Writer’s Workshop: My Love, Hello

Love Quote

Love Quote

 

3248km

That’s how far you are away from me.

It’s not that near nor that far.

5hrs by Aeroplane is what it takes for me to travel  over to be with you.   8 hrs if you include travelling and waiting time at the airport.

Living apart on different islands.

Two of us in different cities due to our work and family commitments.

Working hard to be together  and pushing through the daily grinds of life.

Doing our best and giving our all.

Appreciating each other for who we are.

Individuals  joined together through the sacrament of marriage.

Different but yet the having the same ideals and dreams.

Bonded in LOVE.

Striving  towards our common goal a step at a time.

Trudging on even though we may be physically or mentally exhausted.

Both of us on this  life long journey  since we entered the institution of marriage 14 years ago.

A journey that has seen ups and downs.

Tears of joy and sadness.

Births and Deaths.

Euphoria and heartbreaks.

It isn’t easy   for me every time we have to part.

Dealing with the longing and  physical separation only makes my heart ache even more.

Counting down till we next meet

Fancy an ice-cream Sundae?

What would be your favourite flavor?

Tiger girl and I started doing Hama Bead Crafting last month. Since then we have done a couple of new pieces and as you can see her current obsession is on ice-cream.

A  Cherry Popsicle.

Tiger girl has been having a cough so I have made her refrained from  eating ice-cream. We have been “making” ice-cream though using the beads.

A Ballerina

Besides food related items that we made this ballerina which Tiger girl spotted on Pinterest.  My little girl loves pink and insisted that we started creating this particular one after printing out the template.

Pink Horse

Pink Horse

My girl really loves Pink. You can see the color here in this horse which we created. I added on the “Cutie mark” to this creation as it was suppose to be a relative to the My Little Pony series of Ponies which we created earlier on.

Rainbow bear and Love -A-Lot Bear

Rainbow bear and Love -A-Lot Bear

Besides ponies Tiger girl loves bears too. We create Rainbow Bear and Love -A-Lot bear based on the templates we found. I remember back then when I was  a child we used to watch the Care Bears on TV and I had a Love- A-Lot soft toy to cuddle.

Holding the Hama craft creations to play with is so much more fun then just seeing them in 2D. We created this mask using disposable chopsticks as the “stick” to support it. Surprisingly the hama beads were quite heavy and we required two sticks instead of one for the handle.

Totoro Keychain

Besides creating Hama crafts with the girl I made this Totoro Keychain above as a Valentine’s Day present for another friend of mine.
