I haven’t been blogging for a month now! The start of InCoWriMo coincided with the Chinese New Year festive season, and for me, it was followed by a week-long business trip, countless meetings, piled up work which I needed to clear even during my evenings (even nights), the extraction of 4 teeth to prepare for braces, and a lot of accumulated fatigue. And I thought I was busy enough during the second half of last year! Seems like life is going to get more and more hectic from now… When life gets busy and you need time out, no better time-out can arrive in the form of awesome fountain pens. I received 2 fountain pens sponsored by Manu Propria ~ Angular Momentum of Switzerland upon returning from my business trip, and oh did I spend a long time admiring them! I intend to make a review of these pens as well as put one of them up for a giveaway, for my website has reached a milestone of 100,000 views! In fact, it has exceeded 100K and now it stands at around 105K views, which is making me exhilarated. Watch out for details on how you can win one […]

Edit: as the previous winner of the Wine Journal did not reply to my email, I have picked a new winner! So… *drumroll* Congratulations to Aditya M. Alan Portman for winning the Daycraft Signature Wine Journal! I have sent you an email regarding the details of how you can get it. Please let me know your mailing address and which comment on that post was yours, so that I can verify that the entry is valid. If I receive no reply by 5 August 2012, or if your entry is invalid, I will pick a new winner. ~~~ Now regarding the “other things” part… I have been super busy lately. Most of my evenings after work were either spent outside or at home helping around. Work hasn’t been too pleasant, generally. On the other hand, there was a full-day team building event by the department yesterday, which was a little tiring but fun. Another team building will be held overseas in August, this time involving the rest of the department. We’ll see if that improves things or not! Regrettably I have totally missed out publishing Fortnightly Inkings that was due last week. I’ll publish it really soon, I promise! MaybellineI am […]

To celebrate my very first sponsorship and the fact that my blog’s pageviews has exceeded its very first 10,000 views, I have decided to do my very first review and giveaway! I was quite surprised, upon returning from a busy weekend, to find that my blog has already hit 10,000 pageviews – earlier than I had expected! Reaching a five-digit number of pageviews for me is a milestone: it means that I have managed to persist in staying on the same blog for a substantial amount of time (almost 1 year, I think!), and it also means that my blog has reached out to a number of people (I hope)! Today’s review will consist of two parts, each respectively dedicated to Daycraft’s MyTravel Notebook and Signature Wine Journal. Thanks to Daycraft, I am now able to do my first official review (and giveaway) of notebooks! My previous notebook reviews have been not so detailed so I hope this review will be better than the old ones. These two notebooks are newly launched series by Daycraft. At the time of writing, I am not sure that their distributor in Singapore has imported these notebooks yet. Which means there is a high […]
