I Will Break You – Formula Drift The Gauntlet
They call it the Gauntlet for a reason. It's a track where real automotive combat goes down. Cars break, wreck, catch fire, and only the strong survive. By the time the event is wrapped up, the track looks like a mini war zone / junk yard. Parts are everywhere. The rails are bent, tire pieces everywhere, broken bumpers, wings, etc. Even the media guys and some fans don't leave un harmed (sun burn). This years Formula Drift round 4 at Wall Speedway was no exception. [click to continue…]
Into the Pits of Formula Drift Miami
Formula Drift Miami. My title for Round 3 was crew for Nate Hamilton. My duties involved changing tires, mechanical work on the car, and working on pit lane ensuring that the car was ready to run. Due to the track layout, pit lane only offered a view of cars launching from grid, initiating drift, and quickly disappearing from view around the first corner. This means I would be seeing minimal drifting this weekend. Although this doesn't sound ideal, I have learned that grid is an exciting world of its own that not many get insight into.

Formula Drift Rookie Nate Hamilton: Part 2
Made my second stop at Nate Hamilton's shop and as you can see, the engine made it in and was being worked on during my visit. Nate is using a LS7/LS3 built by LG Motorsport – a bigger motor than what he ran last year. It's basically a LS7 head with a LS3 block. LG Motorsport will tune the car as well. This year, Nate picked up Holley as a sponsor so will be using Holley throttle body, fuel rails, etc. More photos after the jump.
A Visit with Formula Drift Rookie Nate Hamilton
Had a chance to catch up with Formula Drift rookie Nate Hamilton at his shop just outside of Dallas, Texas. Nate will begin his rookie season of Formula Drift this April in Long Beach. We've been following him around for a couple of years so definitely looking forward to his first run at the pro level. He's building a brand new S13 similar to the one he ran last year in which he earned his Formula D pro license. Last year's S13 will be used for demos, local stuff and perhaps some international events. More photos after the jump.

Nate Hamilton's Nissan S13 for 2012
We had the opportunity to shoot Nate's S13 last year and were excited to hear what he had in store for 2012. If you spent anytime on the web this past week you've likely seen the teaser photo Nate and his team released. As we expected, it caught fire and is being praised by many of the industry's leaders as one of the best looking non-pro drift cars out today. Luckily, I happen to reside a 40 minute drive away from Mr. Hamilton and jumped at the opportunity to feature it on WMD once more!
XDC Driver Nate Hamilton Meet and Greet at Kincaids; Team JDM Relief Charity and NOS
Team JDM Relief along with NOS Energy put together a meet and greet for Nate Hamilton (pictured above) this evening to help launch the JDM Relief charity for the good people of Japan.

Matt of NOS Energy.
Nate and crew t-shirts, Enkei Wheels catalogs, What Monsters Do Stickers and NOS Energy drinks. Official.
Marcus' Honda Fit with newly bought Enkei RPF1 SBC wheels. Dope!
Marcus popped the hood to reveal the Honda Fit motor built by Kustomz Unltd. So serious.
Geoff dropped by in his Jotech built Nissan 350Z with Volks.
Ulisses' (Saul Canelo Alvarez look a like) Honda s2000 with Rays and Works.
A bunch of the Scion guys came out as well. More XB Scions than I've seen in a while… in one place. This one sporting some Axis OG wheels.
Definately one of my favorite cars at the meet was Chanh's from Team Just One… Lexus iS350 with Strasse Forge SM8 step lip 20×9 in front and 20×10.5 for rears. So dope!!
We had a great time meeting and talking with everyone, looking forward to the next meet. Enjoy the rest of the pics! – Alex

Posted 07 November 2012 - 12:41 PM
I saw that a few people were from here in another thread (the one about friends).
At the risk of looking like an idiot if no-one replies, is anyone interested in a meet-up? I'm in the outer-eastern suburbs, very close to the Yarra Ranges and love a good excuse to go into the hills.
Posted 07 November 2012 - 12:44 PM
I might be depending on day!
Posted 07 November 2012 - 08:06 PM
Great RachelT! Whereabouts are you? I'm out Croydon way.
A little about me, for anyone who's interested. I have one DS, almost 18 months, who is a little bit awesome I'm a teacher when I'm not a SAHM. I love cooking and am a bit of a foodie (god that sounds w*n*erish!); I don't drink wine but I love visiting wineries (mostly for the food!). I also love music and art and reading.
Posted 07 November 2012 - 09:17 PM
If you ever feel like driving for 2.5 hours, let me know and i would love to meet up
Posted 09 November 2012 - 05:17 PM
Yes!!!! count me in! I'm in Belgrave, work almost full time, 2 kids (DS is 7, DD is 5) ... into vegie gardening, wine, home cooked food, sewing / craft. I love reading but rarely get enough quiet time these days to get into a good book!
I'd love to meet up and make some new friends
Posted 09 November 2012 - 05:30 PM
I'm in! I live out Croydon way as well. I am a SAHM to three kids DD1-5, DD2-almost 3 and DS-9 months. I love reading and I'm addicted to Facebook and EB!
Would love to meet some new people
Posted 09 November 2012 - 07:23 PM
I'm in the hills, but I'm childless and would feel a bit out of place!

