Conversations about Jewellery Designing and Life
I’ve tendered my resignation this morning. Been thinking about it for the longest time, held back by fear and uncertainty of being unemployed/ self-employed. This morning, I felt ready and since it’s something that I will do sooner or later, I printed out the letter and handed it over. Took several baby steps to reach […]
Read MoreHey! How is it going? It’s been about 2 months since my last entry, back in January. To spice up my life in these troubled and unstable times, I’m on a quest to learn new skills. For the past 2 months, I’ve been busy experimenting with Taiwanese egg rolls. Today, I would like to share […]
Read MoreHey there! Happy new year! I wish you and your family nothing but the best for 2021! There’s been an insane amount of rainfall since… Last year (hehe). Didn’t celebrate much; not a party person and the covid situation kind of encourages me to even further isolate myself, if that’s even possible. I’m happy 2020 […]
Read MoreHello! Been a while since my last entry. Today was a long and fruitful day. Came back from work and even went for my night jog showered. Bed time is about 2 hours from now, since I just came out from my shower, I decided to write a little update before I continue with my […]
Read MoreJust feel like writing something at the moment, so here I am. Let’s see… How have I been recently? Haven’t been making much progress with the Web Development online course.

The world is still trying to get back on its feet after the pandemic which means, unfortunately, travelling still isn’t something that is readily available for most of us. I’m waiting with bated breath […]
Read MoreSpent around 3 hours grinding 5 new gravers by hand. By the end of it, I was all sweaty and sticky and my right hand felt numb. However, with my hard work, comes 5 new gravers for me to use in my future project. I cannot wait and try them out. Conclusion My personal “Circuit […]
Read MoreWent to Plaza Singapure in Dhoby Ghaut for the first time since weeks. Now that retail businesses are allowed to open again, I headed down to the “Art Friend” and bought some crafting material, namely the 3mm brass rods required to finish making my DIY sharpening templates. I didn’t loiter. Took the train down, headed […]
Read MoreFelt that I didn’t cut deep enough on the wings of my butterfly; there are tiny patches of white where the black paint doesn’t cover. This afternoon, I retouched the wings again, this time, making sure that I’ve made deep and even cuts across the existing cuts, throughout the wings. I have also made it […]
Read MoreEngraved another beetle on a 500 Korean Won coin. Not too bad. I could have done the shading a bit better. I’ll be returning to work next Monday (22nd June), thus ending my “Circuit Breaking Stay Home” period. It’s been a crazy 70 odd days, but I feel I’ve managed to make use of this […]
