IMG_8257

Instead of making those tabs / indexes as
(i) number
(ii) alphabet
(iii) month


IMG_8258

I make the little indexes to be fun to read
and alert / remind me to

* Do first things first *
* Aim Higher *
* Lighten Up *
* Love *
* Play *
* Happiness *
* Remember *
* Organised *
* Calm *
* Make time *

a positive affinity

.



IMG_8633

I have a huge obsession in book binding.
Never bored to sew and bind them from pieces to piece.
Every piece of journal is one-of-a-kind.
I have another one which still on my work desk.
Squeeze little time to complete it with no hurry.
Just because of ... P A S S I O N.

Agit in Seoul

IMG_8586
Make a lots of reading and surfing.

Bought a travel book, Agit in Seoul at Kinokuniya bookstore (the pink one).
It's about 1.5 inch thick.
What excites me about this book was not only it's full of tons information about zakka store / restaurant / interesting places in Seoul. There was random pages which was painted beautifully.

Look at these pages