I'm through the hills and about 45 mins out the other side.

I live out towards Gippsland but come in that direction regularly.
I'm also childless at the moment Kalota but would love to make some new friends!!

Hey, don't feel like you'd be out of place!!! I'd love to meet people regardless of whether or not they have kids We can always arrange child free meet ups too - believe me I would LOVE to meet up with other people without my kids blathering away over the top of my attempts to chat
Posted 09 November 2012 - 08:14 PM
I love excuses to head up into the hills!
Zepallina I'm not far from Croydon and have an almost 18mo DS too I don't drink either but love going to wineries lol.
Posted 09 November 2012 - 08:29 PM
bluedragon, are you me??? lol
Kalota you wouldn't be out of place at all!! As lottiebobs said, we could have child-free catch-ups too if that suited people - but anyone and everyone would be welcome to the 'childed' catch-ups as well, of course!
Oh I'm getting all excited now. Should we talk location? I was thinking maybe Mount Evelyn? How far is that for people? I know there's a cafe there called 'Baby Let's Cruz' which is meant to be very kid-friendly, which might suit. Or we could meet at a park or something?
And date? It's getting to a busy time of year, I imagine it will be difficult to find a time that suits everyone. I'm free Monday to Wednesday during the day. I was thinking maybe 19/20/21 of November, if we want to do it soon, or first week of December if we want to give everyone a bit more time to get organised?

And of course people should come regardless of kids or not!
I can do mon, tues any time and afternoons the rest of the week. Mt Evelyn is ok for me too. Just looked up the cafe and it sounds really nice (I love finding new kid friendly cafes!) but am also happy with a park, so I'll go with the consensus.

Is anyone still interested in a meet up? I'm sitting here bored on a Saturday night thinking I really would love to meet some new people!
Posted 01 December 2012 - 07:49 PM
Yes, I am! There wasn't much of a response about date/time so I figured I'd leave it for a bit, then forgot about the thread!
So, I'll try again, and I might PM those people who seemed interested... anyone interested in a meet up on Monday the 17th of December? I know it's a little close to Christmas, but I think otherwise we'll never do it! I'm thinking we meet up at the cafe in Mt Evelyn (Baby Let's Cruz) at around 10am?
Posted 01 December 2012 - 08:06 PM
Yes, still interested
That date and time if fine for me, looking forward to it!
Posted 02 December 2012 - 05:50 AM
Yes, still interested and able to come. Thanks for the PM Zepellina. Count me in .

Posted 02 December 2012 - 08:18 AM
Hi Zepellina, I replied to your PM but not sure if it worked as I am on my iPad and its a bit glitchy! Thanks so much for the invite, I would love to come but have work mon-fri. Thanks though for the thought! :-)
Posted 13 December 2012 - 07:42 PM
Okay, so I've made a reservation at Baby Let's Cruz at 10am. If any of you can't make it, can you please let me know, and if anyone else would like to come, can you please let me know and I'll change the booking.
Looking forward to meeting some of you!
Posted 13 December 2012 - 08:00 PM
So many people from Mt Evelyn here. I wonder how many of you I've seen in IGA now
Posted 13 December 2012 - 08:15 PM
I would love to come with my three kids. Please add us to your booking! How will we recognise each other?

Easily Separating Worms From Castings: My Invention
I came up with and tested this idea I had a while back and I am happy to report, it works! Very well! It is no longer a "Thought Experiment". Rather than using incandescent bulbs to drive worms down, I used old aquarium heating cables to drive them up. The cables warm slowly, giving the worms time to get away. The rising heat follows the worms up the food column forcing them from the base tub thru the mesh and into the new food tray.
After a few hours, the base tub is free of ALL worms and they are crowded into the top new food tray. My guess is reptile heat pads could be used to substitute for heating cables though I never tried it.
1. Zero worm loss in castings.
2. Minimal worm disturbance.
3. Can be integrated into an overall 2-3 level bin design (surprised this has not been done already).
4. Allows control over when mass casting amounts are harvested.
This post was edited by Boukmn on Mon, Dec 16, 13 at 16:24
The cables are actually inside the bottom bin, not under. The worm castings are just shoveled atop the cables till it slightly heaps over the bin rim. This is to ensure the castings are in direct contact with the mesh bottom of the new bedding / food bin.
I am working on another design built around a heat mat instead of aquarium heating cables. The new design will a built-in part of the worm bin itself that can simply be plugged in when you want to drive all the worms out of the castings into new media.
Honestly, I am really surprised no one thought of this idea before. Once you incorporate sub-media heat to move the worms up, you really never need more than a 2-tiered bin.
Currently, the worm bin heating cables that exist seem geared to maintaining optimal temperatures for worms. The aquarium cables gradually rise to reach a temp range that safely makes the worms uncomfortable.
I won't be surprised to see a manufacturer tweak thermostats and come up with an incorporated worm bin design within a few months. When you see how thoroughly the bin is voided of worms in just a couple hours you'll be a convert. I lost ZERO worms left in the castings...even the tiny baby ones made their vertical escape.
On a larger scale it is easy to see how using sub-litter heat in this way could make a commercial vermicomposting operation more profitable.
Sounds like a great idea and I would love to try it out. What size mesh on top tray? I assume it is placed directly on the soil of lower bin... After they are separated and you remove the castings, do you just dump all the worms back to original bin? (Yes, I am a newbie :) although my worms are multiplying like crazy.) Any other suggestions & info would be a great help. Thanks from Mich
The top fresh bedding tray is really my compost sifter employed for this experiment. The bottom mesh is 1/4 inch.
The tub is filled with enough worm culture so it gets slightly above the rim. This ensures the mature culture stays in contact with the fresh material through the wire mesh.
Once it has all the worms, the contents become the base addition to a restarted worm bin culture.

