Mini Envelope Pocket

From a tutorial I learned from apieceofcraft.com. Its super easy and this was my first attempt. I just used some scrap paper from my stash. Added a pink bling from Daiso. And I love the cute elephant, just some random puffy stickers bought from bookstores.

I made a tag to go in the pocket. This photo is 2" by 2". I stuck the photo on some scrap pieces saved from packaging, made it look like a mini polaroid. I love it!! Those alpha stickers are from making memoris....super cute! The butterfly bling is from the art shop i visited last week. Really like how it turned out.

This is how it looks with the tag in the pocket. So cute right?? yeay!! Am happy with the results! Will definitely make more. Maybe a mini album full of pockets?? Well I need to find the time for it. (=

Some items I purchased from Daiso and local art stores. I love stationaries. Even when I was little girl, never was intrigued by candies but I love love, stationary shops. LOL!

Stamps, where have you been?

Its been a long long time since I saw stamps on parcels. I was truly happy when Aaron gave me the whole envelope. I tried looking for my stamps album, which i so fervently collected during my school days but cant find it. Sad! Anyways I was still happy to get these Hong Kong Stamps out.

Step 1: Cut out the stamps and soak in water.

Step 2: Leave overnight and vohla, it will detached from the envelope.

Step 3: Dry the stamps.

Will use them for a mini album I have in mind....but will only work on it next year, as we'll only be going to Hong Kong next year.

Disney land!!! I'm so looking forward to meeting you.

'This is Me' Journal Page 5

I {Heart} You!!

1. Used My Minds Eye for the "Best Friends' rub-on

2. Oh and I love the FRIEND tag that says:

"Someone who knows everything about and you and likes you anyway"

Aaron still loves me despite of my on and off rage and nonsence. LOL!

3. I didnt want the photo edge to show, so I added a turquoise rick rac. Love how it turned out.

4. Just a simple page.

P/S: Mel, is this the page you wanted to see??? LOL!

Delicious scrap goodies from Bona

I am drooling all over this basket. Super delicious goodies to be given away by Bona on keeponscrappin.blogspot.com

I am praying so hard to win this. This whole basket will cost around RM300-400 (its a whole lot of money). Those outside of Malaysia, its actually dollar to dollar value. For example, one whole meal in Mcdonalds cost RM8.90....so dollar to dollar value, scrapbooking in Malaysia is extreamly expensive.

...but, but...i still love to craft. I've collected a mini stash of goodies, mostly those to sale items.

Dear God, please help me to win this!!!

xoxo,

My productive weekend

1. Started of on Friday. It was terrible a hot day and I decided to pull over near Little India and have an Ice Cream. Hilarious scene, coz it was a busy road.

2. Super hot day continued to Sat, and we stop by to have some Shaven Ice..."Cendol".

3. Took these cute girls out for lunch. Celebrated Mel's belated birthday. We ate a lot!

BTW, these cute tops are from Greeen Bananas. (=

4. After lunch, we took a stroll to an old looking art supply shop. Be sure to have wet wipes if you visit them. I bought some bling, colored pen and some vintage looking rub-ons. Mel bought some stuff too.

5. Bought about 30 pieces of children's vintage books and a vintage type writter for a total of RM30 (Approx: USD9). What a good deal right? Will photograph it later.

6. Meet up with some girlfriends for dinner. Had our favorite meat balls 'Bah Kut Teh'. Yummy! and we had some girl talk. Fun!

7. Woke up later on Sunday..(11.30am). Went to Aaron's, had lunch, talk, played with his niece, KNIT (probably like 5-6 rows only), then talk and talk and talk.

8. Came back home and decided to scrap a lil. This is what I did. Have not completed writting my dreams yet, it'll come!

I love the puffy butterflies....and the huge one says Dreams come true, perfect for this page.!

9. Doddled a little. Nasty ones. LOL!

10. Blog hopping to other crafty blogs to get inspired even more. I love Elsie's blog.

For a special girl who turned 14 (=

100% Crafted and Made with Love!

Love, love these 60s swimsuit

And the fashion cycle is back!!



Swimsuits that are not skimpy and totally to-die-for. I so want one of each.....(=



Which reminds me, I have not gotten a tan in like 1 1/2 years?? I miss, Redang so much.....should I re-visit next year??

To the Mr....

Pardon the woman and change it to man...*WInks*

Page 2 & 3 of "This is me..."

