Life is Grand

...like a baby grand piano :)

Woke up this morning because something was vibrating on my arm *LOL* No dirty thots there... hahhahahahaa Its just my phone on my arm (how did it get there).. I hear a *toot toot* next... and open one eye to check my incoming email.

Nice surprise for the morning. Someone called Patty of Grey & Things sent me a Life is Grand Award :) Thank you Patty. I am indeed honoured.

Ahhhhhhh... life is sweet... when people you have never even met or chat before acknowledge your presence on the web... it is a world wide web.

I do go through many many blogs and webs a day... for research and for reading. Some blogs i visit almost on a daily basis... because it is an interesting read... and you tend to unconciously know so much about the person compared to your next door neighbour. Is this globalisation or are we spending too much time confined into our online existence?

I do drops on entrecards sometimes... and thats where i find some common interest groups and many interesting websites. Grey and Things is one of my favourite drops and a whole other blogs.

Anyways... this award comes with just two simple rules.

The rules are that I need to tell you 5 reasons that I think life is grand and then pass it on to 5 people.

1) Life is grand because i have love.

2) Life is grand because i still have my father to nag me and turn my life into a hurricane. hahahhaa.. this is of course with good thots.

3) Life is grand because there's Dommy, Piper and a bit of Yellow in my life.

4) Life is grand because i can do what i love to do and still earn a living.

5) Life is grand because i get to go to work in my pajamas and my just woken up face.

My nominees for this award are...

Emila Yusof ~ Emila's Illustrated Blog

Nick ~ Spiff the Spaceman

Ken ~ Tapestry

Mariuca ~ Wishing on a Falling Star

Yoon See ~ Greener Pasture

Enjoy :)

Friendship Badge ;)

Ever since i started this blog, i have made a few good friends. Literally online friends that made their presence known through comments on my posts... quirky ones.. funny comments and most with very good intentions.

All of them i have not met before... except for Stormy. But Stormy is my old friend who seems to be blogger-challenged. (hhahahahahaa... this is said with good intentions my dear Stormy :)

Some of them i met on other blogs especially on Emila's blog. Most of us seem to make Emila's blog our 2nd home.. kinda like a place where everyone goes to chat. Its a place where everybody knows your name. Its funny sometimes but that's where i find like-minded people.

My first ever awards for this blog is of course from Emila Yusof. A very talented, humble, down to earth person who I really like as a person. Though I have never met her before, i am sure she is all that above.

She gave me many awards to share with
