I think I’ve hit on the ultimate commercial ploy for valentine’s day. Too bad I’m a little too late for this year. But there’s always next year! Dutch Peter van de Werken has invented rainbow roses. These roses are stemmed with natural pigments, so each petal grows into a different colour. Rainbow roses? My heart [...]

It’s true what they say, art is staple food

When we think of art class, we’re so used to paint, graphite, crayon… yea, that’s probably it. But staples?? This is a project by Baptiste Debombourg where he staples 35,000 times to form Greek mythology figures on the wall. “The protagonist Icarus, the Mannerism of the Renaissance and the symbol of sublime power Air Force [...]

I wouldn’t have known about the step-ups on the Speak Good English Movement campaign if Jenny from DigitalBoomerang hadn’t emailed me for some help. Its getting pretty cool. Jenny and her team have developed SixLives.sg, an online drama, made fancy with digital media. I had a lot of fun with the fun facts on their [...]

Chicago, the musical, is hitting shores next year! I think this is the most exciting show to touch our sunny island since Phantom of the Opera [but yes, I shall reserve all comment until after I catch this]. Yay to musical extravaganzas hehe For more information, see esplanade.com
The Photodiarist

Just discovered a really cool site with amazing photos taken in and around NYC. Proof I’ve been procrastinating too much and looking too hard for escape routes out of an otherwise dull study break. For more of this cool stuff, head to the photodiarist.

It seems that books, like toys, can come alive at night. And all this while I’ve always thought I’ve been dreaming. “109 Lightning Books” by Airan Kang at the Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery.
Really Cute Wedding Invite (Brief)

This is so cute and funny. I don’t know about you, but I think it beats those cheesy photo slideshows they do at weddings. Sweet precursor to a wedding I’d like to attend! I feel like I know what kind of people and the kind of (fun!) wedding they’d have.
Sydney International Food Festival

Food has always been a big draw in advertisements. At least to greedy foodies like me. So what better way to get your message across when you’re holding an international food festival, than with some wicked food styling. This year, the Sydney International Food Festival has taken food styling to new heights. Each poster displays [...]
An (Anti)ode to One True Love + Reading Gold

The other day on the promise of not-just-another-typical-sappy-romantic-comedy, I caught (500) days of summer. If you are a hopeless romantic, this movie will leave you in dissatisfaction. If you’re not, you’ll say yay for realities and our vulnerabilities to love. I think what I liked best about the movie was how they managed to show [...]
Skull Fest

This looks a bit horrific. But I like the message hidden within. So many deaths are caused by our own conflicts. I guess when it becomes a daily occurrence in some parts of the world, reading the newspapers just doesn’t make you think about it anymore… until you come across expression like Noah Scalin. I [...]
