Piece of the Week : "Colorful Mosaic Bedside"

Nothing expresses better than colour! 

...and this Bedside is definitely an eye-catcher!!... its design falls straight between bohemic, shabby and oriental ... and absolutely pretty piece to add to a simple room =) 

LOVE it!!

Dear Mystery Man,

Dear My Mystery Man, 

We've been close for quite a while now .. been through harshest of the hardest times .. laughed like there's no tomorrow .. gained so much and lost so much .. hurt and in the process of healing .. shared times as if we knew each other from centuries before .

Known each other for almost every day for years now .. yet, there's still so much to learn about you .. 

So much to comprehend and absorb .. 

So much to understand and immerse .. 

You've always been a Mystery to me ... You're still Mysterious from the first time we met up to the last time we talked ... but you will be a Mystery i solve in the end of the day .. 

You are officially my Mystery Man ..

Rough Sketches

My upcoming project requires me to design a Bedside and Dressing Table + Mirror, complementary to a Rattan White Washed Bed Frame ~ French Style... 

I am learning "How-to-Draw" .. i am much more of a painter rather than a drawer ... but for the sake of the Project's Success, i tried ... 

...and here's what I've came up with... 

What do you think?

Wish List No# 6 : Merc Benz 300 SL 1954

My Wish~List No# 6

This is where the "Boy Side" of me pops out!!

The Mercedes Benz 300 SL 1954 is one heck of a sexy car ...hope to own it one fine day...

Love the "Roadster" and yes, the "Gullwing" ... i don't mind it too ..

Sway My Way ...

Don't stray . Don't ever go away . 

I should be much to smart for this . 

You know it gets the better of me . 

Sometimes when you and I collide ... 

I fall into an ocean of you . Pull me out in time .

Don't let me drown ... Let me down .

I say its all because of you . 

Here I go . Losing my control .

I'm practising your name ... so I can say it to your face .

It doesn't seem right ... to look you in the eye .

And let all the things you mean to me ...

Come tumbling out my mouth indeed its time,

Tell you why . I say its infinately true .

"Say you'll stay . Don't come and go . Like you do .

Sway my way .

Yeah I need to know . All about you"

And there's no cure . And no way to be sure 

Why everythings turned inside out . Instilling so much doubt .

It makes me so tired ... I feel so uninspired .

My head is battling with my heart . My logic has been torn apart .

Now it all turns sour .. come sweeten every afternoon .

"Say you'll stay . Don't come and go . Like you do .

Sway my way .

Yeah I need to know . All about you"

Its all because of you .

Piece of the Week : "The Dome Arm Chair"

One of Bellagio Furnishing's Collection is the Dome Arm Chair ... personal favourite!

They have one with a combination of Wood, Fabric and Rattan ... but the above one (Wood, Fabric and Leather) is perfect enough for it to be on my Wish~List!

The Possibilities in the Perhaps

We are gifted with days after days each day ... tens becomes hundreds and hundreds becomes thousands of days ... and those daily thousands make up our lives as we proceed on living .

Usually we allow those days to pass without making the accurate decisions . 

There are two side in every story . 

Two thoughts in every state of condition . Positive and Negative . 

.......and from the small decisions that we make, we slowly design our lives......

"Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" 

...........but let's see the Possibilities in the Perhaps and process the Possibilities to Willingness . 

Here are 14 of my Possibilities in the Perhaps .

