5th Jan 2014 - Creativity
I had my fabric badge workshop at the library today and was throughly impressed by the various badge designs the participants came up with! It is the first time I am telling participants "no guidelines, no templates, design as you wish!" and it all paid off. just look at the creativity!

4th Jan 2014 - Laundry hung the local way
I have always been fascinated by the sight of laundry hung on bamboo poles from the side of apartment blocks (AKA HDB Flats) in Singapore. Today was an especially sunny day, everyone is catching up with the sun!

3rd Jan 2014 - Guppies
While knitting up guppies as a new Momshoo product (see here), I recalled the colourful guppies I used to keep as a child! yes, it was one of the fishes that didn't die so easily on me and I even remember the time we had to rescue a baby guppy from the tank's filter system.

2nd Jan 2014 - Dress-making
I am not sure if I can put Dress-making under something I 'like' for sure yet since today is the very first time I had a go at it. But I had so much fun sewing; from being all excited to see how the final outcome will look to having all these ideas of how a single pattern can be modified in many ways. I am thinking collars, sleeves, bindings, pockets, appliques, slits, oh! the possibilities seem quite endless! (and it all started with the buying of a fabric on a whim.)

365 "Likes" Project: 1st Jan 2014
I have been putting off a daily 365 project for too long so finally I told myself I will start one in the new year... so tah-dah! day 1. I will be doing a sketch/painting/art piece a day of one thing I like.
When I was younger in primary/secondary school, we used to get each other to write in autograph books, one section will be "Likes" or "favourites" or something to that effect. It is funny that while autograph books fell out of trend, as I went on to Junior College and then University, social media like Facebook started coming on and once again we are doing the same thing of "Liking" but this time in the digital world! So following that trend, I will make it a ritual to document one thing I "Like" every day in this year. (I haven't been doing much sketching so I wanted to work it into the project to start again)

1st Jan 2014 - Fish Soup
I had been worrying about doing my first sketch, i wanted it to be something 'woah!', an interesting item to draw... yet after I went through a whole day of shopping, the thing I chose to draw is the banal local dish of "Fish Soup". There are so many famous local fare but they are all very sinful, the one dish I could eat over and over again is this simple Fish Soup dish. somehow, when I don't know what to eat, I seem to gravitate towards this. Being easily available, and since I resolved to eat less meat 1 year back, fish soup is a familiar comfort-food.
