i spent half of my life away from my home country; some years in US, few years in japan and few months here and there during my career life.
now i am married to a singaporean and give birth to a wonderful singaporean daughter and i have been living here close to 10 years now. so … i really don’t know which one is my home country “lol”.
but for now – singapore is my home. Here is where my love, life, aspiration and hope take place.
so HAPPY BIRTHDaY – Singapore ….
lolo you dont believe it. i am considered as one of the granny from our origin country in sl. few of the young ones came to me and ask for guidance and advise. one of them is dian wemyss. he is from the same country of origin in RL, we speak the same mother toungue.
he agreed to take over my brand and run it for me. OBSCURE – is for male need in sl, just like mix and match concept but is for male. head to toe, all complete with very reasonable price as always. dian is still learning so he is taking it slow. i keep telling him, dont be stress, take it as experience and enjoy the exploration. so bare with him and give him some room to improve.
well his only shop for NOW is at zeord our home ground, right in the corner of eastonia’s mall which is just next door from my mainshop. It is still under construction since he is still working on some of the pieces. some of the items are made by me, i handed it over him so he can continue build around it and modify it as he likes.
here is the logo concept he chose as well as some display of his look …lolo [ quite a hawwwttyyy], so stay tune at mix and match ville for all the things coming up.
we love zeord and eager to learn and explore new things in sl.
hmmm …i dont know how many persen off from original prices “lol” but they are like L1, L5, L10 or most is L20. some of them are my newest items released in summer. BUT i just have to move on to the next season, next level and so on, so i can not keep them anymore be in in my inventory or at my shop. Sooooo, they are on sales now. the locations of the sales is at my sister’s mall just next to my main shop.
and excuse my main shop is under major construction for ma NEW REleases – is my fall 2009 collections which can be last till your winter. you got to see them, i love each piece of them. they are completed now, left only shoes, boots – and as usual, is all mix and match items.
if you are boho chic – you just grab, put it on and walk out. there is no rules on how you combine and mix and match everything. is a free will and very individual. there is no right or wrong about it ….when you are bohemian.
so please stay tune for my fall collections ….love you allll….xd
my friend Ruy Bury is the man behind some cute funky and original animation maker. he made this pillow with stylist color and animation and gave it to me.
[2009/07/13 18:56] Ruy Bury: floaty pillows should be released tomorrow or so 😀
and i luv it straight away and never get tired of it. not only it is giving me a nice animation but nice colorfull pillows to sit on. this is only one sample i display, he made various other colors and animation too. previous to this release he made flowers same concept floatiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeee and animated.
i use this a lot when i need to be afk and stay around my shop.
check out some other AO ruy had put together. his AO are thematics and come with various funkiest prim to go along with it. they are cool, crazy and just fun to watch …..enjoy.
btw – if you want to see them, you can tp to my main shop, his shop is just right in the corner of my sister’s mall. or look up his profile, under his pick he has his main location in sl.
i don’t know what to say – but is really sad to loose him so soon. even i don’t know him personally i can feel the sadness he has been carying for all these years. his wonderful and beautiful heart can be felt and heard from all his music and songs. he touches everybody heart, reminds everyone of us – there are so many others who are less fortunate and who we are to tell the whole world that we are despair.
my dearest friend michael … you are tenderly missed by me. may GOD bless you always, may all the tears from all of us here who love you replace all the tears you have for all these years. we LOVE you michael …. you live forever in our heart.
this beautiful song of him with his 3 nephew …..”WHY?” …. why you leave so soon, Michael.
hugggg and kisses, me ….

GROUP GIFT:
am i a sophacolic in SL ….YES, i do, but i budget my self, especially since i have and run my own shop as well as rent other spot for my stores.
i rather save the money to buy tools, textures, gadgets and give a good price and good quality to my customers. MAYBE that is also the reason i keep telling myself not to get “open space” parcel for my mainshop. first, is not cheap for the tier and second, i am new still learning and i better be carefull with any financial commitment i have in Second Life.
this is my game, my fun and i can not be stress cause of this.
NOT only about land and tier …. but i have been cutting down a lot on my budget for shopping in SL. i try to shop smart and hunt good qualities freebies and dollarbies around. THANK YOU SO MUCH for “Fabulously Free in SL”.
They are incredible, creative and hard working to keep the group going and exchanging information around. check out their blog …that is like my second newspaper in my life. i check there everyday and if anything captured my eyes and taste i will go and grab it. You will find amazing freebies and dollarbies around the grid.
i have fun hunting and finding these good qualities freebies and dollarbies around. SO …i decided to blog them as well. I mix and match them with my other items that might be full price.
i am still working on arranging this blog look including the slurl for each designer as well as the poses i used. *grins* [ designer, content creator – forgive me for this]
so …have fun enjoy them and happy browsing. BTW this is the link

everyday, my shop keep my mind busy when i log in to SL. It is fun, exciting and very challenging at times. BUT i promise my self i will not get stressed out of it.