are schefflera invasive?
I have this type of scheffera. Should I worry about it?
I am thinking I should get rid of it...
It's not that they spread by the roots, when they flower the wind blows the seeds, so you might not ever see a new plant. But 4 blocks away a new one is growing. If you keep them pruned and don't allow it to flower it shouldn't be a problem, but they are listed as class one invasive in S Fl. :o)
ha, oddly enough I had a seedling in one of my pots the other day, I was hoping it was from the plant already growing but it wasn't, it was a schefflera. I haven't removed it yet but I have no idea where it came from, I have a small one on the other side of the house but I keep it severely pruned.
I guess I was wondering if it was going to spread too much from limbs hitting the ground and rooting, and if the roots were going to do bad things. I think my neighbor had the growing habits mixed up with the non-dwarf type.
I will keep it pruned.
I take it back. I think it IS invasive. I just looked at mine carefully. I see that it has a habit of spreading roots out from the base, and lower branches that have roots coming out of them that hit the ground. Then a new bush is created there. It did take about 6 years for this to happen, but I think that it is going to spread faster, now that it is established. The root system seems to laterally spread. I now wish I had not planted it. Actually, I never "planted it". I was one of those things that I brought home and left in the pot. Never got around to planting it and it rooted anyway. The plastic pot is still at the base of the bush. The variegated ones behave a lot better.
I am familiar with these trees from the 14 years I lived in the Keys. They are invasive, have heard of foundation slabs cracking or lifting up from the roots of one growing too close. If I had one growing within 20 feet of my home I'd dig it up.
They make beautiful privacy and wind screens if planted together in a row,...but only if they are away from any home foundations.
I'm in zone 9b and have schefflera growing about 3' away from the house. They're an accident, but turned out lovely. I purchased a few small plants for one planter, but as they grew, they got moved into the yard. My schefflera isn't verigated, and was supposed to be a dwarf...HA! I keep them pruned into a hedge but leave long branches growing up the sides of the porch...sounds bizarre, looks fantastic. Mine have never bloomed, but then again, I'm a heavy pruner!

It is absolute foolishness of
It is absolute foolishness of bashing people who like sports. I used to think sports was retarded and pointless and that only ignorant people watched sports. And then I became a fan of basketball. Sports symbolizes a lot of things to people. And for others it's recreation and enjoyment.
You are not helping yourself by bashing people for participating in and doing things that they like. You are injecting negativity into a relationship that could otherwise be defined by positive vibes.
When you tell someone who follows sports that they are a mindless ignorant idiot, you are telling them that what they enjoy is stupid. It would be like telling someone oh you like reading? That's stupid ... you like art? That's stupid .. you like working on cars? That's stupid! ...
Think about you ... you are the one's being stupid and hurting yourselves by painting a target on yourself that you are an A**hole .. and anything else you say in the future will be regarded as nonsense.
Be smart ... and be positive. There's nothing wrong with following sports at all.
Insulting people will do nothing to promote and spread liberty.
All paper money eventually returns to its real intrinsic value, zero. - Voltaire

"Gloriously Gruesome" Welcomes Enthusiastic Crowd
On Wednesday, 19 October, the Massachusetts Historical Society opened its doors to current and potential associate members for a reception and presentation of some of the "gloriously gruesome" items in our collections. Guests were treated to food and drink in the historic Dowse Library, followed by a show and tell given by Elaine Grublin, Head of Reader Services.
Refreshments were catered by Formaggio Kitchen (Cambridge, Mass.) and the appropriately gruesome "dark and stormy" rum punch received high marks from the taste-testers.
During the reception portion of the evening, guests wandered the public galleries on a scavenger hunt. Here, two attendees examine manuscript items on display as part of The Purchase of Blood: Massachusetts in the Civil War, 1861-1862 exhibition.
The presentation was held in our portrait gallery, and following a brief welcome by Dennis Fiori, President of the Society, Elaine Grublin introduced a number of objects in our collections with shady histories. These included a bronze death mask, an account of murder and dismemberment at Harvard Medical School, a scrap of towel bearing the blood of Abraham Lincoln, specimens of human hair and bone, a bird preserved in arsenic, and the noose that is purported to have hanged John Brown.
For those unable to attend, a number of these items were highlighted in Boston Magazine in 2009 and an online version of that article is still available.
Following the talk, guests were invited to the front of the room for a closer viewing.
We were excited to see many first-time visitors at the Society, and hope that everyone felt warmly welcomed. We invite folks to consider membership at the MHS, to return as researchers, or to attend one of our many public programs

