I cracked myself up...

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 my friend two months back

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.

Some words on a Wednesday - Pippa

My ole friend Pippa. She wants to be let out and be held each time i am there. Like a lil worm, she crawls all over me. She's spayed and the top part of her left ear is cropped. Ear tipping is vital and can save the animals life. Eartipped cats that are caught by animal control are usually released back.

She's adopted on 2nd June 2012. May she be happy wherever she goes. A much loved funny lil one.

Goodbye

Our dear friend Wilfee crossed the rainbow bridge today. A very sad day indeed.

How does a dog... halfway around the world touch our lives so much? He did touched mine by the beautiful words of his friend Angus.

Run free Wilfee.

Curly Curliest Day

A most curly curlie curliest day today. Its so warm we are popping. I think we can start frying eggs on the porch. Poor curly is warmer with all the curls everywhere.

He's asking to be let out a lot of times today... to eat grass. Does your dog eat grass when they are not too well? Other than eating grass... he's fine and quite bouncy today. It must be the heat getting to him.

We thought it was a Wednesday today... so we did a picture post :) Yes.. we are a wee bit lazy to type too many words and its all because its just too warm. We are both getting sun burnt from getting out to the yard too often. Can someone do a raindance for us please.

Our Portrait of Love

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 Week in Pictures

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.

Here's the birthday boy. He's very happy here as he got a lot of "angpows" as birthday gifts. He's a very tall guy. Quite a charming fella too. When he was little, he sings all the time. He still loves to sing and he never goes out of tune.

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.

My silly cow still have to work when she was in Kuala Lumpur. Here i am being with her while she worked in the hall. I am always close by just in case i am needed. Sometimes she love to run her hands through my curls on her breaks. She says its very calming to run her hands through my curly self. I don't mind the tummy rubs. I am a most important person curly to have around especially when she is working.

Mr. Piper tried to stay close to her too. He is just by her feet. Looks like he got stabbed by the plastic chair. OUCH! Are you okay Mr. P?

I was not stabbed silly Curly. I am just sleeping around it. Booyah!

Since my cow says she stinks, she's gonna end this post and cut it short. She really needs a bath. Here's my pretty curly self just in case you all forgot how amazingly cute i can still be at almost 10. I am gonna be 10 soon and i heard that she's gonna have a giveaway for you guys.

Stay tuned for more ya! We'll show you where we went for our walks with Rachel next.

Sometimes we cheat but...

We are going on the road tomorrow morning. So we are gonna cheat a bit schedule a post and hopefully Blogger will help us post it up tomorrow to continue with our Matchaton with GLP. I can't wait till the 7th day. *LOL*

We are running out of material to post as its almost gonna be 12 and we have not packed at all. *LOL*

My nephew is going to be confirmed tomorrow. He's going to be 17. I am not even baptised yet. It will be a nice break for dad... and to play catch up with my siblings too.

Dommy's all ready... and all puffed up and pretty from today's shower and home groom. Hope he still smells nice in the car tomorrow.

We are going off to see Mr P. We'll bring the big old gigantic camera.. and hopefully be able to catch some pictures while we are there.

Hoping not to bore you all too much, we plugged in some mooziks for you from youtube. I grew up listening to these oldies which were not OLDIES back then. We listen to these songs in the car.. at home and whereever there's a radio. You can almost gauge how old i am from these songs. *LOL*

Its all my papa's songs. I swear! Enjoy.

 Curly is already snoooooozing.

Note to GLP's Typist:
