Halloween Crew




 Kiki told me my glasses are spoilt (no lens, it's a prop)
I had the pointed "cat" hair band quite long ago in my drawers, supposedly for some Christmas party but felt like joining in for some fun with the kids that morning. Might as well goof on my cam again. LOL.

Last Friday Night

I was goofing on my iphone since it was Friday.
Fridays have a very special meaning for me.
For most part of my childhood, I get to go home on Fridays (or Saturdays)
I lived my life for Fridays. Pining and yearning to go home for a night or two, and then multiply the yearnings for twelve years, and then add another three adolescent years. And one day, the yearning stopped. There was enough anger to occupy whatever is left. 
Everyone gets 52 weeks in a year, and that is about the number of times I get to see my parents and my dear little sister. It is never enough and I grew up a little twisted up there in the head and halfway in heart department. So ya, Friday nights have always been meaningful to me.

So anyway, when I began work, Friday nights are drunken nights. and if there is enough budget, make it Saturdays too. Sundays are for sobering up, facial day and ironing day. And so it was.

Then one day, I went for therapy. To let go of my emotional baggages. And I was free.

I don't miss partying and I don't miss getting drunk. Occasionally, I join some friends to party after turning them down for a dozen times and if they still ask. LOL.





Some call these "selfies", I just call it camwhoring. LOL.

Piano Surprise




Piano Surprise (Part 2 of 2)

Piano Surprise (Part 1 of 2)

The room was empty since we were early, so I asked Kiki to show me what she'd learned on piano.
To my surprise, she pounded on the keys like she meant music.

Her teacher came in and asked: "Rachael, are you making your own music?" 
We were all pleasantly surprised. Especially me, because I had not practised with her at all. Every time the teacher asked (if we'd practised at home), I will just ermmm,, say "ok". But honestly, I don't know how to play piano and I really can't follow. If I were to sit-in and learn, I would be overwhelmed as I still have work, violin and everything else.

The tunes she played on the piano sounded like it could have came from an adult and they also sounded masculine (?)

I am now wondering if I wanna bring her to watch Richard Clayderman in Singapore next month.... cos the tickets for two of us will work out to be est. $200 for the cheapest of seats... hummmmmmmm................I think I can scrape some money together for this, lah. Maybe use the gold ingots from my piggy bank.

Colin (2-years-old)

 Wa, my aunt plays with photo apps.



Maricar met my aunt at the church to collect some stuff my aunt bought for us from Malacca.
The other time, my aunt threw a tantrum and we ended our gather abruptly.
Now that she has gotten over it, she has become warm again -_-"""
I wonder if she's a case of undiagnosed biopolar disorder.......