- What women are saying about you when you're not around. Spoiler: They're mostly just saying, "Who?"
- Gronk is enjoying the Patriots parade. Screw the Pats, but you have to respect this man's MVP-level partying.
- If you don't want to get caught cheating, maybe don't bang in front of a giant window that's across the street from a crowded bar. Just sayin'.
- McDonald's "Pay it with Lovin'" campaign is already backfiring. And this doesn't even include all the hobos offering handjobs for McMuffins.
- Here's a bunch of girls in short shorts. Because we love you, that's why.
- Randy Quaid humps his wife in a Rupert Murdoch mask. How these two haven't been given 10 reality shows, I will never understand.
- Anderson Silva tested positive for steroids. The man fights in a cage for a living, I'm going to go ahead and let him do whatever the hell he wants.

Photoshop Cs5 Filters Animation" is a small tribute to Photoshop filters. We used the Ps logo and systematically applied the filters in the same way, seeking the essence of the software, exploring the aesthetic values of its resources but letting the spectator judge them.
The project is comprised of two parts:
A tumblr page (photoshopcs5filtersanimation.tumblr.com) , where all the effects live together at the same time as animated gif, representing all the steps from the original Ps logo to the final output.
And a video showing every filter one after each other, with a custom sound design that uses the same sound for each filter but with a different distortion effect for every case, exporting the graphical concept to the sound.
In both parts, the order of appearance is the same that offers photoshop.

