    Love Love for you!
    Thank you for the sparkles, thank you for the happy, thank you for the love and thank you for the laughter. You give me much to smile about, you give my children much to smile and laugh about and most of all (indirectly) you give me a hubby who manages to make me laugh doubly hard when the two of you unintentionally pair up together. Thank you ...


    So so very glad to know you!

    So very very glad to know you all too! ^_^ My wonderful f-list. *snuggles*
    Internet life has been good to me and the line has long since blurred because many of you figure HUGE in my RL! SO yeah life is being good to me, you ALL have been wonderful to me. Love love for you all too! *throws rainbow sparkles and love over everyone!*

    Congratulations to the New MRS TAN!!!!
    Otherwise known as Lydia also famous for being [info]oviparous Also ... how this really is a small, small world and how LRD is an even smaller, teeny tiny island.
    My weekend started great enough I had dinner with some friends,

    From left to right PY, me, 'tiqa, Mas.
    When I began my foray into ff, I had this reviewer who wrote me lovely comments. After several months of correspondence in e-mails we discovered we lived practically next door to each other. Yaay! *snuggles the 'Tyka* I can't get over how lovely you are to me and how patient you are with the children. They adore you! So okay that is one fandom anime/manga... hmm I dunno was that four years ago?
    What this has to do with a wedding you ask? ) My f-list you are all incredibly wonderful and awesome and I will never get over feeling good from basking in your love. Love and congratulations to Lydia and Hubby.
    Love, blessings and joy to my f-list. *big grin, happy smiles* ^______^

    A Picture Post ... ^_^ Goodnight all!
    The day was lovely ...bright sun and fluffy clouds. I managed to run errands early enough in the day I could even have a little nap. Two blessed hours! So we were a little late in leaving but we made it in good time, not in time for the candied apples which were sold out even last year. *sigh* early as we were there were others even earlier!
    For those new to my lovely little family here we are at the Natsu Matsuri, held at the Japanese Sec. School (Changi Campus) on our LRD.
    YaaayyY!! Pictures! )

    ... and look what we found under the stage after all the drumming and dancing were over? Isn't it so cute! It was very tiny!

    It was a lovely afternoon which developed into a balmy, breezy evening even. Love and hugs to the f-list!

    *waves hello* - sort of weakly! -SELAMAT BERPUASA!
    Uhhmm nothing to see here really. I do want to write some sort of nice something to post but the brain is not cooperating and *sigh* I'm tired. Just that life is busy. It just feels really busy and I don't know how but it feels like its going - whatever fast cars are going - kind of fast. See I did say the brain isn't working. As it is I've had to go back over typos so many times I'm just going to give up while I'm ahead!

    Yes I Am crazy busy but still alive and generally happy! ^__^

    Hungry Ghost Month (or Seventh Month) just started.
    Ramadhan starts tonight. Happy and safe fasting all.
    Natsu Matsuri at the Japanese Secondary School tomorrow
    Clan gathering on Sunday
    Kid's birthday party next weekend
    OMG Friend's WEDDING weekend after next
    One week school holidays on the heels of wedding
    but .... YAAAAAY! Yes it might be ONLY the Seventh Month but Mooncakes are now out in force! ^__^ *waves weakly some more* - *goes off to join the ranks of the undead!*

    Also much love to you all! and *hugs* - albeit weakly.

    Also *head desk* - I forgot ... I love my wonderful f-list! *totters off to do laundry* - Humanoid Zombie vs Laundry Zombie. Sounds like a bad b-movie to me. ^_^

    Current Music: can't hear much at all! It's all just a hum.

    Title: Across the Universe

    Images of broken light which
    dance before me like a million eyes
    That call me on and on across the universe
    Thoughts meander like a
    restless wind inside a letter box
    they tumble blindly as
    they make their way across the universe – The Beatles

    Well I thought I was crazy with the busy before ... but .. of course I was wrong...
    So yes the June school holidays are upon us and that means hanging out lots with my two - which I do not mind generally - and thinking of things to keep two children occupied ... FOR FOUR WEEKS!!!! Ask me how I am in four weeks you might be getting a reply from a corpse.
    But first a Finnish song! a translation )

    Ahh well so now we get to the *REALLY* exciting part! Ok maybe not! The school holidays it started yesterday! *DIES*

    Cut to save the f-list from motherly whining and woes )
    *DED* See you in four weeks people! WEll I'll probably see you in less than that time because LJ keeps me healthy in fangirl squee and sparkles and of course even if I don't have the energy to comment I read your posts!

