hello there,
This is Chearmin, she's an 19yo girl happily breathing Singapore's air.
She is now studying Diploma in Visual Communication (which is NOT Mass Comm), a course all about graphic design, illustrations & photography.
A crazy cat lady who adores cats (duh.), her eyes glimmer upon spotting beautiful things e.g. cameras & vintage items. & she definitely loves Jesus. †
she absolutely love getting crafty & all, because it makes her happy. she wants to get lost in a surreal world and be eaten by her eccentric thoughts.
would you care to join her for a cup of tea in the middle of the forest?

Mooncake.
I'm sorry the post title is really random, but I'm currently going cray over this new indie post-rock band called Mooncake.
They deliver really good and inspiring instrumental music. They sound different from MONO, of which the latter delivers harsher and more raw music (MONO is still damn awesome. I swear). Mooncake's music sorta gives me hope and makes me wander off into a field of lavenders and dreams. I would recommend Nine Billion Names, Rain in the Ashtray off their "Lagrange Points" album. I have yet to hear their other albums; currently searching for more of their songs on Youtube. (yes I'm a crazy Youtuber now, thanks to all these post-rock and beautiful music/budding song cover artists/short story videos/game walkthroughs & commentaries that keep me going.
Anyway, back to what I was supposed to blog about!
I felt really queasy in my tummy, must be due to the spoilt dinner I've consumed really late. :( I've learnt not to eat that late anymore. The pain was excruciating, I felt like it was x1000000000 the pain of menstrual cramps. Almost like a spirit was playing tricks on me; twisting my stomach like no one gives a damn.
So, I called in to report that I'm sick and skipped work. Sucks to see your > $60 flying away just 'cos of one damn stomach pain, but... it was a good rest. I managed to sleep in for another 3 hours before I wake up feeling sore in the back.
Decided to do up a DIY today!
I had this display photo frame laying around my room for quite a long while; the wrapping was really dusty! So why let it go to waste? Might as well just make it look more interesting and be a kind gift to someone special (must be a girl in this case 'cos of the pastel palette). :)
Quite glad with the change I've made! Like the overall feel to the frame, no longer a boring black! ;)
Materials used:
- Wooden display photo frame / Daiso
- Bobbin Lace / Daiso
- Scrapbooking papers / UrbanWrite
- Heart wooden pegs
- Cut outs of plane & hot air balloon (partially hidden by the "Always remember" paper) / little thing magazine
- "Always Remember" stamp / Paper Market
- Hemp string / MUJI
- Washi Masking Tape / Artfriend
Time taken: 1 - 2 hours
I took my time sourcing for the right images for the background, after all, it was a free and easy project with no deadline!
