Cuteable Again

Wrinkles was featured on Cuteable.

Sure made my face wrinkle up with a smile, well, ok, a silly grin. Thanks.

Laugh Out Loud


Comedian John Cleese brings you to the originator of the Laughing Club. A cheerful heart is good medicine indeed.

But be careful with laughing your head off though.



Haha! Hoho! Have a good day!

Reuse

Go Green
Here are some ideas for going green.

I imagine that most of us have a good collection of books, DVDs and CDs which are unlikely to get to see the light of day very much. One of the things that could be done is to swap them for something else.

There are a few sites that promote this whether they are for DVDs, CDs or paperback books. In fact, Paperback Swaps has a DVD and CD version too, and they are free-of-charge. All these sites are all based in America though.

Another way to put our books to good use is to free it for a bookcross. If you didn't already know, we have a local version here in Singapore.

Irrasshaimase

KBCC #02

Welcome to KBCC#02!

Betsy had wonderful response to her second KBCC gathering held at Pauseability. Having just returned from a recent trip to Japan, it was rather appropriate that this session of the crafting club had a sort of Japanese theme.

We were introduced to some wonderful crafters, cool events and kawaii shops in Japan. Then we tried our hands folding an origami card before we had Kelvin, a young artist, who taught everyone to make an origami rose.

It was such a pleasant 26 Apr afternoon. The next KBCC will be at the Botanic Garden.

Oh Coral!

Mermaid Bride
Our earth is covered largely in water and the ocean is indeed a fascinating place. Recent news has been that we have been over exploiting it too.

While I do not dive, I have heard about the beautiful corals in this region. It is sad that as much as 60% of it has been destroyed thus far. Last year, an effort was launched to start a coral nursery to help slow down this decline, and they are gaining some success.

Just some thoughts about being more conscious in how we use the wonderful natural resources we have and do what we can to reduce wasteage, be as sustainable as possible and repair damage where we can.

Happy Earth Day!
