Grieving for my online best friend

I am so sad and grieving for my best friend that I met online. She passed away peacefully on 5th September 2010.

It is so strange that we never met but we can established a friendship so strong online.

We chatted daily online and only recently she is too tired to chat online daily. It is although CC is living next door to me. We shared many nice memories and secrets and she loved to make me laugh with her funny jokes. She is my inspiration and taught me many things about sewing and stories about vintage books of sewing, crochet, etc.

I designed and made an agar agar with a cat's pattern specially for my best friend online, CC of Texas. I called it Happy Katt Agar Agar, my friend, CC loved it so much. It is not easy doing the agar agar cause of so many patterns involved.

In return, CC designed an Oriental SueSunbonnet for me. She even wrote some very nice words for me.

Quoting this from CC's Blog .

Quote:
Allow me to introduce Sue in one of her favorite outfits.
You see, Sue has a wonderful friend and her name is Alice. She lives in Singapore and she invited her little country cousins to come visit her beautiful country. Well, only Sue could go.
Alice met her at the airport, (the big beautiful one that Alice blogs about)..and off they went. Alice had told Sue so much about her country and Sue couldn't wait to see all the beautiful sights.
Well!! Sue, being from the country..was so amazed and astonished, she was almost speechless..almost!! :). Alice took her everywhere..all over and Sue was able to see so many lovely things..and the food. The food was the best Sue had ever, ever tasted. You see, Sue's favorite food is Chinese. And so,the adventure went to food and shopping, shopping and eating..there were so many tasty tidbits and so many beautiful shops...little Sue was overwhelmed.
The last night there, there was a huge parade and get together..Sue was dancing around and suddenly noticed, she had lost her shoes..and just then Alice took her picture. But it's okay...Sue was in a beautiful dress, with her gold basket to hold some of the shopping.
Finally, it was time to go back to the farm..Sue thanked Alice and her lovely family for such a wonderous time,and invited them to come visit the farm.

My World Tuesday - School is out

School is out and time for the kids to have much fun at the playground. While mummy goes shopping, the kids can have fun at the playground at Vivo City. This week is the school holiday for the kids. It is just only a short one week school holiday. Looking forward to the year end long school holiday from November to December for secondary school kids and mid November to December for primary school kids.



Wanted to bring my little niece for a movie but there isn't any nice movie to watch.

Please visit "That's my World" for other parts of the world.

Vivo City - A day at the mall

Just one of the days to hide from the hot weather, it is to stay cool in air conditioned mall...lol.

Vivo City is one of my favourite place for shopping and meeting up with friends.

The mall is very big and it really attracted a lot of people with so many different promotions and events going on in the mall.

A treasure hunt is going on in the mall. 30 teams will looked around the mall trying to find some treasures and also do some challenges. The prizes are quite attractive.

School is out and kids are out to play. These balloons are really attracting the younger kids.

Vivo City - Exhibition

Skywatch Friday - Bugis Junction

As mentioned, Bugis Junction was converted from old shophouses. A glass roof was added to connect the shophouses and the best thing was whenever it rained, shoppers wont get wet walking around the streets. The streets are now tiled beautifully. You wont noticed that it was once a street.

Part of the Intercontinental was converted from shophouses too. The taller building of the hotel was added.

Looking at the sky through the glass roof.

My grandparents used to stay in these old shophouses in another district. They too had similar windows like the above photo of the old shophouses.
