heya Dr Love

Dear The Other Sheepgirl,

There are lots of Malibans and Munchies on the regular snack counter next to where you used to sit. Just as the Maliban supply is back, you’re gone. I used to be able to hear you and Holly Moses exploding in laughter from the writer’s room and giggle. Miss our morning pantry chats and your Skype messages about lunch reminders, new indie music, the oily boy saga, and great creative juice-on-the-net finds. Even Holly Moses’ is uninspired to send her hilarious YouTube gems…

We are the miss you lah. Lots.

Hope you had a lovely birthday and having an exciting time over there! Find a cosy place to call home-away-from-home, make new fab friends and discover yummy makan places hehe… ohhh and study diligently! We shall come visit you sometime soon

Till then, fare thee well!

Lotsa love,
Sheepgirl

sticky date

pudding for Christmas

where my heart begins

toffee eyes
sweet with intensity
wine red lips
with hints of bubblegum
and orchid
shower affections
that taste of tangerine
and feel like fireworks

mugs of coffee
two-thirds and full
fan whirring with the traffic below
our hearts speaking
awoken in warmth
softness
depth
a pause
let’s breathe

I am beloved
rhythm of a poem
the Lord is gracious
precious meaning
Your name is where my heart begins

mai tai magic

in his hands

We sat at a quaint little bar at the edge of the sprawling market. A much loved music collection line the shelves behind the counter, framed by a wallpaper of intriguing faces… sips of cultural anthropology in an indolent afternoon. Thought bubbles wreathed with grins and smiles filled the air as reggae and classic rock songs weaved the afternoon light into the deepest vaults of our memories.

fei chang gan dong

Beautifully and lovingly made by Wendy

Sometimes, overwhelmed in a moment like this, I sit quietly by myself and wonder what have I done to deserve so much love… and the only logical thing to do is to share and extend the love received to anyone and everyone. It is simply, impossible, to contain such a magnitude of radiance, joy and warmth in just one small heart…

The celebrations have begun!

mesopotamia

A very determined little bug does kamikaze dives around my room and tries its very best to make a dent in the ceiling lamp cover. It has the cutest furry antennae and a grip so strong that getting it out of one’s hair proved to be a challenging task indeed. Egads…
……….

“What is a free-ranging egg?”
“Telur yang bebas merayau-rayau.“
……….

There’s a rattling and whirring sound coming from the hall every now and again. Nothing suspicious revealed itself upon inspection. Coming back into my room, I’m greeted by a little hamster scurrying across the floor in its transparent blue plastic ball, rattling along and bumping into corners every now and again. I’m comforted by the thought that the little creature would not be able to get itself stuck behind some cupboard or in some awkward corner, only to be discovered at some advanced stage of rigor mortis several days later. Hurray for plastic balls!
……….

“Ong, what kind of man are you looking for?”
“A man with ambition, values family and friends, and loves tenderly and valiantly.”
“Wah…. power.”
……….

Light is the heart that sets sight on the stars but with feet firmly on the ground.
