Being on the piñata roll, I continue to making a piñata lamp! Design Sponge is the most amazing place to find the coolest inspiration including this piñata lamp. Using the ikea round lamp as the base shape, I brought some bright colors paper and started jamming. I actually brought it into the army camp during my boring overnight camp duty and started on this project. I feel so proud after; the best use of time in the army.

So, It was Robyn birthday coming up and I wanted to surprise her. Jordan from Oh happy days has the coolest DIY ideas. I took her Golden Alligator Piñata and give it a little twist; with some colored paper and mesh wire to make a sunglass for our Asian Alligator! I am so proud of my work that I refused filled it with candies so Robyn can’t smashed it. I hope she still have it somewhere in her new place in NYC.
The instructions can be found here at Ohhappdays.

As I spent my afternoon trying to catch up on some reading, I overheard a conversation by 2 teen girls while they had their afternoon brunch. It made me think about some problems that I/we, being born and raised in a first world society, are currently facing.
1) Discipline
Honest question: Have you been on a diet? have you succeeded?
That is one of the most frustrating challenges we face. In undeveloped part of the world, people either do not have the money to buy these luxurious food or they are constantly working out “physically” to burn off the calories. No one complain that they are eating too much.
Losing weight is not a hard thing to do at all but the trick is discipline. Many times I remembered walking into the mall passing the basement food stalls and I became hungry all of a sudden. Many companies has spend millions of dollars hiring expert to sell you on stuff we do not need. With all the surplus in cash and ever enticing food; laid stalls by stalls in the shopping mall, it is hard not to be hungry.
This is just one example. The list goes on.. Trying to save up but we can’t stop shopping because of the Great Singapore Sale, wanting to learn a new craft or finish a project but “my friend’s birthday is today”, want to travel but money, family or whatever excuses you have is stoping you.
Next time when you are on a diet and you gave in to the piece of delicious cake. Ask yourself, why can’t you be slim and have that good body?
The small habit we cultivate in life that make the biggest different.
