A show that tells you more about Singapore

One of my friend shared this video on facebook and I enjoyed it. I am sure you will learn more about Singapore (The place i am living) from this. This is a Australia programme featuring 2 rebellious teenagers having sent to Singapore to learn to be good.

Living in Singapore is stressful, all parents want the best out of their children. Since the day I am born, my parents wants me to be good with my academics, respectful to the elderly and find a good & stable job. This applies to tmy another classmates too, some of them got canning and scolding for not getting full marks in their test, I really pity them.

My parents weren't so strict like the parents in this video (such parents existed). They saved money to send us (me and my siblings) to tution centers for extra coaching on different school subjects. I am say that I have let them down, my results weren't good at all. My interests are arts and design, I am really thankful that they supported my decision =)

In these videos (part 1 & 2), you can see that most of us (Singaporean) live in high rise buildings. A family of 4 to 5 will live together in a department unit. Singapore is a small country, land is scarce hence housings are built higher and higher, the higher it is, the more pricey it gets.

In our department, we have a living room, a kitchen, 2 toilets, a master bed room, 2 child's room and a store room. The house is small but we are happy with the family. Sometimes, I really envy some of my overseas friends for having a big studio (I wanted a bear making room and computer room) and some even have farms! (I love animals, cows, horses, sheeps etc).

Friends, I hope that you would enjoy these videos, do share with us some of your thoughts after watching this, we would love to hear your comments =)

Crushed Garnet for sale!

Lately, I have acquired a large stock of beautiful gemstones, crushed garnets. (They are really pretty and sparkles under light!) These could be used to fill your teddy creations to make them heavier. Crushed garnets are much heavier than the glass beads that I have been using in the past and they give your teddies a more cuddly feel!

Do you know that Garnet is the January birthstone, derived its name from the Latin word granatus? It is also also known for stimulating success in business, helps to cure depression, a stone of purity and truth as well as a symbol of love and compassion. You may also use these for for scrap booking or as a decorative item.
Crushed Garnet will be available on my website and etsy shop.






They will be sold in a pack of 500grams (1.1pound) at 14USD, payment will be made via paypal

For International Buyers, kindly send me an email: waynestonbears@yahoo.com.sg for shipping cost and I will send you a paypal invoice to your email.

For Singaporean Buyers, 500 grams of the crushed garnets will be SGD $18 plus FREE SHIPPING!
Or, you may purchase directly from these links:

1) Etsy

2) Website

I have started using these crush garnets on my latest bunny, Kira and I love the feeling! She feels much heavier and gives a nice crunchy feel. Feel free to email me on any matters regarding my bears/creations or the crush garnets. I am a friendly guy, I don't bite! Hahaha... in fact I am a talkative guy =)

Going off to bed now, good night peeps!

Feeding time for Baby Lavigne ^.^

Cute little Lavigne is now 8 months old, still teethless but she is now able to enjoy some good food! My mum cooks porridge for her yesterday and I had my first attempt feeding her.

I added some hot water onto the porridge to make it more watery then i blow to make the porridge on the spoon cools down before i fed her. She is so active, I have to use my legs to stop the baby walker from moving then trying my best to aim for her mouth LOL.

As she keeps moving while enjoying the good food, I did missed a few times for the spoon to enter her mouth - hence as a result she becomes a female santa... HOHOHO...

She is such a good girl, she finishes a bowl of porridge and wanted more. Feeding her is so much fun, I look forward her next visit to our house again.

Kira is the new bunny that  have been working on this week and she is completed today.
She wears a handmade dress and is ready to go shopping and out for high tea! =)
She is made of pink mohair, horsetail whiskers sewn ont her cheeks and a pair of ears with wire armature which allows her to pose. She is filled with polyfill and crushed garnets for soft, cuddly and weighted feel.
