The Prince and I

 

I hope the heart and love day went well for everyone

I have been quite occupied lately with the preparation for my university Inaugural Convocation. Few rehearsals and having to re-write the script But it is almost over .... This morning we have the final full dressed rehearsal at the venue and it went well. Tomorrow, 16th February 2009 our first badge - 32 graduands from various countries - of Chartered Islamic Finance Professional will be conferred their degrees.

Oh, I almost get carried away ... actually I would like to talk about this charming Prince that I met at the bookstore at Petronas Twin Towers not long ago. He is the most handsome and educated Prince in the country . When I was a student he was the Pro-Chancellor (the youngest Pro-Chancellor, maybe in his early 30's) in the University that I was studied. During my convocation, my friends and I - being young and naive - were hoping that he would be the one who conferred the degree to us. But alas, he came only for the morning session and we didn't get a chance to shake hand with him . Few months ago, I met this Prince in person when I was browsing at the Politics and International relations section! At first I didn't realise it was him. He was standing right beside me .... I noticed there's a big and tall guy beside me but I didnt pay attention until he walked to the other side of the shelf, which means he's infront of me - the shelf is not so high because it is more of a display shelf for new arrival and best sellers. My heart stop beating! Even though he's now in his 50's! And I was to shy to even smile The following Saturday, I hanged out at the same bookstore again while waiting for my facial appointment at 11.30 am. I normally will stopped at the new arrival and bestsellers to check what the latest books. And guess what! He - The Prince! - was there at the same section!!! I thought I was dreaming ... but when I pinched myself, ouch! he's real!

But what I would like to talk about today is not that Prince.

It's different Prince.

My Prince. The Prince of my heart! Take a look!

To him .... I am the Princess And here's the Princess ... waiting ....

The above sketches are among my newly found hobby I have been playing with pencils and eraser lately - trying to get my right brain to work . LOL .

There's already a homework waiting for me - Herbie has commissioned me to skecth the Valentine roses that he sent yesterday!

But he has to wait patiently .... otherwise if I get angry I may end up sketching him 10 years older Errrr .... I am just kidding Darling ..... Pssstttt, I have to skecth whatever he ask me , otherwise I may not get my new Derwent pencil set.

Love - Larra