My deep love for Starbucks. How can I resist? So glad I found you.

To my amazement, this Vinyl thickers from American crafts stick pretty well to the sketch paper. Previously it was peeling off. I had a blast working with them. I used this super cute green paper from October Afternoon, it had robots on the other side.
And the rest were packaging and coffee sleeves. Love how it turned out.

This picture is the perfect set-up of how my time in starbucks will be, totally relaxed with yellow lights and Jazz music....ahhhh perfecto!

6 reasons why I love starbucks. Pure indulgence & self reward.

xoxo,

I was in the mood...

....to Scrapbook journal. Always wanted to start something about 'ME', but as usual always too busy to start. Last night, I reached home around 12.00am, washed up and my Greeen Bananas work starts...not too many orders last night, so called it a night. Then I was looking at my messy craft space and decided I should at least start something.....and I did.

Pat on the shoulders! Good job.

I bought this Acid Free sketch book in Borders...for like RM3.50? Its cheap. Cant believe that we can actually get acid free stuff in our bookstores...Total happiness. I know the cover is a little off, will decorate it later.

TADA!!!! My first page. This is me....Sharon Cornelius. Used a 5R pic, chosed something candid. I love this pic.

Confession: I have bad bad handwritting, or least I do not think it looks artsy enough. So I found some old stickers lying around in my stash and decided to make the best of what I can find. I love how random the stickers are....perfect!

Some lace ribbon i bought in Bangkok, and my unopened pack of chipboard letters. Finally got to use them. Used a border sticker trip as well.

Love the cupcakes....sweet and adorable. I got them 50% off from Smidapaper.

Will try to continue page 2 tonight. My love for starbucks........(=

Trip to Bangkok- Jun'09

Good Morning Bangkok! What a fantastic view of the city from the Executive floor.

Who would not wake up on the right side of bed if you have a wonderful view?

My Mix breakfast, smoked salmon, salmon sushi, ham, english sausage with cheese on tomato.
And not photograph was my butter and honey waffle. Super yummy!

Tea time, Vanilla ice cream with hot dark cherry pancake. Sinful.

Evening View.

This is the over crowded China Town

Lots of foodstalls and people everywhere.

Glorious Durians

Not too sure where they are selling, but looks like dessert?

I had to vain a little while waiting for the food to come

And another...

This place is lovely. Full of antiques for Sale. Huge tree growing in the middle.

Simply unique.
Oh and a new found friend, Nona who is Thai but lives in NYC.

Delicious. Salivating again while looking at this pic.

The Climb

Am not quite a fan of Miley Cyrus but I love this song. Youtube it!

Its true, it doesnt matter where your destination is, its how you get there counts. Am struggling with so many decision making......so many mountains in my life.

I cant even see whats beyond 100 meters in my life. I have a bad habbit to worry of the next problem, I find it hard to savor the present moment. One thing I do know is that God is beside me, climbing every mountain that comes along.

Sometimes we want to control our loved ones, we want them to be in the safe zone.....afraid of letting them fall into shit holes....but who am I to know if there is a shit hole waiting? For all I know it could be a gold mine. The human side of me is worried sick but as a christian, I should trust God, maybe He wants to deal with them. Every adult is capable of making their own decisions, after which they have to be responsible to accepting the consequences.

I gotta back out.....

Tough battle with oneself.

Thats my climb.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

What would life be without friends?

I've known them since primary school....6 years old?

Although some are far away, we always dont run out of conversation

Its funny, how we've grown from kids to teenagers to young adults and pretty soon moving into motherhood. Time flies.

Its interesting to view back pass pictures, never have I imagined which of my friends will still be with me until 20 years later.

Some could not be in this pic, but you'll stay in my heart.

(Su, Mel & Lih)

I love you guys!

Got this in my mailbox today from my good friend Liara. Good one!

Good morning Monday!

I love waking up on Monday mornings without having to step into motorola.... Steping into that building makes me gloomy.

Anyways I shall not think about that today, will only be back at work on wednesday. (great happiness!!!!)

Both mom & I followed dad to bangkok for his business trip. Tons of shopping with great food and a lovely hotel. We're waiting to head off to Siam Square to shop....in the mean time, am blogging from my itouch from the executive floor. Love love being on holiday.

I miss my dear Aaron.... Wish he was here doing breakfast with me overseeing this fantastic view of the city.

Ok gtg. Will post some pics when I get back.

