I guess I'm quite a simple person.

Letters and postcards

Recently I've taken up the hobby of writing snail mail letters/postcards. Thanks to postcrossing. So this is my profile there. I said I speak Chinese, but really it's more like I wish I could. That is despite it being my mother tongue and all.

I really like this postcard from Finland. The scan doesn't do it any justice, really.

As much as I like to participate in the swap, I decided to take a break this December, cos I simply can't find any Christmas themed postcards, and I know they're all expecting some. Singapore is not big on postcards in the first place. It's hard enough looking for non-touristy types. Not like say, Perth, where there were so many, I was spoilt for choice. Maybe I'll need to check out those tourist attractions to find some nice ones. The postcards I bought previously were water colour paintings of places near the Singapore River from Holland V, at a dollar each.

I also wrote to a girl from the Netherlands last week. Then I realised yesterday, that people expect more than just a letter plain and simple, they want pretty stationary, stickers, letters that look more like a scrapbook than a sheet of paper. Oh dear.

I've also heard that not everyone replies the first letter. Oh dear.

On a happier note, I'll be getting my driving license soon! The actual card, which is now at the post office. Will need to pick it up sometime soon.

Day diez of Project Sew Coz

I like the progress made so far, it gets very exciting when more colours are added. It's coming together. But with a project so big, there are bound to be some mistakes. Like this one below. The section on the left should be a square higher, which means unstitching and redoing it again. 

Also I can't count higher than 10 in Spanish, (stuff learnt in my Spanish 101 lessons are fading fast). I'm not sure how I'll work on this when I start work on the 1st of December either. The deadline has been pushed back to Christmas.

I bought some black thread from Spotlight yesterday, so things are getting exciting, and am feeling more motivated although I've finished whatever TV series I was watching when stitching.

Watching Avatar and stitching used to make my day.

Today's been a really good day.

I can't explain the feeling.

I got my driving license. Really thank God for it, I don't know exactly what happened, it's all a blur right now.

And I also just finished the whole 3 seasons (or books as they call it) of Avatar: the Last Air Bender. It's probably the best cartoon series I've watched. I don't usually like anime, (although my old friends were crazy about all things anime and manga) but I decided to make an exception for this. The funny thing is I started after watching the movie version, which is probably the worst film adaptation of anything ever. It blows my mind how movie makers spend so much money on special effects, yet let neglect the basics of story-telling: plot, character development, etc.

Another thing, I like these shoes:
