In Memory Of Maksu...

I dont know how to start this entry, i've been staring at my lappie screen and wondering the right way to say it. We lay her to rest this morning at 10 am. Finally she left us to meet her creator, the almighty Allah swt. My tears are cheap..they drop at every second and every thought of her.

I was at mom's place when we received the call from my uncle yesterday (22/7) at 3.30 pm. My heart cringe looking at mom sobbing. She has lost her only sister. She said she felt so alone, all i could do was nod and pretend to hear her words. I felt pain in my chest and suffocated, perhaps because i was crying so hard. I have never felt this kind of sadness i dont even know how to describe.

After almost 2 years of battling cancer, she passed away peacefully at the age of 47. For the past 2 months i've been her constant visitors. I listen to her cries of pain, to her rambling and her hope for tomorrow. Every now and then i utter words of courage, or perhaps lie. Told her she'll be able to walk outside the house soon, that she'll get better so that she can perform her 'umrah' again. So many dreams...

She's in good place now..i know she'll be among his many angels, my beautiful aunt is a good wife, mother and friend. Letting go is the hardest thing to do. Despite being reminded that she no longer suffer in this painful world..i am still selfish to want her to be with us. I pray to be forgiven for my sin. Rest in peace dear maksu..i miss u so much!!! Al Fatihah....

More Scrapbook goodies...

I did a stop at papier yesterday and yeah cant resist the yummy prima flowers on display. I got the Tim Holtz Compedium book too and...i did one special layout based on the tutorial in the book. Cant reveal it yet. Look out for it in Aug! lol.

Seriously u guys should drop by the store soon. I went bonkers looking at the flowers and  limit myself to only 3 packets! Duuhhh..I stock up on other items too. After paying and looking at my receipt i noticed that i have accumulated around 5300 points!! Which also means..i have been spending that much at papier alone! hahaha..better hide that receipt from Mr Hubby.

I'm also a member of Craft Heaven and Whimsical Articles and yeahhh did a massive amount of shopping there too. When is enough? i can never tell. The moment i said to myself i'm not spending suddenly there... staring in front of my laptop screen the latest arrival!! and the countless sms on discounted scrap items everyweek. How do u resist? Perhaps if someone have an idea to curb this madness of mine..please share.

If everything else failed...hhhmmmm perhaps i shud just toss the car key to Mr Hubby!! Hahaha..no transport no shopping!!! lol...

A great find!

Something to share.
