What will be, will be


When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother
What will I be
Will I be pretty
Will I be rich
Here's what she said to me

Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be




Today is shyuan's nanny daughter bday.. I have prepared an emergency bday gift for her :D


Got the baby girl to be the angel to send the gift to the bday gal. Age of 18, how sweet it is. Sis and I were talking about the nice bday greeting for 18 years old gal, we googled some of the nice one, and funny one :p

Recalling my age of 18. When I was graduating from my secondary school.


Was not wearing pinafore at that age, wearing as a prefect. When I preparing myself for last week office team building, I bought this uniform set. I look funny, round and short >< but I was in the happy young mood as my colleagues were.

Monday itch

Well, feeling not comfortable now, been having vaginal infection since last week. Think of my sis went thru this for few years, I am quietly deal with it, hopefully with the antibiotic sub, I am getting well soon.

Today is 24th of August. So fast, 3rd quarter of 2015 going to be closed and left only the final quarter of 2015 - to fight for 2015 work performance, to realise personal 2015 resolution. Malaysian national day is in this coming weekend, are Malaysian ready for bersih4.0 public meeting? No matter what, we just hope to have a peaceful and harmony country to live in.

What am I up to? For this week, few important appointments to be handled in the office. Many follow ups especially after a week away for last week. Last week colleague and I went for regional office audit at temerloh and kuantan.

Then followed by department team building "bee back to school" at cheating. Road trip is tiring. But the car ride allowed us to see the nature beauty as well as the pollution of these beautify cities. Will share photos in coming posts, as I have transferred photos from my phone to laptop.


Last weekend, laogong cleaned the house fans. The boy trying to reach out. Well, he can manage this soon :p

I was a good girl to clean my desk at home :D bought some small racks so my computer and printer got a new seating.


Got the 2 bb followed me to buy the rack..


And the boy fixing it for me :D


Children set the new schedule for computer using. So (hopefully) no more fighting after this..


Tried new Korean food on Saturday


Like the food.












That night, the 2 gals locked themselves in their room. Then I noticed that, 2 of them started cleaning their messy room. I felt happy about this. This reminded myself - be an example for your children to follow, this is the best parenting way for wanting children to follow what you want them to do. Pity the 2 gals as it was nearly 11pm 'let's clean the room in this coming long weekend, I will help you all' :)

On Sunday morning, went for Sunday service, the pastor shared about importance of God's word to grow our souls. After Sunday school class, I got myself an afternoon nap.. Till the evening. Laogong cooked very good aroma dinner.

Thanks for laogong and children for letting me got a good rest over the weekend after the 4 days car ride to East Coast. Suddenly feeling my bbb have grown up, and my man is more lovely :p

Till then. Happy week ahead!

Raya Party

Yesterday we got 2015 raya celebration in the office. Lots of delicious Malay food! Varieties of choices from different types of curry, nasi beriani and nasi dagang, ketupat and nasi impit, roti jala, rendang, sweet and spicy gravy, fruits and kuih raya...

The dress code is traditional costume. Since I don't have cheong sum, and I can't fit in my sis's cheong sum.. I bought myself a new set of baju kurung.


Pic with my team mate. Can you see how many layers I fold for the kain? I am short!


Surprisingly, we got the best dress for non-Malay wearing traditional suit ^0^ boss asked me for a cat walk @_@ before I got the prize.. "Now let people take your photo"


Errr.. Shy shy ok when all eyes are on you.. Hopefully, my smile and my cartoon cat-walking brighten someone's bad day if there was any :)


So this is the rumble team for 3years? Each of us in the department belongs to a team. So whenever there is games or team building, we would be together and strike for the champion! APPY our team was the rumble king for year in year out games and competition. Proud to be in the team which everyone is passionate towards team building and team spirit. The sad thing is, yesterday game was the last for this existing team, we going to restructure the teams to allow remixing of everyone since the same members were together for few years. We going to rebuild the new teams by next week.. Well, hope the fun and joy continues in the new team, and we got better collaboration:)


This is my boss's direct report team. The one in black is the head of department and my boss. In pink is my partner. The one in orange tudung is department sis to take care all of us and PA to boss :) there are 4 team leads in the department (1 is not in the pic). The 2 youngest gals are company management associates. They normally serve in a department for 6 months then they move to another new job function. Guess what's the name for this so called management team? DLL - dan lain lain :P


Group photos of the day!
Can you spot me - the shortest?



