Fancy some reading?
Below are some of the new additions to our personal library. If you’re interested in borrowing, let us know 
From time to time I get people asking me to recommend some books on Design, Website Development and User Experience, so hopefully this list can be useful.
Printwork
“Printwork” showcases the intimate relationship between prints and publications or promotions design. Graphic designers are continually challenged to find new ways to lend impact and interest to their work. The special printing methods collected in “Print Work” are employed to great effect in book and product design in innovative and exciting ways. Colors, gloss, and texture all add visual and tactile appeal to products, packaging and print designs. “Look and feel” has never been more important to the success of a product or campaign. “Print Work” encourages designers to experiment with unusual printing methods and techniques and challenges them to think beyond the computer screen and into the dimension of the realm of the senses. Presenting actual techniques featured in the book inviting readers to touch each page, allowing them access to the haptic quality of the finished products.

Japan Day 2 – Mount Fuji Tour
The itenary for our second day in Japan was the Mount Fuji tour. We woke up feeling a lot better and quickly got ready. We had to be at the Grand Prince Hotel Akasaka by 8am to be picked up by the tour bus. We started the day with breakfast – bread at the hotel which we bought last night and coffee from Starbucks on the way to the meeting point. The girl at Starbucks was very nice, taught me a bit of Japanese language But hey, everyone in Japan seems nice.

Japan Day 1 – Tokyo
We arrived at Narita airport (Tokyo) feeling tired and dazed but excited. It was a rainy day, much like Sydney when we left. Everything went smoothly until the moment we wanted to validate the JR Pass – we forgot to bring it!!! somehow it accidentally got left behind at home. Aargh!

Let the holiday begin! Bye bye Sydney
Our flight to Singapore/Japan was scheduled to depart at 8.30am and we decided to go to the airport rather early so that we wouldn’t have to rush. It rained quite heavily that morning and we watched the storm clouds from the foodcourt window as we ate our breakfast (Raisin toast & coffee from Krispy Kreme – sad, i know).

Sorry for the delay.
This weekend is the much awaited Queen’s birthday long weekend. Unfortunately, with the petrol price being so expensive, we have not planned to do anything adventurous (ie. travelling) this time. I’m already feeling bored! Holidays are precious and should not be spent at home doing nothing (that’s what the weekends are for heheheh). So, I’ve decided to use this time to update our blog, especially about the Japan trip before I totally forget about it.
Yeah I know, we’ve been quite lazy and busy at the same time ever since we got back to Sydney. Plus the thought of updating this blog is overwhelming- there’s so much to write about that we keep on postponing it.
Last Saturday we went to see the Michael Buble concert with two of our friends at the Entertainment Center. It was good, but Michael Buble looked drunk. I don’t know whether it was part of his act or he’s simply like that. I was more thrilled about the opening act by Naturally 7. They’re awesome!!!
Then on Wednesday night we went to see Phantom of the Opera at Lyric Theatre (Starcity). I’ve been waiting for so long to see that musical and I am glad to have watched it. I read on SMH that Anthony Warlow and Ana Marina were sick the previous week, so they were replaced by their understudies. Luckily we were able to see them perform that evening.

On board the Singapore Airlines A380
On our recent trip to Japan we had the chance to fly the Singapore Airlines’ latest toy, the new Airbus A380 aircraft which is now fully operational serving Sydney-Singapore route. Personally this is one of the main reason we I really looked forward to the Japan trip. We’ve decided to write a post specifically about this and provide you with helpful tips.
