My Crocheting Journey...

A cardigan-turned-shawl-halfway. ^^|||

A rose... adds cuteness to the shawl.

A pair of angel wings... 

I had failed in my attempt to crochet a cardigan for my baby, again. I just can't seem to get the number of stitches correct. In the end, I thought, well heck, let's turn it to a shawl then. Anyway the function is to keep the cold out hahaha.

"I will try until I succeed!"

秋天别来 - 侯湘婷

I first heard this song a few years ago. I was working OT that day, and napping at the canteen during break time. Suddenly, a loud but soothing music erupted from the jukebox. I woke up and realised that I was alone in the canteen. Everybody else went back to work. But I stayed on and finished listening to the song.

I fell in love with the song immediately.

But I wasn't well-versed in the mandarin music scene. I had no idea what song was that and who sang it. I tried asking friends, with me attempting to hum the chorus but to no avail. Finally, today, I saw someone singing this song on a Taiwanese show!

It is a beautiful song. I especially love the piano accompaniment at the beginning.

"Best listened alone. Just you and the song."

My Birthday

It's my birthday~! Happy Birthday to myself.

"Not alone."

Cardigan Gone Wrong

Haha. It wasn't supposed to be a "mini" cardigan but a baby one. Guess I got the wrong yarn. But I thought I'd give it a try and fortunately, this warm-up exercise allowed me to see my mistakes so I won't make them in my actual project. It is so cute, about the size of my palm. I didn't bother adding the long sleeves though, since it was already non-conforming to the specs.


"Try again."

First Crochet Hat

My 1st crochet hat!

Added a little flower.

Wow. I amazed myself sometimes, haha. Anyway it was no big deal. I checked out a crochet tutorial on Youtube and it was quite easy to do. 

Now, I only hope it will fit Rei's head.

"More to come."

Boycott Sheng Siong

I am boycotting Sheng Siong Supermarket island-wide because one of the outlets in the East was spotted selling baby nurse sharks at S$13++ per kilo.

The supermarket spokesman even said that the decision to sell sharks was backed by demand.

SO??

While it is not illegal to sell live wildlife animals in SG, but hey, don't they read news reports or papers about what's happening to the sharks' population? I can't believe that they can be so ignorant and mindless when they said," Driven by demand." 

So next time when there is demand for baby fetuses they should sell them? Crazy, stupid, birdbrained.

We should all stand together to curb such irresponsible behaviors(selling endangered animals/products/wildlife) and ethics from sellers and distributors alike.


"So what if they sell larger eggs than NTUC???"
