Hi again guys! Just wanted to drop in and share with you some exciting news!

My friend Pooja has written a three-part ‘Bookbinding 101‘ series for Design*Sponge, and I was lucky enough to be the photographer! The first post is up now, so go check it out – you can learn how to make a 5-hole pamphlet stitched book!

Thanks so much Pooja!

Do you guys know Frankie Magazine? If you don’t, you definitely should! It’s a gorgeous Australian publication, and the only magazine I buy.. I love it.

So you can imagine my excitement when I was contacted by them a few weeks ago to answer some questions about Singapore for their blog! Cue giant smiley face :D

Well, the post is up and if you’d like to have a read you can find it here! And if you’d like to know more about the magazine, head here.

Thanks for having me Frankie! :)

I was in my favourite book shop the other day (Kinokuniya in case you were wondering) and picked up this gorgeous magazine – Sweet.

It’s a really lovely baking magazine, but this issue has me particularly excited because… I’m in it!!!! Recognise those sparkly cake toppers?? Yeah baby!

Proud moment over here :)

Hi there, nice to meet you!

I was chatting with a friend of mine the other day (hi Lisa!), and we came to the conclusion that I don’t share enough personal stuff on the blog with my lovely, wonderful readers.. and that (in fact) my lovely, wonderful readers may actually like to know a bit more about the person who posts here every day.

Was she right?

I hope so, because I’m about to tell you about myself anyway! Hopefully once you know a bit more about me, we can be friends! So here goes… 15 things about me.

1. Here is what I look like:

2. I’m closer to 30 than I’d care to admit, and it kinda scares me a bit!

3. I am Australian (from Brisbane), but lived in Germany for 3 years, and now live in Singapore.

4. I will be getting married in March to my man of nearly 9 years, Dave.

5. I have a degree in Graphic Design.

6. I get teased (playfully!) that I can’t open my eyes when I smile (they squish up).. but they ARE open, just only a little bit :)

7. I LOVE animals, and long to have a pet. We had a beautiful dog growing up, and two adorable rabbits while we were in Germany that we miss like crazy.

8. I am generally quite shy and introverted.. until I get to know you, then there’s no holding back! haha

9. I don’t tan, and sunburn really easily :(

10. If I’m tired, hungry, or hot.. don’t even bother talking to me.

11. I love to travel, but I hate flying. I did get upgraded once, which actually made the whole flying thing about a million times more bearable. No surprises there.

12. My ideal night involves take-out, a Pixar movie, and the couch. Or Harry Potter.. I do enjoy a bit of HP.

13. I work at home, in the third bedroom of our apartment which we’ve converted into my ‘studio’. This is it just after we moved in (left), and as it is right at this second (right – eep)..

14. My favourite meal would have to be my Mum’s apricot chicken. And lasagne, and roast lamb, and.. lets just say I enjoy going home :)

15. I am a notoriously slow eater.. my family actually leaves me at the table because they get sick of waiting for me!

Phew, there we go! These were just 15 random things I thought of, but if there’s anything else you’d like to know about me, feel free to ask in the comments or just send me an email!
