48 hour count down

In exactly 48 hours, I will be landing on China soil!! Excited and sad and happie and scared all jumbled up inside...

My luggage: 85% packed. Still missing are mt daily skin care toiletries.

My research... 1 full page dedicated to just shopping places... I like!! :)

Oh! Facebook is banned in China... what a downer...

Just love the view from my bedroom window. :D

Waking up at 8am on a Saturday

For those who know me, sleeping always comes first for me, especially when it's day time (I'm like a vampire. I prefer night time to day time. I'd rather sleep in late till the afternoon than to go to bed at 10 at night.)

Anyhow, I'm up so early today because I had to play the part of a good girlfriend who wakes up early to prepare breakfast for the BF before he set off for his 6 hour drive home to Terengganu. (Good right?? :p) So, it's like having a 'blue moon' (ironic huh?), so what did I do?

Jeng, jeng, jeng...

I gave my favourite lion a long awaited bath!!

After I'm all dried up, I'm going to be 'SO FLUFFY I'M GOING TO DIE'!! :p

I've been putting it off for quite a while now, because I'm afraid he cannot dry in up in time for bed time (I cannot sleep without him...), and besides, I need him clean and fluffy when in Shanghai (Yes! He goes wherever I go)!

Can's wait for him to dry... And oh! For those who don't know him, his name is Leon. :)

Tip: While washing a stuffed animal, it's good to let it soak in the soapy warm water for around 10 minutes to let the detergent soak into it's cotton (maybe longer if it's really,really dirty). Then rinse off with water. Lastly finish off with some Softener for that soft fluffy like new feeling!

Down --> Up --> Up --> Down

Monolouge; Questions I Ask: Gay

A few days ago, when I was on my way out from the studio to go get some water, I bumped into an old lady at the corridor asking for directions to the loo. It may sound like nothing to you, but did you know I work in a house with only 10 employees (including the bossman) and it's the 7th month of the lunar calendar? And as far as I know, I've been here 3 months and I don't recall having an old lady as a colleague. So where did this old lady come from? Creepy huh? Well, after a split second, then it accrue to me that she was the bossman's mother. Haha...

Back to the main topic. A few hours later, when I was in the loo (hmm... my mind then to wonder and ask silly and weird questions when I'm doing my business. Is it only me or do all girls do that?), I though of something. You see, being in the A&D industry for nearly 6 years now, it's very common for us to meet gay people, regardless male or female. My first 2 Cd's were gay, my 2nd boss is gay, I have a few ex-colleagues who are too, and my current boss? You get the point. I never had a problem with that. So what if they are attracted to the same gender? Does this make them less human then we are? I don't think so. It's not a crime right?

Anyway, then it hit me. Does the bossman's mother know about her son? From what I know? He is the only son and he still stays with her. He is the one who usually sends and accompany her to her check ups. So? You ask? Well, for the (old) Chinese, they believe being either the only son of the family or even the eldest plays a very important role. He is the one who has to hold the responsibility to continue the family's legacy, spread the family's seed. The bossman is around 40+ of age. He is considered a successful man, but does his mother always wonder why isn't he married yet? Has he told her? Did she accept the truth? How does she feel?

Then, I start to make a list of people I know that are gay, starting from school. Yup. A few. No biggie. I accept them for who they are. Collage. A few too. I also accept them for who they are. My working life. By now, I'm already used to it. Then the list came down to my family. As far as I am aware off, no one in may family is. Nada. Zilch.

So, then I asked myself. Could I accept the news if it were to be my brother? My cousin? My child? I don't have an answer. I really don't know. Could I accept it or not.

How about you then? Yes or No?

Cosas Mínimas

I am in love with a Spanish lady!!

Well, technically to be more exact, I am in love with her work. :)

Her name is Blanca Gómez, a designer and illustrator based in Madrid.

I just LURVE her illustrations found on her very simple easy to navigate website called Cosas Mínimas, which means 'tiny things' in Spanish. Isn't that cute.... :)

I first came to know about her work from this illustration:

(source: Cosas Mínimas)

I called it 'The Bubble Blower'. Little did I knew that this is 1 of 8 illustrations from this very talented lady's project called 'Monsieur/Mademoiselle'.

A few more from 'Monsieur/Mademoiselle'

Side track a little, I've been doing research on how to design my wedding card for a few years now (maybe around 2?), not that I'm getting married, but I just have a thing for wedding cards. I've already have a firm idea on what type of finishing I want for the card and now, I want the design to have illustrations like this!! I think it will turn out perfectly with the finishing that I've chosen. :)

Wonder is she able to draw my wedding card someday? ♥

Oh! She can also be found on her blog, flickr and works can be bought at ezty.
