good morning~


flowers blossom in my heart coz of your smiling ^0^

so how's life?


^0^ everyday I think of writing something, then hang out at Facebook, watching Korean drama on the go, or sleeping in the train :p start posting my korea trip photos in Facebook, still editing the rest :p some of my colleague said 'so few.. we want more!' wahh sounds popular demand kekekke :p



from Kuala Lumpur international airport..


to korea incheon airport..


1st stop experiencing kimchi making..


and posting in Korean costume..



1st time I have the feeling of opening a travel blog to capture my travel trip stories! too many to record for future reference. if you want more trip details you can refer to my sis's blog. all the places names, price, behind the scene stories.. to me, I would like to capture my feeling and thoughts of the moments :) as usual, wait la, don't know when I gonna start to set up the new blog ^0^

8:35 now. am sleepy. busy weekend.



in fact doing nothing much, but it is tiring. Saturday day time be the driver for children classes.



..shopping for sunday outing foods and drinks.

Saturday night time kena husband complained 'my hotel room is cleaner than our house' ya! coz your hotel room don't have bbb and a busy working mother ma! then being lectured on who to vote, how to vote, the politic stand in the coming election @_@ 'I don't want to talk to you anymore! you scold me because of politic!' pity me.. ahhh!! then I fall asleep when I covered myself with my doggie to avoid eyes contact with laogong.. forgot about my unfinished Korean drama series >_<



sunday morning wake up early to prepare foods for outing. we prepared chocolate chips wafer and otak otak popiah. got royee boy to help out in making the wafer :) I don't sandwich the wafer with fruit jams or butter kaya, don't want to let family members eating too much of sugar. so the wafer sweetness is from the chocolate chips and chocolate rice. have another milo version :D



we went to the zoo negara with in law family. I can't even recall when was the last time I been there - childhood? when Saturday noon laogong came to me 'want to go to the zoo with my brother?' see laogong was so happy and excited, then I said yes! simple outing that strengthen the relationships of family members. I like!


oopss.. a big family photo without the youngest brother and wife @_@ hope for more outing like this, can see brothers happy together, see grandparents' happiness in playing with grandchildren. myself can see the outside world, relaxing in the nature and have fun with my children :D



hehe mother in law said I lose weight ooo.. keke the wearing in black helps much! hahhaa :D



latest wallpaper in my phone ^^




tata! hope you enjoy your everyday with thankful heart :)

April lo!

good morning!



08:26 am in the train.. huh~ running to catch the train oooo



1st of April, I took an emergency leave. coz can't open my eyes wide @_@ today still blur blur, in the very sleepy mode, half way driving only realise, I forget about my office laptop! how terrible it is.. if I were boss, I would ask this kind of staff to get off - too many excuses for not coming to work after 8 days travelling >_<



well thinking of my korea trip, ya I like the 8 days without company emails and office phone calls :p not to say I don't like my work la, somehow, yesterday was my 11th anniversary for serving this company :D it is a good break after months d tiring schedule and work load ^^



too many photos from both my camera and my papa's camera - nearly 2000 photos we snapped! uploaded nearly 400 pieces in both my papa and mama's Facebook albums. check them out!



for my sis and my pic, wait ya... :p btw, this pic taken with my iPhone to show it to my children, my fingers are like ice sticks coz of the very cool temperature that evening.



ya.. everyday I voice message with my bbb - from my iPhone to my sis's in law iPhone using weChat application. I like technology that brings relationship closer and instant sharing build.



I share my things from korea with them - Korean money note, newspaper, rice, food I eaten, weather.. they asked question and I explained to them :)



thanks a lot to my sis in law for helping this. I got to see videos of my bbb too :D because of 1 week my children are with my in law and sis in law, so my children are talking in china slang mandarin with me :p my sis teasing me on this ><



share more in upcoming blog posts.. now I can't focus on my travel log since my office mailbox are having many mails that pending for my reply @_@ been waiting for my sis travel diary, then I share it in my blog :p

20032013 :)

good morning 2003.2013 ^^


a cup of coffee and steamed wholemeal bread after a sweaty running up and down from the train station staircases @_@ thot to catch the earlier train, half way running, the train left before the scheduled time >_<



I just posted this to my fb. I guess this mixed feeling are with many mothers. you want to be with your children, on the other hand, you hope for more personal times for your own interest.



above conversation between myself and my sis in law last night. we share the same parents in law, we share the same surname of our husbands, we share the same feeling being roles of a daughter in law, wife, and mother. after expressing our frustration, sleep, then the next day we carry on the same routine and continue looking for the best way to play our roles.

lately I find myself needs soul mates to fill up my heart emptiness. so I feel glad to meet up my friends, chit chatting with my family members, get much closer with my Lord :) spiritual satisfaction is very important for us to grow rich in our heart and show love and care to people surrounding us and our community.




this morning, I got a thought, to serve the community with my children help. I have 3 ready to go helpers. thinking to look for homes or school, so I can serve more children and spread love message with them. maybe, wait for my children grow bigger and matured. lately, too many sad cases happen, from children to children, the occurrence and impact are alarming.



