Of This And That... And Those Too

Tuesday...the 2nd week of July. How time never stands still even if we want to.

I've just noticed that lately i have been lazy with postings and doing more picture posts of Dommy. Well.. Curly is happiest to see his picture up for almost every post of course. He is even grinning beside me as i am typing this.. yes yes.. you are more famous than Piper now.. *LOL*

These past month i have just been at home. Just a working and cooking and working and cleaning and working.. and thank god for sleeping.. hahahhahaa... (i love the sleeping part most). Haven't been out taking pictures too except the cat at the porch whose a very willing model almost every morning :) And then there's the cats at the back lanes... but i usually capture them from the window else my neighbours (who are usually watching from their windows) would be thinking that i have finally gone cuckoos.. hehehhehee

They see me in the garden with the camera with Dommy.. they see me early in the morning at 7.30 taking pics of cats on the porch.. sometimes they see me trying to take pics of clouds.. and then i was taking pictures of the bottle brush.. hehehhee.. I can sense that they are shaking their heads while saying... this girl got nothing better to do *LOL*

I really wanna go to the beach... sink my feet in the sand.. and just watch the waves. That gives me peace of mind. Not that my life is not peaceful.. hahahhaa.. It is it is peaceful. Dad don't nag me so much nowadays. He seems to understand that i need to work late sometimes. (hope he doesn't find out that i am spending time blogging as well) Then he'll really nag the living daylights outta me *LOL*

Dad is busy nowadays with his new handphone which we got him for Father's Day. This time sis got a bit smarter and buy a heavier phone so that it doesn't slip outta his pockets easily. He is busy playing sodoku on it every afternoon when he's not on the computer and at night before he sleeps. Now he doesn't play the games on the gameboy. He loves playing these games like Spider Solitaire and Tetris... Word Games... Crossword Puzzles.. he's very good at it. Now his new craze is Sodoku.

He takes tons of pictures on his mobile. He did mention why the pixels for the pictures were not great on the mobile... hehheheee.. We didn't buy him an expensive phone because he forgets easily. The first day he used it.. he came back from the shops and told me.. When he got out from the car.. his new phone fell on the ground.. He happen to look down on the road and said.. Hey! that looks like my phone.. hahahaha.. Both of us laughed about it when he told me about it. I told him never mind laa.. if you lose it again, we'll get you a heavier phone.. hopefully with better pixels.

When i was little, i was the sickly one. I was closest to my dad because he knows what to do when i had an asthma attack. He will keep telling me to breathe through the mouth. Then he will rub Vicks on my chest and back and behind my ears. I would only be able to sleep well when i have Vicks on me. It became like a ritual. Dad will come in and put Vicks on me.. then i will only sleep then. I feel safe knowing he is around.

Once when we went out, he took me aside and ask me to choose a harmonica. He knew that i was never interested in anything. I kinda have the Middle Child Syndrome.. *lol* He wanted me to learn something. I choose a big silver harmonica... and till today, for the life of me, i still don't know how to play the harmonica... *LOL* But i still have the harmonica that my dad bought me :) I wipe it and it shines. That's about the only thing i do with it. I didn't allow my sisters to play much on it because the saliva that gets blown inside the harmonica makes me go yucks! That was one thing that i didn't really share with my sisters. When you blow the harmonica, it makes a wheezing sound. It kinda sound like me wheezing when i was having an asthma attack when i was little. hehhehehehee

I was a whole lot of trouble for my parents when i was little. More so the reason they protected me more. I guess thats one of the reasons i am home now. To take care of my dad in his winter years. He tries not to annoy me. Even though sometimes he asks me many questions a day, he's just lonely without mom. People aged much faster when their other half is not around anymore. Their mind slips slowly. If they don't get themselves occupied and surrounded by more people... they just slip slowly and forgets more. It is very important to go home to see your old folks if you can. Make it frequent and take them out for a good time.

Sometimes my dad gets so lonely when i work. When i work, i forget the world. I hear him singing loudly in the next room. Sometimes Dommy goes to sit by his side. They go for walks in the evenings. He sits by my dad when he is eating.. hahahhahaa.. he's a greedy doggie.. hahhaaha.. Thank God for the buffer zone Dom :)

I'm not sure what i am writing about today. Its just a collection of thoughts that just sprinted by in my head. As confusing as i am, hope you'll enjoy this read of my confused thoughts.

Goodnight peeps! Have a great evening.
