A very very Happy New Year to all my friends and supporters!!! Hope my greetings doesn't come too late :D Hahahahaaa...
How was your New Year or New Year eve? Seems like most people celebrates on the eves rather then the actual day itself. But whatever it is, I really hope the new year will be filled with peace, happiness and prosperity in every part of the world. Might be a little be difficult but I hope my wish can come true. I hope everybody can be more conscious of saving our mother earth...switch off your electricity when its not in use...don't leave it on for convenience sake...don't leave it on simply becos' its the company who is paying the bills.....be more conscious of the way we use water...many of us let water runs like nobody business...think of how we use water during washing...brushing teeth...cleaning. Many people in this world are not as fortunate as us who have clean water to use everyday...yet we take it for granted. Make good use of papers...Don't print unnecessarily....try to recycle paper that still can be used. There are so many ways we can do our little bit for our mother earth...if only all of us are more conscious.
Time passed by so fast. Is there anything you wanted to do but yet to do in 2007? Do it in 2008 then :D What is your proudest moment in 2007? What is the happiest thing that have happened to you in 2007? Remember to spend more time with your family. Many of us spend more time at work or with friends and neglect our family..taking them for granted cos they are always there with us. Live a meaningful life. There are so many people who are less fortunate then us, remember to share your love and happiness with them. To be able to share is a blessing.

Special Request

2007-09-16T22:05:00.000+08:00

Hi friends. Really sorry for not being able to update my blog so regularly. Been rushing some orders. Here's 2 of the bag charms I made recently for one of my friend. The pics are not so well taken due to the poor lighting...
The one on the top is made up of rose quartz, sugilite, fresh water pearls, amethyst & swarovski. The one below is a rather sweet girlie piece, made up of fluorite, fresh water pearl & light pink faceted quartz. Can't wait to start on my new ideas as soon as I finished clearing all the outstanding orders :D These 2 weeks had been really busy for me! Though busy but happy :p All of us should live each and everyday happily & meaningfully. Dwelling too much on the past or think too much on what's going to happen in the future isn't going to help much. What past is past, just let go cos its no longer approriate. Nobody knows what's going to happen in the future. Planning is good but too much thinking will only make us more stressful. Anything too little or too much is no good. Just do your very best on what u should do at this moment. Live your life with no regrets, so that when u look back, u can tell yourself u did your best with conscience. Cherish what you have now cos u never know when u will lose them...We cannot turn back time so dun wait till u lost them.
