CQ gets an Award!

Now, this post is kind of too late ...nevertheless CQ was so touched - well it brought tears to CQ's eyes - and appreciate the warm friendship with this super always-bubbly-cheerful young lady - Azura.

Azura presented this 'Friends' Award to CQ

" These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to 8 bloggers who must choose 8 more. "

Wishes for You

Happy Birthday to Sayangkuazura

May you have a blasting birthday and be happy always!

CQ would like to dedicate this post especially to a dear friend whom CQ got to know her on the blogger-sphere by chance. She is Azura.

Azura is a lively and ambitious young lady who has a wonderful life ahead of her before being stricken with lupus about three years ago. Getting to know her through her blog, CQ learnt how she coped with the pain, stress, mood swings, sadness and happiness times and many other unexpected turn of events in her life.

Nevertheless, Azura is always surrounded by her devoted families and caring friends. A strong-willed lady who has a passion for cooking, Azura runs her own Absolute Gourmet Malaysia Cafe.

CQ hopes to meet Azura some day in Kuala Lumpur. As for you, my dear friend - Azura ...stay positive and believe in yourself. May Allah bless you always ...
