Its been a while since a proper post came about (yes yes.. this is one of the mighty long winded post). Now seriously... did anyone think that i might have actually kapoots for real this time?
There is a blog on my list... the writer has passed on two years ago... but i still keep her blog on the list as she was such an inspiration to me.
Kapoots we have not. Given up blogging? hmmm.. we could have for a while there. But it got a tad too boring in the real world and i kinda missed some of you. Most of you.. All of you... :) Yes yes... that's a bit of sucking up there. Alright alright.. i miss alllllllllllllllllllllllll of you and i missed blogging.
I went thru a phase of soul-searching. Still searching. I cracked myself up too. Literally. I ate a lot of dairy stuffs.. which i can't because dairy somehow cracks me up. I binged on Mars bar and yogurts and all the yakults. It was a wonderful time to have a Mars bar every night till i finally cracked up. Then i had to stop. No more Mars bars for now. No more yogurts. No more chocolates. Until i am all patched up :)
As some of you might remember, i have a close buddy who's been diagnosed with 3rd stage breast cancer early this year. She has stopped her chemotherapy after the 5th one and refused to do it anymore. She had a terrible double dose on the 5th treatment and she finally gave up on chemotherapy. She didn't want to go through it anymore. We begged.. talked... advised.. cried.. but she just would not listen. One more session... just complete the course. But she refused.
Its been 2 months + now and she has not even had her operation to remove the lump on her breast. She requested for an extention of 6 months from her doctor. She did not want to have a mastectomy. She's having some holistic care and her hair has started to grow. She's taking quite a big gamble right now. Sometimes she just likes to prove to herself that she can be right about some things. Hopefully she'll have the op soon.
I believe a lot of people have survived breast cancer and lived many many more years by having a mastectomy and radiation after that. Losing a breast does not make you any less a woman.
This is life. You can only do so much and everyone does have their right to make their own decisions about how they want to live. I sometimes wonder if i have done enough to help my friend.
I do not know how we got to July. Its just been breezy.. and the days and weeks just went by very quickly. I even forgot about Dom's birthday on the 29th June. Poor fella. Its a good thing he got a big box of gifts from Frankie and Ernie last month. More on that on the next post.
Dom's 10 years old. Still as silly as ever. He's due for the yearly prick and probe at the v-e-t soon. Hopefully them 'vampires' do not steal his blood this time.
If you want to know where to purchase the coooool 'hat' Dom has on... you have to ask Frankie and Ernie.
I've also been sneaking off somewhere on some Sundays. A place where i can help and my heart is happy. We'll tell you more about that some day. Till the next time.