Xoxo.

My Very Own pair of Malindi's

Yeay, Yeay, Yeay! Happiness. My very first pair of Crocs. Bought it on Mother's day, when I took Aaron's mom for a pedicure treat. After being pampered for 2.5 hours, I was ready for some shoes. HeHe. Since it was mother's day....they gave me a free heart embelishment also I could also pick one. I chose a bling. (**SMILES**) totally satisfied.

This pic is closer to the actual color. I could have gone for the normal boring pastel....but I wanted something that 'Pops'. And this was the closest to red. Oh and I booked another pair of Gold print leopards. It looked really cute.

So Drool, drool, drool.....or get one yourself.

"Summertime" - Choreography by Donna Shepherd

My gosh! Jaw dropped. Pauline is getting better and better. Its crazy. I find it so difficult to even do a double pirouette....arghhh! They did countless!!!! ENVY!

I wanna dance like this!!!

Greeen Bananas @ A:Fair Weekend Bazaar

Fra la la lalala....

This is my second time setting up a booth, and again totally last minute. Decided only last night around 8.30pm. Sheryl could not get her friend to share the stall with her so she's left alone....so the big sis decided to keep her company, since we'll be celebrating cousin Miks birthday too.

Bazaars like these are fun but super tiring. I stayed up till 2am, picking only a suitcase full of goodies to sell (not so convenient travelling by bus and lugging everything by yourself). I also labeled the price tags....thank God i had left over tags made from Time Square Booth. Packing hangers, plastic bags, scissors, clips....all the nitty gritty to make your stall look cute.

It'll be a fun fun time. Two sisters, totally different styles and taste colaborating a stall. If you're in KL, do drop by ok, theres something for everybody. Yeay! Toodles.

xoxo,

Love this pic.

Its a rare moment. Good hair day & good skin day! LOL! Ihad to repost this on polaroid again.

Oh Cute and Modest!

Who says we cant look good without showing off too much of skin? These dresses are super cute! Dont you agree??

Its raining cats and dogs, I wish I was working from home in my jammies...but these dresses are putting a big big smile on my face. I want all of them!

- Been hunting for an embroidery dress for so so many months already, its really expensive! -

- Come to think of it, I only have 1 purple dress.....i need more! -

- Simple, very pocahontas? -

- OooOOoo, I love love this maxi...its just too cute! I want, I want! its also USD78 -

- Vintage with a twist -

- So bohemian and ME!! I want this too! -

Happy Monday Ship-offs

Am always happy to ship something off on mondays. At least I'm making sales weekly. Praise God!

Somehow I miraculously woke up at 7.30am. Slept at 11pm. Totally exhausted from the weekend.

Left home at 8.15am to get my car to workshop. Whats interesting is the workshop was opposite the main Police station, and they had lorry loads of policemen. We had breakfast at the same place......dont know why, but kinda intimidating to be among them. One of them asked me to join them for breakfast....LOL! strange guy. Anyways I should get back to my boring work load.

So till I blog again!

xoxo,

I've missed you!

- Yeay! After resisting for so many weeks? or days? -

- It was heavenly. Green Tea Frap.....ahhh... -

- Finishing the last bit. Thats a whole lot of calories I just packed on....but we gotta indulge ourselves once in a while right? Wearing "Trix are for Kids" tee by Junk Food. Love their tees, its sooooo cute and comfy. Alrighty, think its time to head home. Good night starbucks. Till we meet again. Smuaks -

One of 2009 goals Accomplished!

...Its to learn how to knit!! Yeay!

I was practically alone last night....some of my friends went to catch a movie, some Japanese show but I wasnt too keen. Decided to have a lil 'ME time'......which doesnt come by often.

I could have stayed at home and relax but I was itching to do something. So I drove to queensbay, went to the yarn shop and decided to knit something. The clases are free, so just buy 3 yarns from them and you're set to go. The whole thing cost me about RM85 including the needles.

I must say I had a tough 2 hours trying to knit. Its not as simple as it looks. So so....my first project will be a cotton scarf. Pardon the pic below....this is just trial knit. Its also one of the uglist knitting piece I've ever seen. LOL! The lady will start my actual scarf today, after work. Yiippie! Hopefully it'll be a pretty piece.

