aha!!! got this handphone pouch from tere today at lunch. she was so anxious to show it to me that she called me up. "vi, where are you? coming here for lunch?"

this one is the second revised design. the first was pink satin with black laces (do we call it lace?). however, it was too squarish and therefore i asked for some revision in the design. i certainly like this one more.

took quite long to adjust the color of this particular photo. i usually like my photos contrast, but this particular one cannot be adjusted too contrast. too contrast and it will "lose" its soft lacey feeling. that's my perception anyway. however, it is certainly not easy to adjust the photo to exactly the same colour as what it looks physically. plus, different monitor produces different colour and has different settings. why am i writing about all this colour adjustment thingy anyway?

juli came up with the idea of selling these pouches, but after some calculation, we figured the cost itself is too expensive. lace alone (60 cm width) costs around a few hundred thousand per metre. unless we use lower quality laces.

also received "dining indulgences by amex" from indra. "anybody can make you enjoy the first bite of a dish, but only a real chef can make you enjoy the last. - francois minot" was written on the back of the book. not sure if i would actually use it as guidance, but i like to flip through it anyway.

oh... the pleasure of having cousins. full of envy? oh well, i love them more than you can imagine.
