Look what I’ve got!! Such beautiful ATCs and giraffe accessory from Tina!! Really loved all these, seeing them makes me soooo happy. Thank you very much, Tina!

收到了,收到了 – Tina的手作卡片和熱縮片吊飾!! 很漂亮吧?? 看著它們就覺得心情好好唷. 太謝謝妳了,Tina!

This exhibition was held at Basheercityroom Gallery (Bras Basah Complex, 4th Floor). It features plushies and other artworks by Mari-san from Japan. Really love these apple plushies ~ soooo cuteeee!!!! My favourite is the wedding couple.

最近,來自日本的Mari-San在新加坡辦了個絨毛玩具展. 她所創作的蘋果絨毛玩具實在是太可愛了,而且手工十分精細喔!! 我的最愛是以上這對蘋果小夫妻.

There was also a collaboration between Mari-san and Nico Teo from Singapore. You can read more about it from Nico’s blog.

這次Mari-san也和新加坡的一位創作人Nico Teo合作,共同創造出別具一格的玩偶. 到這瞧瞧吧! >

And of course I got to grab some of these lovely postcards home. I like the top two on the left most.

回家之前,我選購了幾張即可愛又美麗的明信片,當作紀念.

Her name is Joanna Wang.
She’s only 19 years old.
She has a pretty nice and low voice.
I love this mandarin song of hers: 有你的快乐(公视“我在垦丁天气晴”片头曲)
Feels so soothing after listening.
Check her out at YouTube. ^o^

她,叫王若琳.
她,只有十九歲.
她,有把蠻好聽的聲音.
我,特別喜歡這首歌: 有你的快乐(公视“我在垦丁天气晴”片头曲)
聽完后,覺得很舒服.

I know, I shouldn’t call you names….not that I want to, but all the things you have done in the past has put yourself in my blacklist! You have no competitors at the moment, simply because I tried not to blacklist anyone. But I guess you have really stretch my patience/tolerance level to the maximum!!!!

You will be back soon…..I really hope you will : stop being so self-centered, stop acting as though you know tons of stuff when in actual fact you know nuts, admit any mistakes you make and not simply blame someone else, stop acting innocent, stop shooting arrows behind others’ back……in other words, stop all your NONSENSE!! Air in the department is “filty” enough, I don’t need further pollution……

很不願意把妳列入黑名單,但妳的言行舉止實在叫人吃不消!!!
妳就快回來了,希望妳以後:
- 別再自以為是
- 別再不懂裝懂
- 別再推卸責任
- 別再裝無辜
- 別再背後亂放箭
總之,別再無事生非!!!
部門裡的空氣已經夠”污濁”,不要再污染下去了!!!!

End of a marriage does not mean end of one’s life….instead, it should signify the beginning of a brand new future. The road will be tough, you may feel helpless every now and then…..but please bear in mind…..we are all behind you…..no matter what time, no matter where we are.
Buddy, be strong!!!! *hugs and kisses*

一段婚姻的結束不代表人生的結束,相反的,一個全新的開始正等待著妳. 未來的路也許很辛苦,妳也許會感到彷徨無助,但一定要記得 – 我們絕對支持妳! 老朋友,一定要堅強!!!!

It will be ACCA exam in 2 months time. I finally started going through my exam notes today but was very distracted by this zakka book, Natural Living, that I borrowed from the library. The author has a pretty interesting blog, please do pay a visit.

再過兩個月就是會計專業文凭考試了,我終於在今天拿起課本開始溫習. 可是身邊這本黑兔兔的”散步生活”實在很干擾人. 最終誰勝誰負,你猜到了嗎? (在這本書裏出現的几位朋友,包括黑兔兔,都曾出現在新加坡一個雜誌性節目-简单就是美2)

** Natural Living/散步生活 ISBN No.: 978-957040358-9

Did a quick carving of this little bee stamp while there’s some quietness at home. Pattern is from the library book (shown above) that I just borrowed this afternoon. The Artnic ink pad is really good, very thick ink. )

乘著沒什麼干擾時,我快手快腳刻了這個小蜜蜂橡皮章. 圖樣是從小间敬子的”橡皮章生活杂货”裡取得的. 還可以吧? )

Bought some ArtBox postcards for my collection recently. This new shop is super near my house, so there’s the danger of popping by everynow and then….

最近我家附近開了一間賣可愛韓國物品的店,ArtBox. 真是太危險了,我隨時會有沖進去買東西的可能!! 怎麽辦???

And I found this wonderful shop in town selling Decole and other Japanese items. They are really expensive but it seems like I can’t leave the shop empty handed!! I got myself a small mushroom container and Otogicco Stamp Set. The Bonjour Bunny cutie, which is a notebook and misc holder, is not from Decole but comes from Japan too.

糟糕的是,居然在市區找到售賣Decole和其它雜貨的專賣店! 敗家的我怎麽可能空手而歸呢? 哈哈!!! 所以以上的寶貝就乖乖跟著我回家咯!

These are for a friend that really loves and pampers me a lot!!!!!!!! It’s a calendar with magnet and a very cute balancing toy. They are on the way to her now.

這些是要送給一位遠在美國的格友. 雖然我們從未見過面,但她對我的關心和愛護真是沒話說!! 希望她會喜歡這禮物. ^o^

I’m tired and sleepy, but still wish to write this down….
Although my health has been pretty poor for the past 2-3 years, and my work & studies are not smooth sailing too, which means I’ve got no savings…..but I will always try to buy some items (zakka or non-zakka) or books & magazines to make myself happy. I know…..”it’s a waste of money”…..”why spend your money this way???”….that’s what most people will comment, including my family and friends. But they will never understand the joy of owning that little item that I’ve been thinking for so long!! I’ve never been able to tell them the joy of finding an interesting blog, of finally possessing a long awaited zakka book or magazine….they will never ever understand what’s there to be so happy about. Luckily there are the blog/flickr friends that I’ve “met” throughout the past 2 years. At least there’s now someone whom I can share my thoughts/likes/dislikes/craving/hobbies with. I see lots of colors in my life now….because of you, you, you…….thank you all, for making my life different.

(記錄昨晚的心情) 其實已經很累很想睡了,但還是想把這些寫下來….
儘管這兩三年來健康一直很差,工作和學業都不是很順利,所以根本沒什麼儲蓄….但若是看到喜歡的雜貨,書本或是小物品,我還是會買下來送給自己.對家人和朋友來說,那根本是一種浪費,但對我而言,那種快樂和滿足是無法形容的!! 一直覺得不能和家人,朋友分享這快樂,是我的一大遺憾.身邊沒有人聽我訴說某某部落格有多精彩,在書局找到雜貨書或雜誌有多開心,等等等…幸虧在網上可以找到同好門,我的日子才多添了一些色彩.感激這些從未見過面的”朋友”門….謝謝你們讓我的生命不同.
