Get a portrait drawn for $8?

Will you get your portrait drawn for $8? It is a very interesting concept...you get yourself drawn by a group of upcoming or established artists...and if you like any of the sketches, you pay $8 for each sketch you would like to bring home...if you do not like any, it is ok and you do not need to pay at all....

It felt a little strange sitting there in front of a big group of people who obviously have to look at you to sketch you.....

But woooo~ what a lot of styles~

Does the sketch look like me? =) Well, it does not matter as I really like the "feel" of this sketch....

Hahahaa....i think this is too cute to be true...=ppPPpp

Hur hur...outdoor lesson...=)

I wonder if you all remember this lesson....=) It sure was a hot day...=)

Hoping for the best...=)

Well....the last month was hectic....lots of stress....tomorrow...mum survived one major op...tomorrow we will know more results.... It may not be easy...but I thank who ever is there for the extended time period given....

New perspectives...re prioritising....nothing matters...more than time spent with family...

Happy snaps from speech day *finally* =D

The past few weeks have not been easy.....juggling work, marking and family...and to me, it is always family first...think it is time to share some happier moments....

Catch us rehearsing "That Thing You Do" before the big night!

A 3-min dance sure takes time to chereograph and even more time to practise!

My stage managers and other programme i/c+ sweet meiyee behind the scenes!

Our lead singer and 3 dancing queens! *Yeah right*

Someone in this picture has been nagging me for the photo....cher busy lar...

Mr Vimal, my great, reassuaring emcee partner & I!

I was a bundle of nerves backstage...hahaha...I

t was afterall a BIG event...

I only had time to take a few photos after the whole show....wanted to take photos with the performers...and other friends who dressed up for the event too...

Look at the things WE do...hahaha...

My ex students! (They looked strange coz they were trying to accomodate my height....thanks wor....*BLEAH*)

I wished I have taken a group photo with the finale segment performers! I really thing they did a great job! =DD

It might have been tiring....it might have been tough....

But there were definately many many moments I miss.....

=D

回想起三天前在手术室门外接近六个小时漫长的等待......

回想起手术前几分钟，老妈子轻声地说：

“I love you....”

长这么大，第一次听到老妈子亲口说出这三个字.....(而且还完全出乎意料地用英文)......

哭了......

****************************************

我这小康之家里的长辈是比较传统的一代，因此不是那种会公开跟孩子“示爱”的父母.....

他们的爱都通过许许多多小事与行动表达......

当我告诉他们我爱你的时候，他们还会说肉麻....少来.....

从未想过，老妈子会这么说......

*******************************************

感谢所有给予我和家人鼓励的朋友、同事们......

谢谢你们的祷告.......真的有用......

母亲暂时度过了难关.....现在在加护病房......

检查报告还为出炉.......虽然肿瘤已经切除....但我心里明白，应该是恶性的....只是不知道扩散的程度.....一切刚刚开始......

这将是场硬仗.......但，我打定了.....

****************************************

三天前，老妈子还问不知是否过得了生日.....不知是否有机会读过多一个生日.....

我不敢搭腔......因为，太多的未知数......

多庆幸今天能对老妈说声：“生日快乐。”

老天，我不知道你会给我多少时间.....

但，谢谢你.....

看着老妈子竟然有力气“碎碎念”说她很热.....想吃一碗冰.....

“妈，你肯定你刚动完这么大型的手术可以吃冰？？？”

老妈子全身都是插管，很肯定地回答：“医生说可以....”

（病床后明明贴着一张醒目的告示“Nil Feeding”....）

“真的吗......................真的那么热？”我用怀疑的眼神看着她

老妈子居然“狡辩”说：“我有吃药，吞药丸时不就喝了水嘛.....当然热啦，你试试躺在这里两天没有水喝....”


呵呵呵.....会“骂”人，就是好了.....

就多骂我、念我吧....

今天是你的生日，就给你吃小小的一块冰啦......

还有24小时....

看着妈妈在面前打着盹儿....

昨夜我在医院“值夜班”......就是呆在医院，看妈妈需要什么.....

能做的，不多。

至少她睁开眼睛时，我在视线范围内......

有多少安抚的作用，我不知.....只希望有那么一点儿作用......

***************************************

其实人初到人世时，不就是吃、喝、拉、撒？

理所当然到了最后，也就是吃、喝、拉、撒.......

没什么好别扭、尴尬的...只不过是身份倒转......

*****************************************

昨天在值夜班前，还觉得哇，不知道会不会无法彻夜不眠.......

突然，天就亮了.....当然，有小睡了会儿.....怕医生误认病人才连忙从病床爬了起来.....累了，借老妈的半张床位睡了会儿.....

还有二十四小时.....妈妈就要动手术了.....

*****************************************

“谢谢你留下来陪我啊~只是想多看你几眼.....”

我也想多看你几眼啊......

“还有两天.....”

能不能不只两天？能不能给我多一点儿时间？

“好像很少这样抱着你......”妈妈轻声说道。

我和往常一样毫无形象，因为坐得累了就钻到病床上歇会儿.....忍不住抱着妈妈时，她轻声在耳边说道.....

看似漫不经心说出的几句话，却蕴含着丝丝幽幽哀怨.....

每一次.....

当你握着我的手掌......

当你轻揉我的指头......

当你轻拍我的肩膀......

当你说：“想多看你几眼......”

心犹如被无形的手扭搅成一团.....隐隐作痛......皱褶里尽是不舍与依恋......
