My mom, my siblings and i. My youngest sis was just a month old here :) I am the third in the family of four girls.

My mom has always been with us while we were growing up. She cooked, she cleaned and mend all our wounds. My mom was a SAHM. She tend to all our needs and heard all our silly stories. She defended us always. She took in all our giggles... and four girls can be quite a giggly lot. But she always tells us.. empty vessels make a lot of noise.

I remember she rode with me on the school bus on my first day of kindy. I was the proudest child on the bus as i had my mom with me by my side. The rest just ride on their own and look like they were about to burst out crying. One other parent even asked my mom to take care of his child and take her in to school too on that first day as he had to work.

She used to drag my youngest sister and i all over town to buy material to sew clothes for us. We two being the youngest always get to tag along with her. I used to frequent the hospital quite a lot when i was a kid. I was a troublesome kid. I always had an itch on the hands or on the legs and sometimes i wheeze at night ^.^

The best medicines are always at the general hospitals. Usually my mom took me as my dad had to work. Once while we were waiting for our turn, she got dizzy because of the heat...and fainted. Before she fainted she just told me.. hold on to my purse and your sister's hand. I held on to both for dear life and the nurse helped her onto a bed to rest. We waited till she woke up again and then we took the bus home.

I like this picture a lot. My mom was very happy here. We took a lot of pictures on that day. My eldest sister's 12th birthday. We had a big cake for her. Somehow all the pictures turned out pinkish for some reason. The whole batch of pictures were pink but still am very happy memories :)
Remembering my mom with love.   
 Happy Mother's Day to my siblings, my friends and all of you out there who are mothers. 
A mother's love knows no bounds.
Our apologies for not posting much lately. We are on a roll here. Dommy and Piper are rolling in the beds.. left right left right.. hehehe. I am however trying to roll left and right to try and finish the Sketchbook Project 2011.

It has been quite a fun experience scrawling away on the sketchbook dead in the night with Pete singing in the background. Yes.. its always Pete singing.. *LOL* I wonder when he'll be out with his next album. Hurry up Pete.

I rediscovered something which i lost when i started using the computers. It has been cow years working on the computers. On some days, i forget how to hold a pen and write like a normal person should.

The funny stuffs usually end up in my drawings. My mind is more cartoony and cottony than anything else. Most of the pages are cartoony.. *LOL* But its been nice to draw again. I'm still trying to get back in the groove of things.. and trying to hold a brush without shaking like jelly-o. In my old age, my hands shake more and my eyes blurr out when i draw too late in the night.. hehehehe

Hope you all enjoy the drawings below. Don't laugh too loud ya :) The drawings are quite rough on the edges. My hands keep shaking. The shaking is probably due to all the chicken legs that i've consumed all my life.

Tomorrow.. we'll show you our Christmas tree... i'll try to get both furries to pose. We finally put it up last Saturday. YehooooooooooOOOoo.

A love story unfolds itself before us while we were at Gurney Drive, Penang.

These two folks were just taking in the air while waiting for their friends to finish taking in the sights. The lady was in the car waving to her love. They were chatting and smiling and the lady kept waving to him. And both will smile. The lady looks frail and just sat in the car but she had on a most beautiful smile and she looked happy each time she waved to the man.

I bet they have a great love story to share if i dared to ask. Stormy asked me to take a picture of the lovely couple because we will never see them again. Its always great to see old folks still so much in love. It makes us have more faith in love. Cos love will always find its way home.

Gurney Drive is a pretty cool nice place to just sit and enjoy the cool air. It is lined with Casuarina trees all along the drive. Its romantic and cool. Its a very popular seafront tourist destination.

Loads of hawker stalls lined the first part of Gurney Drive and in the evenings, you'll be spoilt for choice on what to eat. You will go crazy because you really want to eat everything you see there. Happened to me before and i just went bazooka when i open my eyes wide with saliva almost dripping off my silly mouth when i saw all the food laid in front of me.. *LOL* I am capable of drooling unconciously.

