Toumaline tears $25

I have been saving this strand of tear-drop faceted Toumaline until today... it is the most expensive strand I have bought so far. They looked so sparkling when held against the sunlight. I can't bear it to cut the strand. Yesterday I finally did...

Looked like black in colour... (parts in 925 Sterling Silver)

Actually, they are four tear-drops of different colours (from left): green, smoky black, olive and garnet red... Amazing!

The Bear-Cat Story

One day, I was sourcing for a pair of panda coin banks for a friend's birthday.

I saw some animal coin banks on displayed in a gift shop in J8 and stepped in.

In less than 3 minutes, I was approached by a friendly young sales girl of around 18 years of age, who asked me if she could help.

This is how the Panda story goes:

Me: “请问这个有没有熊猫的？”

She: “熊猫是不是teddy bear？”

Me, trying to control my smile/frown: “熊猫是panda，teddy bear是狗熊。”

She: “Oh, 那里有熊猫的。。。”

Following her instructions, I walked into the shop. What I saw was toy cats on display, no sign of panda. I concluded that she must have thought panda is cat. I could only thank her, said it's ok, that's not what I am looking for and walked out of the shop.

So, panda is a cat or bear?

Well, at least in layman's term, panda is a black and white "bear" but surely, quite different from a "teddy" bear.

In June, Benefit, a cosmetics line from San Francisco came to Singapore.

Saw this the Benefit's website:

It's just so,...my kind of jokes.