This Year, Our Year
2014 was a little bit of everything. It was a year when we worked hard and played hard. When the three of us grew up in our own ways and as a family. When we became acutely aware, more so than ever (if that's even possible), that family comes first. When we started praying together as a family, every night before Faith goes to bed. The year zipped past, chock full of laughter and joy, with a little bit of drama and some heartbreaking tears from personal struggles, and it ended off on a quiet note, with Faith going to bed on New Year's Eve, softly chiming, "Happy New Year, Mama. Happy New Year, Papa", and with M and I solemnly reflecting on our lives at the stroke of midnight as we crossed into 2015.
The greatest changes were evident in the little powerhouse of ours. Faith started pre-school in March and grew up very quickly after that. She can now speak in full and rather long sentences, string and express her train of thoughts quite coherently, and insists on doing things on her own. "No Mama, Faith wear shoes herself", she says whenever I forget that she is no longer a baby who needs Mama to tend to her every need. She continues to be a joyful girl who now loves to sing (like a rockstar) and dance (like a member of some indigenous tribe with two left feet) to anything that is remotely rhythmic. She is mostly an easygoing, chatty child with family, generally shy in the presence of others and extremely loving, one who is always quick to express genuine concern when somebody is in tears or yelps in pain. I will not forget how she has somehow learnt to hand me tissues, rub my back and ask, "You okay?" with furrowed brows whenever I cry. Her antics and conversations with us have M and I laughing until our bellies hurt. And she laughs like it truly matters, when we do. We often find ourselves staring at each other incredulously whenever she says or does something extraordinary, which is pretty darn often, and we wouldn't have it any other way. There were the epic displays of tantrums, of course, but thankfully, they were far and few between; whilst we did feeling like gouging our own eyeballs out on certain occasions, there has been no casualties. 2014 was the year when we watched Faith's personality come into being and we can't wait to see how she blossoms next, even as I quietly lament at how she is no longer my squishy baby.
We also enjoyed more time as a family with holidays and a better work-life balance for M; this is in stark contrast to our topsy-turvy lives back in 2012 and 2013 when we barely saw M. We travelled to Bali and stayed in a villa with a large private pool, where Faith fell head over heels in love with what she thinks constitutes swimming (she can't swim and hates going under the water, so….). We sat through the worst traffic congestions ever in Jakarta and lugged Faith along to the most kid-unfriendly activities such as vintage shopping in the extreme heat. Faith also gamely tucked into the dirtiest street foods with us (bún chả, anyone?) in Hanoi and we all survived. And we enjoyed the most beautiful spring in Sydney, where we spent lots of time running outdoors and soaking up the sun rays in the cool, dry weather. We giggled and cuddled lots during our family vacations, as if to make up for the time lost in the two years before. Most of all, we saw M on a more regular basis, at humane hours too, and we cannot be more thankful for the new working arrangement.
2014 was also a year when I watched M grow into his calling. This is the tenth year that we have been together and I'm not kidding when I say that we have spent the last ten years chasing his dream of being a doctor. From the trying days of medical school in London to the toughest training at work in Singapore, I am immensely proud to witness the huge differences he has made in people's lives, not just medically but emotionally as well. I may be biased but to me, that's the true mark of a great physician. It's absolutely wonderful to see him progress in the right direction. If anything, I feel like I'm realising my own dream too. Hopefully, 2015 will bring him good tidings, and that he will continue to mature personally and professionally.
As for me, well, 2014 was a mixed bag of everything. I baked a little more in the first half of the year, and ran a very tiny venture (which is now closed owing to other commitments I have got going on). In the second half of the year, I started writing professionally and it's nice to receive remuneration and recognition for my written works. These made me feel like I'm more than just a mother. I started driving at the end of March after overcoming one of the biggest fears in my life (yes, I was such a scaredy-cat, to only start driving 8 years after getting my license!), and am now a lot more confident behind the wheel. I attribute this newfound bravery to #thelengthsthatmummiesgotofortheirchildren. I have also grown to be a lot more vocal and do not hesitate when I need to stand up for myself, and I like that bullies are beginning to realise that I am no longer the pushover I once was. I have also learnt to let go of friendships that are no longer working out (sadly, they started to deteriorate after I became a stay-at-home-mother) and keeping those who really matter, understand and love me for who I am, close to my heart (thank you, to those who have stuck around. I don't say very much but you mean a lot to me). Braver, and a lot less tolerant for pretence and bullshit, well..I guess Faith wasn't the only one who grew up loads. Whilst it was generally a happier and much more fulfilling year than before, there were heartbreaks here and there too…but I'm glad that I'm still on track to a better sense of well-being. Fingers crossed for this year then, for me to make the best out of whatever life hands me. I pray that 2015 will be the year in which I grow stronger, live passionately, love freely and trust whole-heartedly.
This year…this will be a year of change for us. M is settling down into a new work routine, and I, into a more challenging role as a mother and hopefully, a better (and more professional?) writer/baker/whatchamacallit. Both of us hope to be better, not just at what we do, but as people, parents and a couple. Faith has started N1 in a new school recently, and is adjusting well, and we hope to help her blossom into a considerate, loving young lady. We are definitely looking forward to the many kick-ass interactions we will have with our funny little girl. We will also (finally!) be moving into a space of our own and are all set for a new lease of life in our new home. We aren't certain how things will pan out but we know that we will get into and out of 2015 as a family, with a whole lot of excitement and a healthy dash of fear, and that's really all that matters to us right now.
We hope to make this year OUR year and wish the same for you too. Say "Aye!" to a better life and a better you!
Married Life Blooper #4: When One Gets All Smart-Ass on the Other
*This conversation is best illustrated as we spoke it, in English, Mandarin and Singlish. I thought of doing a translation for international readers, but it's not half as funny in Queen's English! Sorry, guys!
We were taking an evening stroll through the 'hood, when we came across a house where the owner had grown a thick canopy of climbers over a quaint sitting area in the garden.
M (referring to the canopy): Look at that!
Me: Why would anyone do that?! What if the 鸟生鸡蛋,or worse 送他一粒炸弹 while he is sitting underneath the canopy?
M: Please lah, 鸟 doesn't 生鸡蛋.
Me (shooting M the eh-you-fail-your-science-ah look): 鸟 of course 生鸡蛋, it does not give birth to live young, OKKKAAAAYY?
M: 鸟生鸟蛋, lah, PLEASEEEEEEE! (proceeds to shoot me the you-then-fail-your-science look)
Me: … (turns lobster red and smacks M repeatedly on his arm, as I do when I realise I am completely and horribly wrong!)
You Are Always On My Mind
It's 10.24pm on a Friday night.
Most people I know are spending time with their family and friends after a dreadful week of peak-hour commutes, school runs, deadlines and run-ins with their bosses, colleagues, clients or (gasp) children.
I, on the other hand, am alone; yet again lounging in bed and having some me-time online. And I know that after I finish penning my thoughts, I will curl up with a good book before turning in for the night. Such is the story of my life in recent months.
You see, M has signed up to work in one of the most intensive departments. He yearned to pick up whatever he can learn from this rotation, but in return, his hours are long, gruelling and intensive. He practically works the graveyard shifts now, and rarely gets to sleep partly due to a largely confused circadian rhythm, and partly because he tries to see Faith and me as much as possible during our waking hours. Our family of three has been thrown into the deep end once again with his work schedules. Well, it kinda feels like the times when F was still an infant…you know, the times when days and nights are not what they should be.
It's very tiring, this solo-parenting-not-seeing-M-as-often-as-I-wish-thing. As is juggling between work, rest and family time for M. Even F is feeling the heat from the recent arrangements. She didn't used to cry when Papa left her in the past, but ever since M started work in this department, she has taken to wailing whenever Papa ups and goes to work at different times of the day. It's hard for us to stomach the separation, and harder for her to grasp the abruptness and irregularity of it all. I would be lying if I said this isn't taking a toll on us. These days, I'm usually flat out by the end of the day and I can't sleep because I worry about M. M would be shattered with exhaustion and torn with guilt on neglecting us and his buddies because of unyielding demands from work (I mean, you can't just leave your patients and insist you want to knock off at the end of a stipulated shift). M doesn't say it, but I know from the glances he throws at us, that he misses us terribly too.
