Lost Art of Letter Writing

My dear sisters, this has been one of those lazy Sunday afternoon with practically every single family member away doing something fun or meaningful except 'yours truly'. As I looked 360 degrees around my room, well, everything looks in-place and spotless to me. I wonder if you are the same way, but if I notice my picture on the wall just 5 degrees tilted to the right or my table lamp is 2 cm off center, I can’t wait another second to shift them back to their rightful positions. When my belongings – be it apparel, paperwork, household knicks knacks (and now those thousands BYJ pictures and videos) are not properly organized, categorized, I will walk around feeling my life is not in order, incurably out of control. Hahaha, I hope I don’t sound too much like a freak!


Anyway, so I decided I am going to use this quiet and leisure afternoon to go through some old dust-covered letters hidden at the back of the cabinet. These letters were means of exchange with my girlfriends back in the old days, long before the popularity of emails and cell phones. What beautiful memories they bring back with each line expressed such caring and love between 2 innocent young women. The pure and warm words scripted on those pretty craft paper embossed with floral and butterfly motifs. Regrettably these friends are long lost and have become a part of my fading memory only. How I long for that glorious era of letter writing again!


I find this ‘lost art’ back in the wonderful BYJ world. Floral motifs are now replaced with the gorgeous face of our King but the pure love and warmth shared in the letters between the ‘young at heart’ women are of the same nature. We find another medium to express our admiration for our noble King. I especially like the softness and tranquility in these designs, thanks to conan and yahcho for their original artworks. Please enjoy!
