A beautiful morning in Santubong.
Mount Santubong standing quietly in the distance — steady, timeless.

Sometimes the journey doesn’t begin with noise. It begins with a quiet moment like this. 🌿⛰️

Throwback to my first visit to Uncle Henry’s workshop on 1 December — the 85-year-old master wood carver patiently walked me through every tool: the different chisels, gouges, mallets, rasps, and everything in between. I just stood there soaking it all in, surrounded by decades of his beautiful work.

Fast forward to today — my second proper class — and Uncle Henry wasted no time. Straight to hands-on: he handed me a rough chunk of hardwood and said, “Okay, today you make your own mallet.” 😅

3 hours (and a mountain of wood shavings) later, here it is — my very own hand-carved mallet. Still rough around the edges, but I made it from scratch and I’ll be using it for every project from now on.

So grateful to be learning this craft from a true legend. Thank you, Uncle Henry. More updates coming as I slowly get better! 🪵✨

My First Leather Craft Adventure✨
Diving into the world of leather crafting for the first time, and my heart feels so full! 🧡 My amazing teacher generously shared their knowledge and techniques, guiding me through a 3-hour journey. I learned how to identify different types of leather, handle vegetable-tanned leather, and use various tools. The result? A super cute leather shoe keychain crafted by my own hands! 😍 My teacher even gifted me some leather scraps as a sweet keepsake. So grateful for this incredible mentor who brought a touch of magic to my creative path. Every stitch feels like weaving a moment of calm into my soul. 🌿 Have you ever tried leather crafting?
