its 4am here.

i'm really tired but i have to stay awake to ensure my files do get across

its one thing to be working, another to try to holiday and work at the same time.

oh well, anything better than no holiday at all right?

wrong, not when the holiday is anything but rain

its been raining here, whoever told me to bring less clothes

... be prepared for the heat is so going to get it from me

i brought really thin clothes thinking that the heat of the weather might kill me

but as i sit in the living room, typing these keys

I'm in actual fact freezing my arse off...


there are alot of things that are on my mind as i travel this holidays...

but above all that, i wonder what might be in her head

coming back to where she used to grow up

i bet she must be reconsidering if she should really give it all up.


I believe that at any point of our lives, we have to make certain decisions that would impact my lives largely

and there is never a right nor wrong decision since, there is never a right nor wrong in how you should live your life

who is to tell you that being who you are today is not exactly how you are supposed to be since the day you were born?

who is to tell you that whatever that you say, like, dislike, etc is wrong and unfit for you to say, feel, etc?

who is holding to the ny bible and watching my every move to ensure that i'm becoming the ny i'm supposed to be

as stated in the ny bible?

should you know any whereabouts of such a book, please let me know... :)


‘To live is an awful big adventure ’—Peter Pan

something I'm taking off this blog i read

there is no one who can dictate your adventure,

no one rule over your how big or how small

how short or how long

no one but you... decide if its an adventure or tragedy


well, i'm obviously saying all these cos i've been storing and feeling nothing but negativity these days

so hopefully, i can see the bigger picture and feel better

so so... let me talk abit about the trip!

pictures weren't that great, travelling in a pair means you either get lonely people pictures

or cold pictures with no warmth of any signs of people in it

and if you're really unlucky and have a travelling partner who can't shoot for nuts...

then you have a library of memories of which, your kids will ask

"where were you mommy?" and doubt the reality of your stories


haven't really done much of the holidaying frankly

so besides visiting movie world, we did not do anything else.

why am i moody you ask? cos if i dun do any holidaying now, the next few days will be worse

with it being limited to visiting relatives and helping out in the house.

then again! look up, chin up, i've at least going to get 3 hours of sleep...

...

yay

dreaming with eyes wide open

today is a very tiring day, all packed with meetings and final artworks to the printers and clients

argh.

but after i uploaded the audio file of joe's recital, and while listening to stefanie sun in the hope to stay awake

i dream of being a superstar...

singing jazz and having a band that simply clicks when we play...

maybe we are performing, or maybe we are just playing and enjoying ourselves... every minute of it


though, the reality of that may be far...

the fact is, its important as a singer to have a unique voice, a singing character in itself that entices people to your music

something that i'm afraid i lack...

ah heck who cares, who is going to stop me from uploading my original music?

ha.


i remember the dream i once had

i was a singer for this bar/restaurant

it was really odd cos there wasn't any musician at all

it was just me and my voice, and there wasn't even a mic

cos what i did was, I had to walk and sing from table to table

well, i will never forget my voice in the dream...

it was very low, husky and damn sexy... heh

was telling lyn that i wished i suffer from a permanent sore throat

heh, but that wouldn't be wise... wuld it?

:)


scarlett, we need to do more gigs!

dreaming, with eyes open wide

peter and pork - lil' joe

i have got to upload this before i forget or get too busy


was talking to my cousin about talking picture and recordings of his kids


cos they do grow up so fast...


then i remember i did this recordings of joe's recital of 2 little tweety birds, she sang twinkle twinkle lil stars and 10 little indian boys.


so here they are, give a good listen to 2 little tweety birds and you'll realize why the title.


