SHERA'S BORDER

I called home today and talked to grandma. I know she misses me and have a lot to say but at the same time she worries I spend a lot of money on phone bills. I explains to her many times already that my phone package has a minimum amount RM50 that I need to use every month but she never gets it. To her: long distance calls = $$$$. And so today, as usual, she stops me from talking so long. Grandma: 好了啦。。。没有什么不要讲这样久啦。。。你还要跟谁讲话？ok liao la. Nothing important don't talk so long la. Anybody else you want to talk to? Shera: 我要跟你讲话. I wana talk to you. Grandma: ok. 你要跟我讲什么？ ok, what do you wana say to me? Shera: 婆婆，我爱你！ Grandma, I love you! Grandma: 嘿，"shin jin bin"! (神经病 in hakka accent). You are crazy! (but I can tell she is smiling one. hehe) Shera: @.@.................. hahahaha. (then she laughs with me also) I miss grandma. I miss home. whuu.... whuuu........... :(

I made this card to encourage a brother in Pujut Church (church from my dear hometown). He is someone... erm, I have probably never spoken more than 10 lines to. And of those 10 lines that I've spoken to him before, I don't think I'll remember regarding what also (probably Ruidi's wedding deco gua.. :p). Wondering how I got about to send a card to him? Well, thanks to the digital world. I found his blog (through who I forgot also) and felt the urge that I need to do something. Being lost for words as usual, making cards is best way for me to talk or send a message. While I was sending it, I was even wondering if he would know me o not. Hahaha. But thank God, he knows and he is touched. So my card fulilled its purpose lu! ^^ yei! Ruidi and Sandy got married for 1 month today :) So fast leh. Seems like I just got back from Miri and its been a month liao! wow.... I made the card with their fav colors - red for Ruidi and blue for Sandy. Kinda wierd combination but I think i

Yep, one of those days. Things didnt really go my way today. And things like this normally happen one following another, making a nice snowball there. I got up today heavy headed - means migraine is coming. Got up later than usual, so gonna be extra late for work. "Extra" because I am already late everyday :p Then before leaving the house, I spilled my water plant and I had to clean the mess. Extra extra late. I met with multiple traffic jams (the unusual kind). My 20 min ride become 1 hour today. Super extra extra late. Work was not so smooth either. Work started by being questioned by my boss for not revealing certain problems to him. Had my reasons though. Went to site to get something done. But there were some problems and we couldnt do the job we planned. So we have to go again tomorrow Of all days, we have a shipping thingy today. Oh, by the way, I hate shipping - worse part of my job I find so far. I hate the hassle and uncertainty of it. Emails flying up and down, doc

I have a dream!! (quote Mandela :p) I have always been a big dreamer (both day and night :p). If I had to describe myself, I would say: a small town girl with big dreams. I used to believe that music was biggest dream. I even came all the way to the big city to pursue it - not quite there yet, but believe me I'm getting there. But then lately, I realize I have a bigger vision/dream and its not music. Ya..... OUCH! after all the effort I have spent on music. No effort will be wasted, but I do regret I didnt started my other bigger dream earlier. Actually its not exactly a 'bigger' dream lah, I just realize I find it more important and more meaningful, that's all. Ok, enough blabbering, get to the point!.. Haha. I have a dream that my cards can touch people . I have never been and probably never will be good in talking. Many a times I want to comfort / encourage people but when I open my mouth, all that comes out is 'blah' and nothing really useful. I tried worki

Dad requested a thank you card that he could give to the sister fellowship in church for their support - endless supply of refreshment all year round. For what? You might say. Well, its for the gardening group my dad participates in every Sunday. After much trial and error of arrangements, I came out with this layout. Not bad I would say, not considering the amount of time I spent of course :p The next card was a fast one tho. It's a simple sympathy card for Uncle Dan, who lost his mum to cancer last Friday :( I was making the card above when I receive the news. So I continued to make this for him. Nothing will be able to replace the place of love ones in your live but I hope this card can bring a little comfort. And this.... strikingly red, is the replacement card for Ming Yong, who didnt get the V-day card last week due to my lack of supply :P Sorry again Ming Yong, hope you like this :)

"Handmaking cards is all about sharing the Lurve" - I thought of this phrase to make cards for my 2 card making buddies - Marlene and Liza . Purpose of these 2 cards are mostly gratitude and appreciation of the love I receive from them through card making. Marlene was such a darling to send us Valentines card for our church activity :) This is the card I made for her. Another card is a card I found on the spot in church, to let others sign and show their gratitude for her cards. I actually made some extra's for the event that night so that we can have one to sign by all to Marlene. But the attendance that night was good (thank God) so my extra's were not enough. I searched high and low and prayed I could find a piece of blank A4 paper, thinking I could let them sign first and I'll make the cover later on. But to my despair, while there are many many new envelopes =.=, I could not find one single A4 paper in Pandan. "Alamak!!" I thought. However, God kn

So here we go with more pictures of the little angel game. Everybody is very 'rajin' writing. Cards ready to send out Happy Receivers! I didnt make enough. Lack of one! ggrrr.... ming yong, I owe you a big one. Sorry :p Dessert after that - Ice Creams! Gosh, 1.30 am!.... i'm gonna be so screwed for work tomorrow >.< Happy Valentines Day everyone! Goodnight

Love is in the air~~~......... In this lovey dovey season, even though I have no valentine this year to celebrate with, I feel it's still a great time to share our love. So I had this idea, where I handmade some cards, and played a little game with my church fellowship. This is a classic game to care for each other called the "little angel" game. The rules are, each person draws a name randomly and he shall need to send a card to the person whose name he drew. Having to make quite a number, I ran out of idea and panic just a bit :p. Then Marlene to the rescue! She poslaju-ed 6 cards of 6 wonderful designs for us. Brothers and sisters went nuts over her cards. They were excited already just by the mention of her name. Haha. It went like this.... Me: "Guys, we need to thank Marlene for these cards, because she.... " Pandan: (interrupting) " Waaa.............." Me: (=.= and continuing.....) because she send these lovely cards for us" Pandan: (contin

This time back home my mum showed me the cards I made all these years. She kept them all these years!!!! WOW.... i got excited looking back at them.... my designs back then.. hehehehe...and flash back memories of how I made them etc. I'll describe those I remember. Hope you guys enjoy this ^^ This card was made when I received the 'magic markers' from my mum. These babies has two colors in each pen. When you first draw its shows the first color. Then when you overlap first drawing with the "magic pen" it'll change to the second color. I remember I really had fun with them. Oo... stickers!! I've love 'em since I was a kid. These were my best badge stickers back then. I was saving for something special. Oh, by the way, I was 12 years old in 1994 ^^ I made this card out of a DIY pack I got from church. Needed very little creativity because the basket and flowers are so nice already. I started to do "more complicated" designs by cutting a hole to
