Rembrandt soft pastels have for years been the most popular artists' pastels in the world. Rembrandt pastels have a number of characteristics and unique features including the perfect degree of softness. they are so soft that a large amount of colour is immediately released, and yet hard enough not to powder quickly. the very high colour intensity and purity ensure that each piece of work has a brilliant finish. no pigments containing heavy metals are used, such as cadmium, lead and cobalt, in the production of Rembrandt soft pastels. Apart from that, we have the Faber-Castell Creative Studio Mini Soft Pastels:   
Studio quality mini soft pastels cardboard box of 24 or 48. It can easily be wiped using your finger, a piece of cloth, paper wiper or pastel brush. Then there are the Sakura Novel Carre Pastels:  
The Nouvel Carre Pastels are a semi-hard square pastel that handles like a soft texture pastel. Carre pastel is smooth and clean to the touch. The ultra fine pigments insure extreme consistency in application, texture and working qualities. The square shape is convenient for both detailed and sketch work: the corners provide a sharp point; the side of the stick allows broad strokes. Carre pastels are lightfast-capable of an infinite range of hues, shades and tints. The ideal medium for outdoor sketching, Carre pastels are clean and easy to use. They do not crumble or powder your hands. Carre pastels are water soluble and are available in rich, vivid colours. Graphic designers, architects, technical illustrators and artists now have an ideal drawing and colouring medium.
If you are looking for an ideal introduction to the art of pastel drawing, look no further than the Mungyo Soft Pastels. Their soft texture and good colour transfer will allow artists to experiment with this exciting medium without a large expenditure. Sets in cardboard box of 12, 24 and 48. Available in half or full pastels:

FriXion Ball: Write, Delete, Repeat!
We had the FriXion Light in the last time around, and now, FINALLY, we have the Pilot FriXion Eraseable Rollerball in store!
This very unique new pen, (at least to us!) erases cleanly by friction-generated heat, leaving no debris. Uses the same ink to write and over-write. Fine 0.7mm tip. 
Those clever guys at Pilot's ink labs have come up with a new twist on the perennial search for an effective erasable pen. The ink laid down by the Frixion rollerball disappears under friction! The end of the pen has a hard plastic eraser, which when rubbed over the writing causes the colour to disappear from the ink. You can then write over it again with the same pen.
How does it work? Metamocolor technology! 'Metamocolor' is a word entirely made up by Pilot marketing people, but basically it's a type of thermo-reactive ink. The heat generated by the friction causes the ink to become translucent (at 65°C fact-hounds!). Stick it in the freezer (-20°C) and your scribblings will re-appear - albeit slightly faded. Ideal for secret messages and a lot easier than that old lemon juice and candle flames malarkey.
Pilot's new Frixion erasable rollerball is definitely a step ahead of the competition thanks to clever ink which turns transparent when subjected to friction. No eraser dust, and the line disappears very cleanly leaving only a faint impression of the erased line. The ideal way to erase is using the built-in eraser, though most hard plastic works OK. In fact if you're working on newsprint (eg. crosswords and Sudoku), the cap-end works better than the eraser as the eraser will smear the newspaper ink. (source Cult Pens)
Available in 6 colours: Black Blue Red Green Light Blue and Violet ink! Refills will be available soon too!

Books410: Half-Time
A thought provoking book for anyone who desires to live a meaningful life! 
Book: Paperback105 x 182mm272 pagesISBN 9780310257790RM 10.00Books For Life WHAT IS HALF TIME? Our life is like a football game where there is a First Half and a Second Half.
If in the First Half, we play hard to score goals, at Half Time, we take a break to reflect on our success and to strategise our game for the Second Half. Similarly in life, many people arrive at mid-life having achieved some measure of success and wondering how they should live in their Second Half.
The accolades of success cannot silence their soul's yearning for significance. Bob Buford calls this stage of life "Half-Time", and those who search for significance he aptly calls "Halftimers".
Listening to the Gentle Whisper (pp. 25, 26) "Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks
before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an
earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a
fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle
whisper." 1 Kings 19:11b-12
"I have not always paid attention to my life. To be honest, I only began paying close attention when I reached my early forties and found myself in a success panic. I was the president and CEO of a tremendously successful cable television company. I was fully engaged in a good and growing marriage. We had a son who was — there's no more appropriate way to say it — a prize. And, of course, there was something gnawing at me. How was it that I could be so successful, so fortunate, and yet so frustratingly unfulfilled. I knew perfectly well what I believed about business strategies and practices, family relationships, and the importance of friends. But I had not decided how I was going to reconcile all of these competing interests. And, as for the most important issue of all, my life of faith, I knew what I believed, but I didn't really know what I planned to do about what I believed. It was then that I started to wrestle with what I wanted out of the second half of my life." -Bob Buford- Half Time is under our Value Buy offer.

Selamat Hari Raya!
This weekend, our Muslim friends celebrate the festival of Aidilfitri, more popularly known as Hari Raya Puasa, or simply Hari Raya (Day of Celebration) in Malaysia. This is to mark the culmination of Ramadhan, the holy month of fasting. It is a joyous occasion for Muslims, as it signifies a personal triumph, a victory of self-restraint and abstinence, symbolising purification and renewal. With that... 
CzipLee will be closed for the Raya weekend from
13 October - 15 October, 2007
Business will resume as usual on
16 October, 2007
