Bone is one of my favourite comic series! I turned it out because we were clearing some old books to give away to the library etc. This is my weekend read then!

Those of us who enjoy reading often also enjoy going to the places we read about! This album is dedicated to that pursuit! I hope it serves to inspire you to want to know about these places, either through the books in our cafe, or thru the photos posted. If you would like to know how I got around in these places, just drop me a message, I'll be most happy to share my itineraries with you! Happy Learning :)

Some glasses, good lighting, and we have an art piece worthy of a museum!

Passed by an older part of Singapore: Pearl Centre (foreground). Contrast that with the rather more modern building behind. This area has been changing over the last 15 - 20 years, I feel I better take more pictures before more things change or disappear!

With gradual opening up, it's time to break out the camera and go take pictures!

Keep healthy, stay sane n read a book everyone!

Morning!! I know all of us in Singapore and our friends in Malaysia got some rather shocking news last night and everyone is a bit.. well, stunned like vegetable.
So here's what I'm going to do. I wanted to release these set of 25 brand new Whatsapp stickers for a small donation fee of $5, 100% of which will be donated to Mdm Wong's Shelter and Friends. Instead, I'll release them for free. If you would like to make a donation of any amount, please send it to my Whatsapp number via paynow along with a screenshot (so i can keep record), and if you don't, it's ok too. Just drop me a text and let me know that you would like the stickers! Dm me if you need my number (and i can take donations via paypal too). Have a blessed day, everyone. Keep your heads up and your eyes above :)

(i'll be at work/meeting today, so replies might take a little while!)

Just completed one of the most compact bathrooms we've designed in an apartment! Much of the effort was spent dealing with the existing pipe stacks which by regulation could not be rerouted! All 4 stacks and vent pipes are actually concealed within the setup, with no cutting etc so i tjink we rose to the challenge there!! . The fuchsia pink accent also stands out well against the monochrome interiors!

We've been working on a design for this 3 storey house to give it an updated look with about a 30%+ increase in usable areas. The front facade is kept simple, yet modern, so that it doesn't distract too much from the existing neighbourhood. The west-facing rear looks into an open field, so there's more scope for architectural expression! The need for sunshading at this facade is the driving force behind the design, as we try to sculpt the form using the sunshades.

Art is an expression of life, of being! Just like the books that we read, it allows for the imagination to take flight and take shape!

I love steel staircases! They have a really honest aesthetic about them! :)

This is a staircase in an old school complex that now plays host to the art community in Singapore. There are myriad studios located here, and the Arts Council office is also located here!
