Marching On

SoldiersNecklace: Grammah

Marching into twenty thirteen like a warrior and flying the badass to uranus because i'm two months away to the nineteenth year on planet earth. New challenges accepted and another step closer towards the goal is what i will pursue. We'll see about the rest when it comes along but i mustn't waver. My lovely friends, pray for me when you think about me that i will be strengthened every morning. The one above will hear and i will receive your blessings. Thank you in advance for everything that's coming.

As for the (almost) psychedelic printed tube dress from Billabong and the blue basics that my mother passed down to me, that may also seem familiar to the eyes of some, is a mix that i reused since the last time in the states. Except for the soldiers necklace that has just joined the family, everything else are familiar on the blog. Those soldiers from Grammah definitely made lazy days so much easier for me because all eyes are fixed on them, everywhere. You may not be able to find the same group of loyal soldiers in the shop anymore but good things never stop appearing in there anyway, so be hopeful! May you get a pleasant surprise from Grammah when you do visit her the next time, she always have something ready for the grandchildren.

Just do everything you wanted to do in twenty thirteen. 

Don't let the thinking kill your energy.

POP goes the lappy case.

Yes, this is the laptop case that i've been making/talking/complaining/feeling sad and happy about on twitter. The thing about this bubble wrap laptop case and the multi-coloured clutch is that both of them are made out of recycled items. Bubble wrap is a very light and highly flexible material which is made of polyethylene ideally used to protect fragile, electronic and odd shaped products. It is also very useful in normal
envelopes to protect CD's and DVD's and flash drives. The biggest benefits of using bubble wrap is that is soft and light, is recyclable, improves your product presentation, assists in packaging protection against shocks and scratches. Therefore, this bubble wrap laptop case is certainly the safest (as there are 6 layers of bubble wrap ensuring the safety of your lappy, two outer layers above the cloth are for you to pop away during lectures or when you're taking a lonely bus ride home), the cutest, the most unusual cover for you and your lappy.

You may customize your own laptop case with your own name or any word that you may want on the flap, front or back of the case just like the one above that has ALICIA on the flap of the casing. And also choose from a range of patterns of cloths that you would like. Patterns will be uploaded on this post by tonight so take your time to consider and trust the bubble wraps and get ready to customize your own cover tonight! To know when the patterns are uploaded, you may want to follow me on Twitter-elisabluop.

For more details of the laptop case, or if you want to get your dearest lappy a safe and comfortable case and save the earth together with me, please email me at elisalim_shien@hotmail.com and i promise to get back to you asap.

We Found Love In A Hopeless Place-Uyii

Guess where was i during the weekends? At the strangest corner of Singapore, 22Sin Ming Lane, a piece of land even the google map can't detect. Why was I even there in the first place? To visit the loveliest, ulu-est and most environmental friendly studio in Midview City, A Craft Initiative. In A Craft Initiative, there are lots of handmade bags, pouches,cushions, materials, sewing machines and creative people. All for Uyii. 

Uyii is a label start by a couple that were initially educators under MOE(Ministry of Education) but had something for creativity and believed that they can design and hand-make their own bags in Singapore. Hence, they decided to start a hand-made product line with the help and creativity of their ex students which then became the designers of Uyii.

One thing i appreciate most about Uyii was the feeling that i received when i first look at their products. I sensed simplicity, love and effort put into the making of their hand-made bags(certainly not a feeling that i get all the time when i see things). I may sound really strange now but the pleasant feeling is really undeniable.

Not exactly the motto of Uyii but some important words to the designers.

This is the inspiration to the making of those nap sac bags below. It was a bag sewed by a designer for herself during her days in JC(junior college).

The larger half bags can be carried in three different ways. Pretty innovative designers.

Tell me, am i not right to say that A Craft Initiative place is the most environmental friendly studio?

Of course i am.

Welcome to Uyii-Different, no difference