Save Your Love ~ Renee & Renato

When i hear this song now.. i imagine Piper dreaming of Cleo.. hehehhehee.. Yes.. even doggies do fall in love :)


I met this pretty lass
When i went out for my walks
So pretty is she
As pretty as the Queen of Egypt.
Cleopatra is her name
I sniffed love
I smell love
I am in love.
Cleo Cleo will you be my girl.
love, Piper
I ne'er was struck before that hour
With love so sudden and so sweet.
Her face it bloomed like a sweet flower
And stole my heart away complete.
~ John Clare
One of my favourite books... The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. Have you ever read it before? Ahhh.. they even made a movie outta it in 2004.

Its a timeless love story about Noah and Allie. I love these soapy love stories.

Watching these love stories over and over again still never bore me. hahaha.. I am hopeless and a romantic. Living a fairytale life in my head ONLY. hahaha..

Its only normal for people like me to have an active imagination. Kinda like China in my head. Or is it normal to imagine too much?

Me, myself and I in my own China in my head :D

There are some really beautiful soundtracks in this movie. One of it is an oldie by Alan Jackson. Remember When.

Its one of my Papa's favourite songs too. Sometimes i hear him singing it. When he is alone and remember mom... he sings this song.

I believe in love. And timeless love. Don't lose hope in love. Cos with love... everything becomes beautiful. The sky is blue even on a rainy day. You would even be grinning when you are stuck in a traffic jam coming back to your "love". Donuts taste EXTRA sweet. You would have a spring in your walk. And thats love. That's what love is all about.

Here's Alan Jackson for you. Enjoy. Don't forget to watch the movie.

When everyday is a Valentines Day... most commercial giants would be very happy of course.

If you are attached with the right person, you are actually celebrating Valentines Day everyday. That's a better thought.

My funny Valentine started off with me sending my dad and his friend on a train bound south. Both old folks were so happy and excited to get out. They were actually grinning from ear to ear... hahhahahaa.. i was more worried about them getting lost in the big train station at their destination but.. these old folks have eaten more salt than i have eaten rice. Their worldly ways should do them fine.

Then i went to visit mom... and got her some flowers. Uncle asked me.. what kinda of flowers you want today? I immediately said.. roses of course. Red ones too. hahhahahaa.. Uncle said.. noooo... red roses are expensive today. (I think he was saving his red roses for the lovers) But nice uncle made me a bouquet of purple eustomas for my mummy. It looked very beautiful where she is.

Came back for Dommy to visit the vet. He happily jumped into my car not knowing where i was taking him. hahahahah.. He always get conned. Clueless. hahhahahaahaaha... When i was nearer to the vet's practice... suddenly Dommy sat up.. and remembered. He had a worried look on his face... hhahahahahhaa.. the look was of course Priceless. Dr Teo said the skin rash is not as bad as last time. But i requested for a crew cut for Dom since the days are getting really warm. He was short-handed today... so i took Dommy home and to return tomorrow for his shave and treatment. Dommy was surprised.... No injection... no shave... he happily trotted into my car and give me a huge grin. Yea yea.. dogs.. they smile and grin too.. when they are happy. hahhahaa.. Priceless. He doesn't know what's in store for him tomorrow.. hehhehehe Off we went home.

Famished and tired... i just had a quick lunch and went to pick Boy. Boy was visiting his grandma... and he had a big bunch of flowers. Hmm.. i was wondering.. which girl spend so much on him. hhahahahahhaa.. And he even wanted to buy flowers for grandma. That was so sweet of him. He thought of mum. But uncle at the same flower shop... told him.. your sister.. came this morning and bought some. You no need to buy. Save money. hahhahahahahaa.. Such a nice uncle. Boy went.. no no.. she's not my sister.. she's my auntie. Hahahhahahaha I should be happy about the sister part.. at least i am looking young.. hehhehehee.. Sometimes i go to the market and people call me auntie.. aiyaaaaaaaaaaaaa... i just glare at them... but who wouldn't call me auntie.. if you see me in my "just woken up" face and dragging my legs to the market.

