Play Sets Of Yesteryears

I thought I was mistaken when I saw on instagram photos of the playground installation in the heart of Singapore's bustling business district, Raffles Place. Commemorating 50 years of Greening Singapore, the interesting theme of " Play Sets Of Yesteryears " features 1970s and ’80s nostalgic playsets of old-school swings, see-saws and a merry-go-round brought over from various playgrounds around town such as Fort Canning Park and Mount Emily Park.

I do not and have not work in Raffles Place but there is always a sense of claustrophobia, the skyscrapers, impatient hurried footsteps and people busy with handphones. I was really happy to see that the installations on the lush green lawn injecting some fun to the surrounding. People relaxing on the swings during lunch hours and the vibes was different even on one Sunday I visited to see that it was still packed with families and couples. The installation will be in the central business district until May 19, before moving to East Coast Park (June and July), Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park (August-October) and the Botanic Gardens (November-December).

Etsy Pick Of The Week : Cat Lover

Smetimes when I go for lunch or dinner, I'll walk past an orange stray cat that is always sleeping. I began to notice her but she is never awake. Sometimes she lazed on the ledge of the bank teller, sometimes she lazed on the pavement but most of the time she is there. One night after my dinner, I purposely walked over to find her and for the first time I saw her awake. She was such a little pink-nose cutie walking over to me rubbing against my leg to show affection.

After that night, she was gone, I was feeling sad and missing her even though she's a stray. It was my last time seeing her. Anyway, this week I have picked a few cat related items of my likings, are there any of your likings too?

Orla Kiely

I've happened to pass by Orla Kiely showcase at Tangs last Sunday and even though I was in a rush, I actually stopped for a minute considering if I should get the bag on the shelves hahahaha. If you have been following me on my blog, you'll know that I seldom blog about fashion or any major brands but I've been wanting to show more of what I like so here I started first with the Orla Kiely AW'13 presentation.

I love how they have the models pretending to work in the office set up and the efforts in every little details. The pretty dresses and styling of the models brought me back to the retro past and I wish those were mine. There are some photos on Orla Kiely's instagram and the photos I've used on my blog are via Kris Atomic, you can follow her on her original blog post and more awesome photos here.
