Bunga Pahar Stokin In White And Gold Theme
I’ve never made bunga pahar stokin in white and gold theme. All these years, clients usually asked me to do bunga stokin in cream and gold or brown and gold combination.
So when this particular client asked me whether I could make bunga stokin in white and gold combination, I have to dig out all the stash in my craft room and see whether any of those materials will make one fine sample that speaks out to me..haha!
I hope once the client confirms her order I can find all the needed materials in the market. Some of the materials were bought like 3-4 years ago so there’s a possibility that things have changed and the shop no longer carry such stuffs..huhu!
Kad Raya Anyone?
When was the last time you received a physical Hari Raya card from anyone? A Raya greeting card from bank or insurance agent won’t count..haha!
Think back about the glory of receiving and sending Hari Raya cards, back in the days when people actually make effort to write a few meaningful words in a carefully chosen greeting cards, write the recipients address on the envelope, queue up at the post office counter to buy stamps, lick the stamp and post the cards.
I feel sad that friends and family no longer have the courtesy to do so. Everyone is so busy with their everyday life, as if everything else is no longer important.
Relationship needs effort to flourish and it has to be mutual.
