Just a few weeks ago, I was at home waiting for my parents to arrive. Now, with only a few weeks left, they will be going back to Malaysia. This time my parents get to actually see a whole new season during their visit to the USA. They?ve always been sorta concerned...

I took a day off yesterday, but woke up way before my regular work day. It was another special day. The day that all of us have been waiting for. My parents have finally here to visit again, from Malaysia.. They arrived 16 minutes early. They were already there when...

Last Wednesday, we lost Shadow. On Thursday, Bruce bought a Japanese Maple tree to be planted in Shadow’s memory. Last weekend was a great weekend for gardening. It wasn’t sunny. Not very humid. It was just very comfortable. We put the tree in, and I went...

Today we lost Shadow to feline leukemia. But I know exactly where he is right now–with me forever. “Chah-dow-ping-ping-poot. Dow-p’ut-ting boy boy. Verd-verd. Daddy sayang.” (He always liked it when I talked to him like this.)

Yesterday was a good day. It is nice to hear from your friend that things are great. Especially after knowing that they have gone through some struggles. I have never thought of analyzing my happiness, but yesterday it just hit me that the kind of happiness I’m...
