he came in on a beautiful Friday afternoon
neatly groomed young man with a kind smile on his face
looked around for a few minutes
and asked to see the pair of ruby earrings on display
they were over two thousand dollars that gorgeous pair
of drop diamond and ruby earrings
they are lovely he said
unfortunately my budget is only a thousand
it's for my wife as a gift for our first baby.
wow! congratulations to being a father!
he smiled and looked away...
well I just wanted to get something special for my
wonderful wife.
we.. ermm... actually lost the baby at birth...
the sadness as he spoke the last words was deeply
(Almost shockingly) heart breaking
I just want to give her present as a gift for everything
she has gone through...
I'm sure I will find something special...
and yes we did our best for him..

wall paper
have a mad desire to do up a feature wall in the living
so dying for a beautiful wall paper
o my inspiration above...
im thinking warm metallic shades of gold
with calm neutral shades of a chocolate
layered with of silhouettes of a forest
giving a mystical touch to offset
my rich antique red 3 seater,
or some floral patterns like below...
Leaning strongly towards these 3 designs after scouring the web for suppliers
and wallpaper patterns...
bottom one might best work with the leather seater color.
But absolutely love the bamboo on the left.
one of my fellow designers at work ordered some samples in
and they've got this lovely metallic sheen that is simply to die for..
I think add high polished floor lamp (still hunting for an affordable one that will gain geek husband's approval) as an up light in the corner...
position side table which was scored at the local camberwell sunday market... and a matching leather ottoman...
add plants to give the 3 dimensional feel... and viola...
so u who r reading this, which wallpaper do you like??:)

They
they
look like soul mates.
5 children they share between them.
I grew apart with my ex-wife he said.
his daughters will have to accept that dad's moved on.
he found her... she who seems so perfect and so in tuned with him.
she has moved on too.. and so too must her children
their children's age is about my own.
I wonder how I would feel in their shoes.
they are getting married next year.
how would the 2 families change?
seems like a norm nowadays.
one of the many couples I meet every other week,
getting married for the second time.
4 adults sharing each other's children.
are we children any more? or is it time we grew up.
does growing up mean we understand our parents must
move on too?
that they too are looking for not just love,
but for happiness.
they've strove to give their children happiness all their lives.
are we selfish as children to want things to stay the same
when everything's changed?
their children think they are moving too quick.
but at our age, it is not happening too fast at all, she says.
we know...
And happiness they seemed to have found,
for I felt in their presence an immense beyond words emotion
that they for one... of the many many couples I meet...
amazingly...
look like soul mates...:)

Amazing Animation
CLICK & PLAY!
THIS is REALLY cool!
see Animator vs. Animation by *alanbecker
wonder how he looks like... and whether he's a true blue geek.
maybe my husband can be friends with him (but geek husband
lacks this animation area of talent hahha!)
Artist's Comments
An animator faces his own animation in deadly combat. The battlefield? The Flash interface itself.A stick figure is created by an animator with the intent to torture. The stick figure drawn by the animator will be using everything he can find - the brush tool, the eraser tool - to get back at his tormentor. It's resourcefulness versus power. Who will win? You can find out yourself.-- This took three long months.. i think it's worth it.
