"I want Emila's cute handmade dolly because..."

My beloved friend Kak Emila Yusof is having a fabulous birthday giveaway. It's a super cute little Red & Green Ridinghood as shown above.

I really want Emila's cute handmade dolly because I am actually a big fan of Kak Emila. So getting a one and only handmade gift from her is super privilege. It will be my little companion to sleep along! The joy of participating and win is equivalent to getting the 1st prize in blog 4 FT!

I have been visiting her for a few times. Every meet ups are super fun and thrilling. Before I get to meet her in person, I admire her works through her blog. I am lucky to be invited to meet up with her, so naturally I got to see more of her up-close works . Her illustrations, craft and postcard series are just so adorable & uplifting, they are even more beautiful when you see, feel and touch them. I feel like collecting them....

Kak Emila is very thoughtful. She is giving away gift on her birthday and I wonder does she receive birthday gifts from friends and fans. I already gave Kak Emila a craft book two months ago. I am sure she got inspirations to create the above from there too.

Guess that you are convinced as why I should win.......

However, the rest of the contestants are also giving a lot of valid supporting reasons in order to win. I have tried my best to state my interests here and I am finger cross awaiting good news from Kak Emila. He..He..Don't disappoint me Kak Emila....please!

Last but not least, again I hope Kak Emila will win the second place at blog4FT as wished!

My story for "Season To Give" contest

There is a "Season To Give" contest at my artistic interior designer friend Ken’s blog about sharing your most precious present that you had received. If you would love to participate, please visit his blog and stand a chance to grab this beautiful candle holder specially designed by him.

My most precious presents are two books given by my late father during my primary school. He knew I like drawing so much, so he gave me this first art book entitled pattern designing for encouragement & inspiration.
My father was an avid singer and he used to sing at all occasions, be it at home, office, wedding dinner, competition….He gave me an International folk song manuscript and taught me to sing along with him. I really have fun with those session. (Sorry, I can’t locate this book at the moment)

Although he was not a Christian at that time but surprisingly he knew how to sing Christian Songs & Hymns….his favourite was Russian Songs.
I remembered I used to sing some of these folk songs during my school vocal exam; the teachers loved them so much! I was so thrilled too:)
Besides, I frequently followed my dad to Karaoke singing session during my secondary and college year. I remembered I got drunk together with my dad one time. Coincidentally, my uncle worked there and reported this incident to my mum, it was so embarrassing but my dad admitted his mistake so that it was our first & last experience to get drunk! Ha…Ha…
Truly, from very young I had been inspired by my late father to love art & music.
I am proud to have a great dad. He was so friendly just like my friend. I didn’t attend any tuition except for piano, so he was my tuition teacher for Additional Mathematic.
Although you are not around but your high spirit and passion toward work & play have inspired and moulded me to continue my mission as a successful artist and loveable person just like you. Yeah, thanks dad for the best you have given me made me who am I today!
