- The Path you Choose Will Be Your Destiny -
How should I put it...Okay Sine is my latest fad...really...well she seems to be looking at you from the bottom left of this page as you are reading...don't worry she's pretty harmless with that pin ridden apple...Please go check out www.littleappledolls.com for more information on Sine and her friends. The story sort of started yesterday before I was going for my Japanese class which usually starts around 18.30 hours.
Here it is...I actaully went down to China Sq to check out the former Clark Quay toy shops before going for my Japanese class and while browsing thru the last shop, there was actually 2 rows of 3 big white boxes calling out to me as I stood there looking at other toys...Really it was just there right in front of my face calling out to me...then I sort of realise that there is this gothic looking doll staring at me through the little plastic hole in the box...yes yes it's freaky and I must confess, dolls really freak me out especially those big porcelain dolls with glass eyes...it's really freaky as I always marvel at the element called eyes which I think are the window to our souls and so these dolls...their eyes have so much to tell so each and everyone of them seems like calling out to me to attract my attention and trying so hard to tell me their stories...sad but freaky...well that's me as I really am facinated by eyes...dolls, animals, people...
Okay sorry for straying the topic again but just have the urge to share a little more about the dolls thingy...so I felt that there is this particular set of dark eyes staring at me...oh well, I looked down and stretched out my arms to carry the box up and the moment I open the front flap, "Viola"! The look in the eyes, the pure white cloth that drape her body...I was just lost for words as I stood there with words running in my mind..."I've got to buy this doll at whatever cost!!!" Somehow the ghastly look did not freak me out but rather it protrayed a innocent looking child with a really sad past to tell and it was just there at that instance that I felt that I really wanted to know what happen or who the master craftman who could depic such sorrow through a face with hollowed eyes...I just badly wanted to know...It was really love at first sight...till now I am still trying to get over it...gee...and the next thing is to call my friend, Darien who sell toys...and to my surprise he was actually the 1st one to actually bring these dolls in...and to him it was like "hey man, these have been like in for almost 2 months ago? What's with the slow info?" Haha I guess I can be slow at times but thank God I wasn't too slow to actually missed it...so after checkin with him, I decided to get it from him instead ( friend mah so must support hor! ) but so Darien claims that everyone wants the white doll which is actually part of a set of 3 and that he can only break up the set just to let me have the white one...(now that's why I say must support him! cheers Darien)...and slowly I learnt that the white doll has a really sweet name, Sine was her name...and her other 2 friends are Umbrae (dressed in red drapes) and Circe (dressed in gothic black) and a juicy red apple named "Little Apple Red" and so the story goes...
Called up Evelyn to check the webbie for more information on these dolls and to my surprise, she too actually fell for Sine after experiencing her twisted charm. A second check with Darien revealed that he cannot break anymore sets so I had to go back to the shop which I found Sine earlier to buy it for her...
There you go...how I first met Sine, the ultimate doll that captured my heart there at that very instance...and Series 2 of these sweet little apple dolls are on the way...
