Happy birthday Jasmine Er

My fave invention of xiao ding dang aka Doraemon is 马上行动枪.
It makes you do whatever needs to be done right away instead of procastinating and doing it at last minute.
I just had the 马上行动枪 moment. Was in bed an hour ago, at 11 plus, trying to get enuff sleep to wake up at 6am tml so that i can get to NTU at 8.40am. A 3 day job to give out grad gowns etc.
I felt the urge to prepare myself for a better tomorrow and there, I got up and started to pack up my messy study table, sort out stuffs in files , throw away outdated articles etc. Charge my ipod which has been dead for almost a week. Listen to the cd annette gave to me because she wanna get rid of unwanted memories. It's Jacky Cheung's Black and White album. Disc two has one of my fave song from him but I decided to kick start this more disciplined life in a disciplined manner and started with disc one. Upon opening the case, I realise that disc one is missing. haha. May be laying on a dusty shelf in ann's home. haha. Guess some memories will just stick to you like this dusty Disc One. And the undisciplined major piece of me got the way. ok i dunno how i digressed so far but here! to the pt! I was clearing my ipod harddisk and found something i was supposed to print in August 2008 but slipped my mind till now. TO my dearest tonglei, happy belated 21st! haha. doesn't this make you feel young again? like time has rewinded. It's August 2008 again. =)

Argentine dog saves abandoned baby

By Daniel Schweimler
BBC News, Buenos Aires

An eight-year-old dog has touched the hearts of Argentines by saving the life of an abandoned baby, placing him safely alongside her own new puppies.

The country's media are calling him "the miracle baby".

He was born prematurely to a 14-year-old girl in a shanty town outside the capital, Buenos Aires.

She is said to have panicked and abandoned the boy in a field, surrounded by wooden boxes and rubbish.

Then along came La China, reports say, the dog which somehow picked up the baby and carried him 50m to place him alongside her own puppies.

The dog's owner reported hearing the child crying and finding him covered with a rag.

The baby, weighing 4kg (8lb 13oz), had some slight injuries, but no bite marks.

Owner's concern

The owner called the police and the child is now being looked after by the authorities, while a decision is taken about his future.

The frightened mother appeared shortly after her baby was found.

The Argentine media has descended on the shanty town, talking of "the Argentine Romulus and Remus", the legendary founders of Rome, abandoned as babies and rescued by a wolf, nearly 3,000 years ago.

La China, worried about her own puppies, is reported to be petrified by her new found fame, and her owner says he is worried that she is not eating.

It took me a lot of courage to confront this desire in me.

I want to be nothing near to the scary huge buildings housing scary huge people.

I want a nice space so close to nature that my floor probably cannot escape from nature's dust, sea salt, leaves and flowers of wild plants on the mountains, sand older than me. I may finally feel in a piece then.

I feel miserable in this apartment which doesn't let enough sunlight in. I love sunlight. Sometimes I lose touch with time.

I'm 22 this year. Probably a time to set my goal in life and go for it. A scary thought, but I believe that it will be so rewarding in time to come.

It's not something major that my dear friend, you should be shocked and anticipate what I'll do. It's just a personal step of coming to my belief that governs my soul, and bring myself closer to what feels right.

Chill man~

ok, check out this cool dude and stuff he did.

A message from
Takashi Kobayashi

Sometimes I wonder where I would be now if sixteen years ago I had not moved to that small wooden apartment in the back alleys of Harajuku. I think about the living himalaya cedar I found there and the fundamentally different turns my life would surely have taken and can't help but feel the presence of some unseen power. Call it fate, call it what you will.


What exactly is it about treehouses that would so captivate a slacker like me, a man who could never devote himself to any one cause or finish anything he started? What is it in treehouses that attracts anyone? I've come to think the answer lies in the vitality of the trees themselves. Everlasting life.

Treehouse building has taken me to forests and woodlands across Japan - across the globe, and everywhere I've been, I've seen reflected in these largest and oldest of living beings the same nameless light that I've struggled to maintain within myself for so many years, the one that noone could tarnish and that never seemed to disappear. That comfort, that sense of calm, is something I'd like to share with as many people as possible. And it is with that in mind that I will continue with the one-of-a-kind rush that is treehouse creation, all the while carrying out my own personal dialogue with their hosts.

Because my companion is life itself. And as long as there are undiscovered trees still waiting...

Once upon a time, salon was carriable by a hand.



[a4 paper box cover]

[Loves to sneak up to sleep with my dad]



Like all cats, she LOVES plastic bags and will dash into one
the moment she spots it.





She sleeps in a distorted manner with her fave fa cai bang.



She loves walking on my study table searching for rubberbands. She'll kick them down once she finds them and play around with them for a good hour or two.



She had some fun outside. Got pregnant and gave birth.
This is her right after labour(5 fresh kittens)




Our ONLY clue to the father....



[zebra at esplanade roof garden, waiting for adopter]


Soon after, Salon's back to her single life, running around, flying everywhere, acting like a ninjia.














Climbing up to the corridor window to look at us when we leave the house




Divaly jumping up and sit right in front of the monitor
when I was watching friends...

[ she loves to paw the tiny humans on screen]


Lazing around in the kitchen with me on some sunny afternoon
humanly too impossibly hot for me to go out.
