As promised, this review has been rushed to meet the dateline set by myself on The Fountain Pen Network. Below is a typed transcript in case my handwritting is hard to read.
J. Herbin
Orange Indien
This review is written with a Pelikan M400 White Tortoise Fine Nibbed pen on a Moleskine Weekly Notebook.
As with all J. Herbin inks, this ink is also not available in Singapore. This ink is a bright orange coloured ink that shows significant shading on this pen. Unlike the Poussiere De Lune, this Orange Indien ink is slightly slower drying and writes slightly thicker too.

This review has been a long overdue one as I had promised it after the previous post. Had been spending alot of time writing with this ink and it has grown on me. Purple is a colour of royalty and it is a nice colour to write with. Anyway, without further delay, the scan is below along with a typed transcript just in case my handwriting is a tab hard to read.

Had just returned home from a meeting and as I was getting ready to prop my legs up and get a rest, the doorbell rang and lo and behold, it was Mr. Postman with the package that I have been eagerly awaiting. So without further ado, here are the unboxing photos.
The much eagerly awaited package with huge FRAGILE warning to ensure that it is handled with tender loving care.
The 2 babies that are nestled in heaps of foam to ensure that they are well-protected from the knocks and bumps as they make their way across continents.

It’s tough when you have to decide which pen to purchase and which pen to forget when you’re a fountain pen lover. Even though I already own a Faber Castell E-Motion and a Pelikan M400 White Tortoise, the urge to get another pen has hit me yet again. Now its the decision between the cheaper Namiki Vanishing Point and the more expensive Visconti Van Gogh Maxi. Well, a short information on the 2 pens. Maybe some kind soul can help me decide if I should just go ahead and get the Namiki Vanishing Point or save up alittle more and get the Visconti Van Gogh instead.

Mont Blanc
Love Letter Ink 2008
This review is written with a Pelikan M400 White Tortoise Fine Nibbed pen on a Moleskine Weekly Notebook.
As promised with the previous review of the Caran d’Ache Sunset ink, I’m doing a review on the Mont Blanc Love Letter Ink 2008 edition. This ink was purchased for the exact purpose its name suggest during Valentine’s Day.
My initial thoughts was that this ink would be similar to the Caran d’Ache Sunset, but after inking and writing with this ink, I’ve come to the conclude that this ink is much brighter and a lighter shade of pink.

Caran d’Ache
Colours of the Earth: Sunset
This review is written with a Pelikan M400 White Tortoise Fine nib pen on a Moleskine Weekly Notebook.
This is a very rare ink colour to obtain with most companies stopping the production of this reddish colour (particularly true in Singapore). As I am an educator, I just had to get this shade of ink although I would have very much prefer to get the “Caribbean Sea” ink instead for its unique colour.

Rarely are we presented an opportunity to come together as one for the greater good of the human race as well as fellow inhabitants on this earth we call home. This is the only planet on the solar system that is shared by the many creatures, big and small but is it only up to us to make a stand and contribute to preserving this blue globe. So let us join hands and transcend racial, political and country lines to work together in preventing global warming and ensuring that the generations to come will still be able to enjoy the earth as we have been.

This post is to request for inputs from you on the next ink to review. I’ve always wanted to get some J. Herbin or Damine inks to review but unfortunately these are not avaliable in my country and will be fairly expensive to ship over. Hence, I’m now at a dilemma on which ink to get that would be interesting and exciting to review.

Noodler’s Ink
Singapore Honourable Blue
This review is written with a Faber-Castell E-Motion Medium nib pen on a Moleskine Weekly Notebook.
I received a pair of this ink from a fellow FPN member about a year ago and I would like to thank him once again. This ink is also part of the Singapore series ink that Noodler’s catered for this island market and as such it bears the same “Bulletproof” properties as the other inks in its stable. It has very slight feathering as compared to the Singapore Sepia but it has considerably more bleedthrough than the Singapore Sepia.
by Lincoln on March 20, 2009
This is a handwritten review of the Noodler’s Singapore Sepia ink and it is the 1st ink that I bought so I’ve decided to write a review of it on why I chose this to be the first ink I ever gotten. A typed transcript is below in case my handwriting is hard to read.
