Color me pretty

I am so happy today! I went to the Marrickville library this arvo to see whether they're willing to put a drop off box for the Color-Me-Pretty Competition and I was so lucky to meet Sue, the lady in charge of the library, and she's so supportive about our Creative Lane! Sue heard about Creative Lane from a knitting group at the library and she is more than happy to help us to put the poster up at the library, giving people the coloring competition and leaving the drop off box at the front door.

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!

She said there's a meeting room at the library and if we want to organize any workshop, we can use it for free!!! Oh My God!!! How lucky are we!! Very soon Creative Lane will organize with the Marrickville Library to offer some free workshop during school holiday as well! I can't wait to see Creative Lane getting one step forward and doing something different again!!!

The coloring competition will be soon distribute to local schools and libraries, if you're inner west resident and willing to help out, please drop me a line at suki@miao.com.au. As you know this event is aiming to helping local artists and getting people more involved with the art and craft, your help does make a difference to many people's lives. I am here to say THAN YOU to all your help and support and looking forward to see you soon.

Creative Lane

Creative Lane has ended few days ago but I am even more busier than before the market started! There are so many things I have to do. Booking venue for the next market, updating photos, blogs, facebook, changing application form, evaluation and plan for the next event, etc etc. Unlimited tasks with limited time. There are so many things that I want to do better for next time and I can't wait to see the next event happen! Stay tuned coz I'll be announcing who's the lucky winner for the show bags soon!!!

New Couch

Well, it's not really new, but I just put some rain drops on it, inspired by the stupid weather here.... the weather's been awful, rain, wind, grey and wet....

Vivid Sydney 2011

I've heard about this light show for so many years but I've never been to one before. Last night I was having a farewell dinner with my friends and we organized a small walk around the opera house and circular quay, and we saw this beautiful beautiful light show around the Opera House, MCA and the Rocks. It is SOOOO beautiful!!! It makes me completely fall in love with Sydney again, I reckon all the Sydneysiders should go and have a look. You'll regret it if you don't.

Between Friday 27 May and Monday 13 June from 00.00 to 00.00
Vivid Sydney is happening nightly from 6pm – midnight, starting Friday 27 May and running to Monday 13 June.

Hunter Valley

My parents are here for a visit (for a month) and we went to Hunter Valley last week. I always like hunter valley. Compare to most of the tourists spots, I like Hunter Valley the most. It's just a bit different from the beaches and parks in the city. Anyway, this trip is a bit different, coz my dad left the key in the car while he played golf and we have to borrowed a harmer from the hotel and broke MY NEW CAR'S WINDOW to get the key back!!!!!! I was going to get NRMA but my dad said it would take them 2 hours to come here and at the end they may need to break the window, so why don't we break the window by ourselves....

it's really hot

It's been the 6th days we have extreme hot weather in Sydney. It's unbelievable. It's so hot that you don't even want to go to the beach! It's 6pm and it's still 40 degree out there. I can feel the heat sneaking in from the door gap! You feel burnt if you're outdoor, and you feel drunk if you're indoor, its's crazy...

random firework

I heard this is the wettest December we have ever had! I really hate it. Hot and humid, exactly like Hong Kong. I haven't experience this kind of weather for more than 9 years! Anyway, even though it's been raining all week, this sunday after the Wollongong market it just happened to be clear sky.... and very expectedly, somewhere around my home had big big big fireworks!




I always like firework. We went to grandma's home to watch firework every year when I was a kid. I used to go to Sydney Opera House every new year's eve to watch firework. Firework is expensive and it only last for 2 seconds. But when the firework explode in front of me, my world freeze with happiness and I feel like I am the center of the world.
