End of June

Good morning. Am feeling full! Thanks Lord for the daily bread for my soul, and breakfast to start my day.


Ya, quite heavy breakfast for today. Kopi-o-kosong, barley panas, nasi lemak bungkus, roti bakar ^0^ maybe I got dehydration from last night jogging, just feeling to drink more and more.

Here comes the ending of month of June 2015. Great things happened in June were..



Easy trip with sis to melbourne






Reached the Great Ocean Road which been hearing people talking on


Nice view relaxed moments



Silly stories collection.. To write my travel story on this destination.. sooner or later ;p

Then, what else in June?



Attended my cousin bro wedding dinner. Snapped a couple pic with laogong. In recent years, found that we seldom take pic - just the 2 of us. Guess, my papa and mama having many couple photos than us in their 帅公美女 photo album :p

In June, most of the night I can listen to the boy playing piano songs. Forced to practice as his grade exam is around the corner.


I am glad that he is now like to explore the piano keyboards. Compare to last time, we as parents needed to convince or scold him so he goes to his class. Now the boy is learning the tone of 'pink panther' as he admired the uncle at the church playing this song nicely.


There was one praise and worship session we in charge in Sunday school. Children are getting familiar and more confident in handling the session. Practices make perfect. Hope one day, they can be on the stage, brave and confident.


We celebrate Father's Day in June too. To me, it is a special year, when we all one family attending Father's Day worship service ^^ there is always double benefits when both parents are listening to a same sermon or parenting talk, so both the parents can practise the same thing with the purpose of, teaching our children to be at right attitude and behaviour.

On Father's Day. My bro in law and parents in law came to our house too. I cooked them simple dinner with my limited cooking skills haha. Short catch up with my mum in law, she shared much too with me :) sometime, what parents need is only only ears, patient hearts and time.


After my in law left my house in the evening, I did the last grab of cake, went back kampung with my boy to visit my papa and mama.



Sempat for a short gathering ^^


Me and papa. Well, I was with a messy look, as the celebration done for the 3 important men in my life, morning, afternoon, then night :D feel loved for having my laogong, papa, and papa in law ^^

At work, many things happened in June too.


Work I am in now is basically talking about process and ideas on continuous improvement. Most of the time, we need to reach out to different teams and department to have joint effort to improve the process efficiency.


Attended 1 training course 'presentation alive' on public speaking. This course is different from the pervious communication and presentation courses I attended, this course made you tabs in front of the class, repeating the same phrase of words from your 3min speech, till the instructor satisfied with your standing position, tone, pitch, gesture, movement, face expression... Well, we could only say, fortune sides those we are brave ;p



This is one of the real workshop which my partner and I in charge to share new concept to group of people. To be honest, I didn't use the presentation technique I learned from the presentation class, as I haven't get used to the gesture and variation tones in my speech that gonna wow people or boo by people haha.



We celebrate Sunday school Sunday too last Sunday.



Impressed to see young children in charge the praise and worship for the day. Nowadays children re brave and confidence that last time, maybe children nowadays are always being snapped in parents camera :)



We attended parents-children workshop. Feeling differently when we discuss a topic with children and everyone giving feedback and idea. We always do this in the office meeting, this round, husband and I need to manage the 3 little ones :)


1st time, I tried to trim gals hair, not only the fringe, but the whole head. Well, thanks to the girls as they are willing to be the guinea pigs haha. Suddenly I got a thought - I want to pick up simple hair cut technique. I used to watch YouTube video on trimming boy's hair, I shall explore more on gals hair too hehe. Interesting..

What else for June?



I started reading more books in my daily life. In the bag, at the sofa corner, on my bed... I have books around me. So I can read a page or 2 whenever I have the waiting time..



What's next for upcoming July?
In the office, many things are in the scheduler from July till November.. For my personal, I shall continue picking up my daily short jog, read more to enhance my knowledge and skill, cook more and rest more :D



Till then, hope you have a great journey in the 2nd half of year 2015!

Loving each other

We started our day with this hymn playing in the car..