But we are, strangely, stronger in parts and as one. And I am very thankful for that bond and love we have for one another. For the most transient father-daughter exchanges that I get to witness in that few seconds and beam at for the rest of my life. For the times when F goes, "Papa?" and she quietly nods when I remind her gently that 'Papa is at work.' For the times when I stir as M reaches home in the wee hours of the morning, squeezes my hand and whispers, 'Don't worry, I am here.' just before he falls into a deep slumber. For the bunch of the most beautiful blood-red roses that M (wouldn't have usually bought because he doesn't believe in buying flowers) surprised me with after a 10pm-8am shift, and the way he asked me to not forget that I am always on his mind even though I am mostly alone these days. For the times when I throw my arms around M and watch his favourite Hobbits series, just because I know he would like some company whilst trying to get himself accustomed to sleeping on demand, when all I really want to do is to catch some sleep.
Suddenly, every word spoken, every second spent together, every gesture is much more precious and memorable than before.
While our lives are currently fraught with unpredictability, exhaustion and our future, with uncertainty, I cannot remember a time when we were happier, more contented, and more comfortable with walking on a tight-rope. It's almost as if we have truly grown as family, even with F at the tender age of (almost) two and we are somehow (surprisingly) letting the obstacles roll off our backs like they don't matter. Children are creatures of habit but F seems to know how important it is to flit and float with us now that our circumstances have changed, and she has adapted well, save for the separation anxiety when Papa leaves for work. I cannot be more thankful for what we have going on here to cope with our new lives.
So, on this Friday night, as people around us snuggle up to their loved ones and recharge for the coming week, we fight together in spirit and take comfort that we shall see one another tomorrow morning, even if it's for a few minutes.
Because…Faith, Papa thinks of you all the time, and M, you too, are always on my mind. And that is enough to keep us all going.
There Is Always Time to Dance
Before M and I became parents, we were young (tsk tsk), carefree (tsk tsk) and did most things in the spur of the moment. Feel like getting fat on gelato and bistecca alla fiorentina? Off to Florence this weekend! Feel like taking in the rich history and sheer beauty that make Austria? Off to Vienna the next weekend! Never mind the odd hours of flying with budget airlines, the mere hour of sleep that we would get right after landing and before we hop (yes, we could still hop) to work. We were tired but we could harness that bit of energy left in the name of impulse and adventure, two words that make up so many of our memories together.
These days, we would grab any chance to sit still, glaze over and try to remember our first and last names for about thirty seconds before someone springs a timely reminder and goes 'MAMA!' or 'PAPA!' on us. We no longer 'hop on the next flight' just because we felt like it. We run our lives on a loose-tight-ish schedule, depending on whether it's a school/workday, and mostly plan where we are going down to the o'clocks to accommodate nap times and mealtimes (for our toddler's sake, not ours).
But I'm not complaining. There is comfort in this routine, contentment in the privilege of being parents to our little girl, and unbridled joy in any surprise.
Such as this. M is excellent at making memories out of the tiniest gestures, especially when I am much too caught up in the daily grind to appreciate the small things in life. Two nights ago, I was battling my old and cranky MacBook Pro, and hoping against hope that I hadn't lost all the photos taken back in London as I tried to restore its contents. I was on the verge of crying, absolutely gutted that I might have erased those precious memories of London, when M picked me up from the floor, put on a song, 月亮代表我的心, on the phone and held me close as we danced in our pyjamas in the still of the night. And that was all it took to make a memory, one that wouldn't be captured on photos, one that couldn't be captured on photos.
In that three minutes and twenty-eight seconds, I am reminded that we could and should find the time to dance in the busy-ness that is parenthood and our lives, trying to complete this and achieve that. Because, in that 3:28, I found forever, something that I wouldn't be able to get if I had spent the time getting all flustered.
So…yes, impulse and adventure may not make our memories now. Gelato and bistecca alla fiorentina may not rank tops in our priorities, not as much as sleep and rest anyway, but we dance, and I will take 3:28 over that any day.
Us. Post-wedding, pre-baby in the winter of 2011. After a hike through Forest of Dean up to Symonds Yat Rock, taking in the beauty of Wye Valley.
A Letter From Me to You, You and You
Dear {You},
{Papa and Mama}, I know I was a mess in the early months of motherhood. Sometimes, I still am. I cannot even begin to tell you both how thankful I am for you, for someone like me to have you as my dear parents. If not for you, I wouldn't know what love is. If not for you, I wouldn't have survived being an absolutely clueless mother to Faith. If not for you, I wouldn't know what sacrifice means. Both of you are unconditional love personified. I can only wish that I am capable of giving Faith half the love and care that both of you have given me. Thank you for showing me what it takes to be a parent, and more. Faith is infinitely blessed to have Ah Gong and Ah Ma in her life.
{M}, I want to thank you for being such a strong pillar in my life. It's tough to be the sole breadwinner and yet, you have been completely supportive on my wish to be a stay-at-home-mum. You have not once frowned upon my decision of giving up years of postgraduate education and good salary for this (even when I felt torn apart), and you have never griped about making ends meet on your own. You work so hard to provide the best for Faith and me, to the extent of neglecting your own well-being and giving up little luxuries for yourself, that it pains me to watch you live the consequences of my decision. I'm so, so sorry that I have not said this to you sooner, but you are my hero.
Sometimes, I can't believe how blessed I am to have fallen in love with you, to be loved by you. I'm far from perfect, as a wife, as a mother, as a human being. But you, you, step in selflessly to make up for what I cannot do, and you have never ever judged me to be a lesser person just because I failed to rise to the occasion. How is it that I deserve such a wonderful man like you? I'll never know, but I promise you that I'll try to be better, because you make me want to be better.
Thank you for helping me to be the best mother I can to our child.
{Faith}, you are the greatest little person to Mama. I haven't learnt as much from school as I did from you. You taught me to be patient, to be loving, to see the best in the most trying circumstances, to marvel at the tiniest miracles that I took for granted before you came along.
What really astounds me is how strong you are. You have been ill for three weeks. Yesterday, I watched you throw up helplessly and you cried as though you were in pain. I reckon you were frightened, but you stopped crying and started dancing the minute I cleaned you up; it was as if nothing had happened. In that instance, I thought about how I would curl up in bed, overwhelmed with self-pity and lethargy, had I been struck with bouts of high fever, hacking coughs and the vomitting bug. I felt ashamed and inspired at the same time, because you are but 20 months old, yet, you are so much more resilient than Mama. You make me want to be much more than I am, so that I can love you the best way I know how.
Thank you for giving me the privilege of being your mother, to learn from you, to look at the world through your eyes, to share with you, and to watch you grow.
(My brother, sister and friends}, I wouldn't be a mother, if not for you. Thank you for helping me with Faith when I try to gobble down my lunch. Thank you for wiping away my tears when I feel defeated with the challenges of motherhood. Thank you for taking me out for dinner, even though I turned you down a million times before that because I couldn't get away from parenting duties or was just too darn tired to head out. Thank you for not being mad at me when I run off to chase my toddler midway through a conversation. Thank you for telling me that it's okay to not be okay. Thank you for sticking around and keeping my head above the water. Thank you for sharing my joy as a parent, even though I may babble on too much about Faith and annoy the hell out of you. You know who you are.
They say it takes a village to raise a child. I can see why they say that now, so…Happy Mother's Day to one and all, because I don't think this day is possible without you, you and you.
Your daughter, wife, sister and friend
Married Life Blooper #3: The Tale of Four Butt Cheeks
M and I were about to turn in for the night, after a particularly drawn-out and tiring day. As he hoisted the duvet up to his neck, and snuggled under the covers, he mumbled, 'Do you know that I love you very much?'
And I, being all manja, asked him the question that most men feared.
Me: Will you still love me when I grow fat?
M (half-asleep): I love you, no matter what.
Me: Even with the face of a char siew bao?
M (still half-asleep): Yes, of course.
Me: Even when I have four butt cheeks?
M (jolted awake): FOUR butt cheeks?!
Me: Yes, four.
M: Why would there be four? Where would the extra two cheeks be?
Me (*rolls eyes* not that M could see them in the dark): Underneath the first two, LAH!
Me: …

