LACING in style

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets 2. The laces then go straight up and are fed into the next set of eyelets up the shoe 3. The ends are crossed over and are fed under the vertical lace section on the opposite sides of the shoe before going straight up and into the next set of eyelets up the shoe 4. At the top set of eyelets, the laces can once again cross over and pass under the straight section as shown. This not only looks consistent with the rest of the lacing but also forms a High Lace Lock, which tightens the lacing even more firmly.

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets 2. The ends are looped back under the lace where it feeds under the side of the shoe 3. The ends are then crossed over each other, then they go under and out through the next set of eyelets up the shoe 4. Steps 2 and 3 are repeated until both ends reach the top eyelets.

1. The lace runs straight across the second set of eyelets from the top of the shoe 2. Cross the ends over and feed into the fourth set of eyelets, skipping the third set 3. Continue down the shoe, two sets of eyelets at a time 4. At the bottom, run the laces vertically between the bottom and second from bottom eyelets 5. Double back and work your way back up the shoe through the vacant sets of eyelets.

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets 2. The left (red) end is spiralled up the left side of the shoe, with the end fed under and emerging from each eyelet 3. The right (orange) lace is spiralled up the right side of the shoe, at each eyelet looping through the left (blue) lace in the middle of the shoe before feeding under and emerging from the next eyelet.

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets 2. One end of the lace (orange end) runs straight up the right side, is fed into and runs straight across the second set of eyelets 3. Both ends now run straight up the left side, each skipping one eyelet before feeding in two eyelets higher up 4. Continue running both ends across the shoe, then straight up two eyelets at a time 5. At the top of the shoe, the laces end up on the same side and the shoelace knot is tied at that point.

1. The lace runs straight across the bottom and the ends are fed into both bottom eyelets 2. One end of the lace (orange end) runs straight up the right side, emerges from and runs straight across the second set of eyelets 3. The other end (red end) runs diagonally underneath and, skipping the 2nd set of eyelets, emerges from and runs straight across the 3rd set of eyelets 4. Continue running each lace diagonally across and up 2 sets of eyelets until one end (orange in my example) reaches the top right eyelet 5. The other end (red in my example) then runs straight up the left side to emerge from the top left eyelet.

1. The lace runs straight across and emerges from the third set of eyelets from the bottom 2. Both ends run straight down and are fed into the second set of eyelets from the bottom 3. Both ends again run straight down and emerge from the bottom set of eyelets 4. Both ends now run straight up along the outside and are fed into the fourth set of eyelets (the first vacant pair) 5. The ends are crossed over each other, then they go under and out through the next set of eyelets up the shoe 6. Repeat step (5) until both ends reach the top.

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom and is fed into rather than emerging from both bottom eyelets 2. The ends are crossed over, then inserted into the next set of eyelets up the shoe 3. This process is repeated until both ends reach the top eyelets and end up inside.

1. The lace runs straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets 2. Skipping two sets of eyelets, cross the ends over and feed into the fourth set of eyelets 3. Both ends now run straight down one eyelet and emerge from the third set of eyelets 4. Continue up the shoe, each time crossing over and going up three sets of eyelets, then straight down to emerge from the next set of eyelets below.

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets 2. The ends are twisted together with one complete twist in the middle of the shoe 3. The ends then continue across to the opposite sides, where they go under and out through the next set of eyelets up the shoe 4. This process is repeated until both ends reach the top eyelets.

1. The lace runs straight across the bottom and emerges from both bottom eyelets 2. Cross the ends over and feed into the 4th set of eyelets up the shoe (skip past 2 sets of eyelets) 3. Both ends now run straight up and emerge from the 5th set of eyelets 4. Cross the ends over and feed into the 2nd set of eyelets up the shoe (skip past 2 sets of eyelets) 5. Both ends now run straight up and emerge from the 3rd set of eyelets 6. Cross the ends over, feed under and emerge from the top set of eyelets (skip past 2 sets of eyelets).

1. The lace is run diagonally and emerges from the bottom left and the top right eyelets 2. The top (red) end of the lace is zig-zagged from the top set of eyelets down to the middle eyelets in a similar manner to the Shoe Shop Lacing 3. The bottom (orange) end of the lace is similarly zig-zagged from the bottom set of eyelets up to the middle eyelets.

Farmstay at D'Kranji Farm Resort (Lim Chua Kang)

It has sleek wooden flooring and stylish Balinese furnishings. Its open-air bathroom opens up to a small, tranquil garden. It even has its own pebbled driveway that comes with an automated gate.
This resort villa is not in popular Bali or Phuket, but right here in rural Kranji. It is one of 19 farmstay villas that is open at the new D'Kranji Farm Resort in Lim Chu Kang. Developed at a cost of $10 million, the 5ha lifestyle-cum-agriculture resort (about the size of six football fields) will also feature a wellness spa, seafood restaurant, beer garden, fruit plantation, herb garden and a coffee museum.

Each air-conditioned 21 sq m villa (nearly the size of a one-room flat) comes with a double bed, bathroom and balcony. Modelled on the rooms of a five-star hotel, they also offer room service, housekeeping and wireless Internet connection.

Although admission to D'Kranji is free, the villas won't come cheap. LifeStyle understands that each room could cost at least $200 a night.
At D'Kranji, visitors can go on free educational tours to learn about the agriculture products at the farm, which will incorporate a herb garden with over 30 types of herbs such as basil, sage and lemon balm. Its 21 farming plots will offer crops such as dragon fruit, corn, guava and mango- steen for sale.

The resort will provide a free shuttle service every 45 minutes from Yew Tee MRT station, in addition to the existing hourly shuttle service from Kranji MRT station to Lim Chu Kang from 9am to 5pm, provided by Kranji Countryside Association. A round trip costs $2 for adults and $1 for children.

Its soooooo Disney...... Halal Disney restaurant at Anchorpoint (opp Ikea Alexandra) !!!!
A disney-themed restaurant and what a rare find it was! According to the staff, this is the first disney-themed eatery outside of disneyland! Given how commercially successful disney is, that is certainly a surprise.of course, everything here is decked out in the full flavors of disney from the life-sized statues of mickey, donald and goofy greet visitors at the entrance of this 1,400 square foot restaurant.
Wash your hands at the giant mickey's hand wash basin before dining! All the chairs here are baby blue and shaped like mickey's head. Soooo cute!!!

The mickey-shaped things here are not limited to just to the chairs...the prizzas are all in the shape of the mickey's head !!!! 6 different kinds of pizza dominatethe rather small menu.
There are also fruit blends which, sport very colorful names:- goofy's favorite- winnie's rainforest- prince charming's kiss- mermaid's whisper- fairy godmother's magic- pluto's pickgoofy's favorite.
Movie screening at DisneyNaturally while enjoying a cute disney-themed meal, you can also watch movies at the same time! Popular titles include finding nemo and even the more recent ratatouille. Tthe movie schedule is displayed at the storefront.
There are also mickey-shaped computer terminals for children to surf the disney website and play disney games.

Game sheets are available at every table that allow the kids to engage in some funactivities such as crossword puzzles and quizzes.
Note: if you are going there with your children, you may be forced to buy a pre-paid card at one counter, top it up with cash on top ofa $2 deposit, then proceed to order and pay for your food at another counter. At the end of the visit, you can choose to keep the card for the next visit, or get your refund back at the first counter.
