Everyone is going through a hard time right now. The pressure is so unbelievable . When is all this going to an end? Living in a fast pace environment, where everyone is trying their very best to make ends meet or to even survive. Will i be able to pull through? I am so thankful to God i have a family that loves me. A wonderful and loving husband, a daughter who jumps up and down joyously whenever she sees her mummy, my mum who loves me dearly, my brother who look up to me, my father and a stepmommy are the kindess people and my in laws. They are the best anyone could ever had . Love is what we need to help us go through rough times.

This is how i spend time with my hubby. Going around looking for interesting things and places. The Malays buy beautiful fabrics here for their 'Baju Kurong' (Malay Tradisional Costume). This street is especially busy on the month of Ramadhan (Fasting month). Full of vendors selling food for 'Breakfast' . An Indian man selling colourful baskets. These baskets are used for hampers and for weddings. These Shophouses are preserved. It is part of Singapore's Heritage. The 'Sultan Mosque' one of the oldest.... Along the sides, are favourite tourist spots. Nice place to be...with for a cup of coffee and a book on your hand. The quiet atmosphere. It's so soothing here. An Old 'Mahjong' set sold in a shop selling Cheong Sam.

A Japanese Vintage Clothing store along Haji Lane, Singapore .

These are some of my bead necklaces made throughout the years. I started this interest and self expression in 2005. The same year blogging became a way of expressing oneself. I was busy searching for stones and looking for cool beads for my next creation. I was also working in 'Charlotte Atelier'. That makes it even easier. I learned my precious stones, gems, diamonds and precious metals @ work. It's my job. My 1st precious stones and assorted beads was from by my dearest mum-in-law. She is indeed a successful Jewelry Designer herself. That's how i got hooked. Some beads were bought here in Singapore. Places like Holland Village, Arab Street, Chinatown and Orchard Road. Others were bought in Jakarta, Indonesia and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Do you know that there are no such name as semi-precious stones in the Gem & Jewelery world? All real stones are precious.
