Fear Factor

Highlight of our recent trip over the weekend:

Its taste?
Totally bland.
Not salty, not sour, not sweet, not bitter.
Just … bland.

Disappointing.

Sunkissed

In a few more hours, we’ll be off across the border for some post-bday celebrations.

*excited*

Five past thirty

Here’s a sneak peak of last weekend’s pre-day celebration.

Lots more pix to edit and share.
Patience, ya?
Too little time, too much Life!

After an hour of BC, fellow warriors sprung a surprise on the actual night.
There was just *so* much love in the air. Woot~

*pssst*
I sneakily cut up & passed the entire cake to fellow gymmies.
Left none for self.
Meaning no calorie intake!

Lastly, another surprise from another group.
This time, from down South.

Brings back such sweet memories although none of their faces were in the collage.
LOL.

Thanks from the bottom of my heart, folks.

I am able to enjoy a happy and full life because of you all.
One really couldn’t ask for more.

Thank You!

For the FB wishes since late last week,
For the text messages since minutes before midnight,
For the sinful birthday cakes that kept pouring in,
For the handmade pressies & cards from your hearts,
For the generous hugs & kisses…

~ I am honestly well and truly blessed.

And baby, thanks for staying up to call me before closing your eyes to sleep tonight.

It just gets better and better each year. I swear!

35 years of Passion

I chose an unpopular path.
I’m not sure when and how I picked it but I did.

It wasn’t a light-bulb moment. More like a progressive evolution.

Over the past decade, I’ve came across a few crossroads.

Of tying the matrimonial knot.
Of having babies.
Of living as per societal standards.
Of what’s supposedly right and acceptable.

All types of options were presented to me in one form or other.
Some rather tempting and some not so palatable.

Some call it Fate,
Some call it Destiny,
I call it Passion.

It’s from my passion to live a full life with no regrets, for myself, that led me to all the decisions I’ve made in the past few years. And I am proud to say I have ZERO regrets from them all.

So what if I am less popular with some folks?
So what if eyebrows are raised when they look my way?
So what if accusations of selfishness are flung at me?
So what if I am labeled the black sheep?

I simply cannot apologize for choosing to live life truly, happily and freely, can I? You bet I can’t.

And I won’t.

Famous February Babies

Received an early birthday note from a faraway friend.
It’s been awhile since our last communication. So, his note was a pleasant surprise.

“I know your birthday is coming up and I’d just like to let you know that you share your birthday month with some pretty cool individuals.

Irish poet, James Joyce…
British novelist, Charles Dickens…
American inventor, Thomas Edison…

So, you are definitely in fine company!”

Thanks for your sweet note, buddy.

I will always remember the good times we had at Soho’s (your fav hangout spot when you’re in Penang) and your fun company. There is never a dull moment with you around for sure.

Live life full, eh!

A little space for a little person

They saw him approaching,
They read his body language,
They wondered what he was all about,
And when they realised who he was,
Sorry was what they felt for him.

So what if there’s a crazy-looking dude looking like he’s ready to pick a fight,
So what if he’s who he is,
So what if he’s sending out negative vibes as he stomped past us,
To quote Pink – So What

Ignore him, we did.
Had loads of fun, we did.
Went home happy and high, we did.

Sorry dude.
You are just not worthy of our time in person.
So, here’s a little space for you here.
Hope that makes you feel a little better.

Always

Taken 7 weeks ago.

Always a pleasure to see you,
Always great to catch up,
Always amazing how you make me smile.
Always.

Remember my request yeah?
I wanna meet ‘loo siao’.

LOL

New BC Hero

I’ve always been a fan of Glen Stollery, mainly coz of his very detailed BC updates. He’s the reason I don’t go into new releases ‘cold’. Thanks, Glen.

Anyway, I found a new BC hero recently (thx to Sweetheart for discovering him) and his name is Tommy Damani. Doesn’t mean I love Glen any less. Just one more person to go to for BC news and entertainment.

I swear, this Tommy dude is *so* entertaining and energetic! I read somewhere in an online forum that LMI (the body that owns BC) should hire this guy to do its marketing. I couldn’t agree more. His energy and enthusiasm is amazing! He makes newbies eager to try out BC and fanatics like us love BC even more.

What I love MOST about him is his willingness to share his passion with the world. Check out his BC tutorials here. World-class, I must say.

Recently, the issue of Tommy’s U-Tube vids on BC became a hot topic of discussion amongst BC fans/followers around the world. Read all about it here.

IMHO, it’s all a bunch of crap.
Really. There are thousands of U-tubes out there sharing BC music and chorry. Why single out this dude?

Guess there’s only one answer to that.
Because he is the BEST.

You go, Tommy!
You have true supporters here all the way in Penang, Malaysia.

Wall Project I

Rememeber this when I was playing around with ideas?

Well, I got the ball rolling and started on the 1st wall. I picked my shiraz (yup, that’s what ICI named the color) wall.
Like it?

I love it!

And here it is with the night light on, illuminating the lovebirds.

If you are interested in the creative process, go here.
It’s definitely gonna be a growing album.

Next:
New look for the kitchen glass.
