be!
This is what i ended up buying with the $100 gift voucher (how generous Uniqlo!); it all came together nicely to make an outfit. So happy to finally own a handy brolly – you have no idea – it’s one of those things i can’t bring myself to buy.
{The tote, scarf and hanky was part of the goodie bag}
The ever amazing Diana of our.city.lights did an interview with me about photography + inspirations. She said the nicest things really! But i’m just so honoured to be a little part of her wonderful introductions of many truly inspiring photographers.
Thank you Diana!
{p.s. Do drop by Tangs if you’re in town today and tomorrow, i’ll be in the windows for 24 hours for the Blogathon (see behind the scenes photos + video here). You can vote for the contestants on location, read our blog posts and join us on twitter as well. I’ll have another post up once the Blogathon kicks off at 6PM, with all the links and details on how you can interact with all the 10 bloggers participating.}
Some pictures from the Night Festival 2009 at The National Museum, no crazy lights action this year, that’s so 2008 they say.
In the last photo is where we buried our hamster, Dexter, last year. At a quiet part of Fort Canning Park.
It’s been quiet, i’ve been away from my computer for the past two days. I spent time with my brother, my good friends and met new people!
Eileen of Shoe of Salvation was in town for a bit and i love this lady so much, i had to put my shyness aside and get out of the house to meet her yesterday. As always i’m way too awkward to take my camera out to photograph the moment but we took one before parting ways, i’ll put it up once E sends it my way. In the evening, i got to meet plastiqgurl and the FN girls – Dottie + Stephie, because i’ll be participating in a ‘blogathon’ together with the FN girls + seven other local bloggers.
The website’s not up yet but this is a teaser. The blogathon is happening the coming Friday (17 July) at the windows of Tangs at Orchard. ‘Blogathon’ because we’re gonna be in these windows for 24 hours! It starts at 6PM on Friday and.. without using my fingers to count, it ends 6PM Saturday! The organisers are Intel x Lenovo x Tangs. There’s gonna be challenges for us bloggers to compete in every few hours sorta thing. Do come and look laugh wave at us or me; i’m finding all of this very funny yet feeling pretty much fucked at the same time!
If you’re following my twitter, you’ll be seeing a lot of these #bthon tweets in the next few days to come. So let’s engage in some blogathon madness! Stress makes me talk funny, it’s not really me.
Hi! I’m Melly. I share photos of my life & my handcrafted goods here. I live in Singapore & currently shooting with an Olympus Pen-F.
