Hatchday 26 + 10 @ Opus with the SmartLab gang

gatecrashed uncle yc & his 2 'girlfriends' gathering @ Opus, Hilton Hotel on 19 October just so to claim my hatchday meal from Joyce... wahahahaha 




Joyce and I shared a chicken which was average only ... totally not worth the price of $48++... =P 



on the other hand, this steak for 2 that came with free flow wine; sparkling, white & red was super worth it at $120++ 

very good review on the wine from the 3 酒鬼s 
 
while i was more into their pretty pretty dessert .. the mango yogurt that looked like a popsicle was yummmzzz....  

uncle commented that this hazelnut dessert below had 'poop' on it.... (-.-!!!) 


from Adele, "The best thing that came out from working at SL was the friendship forged"... totally agree... =)

Key chain workshop @ BE : LeatherLab with the Artzy Buzzers


Fid and I were invited to a free key chain workshop by the lady boss of BE: LeatherLab ... =D


from a home studio which Lene and I handcrafted our leather card holder last September to a studio studio on the 6th storey of Gemini @ Sims, walking distance from Aljunied Mrt station within a year plus of business... business must be GREAT!!! Congrats on your expansion and best wishes for your ever expanding business!!! 


such a cool idea to use and hang a whole piece of leather as deco siah.... i also want to sign on that piece of leather!!! ... wahahaha.... 


the workshop started off with a lecture on leather; the genuine vs the faux and the process on how animal skin becomes leather


so many colours to choose from!!! 


yet my favourite is still the basic camel brown.... got it to match my special 4-way coin pouch which i bought from them last year... =)
  

and after about 30 minutes of hard work ... i have a handcrafted key chain that is matchy matchy with my coin pouch.... luv luv.... wanted to transfer my keys over immediately then i remembered that i did not have my keys with me that day... wahahaha... sleepy me had left home without my keys in the morning.... =S  

happi participants showing off our new leather key chains... yeah!!! 


while Fid was checking out some of the other courses (pyrography, leather book cover binding, mandala etc) that were available in the next few weeks, i took a walk around the studio and found myself at their display corner and this cute little sling bag caught my eye.... small and simple yet spacious enough for all my barang barang on a typical weekend date... 

 took me more than 20 minutes and 2 tries with it in front of the mirror before i decided that it shall be my hatchday gift to myself... ordered one in camel brown and received a discount on it for being a returning customer...  =D 

am waiting eagerly for collection day.... 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

opened up the goody bags that Fid gave and found so much love in them.... 
Thanks Fid!!! All the best for your NAEA 2018 presentation...
