When Everything Comes To Ash

Today is a great day.

After much rest, after all the tearing, after you finally understand that you can’t turn the clock around, today is exceptionally calm and beautiful.

We are busy getting his favorite food. We talk about him and not cry. I told him “Good morning!” when I’m awake. I cleaned him a few times today. At least I dare to look at his pictures again.

Maybe everyone has move on. Probably we should…

Pipi’s Last Journey

These 2 days have been very surreal, shocking, sad and difficult to my family.

Pipi vomitted and hasn’t been eating much these 3 days, thus no stools too. So we decided to bring him for a checkup. We actually realise that his mouth and tongue ain’t coordinating so well a few months ago. But never expect the condition to be so severe.

Pipi goes through an xray and says that his jaws are severely broken, that’s why he can’t eat and his weight drop. Due to his old age, he may not survive through the surgery. So left with the other solution, to put him to sleep. We couldn’t bear at that moment, plus not everyone is around, we decided to bring him home for a night. A referral letter is given to another specialist should we decide to go for surgery.

It is a very tough situation to make. I seriously can’t let him go but I know he is not doing very well. That night is a struggle as we prepared for the worst.

Next morning, Pipi actually vomitted again before consultation. Specialist said his wound has been too long and there is no bone structure he can work on for the surgery. That is the most devastating moment. Don’t really want to go into details, but the jabs ended his journey with us very quickly and peaceful.

He stayed in the fridge for a night and schedule to inceminate 9am today. We see him and touched the cold body for the very last time. Ashes followed us home.

We actually miss him very much. It’s like a missing kid at home. I regret that we send him in so late, I regret I din give him food the other night, I din noe he didn’t eat. So many regrets but there is nothing I can do. It is especially hard for me because I have the whole world time but Pipi can’t wait for me.

Dajie hopes that you will be a good boy in other place. Hope you don’t have pain or worries, meet new friends, eat all the food that you can’t eat. U can come back and visit us. I’ve already keep the sofa very clean for you. Anytime you want, you can “One! Two! Three! Up!” Dajie really miss you.

Andigraf

I always wanted a lomo toy camera, but the only inconvenience is they are all analog cameras.

Happen to chance upon Andigraf application, there are a few lomo camera types and films you can choose. I think it works great with my lousy IPhone 3G camera. I shall temporary settle for this.

When is lomo coming out with a digital one? ๐Ÿ™ (Bet some lomo enthusiasts will disagree with me.)

Wish List

I never know what wish list really meant.

I thought it works like a lucky draw: people list down what they want and kind companies will send them 1 of it if he or she is picked. So I make a few wish list on books from Amazon, hoping that they will send to me. But they never did.

And I only know the ugly truth only today. Bleah…

Life is hopeful , as always. I still want to wish for something:

  1. 6 years back I was eyeing for a Calvin Klein’s watch.
    It goes through GST 3%, 5% and 7%. More and more expensive till it costs SGD$ 365. I saved my $1 coins for this but I ended up using them for my study allowance instead.
  2. Just last week from Hong Kong, I saw Issey Miyake’s one.
    I probably need to check out the price. Never see this in Singapore at all.

Chen Hui & Sumei’s Wedding

It’s a long dued post. 12 years of friend and Chen Hui gets married!

I have a bit more time this round, so I’ve made him a printed guest book. I encountered some problems along the way but is lucky enough to resolve them with some great people at the printing, binding shops. Also spend on crystals from scrapbooking shop.

Chen Hui employs Live Studios to take pictures for the guests, stream them live onto the screen and each guest also gets their copy of printed photos. So cool. Do away from the conventional developed wedding photos that you sent after wedding. Lalala~

I mean love is sometime a LOVE-HATE relationship. If you are having a down time with your love one, sometime you just need things like that to lighten the mood and realign your relationship. ๐Ÿ™‚

P/S: When are we washing car, chill out in a bar, jog in the night and climb a mountain?

White Day

I skipped my purple day because I don’t have much images. Anyway, white day was a field trip day. We went Osage gallery at Old School.

Osage collaborates with artists around the world, organises themed exhibitions every now and then. The current exhibition is Inventory: New Art From Southeast Asia. Most of the artists works are installation based, some offer video projections.

I particularly like Lure by Tintin Wulia as she has an interesting way to fit her work into the gallery space. Having the sense of space is very important because your work is only complete when it is appropriately presented.
