mandy aka demightyshiva, my dear customer turned stalker turned friend (ha!) has turned from her baking martha self into a crafty extraodinare!

yes, she tries so hard to use her hands and fingers, all those muscles trained from kneading so much dough, now, those same stubby fingers are working hard, in much smaller constraints, to bring you earring fanatics out there thoughtful creations! (and i'm sure more coming up for other accessories fanatics out thereeeee heh) i say thoughtful because i like the way she names every single piece she comes up with. it's sooo... originally mandy. her designs might be restricted by her current supplies, but i'm sure there will be lots more variety as she gets her hands on more supplies in future!

street screaming is not something i will do. so here's the shout out in my blog, babe! i never thought i'd switch from saying 'happy baking' to you.... but hey! happy crafting!! (^__^)

smiling with gleee!

one of lof's loyal-est (no such word? watever. ha!) and nicest singapore customer to date! littlebearyli is in love with our new stumpie collection! yayy!! thanks so much for your support and love all these while, li li! from the bottomest of my heart (^__^) i like how she always emails me her order of items which are not even listed in the shoppe yet. hee

oink oink snort snort
i know this is 3 days late... but hey! lunar new year is 15 days! heh
don't stuff yourselves with too much chinese new year goodies!
i know i'm not gonna try to :p

i'm better?

hell yeah. for reals. me thinks. hee!

i just have to take the milky stuff once a day now.... i've consumed a total of 6 big bottles!!! crazy !???! and i've consumed about 10 cartons of soy bean milk thus far.... my insides are all milky right now... eeewwwww... haha, and thanks for the suggestion to make it into banana smoothie, tscd! sorry to disappoint you... i tried it but i thought it was terrible... maybe your patient added sugar? i don't know, i didn't... and then i think it's because i had to drink it slower, instead of just one big gigantuos gulp of getting done with it.. ha...

weellll... busy b and busy me had a non-busy "mental wellness retreat" extended weekend (as he calls it haha) at siloso beach resort and cafe del mar.... wonderful wonderful gorgeousness wonderful....
we obviously love the pool, the jacuzzi, slide and waterfall. part of the resort was still under construction, but it was a nice quaint place, the architecture blending with the trees they're trying to conserve, the wooden steps etc... nice.. and we obviously love love love the fact that cafe del mar was just a 3 seconds run away from the doorsteps of the resort. yep, we timed it. ha

the music starts early in the day and ends late into the night, morning at cafe del mar... afternoon at the resort, night at cafe del mar... ahhhh.... we drove there but decided to try the spanking new monorail, and it was good, like the train ride to hongkong disney. it took us just 10 mins to reach vivo city to grab lots of snacks and soy bean milk for me (since i've to constantly nibble throughout the day.... what a chore... ). we have to do this next week you're back in singapore, mao!!! you'll love it. me thinks.

everyone overseas (which is mostly everyone i like... sigh..) is coming back for chinese new year this weekend!! so no sigh, for now. hee!!!! the only reason i like chinese new year. ha.

and before i forget, here's to share with you our welcome pack from wwf as a donor... please remember to do your part to save this ailing earth! recycle! re-use! conserve! donate! be a responsible citizen of this world....

hi...

sorry to have you worried, i can see that b doesn't really know how to translate a warm, less-serious toned message with typed out words...

i've been having stomach pains on and off for the previous 2 weeks... probably due to the travelling and increased work load, and it's also just plain old news for lynda lye, who has been suffering from gastritis her entire teenage and adult life thus far, and has stubbornly or just cannot be bothered enough to take her meals on time, regularly, who eats waayyy too much when she likes to, and eats waayy too little when she doesn't have the time to, drinks too much coffee and alcohol, loves her green chilli too much........ blah...

the doctor was soooooo close to saying "fuck. you deserved it girl." hell yeah... i was asking for it. there. he said it was a clear-cut case of stress-induced, long-term abuse gastritis thus stomach ulcer.... and gave me a super menacing glare. now, that's what i call a true doctor. one who screws his patients for ending up seeing him, even when i was in tears and curled up like a ball. i like you dr. chong.

i'm still in pain right now, although it's like 1/100th of the termendous pain i experienced last week, when i vomitted countless times, shitted sticky dark stuff...really gory.... i have pretty high pain tolerance, and yet almost died of pain... so much for that... i had a relapse yesterday when i felt better in the morning, proudly proclaimed i was back in business to everyone, ta-da! all gung-ho and went out to the post office, to meet a client, to get some supplies, replied a trillion emails, took some product photos, starting sewing a woody-san.... and even though i had my proper meals and meds.... ugh... pain in the evening... till now.....

no work for me for the rest of the week. ban imposed by my dear family and friends. but does a ban work for me? history shows.... it doesn't, after a short period of time, at least.... i'm suppose to be banned from even being online... apparently, this dear doctor of mine says that the internet causes me stress. ??????? so. i guess i'm violating the ban right now by posting this entry. you'll see how i love violating bans... i've more to post later...

yeah, lynda lye doesn't care much does she... she's so asking for it...

okay, enough of nonsense... time for my yucky meds and millky shitty stuff i have to drink... and maybe some trashy day-time and lamey late-night american tv, which i obviously sorely miss, will help lift my moods. my dear friend nat recorded them for me and labelled it as a stress-reliever. thanks. much. yo.

p.s. thanks for all your super sweet emails, wishes, and concerns...i was pleasantly surprised to receive so many of them, so sorry if i haven't replied.... but please do know i've read them all and i'm really grateful in my heart.... i did receive a deady bunch of flowers on sunday, courtesy of mao who apprently didn't have the common sense to know that i was too much in pain to put them in a vase of water... so they died. pretty much. in a day. thanks babe, pls know i love you, and have fun in istanbul

thanky thanky thanky

to you all for your kind, sweet, nice reviews of lof!!!
dear doctor of mine, how can the internet possibly cause me stress? unless possibly i can't get myself too elated because that will start up my gastric juices too....