This is my friend two months back

I've also been sneaking off somewhere on some Sundays. A place where i can help and my heart is happy. We'll tell you more about that some day. Till the next time.
Here i am all fluffed up and clean. We were on the way to Kuala Lumpur to see Mr Piper.
SHE had to go to church because Nicky was getting confirmed. We had a long mass and the Archbishop Murphy was there to conduct the mass as it was a most special day.
SHE tried to keep quiet during the mass but her sister kept poking her and ask her many questions. Its a good thing no one got scolded for talking in church this time.
We slept quite late as we waited for everyone to come home. Big sis and her kids came over to have a sleepover too. It was nice to have everyone in one place sometimes. By the time her sister arrived, we were all dazed and very asleep. We all got up to give them a warm welcome, did a few rounds of jumps and whoops and barks and we fell back to sleep promptly after that.
Mr P slept with my cow on the mattress as he is a scardy cat dog. He is most afraid of thunder and we had quite a lot of boom booms that night.
We celebrated Nicky's 17th Birthday the next day. This is a most delicious cake. Small and delicious. Macadamia sponge. Everyone only got to have one piece as its a small cake.
Angpows are cash gifts in red packets. Usually given during Chinese New Year. But they give them for birthdays too. Kids prefer cash nowadays. Being 17, you don't really know what to get them. I wish someone will give me some angpows too... so i can go and buy more greenies for myself and Mr. P.
Stay tuned for more ya! We'll show you where we went for our walks with Rachel next.
Blinking. I should probably stop blinking because time just goes missing each time i blink. We are trying hard for a post a week. *LOL* But a whole week went by and no blogging and not much commenting got done. And so... i should tape my eyelid down and stop blinking. ^.*
** Kids... please do not try to do this at home. Taping of the eyelids should only be done by blinking adults and done underexpert supervision.
February 13... my dad turns 71. Since it was a weekday, none of my siblings could make it home. But Boy was home for his weeklong break from uni and dad was very happy. We bought a tiramisu cake and took it to my aunts house to celebrate it with my lil nephew who shares the same birthday as my dad. So James and Jayden both celebrated their birthday together.
Being the cruel cow that i am, i bought a lil plastic figurine that kinda resembles my dad. The resemblance is quite shocking *LOL* Well.. my dad is not as bald as Gargamel but the facial resemblance is quite close. Everyone had a good laugh and that lil figurine would be making more appearances for all my dad and all his siblings birthday.
Jayden's cake was made by my aunt. It has all the characters of his favourite shows and that really put a big smile on the kid's face.
Here's Jayden playing with dad's ipad. He just turned two. Dom is waiting his turn to play on the ipad. He's worried as his vegetable plot in the Smurf village is almost ready to harvest.
We took dad to this place with those strange colourful lights to have his birthday meal. It has a good environment and very nice waiters. The food's not all that bad too.
Ahhhh... February 14. The day for lovers and for some people to make loads of money from flowers and chocolates. This simple drawing on the calendar is kinda sweet. You don't see much of these kind of drawings nowadays. I love this type of calendar as I get to tear a page out everyday. Its made of very very thin paper. Kinda like tissue.
February 14 is also a lonely day for introverts like me that do not have a other half yet. So i hopped on the train and went to Kuala Lumpur to celebrate this lonely day with some good friends. I waved at a friend who was in a straw skirt by his office window when i was passing by his office. But i guess he thought that i was just pulling a fast one on him when i said WAVE. *LOL*
We had a good meal at this place called Serai. Just four good friends sharing a giggle and some laughs. We had a very very sweet pavlova to tie up the meal. Being the glutton that i am, i forgot to take the picture of the pavlova to share with you guys. It was a very pretty pavlova.
Serai means lemongrass. Malaysians used a lot of lemongrass in their cooking.
We had some Kilkennys later in the night. Its been quite a while since i had a pint. I think i was very thirsty :p
Actually i was in Kuala Lumpur for some work too. Mr P was so happy to see me, he was running in circles. I think i kinda miss my Curly when i was in Kuala Lumpur as i kept calling Dom when i talking to Piper. No wonder he was looking at me funnily when i called him Dom.
We went for some walkies in the morning and some more walkies in the evening.
Mr P smelling some weeds flowers along the way. We met some kids on bicycles in the evenings and one of them even greeted Piper. *LOL* He was just cycling by and said.. Hi Mr Poofball. I guess Piper is getting more well known as the poofball in this neighbourhood.
We met a worm... and many many worms along the way. There were quite a lot of worms early in the morning. I bet these worms were going for a morning stroll. A lot of them got squashed by the early morning joggers. One even cling on to Piper's feet for dear life and came home with us. If we collected all the worms from the morning walks, we could go fishing with them.
Mr P got really tired from all the walks and promptly fell asleep after all the walks. Even though he has a pretty nice comfy bed, he prefers to lie on the stack of newspapers on the floor. That to him is the best spot to sleep.
Part of his bed is still not dry yet... but he insists on sleeping in it.
Mr P in his comfy bed. He feels very safe in his bed but he is still very afraid of thunder. Maybe i should buy him a thundershirt. Can anyone tell us if the thundershirt really works? Cos Mr Poofball is really really scared when there's lightning and thunder.
Ahhh... i guess you all must have missed Curly. Here he is now. He is getting a bit curly wurly and all his furry self is outta place. He will haveta be groomed this week to greet a special someone who will be coming back this Saturday. We really can't wait until Saturday comes.

GROOM??? i don't need a groom. I look perfectly handsome.
Don't you think so?
I am just hungry. Will ya feed me please.
Pretty please...
Please don't mind the mess behind Dom. I am not very good at housekeeping. ^.^
We will try to post once a week... or once a forthnight. *LOL* We will be hitting the road again this Saturday. Till we meet again. Be safe... be happy and always forgive.. and forget.
i pinch this from somewhere... credits to urmm... google
Its a good thing my mommy and daddy remembers. Mommy did give me a very good meal on my barkday.
But i am still sad that she didn't do a post for me on my 7th barkday. How can she forget. This blog is mine. It belongs to me and its MY kingdom. Its called Piper's Kingdom. Not Curly Kingdom.
Before the Curly
Now its all just about the Curly.
I know she's coming down to see me soon. I wonder if she will love me back and leave the Curly to grandpa to worry about. Even though i like Curly, but he has been hogging my blog for too long. Too long i tell you.
I heard that she sent Curly for grooming at Sumomo. They even gave him a spa. Can you believe it. He went for a nice nice papaya spa and he is now smelling like a million bucks for many days. With Curly smelling like a million bucks, she's gonna love him more and more.
Curly and I love to eat papaya a lot. I wonder if he ate any of the spa papaya soap.. *BOL*
Curly had a crew cut too... the usual and he's no more curly. His legs looks like sticks again. She is getting worried about him getting too fat again. He's just like a dalmation now in his birthday suit. *BOL* He's running all over the neighbourhood with only a wee thin layer of fur and some black dots. First he tried to be a schnauzer and now he is a semi dalmation for maybe 2 weeks till his curls grow out. You can't really see them dots because she covered her beloved Curly with a towel just in case he gets cold on the way back from the groomers.
I hope she brings me some cookies when she comes down. I also hope she will love me back. I know i still love her. I always sleep in her room when she comes down. Her heart should be big enough for Curly and i. Don't you think so?
xoxo,
Piper