主若是玫瑰一朵，
我就是绿叶一片，
主与我心心相印
紧紧的以爱结连，
任凭是风狂雨暴，
同甘苦朝夕相见，
主若是玫瑰一朵，
我就是绿叶一片。

主若是一首诗词，
我就是爱的音乐，
跳跃着高声欢唱，
像一支清歌晨鸟。
主与我此唱彼和，
心灵间默契配合。
主若是一首诗词，
我就是爱的音乐。

我若是冷若冰霜，
主就是冬日太阳，
他热情十架大爱，
感动我铁石心肠。
但愿我溶为溪水，
直流到主爱海洋。
我若是冷若冰霜，
主就是冬日的太阳。

我若是一块荒地，
主就是及时甘霖，
他的恩沛然下降，
滋润我干渴的心。
我不再白占土地，
开花结果扎根深。
我若是一块荒地，
主就是及时甘霖。


If Lord is the rose, I am the green leaf, love connects us in the storm and in good day.
If Lord is lyric, I am the love rhythm, we singing together like the morning birds.
If I am cold hearted, Lord is the sun in the winter, it melts my heart, and leads me to His ocean of great love.
If I am a wasted land, Lord is the sweet continuous rain that moist the land and make me bear fruits.

Children and I talk about the lyrics, talk about the relationship between us and God. In your life ups and downs, God is with us. We shall turn our eyes to Him, as He would never fail us.

We talk about siblings love. Love your brother and sister, as if one day, if you need help, or you want to share your happiness, they wouldn't say no to you, as they can't run away from you. Of course, I explained all these with my silly gestures and jokes.
Angel said - mummy, you are so funny la :D



Today breakfast - steamed Japanese sweet potato. Packed 1 for sis and hang it to her car's handle. Wondering, if she could see it? Luckily she was eating the sweet potato and skin as well in the car :D when I called her up. How nice, if everyday I can prepare warm breakfast for family and have quality talk moment with children.

Lately, I sometime do wake up early to do some housework. Playing hymns then sweeping and mopping floor, it is a bliss in fact. You have the quiet moment while everyone is sleeping. Have clearer mind too. However, it is quite challenging too, to have alarm clock set at 4.30am, then snooze it few times to 5am. Then dragging the tired body and heavy eyes to the kitchen.. It is good, if I can include a morning jogging in this precious ME time too ^^



Pic taken last night in the midst of children were busy packing their smelly-messy school bags.


"Let's have your eyes open big and wide!" Hehe I would take this as another quality bonding moment for a working mother with her always-clearing-homework-at-last- minute children :p




To co-run a workshop today, hope my half day presentation won't bore people off :p

Happy Thursday!

Talk3talk4

Yesterday headline news in local newspaper was on the 14 years old teenager committed suicide due to the pressure received from schoolmates and teachers. Ya, people words kill! So when there is some stories which are not bringing any beneficial to other people, we may choose not to speak it out.


This morning, our in-car topic was talking about handling pressure from people talking. I shared with my bbb, in the corporate world, we have people who likes to create topic to talk to, and sometime, what they are sharing might not be the truth. Same goes to them, in the school, there is surely students who like to pulling people legs, who like to talk non-sense, who like to bully classmates. Let's us bring all the challenges, and disturbed feeling to God, put these students in our prayer, hope for God's guidance and forgiven. Don't be ever to give up your life to these people, this is surely not worthy.



Soon come to month end of June. When we planned our tasks to be done in the office, look at the schedulers, I told my colleague - the scheduler is full every week, then my 2015 would be over so soon.. Then I am reaching to old age soon! Ya. I am no longer easily can call people 'kak' coz I am not young anymore.. Pula people call me 'kakak' hmmm

Happy Friday!

Fishie people

Sometime, we don't get what the result we are looking for after all the effort we put in to accomplish a task / to strengthen a relationship / to gain fame..


The reflection we shall look into are most of the time, within ownself. However, many people are not doing it this way, they started finding fault in other people that caused the failure, or worse still, putting down other people with hope that, no one would notice their failure or imperfection.


Reminding myself and children on this, if there is something not so pleasant is happening, let's finger pointing to ourselves 1st before start looking excuses by blaming other innocent people.


Love each other. We shouldn't feel great and satisfied when people around us are in not so good condition. God created us with His image, given us soul, and of course with lots of love.


You are what comes out of your mouth. Be a good person, but don't waste time to prove it.

