2011

It's already one week into the new year... this is going to be another ultra short entry because I'm running on 3 hours of sleep at the moment. Feeling quite drowsy... and it's another 6:30am start tomorrow T T What kinda start to a new year is this!!

From Week 1-4, 2011
So recently, icie and I went to this cafe in Strathfield.

From Week 1-4, 2011
What's so special about this cafe? Seriously, people keep coming up with such quirky blends of shops. This is a stationery shop/ cafe.

From Week 1-4, 2011
It used to be a pizza shop, but it wasn't doing very well, so now it's revamped to a new cute Korean cafe shop called "MySweet Memory". Without the space in between. Its really well decorated interior included a giant snow bear sitting on a swinging bamboo chair with a postman bag, smaller snow bears around it, and a really personal and unique stationery section at the back of the cafe.

From Week 1-4, 2011
Some of the stuff are hand made, they had a section for polaroid cameras and some pictures that they took, gift cards, toys... heaps of stuff =)

From Week 1-4, 2011

From Week 1-4, 2011
Iced chai latte. Ok, so the drinks are normal cafe price, ie, expensive, but we had an hour to waste (icie was waiting for madara, I was waiting for my friends)...

From Week 1-4, 2011
My brother had some waffles with his hot chocolate.

We bought some pop up cards made by Korean photographer, Sonya. They were really beautifully made, with 5 different designs to choose from. She took the photos at 5 different times of the day to depict the changing sky.

From Week 1-4, 2011
Icie bought the sunset one, titled "19:25PM" because of the colour contrast.

I got the sunrise one!
From Week 1-4, 2011
"05:35AM". I love how it gradually steps up from a normal daily scenery to an open door with... fishies! =D

.... Then we drew on it with ps. 

From Week 1-4, 2011
Yea yea, it's a repeat from the first image, but the cards are just so well made... I'm keeping mine =P

Happy new year!! Go find and open those doors to fishies and flowers in your life this year too! =D

Stationery + cafe... Odd mix yeah. Is the intention for people to go in and buy stationery and sit in the cafe to write letters/cards?

Hehh... I never thought of it that way, but it's possible. Not many people were going to the stationery section, which was really sad cos they have heaps of really unique stuff there...

concept-wise, it's cool, but because the stationery section took up quite a large space inside, there were very few tables inside to sit at, so mostly people sat outside.

Was going to ask you what's been up since you've been silent (blog-wise) for awhile!

Take care!
