The rain has come…

for an hour and here to celebrate the rain after weeks of infernal weather, are photos of rain drops , there were no dew drops since the heat evaporates any bit of moisture in the air.

On papaya leaf…

… and banana leaf.

I have been away for the longest time, but I have been crafting a bit whenever I make time.

I have been working with polymer clay and I am out of ideas at the moment. But I have been working with something new – peg dolls.

Here are some pics of the peg dolls I made … ( Hidan, Zetsu, Naruto,Tobi and Miroku)

Process, draw them out on paper and when satisfied with the look and draw it on the peg dolls like these guys, Genma and Roy Mustang.

This is Roy Mustang from Full Metal Alchemist,

and here is Genma from Naruto.

Well the main reason I’ve been away from the blog and shop….too much Japanese Anime and Korean,Taiwanese and Japanese F4. I got hooked watching the Korean version and decided to check out the Japanese anime Hana Yori Dango. Once I finished watching the anime , I could not get enough F4, so I checked out the Taiwanese Meteor Garden 1 & 2 , while still waiting for the korean version to finish. I also watched the Japanese series and the movie as well. Finally its all over with the Korean series up for another season, I have started watching Naruto, Naruto Shippuden and Full Metal Alchemist and what not. They have become my inspiration to create my own toys using the peg dolls. I have done a few characters already , with most of the dolls coming from Naruto and one from Inuyasha and another from Full Metal Alchemist.

Maybe one day I will have a peg doll army ….haha.

Anyone interested in getting your favorite anime into a peg doll, feel free to contact me and I am up for challenges!

What the?

This is from blogspot ….

Its been sometime, since I last moved to blogspot…after wordpress kinda crashed on me …boo hoo…but anyways I don’t plan to stop blogging.

I had to get up at 3 am in the morning to attend a special pooja sometime ago….it was quite an experience and after which I had an invitation for housewarming from my uncle all on the same day.

Upon reaching his flat we found a seafood restaurant with all these fishes and crabs waiting for their turn to the dinner plate.

I finally had a chance to go to batu cave in Malaysia last month , before heading off to Kuala Lumpur, we dropped by Johor Bahru Mariamman temple and had a hearty breakfast at a nearby Indian food stall.

This is at the temple

and later somewhere in between Johor and Kuala Lumpur

and finally made it to Kuala Lumpur and onto Batu Caves

and later after climbing up the stairs all the way to the top harrassed by monkeys and rainfall ( although the stairs weren’t slippery just the occasional banana peels littered here and there by the monkeys… you get to see this beautiful statue

and you walk on to see that are more stairs to be tackled , going down and up again

and you see the main shrine

After praying , I went on to tackle the next set of stairs even further , 

unfortunately I did not take my camera with me to take pictures …..it was wonderful just to be there and see this…

and after a bit of wandering around I went down the steps to have another shot

The time was up to head back to our travel coach and this time I didn’t think the monkeys will bother me so I got to take some photos descending…

and this shot was taken roughly around the tip of the statue od Murugan..

It was a long and tiring trip but I enjoyed myself

A note to anyone….

Oooooo….I have not written for a few days…blah that..anyways the dream led me to borrow this movie called ” an inconvenient truth .”

It was good, very good. It is the truth afterall. If nothing is done about global warming…many island countries plus a few states are gonna be covered in sea water (inclusive of where I am currently residing). Not a happy thought indeed. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. What can one person do to make a difference when the rest are indifferent or simply thinking like what I am thinking.

Visit www.climatecrisis.net for anyone who cares or better still, go watch the movie!

The sea is rising!

No, it had nothing to do with global warming. It just a dream I keep having. I probably could write a story on it.

It begins with me being in a office building…those high rise sky scrapers found here. People looking out of the window and watching this huge tsunami wave, about the height of a 20 storey building, waiting to crash down to the ground.

People panicking , lotsa dying and so on. It was like watching “Deep Impact” and what’s that other movie..ummm, ” The day after tomorrow” .

Next scene , I find myself in an outdoor plaza…midway in the building ..watching the sea level rising.

to be cont.d…..lunch
