Family's been my foundation of my beliefs of the sort of person i've been brought up to be, been loved my whole life, and truly a very blessed life to still have my grams with me, seeing her everyday for dinner, having my aunts & uncles as company through on the weekends, and i can't ask for anything more that Kaylen now has this chance to grow up with them around him.
Friends who has been there for every different part of my life matters lots cause each one of them had been at a certain stage, and they've seen me for who i am, and i can't be thankful enough that my life journey had them in it. To my bestest friend Wen who has been there since Secondary school days - Wendy, who in school we will be everywhere together, buying almost similar stuff, finding boys cute during those days, and hanging out after school at "Do Re Mi" for lunch (i still remember the mushroom chicken noodle) at Yaohan or Paradiz Centre for beef noodles. She's been there my whole teenage life and we even had the chance to travel 2 weeks to UK, Paris. I miss those times cause that's when we had more time to do stuff together. We've also studied in Perth for a period of time where we went truly "New Age" whenever we meet cause we're just studying at 2 different Unis.
If anyone is to know us now, we're both actually extreme opposite of each other, in character, shopping for clothes, colour choices, everything except for scrapbooking. She's alot more sociable then i am, less shy, super friendly, fun loving, and even though through the last 10 years we don't get the chance to meet up constantly enough, or talk through the phone or constant sms, we're still the sort that would just pick off from where we left. Our friendship is not your usual "meet you every weekend sort" cause she's busy with her life, and with Kay now, i'm finding time so precious, and each time when we meet be it shopping, or having lunch, it's really solid time spent with her and now both of us scrap, so i'm just glad that she's liking this hobby too.
She's just dropped off these lovely handmade, one of the kind birthday gifts for me, and boy am i spoilt...just look at how pretty they are, and they are like what i call them a family of frames. Nothing beats receiving these precious gifts from the heart. Hugs Wen, i love them, and you've got me wanting to try out making shadow boxes (don't know why, but i never thought of creating one which has 3D stuff in them)
A while back, my pal J also made me this glam name card holder with all the BLING BLING, and it's personalised too. We've our own story too which was another chapter for me. She's not only became a close friend of mine, but also a point my work colleague. Check it out, and it comes with a handmade card too, and if you can tell, she's also recently picked up scrapbooking (thanks to me, hehehe). Then with her, I have KY who's also a dear pal of mine whom use to be my work colleague too, and now she's a happy stay at home mom to an almost 2 year old (Valerie exactly 4 months younger than Kaylen), and we both too have our own friendship story.
Friendship never ends, and i too made good friends during my Uni days in Perth, Y who's now in Kota Kinabalu, and Y who's getting married next month, and my housemate C. For these friends, we have our happy times. I sometimes stop and think about my friends, might not get the chance to see them all the time, but i would drop them smses once in a while to just say hello, and that's how i let my friends know that i care. To me, it's not so much the physical of meeting up, but very much they know if they need help, I'm always going to be just there for them. There is Pam whom i see about twice a year (if i'm lucky hahaha...she would know why), and each time when we meet, it has to be either eating Ma La steamboat here or there... or steamboat somewhere else...we would just eat eat & eat more....This is our story of our friendship, and our babies are only born 3 days apart of each other.
I make new friends on my way through life, and with scrapbooking, i'm so loving that i find new friends, and my old pals are also roped into this crazy hobby of mine, so you can just imagine my happiness. More chat topic....
This little gift was made for G to cheer her up, made with AC's Blue Skies papers (i call them my happy papers), and there are made of little tags, and done up as a written note to her. + prepared her a "de-stress package". Meeting her & Pooi (yes yes, i'm finally meeting her, so excited!!), Love how i'm end my work week!
Enjoy your evening!
