We're moving...FINALLY!!!
13" MacBook Laptop Sleeve


Finally, we've come up with our very first Laptop Sleeve especially made for a MacBook 13" laptop in mind. It was modeled after my personal original MacBook sleeve, with wide zippered opening that opens up close to 3/4 of the sleeve, for ease of putting in/out of the laptop. Handles were added as requested by the first customer who ordered this.
Fully padded to protect your laptop, you'll be proud to carry this TRENDY laptop sleeve around, which is custom made to reflect your personal style with YOUR choice of fabric from our wide selection of designer fabrics.
Need this bigger, smaller or with other specifications in mind? Feel free to contact me for a price quote! I'd be happy to work with you to customize a laptop sleeve that meets your practical needs which is functional in every aspect, made for the Modern Women on the Go!

Countdown to "House Moving" Part 2
Cant believe that it's a mere 2 weeks from now b4 we move to our new home! Really excited & looking forward to it ^^
We thank God for his faithfulness & provision during our 2 month's interim stay here in Orchid Park Condo. Nice landlord/lady, friendly new tenant as well... & we'll definitely miss the "resort-styled" facilities here (aka the swimming pools & beautifully landscaped garden). What else? Ah...the food! We love the malay stall nearby at Khatib central, & the nice cozy cafe just a stone's throw away at the Community Club.
Not sure if this is true, but we assumed that lots of units at condominiums are probably rented out to expats, thus the high number of expats we see around us. Mostly mainland Chinese, Indians, Koreans & Filipinos. So, it has a nice "international" feel to this community ;)
Now that renovation at our new place has also started, we've got to start looking for furniture actively too. Well, mainly dining table, chairs, bed frame for our room & sofa set. All along I've always wanted white wooden furniture for the bedroom, but starting to think twice now... as I'm not sure if it'll look too "feminine" for a master bedroom, hehe...
Another close favourite will be dark wood, but will it look too imposing? The bedroom is small :( *sigh*...choices!!!
Then there's the dining table. I've spotted one that I liked, which was on 40% discount the last time we saw, but not sure if it's still around by now, hehe... & I'm hoping we can get a long bench to go with it, instead of chairs ;) I like to imagine that this dining table will also be a place where I'll be doing my work while the kids sit around drawing or doing their homework.... having casual chats/fellowship with friends over for a meal or cookies & tea, cell group? prayer...? Mmmm, this table's got a high calling! lol...
Cant wait now! Keep us in prayer over this "moving" & wish us the best ;)

Art for the Home


I came across Amy Giacomelli's paintings on Etsy one day, & cant help leaving my heart there. Love how the pieces are drawn with such life-likeness, artistically done.

Lower Seletar Reservoir
These pictures were taken at Lower Seletar Reservoir (near Khatib MRT), which is literally across the road from our present temporary place (Orchid Park Condo). It was a leisurely 5 mins walk away, & also our 1st time there. Imagine, we've been staying at Yishun for the past few years & never once came here! hehe...
All of us were relaxed after a short aftn nap this Sunday afternoon. It was around 6:30pm... so it was still pretty bright, but not hot anymore. The perfect time for a stroll with the family!
The park is small compared to the other reservoirs I've been to in Singapore. Namely Upper Pierce, & MacRitchie.
There were several people fishing along the banks & on the jetty. We also spotted a couple having some snacks & enjoying red wine while sitting on the rocks. Fortunately I remembered to bring some snacks for the kids, ;)
All of a sudden, I wish we had packed McDonald's burgers, nuggets & french fries! lol... it'll be so nice to enjoy those "snacks" sitting on the wooden planks of the jetty, enjoying the peace & quiet of our surrounding, yet just a stone's throw away from "home".

Mini Day Totes
The first time we made a Mini Day Tote, it was with an unflattering piece of floral fabric, with dark brown matching cotton. The reason we used that "unflattering" fabric was because it was our first attempt, & we want to be free to make mistake with it.

Going against the "colour" grain
Aren't these pretty? A customer requested these Accordian Purses to be made with this fabric & pink lining, instead of the usual yellow or blue.

