grandma cool

My grandmother is one cool lady. She turns 80 this year and still makes incredible handiwork like this dog made entirely of hong bao (red packets) and beaded toys.



Here's a close up. Note that there are real dogs that are actually this small.



She wanted me to take pictures "for the newspaper' but I guess this is the next best thing. Another interesting story about my grandma: She's been on telly before, telling her story of the Japanese occupation - how she was dressed up as a boy when the soldiers came knocking. She almost fooled them when one noticed she had pierced ears... luckily the soldiers didn't harm her but her parents quickly married her off so that she wouldn't be a target.

And in other related Chinese New Year dog news - I saw a dog sandwich on a motorbike today. Man, terrier in between, woman. Pity I was driving, otherwise I would have taken photos. PS, the dog didn't have a helmet.

Not only that, she doesn't look anywhere near 80 too!

ya, I also say, I myself can't believe she's that senior. I think I will have to print out the pages, so that I can show her!
