Mainstream Defiler

If I were a person living in the middle ages, I would be a woman who knows how to read (at that time, people outside the church did not learn how to read/write) and just so happen to have a black cat, and was fried at the stake.

Since then, I never choose a role that's boring as so called 'mainstream role'.  Although I bought into 'mainstream' a long long time ago, thinking that I'd be an awesome accountant for the big 5 with a super IT husband and a pair of cutesy pie kids.  

To have life turned out like what it is now, is like trying to go to London-England, but somehow ending up at London-Canada.

I guess I'm a 'mainstream defiler' and I've been given a very much non-mainstream child.  Call her "special needs kid", call her "autistic", call her "naughty", I call her my love.

Everyday I wake up and thank the source for giving me the life that I never expected.  That my world is so different from my peers' and that makes me ready for anything and everything.

2013

2013 is a year of great changes and acceleration of growth.
We go through life limiting ourselves, thinking we cannot hear, therefore we cannot dance.
When we start feeling instead of struggling to hear, we start listening to the whispers of our higher self.
Like the deaf dancers of the thousand handed Guan Yin, we can then start to dance to the daily cues of our lives.

The Art of Cantonese Opera

The thing I like most about travelling is that sometimes you encounter an unexpected exhibition in the places you pass through.

Have you ever watched a Cantonese Opera?  Yes, one of those nasal high pitched singing that's been around for centuries in China?
Did  you know that if one of the character started spinning his/her head round and round (like headbanging in a heavy metal concert, but 360 degrees spin), it means that he/she has gone mad.
There are many other specific gestures in a classic Chinese opera that signifies a certain mood or status.  Very interesting topic which happened to intrigue my little daughter.
So while she was enjoying the interactive video show of these different gestures, I took a few snapshots.

The Caterpillar

Look what we found on our rock last weekend!   

City folks like us finds much excitement in simple things like watching this hairy not so little creature wriggle.

Recognising Pattern???

This morning when I looked at the calendar, I went "Huuhh???"

Beauty or Beast?

Strangely enough, we found this big fella up on our roof.  

We don't have any trees in our surrounding, there's nothing they can nibble on for food (if you don't count cables).  Yet, this we found.  

Work of art?  Or work of the dark arts?  It's in the eye of the beholder.

Siamese Twin Eggs

This pair was found inside the door's panel.

The bear, the phone, and the thumb.

Jasmine flower is still bigger.

The "siamese twin".
