I know this is a little overdue but I still want to share with others the pantone colour of the year for twenty eleven:

Isn't it a beautiful colour for a wedding?

I have abandoned my blog for almost 9 months. So, this year I promised myself to start blogging again (to post at least once a week) and I chose to post every wednesday just like what my blog name says.

Anyway, it is still not too late to wish you all a happy new year. I hope you had a fun new year celebration!

Had a fun outing with my sister and her friends last Saturday.

I feel 10 years younger hanging out with them.

Did nothing much. Hop from one mall to another just to find the right place for a photoshoot. Since it was a very hot day, we spent

more time indoor instead.
Love my new zara harem pants and sequin shoulder striped top from Forever21. Both super comfortable!

The Invisible Man

2009-10-20T10:38:00.012+08:00

35-year-old Liu Bolin, from Shandong, China,

manages to camouflage himself in any surroundings,

no matter how difficult they might be.

Liu works on a single photo for up to 10 hours at a time,

to make sure he gets it just right,

but he achieves the right effect:

sometimes passers-by don’t even realize he is there until he moves.

The talented Liu Bolin says his art is a protest
against the actions of the Government,

who shut down his art studio in 2005 and persecutes artists.

It’s about not fitting into modern society.

Despite problems with Chinese authorities,

Liu’s works are appreciated at an international level.

but I didn't get the chance to snap a picture of it.

If you still remember my previous post on bedroom facelift,
here goes one of the DIY for my wall deco.

While spring cleaning the house for the past few weekends,
I found this old frame.
I repainted it in white, make my own houndstooth background
and sprayed the wooden letter F in turquoise.

Jewelry Organizer

2009-04-13T11:37:00.013+08:00

Weekend Project

I've been longing to ask my sister for this mirror frame
because I know she loves it very much
Since my nephew broke the mirror
(actually it can still be fixed)
I asked her if I can have the frame
and she said YES!

So, I turned the mirror frame into a jewelry organizer
I painted it with my favourite colour
and outlined the edges in black to get
a somewhat whimsical look,
add the backing with black velvet

... and Voila!

I love it!

Home is..
