Early Christmas Dinner And Gifts!

Last Friday was a gloomy day for me, following the loss of my brother's camera. I remembered tucking it safely in my bag before I left home. At Bugis Junction mall, I decided to take some pictures. That was when I reached inside my bag and couldn't find it! Seriously, I was clueless how it had disappeared. Has it grew legs and ran away for holiday? Anyway, nightmare. Without a camera during Christmas season is more than an inconvenice, it's a total disaster! Thank God, my brother was kind enough to forgive me. He even declined my offer to get him another one. I love you Kor Kor ('elder brother' in Chinese), you're the BEST!!! :* Well, I managed to get myself another camera on Sunday. It wasn't any fabulous camera. I figured since I hardly need to use one (except for my product-shoot), I might as well get something from the lower price range. Afterall, I can do wonders with a lousy camera as long as I have my Photoshop. :) And. Because my brother didn't want me to pay for it, I can have the NEW camera ALL TO MYSELF! Happy~.

There was an early Christmas dinner and gifts exchange with some old friends last night. My NEW camera was put to good use. Giraffe restaurant and bar is located at Orchard Road, Istana Park, Singapore 238823 (opposite The Istana).





















Frankly, the food wasn't that fantastic but with this kind of ambience, I'm not going to complain.
























My bunch of crazy friends. Oh, I love them all. :) For more insane photos, pls visit my facebook here.





















Thank you for these adorable Hello Kitty polaroids, Eva!

Pressies for the lucky draw!~

And I got these!!

Though I really wish to have these....

Camwhoring even in the restroom.



More Christmas lightings...





I hope your weekend was as great. :)

Animals Etsy Time~

Yay. I'm done with my Christmas shopping!! No wait, there is actually one more to go. Because you see... after some struggles, I decided to keep one of the gifts for myself. Haha! Not to worry, I will get it replaced by tomorrow. :P

Now that the shopping is almost done.. I'm getting bored. I figure I should do some Etsy feature again??? Good. I hear some excitement going on already! Today's theme is not going be Christmas.. too many Christmas topics everywhere. Let's see... I've done 'Whimsical', 'Jewelry', 'Cute Stuff', 'Surreal Art' and 'Adorable Art' theme.. (Pls click on the names if you'd missed the post). How about 'Animal' this time? We all love Animals anyway, don't we? Without further ado.................................

Acrylic rings from qift. You HAVE to check out the store for other adorable designs!
































Weenies! Yes, this is my Nono. Perfect reason for me to get one !!

Babies/toddlers are so fortunate these days...check out these organic natural wooden teething toy from littlealouette. What have we got to chew on during our times? Fingers? Clothes? Bolster? Did I just reveal my age?

















Wool baby animals in egg carton from Asherjasper. A.d.o.r.a.b.l.e!
Ps: Vicky is away on a holiday.. pls contact her for more details on these cuties.
























I know 'Snow white and the seven dwarfs' are not animals (hey, I read fairytales too!) but I have to throw in this as well. I'm sure you understand why.

OOAK (one-of-a-kind) handmade pendant from KatyScudieri. I wish I can create something so delicate.
























Wood burned peg rack and bookends from Inspiredbymarie. I love the 'country feel' of this store..


































Needle felted dogs from KaysK9s (may be customised). Would you have thought these are photos of real dogs if I hadn't tell you they were made from wool? I take my hat off to Kay! Recently one lovely blogger friend of mine lost her beloved dog, Rosie. Koralee, I hope this is a good way to keep your beautiful memories of Rosie. :)



Chicky five stones beanbags from Aruricards. This has to be one of my favourite childhood games (even though I played lousily). Sadly, these adorable beanbags are sold out. You may want to contact Aruri and try your luck. She's a really nice lady, I'm sure she'll be happy to help. :)

















Handmade wallets from DearSukie. I tell you, this is one tough store to shop at. Over 200 exquisite wallets to choose from, you'll be spoiled for choice!



Porcelain mugs from Laurawallstaylor. How sweet to share your cup of coffee with these little friends.. :)
















































Lastly, Chicky doodle dish from Loveartworks. Also known as the 'Cutest EVER' Little Chicky Doodle Dish. I couldn't agree more.








































Alright, that's all for today! :) We're one more day closer to Christmas!!!!!!!!

When Nono Meets Milo

Seeing him everyday makes me smile......

The look that has melted my heart countless times.















When he makes faces like this, I couldn't love him more.














So what makes him happy? Scratchings on his head/ belly.. treats, durians, papayas.... new toys, play-time and...............
















...new friend!

My brother's girlfriend is the proud owner of this handsome boy named Milo. Milo came from the same family as Nono (Dachshund) except that my boy belongs to the miniature breed. You'll see the difference when I tell you their age. Nono is more than 7 years old and Milo is merely a year old. Their build may appear similar from these photos but in fact Milo is slightly bigger than Nono. Funny thing was, Milo seemed much more mature and sensible than his elder brother. What a shame.



Nono was pretty reserved even on their third meeting. Who could blame him.. he was probably intimidated by Milo's build. Nonetheless, I hope Milo visits more often. They look so cute together. :)

Eggthree and Christmas Lightings at Orchard

Last night I attended the flea market held by ACRES at Loof. It was raining cats and dogs.. in the midst of a mad rush, I left my camera at home! And very unfortunately, the camera of my handphone has a lousy night mode function, so no photos taken :( Apart from that, it was a fun experience. We bought a couple of second hand clothes (donated by lovely folks) and guess what? The 32 cards I contributed were left with only 7 pieces at the end of the day! Thank you everyone who were there last night to show your support for ACRES and for my works. (If you're scratching your head right now, pls click here for my previous post).

Talking about photos, below are the ones I took at my lastest consignment store. Eggthree is located at Mandarin Gallery, 333A Orchard Road #04-26, Singapore 238859.






















































There is every reason for you to swing by now because the whole stretch of Orchard Road is so beautiful! I'm sure you wouldn't want to miss these...


















Oh I'm so looking forward to Christmas!!!!!!!
