My New Studio~~~
For the past few days, I have been dolling up my desk. Will take a photo and put here to let u all see one day. I brought my white furry ducky, and two doggy with clips at the top. One was given by MichT for my bdae and one is from a game fren for Xmas. I brought my black Nescafe mug and a calendar.... oh I oso brought a The Dog softtoy and made it sat on the top of the LCD screen. Oh yes, even the table lamp that Huiping gave me last year for bdae. Ah~ oso haf the handphone sitter.... and some rough paper and postcards for writing. Finally, I hanged the dreamcatcher that my JC class gave me for bdae last year~~ heehee. The colour goes well with my studio colour~~ cool huh~ Aww, I feel damn good for this sem liao hahah~ See, I am really a environment-affected person. Feel so comfy to work in studio now, unlike last sem. Now this one got more private spaces etc. Wat it lacks is the drawers or a small cabinet. So everything haf to put on the table. Ok lar, that means I haf space underneath the desk to sleep! haha, but floor dirty sia. Oh yes, I brought my small yellow pillow liao. Next time will bring the green circular one I bought from Ikea last year. I still wan it to accompany on bed for now. haha~~ Nice to hug ok.
1. This is the overall photo of my desk:
2. Ahh~ my soft toy and soft toy clips...
3. My monitor and lamp etc... (did u notice that my hp and desktop wallpaper have same picture?)
haha my table nice hor~
---------------------------------------------------------
In the afternoon, we went to Sentosa to look at Shangri-La Resort. We took Sentosa bus in... (hey! now we need to pay $1 for the ride!!) Den we walked up this slope at the entrance and finally greeted by the white building and vast amout of vegetation around it and on the porch...
We got to the sea part. There is this long stretch of low cliff where we stood. It looks out to the sea.... It sparkled under the sun. Then u see the waves rushed in and the sound of the waves....
There are alot of big ships nearby. Time and time again there are speed boats going by. I managed to catch one of them.
Finally we looked at the massive resort building. It has windows/rooms repeated in modular fashion
So this building stretched from one end to the other in a curve. On the ground in front of the resort, there are swimming pools and a pool bar etc. Bustling with activities and people~ Feel like staying there for a while haha~
A japanese guy who is the landscape architect for this resort came to talk to us. Together we pointed out many bad points abt it... haha~ He speaks with an ang moh accent~~
After that we left the place. I went home... tired... while the rest had dinner in World Trade Centre. wat a day.... so many work to do!!!! We are slaves!!
ur handphone and desktop wallpaper all Yuna!! =P ahahahaha and all the same picture somemore!! ur desk looks quite neat (for now)~~ hahahaha~~
rasa sentosa faces the south side that beach (siloso beach??) and in the morning sunrise very nice!!! =)
hahaha yes, I am a yuna fan. Tifa from FF7 oso! Aww they all so chio~~
yes it is siloso beach. can see sunrise ar... ok.... but sun facing the windows... isn't it hot?
