Little Things 222 : Japanese Crafty Books and Handiworks

The Japanese are famous with their artsy-crafty classes and collecting crafty knowledge in books, magazines and zines. I remember looking at Ma's craft books when I was small.

Little Things 221 : A Song for Goodbyes

They found me through Jobstreet and thought I might be a good candidate so we made an appointment to meet up for the second-phase interview *ma was so happy and excited when she heard that people are calling in to "offer" a permanent job =.='  I...

We survived our first year as husband and wife ! Thank you for putting up with my drama and experimental home-made cookings, and constant whines + random moods on my hormonal imbalance week, and my "I'm always right" and "You married a genius", and my awkward introverted attitude, and your  time, your love and your patience.  ❤ ❤ ❤ Here I made an illustration...