"The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places"
When we "embarked" on our journey to purchase a new flat & sell off our present, we remembered to submit this matter to God in prayer. We asked Him to lead us with wisdom & to protect us along the way.

Bali Pictures Part 3 (Rama Beach Resort & Villa)



I booked a deluxe room for S$110, again through Agoda.Com , & was pleasantly surprised to find out that we were actually given a free upgrade, to a Pool Villa, which was several "notches" up in standard! The last I checked, the Pool Villa actually costs S$276!

This is the children's wading pool (the rectangle area surrounded by the pillars), whereas the area where the "waterfall" is, onwards, will be the deep pool.

Natalie looked plump here, but its because of her "posture" right before the picture was taken. She was sitting on a rock, right outside our villa.
Love how big & spacious this bed was! It's actually the size of 2 super single bed joined together...but, a single bed :D The 4 of us can fit in here comfortably, with enough space for 1 more person actually ;)
Again, the kids simply loved the bathroom with its full length bath tub, generous floor space, and 2 separate cubicles for the toilet, & shower area.

Hans & Natalie right before an afternoon swim, again...hehe..
We enjoyed our dip in the pool on the last day of our stay. Our flight was 3.15pm, so at a late morning, we just relaxed in our own room, playing water in our own private pool, before heading to the airport after lunch time.Thursday, August 6, 2009
Bali Pictures (Part 3)
Had a brief chance to be a "wedding photographer" to my 4th brother in law who resides in Canada with his wife. They've been married for 3 years, and this trip back to Indonesia via Singapore proves to be a great chance for them to take their outdoor wedding pictures.
I thought it's a really great idea. They bought their own suit & gown (which she bought off the rack for only Canadian $90!) No expensive studio & photographer's fee! In Singapore, they took outdoor shots in the Botanical Garden, Labrador Park & other nice places... taken by a friend whom they flew in from Jakarta. This friend do it for free, as he wanted them to be his model for his personal portfolio profile, while they simply paid for his airfare & lodging while in Singapore.
Since our whole family were holidaying in Bali, this 1st hotel that costs Rp 350,000/night (S$50) proves to be private & has nice backgrounds that'll be great for another outdoor shoot. So they took out their wedding gown & suit (crumpled & all...lol) wearing slippers & sandals, and asked my other brother in laws to take more pictures for them. Many of them turning out really cool btw!Thursday, July 30, 2009
Tanah Lot, Bali Pictures (Part 2)
It was hot in Bali, & especially for travellers, we really need to keep drinking lots of water & fruit juice to keep us cool ;)
These were taken on the long stretch of road leading to the beach, at Tanah Lot. I love shopping at all these street vendors. But, you must always bargain, with a minimum of 50% from the opening price.
Towards the end of the road, leading down to a flight of steps. I heard the view there at sunset was breathtaking. Well, we didnt stay to watch that, hehe...

I'm back from Bali! (Pictures Part 1)
I'm finally back from Bali! It was a short trip, but quite a "fruitful" one...hehe...depends on how you want to translate fruitfulness ;)
I'd always wanted to check out Bali Silver, which are usually quite costly in Singapore, or anywhere else! And I was pleasantly surprised to find out on our 1st day, that the guide my bro-in-law hired is actually bringing us to a place that sells Bali Silver ;)
The guide cant help but comment that he should allocate a whole day dedicated to shopping... hehe... cus what he thought will be a short trip to the Bali Silver place, ended up us staying there for several hours! Well, half of our big group are women, thats why, hehe...
I was starving already, & really enjoyed the food, even though I don't normally enjoy duck meat. It's deep fried, till crispy. The chilli dish/sauce is really tasty! I especially enjoyed the one pictured below with shallots & other ingredients thrown in (I'm not sure what, as I'm not really a culinary expert) and of course the other "sambal terasi".
We loved the lush greeneries in this huge eating place (restaurant?). These type of eating places are common in Indonesia, but not in Singapore. This particular "restaurant" has the "cottages" at the side, for private dinings for each families/group of friends. It has ponds, & mini rice fields at the sides. Beautifully landscaped!Wednesday, July 22, 2009
