THE CONTESSA AND MARCHESA - TONS OF PICTURES !

I love my work .. it's rewarding especially when you are able to take it from paper and pen to the finished piece .. and finally to the client's hands :) THE CONTESSA and MARCHESA is a collaboration between M and myself. I am thankful to be able to visualise the needs of M as she was able to communicate them to me. In the same way, I am also thankful that she is open to my ideas and advice on the final details of the pieces. Together, from this ..

MY BIKING BUDDIES ..

.. even if it is for a short time :(



I had a fine time with my friend, Stefan, on our cycling trip from ECP F2 Carpark to Changi Village PCN (Park Connector Network). That's my DAHON behind Stefan. It was 34km two-way trip. Stefan is a visiting student from Germany. He has since returned to Stuttgart and I have to say i kind of miss him. I enjoyed his company very much and I hope our path will cross again :)




.. and here is HJ. HJ is from Korea. Well who says you dont look good with a helmet? We did the same route It started out with a nice balmy morning but by the time we could reach Changi Village, it rained cats and dogs! .. two ladies braving the rain. We were soaked to the skin! After brunch at Changi Village, we thought it had rained out .. boy were we wrong ! I thought it was fun riding in the heavy rain but not HJ... she thinks I am crazy ! Should have snapped some photos but we were too busy with getting home to change out !


.. and this is me !


HJ promised that she would do this ride with me again and i am looking forward :)

Thanks Guys!

SUSHI CAKE Anyone ?

September is my birthday month and possessing the SHOKUDO Streets of Japan (a Japanese Family Restaurant) membership card, i was presented with a SUSHI CAKE ! . . and they even wanted to add a candle but i didnt think it was necessary as it was already way past my birthdate . . LOL ! I thought it was such a sweet gesture.

Thank you SHOKUDO!
