Stretch my sketch. IF - Dec 2012

Quick draw in Ai program, but spent quite a bit of time to paint digitally in PSD.

Every time I draw on paper or digital, I stretch my creativity but age may be a big factor now, because the creative juice is getting lower years by years.

My IF entry - Stretch .

I am who I am

Of course, I am a little fatter, my hair are thinner, my my r r rr,  maybe a little older from this illustration!  :(

My 2013 Calendar in Phase 2 stage

Working on my 2013 Calendar.
I want to do something different for this year Calendar, buying the stands cost lots of money when I order only small quantity. However, I found a photo stand in Dollarama, I am thinking to drill 2 holes on top, insert rings and prints. To make a flip Calendar with stand, but drilling a hole to the Acrylic stand is a challenged. I am still stretching my design idea by using this Acrylic stands.

For now, I just insert one page and using a clip to hold the rest of the pages behind it, this is my Phase 2 stage, I hope to create something nice and finalize the product very soon.
I know is it a little late to work on the Calendar, but it should make it for Christmas Present.

难得有一天假，可以陪仔仔在家休息， 很珍惜、很滿足呀！

今天又下雪了，我俩在家中嘆又暖粒粒，但老公就外勞力，我盼一切顺利，多謝佢的辛苦努力工作讓我们過些好生活同给我们這溫暖的家！

Dad passing 100 days..今天爸爸走了一百天

今晚我在睡前默默的想起老爸，老爸已離開我们一百天了、心還很伤心。

我最记的是他的親切笑容，寬恕體諒、大量，開心的老爸。

我知道我的幾位姐姐和我非常想念老爸，因為怹是好爸爸。

Today,  it's father passed away 100 days, we believed after 100 days of passing, all the energy or some call spirit will completed gone in the air..  and we know he is in the Western Paradise with mom..
There are still nights I think about dad and cried, I missed him, and I wish there are still chances for me to show my love and care to him,,

I don t think I have done enough, I know! All my sisters and friends will disagree..

It s hard to say good bye to your love one, its never easy, no matter how much you think you are prepared for it..

Again, I must not let this emotional mood cause my dad soul to be in peace.

"Dad, I am all right, only some night, I just have a moody night moment, but tears is part of my healing therapy, other than flipping through your picture that mostly taken by me.. ..
Good nite.."

Cheers & with love,
Your youngest daughter.

爸已走出人間去到極樂世界了！

爸己走了接进二个月，時间過的真快。。

每一个星期五和周未沒了探爸爸日子，好懷念怹！也有点矛盾...

己过了七七=四九，爸已走出人間去到極樂世界了！

永远懷念怹。。。。。。

My father had passed away close to 2 months now, time sure flied,,
in Buddhism, after 49 days of passing, the soul and energy will be reincarnated, we believed our beloved good hearted father is gone to Buddha world, he is gone with the wind to the Western Paradise..
We missed him and in Peace knowing he is in good place..

Canola field - Calgary

I took a day off today, to spend some time with my sister before she leaves. I drove to Canola field to snap some pictures with her. I also hired 2 boys, my son and his buddy to pose for my camera..
Here's some pictures that will bring us many returns in future..

永远懷念爸爸。我爸爸life係 Well Lived.

明天是老斗過身第二個星期，我们也开始resume regular routine..不過心中很想念老斗。
有時想起老斗臨去那一刻，我们握住怹的手說再見，心仍然好心痛，好唔捨得。
我明白生老病死乃是必经之路，但当真正發生自已身上時，是十分难去面对或去接受。
多谢家姐、老公、仔仔互相关懷，慢慢放下放心，因為老斗life係 Well Lived，而佢老人家十分好又善心，一定带走好多公德到另一个極樂世界了，我應该替老斗开心！
老斗，我们永远懷念您！

In memory of my father, may you be with mother in western paradise..
We missed you! 

Are we ever prepare enough?

Finally today I can have a quiet time for myself to rest and relief, my eyes is quite weak due to too many days of crying and stress. father is finally in peace, I am trying to rest so I can resume my usual activity.

The passed week was overwhelm for me and family, so thankful to Brother Max and Sister Ping coming from out of country and state to join us here to help, to mourn to walk together to say goodbye to father.
And I know Brother Leong who is still in Malaysian anxious to take part, he is mourning yet he is preparing for father last wishes, awaiting father urns to returns home, so that father can be re-united with mother in KL.

Do you know how much you know or how much you prepare for your final destiny?

There's never enough preparation, especially emotionally.
Everyone telling us how our father lived well, lived long, and he is in good place now.
We thought we are prepared as well, knowing he will be gone one day due to old age...
But it's never easy to say goodbye.

During this difficult time, you will need support, helping hand and some ceremony help to mourn. We had a simple Memorial service to to say goodbye, or to have it  to celebrate his life well lived.

I have all that, Thanks to my dear friend Jessie who help so much during the funeral service, thanks for her and her husband big heart for not being superstitious and go extra mile to help us running a smooth memorial services process. Thanks to Mimi who looking after my boy so we can have flexible hours to take care my father funeral services.

Thanks to My dear husband with me all this time, especially during the moment we held on to father hand to say goodbye.. it was hard, it was sad,, and my husband were there to support, to care..

A big thanks to my sister's E who looking after father everyday so that family member who have their own family can have excuses for not being there for father daily...

Of course there are many many of relative and friend offer their comfort to us in many different way...
There isn't enough Thank you for me and family to express...

I missed my father dearly, and hope he soon be reunited with mother....
