Finito !!!

Yeah...we finished with our photoshoots today!! It has been quite tiring since we had to get up earlier to catch the sun and was catching it all over the house the whole day..haha! Sunlight is important for our shoots when pictures are supposed to turned out best with shots taken under those sunny and bright conditions.

Unfortunately, for one reason or another, some shots turned out grainy. Disappointed, but we hope you can forgive us, the amateurs. Lots of limitations and we wish we could deliver better.

However, rather than crying over what can't be undone. We managed to reconstuct one picture we took during our shoot in an arty farty impression to give you a mini sneak preview!!

Not too bad after all huh...we lurrvvee the effect!!New products are gonna be launched soon! Look out yah!

More than Meets the Eye

Found this interesting while visiting Venetian Casino @ Macau. Looking beyond ... ...Goes the same in life perhaps?

Wizard of Fashion

Hussein Chalayan

Described as: quote "a designer with the heart of an artist and with the brain of a scientist". His pieces are described as intense and conceptual, while reflecting cultural or socio-political themes. The experimental blend of fashion, art and animatronics is most intriguing. Does remind me of a particular fashion show of another amazing designer, Alexander McQueen, where the machines are skillfully crafted to evoke deep emotions (spring/summer 1999 finale). Personally I feel it's successfully provocative, with depth... truly avant garde.

So it's no surprise that one of the most innovative studio - SHOWstudio, got an exclusive behind the process and production. There's even a video in this article!

Five Petalled Flower (5PF)

(picture taken from Sony Ericsson's camera phone)

I just love this glass - the Sakurasaku. Got it from Gough Street, Hong Kong. (a little hidden lane - home of many designer products). We saw this online from 100% before and were wooo..haaaa...by what they had. At the shop, we also saw the umbrella stand which is another item that I quite like from 100%.

I've started using the glass today and placed it on my five petalled flower notepad which water got me. Look at the marks it makes!! 5PF 5PF 5PF 5PF...it's actually a mark of a sakura flower. Haha...I don't know why, but I'm just crazy about five petalled flowers and everything about it! Haha...

Our shopping trip has been quite fruitful and we can't wait to show you what we've got. Unfortunately, there has been some problem with the laptop and the SD card does not read the files in there, so we can't show them to you as yet. Geeezzzz... Anyhow, don't worry, we'll get it fix real soon. Promise.

In the meanwhile, why don't you get your christmas shopping list ready so it'll be easier for you to shop and decide the buys you wanna get later.

Here's a peek of Crushing Dried Leaves' choice of christmas gift ... ...It's a colorful acrylic/chained chic looking necklace. It was love at first sight. As we have only got a few pieces per design for stock, be sure to be quick to place your orders. Ho ho ho!!!

Our Latest Toy!!

We've never been that tech-savvy. Unlike many others who have changed their mobile phones once every few months, we held on to ours for about 2 years. Maybe there was a sentimental reason. Or maybe we did like the old phone. However we decided to get one 3G mobile phone for our coming escapades. After several mobile hunts, we decided on Sony Ericcson's K530. Boy did we realise that we were lost in time in terms of technology. As we got an upgrade with our price plan, our mobile phone did not cost us a cent. And thereafter we spent the rest of our weekend playing with our new toy. So happy!

Just a Call ... ...

When mobile phones were not the "thing" then in 80s & 90s, we use to chat using the fixed line from home alot more. I guess those days we could remember friends' home numbers better, fewer appointments were being cancelled last minute and we could somehow spend many more hours on the phone yakking/gossiping/updating each other on our lives/stories.

These days we have mobile phones and through that we could send text/picture messages. Otherwise, we could be on online messengers via the many various service providers such as MSN, Yahoo, AOL, Skype etc. Or even drop an email to the other party. With the convenience of such lower cost communication and several options, talking on the phone never seems to be the 1st priority.

Now that I think about it, chatting on the phone for hours seems like a thing of the past. Maybe it's gotta do with the age factor. Umm....perhaps...maybe?

So when Water called last night and we engaged into this really serious girl talk, I enjoyed it so much to the extend that I was actually eating my cheese, relaxing on my bed and going through the intense conversation with her. Well, I shouldn't be going into details of our call, but it had to do with strategizing, analysis and critical thinking. See....the depth we had to go into? I think we spoke for almost an hour and ended the call only because Water seems to be losing her voice (she was down with a flu, poor thing).

I found the call satisfying...if I may use that to the describe it. After all, my...my...it's been ages!
