It was by chance I brought my lappy out today. It was by chance I was attracted to this shopping cart. It was by chance I was fascinated with the graphic and crystals they have and pasted on the phones. It was by chance I suddenly thought of asking them if they could stick some crystals on my lappy. The lady said yes, I could use a graphic design and buy my own crystals and they could dyi for me with a cost. "I will be back!" I remember that was what I said to her, and off I went to the the nearest bead shop which I frequent most lately. I returned back to the store and show her the crystals I bought and instructed her to stick on top of the graphic skin I have chosen. I waited and waited. I took their stool and sat there while they work on my lappy. Pieces by pieces, they carefully picked with their tools and stick on smoothly. So while again, I started chatting with them. Asking where they are from (the guy is from Taiwan and the lady is a Sg PR), how much is the shopping cart rental each mth (3k ++), what other items could I bring over for them to stick crystals on (their answer: anything). Then the guys say "好难哦!超高难度的!" I hahahahahahahaha then I walked away, then came back with two cups of bubble tea.  "辛苦你了"Ishowed them the drinks and smiled. So they happily paste the crystals one by one again until some curious passerbys took and second look, some stopped and watched, some gathered around the lady who was working on my design, then a couple stopped and asked how much it will cost to do one like that. I replied $100. Then the couple walked and turn away, not forgetting asking the guy to "happy sticking!" I happily thinking "hahahhahahaha! I managed to scare them away......dont ever think of copying my design"

So after hr plus of waiting, and chatting and joking with the friendly owners of the shopping cart, I finally got back my lappy!!

Dont worry, its not permanently sticked on. A layer of lamentation sticker has been pasted on the overall cover before sticking the crystals on it so anytime you wanna change your design, just remove the whole lamentation sticker!! And its not 100 bucks, its 45 bucks plus 15 for the lamentation protector..

Curious onlookers who crowded the lady while she is working hard on the pasting..
The lady in cap who was working on my lappy!

The Mr Made in Taiwan who took over from his partner and continue sticking..
Completed!
