Raining season is over. The weather is warming up.
The days are longer. The air is thicker. The heat from the day clings to the trees, the roads, the earth.
We walk through the park each morning, and the morning is rich with new smells.
Warmed eucalyptus trees, flowers bursting with honeyed oils, Indonesian curries, sizzling sausages, chlorine, grass cuttings, bore water sprinklers.
I love this time of year.
今天，我过得即充实又快乐。
很久没用华语写部落格。每当夜幕来临，心情就会跟着低落。。不过倒享受独处的时光。假日的快乐让我整理好照片再和大家分享， 现在。。我想介绍这首歌给大家。
很爱很爱，真的很爱这首歌。元若蓝表达的很好，每一个字，每一个音符都牵动我的心。
元若藍 - 半情歌(偶像劇《命中注定我愛你》插曲)
作詞：陳靜楠
作曲：方文良
編曲：吳俊毅
花 接受凋零 風 接受追尋
心的傷還有一些不要緊
我接受你的決定
你將會被誰抱緊 唱什么歌哄他開心
我想著天空什么時候會放晴
地球不曾為誰停一停
你的明天 有多快樂 不是我的
我們的愛是唱一半的歌
時間把習慣換了 傷口愈合
也撤銷我再想你的資格
你的祝福 一半甜的 一半苦的
像我手中冷掉的可可
最最教人殘念的總是未完成的
我只能唱著 一半的歌
你將會被誰抱緊 唱什么歌哄他開心
我想著天空什么時候會放晴
地球不曾為誰停一停
你的明天 有多快樂 不是我的
我們的愛是唱一半的歌
時間把習慣換了 傷口愈合
也撤銷我再想你的資格
你的祝福 一半甜的 一半苦的
像我手中冷掉的可可
最最教人殘念的總是未完成的
我只能唱著 一半的歌
我的明天 快不快樂 都是我的
我們的愛是唱一半的歌
時間把習慣換了 傷口愈合
也撤銷我再想你的資格
你的祝福 一半甜的 一半苦的
像我手中冷掉的可可
最最教人殘念的 總是未完成的
另一半的歌

夜，已很深了。。
今晚的夜特别漫长。。
“The daffodil was chosen as the symbol of hope for all touched by cancer because of its reputation as a hardy annual flower, pushing its way through the frozen earth after a long winter to herald the return of Spring, new life, vitality and growth.” (Daffodilday.com.au)
Usually, I’m not one who gets overly weepy by symbols and metaphors. (Ok, maybe they tug at my heart a little). But daffodils do particularly have a special place in my heart, just because my grandpa and uncle died of cancer, and many of them out there survive cancer.
I think daffodils are absolutely beautiful. And that money for cancer research and support is a worthy cause.
In fact, flowering bulbs in general are simply amazing. To think that something so dirty and ugly and looks like a demented onion could possibly erupt into a stunning flower.
And that all the information for bright yellow petals, green stalks and a funny trumpet shape is stored somewhere inside this lump.
I guess in a way, I feel that the bulbs are more beautiful than the flower itself. And possibly a more beautiful symbol of hope.
.......
Eh, did I just get all weepy?
*May God bless my friend, Tong Lai's dad who is suffering from Lymphomatic Carcinoma (cancer of the lymph node) in his final stage. All we can do is pray hard and live in hope..
My preschooler said to me, “HEY TEACHER! What’s a ghost?”
“It’s a… well. Um… lets see.”
I was trying to create a question for them in their workbook while considering whether it was a good idea to tell the children about spirits, death, heaven, the afterlife, and lost souls haunting the earth. I mean, if this isn’t the height of progressive teaching for kids, then I don’t know what is. However, he interrupted my deep contemplation.
“Are they just funny little monsters with blankets over their heads?”
“Yeap. That’s exactly what they are, mate.”
Yesterday I was invited to a dog show and competition at Bandar 1U park. It's the first time I've been to a dog event, so was Bean Bean.
We reached the park around 12pm after church, caught the dog competition, which was funny in certain parts but mostly left us awe seeing how the dogs responded to their owners. Brilliant stuff.
I really enjoyed looking at all dogs around the park! Those rare dogs like St. Bernard, huge white chow chow (looks exactly like lion, I was too excited and forgot to photograph again! T.T), pure white Maltese, a numbers of elegant Husky and beautiful Golden.. and some breeds that I can't even name them.
Bean enjoyed very much too as she's received lots of warm welcome from others. Everybody was pretty amazed about her curly hair, I always make fun of her by telling them her nick name is "lun mo" (curly hair) and she's actually from India! *giggles*
*Cute Schnauzer!*
Huge St. Bernard! I love to call them Beethoven because of the movie. *smile*
"Ah..I'm tired and it's hot!" while on the way home.
Then we had lunch at Old Town White Coffee. 
*my love "Nan Yang coffee*
*Rendang chicken with rice*
*Ipoh Hor Fun*
*half boil eggs*
*Thick Toast with homemade strawberry jam*
Drinks with friends at the evening, dinner with family and movie at night with somebody. It was a great Sunday out!
Aaahhh, there’s nothing like a good dose of shopping with the girlfriends to brighten my day. Especially during a lingerie sale.
This is another of my favourite, healthy and very lazy meals.
Use any sort of vegetables. Egg plant, tomatoes, capsicum, red onions, pumpkin, sweet potato, baby carrots, beetroot, turnips. Add fresh herbs from the garden.
Drizzle lots of olive oil, salt, pepper.
Into a 180C oven for 1.5 hours.
Serving ideas: Toss with pasta. Serve with rice. Or pita bread. Or a bunch of fresh green salad.
