themannequeen is in the process of refining its business directions and we are looking into selling lifestyle items! It’s sorta dream come true for me. Excited! Swamped with reworking the backend web stuff right now.
We will be selling gift and home & decor items like clocks, mugs, cups, mousepads etc etc that we source from all over the world!

Am going to Guangzhou 2 weeks later and am contemplating if I should do a quick flyover to Shanghai to visit the World Expo.
Look at the pavilions man! My oh my! Isn’t it a pity to miss a chance like this considering that this is the biggest World Expo in history! But time and money are the reasons holding me back. I only have 4 full days in GZ and I’ve work to do. Boo.
Let’s take visual tour now..
1) UK Pavilion
2) Danish Pavilion
3) Swiss Pavilion
4) French Pavilion
5) German Pavilion
6) Spanish Pavilion
And not forgetting the Singapore Pavilion:

Anyways, it’s simply heaven for all who love design/architecture/interior etc etc. 189 of the world’s 196 nations are represented at this Expo! It’s the world at your footstep!
Mmmmmm, should I or should I not.

Who doesn’t love some simple and uncluttered desktop wallpapers?
Simple Desktops is a collection of minimal distraction desktop wallpapers curated by Tom Watson.
