Ahh, this was taken right after the locksmith left. The awesome day where we paid $60 to get into our house after a morning run. It was my fault! I took the wrong key.
Lizards don’t do so well in our home
My last photo of Ada, we were about to jump into a cab and I quickly snapped this one
It’s been a little quiet here and I think about it everyday. I’m kinda dealing with a shift in me, I know it’s there and taking place, I just haven’t been able to adapt so well. But it’s all good, great actually. I only need to get used to the new voices I hear in my head.
Are there question marks above your heads right now? Haha, well for example, I really don’t feel like picking up my digital SLR and shooting with it. And I kinda want to be stubborn and shoot purely on film. Even if it’ll take me a month to finish a roll and leave me with no material for my blog, I still want to. And if that’s not enough, I want to shoot only when there’s awesome sunlight to work with. Which is really hard considering how nocturnal I am. Yeah… shite like that is stirring in my head.

I know this isn’t a stunning photo or whatever but this afternoon, I packed a box and sent Ada off. She’s headed to London. And this evening, I collected my roll of film and saw this photo, my heart kinda sank and jumped out at the same time, if that’s even possible! I forgot I took this, and thinking back now, I’m pretty sure I took this photo unintentionally too. Subconscious mind, probably.
{I knew a week before I took the photo that she’s due in London. I checked my emails and iCal to doublecheck.}
I’ll be back tomorrow with some photos from the newly developed roll. I thought Ada deserved a post of her own today.

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!
