A hesitant foray into KPOP

Hello there!


This awesome pen was a present from my friend Joey who got back from Hong Kong recently. ITS EYES BULGE WHEN YOU SQUEEZE IT. I'm relatively sure I spent roughly 15 minutes laughing loudly to myself in public and not caring at all.

It was also her birthday so Judith and I sat around brainstorming ideas for a card.
You can see the awesome front cover on Judith's blog - BRILLIANT idea on her behalf!
It was also Judith's idea to make a comic for her, where our group of friends were all, hypothetically, KPOP stars.

I am not a fan of KPOP.

So Judith, being the good friend that she is, took it upon herself to introduce me to the many wonders of the Korean pop world. It was a wholesome experience it was traumatising.

So anyway, the comic was pretty enjoyable to make, I suppose poking fun at your friends (subtly, or in some cases not so much so) is always going to be fun. I didn't take anything of the completed comic, but Judith did. Have some random snapshots y'all.

 I made a mistake, oops.


Haha, anyway.
Another friend came back from Indonesia and I got these awesome little bookmarks.


Guess what, 2 for the price of 1.


How convenient. I actually bought a book the other day and was in dire need of a bookmark!


Is it just me, or does anybody else hate those weird glossy covers they put on books? They feel kind of tacky and unwieldy to me, I always end up taking them off. The gold embossing on the actual cover is so much nicer.
Stephen King is one of my favourite authors, I fall in love with suspense novels.

The other gift I received was an interesting shadow puppet. It comes with a story!


I love things like this. I don't know how to explain it, but it feels like I'm holding some part of Indonesia's cultural heritage in my hand. Does that make any sense? Kind of?

I'm off to do some reading now.
