HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012!

This year's end was a special for me, spending it with my family and my friends, Cindy Snowfern and Sans. We were staying for the New Year at Marina Bay Sands hotel. And on top is the scene from the 57th floor.

Us four ladies had an early celebration, with the strawberry sparkling wine that Sans brought for us and the strawberries. Although too bad that I didn't like the drink so much, but at least I've tried it. :) I brought in a mont blanc cake which i HEART so much, but we didn't manage to get it to the hotel safely (the top fell over during our journey) so we never take any picture of it. If you manage to travel to Singapore, I really recommend you to go to K-Ki and have their cake; hopefully you are lucky enough to be able to have the mont blanc cake!

We kept laughing the whole time and were the noisiest around (as always). Much of our silly photos on Sans's post here.

Rilakkuma Christmas Papercraft

Recently I was getting into the hobby of papercrafts, and here is what I made recently. I finished it in time for christmas just forgot to take photo of them.

First firework of 2012!

and first sunrise of the year :)

And here is what I made recently; a 1:24 osechi set!

compared to the 1:12 that I did two years ago

And my taiyaki family (from top: scale 1:4, scale 1:6, scale 1:12, scale 1:24). I will create a cute packaging for it soon. :)

I never made any new year's resolution before, but I want to try it this year :)

1. I have to make at least 12 new illustrations this year (once a month, or possibly two).

2. save enough money to travel to Korea (and even pay for my mom's as well).

3. learn Japanese again!

4. lastly make and sell more minis (of course)!

So how did you spent your new year? I hope you all did have fun! :D

And not forgetting: last 20 hours for my giveaway! Maybe I'll let the winner choose their own present instead (subject to availability)
