I've been away for few days... time to spend time with family. Last two weeks been such a tough and sad moment to me...Relative of mine at age of 44 passed away caused of cancer, Al Fatihah... Really really sad moment... Visiting my parent was like a cure to me...how I wish I can visit them as frequent as I can and these are my new resolution for next year "to visit mak&abah as frequent as I could" .  Before that I went to Gleaneagles to visit neighbour that just had breast cancer operation and also Kak Miah's husband that admitted at Gleaneagles, also for cancer. Pretty traumatized for what had happened by looking at many number of peoples around me had cancer as if it was such a common sickness nowadays. On my way back to KL, I got to know Kak Miah Husband condition becoming worst and was really in bad shape, critical... and got the phone call the next morning, he passed away...

Oh Tuhan Aku hanya mampu melihat, tak mampu berbuat apa2,  sekadar doa.. Sekiranya ini yang ditakdirkan di hari-hari terakhir ini  semoga dipermudahkan segalanya, minta dikurang kesakitan...  dilepaskan bebanan penderitaan Dari Dia kita datang dan kepada Dia juga kita kembali Sesungguhnya kehidupan rapuh ini hanyalah sekadar pinjaman. //syam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22/12/11  Dari Dia kita datang, dan kepada Dia jua kita kembali. RIP Haleed:( Al Fatihah

Hi there.... do not ask me why the title of my post sounded like I am in the gloomy mood:) I couldn't explain of the inner state I felt at this moment due to hormone that been upside down lately..ha ha Hey what a great 2 days at Art for Grabs. It's been a while since I do bazaar and participating in AFG like a break, breathing space that I extremely need, after the hard work this 2 months...And I have met many wonderful people that gave an encouragement, compliment for my humble products I produced. Thank you so much I can't thank enough...and fellow crafter that being such a wonderful company and friends that drop by to give support..you know who you are... and YES this is such a worth break after all. House a bit chaotic at this moment with minor renovation on the roof and ceiling, so I am being very patient with the state of messiness at home and I am so glad that having the workshop at different place is the wise decision after all. I can't wait to meet

My second and last session teaching an Art Escape Programme at Petronas Gallery. I had a fun time teaching all this adorable kid a basic technique of silkscreen printing...22 kids attended a workshop...I like when one kid said I like to get my hand dirty... They are totally a different type of generation..2 of them even chose flame as their subject matter...and a dragon, because she inspired of Harry Potter. While during my time I will choose flower or house. Our exposure and the way we been brought up was so different and contrast. But kids will always be kids they are fascinated learning a new stuff...I definitely will miss them:)
