Ambigram

An ambigram is a typographical design or artform that may be read as one or more words not only in its form as presented, but also from another viewpoint, direction, or orientation. My inspration came from chance. I was waiting for time to pass after going to my bridal shop. There are alot of interesting nic nac shops around tanjong pagar if you have the time to explore. To cut the long story short. I saw an ambigram which is a door hanger. Depending on how you hang it. It will spell as Go away or Come in . So i decided to try my hand on it. And i'm so amazed with the results. This is completed in 30 minutes on a bus ride home. :D I hope you can read this? ah....don't tell me even if you can't. Too bad i can't find someone who can engrave it on my ring. (cheaply that is). But i made it into a sticker so i can stick it to anything i want! how cool is that.

Classical furniture pieces - i like i like!!

Are you like me? its my dream to have my home to be fully decorated in modern victorian decoration. I've been intensely searching and sourcing for related furniture. I've personally went down to check out the items for some shops. Classical Recaptured Enterprise One, 1 Kaki Bukit Road 1 #01-07/08 6749-1003 It has quite a range of colours. Red, baby blue, white, silver, gold and black. The furniture looks pretty sturdy. And designs are quite unique too. I was told the pieces are imported from France. And the dresser that i set my sight on has a unique identification number. How cool is that? But of course the price tag is huge too. Mahanttan home collection 116 Lavender Street #01-02 Pek Chuan Building Singapore 6836 3738 www.manhanttancollection.com.sg Per sales personnel, the furniture is made of solid mahogany wood. The seats are quite hard. Designs are classical and finishing pretty standard. The Cottage Crafts 37 Ann siang Road http://www.thecottagec...

How can it be?

I just bought a new ink authentic HP cartridge. It printed 10 pieces of 3R pictures. And the ink quality declined drastically. How can it be? According to the website it should print at least 300 pages. Ok i'm doing intensive printing for pictures but it should give me more than 50 pages at the least before giving up at least? Grrrrl. The shop that sold me ask me to go to HP solution centre at Alexandra Road. I've have to queue to exchange just one cartridge? Are you kidding me??? Frustrated.

Will you be my bridesmaid?

"photos are from weddingchicks.com" This is albeit of a corny way to ask your friends for help. But i think its quite a cute idea. But of course, i never did this. I did the traditional way. Asking them. The bridemaids are very important to my wedding. Girls i'm counting on you! Much love and thanks in advance.

For the bridesmaids

Tokyo Fashion. Online Shopping so so fun. Anyway, recently there is a sale at Tokyo fashion. What's different this time is they provide direct shipping to Singapore if you purchase more than 15 pcs. Its a super good time to rope in all your girl friends and make a purchase. I bought my bridemaids dresses at this spree. My sis and i combined and purchase 23 pieces of clothes at one shot. Eagerly waiting for the loots to arrive. I love online shopping. Its easy, fuss free and cheap. Quality is better than those purchases from Lion City. Price is extremely affordable. Some of the dresses i short listed: Check their website out now: http://tw.user.bid.yahoo.com/tw/booth/mayuki0920

Save the Date

Crocheted dolls - Japanese

My sis love the wedding dolls that i made for the photoshoot and decided to get a pair for her friends' wedding. As usual, the dolls look very nice. But the same thing happened to my sister. The agreed delivery date is delayed till 6 days later. And this gift needs to reach USA in August itself. This pair of dolls is very unique as the bride is in kimono. Having made the mininature size odolls, i do understand that its really quite tiring to repeat the same movement continuously and to make a bigger one is spells more hard work. Nevertheless delaying delivery consistently don't really reflect well. And to a blog seller, its even more important to build trust with customers. The dolls are still cute though. Sigh. By the way, the seller i'm referring to is Jullie's handmade. The perfect pair.
