Introducing AHW Studio's Creations From Sydney

While at The Rocks recently, it was packing-up time and I missed the chance to browse but managed to jot down the web site of AHW Studio.

Here are some pix of their creations from www.ahwstudio.com to pique your interest.

The following blurb is as extracted from their web site:-

"Based at the popular Rocks Markets in Sydney, AHW Studio has been designing, making and selling hand-crafted jewellery for over 5 years, each piece a unique combination of old elegance and modern detail. 

Using classic watch parts, vintage novelties and industrial fragments, we believe it is imperative to salvage everything possible to recycle, reinterpret and re-create what some may see as old junk and obsolete objects, into beautiful, wearable jewellery."

Be refreshed, stay inspired and have a nice day!

Table Tennis Is Gritty and Smashing

Just when you thought table tennis is not a sports or that it is akin to taking a stroll in the park, the following YouTube clip would change your mind. Try verifying the number of smashes and retrievals.

And, get inspired by Ibrahim Hamato as he shows that with hard work you could achieve success -- he has qualified for the Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

Sydney Harbour Bridge (February 2016)

Sydney Harbour Bridge is everything I had imagined it to be from postcards, magazines and documentaries.

However, the novelty of seeing it for real is unbeatable. Its enormous size is simply breathtaking and awe-inspiring. Just hop on a ferry from Darling Harbour to Circular Quay and you would be rewarded with a magnificent view of Sydney Harbour Bridge. 

You could walk across the bridge for free, or even climb it for AUD 280.00 over 3 plus hours and join the likes of Bill Gates and Usain Bolt who had scaled it.

Hold your mobile or camera tightly though when taking photographs as the wind could be gusty whether on the ferry or Bridge.

Here are some pictures of the Bridge (including Sydney Opera House and Queen Elizabeth cruise ship) and views from the Bridge for your refreshing:

Sydney Fish Market (February 2016)

Ever since seeing the picture of fresh sashimi salmon from Sydney Fish Market in a travel magazine, I had been enthused.

Yes, I had my opportunity there lately to select a sizeable slab of salmon which was sliced on the spot and enjoyed with a concoction of soya sauce and wasabi. It was clearly the best sashimi salmon that I had ever had. 

Other popular seafood fare are notably: rock oysters (served on a platter with a sliced of lemon and gotta get your own Tabasco sauce -- borrow or buy, but please don't steal!), lobsters, prawns, crabs and sushi. For items which have not been pre-cooked, you could take your pick of the sea harvest and have them cooked wok-styled. The prices are per kg, but you could, of course, buy in smaller portions.

Here are some pictures for your refreshing:

For Your Inspiration (FYI)

The following quote from Dr Wayne Dyer is for your reflection and refreshing:-

"Take the last five minutes of your day and put your attention on everything that you would like to attract into your life:

'I am well. I am healed. I am in perfect health. I am abundant. I am happy.' 

Say those things to yourself. Then you'll marinate for eight hours and you'll awaken and you'll begin to attract the things that are in your subconscious mind."

For a definitive guide on How To Use The Law Of Attraction, you may wish to delve into the following post at WikiHow http://www.wikihow.com/Use-the-Law-of-Attraction

According to Dr Robert Holden, "You'll discover that everything you want can be yours when you align how you feel about yourself with what you hope to attract in your life."

Here's a parting reality-check from Dr Dyer: "Simply put, you believe that things or people make you unhappy, but this is not accurate. You make yourself unhappy."

And, you know what .. FYI, U Rock! Feel Good and Rock On!!

Kinetic Rain by ART+COM

You may soak in Kinetic Rain at Changi International Airport Terminal 1, Singapore, and not get wet.

Truth be told, this art installation by ART+COM "weighs 24 tonnes in total, and consists of 1,216 motors, each animating a single copper-coated droplet, spread in two fields. The custom software enables precise and synchronised movement across the whole space, respecting the maximum acceleration and speed limitations of the hardware."
