This is an incredibly pretty shop just outside Bras Basar Complex along Seah Street that sells gorgeous crafts & charming wooden knick knacks. People who love natural material & guileless designs should check it out.

When I went there, they were having a kind of local exercise books exhibition where they display (& sell) modified rustic excercise books that comes in all shapes, sizes & lining. (OoOooh, I remember the dreaded gridded ones with paper so thin you'd never fail to rub a hole everytime you attempt to erase something)

Transportation woes & a dreary wet week has kept me in the house, really. Now, all I want to do is snuggle in my bed & read a good book.

There is something about Thailand - its superb food, rich culture, great scenery and also some of the friendliest people this side of SEA - that makes it such a lovely country.

I absolutely adore this artist's works.
Especially her artwork novel series, My Way (我的路), filled with stardust & sorrow.
I can't find her books anywhere in S'pore except in the library & the China publisher doesn't ship to S'pore *heart breaks* - so now I'm contemplating on borrowing the book, never return it, pay the fine & live happily ever after.

*Oh, dear. Lydia resorting to robbing libraries?! Tsk tsk.*

Oh those psychedelic moments when you look through your baby photos & go 'the hell...' at the ridiculousness of the poses snapped. Yes, that's me being used as a human mop.

Mum to Grace, "Look at the camera, act constipated & Smmiiillee!!!"

Why am I looking through baby photos when I'm supposed to be studying for painful exams?? Because the number of days to the exams are inversely proportional to the rate of procastination. That's why.

Time to plug in my wires and oil those brain gears. The ritual cyborgdization every semester will commence!!

Making of the hard cover book:
Hardcover books has always been nerve wrecking affair for me. From the point you smear glue all over your cardboard pieces to the dastardly in-pages *I truly revile in-pages*, the risk of a badly done book casing or the odd air bubble is always imminent.
But, I'm glad this turned out ok!

Above: While I loath gluing in-pages, I'm really please with my water droplets pattern! *blush*

That's the hard cover all done & ready for the book block!

Voila! Muahahaha!!
Couldn't stop touching and admiring my book after it's finished. Stroking its smooth cover and giggling insanely to myself of a job well done. Yes, I'm a book pervert. A mighty proud one.

这几天超级无敌忙!! Pardon me, so here is another ultra lazy post with more of the stuff I'm doing.
Mui fan & Tom Yam soup that looks nothing like it! Whoo hoo~
I realise my scanner saturates the colours of anything I scan, even after correcting the settings. This gives my paintings a more vibrant look & washes out the minor flaws. On the flip side, I notice many of my pastel watercolour details are lost.... Oh bugger!
