A beautiful prayer for Japan by Paulo Coelho

We pray for Japan

Its so sad to see one of my favorite countries look so devastated on the video clips online and on the news. :(
no words can express those terrible pictures of the tsunami destroyed land. Sigh!
Say this prayer today for all in Japan!

I'm back!

Ok... i know I've droppped off the face of my blog for a really long time!
hehehe, being a mom really does sap up every bit of spare time.
But things are getting a bit better since the little boss is more grown up now.

So, with my new found free time, I have started a new online store! :)

Canvas Print

I recently managed to get a giclée print of one of my doodles done! :)
I'm really glad with how it turned out... yay!

Here's sam... I somehow thinks he looks like a guard at the museum here!

2010

Oh boy!
Its been eons since the last entry!
baby's been keeping us on our toes that i hardly notice the time flying by!

Just got news from a friend yesterday that they are expecting twins due in July!
WOW wee! how exciting! :D

and this year I aim to do something with my doodles!
been sitting on this for way too long... time to get cracking! :)

Daiso here i come!

Hahahha, i've never made it out of Daiso empty handed... NEVER!!

there's always so much things to see and buy..(even though I might not really need some of them, but, heck!!)

After a long time of not stepping in there, hehehe.... look what i got!

They're lovely...!
the minute i saw them sitting on the shelves there, i knew i had to get them!
HAHAHAHA... never mind that they are a little too small, they're cute, and that's all that matters! :P

How Google Maps’ Streetview Works

Cute animation! :)

Doodle- Toadstool forest

We've been having slightly damp/humid weather off late...
and on the way to mom's house i noticed a little collection of toadstools sprouting up along the side walk. How cute!
There's something about toadstools that seems mysterious to me.
They spring up out of no where and then disappear after awhile.

But while they are around, those little clusters look like a little magical forest! :)

A Prayer for Fleur

I came across Fleur's blog sometime ago and after a while, we communicated by visiting/leaving comments on each others' blogs.
Fleur is a brave lady (although sometimes she does not admit it) who is fighting cancer. Off late, she had not been updating her blog and this got quite a few readers worried and we soon found out that she wasn't doing too well as her liver had failed to function.
But her family has said that she is still fighting on.

They have requested prayers for her today, Psalm 23 at 9pm.
I'm praying for God to give her strength during this difficult time... join me!

Up (up and away!!)

Managed to catch this animation sometime last week.
Very well done i must say! Good job to Pixar on the story line and graphics!
Its funny, touching and exciting all at the same time. (It managed to make me shed a few tears even! which was embarrassing when the lights came on :S... must be the hormones acting up!)
We watched it in 3D... I thought the big glasses were a tad cumbersome... think it'll look just as good on the normal screens too. :)
Have you watched it yet? Go if you haven't!

Illustration Friday-Modify

(Geee, its been a while since I posted on IF... been real busy!)

Lately, my tummy feels like it has become a balloon... changing in shape and size...
(Hehe, if you had noticed my new blog, you'll know what i mean!)

Visit to Fruit Paradise@ Orchard Central

Decided to pop by this new mall along Orchard Rd yesterday for a look see yesterday.
Hmm, looks like a nice building to get lost in. Oh and let's not get to the number of escalators that are in this mall!
They are EVERYWHERE!! They also have ultra high express ones that get you between 4 floors in a jiffy. (but a pain if you happen to get on a wrong one and want to get off at some floor in between)
Anyways, one of the reasons for the visit was to try out Fruit Paradise, the japanese pie cafe which i had read about. Oooh, the pies in the display are really pretty and remind me much of the ones I had seen in japan. Yummy!!

Quite a few flavors to choose from...


Decided to go for the blueberry one as it had a custard filling. Some of the others were just filled with cream, lots of it! (eeeks :S)
Verdict: Yummy! The pie crust was good and crunchy. And the custard filling was good and the fruit toppings were fresh too. But if you hate cream... or on a major diet, hahaha, maybe you should try some place else. :P
And good place to rest your feet (its a plus if you get the seats at the further end coz there's the window view and more privacy.)