Perdomo Habano Robusto
Perdomo Habano Robusto cigars are worth every penny. Nick Perdomo Jr. created this special, full-bodied blend using Cuban-seed tobaccos grown in the Esteli, Condega, and Jalapa regions of Nicaragua. 'The beautiful Cuban-seed Corojo and triple-fermented Nicaraguan Maduro wrappers complement this unique filler blend by adding rich, bold flavors with a smooth, satisfying finish', says Nick. And tasting is believing. Whichever size and wrapper you prefer, one thing is certain: these cigars will enthrall you.
Pretty good cigar for the money. Great construction. Flavor was strong, and good, but not quite as rich and complex. I might start rotating a pack of these in my humidor.
Go toy your local store, get one, and smoke it. Don t read any more reviews, and don t listen to +$10 snobs. Afterward, you will come back here and thank me, My best description wood be a combo of barnyard, leather, and maraschino cherry.
Medium bodied, great construction, draw, and burn. Decent amount of smoke and very smooth. Hint of sweetness as the smoke progresses, and overall very pleasant. Would smoke again!
I bought this as part of a 6 pack Perdomo sampler. I really enjoyed the full bodied taste, and the really rich creamy smoke. Draw and burn good. Went well with a good strong IPA!

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Slaying on Kansas farm leaves three dead, baby missing
OTTAWA, Kan. — Search teams spent much of Thursday looking without success for the body of an 18-month-old Olathe, Kan., girl believed to have been killed last week at a rural Ottawa farm where the bodies of three adults were found this week.
Charges are expected by Friday against a Kansas man arrested for first-degree murder in what likely will become a quadruple slaying at the farm.
Authorities have received information that leads them to believe the girl, Lana-Leigh Bailey, is dead, Franklin County Sheriff Jeffrey Richards announced Thursday morning.
The girl's mother, Kaylie Bailey, 21, was identified Wednesday as among the three adults found dead this week on the property. The other victims were Andrew Stout, 30, who lived at the farm, and Steven E. White, 31, one of his roommates.
Prosecutors are expected to charge Kyle Flack, 27, of Ottawa with multiple counts of first-degree murder in the case, Richards said.
Flack apparently had lived at the farm, but Stout recently kicked him out.
The search continued Thursday afternoon, said Richards.
"It is a large area and we have to be very meticulous in what we are doing."
About 150 investigators were on the ground, searching on foot, on horseback and on all-terrain vehicles.
Family members had prayed for days that Lana-Leigh would be found safe. One grandmother said she was distraught after learning Thursday that Lana-Leigh is presumed dead.
"I was hoping she was alive," said Rachel Helms-Bailey, the mother of Lana-Leigh's father, Shawn Bailey. "I want to know how she died; they will not tell me."
Flack was convicted of attempted second-degree murder in 2005 in Franklin County. In that case, a 19-year-old Flack pumped five bullets into a man who had fired him from a job. The victim survived. Flack was paroled from prison in 2009, according to Kansas Department of Corrections records.
The FBI and a mounted search and rescue team from Johnson County were helping look for Lana, Richards said. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children joined the investigation Thursday, Richards said.
"Our work has not stopped with this arrest, but has intensified," Richards said. "We are still looking for 18-month-old Lana Bailey and will continue to do so until she is found... We will exhaust every lead and follow up every tip until we bring her home."
No one was was in custody until early Thursday morning, Richards said. Flack is being held in the Franklin County jail.
Richards said many tips continue to come in, and he emphasized the investigators' wishes to make sure that the investigation is "thoroughly done and appropriately done." He added that the variety of forensics tests being conducted do not produce instant results.
"We need to do this in a methodical manner," Richards said. "The investigation continues; it is active, it's ongoing."
Jim Smith, Kaylie Bailey's father, said Thursday that deputies had not explained why they presumed his granddaughter was dead.
"I can only speculate," Smith said, adding that he didn't know Flack and doesn't know if Kaylie did.
When asked what he will miss most about Kaylie, tears rolled down his face.
"Everything," he said in a soft voice.
"She was a very wonderful and kind person," he added, in a whisper. "She is a very dear child. And I miss her greatly."
Prior to going into security work, Kaylie explored the field of nursing, Smith said.
"I was proud of anything she did," Smith said. "She was a good kid — smart. She could've done anything she wanted to do."
Jackson Anderson of Wichita, who owns the farm and is the brother of Andrew Stout, said his family wanted privacy but justice as well.
"I just have been mourning the loss of my brother," said Anderson.
"This is not anything for me to talk about right now; I need to hold my family together. I am the oldest sibling. My family — all we have been asking for is one, privacy and, two, can someone find Lana?
"We have turned off the television right now; my brother is gone. Can justice be brought? We are asking that, please. We want justice."