national education system is having lacking parts? or is the expectation from the parents have changed along the way. now parents are looking for higher academy and physical needs result from children and teachers. how about their mental development? the media and high stream wave of information have changed the learning atmosphere - we are tend to absorb more, less physical interaction..



so, I hope one day, I can share smile and laughter with people surrounding :) with my children of course, if laogong can join, then this would be perfect! children and I are looking forward to visit a local community old folks house soon. I told bbb, go there to see how lonely the old uncle and aunties are, don't go there to survey the place and next time send us there and ignore us :~



have a nice Wednesday! ^^

just the 2 of us ^^

sis's 1 family gone outing. after the 1 day long being a weekend 'driver' to my children, I asked laogong to take care bbb, then I went out with my mama :)

reached the mall, found out I left my wallet at home @_@ so clumsy lately... so I asked mama to shop 1st and I drive back home to take my wallet. it took 20 minutes for me to meet mama back :~

I asked mama 'today we go to eat at restaurant dragon-I ok? I spend you :)' mama said 'ok ya!'



so we ordered all these..


water chestnut and sea coconut dessert.. we ordered 2 bowl, it came out one. so we ordered additional Chinese hot tea.



my mama :)


xiao long pao came..


purposely snap pic for my sis :p coz she is always my yummy food partner, sort of 'how I wish you were here' feel ^0^


mama looks older now right? hmm better spend more time with our parents..



my sis's favourite! when I about to snap this pic, my mama placed the sambal in the pic too ^^



cray pot eggplants with minced meat. I like this so much! my mama likes eggplant too. we talking and guessing the ingredients and way of preparing this dish.


my mama's special order. she said we ordered this for her when she 1st time dine in this restaurant :) what we have done, all are in our papa mama heart :)

we finished all the above! and we are thinking of dessert somemore :p really can eat ooo..



so we ordered this hehe :p yummy too! very smooth mango + sago + pamelo

after eating, it was 9.30pm. then we started to shop. mama bought a bag for herself. then we went to buy a sweater. I don't have sweater, I always don't like to wear double layered cloth. but this time, many ppl advise me better bring more cloths so I can have them used when the weather is cold during my coming travel trip. so I bought one.. grey colour :) lately, I like grey colour ^^

after that, we went to shoes shop to buy socks. it was 10pm+ then we heard this 'we are closing in 10 minutes..' hmmm we haven't look for our main purpose of this trip - to buy a luggage bag for my mama used @_@

so, we will continue our shopping in the other day :p more things to buy and prepare before we are flying. finish spending all the money, wonder how much left for me to spend in the trip :p

02:27 I want to sleep le.. I feel full in my heart now, coz I got spiritual satisfaction ^^ in one Saturday, I can meet my best friends, see my papa's smile from the heart, have food and talk with my mama ^^ of course, I am glad laogong brought children to the park for playing badminton ^^



good night~ can only sleep around 5 hours, need to collect my passport before we go for sunday service. God bless ^^

love to papa

a birthday gift to papa ^^ bought on Friday lunch time. brought to papa on early morning of beautiful Saturday.


all in gold! when I asked for free gift wrapping service, I feel guilty. not even pay a little more effort on wrapping the gift.. hmm.. nowadays, we buy services - pay money to get other ppl to take care of our loves one. most of the time, we spend money, not time nor love..



papa, this is for you~ happy birth---day~~~


'oh, my birthday is coming?'


ya! next week!


'aiyo, don't need to buy me a watch ma, I have many free watches from carlsberg, shell... I also don't want to wear, so many to choose.. aiyo.. I can use my phone to see time ma.. why spend money.. haiya..'


you are travelling soon, you can't switch on your phone over there, later they charged you international roaming charges, so you use this watch when you travel, so you know the time to gather..


'how much is this? this must be your mum told you about my spoiled watch.. don't need to buy ma..'


ok de la, at 1st we wanted to buy you a smartphone, so you can snap photos and check Facebook. since now you need a watch, so we bought you this, I have saved a lot! hehehe :p



'don't need purposely buy, I already said I don't need ma, ai, waste money..'


well, this is the not very expensive gift, but this is the one I found it suitable to my papa ^^



mama told me the below secretly***

your papa is very happy about the watch! he came to me when I was taking short nap, he showed his hand with the new watch

papa: see this? :D

mama: what's that?

papa: my $3000 watch!

mama: you got a new watch! from whom?

papa: I told you right, daughters are good, they buy me watch! you know what brand?

mama: which special brand?

papa: bonia! same brand with the wallet they bought me! match!

mama: ohhh.. bonia aaa.. good lo..

papa: you told them I needed a watch?

mama: no la.. I am so free to tell them this ar..

papa: they wanted to buy me a handphone, but they are stingy lo, want to save money, so buy this watch, cheaper :D

mama: aiyo, buy you few hundreds watch you already so happy, you sponsored then few thousands for a travel trip are more higher cost..

papa: hey that's different :D

----
well, I feel very happy from the moment I hand over the present to my papa till now when I recorded down this special feeling :) I told my mama, I can't give you and papa very costly presents, I can't do much for you all, this little gesture of love appreciation, I can do it, then just do it :) and I know my papa sure love all the big or small presents that we children prepared for him -- coz my papa and mama love us so much! ^^
