another (teeny weany) store update

finally i am off to melbourne tomorrow. woohhooo ... i cun wait to roll around st kilda beach. eat all de wonderful treats at acland. shop along chapel and swanston street. ahhhhhh ...

during de easter weekend, i did a teeny weany update of de store. you can continue to shop but i will only be able to ship it on 5 apr (de store is closed from 27 mar to 4 apr).

that's all i want to say!! i cun wait to get to de airport!!

back from bangkok

yes i am back. its a hectic four days three nights. our schedule was v v tight. hahahhaa. so tight we decided to cancel our massage.

what scare me and my fren kat de most was de hotel. de hotel was abit too cheap. so cheap its frightening. its at least 1000 baht cheaper than most hotels in bkk. imagine our relieved faces when we saw our hotel was decent. nice beds. even got free mineral water!! next time, you wanna go bkk, book ibis siam. only 850 baht!!!!!!

we ate lotsa steamboat. do check out the sushi and steamboat buffet at centralworld. cheap and good. and their ice green tea is v yummy. hhahahaa. we have a bit of everything. lotsa shopping in de mall means we were not sticky and yucky. hahahah.

our highlight was definitely when we scored free jap melon (which costs S$30 per slice) at tsu-nami at jw marriot. we were waiting for one of the dishes we ordered. we got quite full and decided to cancel it. think de kitchen forgot and they tot we were pissed and offered us fruit platter. i seriously tot they will give us papaya/watermelon. they presented us w 600 baht melon!!! kat who is not a fan of fruits, ate everything up. sweeet.

of course how can any trip to bkk without dropping by chatuchak! as usual its hot and a sauna there. we stopped twice for drinks.

all in all de trip was good. it was pure shopping and eating. fat fat now!!

oink will be closed!!

yup yup. oink will be closed from 4-7 oct. i will be away to bangkok (again)!! this is my first personal, used-own-leave trip.

i have uploaded three new items - havent got a chance to blog it. will do so once i am back and with more updates too.

in de meantime dun miss me too much ...

takin a break

for two weeks only!!

most of you know that i have a friggin demanding day job and its not gettin better when new projects kept coming in. its been awhile since i sat on de mat too. i work well at night. i produced most of my stuff in wee hours thus causing me to miss my morning yoga classes. sigh. i miss being a yogini.

i decided to take two weeks off making earrings. and concentrate on some things that i have been neglectin - yoga, bakin and catchin up with friends. ohhh shopping too. and of course ... get some of the admin stuff of de store sorted out. yup i have created tons of excel spreadsheets - keepin track of my inventory and expenses.

during my mini-sabatical, i would still continue to upload new stuff that pm jus took for me. and of course, b2 stuff too. she jus left her "torturous" job. so she would have the time to concentrate on makin earrings for oink.

so please continue to check out de blog and store ... more will come ...
