Wayneston Toys


I was invited to a flea market at National Muesum today to see Wayneston soft toys.  The toys is handmade by this young designer called Wayne, who is a graphic designer by day and toy maker by night.  The amazing thing is that he designs all the toys !!The toys cost around $200 to $400 depending on complexity and size. The fur is so real and so are the eyes.  He also conducts workshop for the bunnies mouse - costing around $200+ for 8 hours over 2 sessions. 
I am so tempted to learn but i worry that i am unable to see details and the sewing and really very fine.  Will think about it before deciding as the workshop is not very cheap.

Catch Up with ex SCGS Girls

I am back after a long long break. Fell ill in Year 2011 and everything went downhill. But i found God again and found a reason to live and be happy and be blessed despite my sickness.

Today i met up with 3 of my ex-SCGS school mates - Eleana, Jasmine and Serene. All of them was from the same class as me but i seriously seriously cannot remember what we did in the past although i remembered the girls.

Of course the one whom i have been keeping in touch with was Serene. We meet almost twice or three times a year for makan sessions at her place or birthday treats.

We arranged to meet at Bibigo, a korean restaurant at cityhall at 12 noon for lunch. It was also a belated birthday lunch for Serene gal whose birthday was on 24 April. I bought her a bouquet of sunflower for Serene.

I loved Bibigo food so recommended the following for the girls :
* bimbimbap
* seafood pancake
* fried wanton
* fried beef tanghoon

It was really a great catchup where i shared with them my medical condition and they shared other old school girls medical conditions etc. All the names mentioned - i seriously couldnt remember the faces except for some names.

All 3 of them are happily married with 2 to 3 children. But their children are already in their early teens so they are less busy with the kids and have free time to meet up.

And yes we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and have decided to do this regularly.

The next meet up will be in June at Star Vista Wrap and Roll - i am so looking forward to catching up with them.
