The Best Inspiration
Ting!
The safest way to copy
is to copy God's design.
Because God will never claim for copyright
and you will never get legal sue
for stealing people's idea.
The nature is the best source of inspiration!

Talent
Ting!
Everybody's got talent.
But most people do not know how to use their talents
until they saw what others do with theirs.
That is why God creates leaders and followers.
To make this world works for everybody.

Out of Supply
The customer sent the headless couple as in above photo, but I afraid my stamp would look awkward if I continue carving as per requested. So I draw the head and add some simple details on the girl's dress. Glad she liked it.
These were the last stamps that I manage to complete before I realized that I am out of erasers!Yeah,
you hear me right.
I don't have anymore erasers to carve! Since last January!
Ibarat penoreh getah yang kehabisan pokok getah untuk ditoreh.
Begitulah.

Tiny Details
Living in an apartment, we share the same stairs and walkway with many other families.
Few steps away from the main entrance to the stairs, there's a concrete slab covering the drain and it makes a "dong!" sound everytime someone steps on it. Funny, I can distinguish the "dong!" created by my husband's feet and his familiar footsteps. Sometimes I am quick enough to open the door before he knocks.
We, actually without realizing it sometimes, knows the people that close to us, close to all the tiny details.
I still remember my late grandfather, his distinct way of calling my little sister, and asking her if she wants anything every time he's going to the town . The last time I heard it was before he went to the hospital, about 23-24 years ago.

Appreciate the tiny details,
it's a blessing but we don't know when it will be taken from us.

Unplanned
I think we are lucky,if we can still throw away things
that didn't go as planned,
and the action will not ruin anything
or anybody in our lives.
Ok now I feel a bit guilty,
I think the card deserves a chance
to be completed before being judged.

A Perfect Birthday
A poem and digital card by a talented crafter, Mizam, using my old drawing of Mangosteen Fairy. Oww...this is beyond sweetness!
Because you know what,
yesterday was my birthday.
I received nothing materialistic,
and expect none of these either,
because all I wish from God is
to have all the precious people in my life,
especially my Numero Uno.
I don't even expect to receive
so many wishes especially in Facebook.
My online acquaintances,
ex-customers, artist friends, teachers, lecturer,
relatives and long-silenced old friends,
suddenly re-appear to wish me all the good wishes.
Knowing that everybody
is still within my reach,
anytime I need them.
That is the greatest gift of all,
nothing can beat a gift from God.
Alhamdulillah.
Can you imagine,
all those pleasant surprises?
I'm taking this chance,
to wish everybody happiness and health,
love and success.
and
Here's a big bunch of THANK YOU,
hugs and kisses,
for you.

G-Dragon - Butterfly
Here's another Butterfly song.
I love the video clip very very much!
So inspiring!

Butterfly -Jason Mraz
I heard this song first time in my husband's player,
Ohyeah I love it!
Ironically,
Our Butterfly ATC swap is currently happening.
It really got me into
butterfly mood!
If you're asking why I finish my first
Butterfly ATC
so early,
hehe,
this is it.
Current Status
My camera is not available at the moment, but i think my handphone is doing the job just great.I will include the above ATC in my Butterfly set for the next swap.
If you're interested to join the swap, please read here.
Those who are not familiar with ATC might wonder,
how big an ATC can be?
Well,
the above photo shows the actual size of it.
remember it's strictly 2.5 x 3.5 inch.
I am currently working on
a video for our previous swap.
but it's taking so much time,
everytime I want to edit the text, the window always crash.
I have all the photos ready,
so if anyone care enough to lend a helping hand,
I would be most delighted,
you can put the credit to yourself at the end of the video.
I'm planning to upload it to youtube,
so anyone can get back to that little online exhibition,
anytime.
trying to complete commissioned jobs.
trying to recover some lost documents due to computer problem early this year.
i need to chase the deadline,
Ooops, the deadline is chasing me actually.
I'm also in the middle of considering one very important thing,
I am still undecided
but I must say, it's the core of the existence of this blog.
Urm, that's all I can tell,
at the moment.
I'd like to wish all my chinese friends,
GONG XI FA CAI,
I'm planning to draw something for you on CNY actually,
but time does not permit.
And to everybody else,
I hope your CNY holiday had been great!

Pembiayaan Ujrah
Have you ever heard of Pembiayaan Ujrah?
Well, thank you very much to an old friend for mentioning it.
I'm unable to receive any written notification or letters
from PTPTN because I still haven't notified them about my new address.
Usually I just pay via online banking,
and seldom visit the site.
Under Pembiayaan Ujrah, the interest of our total balance of PTPTN loan,
as on 1 JUN 2008 will be reduced from 3% to 1% only.
Upon completion of the registration, we will be asked to update our particulars.
Then, a new agreement will be emailed to us and we will need to print and sign it.
They will calculate our balance and prepare a new payment schedule for us.
Most people have been notified personally by PTPTN regarding this,
but if you haven't heard of it (like my case),
I hope this post gonna be useful in spreading the information.
Just click Pembiayaan Ujrah FAQ to learn more.
Be quick, as the offer is ending on 28th February 2011.
