Singapore Shopping

Okay, so shopping on Orchard Road in Singapore had to be one of my favourite activities in Sinapore   I come from Perth “city” where the shopping experiences are okay, full of franchises, and very repetitive – you will generally see the same stores all throughout the metro area. Orchard Road in Singapore was full of variety, and the malls were big, dry, and airconditioned. Now I can manage the heat in Singapore (I experience much hotter in summer in Perth), but I cannot cope with the humidity – dizziness and headaches even while gulping down water. Thank goodness for the aircon. The shops also kept us dry from all the torrential thunderstorms that happened almost every day of our stay (I enjoy thunderstorms so that was quite fun!).

Books, clothes, accessories, fun stuff, computer and console games (kept the partner happy )…Ahhh it was great fun

Long Time Lost

Hello All,

It has been quite a loooonnnng time since I have been on here! But in my defense, I have been working, doing my clinical psychology internship, and trying to finish off my masters thesis All I have left to do now is my thesis (there is a light at the end of my university tunnel), so while I can’t get distracted by making posts, I thought I had better leave a note for you all about my absence.

I have not been closely monitoring my site since the start of the year, but I do get approved comments emailed to me so I would like to say a huge thank you for all who have commented (except for the spammers of course). I have been amazed at the number of you who have followed my patterns and created your own amigurumi. They look fantastic! I have worked my way through the comments and posted replies to each of them.

I have done a bit of housecleaning and removed some of my posts I was “meh” on and didn’t feel they contributed much to my website. I am trying to keep the posts more refined to the more useful crochet, photography, and travel posts. Hopefully I will be able to get back to posting some point before the end of the year…I still have a long list of amigurumi patterns I want to create!

Look after yourselves and have fun

Two Lovely Visitors

Well I reached my 1000th visitor last Thursday and I have had over 250 visits since then so I feel this post is slightly behind! I have been busy and away on holiday, but I am determined to catch up. I promised in my previous post that I would write about two lovely visitors to my site, so here they are:

Etheriel Musings

Grace of Etheriel Musings is a really lovely woman and was one of the first to comment on my site. Her website is full of all her gorgeous writing. She mostly writes film reviews, but she also writes observations of life around her. Grace is truly talented not just with how she writes, but the way she has actually thought about a movie or situation in life. You don’t have to take my word for it either – Roger Ebert (the famous film critic!) has noticed Grace and has gushed about her writing too . Another fun thing is that Grace is going to be visiting Perth soon, so we hope to catch up Go on, go visit her site!

Megnificent Made

Megan has dropped by my site on more than one occasion to brighten it with her lovely comments. Her website is fairly new as well, but I am looking forward to the crafty posts she has coming up (I got a sneak peek by looking at her flickr photos)! She writes about her adventures in Australia, cool crafty finds, items she designs, aaannnnddd she has some cute felt craft tutorials (I have to get some pink felt to make her strawberries!). She also has a couple of guinea pigs with her partner which is extra cute. If you want some craft ideas, go check her out.

Now I am sure there are many, many other wonderful visitors to this site, but I don’t know who you are unless you leave a comment and say hello . I enjoy visiting the websites of people who visit (unless you are just a spammer of course ), so don’t be shy.
