Back in action after a long hiatus.

Have been posted into the Borneo rainforest so SWAP-BOT keep me in touch with my creative side, as well as crafters the world over. I am looking forward to packages from my partners & would really appreciate it if you could tell me a little about yourself too. Am apologising in advance as the mail services can be quite erratic here and your packages might sit around in the post office for some time, hence the delay!

Am a physician by day, by nite I let the creative juices flow. My passion includes travel and collecting ethnic craft. Also appreciate hand-made stuff as they are a labour of love.

If the packaging your swap comes in looks vaguely familiar, it's because its recycled!

World music - Am currently listening to Brazilian accoustic guitars, but included in my play list are the Mongolian throat singers Hu Hu Thur & Tuku 'Kame from Borneo!

Eat, pray, love! Shantaram - half way thru it! Anything Paulo Coelho.

Movie of the century - Shawshank Redemption!

Hardly watch TV. Would rather go to the movies anytime!

Paper craft, photography. Also do crosstich.

1. Aquamarine, turqouise, forest green & magenta!
2. Homemade jewellery especially earrings and necklaces. I do not wear much rings or bracelets as my work requires me to be around kids and babies.
3. Japanese fabrics, prints and all thing kawaii. Love those little kimono dolls.
4. Lip gloss especially those in dessert flavours. The yummier, the better.
5. Little purses and bags, especially in retro prints to store all my stuff cause they easily get loss in my XXL handbag.
6. Beautiful paper - love those Japanese origami prints.
7. Clips, barettes, hairbands. Have been trying to grow my hair long but have never been patient enough. Plus it's so freaking hot here!
8. Gypsy skirts & happy pants. Have tons of those which I pick up during my travels.
9. Socks - hidden socks, toesies & socklets (the ones you wear with your pumps).
10. Hats. It's not really Malaysian culture to wear hats but you will see me in my lime green one or a fisherman's whenever I am out and about!
11. Scarf/ wraps/ shrugs. I try to collect one from every country I travel to. Sometimes I end up buying more than 1! I love those winter skinnies but its so non-sensical to wear it here, so I have to wait till I go visit my sis in the Land Down Under!
12. Diving in the deep blue. Would really love to dive Palau & Yak!
13. Travel. It's the journey, not the arrival that matters ~ TS Elliot
14. Chillin with a good read in my hammock.
15. Food - Italian, Thai and North Indian. See a trend? Spices!
16. Vintage stuff. Adore tin toys.
17. Nonsense nick nacks!