- The colors is making me happy! Bright & Gay -

- I have about 3 wholes in that piece with crooked knits! LOL!..-

P/S: Am really glad I started crafting! It makes me so so happy to make something! Watch out....a very crafty girl is about to be unleashed. (=

I'm loving this set of Rub-ons from Maya Road. Was thinking of using it to make a card. Am obsessed with OWLS! They are super cute. So tihckers for the canvas and rub-ons for the card.

- In the car deciding where to have dinner. We enjoy paying normal priced food on valentines....not some hyped up commercial meal. So we settled for Chock Dee Thai....Our all time Thai Favorite. -

The pumpkin look...LOL!
Dress: Forever 21

Quilted Leather Bag: Bangkok

Thick bangle: India
Shoes: Erm...bangkok?

- Distracted by itouch on this special day?? Sorry dear, I was addicted to bejewelled -

- Angel cuppie by PopCakes -

- My handmade card for Mr.Xavier, cute?? -

- The ritual visit on every Valentines.....Gurney Drive. Valentines'09 seem a little quiet. Economic downturn I presume? Its usually pretty packed.....far less lovers on the street compared to the other years. What happened?? -

xoxo,

An afternoon date..

Feels darn good to be out on a date again. We've both been terribly busy, meetings after meetings, appointments after appointments, functions......I'm glad we got to spend the afternoon together....watching "Confessions of a shopperholic'.....then a lil shopping (LOL!).....then dinner.. then Gellato (YUMMMY!), cud not get my fav flavor, pistachio...so i settled for Maccadamia.

I dislike sunday evenings. The thought of going back to work the next day sucks! So I love being in an alfresco area, watching the sun set....in a way it does make me feel better. Try it.

Our view from where we had dinner. Aaron could not resist Nandos...LOL!

Dark clouds and strong wind......I loved it!

*Smiles*

A fulfilling day!

xoxo,

My blog is looking a lil strange

Wonder what happened?!, the layout seems to be different.

I miss blogging terribly. Finally, having some time alone ....just to chill and relax after being heavily drugged. Right now I have painkillers and antibiotic running in my blood streams. If you're wondering why? Well, I pulled my back and neck mucles on sunday while trying to repossition a 17kg luggage bag...its probably the worst I've gotten, so now i am restricted to limited movements with slight robotic grace. And to top it up, my toe is suffering from secondary bacteria infection (so it was told by the doctor) causing my walks to be a pain. So the reason of having time alone is because I'm too drugged to leave the house...LOL! I guess its a blessing in disguise. Been dying to get some rest or more importantly getting some quality time alone.

I wish that I could freeze the time and enjoy the day as it passes. Its almost mid march and it feels like 2009 just came, freeky!

Sigh! So far 2009 has been a great year, but I just need to slow it down a little. (= I strongly believe that this is a special year for me.

A year of Growth
A year of Experiences
A year of Learning
A year of Planning
A year of Discerning
A year of Adjusting
A year of Embrasing
.....a year of Thankfulness!

I am expecting change to take its place...a good change is what I need.

I need to get back to photo editing so I can upload the newly stocked clothes @ Greeen Bananas

I should be blogging soon, with pictures too. Yeay!

Loving this

MY iPod touch. Writing this post from the itouch. It's so cool that I can't get enough of it.

2am and I'm still blogging......all from the comfort of my bed. Will it make me lazy? I hope not. This is the first time ever for me to fall in love with a gadget so much. Go get one yourself, absolutely no regrets.

Anyways I better snooze soon. Need to wake up early to pack my bag for kl. Yes another trip. I've been travelling back and forth for more than 3 times in a month. I just wanna chill at home!

Xo!

Compliments of the Season!

No kiddin, today is the 8th day day of 2009. Am still in a daze...all the fuss and huss from being ill. I made a bin full of tissue 'wanton's' (chinese dumplings) today. Compared to monday, I feel a whole lot better (totally drugged).

IS it just me or does time really flies? Just a week ago, I was on the way back from KL (thats where my fever started).....then we were busy preparing for Pam's wedding from friday night onwards. Came this week, I was on mc monday & tuesday, sleeping most of the time - I know.....what a way to start the new year huh??!! But I guess thats the only way I could rest before my schedule gets really busy again.

I was away from my cubicle for 2 weeks....I was definitely flying high in Heaven! *smiles*

Did I wake up late? Not really...I was up and going by 10am....getting ready to play with my tiny cousins and lazing around the house. Now am back to my confined work space, wishing I could work from home concentrating on my business.

Well I'll save all the jazzy story for another day....it is indeed a new year afterall.

