Something Made

A birthday card for a friend's 21st bday... it's quite a challenge to make a card for a guy without making it end up too girly.


A try at cream puffs... Yum...


Not so Red Velvet cupcakes. I really like the cream cheese frosting!

A Friend-ly Gifts

First of all,

I received a package from my friend from singapore for my bday but she sent it by seamail which took almost a month to reach. Another friend sent me a letter which I can now declare lost! It has been more than a month and I still haven't received it >.<

Apparently, the seamail was not only slow (but it arrived a little earlier than I expected) but it also smashed the box!

My roommate and I had a good laughed from the state of the box and also from the "memos" that my friend wrote below my address. I wondered if the postmen read it and laughed. If they did, good for them!

Read the "NOTE:..."
I finally have the alphabet stamp set!



She gave me some punches and adhesive sheets, which I'm still thinking of what to use them for.
I made this out of a recycled box to store the stamps and the punches.

Secondly,

A friend who I have known for quite long, and also who I have not met for quite some time, sent me something all the way from LONDON! I was guessing if he's going to send me something when he asked for my address out of the blue, and also because he visited ANFIELD!!! i'm sooo jealous! I will visit the home of Liverpool Football Team one day.... some day...hopefully... before they move to a new stadium.

Yes, I'm a liverpool fan and no, I don't want to comment anything about their performance this season.

I quickly framed the signed picture of steven gerrard as soon as I got it! hehe...

everything is beautiful in His time

I came across this. I'm not sure what's the source as the author didn't put it, but I find it real meaningful.

everything is beautiful in His time

I asked God to take away my pride and God said “No”. He said it was not for Him to take away, but for me to give up.

I asked God to grant me patience and God said “No”. He said patience is a by product of tribulations. It isn’t granted, it is earned.

I asked God to give me happiness and God said “No”. He said He gives me blessings, happiness is up to me.

I asked God to spare me pain and God said “No”. He said suffering draws me apart from worldly cares and brings me closer to Him.

I asked God to make my spirit grow and God said “No”. He said I must grow on my own, but He will prune me to make me fruitful.

I asked for all things that I might enjoy in life and God said “No”. He said He will give me life, that I may enjoy all things.

I asked God to help me love others as much as He loves me and God said “finally you have the idea!”
