Wander 【 Blooming April 】

April was a good month with the rare mass blooming of flowers along the roadsides, parks and also gardens. I had long walks exploring more possibility to see Singapore covered in riots of colours from the blooming flowers. So in Japan, April is the time for cherry blossom season too and here in Singapore, I stopped to see Trumpet trees in pink or white that look alike to Sakura. How I miss hanami in Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden ! But still I am still delighted to see the beautiful sight in our little island.

Sometime we do need to stop for a while and start to appreciate the little wonders around us that we have never taken any notice. These are not all of what I have taken and of course there are more on the flickr.

A Fairy Tale

 

Start of spring

heart in bloom

our whisperings in sunlit rooms.

 

Summer was felt a little more

in autumn I began to fall.

 

When winter came with all its white,

you were mine to kiss good night.

Not A Retail Shop // NÓNG

I can never imagine this pop up happening on the sixth floor of the carpark in People's Park Complex even though I have visited this place many years back. The charm of this old building never fails to attract me to always come back quietly for a visit.

Here you can find workshops and sessions organised by NÓNG of Edible Gardens or even buy some seeds and gardening equipment. Furniture, kitchenware, and attractive useful items on sale by Naiise and awesome quality goods from independent makers sourced by Haystakt. It was such a pity that the lovely space would be only till end March and I hope I have share with you too late.

















Just in case if you have missed the pop-up, you can always visit Haystakt’s online new crowd-pricing platform – PROJECTS . Customers influence on the price of a product based on the more it was ordered, the lesser the consumers pay.

If you have visited Temporium, you will know about the beautiful ceramics sold there. I am already eyeing on the ceramic tea cups moulded from bamboo stems by Weekend Workers feat. Ong Su Loon so please support and I can get at a lower price :D

Temporium【CLOSED】// Singapore Design Week

Recently I been lazy around, so sorry that this post came so late and "Temporium" as its name suggested was a temporary pop-up from September 2013 to Mar 2014
:O The dates totally reminded me that these photos were taken only in their second week of operation and I could sit on them for months if wasn't for the Singapore Design Week.

Even though the shop ceased operation on 8 March, the good news is Temporium has been included as one of the stops in the design trail for Singapore Design Week organised by Design Singapore. So if you would like to drop by for one last time, they will be open tomorrow on 15 March (Saturday). On top of that, their team will be sharing, amongst other invited speakers, about the vision, reason and inspiration behind Temporium. For those who've missed or those who have visited, this is one last opportunity.

I do misses Complements Of  - food and drinks by Papa Palheta and Wild Rocket as well as the beautiful ceramic by Weekend Worker's  For more information do check out their facebook.

After looking at the stunning photos, it is hard to resist not making a trip down after all my last trip was 3 years back. I do hope I can get a film camera and do some documenting soon.