2 kinds of people

Like the idea of the below group of comparison


Android or Apple iOS?
Apple for me ^^


My sis is LOL, I am haha :D


If I would like I choose one from the 2, no beer for me. Anyway, I prefer hot drink ^^


Cash or credit card? Now I use card as backup plan, with limited cash in the wallet too :p


Errr.. It depends. If I have something serious to do which I cannot be late, I wake up once alarm ring. If it is an ordinary alarm set, I snooze for 1-2 times :p

Happy Monday!
Children are being good today, go to school happily after 2 weeks of school holidays :)

Dropping by 11june

I know soon, June 2015 gonna pass thru.. Day by day, everything seems moving in fast track. What not been happening last time, now it just happened. The calm sea can always being stirring up a great big wave..


There was a sermon preaching in one of the Sundays. The pastor shared - live our every today, as a 'lifetime' once you open your eyes in the morning, the new life begins. You do all the living activities, then you conclude your day with prayer, then you sleep. We wake up in the next morning, another 'new life' started.

This sounds like Jesus resurrection from his death. You gonna be a new person after resurrection, a 2nd life begin. If we live today as today gonna be the last day, then we tend to be less being bordered by those negative influences, we tend to love and treasure all the beautiful moments that happens around us. We pray the best for our love one, we smile more to people surrounding us, we thank people, we apologise when it is needed, we say 'I love you' more often.

Yesterday I came across an article sharing, meet our parents and loved one frequently, not meeting them in a way of 'good bye visit'. This has reminded me, I shall meet and call my parents more often, and not visit them when only the day before the flying on board. Shall not be unhappy with children and sleep along with the not so happy feeling. Shall say good night to laogong before zzz..

Happy good day to you!

Hello June!

U-hu~ children packing their bags for holiday day trip with teachers and friends. I am bringing my luggage with me too! Going to fly soon, hmm in 13 hours :p



Yesterday got some sincere comments from my work done "too choppy for my liking", which, making my mood being disturbed at the same time, a reminder for myself - the art work being called as an art work when it is with personal style and created with love and passion. You must 1st love your art creation, before people liked it.



Last week, I attended 2-day training program 'effective writing reports, letters, email in business English' or I would prefer to call it as a 'grammer class' or 'correction class' for confidently-mistakes-making English vocabulary used. Most of the time, when there is majority of people are practising the same, the wrong seemed to be right to follow. I enjoyed the class. Like the beauty of English language.

Keep learning and keep improving our knowledge and skillset of , one day, we will appreciate own self for the effort we have been putting in. I like someone saying this - changes are the constant. When we change, wisdom grows.

Reaching office, work 1st then the fun part would be in real soon :D

Tomorrow

I played 2 songs in car on the journey to the school. 'I know who holds tomorrow' - Chinese and English versions. Then I started the in-car topic..

Last year, when we talked about travelling to Lembing hill and river, with all the challenges ahead, would you feel worried?


We need 4 wheel drive car to bring us cross the bumpy road, we need to cross the river by holding he rope..


We need to climb up hill with full of stones and rocks.. You might fall dawn, you might don't know what gonna heading ahead..


But you just followed. You just go ahead and kept moving forward to the peak and we saw the beautiful waterfall and rainbow. Why didn't you say 'no' to the trip after all the difficulties and stories shared? You might hurt yourself, you might stop at the half way and didn't know how to move forward..

All this because, you know papa and mama are with you. You know papa and mama would definitely hold your hands and walk with you. When you fall down, you know who to look for, you know papa and mama gonna leading the way up to the hill or down to the stream. You know, and you are surely confidence, papa and mama won't let go you..

Same like tomorrow. We don't know how our tomorrow would be. We might not seems to understand, we might be feeling worried what gonna lay before the journey. Shall we keep moving or we just stopped at today? No, we keep moving, we welcome tomorrow, coz we know who holds the future. Who knows how to handle us and bring us to concur all the difficulties.


God holds tomorrow. God's hand raise us up. So keeping faith, and we welcome our future. If God is not allowed a single marrow to fall down, then no one would.



Why there is always 21% oxygen and 78% nitrogen in the air composition? Why the distance between the sun and the earth is always just nice - not too closed to burn us out, not too far to let us feeling super cool. Why the turning of the earth is a day, not 28 hours for yesterday and 13 hours for today? Why a year is a year?

Must be someone who designs and controls all these. Then who? If even the person was having 1000 years of life, then how about the remaining years?

Bbb: 'ya, we are now year 2015, we can at least living or 2000 years?'

Our God holds the past, today, and future. And this won't be changed. Let's move on to tomorrow, as we are closer to our God day by day.

Children and I go to the school and to the office - with hope and tomorrow :)

Happy Monday!

