Here is my watercolor dragon. Was uber proud of myself, sent my almost completed artwork to show LX and he said “Never seen a dragon before izzit, why the cow’s horns? This is how Chinese Dragon horns look like: ”
Hahaha. Damn. Having such a friend is such a pain. I suspect he was still sore with me saying “于十三 is like a brother I never had”. Because after texting me “I thought I was the brother you never had”, he refused to talk to me again for two weeks.
Luckily, my watercolour is adaptable, and within a day, my juvenile dragon has matured into a force to be reckoned with... and I added splashes of gold paint.
Self-appointed little brother also bought a cute dragon for Mr Morg to show off his Dragon dance. So pretty.
GST hits record high so let’s repaint the house and redo the living room since Kenneth is sick and tired of our resident lizard. He wants to be able to see everything under the new sofa. No hiding places. Yeah, new year, new look.
This is also child labor camp time for CNY decorations since everything outside is commercial and plastic. Where is the new year vibe? It is the children's job to make our new living room festive.
2023 had been a fabulous year for the Horses.
Work was great fun, ending with a high…
Flower Power Company Annual Party
Was not intending to attend as it fell on my Wedding Anniversary, but I was dumped by spouse at the last minute. Hence, Lily’s team generously adopted me and wrapped me up as a bouquet.
As you rightfully conclude, we were a bunch of superficial beings, preferring to take the Flower Power theme literally! Hahaha. England not very good lah… But the team displayed deep conceptual thoughts on colors choices. Designer in white flowers - getting married soon. Pink flowers - in a romantic relationship. Green - she is vegetarian. Lily in red flowers? CNY is coming and she 顺便 wanted to use them for CNY.
Based on depth of thought alone, we should have won best dressed. But bosses wanted a Dance Off between 4 teams to decide the winner. A waste of time and pointless as once we occupied the floor, nobody could see anyone else! We won by sheer volume. And every move we made; we whacked others out of existence. They either laughed themselves to death or suffered injuries that all other teams gave up. We WON.
Bosses scraped the “Worst Project Award” which I took very personally because I could have won these three years in a row. Instead, now we have a new award called “No No Mei-You Award”, given to the most unhelpful team of the year. By now, me and bestie who won “Can Can Most Exploited Award” were laughing too badly on the floor, too weak to get up.
Too much mooning, costumes with no openings so no hands to eat (needed feeding). In short, too stupid, and funny, just the way we liked it.
Family was fun too.

Great end to 2023 and looking forward to a great 2024.
