W/W - Mother's Day Gift

My mother's day gift from Josh, my 16 year-old son. He bought these with the money he had saved from those red envelopes (ang-pow) he received during Chinese New Year.

Aren't these gorgeous??  Until the next time he tells me I'm the worst mom ever when those crazy teenage hormones act up again, I am awarding him favourite child status for now!!!  LOL!!!

Happy Mother's Day

To all the moms out there - HAVE A BLESSED MOTHER'S DAY!

Sushi Cats

These sushi cats are created by Japan-based company Tange & Nakimushi Peanuts. And if you are wondering why on earth those kitties are sushified, here's the explanation from their website.

What is “Neko-Sushi”?

Neko-Sushi is an extremely unusual life-form consisting of a cat on top of a portion of sushi rice.
Although several references have come down to us through history from various researchers and witnesses, their existence is still shrouded in mystery and actual sightings remain rare.
There are several academics who have devoted their lives to the study of these creatures. According to a number of these, Neko-Sushi make use of gaps in space to come to us from an alternate dimension. Beyond these “gaps” lies the world of the Neko-Sushi in which, it is recently understood, lies the true identity of the cats that dwell with us here in the human dimension.

W/W - Oreo

Yep, that kinda sums up what she does all day. Unlike a cat or dog, she doesn't respond nor come to you when you call out her name. And her face is so expressionless, she might as well be Kristen Stewart.

But her redeeming quality is her cuteness and  for that, we love her to death.

Bread Therapy

My friends think I'm crazy for devoting what they imagine to be hours of precious time to bake my own bread when you can get it at the store for a fraction of the dough. Sorry for the half-baked pun! It's hard to explain but kneading soft dough is wonderfully therapeutic. It's just like yoga in the kitchen! I enjoy those quiet moments standing at the counter - methodically stirring, folding, and mixing, allowing my mind to run free. Besides, there is nothing like a little elbow grease (a lot, actually) to work out those flabby arms! There is a great sense of euphoria and accomplishment in turning that gooey lump into just about anything you imagine it to be.

And you can always share pictures of your accomplishments on your blog if you're in knead of something to post about!

W/W - Go-Karting

My boys trying out go-kart racing for the first time.

A little apprehensive at first ......

but after the first lap, they were ready to go full throttle

It was certainly an unforgettable experience.

Matej Peljhan - The Little Prince

Slovenian photographer Matej Peljhan helps the imagination of a a boy stricken with muscular dystrophy come alive by creating this series of heartwarming images entitled "The Little Prince".
Twelve year-old Luka is wheelchair bound and his movements are limited to mostly his fingers.
Muscular dystrophy  is a cruel degenerative disease which will make him weaker and weaker over time.

Luka is now able to explore a world that's beyond the confines of his wheelchair

The images were created without the help of Photoshop, using only coloured sheets and household objects

Cleverly placed ping-pong balls and socks make the perfect undersea dreamscape

The idea was implemented when during a conversation between Matej and Luka , the latter said he would like to see himself in pictures, getting up to mischief.

Andy Prokh
