My son is admited to hospital for pneumonia. I will be away from the net for 2 weeks, in fact was away since the last post.

We haden’t stop our reading even in hospital. Suprisingly, there were loads of new books in hospital library. We had read some really nice book, from scholistic. The books that is hard to get from local bookstore. (These were meant for schools and bookclub.)

Well, I had to pen here. God bless us.

This book is more than shapes. Thought it is written in simple text, it is not meant for kids.

OMG ! This is a wonderful bible for children writer and illustrator enthusiast!

A journey into writing and drawing. I’ve should have seen this in the first place.  Lucky, this book still caught my attention. When I flip through, I was glued by the informative and yet simple tell-me-how.

Thanks to Sheila Dhir for given me the pleasure to read this book before the book launch. My honor indeed.

Now let us take a peek inside this book~

Watching MoonBird show marvelously done by I Theater. I was overwhelm. Firstly, because I had just attended the talk by MoonBird’s creator Joyce Dunbar and was inspired. Secondly, knowing myself, that will never understand fully by just reading through on my own.

This MoonBird picture book is indeed talking about the deaf. Joyce and Jane had crafted this in such a beautiful manner one will forget where they are. We were drifted into the fairy tale of a magical world where deaf is no longer a handicap but a wise being.

In reality, we always assume deaf is a disability. Like the word in Malay ” orang kurang upaya” which means -people that need help. We could just try to understand them instead of blindly helping them. Deaf people can do wonders! Look at our write Joyce Dunbar, she does wonders in her writing. She opens our heart, she make us cry, laugh and wonder. More example, Ganville Redmond, the famous American artist whose work was collected by many, Douglas Tilden, the Famous sculptor who sometimes refered to as the “Michelangelo of the west”… many more.

On May 12, an earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale, hit Wenchuan County of southwest China’s Sichuan Province at 2:28 p.m. The disaster touched the hearts of Chinese nationwide, as well as thousands upon thousands of overseas Chinese hearts.

When encountering such a catastrophe, when witnessing lost lives, and when seeing compatriots losing homes, everybody thinks: what can I do for the victims in quake-hit areas?

I wish I could do more to help these innocent children. Thanks to Sinchew Daily that we are able to donate to help these earth-quake victims. Even better, we can now do our bits to send our warm regards to these miss fortune children. Shall we cheer them up?

Here is the way, guided by Sin Chew Daily.

Write a happy letter the help the surviver children from SiChuan Earthquake, help them regain their confidence to survive and live forward.

Tell them that we care.
Tell them that there is a better live waiting for them.
And most of all, tell them “we love you.”

Guideline:

1. Write a letter in your personal handwriting/ printed letter with you personal signature.
   (Please write in Chinese Simplified )
2. Write it as the first person. The content should be motivative, jokes, or anything that can cheer them up.
3. The selected letters will be bring in by hands of SinChew Daily’s.
4. On the envelope, please write the address as below;
   为四川灾后小朋友写封 “幸福信”
   (The Happiness Letter for Children Surviving from SiChuan Earth Quake)
   19, Jalan Semangat,
   46200 petaling jaya,
   selangor, malaysia
5. Write in you actual emailing address or any contact information.
   (SinChew Daily will encourage children to write back.)

Letters will have to go through screen out, to secure the best interest of these quake-hit children. No matter what, hope these SiChuan earthquake children will recover soon.
