This year, I want to learn to draw simple stuff. I’ve always believed that your ability to draw is something you either have in you, or you just don’t. And for me, I was never good at it so that talent is probably not in my genetic make-up. My attempt at drawing in the past has always been, well, attempts. And I’ve never really done the 10,000 hours to make myself better at it either. Luckily for me, …

Three bizarre & somewhat useful iPhone accessories that we all sort of need
If you own an iPhone or any other smart phone, chances are you’ve also bought some accessories to go with it. I’m thinking at least a screen protector and a case. In the good old days we also have vanity chains, nowadays we have those cute little things plucked to the headphone jack (ridiculous looking actually, but cute!) Some people might even have pouches or wallets, some bling the phone up with some Swarovski crystals …
Three tips for better time management and priorities – a life hack worth hacking
Have you ever been too overwhelmed with so many things that you no longer prioritise what is important? When the urgent keeps taking over the important, soon you are just catching up instead of doing and choosing what is important. I have, many times in my life, fallen into this trap. Maybe it is part of who I am. I am easily excited by so many things. I am passionate about so many different projects and events. …
“Because creativity is not an elective anymore, it’s our future!”

And it’s gonna be a challenge. Creativity is about storytelling. And expression. And passion. And heart. Now creativity is digital. There are entire generations that have grown up in the digital world. Creativity is more important than ever. But …
Shhh… Time to mute the noise and disconnect?
Many years ago, it was so difficult to meet up with someone without a mobile phone. It was so tiring to have to look through Yellow Pages to find a plumber (I say tiring because that yellow book is seriously heavy!) And it was also extremely hard to keep in touch with people or make new connections. The introduction of three “things” made this possible (and they go hand in hand very well.) However, fast forward …
This Boxing Day, I shall splurge
Everyone who knows me knows how much I love bargains. I love finding sale items on the cheap. My eyes lit up when stumbling across some hidden gems for 75% off. That’s just me. I know a lot of girls are like me too. That is why Boxing Day is a huge thing. Boxing Day, “celebrated” on 26 December, is the one day where many retail stores around Australia offer huge discounts and open really …
iPhone 5: First impressions from an avid Apple fan
I have always been an iGeek. No, not an iSheep. I don’t like that term, for an obvious reason (ie. I doubt many Apple fans will like being called a sheep.) I do not follow Apple blindly, but I do follow them with much admiration. And I am proud to be an iGeek. Now, before I go into more details in reviewing my experience of owning my first iPhone – the new iPhone 5 – …
