Ok chop chop! Today's a special day!!! Mother's Day! >_<
(*the bg of actual card is not like this)
My most recent piece! Wow ~ For my mum! =D She has short hair and quite likes berry too (explains the cat logo) haha. And i think i mentioned before, her name's Catherine. So people calls her Cat! Or auntie cat haha.
I drew it in my sketchbook and colored with color pencils. My plan was to cut it out and do a simple pop up. BUT TO MY HORROR, the other side had a drawing already!! First time had the 手心是肉,手背也是肉 situation! So i scanned it and print out on a better looking paper, looks good too =D (thanks so much to mr scanner) Inside i wrote all the good things about her. Haha cos she always say we never praise her, so i listed all out! And seriously she's a wonderful mum T_T !
She cooks well. Alot tougher dishes like wheat prawn, coffee ribs she can do it. Handling a chopper is not easy and seeing her chopping ginger into strips is quite amazing. Frying a fish is dangerous too! With all the oil pitter patting out of the wok (she gets burns at times) but food is always great. She can sew dresses (my barbie doll outfits were mostly done by her, really great), shoes, cross-stitch bookmarks, zips (any altering of pants etc), and toy plushies. She can draw she can paint (hands-on), she sew quilts!! (many small useless pieces she combine into one big beautiful one)
She knows gift wrappings, ribbon making (make flower patterns etc), can bake cakes make desserts and agar agar. She can play majong, badminton, basketball. Can even fix the toilet bowl and pipes and light bulbs. I think ANYTHING requires HANDS, SHE CAN DO IT. Maybe the things she can do may seem chicken-feet but every skill is actually worth looking up to! And honestly in the past i didn't think much into it. I just enjoy the good food when it's done, or anything i need help i'll call her. Because she's always there.
The other time she was telling me.. she'll one day be 'not there' anymore. This frightens me. I really don't dare imagine my family away forever T_T
Back to saying my mum's the best!! I wrote that besides her bad temper at times, and always want to watch the last episode of a drama series first before watch ep01 (she says that like that then wont't 紧张 while watching. LOL spoiler. We'll always hide the last disc), she actually has a cute personality. Cos she says jokes and care for the earth (we have our own Plastic, Cans, Paper bins to separate the trash). I wrote in the last part of the card that she's doing a fabulous job for the MUM position! And told her to keep it up! LOL~
She said the card was cute and after reading inside she say '我有这样厉害meh?' Haha i gave her a hug and said '有!!' =D And she's really a pretty mum! Past, present and definately future too. Photos of her when she's younger, wearing sailor uniform etc. FULL MARKS!!!!! (i'll describe my dad another day haha)
Anyway its abit unbelievable how i turned out. Clumsy and not smart at all. And hurting at times when people say 'then why you cant do it?'. The child doesn't have to be a doctor when the dad's a doctor right? He could be a great musician or something. But ok no excuse for myself because i don't have a ultimate powerful skill for a thing. (go away emo thoughts)
I'm learning sewing already! And really enjoys it. I really hope to be optimistic about everything and don't let reality sink me down too much even if its important.
Speaking of sink, i came across a site that shows the ACTUAL SIZE of a WHALE?!! It's quite creepy to see the eyes. I'm quite afraid of dark waters.. But its cool to see. CLICK
And i like color pencils! But why loses the feel after scanning etc??
Lastly, taiwan previews from sis's blog! DAY 01 I hope to show more soon!
P/S: HAPPY MUM'S DAY !! >_<
