I’ll love you eternally if you could vote for me at WP Best Design Award and help spread the word around (twittering, blogging about it, anything!). 
Your votes would be greatly appreciated. If I really manage to win this, I will be using the funds to start up the e-shop which I’ve been talking about on my twitter for the past few weeks. It would be an “all-in-one” shop with illustrations, cartoons, layouts, themes for sale and I plan to have customised tees, mugs and accessories using my own illustrations as well. 
We shall not be limited and restricted by our creativity, right? 
I wish to use my own funds instead of borrowing from my family (specifically my mum and sissy) this time so it would be really nice of you to drop me a vote and help fulfil my dream of opening my very own Amour Chaleur e-shop!
Okay back to my normal blog post now. 
Chewy and I went to check out the new shopping mall, Tampines 1 a few days back. It was extremely packed and we had a hard time finding the carpark. I felt giddy just walking around as tons of people flew past me. Yes, they literally flew pass me ignoring any obstacles that were in front of them. So I tend to “ouch, that hurts” quite often as people kept bumping into me. :cry:

I love the clear blue sky
We had dinner at Sushi Tei and it was all right. It was my first time eating there and apparently Chewy loves the food.

Oh and we managed to squeeze into that Japan apparel store, Uniquo or something like that. I like their basic tops but otherwise, it’s okay as well. We didn’t buy anything from there. But I think the men’s tee are good, very soft, comfortable and most importantly they are affordable. I saw a Lycra v-neck men’s tee for only SGD 15.90. 
It was so packed that we even need to queue to get in, thankfully it was only a 10 minutes wait. There’s also a huge book store selling sketchbooks and other stationery. The sketchbooking items (such as the ink stamps, and DIY sketch books which are pre-designed) are very pretty and unique. I think I’m in love with that shop. If you are in to sketchbooking and DIY cards etc, that is definitely the place for you! But the location is a bit off for people living in the West (like me). 
Remember the pretty lilac cup I was taking about? I was trying to take a macro close up shot of it. The first one failed miserably. The second shot wasn’t too bad but I couldn’t capture the actual colour due to the dark colour of the tea in it. But I swear the lilac is extremely pretty.
Failed macro shot!

We got this mirror the other time as well but didn’t manage to hung it up until last week. It’s super huge and I love it! All girls should have a huge mirror in my opinion. I got it for SGD 45, isn’t it a bargain?

I voted for you in the contest – good luck, I hope you win!
I like your pictures, especially the one with the blue skies and the huge clouds. And I just put SGD 45 into a converter, and yes that is cheap! I haven’t got a wall mirror in my room, but I have a full length one on the inside of my wardrobe door, which is useful

Girl, you know I want you to win. <3
ALSO- I really love your photos. especially the one with the blue sky. nice place.
How much was that mirror in USD’s? My mother wouldn’t allow me to buy a mirror. I’m stuck to my old one, the one that was passed onto me by my grandmother (when i moved out of her house)

I love you.
Gives Tiara a squashy hug. :P
Considering the exchange rate is about 1.50 now. It would be around USD 30. My old one is so small that I think if my face gets more chubby it couldn’t fit in anymore. :cry:
