Teachers' Day - A Truly Singaporean Fare!

A family member is a teacher in Singapore - these "cadeaux" or gift boxes were one of the many presents he received during Teachers' Day which is usually celebrated at the beginning of September. These lovely boxes come with little yummy chocolates inside. For me, the beautiful prints are enough to make any smile. It's like having Christmas early. Young or friendly teachers can get up to hundreds of these small gifts, great huh? :-)

Every year, the students here spend much time making or selecting special gifts for their teachers. It is really heartwarming seeing young people roaming around malls looking for gifts for someone that they look up to!

A foreign teacher interviewed by the papers said that he had wanted to stay in Singapore for just 2 years but ended up living her for 23 more years AND THE TEACHERS' DAY EVENT WAS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT MADE HIM STAY :-)

Food Fashion Week in HK

On a recent trip to HK, we ate a whole lot of food - especially Chinese dim sum and desserts. Not only were they delicious, I notice that they were also dressed up in a most fashionable manner! Now see for yourself, but don't drool on my pics, OK? :-)

Salmon with Shanghainese Chopped Chives - Wild, wild, wild! It has to be Alexander McQueen (sob sob he died!)

Black Sesame Kueh - Gucci, no?

Red bean Twin Rolls - hmmmmmmmmmmmm, Dior, elegant, beautiful and yet formal!

What you can think of, in this case?

My first jewellery collection

Hi there, my friends,

You have found us! Thank you for visiting our blog!

Most recently, I have taken on the hobby of jewellery making. My mini collection consists of chic but affordable pieces for the fashion conscious. My beads and parts are sourced from the U.S., Hong Kong and the Philippines.

My friend and I are also in the process of launching an e-shop presenting glass jewellery from our French designer friend, Ms. Ponsar. A second collection by our Bangkok-based designer will also be out soon.

The 3rd to 6th pics are my work. The applique necklace is the most difficult to make - it took me hours for I had to weave the shimmering silver-green ribbon into the lace piece! I love it, what do you think?

The first two pics are the work of Ms. Ponsar, she specializes in "stained glass" accessories. For her full collection, please click on this link.

If the item is in stock, it will only take us 2-7 days (no matter where you are located). For custom order, please allow two weeks. Our e-shop's website will be up soon. I will keep you posted...
