Shoes for Ladies and Gents

Today About.com’s guide to shoes Desiree Stimpert wrote this very nice article about my artwork. Of course I am most grateful for the kind words and the fact she purchased two of my pieces: one from my shoe art gallery and Times Square, New York City. Great choices on two artworks I enjoyed creating.

Two Trips a Year

Entrance fee to Westiminister Abbey in London is a cool GBP15.00 (approx RM74.00). That's why I just passed the abbey and snapped a photo of it from outside :-)

Travelling is expensive, no doubt about it.

When daily expenses starts eating into savings, most people would put travelling last on the list of "needs" as travelling is definitely a "want" which you can go without.

As for me, travelling is important. It not only adds spice to the routine of life, it's also a breakaway, a learning experience and definitely an enriching experience. I want to continue travelling as long as I am able to.

But since travelling needs $$$, I have devised a plan according to my budget, i.e. to travel twice in a year - one in the first half and the other in the second half.

The first trip will be within the region with a plane ticket averaging RM1,000. This would allow me to travel to places like South East Asia and South Asia.

The second trip will be a "bigger" one, meaning the destination will be further from home, with a plane ticket averaging RM2,000 and above. This means Europe, Middle East, South Africa, etc.

It's tough especially when the yearnings of travel are deep, but the pocket ain't deep enough!

Now that I've just started my new job, I was rather apprehensive that my new boss may not approve long periods of leave.

But during our recee trip to Langkawi recently, we spoke quite a bit and I was relieved to know that she's an avid traveller herself. So she understands why I need to travel :-) In fact, she has verbally agreed to approve my 2-week leave come year end, yippie!

I Can't Open This Stubborn Jam Bottle


I bought this jam a couple of weeks ago and till today I can't open the damn bottle.

I've tried all sorts of methods - putting a rubber sheet around the cover for a good grip, waiting until the bottle is in room temperature, heating up the cover on the stove, etc.

I even brought the bottle back to my mum's place to see if she know of any special tips in opening stupid, stubborn jam bottles. Unfortunately her attempts were also futile.

I think I need to bring the bottle to the office and get one of my male colleagues to open it. I need a pair of strong hands as mine ain't strong enough to open this stubborn bottle.

Note to self: Never ever buy Steffi jam again !!!

My Oregano Plant


This is my new oregano plant. Bought it for RM9.50 from one of the stalls at the Friday market behind my office building.

Opening price was RM10.00 but the seller wouldn't give me for RM8.00 that I asked for. So had to go with RM9.50 loh ...

Anyway, when I moved into my apartment 3 years ago, I left my balcony empty cause I didn't want to clutter it. Everything has to be zen like, you know.

But lately I've been wanting to plant flowers to make my balcony colourful and alive. But somehow couldn't start my green fingers engine. Maybe I was too busy cyber-farming on FarmVille :-)

This oregano plant came about after a friend suggested that I plant herbs instead of flowers. And if this oregano grows well, I wanna start planting petunias in hanging pots on my balcony.

I think I need to harvest my oregano soon.

Gemini Tattoos Pictures and Review

A tattoo of a Celtic Gemini is much more elaborate with Celtic knots and patterns intermingled with the simple Gemini twin symbol. They are usually found in only black ink with some occasional fading around the lines, but they can also be very colorful and lively.

Tribal Tattoo Designs

Tribal Tattoo Designs

Tribal tattoo designs are highly preferred by the tattoo fans. Their interesting patterns and versatility have made them hot choice of scores of tattoo fans.

Tribal tattoo designs have always fascinated tattoo enthusiasts with their unique patterns and mystic symbolisms. There are several historical facts associated with tribal tattoos. Believed to have been in use since ages, tribal tattoos were largely used by tribal communities in the early years. They are said to have got these designs inked on their skin to depict their identity or their belongingness to a particular tribe.

Depending upon the size and style, the tribal tattoos were also used to reflect social status. Some people opted for tribal tattoo due to certain rituals that were considered important in their community. There were still others who believed that tribal tattoos had great healing and magical powers and hence used them for acquiring those powers.

Tribal Tattoo Designs

But today, in the modern times, tribal tattoos are no longer associated with any particular class and are stripped off their social and religious meanings that ancient people held. Most of the tribal tattoo arts that we see today are based on Polynesian tattoo designs and tattoo designs of the tribes of Borneo, namely the Iban and Kayan (Sarawak) and the Kenyah (Kalimantan)

Over the years, tribal tattoos have undergone some changes not only in terms of their meanings but also their patterns. In the recent times, a new tribal style has emerged. This latest tribal style is a combination of original tribal designs with some interesting additional patterns including curves, interlocking formations and interesting complementary designs like rose, butterfly, angel etc.

Popular tribal designs

Though there are thousands of tribal tattoo designs available, some of them are most popular and have been hot–favorite of many tattoo fans. Some of the highly preferred tribal tattoos are:

  1. Tribal Dragon Tattoos
  2. Tribal Phoenix tattoos
  3. Tribal sun tattoos
  4. Tribal butterfly tattoo
  5. Zodiac tattoos
  6. Flower tattoos

There are several other tribal designs including animal tattoos like tiger, wolf, bear and many more.

Advantages of tribal tattoo designs

  • Apart from being unique and appealing, tribal tattoos are also more preferable due to their other additional advantages. Some of them are listed below:
  • Tribal tattoos usually require lot of black ink. This holds up the design very well and for long. Black tattoo ink does not fade easily.
  • You can always experiment with a tribal tattoo pattern and design your own tribal tattoo.
  • Tribal tattoos can be inked on any portion of the body. Their thick, black curving lines and interlocking patterns give them a bold visual appeal that looks good on many of the standard tattoo locations, such as the upper arm, the back or the lower back.
