Great friends are priceless



Friends, they make all the difference in this world. When you are down and out and feeling like you are walking through the deepest darkest valley of your life, these are the people who help to shine some light on the path ahead with their encouragement and support. That light might not exactly be the one at the end of the tunnel, but it is all you need to keep you going. Some of you know that I had did not clear my final year thesis for the second time. It was a little hard to swallow the reality of it when I saw my results slip. I was discouraged, disappointed and frankly, just really tired. A dear friend helped put together the above video to encourage me and remind me that there were people around me who believed in me and are supporting me through it all. To Meiqi and all who took time to record down your encouragements, and the rest of you who encouraged me in your own little ways, I am thankful and encouraged. Thanks for the love shown. :)

Ice cream never looked so cool


If I were ever to open an ice cream shop, I wouldn't mind a bit if it looked like this. Isn't that just beautiful? The Rono Ice Cream Store is designed by Hiroyuki Miyake, a Japanese designer whose firm is named after him. Born in 1975, Miyake graduated in 1997 from the Osaka University of Arts, department of interior design. After working for Takara Space Design Corp., he spent two years in UK learning English before starting his own firm in 2005. Besides doing interiors, Miyake has also designed some rather interesting furniture. Find out more at hiroyuki miyake. More pics after the break.