1. Perhaps - sleeping in and allow the day gone without a worry?

2. Perhaps - puff a cigar? 

3. Perhaps - giving a noticeable frown?

4. Perhaps - picking up an unworthy magazine?

5. Perhaps - stop controlling my bad eating habits? 

6. Perhaps - complaining?

7. Perhaps - getting drunk?

8. Perhaps - finally stop caring? 

9. Perhaps - painting my walls and ceiling jet-black?

10. Perhaps - start judging? 

11. Perhaps - cage my feelings?

12. Perhaps - imprison myself?

13. Perhaps - finding a stranger i could love ..

14. Perhaps - giving up?

1. Possibly - waking up earlier and immerse the morning!

2. Possibly - a calligraphic verse tattoo on the back of my neck!

3. Possibly - smiling to the world with glow!

4. Possibly - picking up the Good Book!

5. Possibly - start exercising!

6. Possibly - appreciating the moment!

7. Possibly - dancing in the rain!

8. Possibly - caring without limits!

9. Possibly - start painting flowers!

10. Possibly - believing in others despite of circumstances!

11. Possibly - allowing positivity to sovereign in mind!

12. Possibly - living life in "freedom"!

13. Possibly - patiently wait 'til "he" comes around! (.....again?)

14. Possibly - persisting and succeeding! 

Let's not forget that though we don't create our lives, we are able to design it . and ... it's never too late . 

Start making your 14 Possibilities in the Perhaps!!

Petite Cakes by Mery Ng 

The two above are my personal favourite ... and i LOVE Sweets and Cakes! 

These ones makes me wish that "cakes could stand the test of time" and that we didn't really have to taste them!! ....instead make them as "collections of displays"

I guess ART can be presented anywhere, even on delicious cakes like these!

I am in awe ...

Thank God its Friday!! =)

I am officially tired (physically) .. i've been busy with projects and other family activities all month .. 

and the past week was hectically busy .. 

Haven't been eating right and darn! - (its that time of the month where my emotions carries me away) 

but ... I've been stuffing myself with loads of Vit C and medicines and isotonic drinks .. 

This month will just get even more busier ... 

Can feel my body weakening and slowing down .

I refuse to get sick . 

... but i welcome the weekend with open arms ... 

LOVE the Weekends!!

Pantry Magic - Kemang

After a meeting with my client in Starbucks Kemang ..i decided to finally stop and browse through this lil' store located on the side off Kemang's main road .. 

................. and as i enter, i suddenly felt like i was in Paddington or maybe Darlinghurst (Sydney) .. those pretty and colourful imported saucepans and kitchen utensils were calling out my name . I wanted to respond and start baking some moist tasty Raspberry Vanilla *muffins* ................. but i pause and re-think .. 

"When will i find the time" .. and we are currently moving houses .. so NO OVEN!!! 

I left Pantry Magic empty handed but with a full fat regretful feeling of "why did i leave all my Vintage Pink Baking Utensils in Sydney???"

For those who LOVES Cooking .. go here! 

They even have Cooking classes!!

"What is happening?"

Ever had a moment where you're puzzled by your own feelings? 

A lil' perplexed over your thoughts ... and you slowly allow them to control your moves . 

You want to scream yet you stay in silence .. 

You want to move freely yet you stand still .. 

You want to laugh out loud yet your internal being is crying? 

Here i am submerged in this feeling ... i want to express myself yet i write with complete blankness .. 

What is happening? 

Is this a temporary pitfall of life? or is it simply me : being numbed? 

Am i just tired over what's been happening?

Am i just exhausted over life's draining challenges?

All i want to do is to breathe ................ in and out .. inhale - exhale .. and just LIVE . 

I want to cease it all BUT i know i can't give up yet .. there's still decades ahead of me . 

I know i am not a quitter .. i am made to persevere, to be strong and spirited . 

I will not let this get to me ... 

Yes, i might fall for 2 seconds, i might struggle to get back up but eventually i will "rise" and take "hold" of what's been given .

I will look back and sweetly smile knowing i have again passed the test of life ... smirking and whispering to my point of reflection : "What doesn't kill me, will only make me stronger" . 

... and i will stand again (stronger this time), ready to take on life's next challenge with my defensive weapon :-

POSITIVE THOUGHTS of NEVER GIVING UP . 

It is those who proceed .. who carries persistence .. who commits themselves steadfastly who succeeds and triumph in life . 

............ and i aspire to be a winner ............
