Cute souvenir

We met up with some friends for dinner tonight, and one of them brought a souvenir from Hong Kong to pass to another friend.



It is in the shape of a pig, but it is so cute! Especially when you throw it on a hard surface, it gets flattened and will slowly return back to its original form. I couldn't get enough of it and kept throwing it around to experiment and watch it bounce back to shape.



Haven't seen anything like it in KL yet, but am sure this item will find its way into KL soon. Will definitely get myself one of these. It's a good way to reduce stress..



Hope you can see the photos and how cute the item is, you may need to use your imagination a bit as some of the photos are not as clear. It wasn't easy to capture the flattened shots as the flattened item bounces back almost immediately.



If you find the item in KL, let me know yeah?

Love this art!

Ever heard from "Shui Jing Nei Hua" (Literally translation means Drawing Pictures Inside the Crystal)? Well, It is truly an art in itself, and one that I appreciate and enjoy so much!
I made the discovery during my Jan 08 trip to China, and it was in Nanjing that we saw this form of art. It takes tremendous amount of accuracy and perfect timing, coupled with stable hands and artistic imagination to complete every piece of artwork. I am truly amazed and fascinated by it, and I can stay there and watch the sifu at work the whole day. Unfortunately, because we are on tour so we could only stay a while, but I took quite a fwe photos of the crystal. You will surely be impressed by it.
Here are some of the photos of the crystal:

Notice the detailed artwork? Amazing isn't it?

In the form of teapot

I love them...!