2205 Friday

Good morning Friday!

Can't wait for this weekend. Feel to be with children day and night, want to try new recipe with air fryer. Bought a easy step by step recipe book for cooking dishes with air fryer, I asked my children to pick up 1 recipe each, I will buy all ingredients then they learn to cook. Hoping one day, each of them can master few dishes, so children can prepare meals at home when I am away.



Dinner cooked by the men in my house. Am still missing this meal, how a warm homecook meal to fill up an empty stomach after a tiring trip back home from work. When I was stuck in the traffic jam, the boy called me up..

Boy: mummy, where are you right now?
Mummy: still stuck at xxx, not even reaching yyy
Boy: then we eat the dinner 1st
Mummy: Ya, go ahead and eat 1st, save a small portion for me is enough

Love and care from family members made me feel loved ^^ and caused me eating heavy dinner :p

But still.. After children sleeping, sis and I went out for dessert ^0^
I got myself hot black sesame soup, and sis got herself icy dessert with durian. The durian ice cream smells nice!


I like these photos :) we called up my mum and asked her a question..

Sis: mummy, would you care to being naked and be in the hot spring with sis in law?

Mummy: if you dare to have it, then me too will do it

Sis: am not hahhaha :D

So, we are still not used to do that in front of people we know. Still remember for the 1st time in the Korea public hot spring, we dare not to be in the pool just bcoz we and those aunties knowing each other.

Our 1st time being naked in the public pool was in taiwan, where sis and I took bath in the public room hmm 30 min before the operating hours which hoping not many people left in the room hahaha :D

Beginning of this year, when we were in Nagoya trip, mum, sis and I were sitting nakedly and taking bath together, the experience is nice :) but if we would want to have sis in law along.. Hahhaha the answer was no no from sis and mum. Or I guess, sis in law dont want to keke

Happy Friday!

520

Just dropping by my sis blog.. And I ponder this..

"人生就是这样，年老的走了，新生命就诞生，就这样循环循环的，你能控制不生育，但你能阻止死亡吗？"
"...You can have birth control, but can you stop the death?"

Yes we can't stop our death. Once it is the time, then we gonna lose the last breath. However, Christian believe that - For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

约翰福音 3:16
神爱世人，甚至将他的独生子赐给他们，叫一切信他的，不至灭亡，反得永生。




Eternal life - our lives build forever relationship with God's life. The physical body can be dead, but our spirit gonna have the everlasting life.



Today is 520. It sounded as 'I love you' in mandarin - wo ai ni. Seen many lovely couples photos in Facebook. Hmm when was the last time I took sweet sweet photo with laogong har? Well, let's practise this.. A woman shall love herself 1st so her children and husband will love her more (konon la) keke..



Ya, love myself efforts..

Action 1 - bought 3 books today. Book price increased..

Action 2 - bought myself coconut shake after my heavy lunch meal of teppanyaki chicken + rice and 7 colour beans soup :D

Action 3 - applied leave for my upcoming travel trip

Action 4 - got myself involved in charity booth at the church


Charity drive to gather cash for the orphanage houses


Blissful to have the 'me' time to handmade some stuff I like to. Been thinking to do Christian handmade stuff for selling and sharing, recent years I got chances to do so :) sharing God's love to others


Young gals like these key chains


Baby girls like the colourful wooden beads necklace and bracelet ^^

Continue to be a good girl and to love and be loved :* happy 520!

Who holds tomorrow

As any ordinary school day, I send children to the school and lecturing in the car. I shared with them how important it is to have your self discipline to manage your own daily life. How the earth having the orbital revolution, how the traffic lights functioning in right order, the steps we want to fry a fish.. All are need to be in own sequence so we won't mess our lives upside down. 'How shall you focus on your university assignment while you need to figure out how to live your day without people helping?'


8:41am Blog typing paused..when I listening to this..


Without staging and make up, the vocal touched my heart..

Every step is getting brighter
As the golden stairs I climb;
Every burden's getting lighter,
Every cloud is silver-lined.
There the sun is always shining,
There no tear will dim the eye;
At the ending of the rainbow
Where the mountains touch the sky.

Played the cd which I got from the church, a sermon on parents day service few years ago with titled - who holds tomorrow'. It started with a mother and a 8 years old daughter sharing their testimony on God's miracle. I started tearing when the mum started her sharing..

