When everything is priced at $2 each, you forget how much you are accumulating in the basket you are carrying. I was at Daiso yesterday and spent at least 1 hour in the store at IMM, going through the various sections and spending a little more time at the crafts section. Without knowing how many items I've got, I checked out at the cashier and to my horror, I got 19 items which I totally can't remember why there are sooo many items! Hmm....(anyway, I love the metal frames - in various sizes - I found to make purses and the punch to make fabric-covered buttons). Woohooo!
I am sooo glad the weekend is here and it's Singapore's 44th Birthday on Sunday so Monday's a public hols! More time for my photography, baking and sewing! Not forgetting catching with family and friends!
Anyway, I have bought a new 50mm prime lens with a UV filter and can't wait to start shooting away. While looking around for things to shoot at home, I found this bottle of wine that Sun gave me for designing her namecards and decided to use it as my subject! Here's one of the shots. I can't wait to take more photos with it when little Jeston comes over tomorrow and in Bali next week!
My little nephew is turning 2 in 23 days' time and an aspiring F1 driver! He was turning the steering wheel for at least 30 mins, pressing every button his little, tiny fingers can press - one minute the windows came down, another minute the radio was turned off. The only thing that he was afraid of was when the wipers came sweeping from one end to the other.
Happy Birthday Jeston!
In the past month or so, I was busy with taking photos for a friend's food business as mentioned in one of my previous entries. In the latest issue of U-Weekly, there was a feature on Cantonese food and her shop was one of those picked to be featured in this supplement and I am glad that my amateur food photos appeared in the feature! =)
I certainly hope this feature (and the photos) will bring increased traffic to her 3-month-old shop!
It's been almost 3 weeks since my last blog entry and I wished I had more time to bake or craft something. I have been busy helping a friend who has just started a food business take photographs for her menu and posters as well as doing up these collaterals.
It was challenging but an interesting experience playing around with the food layouts and "props" and setting up my DIY lighting tent with a box, white cloth and table lamp. Great for taking pictures of small objects indoors without any daylight. Definitely not the best pictures with my limited lens but at least something for her to start with. Here's one of the pictures, more can be found on my food blog (shall not turn this entry into a food writeup).
I wish I have some bakes or crafts to show you but stay tuned, I will be back soon with these, the things I miss doing so much! My KitchenAid is sitting on my kitchen top, telling me to use it everyday I walk into the kitchen. =)
Have a good weekend everyone!
I have finally bought it!! I have been looking at the beautiful mixers at Mayer everytime I walk past an outlet and have been wanting to get one. The hefty price tag was the only thing that kept me thinking over and over again. Then just a week ago, I received a mailer from Robinsons saying that there's a promotion on the KitchenAid® stand mixers and I told myself I should go get one! =)
When I opened the box, there's a card that says "CONGRATULATIONS! You just became the proud owner of a KitchenAid® appliance!" and yes I am! =D
A very pretty apron from my good friend - Dionne who has amazingly stitched the word "Chef" on the apron for me! I love it very much babe!
