a continuation for my Ōsaka and Kyotō trip, no worries, i am not going to write another travelogue to blast everyone, but to (pretend to be very generous to) giveaway some "souvenirs" to my readers.. during this trip in the autumn, one of the things i like must be those colorful autumn leaves found almost everywhere.. hence when i was around Naniwa-no-miyaato (難波の宮跡) and Ōsaka-jō (大阪城 Osaka Castle), i ignored people who might be staring and picked some red maple leaves fallen on the ground.. some readers asked if i picked any leaves back home to make them into bookmarks, of course i did, not make them into bookmarks (which is so common) but these pictures as shown above.. yes, these are what i am going to giveaway, to the four readers who have left the most comments in my recent four posts written about this trip (i know not many will like this hence i just did four)!! though something i picked from the street and not valuable at all, but i spent buckets of effort to make them, they all are surely unique and none the same as others, though the red leaves have turned brown now, hehehe!! hope those who got it will not find me cheapskate, alright alright, i'll add on two boxes of candy bought from Japan then, hope they will like it!! :)
i gaveaway prizes to the top commenters for my two recent trips, i think it should be fair that there is no "lucky draw".. to me, if everyone comments, then the ones who show most support with most number of comments should get something, and not the ones who didn't spend much effort but are lucky enough after some random numbers picked.. this is my way to give prizes, there is no free lunch, i believe that if we want something we must work hard towards it, the one who gave most effort shall have the most returns.. to make it short, you don't have to think much, just put lots of commments here in my blog and that's it!! :D
Congrats to the winners, lucky recipients of these handmade, imported raw material, money-cannot-buy souvenirs - made with much care, and love too, SK? :p
Thanks for the big surprise…before opened it I was wondered why the envelope so big…plus stated as "Please Do Not Fold" some more!!! So scared I fold it accidentally lo, hehe!!!
Also have to say your artwork is way more nicer than mine….feel like those I made are like kindergarden's works only (I'll try harder on my artwork next year, hehe)

Congrats to Angeline, Hayley, LouizYee and 小影. SK is so thoughtful and sweet. He always thinks of his readers wherever he goes. All SK's DIY gifts are precious. So, please treasure those DIY gifts when you ladies receive it.
If SK went to Osaka and Kyoto in year 2012, then the winners list would be totally different. Muahahah! Lina and meow, please don't jibe me. The winners list would be lina, meow, ah hua and yannie la!
I should thank you all, include TM also. Not because of him, we can't be the winner this round... hahaha. Just joking lar. We are all here to support and not aiming for any prizes. We comment on what we feel to write. Not in purpose but really enjoying while reading his blog - especially his Japan travelogue.
Yan, surely we will treasure this gift! I have mentioned more about it below, it doesn't matter what the gift is, the most important thing is the thought and heart. Same goes to me when I give presents to my readers. I hope my readers think this way too! I know SK spent so much effort in DIY-ing his gifts for his readers ;) That's why he has so many supporters!!
Well, I was busy this morning. Didn't realized that I have a special document left on my table after lunch. Oh is from SK. I wonder what he got for me this time. Excitedly open it and found these dry maple leaves which I had mentioned in my comment that Sk should brought some back as bookmark.
He really brought back for a good reason beside keeping it as a bookmark for himself. He brought back for us - special and custom made for us! Hehehe... of course we are not aspected who will be but his effort of doing it really makes my heart feel so touching.
I am not too sure whether SK will have a new post tomorrow, I definitely won’t have one. I am going for my New Year eve shopping spree in Penang with my loved ones. Here I wish SK have a very Happy New Year 2014. Do forget the upset and ugly part of the year, and only cherish the happy and beautiful part of the year. Since I am not going to have a New Year post, so I just write my feeling of year 2013 here. Hope you don’t mind SK. Though I am not one of the winners this time, I think I manage to put in my comment at least one in all your posts in year 2013. So, I can consider as one of your hard core spammers still. I don’t have anything regret in year 2013, but I did have some unhappy moment, like I dropped my half year old Smart Phone into jamban and I grew two giant acnes on my chin (luckily, it had vanished.) Other than that, all things are good for me in year 2013. What about you, SK? May be you can share with your review of year 2013.
Yan, nice to read this from you! In fact, nice to know that you still got some times to spam SK's blog, though you already gone missing in my blog, heh heh ;)
Sorry to hear about your smart phone, RIP Yan's smart phone ;) But, 所谓旧的不去新的不来,so, never mind, at least you got another smart phone now (I guess?) I miss you ladies la! Hopefully we can meet up during CNY. Enjoy your shopping spree! Happy New Year 2014 to you and family!