Boy had a secret. He bought the flowers for a girl. But he said... i don't know which girl i want to give to yet. *adoi* I on the other hand knew which girl he want to give to. His mind is set. I know.. he cannot lie to me. I knew him since he was a baby in his mummy's tummy.

We came home.. and all three of us slept. Dommy, Boy and I.. all slept till late.

Woke up to go dinner. But... we detour to the girl's house.

Being shy and being a teenager... he doesn't want to give the flowers to the girl face to face. I told him... be a gentleman.. give to her face to face. But nooooooo... we drove in darkness like some secret agent... sitting and stalking outside her house. Then when we see the opportunity.. he ran towards the house... to drop the flowers... but ran back immediately... hahhahahhaa.. cos he got chased by a few big and small doggies... hahhahahahahaa.. He ran back as fast as his legs could carry him... with the flowers still in his hands. Adoi! hhahahahaa... Cos the neighbourhood was so filled with dogs... we decided to drive in right to the doorstep.. and drop it quickly.. and drove out. But i had trouble turning the car around because the road was so narrow. Hahhaa.. the experience was of course Priceless :)

Brought me back to the time when i was his age. I used to like this guy forever. Well... 3 years seems like forever... cos every other girl likes him too. He wouldn't even knew i liked him. We were friends.. but i remember him as the most good looking guy when i was a teenager. I even cycle pass his house sometimes. hahahahhaa.. Tell me about being thick-skinned and hard-up.. for his attention.. hahhahahahahaa When he sees me.. i would just say.. oh.. i was just in the neighbourhood.. hahhahahahaa.. while turning red.. and quickly cycling away. Priceless!

Both Boy and I came home after dinner and watch a whole lot of tv. Its been a while since we both watched tv... i think. At least for me... i enjoyed my Valentine just flipping channels and watched about 4 whole hours of tv. Dommy got so tired of waiting for me.. he just took the opportunity to jump up on the couch and slept there... hehhehe Papa's gonna be home tomorrow. I better tidy up the house a bit tomorrow.

One Valentine, my friend's husband cut out 2 paper red hearts and scribbled some lovely sentiments there. He gave one to his wife (you know who you are..lucky woman) and another to his little girl. I thought that it was so sweet. Inexpensive but done with heart. No hoity-toityness but sincere.

One of my favourite blogs... Matthias Inks... Matthias made Valentines day card for his wife and daughters... it was so cute.. and so with love.

My friend Spiff... says he's gonna cook his lovely wife some nice romantic breakfast for Valentines Day. That's really all it takes to make a woman happy.

Well... roses are really way too expensive today. hahahaha.. Even uncle forbid me to buy.

Valentines Day should not be about expensive gifts and spending bombs on dinners and hoity-toityness. Even though it sounds kinda nice (my evil thots overrides sometimes)... but commercial giants are the ones smiling to the banks. Everyday should be Valentines Day... if you have that special someone with you.

May everyday be Valentines Day to people in love... and people who are looking for love. Never despair cos there's always someone for you in this world. There's always someone for someone... just look right.. and look left. He/she is just there.


Bila Aku Jatuh Cinta ~ Nidji

It is Valentine's Day
I have much to say
My love is far far away
But i am here to stay.

Have pity on those who love each other and are separated.

* Bila Aku Jatuh Cinta means When I Fall in Love

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone...
love from Dommy, Kuning and Piper :x :x :x
All three of us... celebrated our Valentines Day at the park. Near the carousel... we pooed & peed and checked all our "love mails" left by our other doggie friends.
Since Kuning is here for the weekend, we got another extra doggie breath.. i mean another doggie friend to run laps around the house. And since she's a girl, we'll let her have the run of the whole house.
Have a good valentine and a great weekend. I am now off to show this new goldie girl my house and share some treats with her. I am trying to win her love. Ahhhhhhhh.. to be in love. I think i'll win heads down since Dommy is stuck in the hometown with Anny ;)
Grandpa is coming down tomorrow and hopefully i'll get to spend time with grandpa too.
Till then... wooooooofff! and a wooooooooooooooff we go...
love,
Piper