Duit raya in CNY packet.
Best dress in raya packet :)

People change. People come and go. Some of the colleagues here are my ex colleague 10+ years ago, then we meet again in this department. Some are my ex-supervisors from or not from this department.. What I am trying to say is, treasure each of the relationship built with your colleague and people surrounding you. One day, they might be your boss, your team mate.. So don't hate but love :)

After yesterday gathering, we are looking forward to next week department team building outing. Am one of the 2 committees :p so upcoming communication to the department is ready to blast out from today onwards ^^

This is one of the fun and rewarding moment when we are as a working mother compare to full time housewife.

Till then, Happy Thursday!

1st 5

Came across this moment in 1st5 app



My Moment:
It’s time for resurrection! What are some grave clothes you can take off to fully walk in freedom today?


Grave clothes.. Hmm I shall not live in people's unfairness judgement that confused myself and bring down my self-confidence. Keep it up to be a better me :)

Recommending this apps 'first 5' to the women I love. No matter if you are a Christian yet, the inspiring moment shared each day, may transform you and let you communicate to yourself.





箴言 9:10 敬畏耶和华是智慧的开端, 认识至圣者便是聪明。
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.


I regretted not sleeping early last night, and I am feeling sleepy now.. Being greedy to spend time on mobile phone than allowing myself to have quality resting time. Told my angel this morning, let's sleep early tonight, we are lacking of sleep.. Not a good example to children hmm.

Last night I went to mall to quick look for baju kurung for tomorrow office event. I brought along Angel. Then the girl helped to look for larger size baju kurung. I treasured the moment of the show 40min. When children are getting taller, when they can give me their constructive opinion and feedback, I feel blessed to be a mother :) by the way, I didn't get any piece of baju kurung last night, coz not many preferred choices that caught my eyes and fit into my body size :p

Yesterday I told my colleague, I was getting older.. I started being a 'housewife'.. Squeezing time to be with children, sweeping the floor, being busy in the kitchen, checking all types of flours and sauces at supermarket, doing marketing, studying recipe, thinking of gardening.. My colleague asked 'then how shall a young people behave then?' My answer was - sleeping and entertaining own self over the weekend, instead of being ah soh :p

Lately, laogong and I are facing the same issues..
1. Body aching
2. Eye sight seems not right

Oh... Symptoms of old age! So in the morning or before calling off the day, would see either I massage laogong shoulder or he massage my legs :( even the quick touch makes the different to the stiff muscles. Come on, this is too early for us ok! Adjusting the glasses so we can read comfortably. I just can't accept this coming so soon even before age of 40.

How shall we not admit the time passing fast?


Look at children growing taller and taller. As I asked my boy this morning, lately your voice was rough, you are having sore throat or you are changing voice? ^0^


When the girls started concerning their breast development, when they started capturing their feeling and daily stories in their diaries, when they started reading my book collection...


Children have grown up!
And I am getting older ohhh...

Well, let's treasure the moment when I am still being able to work for self esteem and own interest building. At the same time, being a happy working mother and grow together with my children ^^

Happy Tuesday!

Hopping over

Been in the blogger since 30min ago. Many things to be recorded for last weekend, but I didn't know where to start. Posted few photos at Facebook to keep a record on memorable photos.


Sermon shared in the sacred Sunday service let me have another view on value of praise and worship, music contribution to lives and church. This is very helpful too to remind me on the attitude towards ones service in the church as well as, advice and suggestion to my boy on what's next for his music course journey.


Indeed it is a blessing to have children enjoy and being faithful in serving God with their sweet voices. At initial stage, it was a burden to the children to get them to be on time for weekly choir class. Now, they have their interest, they have a community of friends which everyone in the group learning together and grow friendship together.

Last Saturday morning, I went to wet market with my boy. After years staying in this neighbourhood, for the 1st time I stepped in the wet market and bought minced pork. When the girl asked me, how many grams you want? Hmm I got no idea but showing her roughly the portion I need for a meal. Pity the boy who is sensitive to smell, cant stand on the wet market mixture aroma ;p

So these are last weekend home cook meal..


