Ah, the breeze
Singapore is comparatively cool and dry after a roastingly hot June and July in Xiamen. Never thought I’d see the day when I’d think Singapore wasn’t super hot. Hehe.
Went to MAAD. ‘Twas a touch disappointed that the venue was smaller than expected — but hey, they’re just starting, right? Saw some cool things and great ideas. Also saw someone who designs then contracts the ‘handmade’ production to artisans in India. That’s cheating, in my opinion.
Saw Superman Returns and Thank You For Smoking. I love salted popcorn.
Bought that Dopod. Neil runs down the battery playing the default games. Bought a new laptop. It should be delivered later this week.
Collected my stash from various craft swaps. The haul is in-fucking-credible. I love craft swaps. I visited the bead shops in Chinatown today and bought many things. Made my first pair of earrings. Not exactly a professional job, but they’ll hold and I now have a pair of earrings that match the garnet pendant I got in India.
Completed a lot of editorial for the next issue of What’s On Xiamen. Yes. Really.
My first time online in a week. I could get used to this!

You escaped…DRAT!
hmm, breeze maybe, but cool?! where are you? it’s either blazing hot or monsoon rain lah!
send you email later about one of your post links-can seem to find that post?!
it is burning in UK. The Tube is like an oven in transit on mos days, and furnace on drag on some…
Judy, yes, comparatively. It’s warm here, especially when there’s no shade, but it’s not as sweltering as Xiamen!
Jerry, so I heard. You’re still in the UK?
yes I am still in UK but mysteriously without a perm job! Sill looking…U coming to Scotland or UK?
hi andrea - congrats on the escape from xiamen!
jerry - fyi - scotland is part of the uk. :o)
Heh, Scotland looks like it is part of the UK on a map but talking to the “locals” might make you think English is a second language for them if you are not used to the accents and local idioms. I remember last year I was watching a racing show that covered World Rally and Formula 1. I could understand Michael Schumacher’s English with his German accent better than Colin Mcrae’s Scottish accent. :D
LOL! Kristen, try telling that to the Scots, Welsh and Irish! Love your black labrador.
