My dearest Kiwi
Today is your eldest sisterโs birthday! She requested her favourite: a fudgy chocolate cake with dark chocolate icing. And she picked the edible image herself โ some guy from an online game holding a weapon. No idea who he is, but she loves it, so thatโs what matters! Sheโs already placed it on the cake and worked her artistic magic on the decorations. Some things never change. โจ
She headed to the mall for lunch with friends after her morning classes, and your younger sister joined her later as the official cupcake-delivery girl.๐๐จ
Yes, I baked cupcakes for her crew. Had a mini crisis when I couldnโt find cupcake bags, so I improvised โ behold my โfancyโ homemade packaging, each with a different cat sticker. (My sticker obsession is never growing up. ๐ธ)
We feel your absence today, Kiwiโฆ but we feel you with us too, watching over our little family dramas like always.
We love and miss you. ๐
who want my presence but not my depth never find me.
๐ผ โDepth? Sorry, I only come in sarcasm.โ
meow-gical treasure!
[A whimsical cat flower pot that brightens up any space]
Yesterday at about 4pm, I stepped out to scoop some soil for my whale flower pot. I looked up and found this little beauty on my mango tree, staying with me for two magical minutes. Felt like a little hello from my beloved Kiwi, letting me know his spirit is free and he’s doing just fine. ๐ฆ๐
Well, here we are. Thirteen years.
NBC is still my sanctuary. Itโs still the place where I can be independent and quiet. Itโs still the purrfect platform for my art, my sometimes-wicked humor, and the memories of those I love.
To mark the occasion, I thought Iโd share 13 simple joys that makes my heart purr:-
1. Sipping my morning coffee โ Aka cat-puccino.
2. Sunbathing on that warm square of sunlight on the floor just for me.
3. Knocking things off the table and watching my human pick them up.
4. Enjoying the lup dup lup dup of a human heartbeat when they hug me.
5. My daily stretching at my 82cm tall scratch pole.
6. Curling up in warm laundry – freshly dried and perfectly folded
7. Taking over the comfiest cushion
8. Books – not reading them, just sitting on them like the intellectual cat I am.
9. A good laugh watching humans trip over me – I was clearly sleeping there. Not my fault.
10. Birds chirping outside the window – music to my earsโฆ while Iโm sleeping,
11. Bird TV through the window. (Live series)
12. Sudden bursts of inspiration – aka 2 a.m. zoomies.
13. Knowing, without a doubt that this whole household runs on my schedule.
๐ค/แ หต> โฉ <หตใAnd a cat has other talents besides nappingโฆ
Iโm stepping out from behind the keyboard for a moment and sharing a little piece of my heart โ through song.
If youโve ever wondered what NBC sounds like when sheโs not typingโฆ hereโs a small glimpse. ๐ถ
I’ll be posting Bridge Over Troubled Water later today.

Thank you for listening, and as always, thanks for being here.
Love, light, and meows. โค๏ธ๐พ
look who swam out of my
recycling bin! ๐ ๐ณ
Where thereโs a whale, thereโs a way!
When life gives you spare hangersโฆ make toilet roll holders! ๐๐งป
A little creativity goes a long wayโฆeven in the bathroom! ๐
The parent was firmly rooted to the log, a loss I had to accept. ๐
But I managed to rescue the baby before the grass cutter struck.
Now the little one’s thriving โ twine-wrapped, wide-eyed, and nosy! ๐๐
Made this little keepsake with Kiwi in my heart โ a simple tin, dressed in warmth and love. Each strand of twine holds a quiet whisper of the past. Sometimes the smallest creations carry the biggest pieces of our hearts.
And maybe that’s what healing really is โ finding tender ways to keep love alive, one handmade memory at a time.๐๐๏ธ