Got the recipe from the auntie selling fresh soya bean..see I am now typical ah soh to chit chatting with other ah soh at the market haha


Mapo toufu and minced meat


Scallop fried with kuchai and tomato


Friend mushroom which, children didn't like it much..

A family sounded 'family' when the family members having household activities together. When children are having their weekend classes, laogong and I do some marketing together, I am the kitchen he is at the workshop, he is washing car and I am folding clothes and children are doing their homework... Slowly, things are getting 'normal' and ordinary family daily life. I am thankful for all these :)

Last Sunday, for a half day baby Shyuan was under my care. Brought her to the church..



See the little gal's smile when seeing me :) I thank mum for the help in this juggling moment. Things getting smoother with mum's existence.


Brother taking care the little one as a 'brother' 'mummy, I bring her go and have a walk ya' it was great and I got a few minutes away to the washroom :)


Brought the gal to the library kids corner..


Story telling.. 'Crocodile's toothache' and 'whales' see the interest on her eyes :)


Companied the little one in the kindly department. Recalling the sweet memorable moments when my children were in the age of 3-6. Children were jumping, singing happily ^^


Don't miss all these moment when you child is pure and sincere.. When he or she is still being interested towards the happening surrounding him or her.. The time just slipped in a eye blink.


I like my children when they being as big bro and big sis when taking care the little one.


See the smile of boy.


I see siblings love. The babies in my house ^^

Many washing and cleaning at home. Many scolding and resting moment. We all grow in the family.

Emergency trim

Last night when I told the boy we shall trim his hair in this coming weekend, he told me teacher had warned him on his bushes hair. So, after washing dishes in the kitchen, I called the boy for a night haircut.

Normally I use the scissors to cut the hair short, then followed by hair trimmer for 2mm trim..


So this is the look after the initial scissor cut. Uneven cut which definitely need a electrical trimmer to complete the mission.

However, sad story happened when, the home electrical trimmer was out of battery..


And I can't find the charger!


'You just go to the school with this head of hair la. Look ok de if people don't see it carefully..'


Errr.. After he looked into the mirror "I don't wan to go to the school"

So. At 9.40pm we rushed to hypermarket, looked for a electrical trimmer with power socket, we need direct current source for immediate hair trim. The queue at the cashier were long... We reached home at 10.30pm then started using the new toy..


Ta-da! 2mm hair


This morning the boy happily go to the school with this new hair cut :D

Habis cerita.
Lots of lesson learnt in this happening.

0408 You are with me


I will exalt You
You're with me,
I will not fear
You are my hiding place,
my safe refuge
My treasure Lord You are
My friend and king,
anointed one Most holy


Listening to this hymn now.

For the month of July, my senior teacher said let me try to teach the Sunday school class. Initially the primary department head put me here to be the successor to this senior teacher to teach standard children. So from the early of July, I started taken over the class, means I need to prepare for the class before the class started. Feeling stress initially when I need to read through the bible passage 1st, then blend the important message in a story, then share the story with children with different face expression and tones in the class...


So for every Sunday I countdown till the end of July.. So I can handover the class to the senior teacher. So here came the end of July.. Then I found myself started enjoying this process of class preparation and story telling in the class. In the one hour time, I normally tell story for about 40min, then the senior teacher do revision with the children on what I have just shared. So if there is any important message I have missed out, then the senior teacher will cover. I like this way of teaching arrangement. So not only children learn but I learn much too. So.. When the senior teacher asked 'how about next week?' I said 'let us continue do this way, I tell the story, you summarise it' :)

From initial 1 student, then the other 1 boy joining in June. Last week, we had a new boy come to my class too. Teachers prayer being heard :) blessed with Your name.

There are so many news on this broken society. Youngsters can't make a survive in this competitive world, bad influences that brought children into danger and staying away from parents... How the adults fulfilling own desire that neglect what children really need. When the world has forgotten about love.. As a parent and as a part time teacher, I hope I can do more from my part. When most of the parents are focusing on children academic result, I would like to take the soft part which human being needed most. My students are coming from non believers family, but the parents bring the children to Sunday school classes every week, hope the children learn the truth and good character. So teacher teaching good character thought bible story. As Jesus said 'I am the way, the truth and the life'

Month of August, office schedule is a bit pack. But I manage to sleep early and being peaceful at home with my laogong and children. Playing chess last night and this morning with my children :)

Happy Tuesday!
