- Blogging on my life events & whatever that comes to my mind!
This week’s PhotoHunttheme is Unique or funny signs. Thought I better get some thing up since I missed last week’s “Thirteen” theme. I didn’t hunt down a picture for that theme due to time constraints. However, this week, I am able to dig the below picture. This picture was taken at the entrance of Yellowstone National Park at the South entrance.
This week the PhotoHunt theme is Twist or Twisted. I looked all over the house to get a decent picture of something twisted or at least in a form of twist. DB said there is one standing in front of me which he meant himself. Yeah, he has one great Twisted mind, alright, but I also want a picture that shows some thing that is truly in a twisted form. Looked high and low, finally DB said, “Here is something for your twisted theme.” (He is a sport when it comes to blogging material).
The cables, cords that belonged to his three PCs, printers and phone in his office. He wanted to tie them up neatly like what he did for my office, but he moved his office around so many times, he didn’t bother with keeping them neat anymore. I have to say, only he knows which cord/cable belongs to which equipment.
This week’s PhotoHunt theme is on Glass. I looked around the house, nothing much that’s actually glass except for this sun cather I bought when I was in Portland. It is a house located next to a lighthouse.
The theme for this week’s PhotoHunt is “High”. I did thought of being “high” like stoned on drugs! But of course I have no pictures of that kind of “high”. What I found on my albums are pictures from my trip to Cameron Highlands, Perak, Malaysia last year December. My friend, Stef and her hubby, Pat together with her mom and I were there on a day trip. The picture below is where the Boh Tea Plantation is located. The look-out thingy that protrudes out up high on the cliff was specially built for visitors to view the beautiful rows and rows of tea plants. I took the picture while we were walking up.
The above picture is the view from the look-out looking down to the tea plantation workers’ living quarters which is on midle left of the picture that are sorta dark green in color. The narrow path to the top is on the mid left of the picture.
Metal is this week’s PhotoHunt theme. I found a picture of a scale in my parents’ home, a scale that is made of metal from top to bottom. It is not the best picture for this hunt, but it still works, right? It has kati and pounds, and I forgot to ask my mom where she got it from. I’m sure my sis will tell me.
I Spy is the theme for today’s PhotoHunt theme. I Spy Rabbit Turds. Can you see them? The boys love them…eat them like treats! Gross!!!!! As long as they don’t come lick me after eating them, but no, I get kisses from them no matter when or what.
This week’s PhotoHunt theme is Different. When I think of Different, I think of our boys, the two yellow labrador retrievers.
They are both yellow labs but Ranger, the first picture, is a show breed, the English breed. Cooper, the second picture, is the field breed, the American breed. What’s the difference between them? The show breed is shorter, very storky, shorter snout, the head is wider, has a thicker coat and tail and they are mellower/calmer. The field breed is taller, longer in length and snout, the ears are a little smaller and shorter, coat is lighter and so is the tail, and the head is not as wide. Field breed labs are much more energetic, very hyper and loves to work for you.
The theme for today’s PhotoHunt is Wooden.
My picture of Wooden was taken when I was in Malaysia last year. This is an old wooden house I saw in Ipoh. I can’t remember what’s the name of the road. I saw this old wooden house next to her brick counterparts which I’m sure is an eyesore to its neighbors. She looks old and shakey with the aluminum sheets for roofing. When I see this house, it makes me treasure my hometown even more than I had. It’s weird that now I’m living overseas, every thing I saw when I was back in my hometown were a gem to me. Yeah, I have to admit I miss my home, family and friends very much.
This week’s theme is Free. I can’t really find some thing that is describe as “free” in my picture collection. I can only think of one thing, that is my dog, Ranger. We adopted him from the kennel he was bred. We didn’t pay a dime for him. We called up the owner of the kennel, Mandy, and asked her if she knows anyone who has a dog for adoption. She said she actually has one in her own kennel that needs a family to go to. A dog that she rescued from the owner she sold Ranger to.
Ranger was three years old when we picked him up on May 2003, a real chow hound. His life revolves only in food because that was how he was brought up: a bucket of food and water in the backyard with no human contact. He was a case of negligence from a pup to his adulthood. He is now eight years old and still a chow hound but we are not worried about that. Even though we didn’t send him for any obedience classes, he is quite well behaved and as long as there’s food around, he will sit, down, shake hands and come to you in a heart beat. We have no regrets adopting this funny dog – he has the noisiest and stinkiest farts ever, and he will play “dead” when he’s in a playful mood.
This week’s theme is Heavy. I wanted to put a picture of DB up – a picture that he kept telling me he looks “heavy”, but then I thought I better not, he will definitely be giving me that WTH look for letting the whole wide world to see that picture! So, I browsed through my collection of pictures and found the pictures of our fallen tree – the 70 mph heavy winds that brought the young Mr. Oak down. This happened last year August in the middle of the night while the entire neighborhood were asleep. I told DB we could move the tree out of the street and he said, “Do you know how heavy a fallen tree is???” No, I don’t coz I am a city girl, and I did try to move the tree by grabbing on to a bunch of branches, it didn’t move an inch. Well, that’s by picture of “Heavy”.
Narrow is the theme for this weeks Photohunt. I wanted to take some pictures of the trail I go to every weekend in the winter, but it’s way too icy now to step on it. The snow melted some last weekend and refreezes overnight and stayed that way the rest of the week.
I picked the below pictures from my trip to Cameron Highlands, Perak, in Malaysia when I was back for a vacation last November.
The narrow road to the Boh Tea plantations. The lorry or in the States we call it a truck or 18-wheeler, passing next to our car. We the cars have to give way to the other cars which is sort of a first come first serve basis.
This is actually how narrow the road is. That is the tractor hauling the loads of tea leaves to the production plant.
This week’s theme is Old-fashioned. It was not too easy for me to look for some thing that is oldfashion in manner. Nothing in our house look oldfashioned enough and I didn’t want to go out in the snow scouting around either. I looked through my Photobucket and found a few pictures that I consider “oldfashion”. These pictures were taken in my parents’ home during my last visit.
Picture of my grandfather hanging in the dining room. He was dressed in the typical Chinese men’s attire back in the early 1900s, I think. I don’t think men in China now dress like this anymore.
This is my mom’s sewing machine. I don’t see this oldfashion sewing machine around much as it is being replaced by the modern electric ones.
This week’s theme is Important. There are so many things that are important to me, but my family and hubby are the ones who are the utmost important to me.
And the boys: Cooper and Ranger.
This week’s them is Skinny. I don’t really have a lot pictures with skinny objects or bodies. Well, I do, but I’m not going to put the pictures of skinny bodies up, since I don’t have the permission to put them up. So, here are the pictures for this week’s hunt: my skinny feet, and hubby’s and my skinny right foot. Yeah, the big comparison in color – white and yellow!
This week’s theme is Delicious. Oh, I’m sure there are a lot of food out there that are really delicous to the taste buds. However, here are mine especially since returning from vacation, all I think about are these dishes/food.
Top to bottom, left to right:
- Curry noodles; kaya (coconut with brown sugar paste) toast & Ipoh white coffee
- My sister’s fruit cake; kaya puffs
- Clams; taufu far (a dessert made of soy beans – can’t find the English term for this dessert).
