Yes, you didn’t read wrongly and Itchyfingers didn’t type wrong either….Itchyfingers is going MAAD! Hahahah….Not MAD lah…Itchyfingers is still sane…

“MAAD” actually stands for “Market of Artists And Designers”. It’s for “artists, designers, architects, craft makers, illustrators photographers, performer, song writers, musicians, singer or anyone with a creative passion” to participate and show your work of love. If you are not aware, Itchyfingers has been exercising those itchy fingers during her free time making little furry animals. Have been planning to showcase and promote these creations for the longest time and finally signed up for the upcoming MAAD this coming June. However work commitment and deadlines make it tough to find time to create more pieces, or even to blog often…(Itchyfingers apologize for missing in action lately!) But I guess everyone has to start somewhere…so Itchyfingers is gonna start small… :p

So if you are from Singapore or happened to be in town and have a bit of spare time, do hop down to the Red Dot Museum to say hello to Itchyfingers on Friday, 1 June from 5pm till midnight. It’s the former Traffic Police Building and the nearest MRT station is Tanjong Pagar. It takes you no more than five minutes to walk to the dark red building opposite the famous Maxwell Market. Besides handmade products, you can also enjoy free music and sample or buy yummy food or even have your portrait drawn!

We hope to see you there!

My friend Butterfly, who is now based in Melbourne, bought me this cute little snack. At first I thought it’s another new snack from the same brand, although the photo on the pack looked familiar. Alas, upon opening up, it was really the same thing…They have updated the look of the pack…Can’t find this product in the super mart now for some reason…Not popular?

Remember this Taiwanese snack with the cute little girl’s name and cartoon
character as the brand? I always thought it is unique branding….

Rays of Lights

Itchyfingers just finished a long day of bird photography session and was walking home after dinner, when I noticed an unusual red tinge showing through the horizon against the HDB flats. Unfortunately the view was partially covered by the hoarding of the construction work. The moment I stepped out of the lift, I turned to the direction of the setting sun…and was I glad to have done that! It was an exceptionally hot day when we were out in the field, and that must had contributed to the intensity of the orange glow of the sun. It was breathe taking…and I was glad I was there at the right time!

The brilliant rays of lights from the setting sun were shining through the
layers of clouds…This was not the work of Photoshop! It was the work of
Mother Nature!
