So i met her when we were still young, wide eyed, naive and eager to know what is this huge scare and woooo haaaaa about high school...to be honest i never wanted to go to that school...all my other friends were going to the other...i was going to be alone meaning new friends, new moods to handle, new faces and most of all i just got out of being " The Big Kid" in my school back to being the little one so here i thought Lu you on your own now you have a new life to face and unfold, OK lets do it.

So first day sucked because i was just left at the gate, yes i was one of the kids who never came for open day so i was stuck and followed the crowd..i know sucked, but here i was skinny and tall and smelt of new uniform and extra deodorant,  i walked on with pride. I gradually met a few faces i knew from my old school (primary) and thought hey this cant be bad so i started feeling relaxed and at home cause these faces i knew since i was in Pre-primary and we all rode "Malume's " taxi to school.

Than i met a few lost heads in class and thought hmm let me squeeze myself in here, and i fitted well. back to Her, she was quiet and weird, sat in front but had a familiar face somehow..i know her but from where, couldn't be from my old school, so we had to introduce ourselves and say which school we were from, than it clicked when she said she was from the school my bus passed every morning i must have saw her from than, i know sounds a bit stalker-ish but she stuck in my frame of reference for a reason. first weekend came and i went to church with my gran as usual, i walk up to the door and boom there she is again, so it must be from church too....cut long story short since than till now we been friends, and creativity soul buddies if i can call it that, but her work when i see it inspires me every time and its like the first all the time.

Since i reside in Joburg, I passed on one of the creations to her for a client in Durban so she will be able to meet and greet and communicate, and as quiet and folded as she is she sure does unfold the lashes of creativity through her hands. This is love for creation, passion, destiny. You don't go out and speak and shout out to the world you let your hands do the screaming...Ndalo is her name and she is my creativity soul mate.