Enjoy!

shang hai trip

jeanne finally passed me the photographs that were taken for the trip

frankly, the camera suck so bad i din't really feel like putting them up

but then there won't be any memories of the trip, even though it wasn't great... it was worth remembering nonetheless

its my first trip with my parents after a long time... i hope they did enjoy themselves

the places we went to weren't exactly clean and all, i had my share of complains about the cleanliness etc

my dad seemed to fit in well with their terrible habits of spitting and shouting and rude conversations...

but at the end of the trip, he seemed like he wouldn't return to china for another trip, ha.



half the trip was spent in the car travelling and sleeping

the only thing i truly enjoyed myself was eating Japanese food in the restaurants cos they were so cheap.

Well, the trip was overall ok... abit of rubbing of shoulders with my dad cos we're both stubborn

but when we ate, we drank and were merry.



so when's the next trip back to china? Hopefully.... never.

well, thats me, not sure about jeanne.

sindi's birthday party

something that is long overdued

promised everyone that i would put up the video along with the selected images...

so here it is.

just remembered there is still my shanghai trip images too

funny how everyone heard about the trip and all the details but haven't seen anything of it.

well, i'll put it up in-between work tomorrow.

tonnes to do for my australia trip!

haven't even gotten my visa and we're leaving next tuesday! argh.

and i haven't even done my research of that place... dreadful.

i can't possibly waste my time and money going there and not visit places i ought to...

sigh

totto kit

its been quite a hectic week, as a matter of fact, i might say it has been a hectic month.

from the bangkok trip to today, it has been nothing but a mad rush

rush for the 15 sale, rush for the closing of work for the holidays... rush if possible for more products for domestikats

well. for the long trip ahead, even though i'm worried that i'm not prepared enough

i'm more worried about the animals.

if totto will get bullied when we're away,

if she would run away from home

if she will be ok without me cos she's so hostile to strangers

if she'll get enough love...



hmm, maybe i'm not really worried about the animals but totto alone.

i do love her so dearly... i wonder why

she gives me this need to love her cos she's so misunderstood, so mistreated...

this feeling that she deserves more...



if hl reads this, if i die, me and lyn decided that i should leave totto to your care

you'll grow to love her evil stares

her painful scratches

her crazy rampage of your clothes and furniture

her frantic wags of her tail

and the warmth of her licks before she sleeps

totto is such a sweetheart :)



there are of cos reasons why i don't have to worry about the rest of the animals...

my gf's family loves dogs, so the dogs are in good care

my tenants love eli to bits, plus he's very easy to be with, so eli is in good hands

pe'an, momo and mutt are easy cats, so long they get fed, have water to drink, they draw love from each other so...

jayde on the other hand, gets enough from just being distracted by insects/lizards/whatever that flies or drops in her path...

totto is the only then.


well. no excuses. i love totto.

silly us

forgot this image that was part of the bangkok retreat. silly us

bangkok retreat dec 07

pictures, pictures and more pictures.

can i please repeat myself? I LOVE MY LEICA! :P

i love uploading pictures cos when things ain't exactly going my way

nothing cheers me up more than looking at great pictures of fun.

i really enjoyed this trip, there was great accommodation, great food, great entertainment

but most of all, i had great company!

special thanks to my travel mates for making it possible, esp Yin. ;)

Christmas sale @ la pizzaiola!

Christmas sale @ la pizzaiola with mellow and cheap charlie!

we had tonnes of fun, though I must say I was so tired.

just to rush out some of the things i was selling i couldn't sleep at all.

so end up, i fell asleep during the sale and poor HL (cheap charlie) had to oversee my
sales!

oh well. it was fun. it was my first time. i made some profits. heh

it was raining and even so, my family came by and supported

my favourite things were bought by them

they were delicious pokercards

with the pokercards' cover the designs of the CAO CAI MAO

will be making more stuff and uploading them for sale soon

look forward to more bags, tees and all

but first of all, i really need to tie down the arrangements with cats welfare and SPCA

so support for a good cause.



website is still down, plus i really need to write out the rationale of creating the brand

people keep asking and its embarrassing to not answering promptly and properly.

took new pictures to create another series, really need to plan the shots more

though i really love candid shots.



well, looking forward to more sales and more importantly, more exhibits in this coming new year with mellow...

that is if mellow wants to do it with me...

after all, i'm so amateurish at this.

exhibitions! exhibitions! exhibitions!