Perhaps a fresh outlook on my career path?

Or a more positive mindset?

We'll have to work on that Sharon! *eyes rolling*

Merry Merry Christmas

Hello Christmas!

Happy Birthday Jesus...

It's finally christmas day! Christmas came too fast. Been so so super busy with advent projects, carolling, getting christmas gifts...gosh! Now it came in a blink of an eye.

Regrets. So Regret not spending more time to anticipate the coming of Christmas.

Am kinda sleepy right now...may take a short nap. Toodles. Blog later!

Crafting for Christmas Presents

My craft space......messy and full to the brim! I have another 5 nights to finish everything. Gosh!

How in the world??

Carolling starts tonight, which means I'll only be home pass 11pm. Then I'll be scrapbooking still 2-3am....oh bugger! I am so in need of Rest and pressing for precious Time!

Which reminds me, I have not wrap any christmas presents yet!! Tones of it....Darn. I have to finish everything by the 22nd.

My scrapbook stash, all over the floor....mom will scream if she sees this!hehehe. So excited to finish all my Christmas Projects!! Will post up pics once its done...

Birthday Lunch...

Restaurant: Fuji
- It was mom's treat. Yeehaa! Japanese Food ......I love Jap food
- Wishing Aaron was with me.

- Green tea was served in thermos. Great idea for busy restaurants, that way we can refill whenever we want! without getting upset with the waitress...lol -

- Vaining instead of ordering my food. Was really hungry (wonder why I look a lil tan here) -

- In deep conversation while my stomach was literally sounding...cepat ler! -

-Yeay! Food's here...the chicken and tofu was yummy! and I left the kimchi untouched, too much of a pickled taste for my liking. (eh Kerry, you would have loved it!) -

- Mom's mackeral or some fish -

- Dad's giant squid, really yum!! -

- And hot cuppa tea / coffee after the meal (mine's tea!) -

xoxo,

This came from US

Thanks to Jesamine...

She carried this all the way back from the States! (=

Another bag for my collection...Since I cant afford Gucci or LV, Guess is the next best thing for me!

Under the weather

Yea, slight flu with irritable cough.

My body is screaming for R-E-S-T!!!

I have the craziest schedule and year end doesnt make it better. How did I end up being sooo busy? Absolutely no idea. I thought I could rest last weekend @ Jazz Fest. We had a Family room in Bayview Beach and the bed was just amazingly comfy...ahhh! And crazy me slept around 3-4am and waking up rather early both days. Haiz!

....but as usual being at the Fest itself is a holiday for us....could not ask for more. Getting mesmerized by the talented musicians, watching their technical skills , in awe of their deep passion for music, being with friends who share the same liking....... is definitely a good way to relax.

Sharon hearts music!

".....who can live without it, I ask in

all honesty, what would life be?

Without a song or a dance,

what are we??

So I say Thank You for the music,

for giving it to me."

-Abba-

I need to finish work so I can be early for Modern Class, then off for Hip Hop!

Its Dancing Tuesday!

xoxo,

2 Months..

...Since I last step into Kerry's Hip hop class.

Missed it soo much.

But I went last night! Happiness. And now my muscles a lil sore. LOL!

Nothing beats being in the studio to sweat it out and enjoying every moment. Stress-Free!

After class we went for a drink. Milo Peng and Kopi Peng! Halfway thru I remembered on tuesdays there's pasar malam @ Tanjung Bungah....so finished our drinks quickly and gatai us were happy to be on the way to a Pasar Malam....hehe. Just like lil kids.

And as we're approaching TB, it started to rain....heavy enough to need an umbrella-ella-ella-eh eh. Haih! Of all days, the one day we wanted to be there rain pulak! But that didnt stop crazy us to still find stalls that are opened. LOL!

Kerry bought asam (er, as crazy as it sounds...that was her dinner), then Keropok udang & Ubi and Kerry even bought a pair of shades. Well that was all the stalls available for us to raid. After spending like 30 mins? we drove all the way back to Green Lane. Oh and on the way I wanted to try Uncle Burger...so I bought one. YUMS!

And thats all from our empty pasar malam story. Maybe next tuesday we'll be luckier? Maybe a bowl of Laksa lemak......*drool*

xoxo,

Having overly sweet mee goreng

Location: Esplanade

Raymond introduce us to this place. Apparently their Mee Sultan? (or something like that) is very famous and worth the try. I must say its overly sweet...its sugar sweet in our mee goreng.

