The Scientific 7-Minute Workout

2013-05-15T10:00:00.000+08:00

I never thought I would get to do a workout related post here on my design blog but his chart looks cute enough to be a pattern on a shirt. But don't let the little man in red shorts fool you, because I realized after the second step this is no joke. This is called The Scientific 7-Minute Workout from the NY Times blog. Well, if there's anything that can get me to workout, it's a beautifully designed instruction :)

I will not make it past 6.

Savone

2013-05-14T10:00:00.000+08:00

The beautiful divided plates called Savone from Metaphys of Japan. The inspiration came from bubbles and how they gently connect to each other.

Weekend Love: Cherry tomatoes

2013-05-13T10:00:00.001+08:00

Hope everyone is coming back from a healthy, happy weekend! I started the weekend by making myself a super easy breakfast. Just olive oil dipped cherry tomatoes over a thick layer of cream cheese on baguette. Complete with a pinch of salt n pepper. Simply delicious :)

Enjoy with a hot cup of tea for a lazy saturday morning ♡

Weekend Love: Singapore Stay-cation

2013-05-06T21:47:00.001+08:00

Welcome back to a new week! I think I enjoyed myself a little too much over the weekend with an impromptu stay-cation right here in Singapore. I have to say, we did a pretty good job making it feel like we were off this little island. Here are my 3 easy steps to the perfect Singapore stay-cation.

1. The Stay. Luckily our friends invited us to spend 2 nights at the Orchard Scott which made this whole stay-cation possible. Pool is a must to get you in the holiday mood!

2. The Tourist. We headed up Bukit Timah road to the new farmer's market, Pasarbella, at the Turf City. This place totally feels like your are outside of Singapore.

3. The Feast. We were eating constantly like people do when they're overseas. We had a big barbeque to finish off the weekend. Nothing says holiday like a fresh seafood barbeque.

BONUS: Catch the sunrise of sunset. It's refreshing to wake up to a different view. I watched this sunrise out of the room we stayed in around 6:50 am.

and lastly, post all your photos on facebook ;)

Inspired by: Isabelle Boinot

2013-05-03T10:00:00.000+08:00

It's always fun to look at your own country through the eye's of a foreigner. Especially when the presentation is fun and quirky like the travel journal by Isabelle Boinot. I just discovered this book, Sumimasen, full of illustrated sketches and all the little things she picked up during her trip to Japan. This makes me want to carry around a sketch book again :)

Maybe we can put down the instagrams for the weekend and pick up a pen.

Weekend Love: Oh so Singapore

2013-04-29T10:00:00.000+08:00

What a fun filled weekend ;) Anyone here attend the Public Garden flea market at the National Museum of Singapore? This is one market full of creative people and I saw a couple of items I've introduced here on Ringology. And what a beautiful location for the event.

In the evening I headed to Overeasy for a friend's birthday party. This is probably the most over-photographed scenery in Singapore but the moon was so beautiful on Saturday that I had to.

I ended the weekend with a Sunday tea session at the new Jones the Grocer in ION Orchard. I love the atmosphere and it's perfect for some girl's talk over dessert.

and how was your weekend?!

Inspired by: Lydia Kasumi

2013-04-26T10:00:00.000+08:00

It's always amazing when an artist presents us with a whole new way to experience a certain material, especially one that is so common like paper. That's why I love the works of Lydia Kasumi Shirreff, a paper engineer in London. Her work is a combination of beautiful details, fun geometry and whimsical colors that will brighten up anyone's day.

Canvas Chair

2013-04-22T10:00:00.000+08:00

It's been exciting to see all the intriguing works from the Milan Design Week 2013 shared online, but my favorite is definitely the Canvas by YOY Design Studio of Japan. This may just look like art but you can actually take a seat on it! Made possible by stretching the printed elastic fabric over a frame made of wood and aluminum. How clever :)

Welcome back to a new week! Between a wedding, two birthday parties, house viewing and reunion with friends... I'm exhausted! and looks like I only managed to take one decent photo over the weekend... how cute are these hot pink buns!?

That's all I have for you today because like the work of Eric Mistretta says, I need to chill after such an eventful weekend! For a second there I thought my husband wrote this XD
