Adopt A Miracle

Watch the first ever SPCA Public Service Announcement directed by Yasmin Ahmad & sponsored by RSPCA International. It's a tear jerker (at least for me as I'm a big cry baby), so be warned.

Be kind to dogs & cats people. If you have the heart & space in your home, why not adopt a little fuzzball as an addition to your family? They never talk back & will always love you no matter how crappy your mood... Now why can't everyone be like that??

Circa 1988

Patricia from PattyBelle reminded me of this picture last week so I thought I'd share with you a little blast from the past. This is a shot of my class 1 Dahlia at Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Taman Melawati, 1988. Can you spot little ol' me yang muka masam? Dunno why I was so glum... Anyways, this picture never fails to crack me up!

Thanks Baiti & Zairi!

DIY Fun!

Claudia Low of KLue just posted a great little write up all about DIY Fun! To quote Claudia: "DIY projects not only enable you to get things done while saving cash, it also empowers you. If a project turns out well, you can even start your own business and make profits from it! Just remember to think unique!" Hear, hear!! I couldn't agree more!

Claudia cited some great websites that specialize in all things DIY like Instructables (my fave go-to site for crafts), DoItYourself (a new discovery for me, thanks KLue!), Etsy (a site I spend waaaaay too much money at buying all sorts of greats handicrafts from around the world!) & Fire Mountain Gems (a great place to buy jewelry findings & beads!). Another personal fave of mine which I'd like to add is Threadbanger. Go check all these great sites for tonnes of DIY ideas & materials!

Oh, and thanks again to Claudia & KLue for making my day by mentioning Mimpi! I ♥ KLue a whole lot!

ARTrage Lab Postponed

Yup, you read right. Bijou Bazaar's ARTrage Lab this weekend has been postponed folks! Will keep you all updated on the next installment.

Anyhoo, hope you good folks can make it to Chic Charity this Sunday though. Mimpi has pledged 20% of proceeds to Women's Aid Organization & will be selling some new handmade goodness. Have a great weekend ahead!

These Speak To Me

Let's.

Yes. And I've never forgotten.

Her Morning Elegance

This darling little music video of Oren Lavie's Her Morning Elegance is all over blogland but I'd like to share it with you anyway (just in case you missed it). It's so dreamy & I love the song!



Isn't it simply darling? My fave scene has got to be the underwater scene when she plays with a sock fish & then another one is when they dance together. Lovely. Simply lovely.

Mimpi ♥ Chic Charity

Skylar's Lace

It took my breath away when I saw this on Design*Sponge last week but as I was really busy at that time, I filed it away under my 'to blog about' bookmark folder. Then today, with a fresh mug of hot honey lemon, I clicked on over to My Marrakesh & was mesmerized.


The floor was apparently designed & stenciled by Royal Design Studio with a pattern named after Peacock Pavillion's proprietors daugther & you can buy the stencil here. Now, if only I had a spare USD200 laying around...



I guess I'll just have to placate my design desires by drooling over pictures for now. There are more beautiful details (you so have to see their wall!) over at My Marrakech so do go check it out.

Going All Wonky

Blogger is going all wonky on me again. The previous post was supposed to be out on Monday but didn't get posted until late TODAY & to add insult to injury, I couldn't post anything the whole day! Someone, hHhhEEeeEEElLllPPpp!

Marry Me

This film is seriously cute :)

Happy Tuesday folks!