At the daughter age of 4, she got this rare sickness, Severe aplastic anemia (SAA). Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a disease in which the bone marrow does not make enough blood cells for the body. Aplastic anemia is rare and occurs more frequently in eastern Asia countries. The story told about how the battle the difficult situation which, from white blood count of 4, which normal children got 100+ till she got 300+ white blood cells to fight for the body. How the family crying and singing with Christmas carol in the Christmas Eve, when everyone thought that would be the last Christmas to the girl. How the church fasting and praying for the girl when doctor decided to stop all medication to avoid more worse side effect... One day after so many months, the girl's marrow started to function, then fully cured which, the doctor admitted the God's miracle.

I was non stop tearing while listening to the testimony. As a mother, we know how the mother felt when it seemed no way to help and save the beloved daughter. How the joyous when the daughter has been healed by their faith by turning their eyes to the almighty. How happy it is when they started counting the birthday the can celebrate with the daughter in her new given life. The tears of happiness and appreciation.

The climax of my sentimental and dramatic sobbing session was, when the sharing session with the girl singing this..

我不知明天的道路，每一天只为主活，
我不借明天的太阳，因明天或许阴暗，
我不要为将来忧虑，因为我信主的应许，
我今天要与主同行，因他知前面如何。

我不知明天的道路，或遭遇生活苦楚，
但那位养活麻雀者，他必然也看顾我，
他是我旅途的良伴，或经过水火之灾，
但救主必与我同在，他宝血把我遮盖。

有许多未来的事情，我现在不能识透，
但我知谁掌管明天，我也知谁牵我手。


I don't know about tomorrow;
I just live from day to day.
I don't borrow from its sunshine
For its skies may turn to grey.
I don't worry o'er the future,
For I know what Jesus said.
And today I'll walk beside Him,
For He knows what lies ahead.

I don't know about tomorrow;
It may bring me poverty.
But the one who feeds the sparrow,
Is the one who stands by me.
And the path that is my portion
May be through the flame or flood;
But His presence goes before me
And I'm covered with His blood.

Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand.


How we take thing for granted? How we not treasure the moments when we are bonding with children and the blessing to have them? How we think of our own wants and needs and neglect children love demands from us? Hmm something to ponder.. When our children are staying healthy with us, we shall spend time with them. This is not sacrifices, as we get the love and fullness from our lovely angels in return.

Lovely month

Come to the month of May, we see flowers, cakes, family photos on Mother's Day. Schools having art works and celebration for parents-children bonding activities. Parenting talks everywhere.


However, we hope that we love and care our parents are not only on these special days. Reminded myself on this too. Heard that my colleague's dad passed away this morning, heard that my another colleague's mother passed away after few months of cancer battling.. We don't know when would be our time to lose our parents, to love our parents has to be now.



How was my 2015 Mother's Day celebration? This year I got simple celebration with heart fully filled with love and blessing :)



Short trip to subway pyramid with mum on Sunday morning for nice food marathon ^^ then went back hometown for seafood yum yum :D


Sunday night we got eldest brother and sis in law came to our house for satay + ketupat + opera almond coffee chocolate cake cutting + happy chit chatting :)

For my own family, I got sushi for dinner. Saw children happily eating sushi, I felt blessed for having laogong and children together. Heart filled with love. Tummy filled with delicious sushi. Body filled with fat! :p

Told laogong what I really wanted for Mother's Day gift was - baked Japanese sweet potatoes! Feel to eat sweet potatoes for weeks @_@

We see Mother's Day presents, lovely handmade cards from children to mothers. What I got from my children? To them, most of the special days are ordinary days >< sometime I feel my children a bit cold hearted @_@
Anyway, they have given me the precious gift for this special day.


Bbb joined the choir team for praise and worship on the parents day worship @church. They wake up early to get themselves prepared and I enjoyed seeing them do the last rehearsal before the service time.


Seeing Angels getting taller. Seeing children are more behaved on the stage. Seeing them serving God with their voices and singing. Seeing them committed to the weekly choir practises and Sunday school bible learning. What a blessing bliss I got as a mum of these 3 angels :)



My grandma just got stroke. For the 1st time it is near to me for having family member who need extra care for daily living life. This has in fact touched and disturbed my heart. I know there would time my parents and parents in law need our full standby care one day. Apart from preparing myself for the day, am also keep reminding myself to love family members by showing care to them..before we lose them one day.






Happiness is family bonding hours with no hesitation.
