Mysterious man

It was a very hot day, about 35 degrees.

I spent the afternoon with my baby at Ikea, enjoying the air-condition.
As I was having lunch at the burger king restaurant there, an elderly man walked up to us. He has gray hair and beard, wearing a loose shirt with a jade necklace round his neck. He looked very closely at my baby who's sitting in the pram, his face is about 15cm away from her. I was quite nervous, not knowing if he's a lunatic, and if he'll harm my baby, or was he just finding my baby cute but he is short-sighted??

He suddenly talked very loudly to me, he said "when your daughter grew up, send her to kindergarten, then to primary school, secondary school, junior colledge, university, then send her to me." After that, he shoved his name card to me and walked off.

There was alot of question marks floating above my head.

On the name card, there's only his name and residential address. I turned over the card and there were prints of the word Kodak. This is not a card, it's a 2R size photo. Errr... what's this all about? I wonder... crazy man? Well, it's a funny encounter.


View outside my window. Hot hot day, not a soul on the street, even the cats went into the shades...

Snip Snip Snip!

Made a sudden decision today.

I went to the hair salon and said goodbye to my long hair of many years. As the stylist snips away my hair, I was still asking myself if I was sure about this... Should I ask her to stop? Is it too late? I've got thick hair, so will my head look big when my hair is short? What if my husband cannot accept the drastic change, and I have to move to my mum's place for a few months to avoid him seeing me?
what if... what if... what if....????

I'm now sitting in front of my monitor typing this, sipping my hot coffee... listening to my favorite bossa nova music... smiling to myself

... waiting to see my husband's reaction when he gets home... ;)

A bucket of stained glass scraps...

Long before I started selling my stained glass pendants on ebay, I have been browsing at other artisans' works and found a girl who does very nice bold designs, you gotta check out her collage pendants too. She has a nice website named moonwaterdesigns.

I couldn't resist leaving a comment on her blog posting after reading that she too, gets excited over a bucket of stained glass scraps. You don't get to share this kinda same feelings with people everyday!
Surprisingly, she noticed me long time ago too! I'm so glad to finally know someone all the way from US who shares the same passion with me.

Thanks Nicole, it's good to know you :)
