August to Remember

My baby sister went through an operation when our family still in the mourning. Our family came together and being so close with each other during this hard time.

Syukur, her operation went well. While waiting for her in hospital, i crochet. It calms me during this hard time. Some of my works are here.

Daddy Dearest

It was such a beautiful Sunday morning in August, my dearest was laid to rest. Sunday is his favourite day. The day where he went to Sunday Market wearing his best 'baju batik' and buying all our favourite foods. Seeing his final moment was just so heartbreaking.

The most handsome, gentleman and funniest guy in my life. No more jokes and stories of 'orang kampung'. No one to to remind me to eat oranges. When i've problem in my relationship, he was the one to cheer me up. No one to treat me the best 'Nasi Beriani' in Temerloh.

Life will never be the same without him

Secret Garden

Finally, i've framed 'Secret Garden' last week before i went to Ho Chi Minh. My Secret Garden is a combination of my love towards crochet and tatting. It look aged since it took me a long while to 'grow' it.

Ho Chi Minh City - Part I

This is a short trip to HCMC with my friend, Yuko last weekend. Our first visit to Vietnam. We got this really good deal from airasia promotions. Swine flu fashion, wearing a mask especially at the airports.

First day, we went to Cu Chi Tunnel, the historic underground tunnel. Two hours drive from HCMC. The place is beautiful in an eerie kind of ways. You can feel the hardship and their suffering living in the small tunnels and the bombings.

Tatting Oh Tatting Oh So Delicate

I'm so into tatting now. I learnt tatting from an old needlework book. I tatted since high school for my crochet trimming and lace.

Now i'm designing for earrings. The sketch in the photo is slightly different from the piece.