Sometimes i run away. I know i am really too old to be running away but sometimes i still do it :) I am a free soul.
I ran away from home last Friday and spend the whole weekend walking around and round and taking pictures. Taking pictures always make me happy. The need to get out and about and to see things is one of the reasons why my life is such and the reason why i am still without another half by my side. I havenot really searched for my other half through mountains and valleys and the great seas and i still have not found him yet. Ahh... oh woe is me. I might just end up old and crinkly with no one to hold my hands :(
After leaving some instructions on the white board for my dad to feed Dom his food and medicine, i told my Curly i am taking off. He tried to fit into my backpack but lately... he's kinda on the heavy side. He couldn't even fit one of his feet into my backpack. *LOL* I think i might just have to put him on a vegetarian diet soon.
Dad sent me off in the morning to the railway station and he even packed my favourite egg tarts for me to eat just in case i got hungry on the way. What can i say... i am still daddy's little girl :D
These eggtarts are yummy fellas. My all time favourite... and you kind of have to queue to buy them. I guess my dad loves me quite a lot. Yes yes... i am gloating.
Since it was also my 50th birthday (i think its my 50th or was it 60th cos i stop counting after my 30th), my dad went to the bakery early in the morning and got me a white chocolate cake :) The bakery was just opening and they didn't have anyone to write my name on the cake.
My dad came home with the cake and insisted to put a letter N to spell my name. So he took out some red paper and tried to cut the letter N real fast as i have a train to catch in an hour's time. He cut a few times and finally got the letter N.
My beautiful cake. It was more beautiful with the letter N.
I said goodbye to my Curly... grabbed my bag and my dad sent me off to the railway station. I bet Dom was howling for quite a while after i left. He always howls sadly when i leave him. I didn't know about this until my sister told me about it. I went out for a while and left him in the house with my sister once. He just howled and howled. My sister was so scared and thought he was in pain. That was when we found out he howled when i am not with him.
I always choose to leave the ones that love me the most. But i always come back. I choose to run away on this birthday because i always run away from situations and things. I don't fight with anyone. I just walk away. I don't fight for what i want, because i believe that if it was mine to begin with, it will be with me in the end.
My journey on the train ended up in Kuala Lumpur. My friend picked me up and we went by car to another city. The historical city called Malacca.
I dragged.. practically dragged and forced one of my best buddies to take the day off work on Friday and spend the day with me :) She loves to be photographed and i love to photograph things and furries mostly. Don't tell her that. *LOL* I love to photograph doors, windows and buildings and she loves to have her photos taken.
She is one of my best buddies because she will always drop what she is doing and make time for friends like us. Even if we end up old and crinkly without a hand to hold one day, i know i will still have hands of family and friends to hold. It will be not quite the same but it will be okay. All you ever need is just a few good friends and family and a furry or two or three.. or maybe a lot of furries.
I believe some of us are always looking and looking for the other half to make us complete. I sure hope my other half is not sipping Tequila Sunrise in Timbaktu. It is a long way to Timbaktu :) I don't know if i know how to get there.
I am actually quite happy last weekend... my dad made my birthday most memorable. I am touched by his actions. Even though i am still getting nagged and nagged and nagged daily even though i am in my 50s now... i guess in his heart, i will always be his little girl.

Have a great barkday Yuki. Hope your momma made you a super dooper cake.
Today is my good friend's 10th Birthday.
Do you know who?
Here she is...
Happy Happy 10th Barkday to you
Here's our smiles for you...
Mr P is quite a cool dude... he hardly smiles..
Have a great birthday with lotta nom and noms and lotta love.
Since my brother Piper came back this morning, we celebrated your birthday with an egg...
and we both had 1/2 of an egg... AGAIN.
I had to share MY egg with my brother Piper AGAIN.
Whatcha doing there? Are you doing my cupcake yet??
Can i wait here?? Are you making my cupcake yet?
It tasted nommieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... because both Piper and i finished it all. Grandpa was puzzled that both of us got cupcakes for tea today.
I had to share MY cupcake with my little brother Mr P again! First it was the egg and now MY cupcake. SHE said that i should always learn to share. And i am still FAT.. yada yada yada... and it was near dinner time.. yada yada yada...
SHE finally baked my cupcake today as SHE said the bananas were just right for baking and it was not ripe enough yesterday. Hmmmm... her excuses for being lazy.
Anyways.. SHE stole a recipe from a website called... urmmm.. wait.. lemme go back to her archive.. urmm... they are called Muttfins. You can visit Latte & Cookie for the recepi here.Thanks to Latte... my cupcake dream became a reality... finally.
She added a yogurt topping for the cupcake.
I hope we both get another cupcake to share tomorrow. I see there's still one hidden in the oven. I think its for me :)
I am not angry anymore.. i got my cupcake dream. Now its time to sleep. Its getting a wee bit late over here. I'll continue with my dreaming of the cupcake in the oven :) Goodnight folks and Happy 4th of July to all our friends in the USA.