Sorry for the poor quality of pics. Smarty me forgot to put the memory card back into my cam.

What a day

It was cloudy Tuesday.

I really felt like I needed company but most of my friends could not make it for lunch.......One of those days where everybody is not available and you desperately need em. So I went to church and spend some time with God. He definitely was a good company...Thank You God!

Gist of it, I was feeling down the whole day.

....till evening came and it was time for Hip-Hop. I always lose myself in Dance studios, for a moment there I forgot the issues I had and just enjoyed. Pure JOY! After class, myself and Kerry went for a drink....just some 'teh peng' and 'kopi peng' to cool ourselves down.

Had a good time laughing. Girl, you are so bubbly....always smilling. After a tough day, this was a nice way to end the night. Of coz we had to capture some moments to blog....LOL!

Kerry girl, did I forget to mentioned that I absolutely adore snapping pics. Love capturing moments!!

Typical Monday Blues

How I wish we only work 2 days and reverse 5 days for weekends. How I wish.....

Waking up on Mondays knowing that work is waiting SUCKS!

This calls for some indulgence.....*Food* Feel like having chinese today, well Aaron is on his way.....'ta-pao ing' for me. So sayang.

I miss my family in KL, I miss my sister, I need a break.....

Stange, I always feel these mix emotions more on MONDAYS!

Sigh!

Sooooo Cute

Isnt this adorable?? Thank you, Josie.....I absolutely Adore it! What a cute tutu....

Do u know this was hand drawn with a mouse, loco girl. LOL

XOXO,

The love for Starbucks

*Ever famous, Caramel Macchiato *

* Aww, heart them! Aaron & Liara *

* The crazy's *

* Starbucks Saint, looks like a nimbus aint it? *

* Aaron, "Are you measuring my face?" *

* Listening attentively to Liara while all these were taken, haih! *

XOXO,

A lifelong dream - recovered?

My dreams of attending a performing arts school is not that far away now.

My dream of attending a dance course is within my reach.

Last night Kerry told me briefly about Hillsongs College offering Dance & Theology courses @ Sydney, Australia.......and I told Aaron I'm surprised they have a Hillsongs Performing Arts College, and he asked me a strange question (or so I thought it was) ,

"Would you be interested??"

I sort of burried the dream of doing a dance course a while back when most of the school's/Uni do not accept people with my criteria ( Not a teen and no proper dance background - techniques). To my surprise, at Hills, the Only consideration is PASSION...which is exactly what I have and need to get accepted.

I can now continue to pursue my dreams.

Finally a chance to do what I like! I suffered throughout college life, studying something I dislike (but it was my responsibility to finish what I started), so I did complete my Degree in Computer Science Majoring in Software Engineering......not only did I complete the course, I graduated with flying colors. I thought working life would be easier, and boy was I proved otherwise. Waking up to a mis-fit job everyday is pure suffocation - it gets harder and harder, looking forward to only Fridays and welcoming weekends in full swing. Sounds depressing aint it?

So what keeps me going? With the knowledge that in everything I do, I need to Glorify God...yup that includes my work too. And praying hard for a career change. So to all students deciding what to study, take time to discover your character, your calling and search deep to identify what you want to become. Do not allow your career to suck the life out of you.

-------------------

I pray that finance would not be in the way. And if God willing, a year from now I should be pursuing my dream.

Thank you God for recovering my dream.
Thank you Aaron for always believing in me, no matter the situation. ( I love you!)
Thank you Kerry for being the message carrier

xoxo,

Goodbye Josie

A good colleague is leaving my department today..

..SAD!

Josie is more than a colleague to me, a true friend. Working life has been more interesting partly because of her.

Memories, memories, memories

We organized our ever first teambuilding *smiles*....and it has been by far the best. We journeyed together for 4 years, through many thick and suffocating times...we managed through. You listened to all my 'Complains', my hurts, my sufferings and of course laughters.

"Friends are special people.

We can't pick our family, and we're sorely limited in the number of them at any rate.

Society and mores (and often our own conscience) dictate we select a single mate.

But our friends can be as diverse and infinite as the adjectives we choose.

Our friends, in a very real sense, reflect the choices we make in life.

Thank you Josie, for being a part of my life."

Tetra Box Test wont be the same without your bubbly presence.

Am glad we had a chance to worked together!

xoxo,
