That is all for now.

I hope everyone has a very merry and safe Christmas this year!

May 2009 bring you health and happiness!

The rest of the family’s on their way back to Melbourne on Christmas Eve, and I will be joining them a week later. Am not happy about it at all since we were originally suppposed to be here till mid January.

Let’s just say I hate technicalities – they screw up stuff too often.

Minor positive note is that I still get to be here for The Doll Affair, which was something I was looking forward to on this trip. I’m finding myself treating the doll hobby as a more personal/individual form of enjoyment of late – TDA should be a nice change – it’ll be something I can enjoy with other doll enthusiasts, but yet, not feel obliged to be totally social (since I reckon it’ll be pretty packed at the venue on the day). Plus, it’ll probably be the closest I can get to an event like the Volks Dolpa for a while.

I feel like I’ve come full circle, in a way.

This doll had one of the first commissioned faceups I did, and I like to think that I have improved since my first attempt.

Oops, haven’t updated in a few days as promised! I am going to blame the weather as it has been so so humid constantly, and even with the few showers we’ve had, it hasn’t helped. If anything, the rain just made it feel more humid after it’s stopped. But all in all, it’s nice to be in Singapore again, and getting reacquainted with everything. I’ve even missed our house (living room pictured above).

Anyway! Been out catching up with a few friends, so it’s been good fun. I didn’t realise how much I’ve missed the food here (truly!) until I walked into your average foodcourt in a mall and find myself wanting to sample everything at once.

I’m off to help out at the toystore I used to work at tomorrow and Sunday, so that’ll mean a chance to catch up with my ex-boss (whom I adore and consider a friend), and also a few ex-colleagues I used to work with. I’ll have my camera with me, so hopefully I can take some photos too.
