My Studio at Newtown in Geelong, Victoria

Hi All,

Thank you so much for coming back to my blog, your support has been keeping me going a long way in this journey :)

Eng and I have finally get our studio up in operation for BINGKAI and ChingTeoh. BINGKAI is now officially open for business! And, good news is we have had our first orders came in and completed ! Guess what ..  it then follows with a few more orders. We are delighted ! And we feel grateful to have friends and family who have been supporting us and making all this happened.

In this building and setting up of studio, we have reclaimed loads of scraped wood, scrapped metals and pallets. We made them into furnitures and also signs. I have enjoyed hand painting the signs for BINGKAI. haa.. that has kept me away from my usual painting for a while ..

Hi All,

We are in our last two weeks of 2012 ... time has been passing like just a blink of eye.  But I have my 2012 lived to the fullest, we moved to Australia in February, and we lived in Canberra for 6 months, then moved to Geelong this vibrant beautiful coastal city and now setting up our new framing & art studio at Newtown. Also, I manage to run Geelong Run, completed the 10 weeks cooking course at Jamie Oliver's Ministry of Food, Geelong, I worked with By Friday, Kresta Blinds and now Duckfat.com.au .. oh yeah before I forget to mention this, I just joint duckfat.com.au, an amazing company who creates and sells amazing home decor items, take some time to head over to their website at duckfat.com.au or you could also visit their facebook here.

Regarding our fit-out in the studios in Boom Studios at 21 Rutland Street, Newtown, things are going pretty good, although there are still loads to be done, but we are having fun! And we are thrilled with what we have accomplished. Haa.. pretty proud.

And, in the new year, we will be off for two weeks to visit our family in Malaysia. I couldn't wait to have the first time to step back home after leaving for one year, the first time in my life that I have one whole year to be away from home.

Hope everyone has a good Christmas and a Joyful New Year !

Our best wishes from Geelong, Victoria, Australia.