    Snuggles and showers the f-list with LOve!

    oh from the mouth of babes ....
    I will reply to backdated comments, entries and posts eventually but first this...

    Darian (aged 6 and a half): Mama, you know you keep asking to tidy up...
    Mama (aka zan) : Yes ....?
    Darian : You know ... if we were tidy ALL the time
    zan : Yes that would make me so very happy! (is being hopeful)
    Darian : But Mama, you know you wouldn't have anything to do then ...
    zan : @_o
    Darian : So ... it's like a cycle of tidy and untidy and we're all happy!
    zan : " ...."

    AMAZONdotCom; FAIL!? Maybe -
    From [info]glass_icarus, here. Summarised quite well with edits by [info]such_heights, here ... and an article from the LA Times Amazon de-ranks gay friendly books

    A list from commumnity Meta-Writer include Stephen Fry's Memoir, Brokeback Mountain, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Neil McKenna's 'Secret Life of Oscar Wilde' and a whole host of others which includes self help books for teens through to adults. Updated as the list grows longer! And Two .. Writers share their Amazon woes!

    They have been classified as 'ADULT' material, however you can still find hard core HET porn on DVD and books. It isn't that you cannot buy them. Ohnononno ... you can but what it does is [QUOTE] from someone who caould say it better than me:
    They have instituted an obviously discriminatory policy regarding what shows up on bestseller lists and the like. Non-explicit (and even non-fictional, historical books) have been deemed 'adult' and had their sales rankings removed, effectively removing them from the public eye.

    Thank you [info]a_mael for the heads up and the links!

    EDIT: On the other hand ... this might help see another side to the suation! of meta trolls and things

    Current Mood: disappointed
    Current Music: just birds, traffic and just sounds.

    So ... obviously there's some kind of virus going round the world!
    I did well. Really well. Boy was sick then girl then boy again (oh yes the drama of rushing into Children's Accident & Emergency, NUH with a temp. of 39.3 Celcius and peaked at 39.9 totally fun ...) Three weeks I survived it all.

    So the body decides to rebel just so I will go to sleep. Early. I alrerady had my blackcurrant lemsip and now I go sleep! Yes now! ^__^ Yes sleep police I see you ... I'm going!

    Love and hugs to the f-list. Lots of Vit.C, fluids - warm water is best, and rest.

    Oh MY ... You are all made of awesomeness and love!!! SO much LOVE!!!



    Thank you all for your well wishes!!!



    You don't know how much spirit boosting they were. But they were and made the few dark nights that much shorter. The boy is better now and will be back in school tomorrow. *sigh* and I actually feel somewhat human. The girl has been a star being helpful and independent whilst I looked after the boy. Hubby too did all the things like shopping and running around on errands. Thank you everyone.

    I'm blessed truly! Love and hugs Everyone!

    GAIDEN..... I collect my copy of Ward tomorrow and and I almost don't want to!!!
    Konzen on the front cover. According to Minekura sensei Gaiden will end with the next installment. The rain it comes for a reason. *sigh*

    On the home front ... things are not so good. )
    I daren't close my eyes I might not open them for a few days. It never rains but pours they say. It certainly is pouring. Actually, allegorically and something else-ly! Hah!

    Zan obviously shouldn't post when she's tired because she does not make sense.

    love to everyone. take care and much hugs

    Link sharing again: Linguistics, a post on Chinese Honorifics ...
    I know some of you or those who watch [info]woxinchangdan (otherwise known as the great revival) might be interested, so i share, an example of a perfectly normal sentence: "How old is your daughter?" in the plainest form of Chinese: 你的女儿几岁了?

    I'm sharing links these days because my muses and my bunnies all ran away. And have no pretty words of my own to share with you!

    Love and hugs to the f-list! Awesome as always.
