Pirates of the Chinatown Complexes

I went treasure a-hunting today.
Around Chinatown area.
Guess what? There are at least 4 beadshops in People’s Park Centre alone.
A real beader’s heaven...



Check out my treasure.
I have got cloisonnés, bone beads, glass pearls in different sizes (my favourite), matte round beads, ready-made bear-shaped pendants (tot that will make very good, "quick to make" gifts), and assorted findings for necklaces and bracelets.

I did my homework. I know where to get the best prices for the stuff I want.
Or where to get a particular finding that I need.
Today I feel like I am the happiest person in the whole world.
Wait till I see my bank account balance... :-P

"There are no guarantees"

"But if it means, there's even a possibility.
Then I'll give up whatever it takes
I know I've made some mistakes before
It may be just another closed door
But we could be together
For a while"

Bought a new CD a while back.
Remember 2.
I have got Remember 1, so this is a must-have.
It contains songs from my time...
Pop from the 80's and early 90's.
Man, it could be considered oldies, for the younger people...
But it is still music to my ears.

"If you say "Jump!" I'd say "How high?"
If you say "Run!" I'd run and fly
Just for the chance
Just for the moment
Should the moment pass us by
And if you ask once I'll tell you twice
I'll ignore the world's advice
If we could be together
For a while"

That's the song from Debbie Gibson.
The words somehow stuck.
I find it kinda inspiring...

Slow workweek for me.
But things are picking up from next week onwards.
Soon, I won't even have time to eat, sleep and pee...
Geez, I really hope not.
Not being able to pee is very uncomfortable. Hahaha~!
I'd be happy that I can still catch the World Cup Finals...
*Fingers crossed.

I am making a lot of pendants out of polymer clay, my new muse.
And a good one too,
The clay is so versatile, and comes in many shades of colours.
I had fun mixing colours, cutting shapes, making beads.
Do visit http://fionabeadbar.blogspot.com/ to see my work.

Hoping to go down to Chinatown tomorrow.
I want to taste the delicious food in Chinatown Complex one last time, before the food centre closes for renovation.
And maybe visit a couple of beadshops along the way. Mmm...

See ya~!

World Cup

World Cup: Only happen every 4 years.

Some of the world's best looking sportmen converge in one venue...
To chase a silly round black and white ball all around the grass pitch.
I like! Wahahahaha~!
Actually I watched the games for entertainment.
I do not support any particular team, but will pick out the matches which I think are interesting.
However, I will save my cheers for Asian teams like Japan and Korea, if they ever make it.

No stout for me, I am a beer / shandy / occasionally wine kind of gal.
But after 2 packets of peanuts for the opening match almost give me a sore throat.
Dang!!

I dun have SCV, so I will have to wait till the semis to catch all that live action again.
Till then.

Rock on!