Uber is been a great options for transportation at very affordable price. As it's advertised: drivers being their own bosses, friendly attitude, clean, comfortable and convenient service. However, there is another side of the story that could make this company collapse by its own system.
Uber recruits drivers using propaganda. For instance, there are ads on craigslist where the mention "Make $ 1500.00 a week driving for uber". It sounds too good to be truth. To make$ 100 or $120 in a good day, driver must perform at least 8 hours of work, with no breaks. Plus, the cost of fuel which is $15-$20 per day, the mileage of your car would generate frequent oil changes and maintenance cost finally the 20% uber deducts from your rides, let's make math $120-24-15=$81.00. Then divide the total in 8 hours. It deduces that a driver could make $10.00 an hour net. Who wins here?
Despite uber affirms making background checks, some events led this into doubt. A case where the driver picked up a couple at the Los Angeles airport, dropped them off, but took off with the passenger's I pad and a bag with more than $500 in cash. Despite being contacted driver refused to give back the items and UBER replied stating that it's a partnership between them and drivers and they are not responsible for stolen items.
Uber does not offer any job security to drivers. Accounts are getting deactivated at no reason, leaving the driver with no income. Company does not follow firing procedures such as warnings or get on hold of drivers to hear their side of the story. Moreover, rating system is very relative and – more... is just left to the passenger side. Even, if riders are not right. With ratings less than 4.7, accounts are deactivated or technically driver is fired. Plus, some drivers finance vehicles just to drive for UBER.
Management acts with arrogance. My account was deactivated for no reason or not knowing why. They don't chat with you on the phone just use e-mail to inform that account is deactivated. My deactivation was because a bad person that had intentions to harm me contacted UBER with negative comments about me. This person was not even a passenger. I did not even get a chance to provide my side of the story. Plus, when that issue happened I was not even doing UBER. I was driving my own car. This deduces that uber does not care about passenger's wellbeing. They just care about the money and see partners like robots, or like nothing. I had a 4.8 rating average.
Your car will be deteriorated, consider this, think about the mileage added t your vehicle, the maintenance expenses plus the uber commission. Better to work in a Mac Donald's.
Finally, ride sharing companies should use more ethical practices and listen to their drivers. Government should enforce this type of applications that harms people's wellbeing. It's similar to give you work one week and then nothing. After all, without the partners and their vehicles UBER would not make income. Drivers are people, some who have families, dreams and bills to pay. Not robots that are used and them thrown away. – less
