Never mind, I just drop a quick email to Carlacraft in Singapore. See how long they take to respond. Singaporeans are extremely efficient. Haha!

Hmm…u sure about that? It would be strange if Thailand doesn’t have Carl stationaries. The common stationaries, they should have e.g. stapler, paper puncher.

Did your colleagues say anything? Very hard to imagine Bangkok not having it.

Joyce, oh, that’s the signature heart bread roll by Kaerenmama, a popular Japanese blogger. You spread the jam on the bread, then fold it in halves lightly so that you can see the vague line. Then, u open the bread again, and fold both ends to touch the vague line. And fold the bread in halves again. Mmm…I’m not sure if u know what I mean. LOL!
It’s like u do a 1/4 roll, both sides, then fold it into 1/2 roll.
You will need to wrap the bread roll in cling wrap for a while to hold the shape, and after a few minutes, you can cut it into smaller pieces.

Wena, thanks for the link. I think Carls dun distribute their punchers in Thailand, that’s why I haven’t found any here. Hopefully, I can find some when i fly back to malaysia next time. Gee…really dunno when will I go back! LOL!

Ah, forgot to tell you one thing. Going on 1 week break makes me forget things.

To find CARL punchers, you may have to go to art supply shops. In Kuching, I find most of the punchers in this art supplies shop and they havea lot of it. I just reused a lot of old ones that I had bought years ago when I was doing some Xmas cards (that in the end I didn’t do. >.< )

Stationary shops will not usually carry these items unless they are very big shops with a lot of products. Places like Parkson, Isetan may/may not have it.

Other way is to contact the Singapore HQ and ask them for contacts in Malaysia.

BTW, thanks for stopping by the site. LOL! The connection speed has vastly improved so it was possible to get to the website. Streamyx DNS servers having major issues a couple of months back.

Now having to get back into the swing of making bentos after 1 week off for Gawai. Not easy lah.

I kesian all the other mothers who will get a lot of request from their kids for Hello Kitty sandwiches as well. Haha! Still, it’s very nice

Have put in the vote. The registration process is very long. If nothing comes out of it, it was a fun journey.