Briel the red riding hood

Been asking Jen to pass me this video to upload.

please see how similar the brothers are. :)

will be uploading images of the christmas sale soon after. wow, tonnes of things to upload.

whee....

pet project

this came about like when I was still working in YO...

its been really a long time and now, I'm digging it out to do something about it.

Well, why not. I have tonnes of cats pictures and graphics I might as well do something with them.

was just going thru every one of my friends' blogs

so random... i like.

mui says that blogs are like that, they should be random thoughts being penned down

i wonder if my blogs are random...

as in, i do plan my blogs... with images and videos.


frankly, now that i used this blog for uploading videos and pictures

and allowing everyone I know to view this blog

I'm like paving the way to making this blog a projector

and nothing personal

how can i? maybe even my mom reads or visits this blog just to see the images and videos...


so weird, my alarm clocks goes off at this hour, everyday...

and i have no idea how to change it, or turn it off.

so so...

mui, crab and myself were thinking of selling stuff this sat...

so watch out for more stuff from there.


support people, buy stuff! gimme your money.

heh.

crabby's birthday 2007

its the crab's birthday and we took tonnes of pictures.

we actually took 2 days to celebrate it. but none of the two days were the real day itself...

cos as usual, missy crabby is always on leave on her birthday. :)

I hope she enjoyed herself.

for the first time, i took tonnes of pictures for her birthday, or anyone's birthday for that matter.

so can i just say it again, i love my new cam.

besides this birthday, I still have Sindi's birthday celebration pictures to put up...

there's so much to do... yawn.

there's plenty of work to finish and i still have our recent bangkok trip pictures to put up too.

i woke up really late to go into work, so ended up working from home

the cats were really happy cos for a long time now, i haven't really stayed home to keep them all company

they just laid there on my bed, all 6 of them and slept

every now and then, looking up to make sure I'm still there in the room...

i love my animals.

animal therapy

my animals that have kept me sane, all 8 of them.

every one with an odd character behind the face

every one with a sweet behavior to come along for taste

every one that i love and know its not an animal phase

animal therapy

perfect chinese translation

was working on a project that brought a lot of fun into doing chinese typography

so i ended up not sleeping and working on badges that who knows will want to buy

well, as far as I'm concerned, I'll wearing them cos I like the messages, ha

been working on a few things, also drawing a few illustrations and hoping to animate them

well, thats if this busy cousin of mine finds time to teach



visited china this year, my first time and perhaps my last

didn't really enjoy it very much, haven't gotten my hands on the images that were taken with my sister's lousy camera

if only i had my camera then...

being there din't help in making me feel any more deeper rooted into my chinese origins...

at least not to the current state of culture.



well. i'm selling these badges. buy them.

buy them. buy them. buy them.

eli the clown part 2

just realised that the video is only half of what it actually is.

and as usual, the good things are behind.

Enjoy, eli the clown, part II.

Wii day, all we did was play!

yes, i bought a wii game set... whee....

the kids came over to play after we had a morning birthday breakfast with aunt mary

and i brought my new camera along to take pictures.

i love my new cam.

even though someone else got about the same deal at half the price of mine...

even though i feel like a sucker who paid double the price for the brand...

even though everything about both the cameras are alike... except for the brand...

yes, i love my new cam.

oh well.

tonnes and tonnes of pictures from now onwards you'll see here on this blog.

not one, not two but as many as possible just to upload and share

pictures of the kids, pictures of the cats, pictures of my office...

and videos of my mom and aunt playing boxing... now thats something to remember for life.

eli the clown

eli the clown never fails to amuse and amaze.

it was a quiet sunday night dinner and you won't really expect anything eventful coming out of it

and yet, eli proved me wrong. he gave me a video to remember

both brothers are really photogenic and full of shit. :P

Here are some images of a boring sunday dinner.

enjoy.
