My first attempt~~~

At making jewellery!

To be more accurate, it involves choosing the charms, adjusting the chain and putting everything together....

The below alone took me an hour with broken nails~~
But well... my nails are not manicured anyway.

And, it is for a very important friend.
So.... ( not sure if she is reading this, though she probably wouldn't know it is for her yet) do look out in your postboxes!
Should be sending it out very soon!

On another note... it is actually fun and I do quite like how it turned out to be. So hopefully this will be the beginning to a new hobby!!

And yes...Just in case if you are wondering about the choice of the charms, each charm is choosen very carefully with its own unique meaning which conveys what I want to say to that person.

New Toy!!

Had dinner with Lina yesterday at a nice little Spanish restaurant after work. The Tapas was just ok but the paella was pretty good! Got to go try out more spanish food soon!


Then we ended up ( or actually as planned), at Tokyu hands to look for new gadgets and toys!


Tokyu hands ( for those who ain't familar with Tokyo) is a place that people like SBP, Meiling or even my brother will go crazy because it is filled with everything other thing you need for your hobby. Art supplies, cooking and kitchen equipment, stationery to sum it all up, a one stop for all sorts of gadgets to make your life easier!

We spent all of our time at the kitchen section and I must say we haven't had enough! It was amazing and sometimes almost redundant to the point that they had every small and big thing for everything single chore. Eg, a different container to cook eggs at different hardness, cheese shedder... and even something to scrap your leftovers off your plates!

So... the below was my trophy for the day.

An Apple Cutter!!

This is really an life saver for someone like me who don't eat apples simply because I am too lazy to cut it. Besides that, it really saves the effort for people who like to drink fruit juices or serving a big group of people. This cutter ( as you can see) cuts the apple into 8 equal pieces, including removing the core in a second! Yup literally a second as you decide where you want to place the cutter. The cutting process is smooth and absolutely a easy feat for ladies as well.

Just to add, the cutting edges ain't sharp at all so it will not be dangerous for children as well.

So.. the start of a life with an apple a day!
