Skyler & his invisible crowns


Meet Skyler, a man of talent :)

I first met Skyler (a Taiwanese) on my flight back from Taiwan. This is the first time I actually stay in touch with someone I have spoken to on the plane. It isn't really my kinda thing to start talking to strangers onboard the planes. Both of us were travelling alone, and somehow it was easy to start a conversation since we aren't at all arrogant ;)

We shared our love for travels, my thoughts about Taiwan and some pretty pictures during the 4 hours flight, of course, not the whole time... We sure needed our naps. Before we landed, he passed me his bookmark which was designed for his previous exhibition I believed. I learnt that he's an artist and would be having an exhibition here in Singapore too. So he told me the date and invited me... it was 3 days ago. His works are amazingly imaginative and I really will like to buy one of his paintings someday. I wish I could paint like him!

If you're keen to visit a nice art gallery to find something to hang on your empty wall, why not pay a visit?

All the way from France

A sneak preview for those whom are interested in Christian Lacroix (Shhhhsh..)

YES IT IS IN SINGAPORE. I highly recommend to do it with their guided tour, which comes free if you purchase the admission ticket. Those of you into fashion (with a BIG passion), you'll enjoy it! Look at the little details and thoughts Lacroix has put into design the costumes, and me being me, I love his use of super bold colors. BRIGHT please. And his use of lace and pokka dots... and the reasons behind them. Very clever. For more details of this event which is currently at National Museum of Singapore, visit the website and look under special Exhibitions. It's on from now till 7 June 2009.

I shall now lead you to excessive fashion overload with Christian Lacroix's site.
