Amour Chaleur

Thanks to everyone who voted for me at the WordPress Best Design Awards, your votes are very much appreciated. If you haven’t, please drop me a vote if you like Amour Chaleur’s design and help spread the word around (twittering, blogging about it, anything!). Every single vote would help to make my goal of opening my own e-shop closer as mentioned in my previous post.

I’ve been busy mugging¹ for my upcoming final UOL examinations so I wouldn’t be very active until the end of May but I’ll still be on twitter and flickr. Sorry if I haven’t been visiting for some time. I have huge plans for Amour Chaleur in June. I will be making a new layout and will try to “pull away” from the current style. I want a new break through in my layout designs! I also plan to revamp 60% of the content – higher quality and quantity (in regards to my visitors content). Hopefully, I will be able to finish it during the first 2 weeks of June before moving on to my client’s project and other side projects like my e-shop.

So, Chewy and I went to “explore” Iluma, the new shopping mall located at Bugis. If you have been following my twitter, you would have known that there were some small hiccups along the way. Nevertheless, we made it safe and sound home. The shopping mall is open but most of the shops aren’t, thus if you plan on going, wait till June when most of the shops would be open. The cinema and the arcade fills up the entire top floor and there is this “secret” rooftop area. It overlooks Bugis and the entrance is hidden inside the arcade so do remember to check it out when you are there. But some people take it as a smoking area and it totally spoils the view. I meant with a wonderful view but the air is filled with cigarette smoke.

I’m mentally exhausted so I’ll let the photos do the talking again today. They are cross posted from my flickr so you can click on them to view the full size photo from my flick account.

I’ll love you eternally if you could vote for me at WP Best Design Award and help spread the word around (twittering, blogging about it, anything!). Your votes would be greatly appreciated. If I really manage to win this, I will be using the funds to start up the e-shop which I’ve been talking about on my twitter for the past few weeks. It would be an “all-in-one” shop with illustrations, cartoons, layouts, themes for sale and I plan to have customised tees, mugs and accessories using my own illustrations as well. We shall not be limited and restricted by our creativity, right? I wish to use my own funds instead of borrowing from my family (specifically my mum and sissy) this time so it would be really nice of you to drop me a vote and help fulfil my dream of opening my very own Amour Chaleur e-shop!

Okay back to my normal blog post now. Chewy and I went to check out the new shopping mall, Tampines 1 a few days back. It was extremely packed and we had a hard time finding the carpark. I felt giddy just walking around as tons of people flew past me. Yes, they literally flew pass me ignoring any obstacles that were in front of them. So I tend to “ouch, that hurts” quite often as people kept bumping into me.

I tweet about going Queensway Ikea with Chewy this afternoon. We kind of got lost while getting home from Marina (we went there after leaving Ikea). Before I let the photos do the talking, this is the cake I baked with Mum 2 days ago. It looks too red in the photo, it’s actually more towards a golden yellow.
