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!

End July

Aloha! Good morning Friday!


I like the pig in karate suit :D

How's thing going on over there? Am still a fatty bum bum :p yesterday went to clinic for medicine on my body aching coz of nerve something. Been having lower back and legs pain in this month. Sis said finally you were willing to go to the doctor. Ya, I got shocked when I can't do plank in the night before.


Sometime children and I do plank in the room and challenge each other's timing. But for the night before, my left leg was weak that caused me can hold my body straight.


Can't do this body stretching pose as well :( Hmm don't play play I still wanting to travel around the world.. Hope the 2 weeks medication can heal all these not okay condition.

So here comes month of August. Few short business trip in August. Now I get used to travel alone :p guess I can realise the travel plan with my sis - travelling to 2 different destination and meet at the 3 destination. Not easy for me, as I am not used to sleep alone in the hotel room, and I might not know how to get back to my hotel room in foreign country :p rely my sis too much in all our leisure travelling trip. Guess what, I don't hold foreign currency whenever I travel abroad, all is handled by my sis :p

Planning for national day weekend break activities. Miss the nature beauty. Miss the jungle, miss the beach. Miss group activities which I can see my children grow with other children. Hope I can make some homemade buns for the outing too :p



In the office lift :)
Happy Friday!

Ps:
seeing pregnant woman standing in the train. Whoever are sitting not realise about her big belly; Whoever standing didn't bother to get a sit for the pregnant woman (for today, me too).. Sometime I would have this thought - shall the pregnant woman asking a seat offer if no one has noticed her? Or the pregnant woman tiring standing and later on complain about people not offering seat for her as what we normally reading it in social page? Hmm...

Price jump

To avoid the situation of 'what I would want to have for lunch?' I just grabbed a pack of food from the breakfast stall and bring it to the office. Today, I pack fried bihun and sotong sambal. It used to be rm5. Today, it is rm5.30. 30 cents increased.

Last week when I was having breakfast at my housing area, I overheard 3 men conversation. "Now you park your car at xxx shopping mall, it cost you rm3 for the 1st hour, last time few hours I only pay rm2" then the conversation continued with this and that price jump...

Well, we see few cents or few ringgit addition to the ordinary price, once it accumulates, the number can be burden to many families. So you see more officemates pack food for lunch, or lazy mum like me, start trying new recipe for home dishes and tea break dessert :p

Life goes on.. Sometime we would have luxury day, spend a bit lavish..



Oops.. This is my sis baby, lavish stuff for her from her beloved papa and mama. As what my sis said, 1 child then it is ok to spend. True, I have 3 children, all price jump (and headache and troubles) gonna x3. Well, have to admit this - the joy and love I got for being a mother, x3 too! :D


I used to have this in my mind - 4 is the number. Ya, my mama has 4 children. I wanted to have 4 too. One day, laogong told me, "I want quality, I don't want quantity" so we stopped at 3 children. Great thing is, I am now enjoying the bliss of having 4 children at home!



3 pre-teenage + 1 post baby = super fun noisy house! When the baby trying to talk like a big child and the 3 big children trying to talk like a baby tone to click along with the baby.. :) the picture is nice.



When the big boy and gals don't want to layan me, I have this 'non stop asking why' baby interested on what I am doing..


When we listen to children songs together, when I explain to her all those childish stuff..

Today is the little cutie baby's 3yo birthday. How I wish to see her surprised face expression when having the birthday party at the kinder. Will wait for the photos sharing ^^ let the papa and mama experience and feel the joy and blessed moment :)

When the materialistic stuff are undergoing the price jump, we shall reconsider what we should spend and what we shouldn't. At the same time, we shall think of any other alternative way of getting the same fulfilment we are looking for - McDonald family box at rm50 for 4 vs rm50 of home cook that gathered a big family in home sweet home. A dim sum buffet at restaurant vs picnic at the park :) alternatives bring surprises and smiles ^^

Happy Tuesday!
Happy birthday to my baby shyuan ^^

The eternal answer

在世上有多少欢笑
能使你快乐永久
试问谁能支配将来
永远不必担忧

名和利那天才足够
能使你满足永久
试问就算拥有一切
谁能守住眼前的所有

人世间变换 无穷变换
今朝多少光彩
在明日转眼消失离开
不朽的生命将存在
在耶稣基督里面
在跟随他的人心间

Singing this hymn in today Sunday service. 永恒的答问 the eternal question and answers. How long happiness can last? Who in charges your tomorrow? Would there be no weary in future? Pride can satisfy you till when? Who can own everything and can we own all things before our eyes?

In this constant changing world, how the colourful treasured moments gone away once tomorrow reaches? The only unchanged stays in Jesus Christ, who is in the heart of the follower.

Switched on the TV for evening edition, thought of follow up the accident news of banting people.. But what I saw was 3 serious tragedies that took away more than 9 lives on the road in a day in different states of Malaysia.

Life is so fragile and unexpected. Since it is that way, then why are we filling our heart with hatred, why we don't forgive ourselves by forgiving others? As we don't know when we are living our loved one, our friends and families.. Try to create the good moment as this gonna be the final time we gonna be together. Let's love other another a little bit more. Not easy, but worth to try.

Raya holiday

How was your long weekend of Raya holiday? Before the holiday, colleagues, friends, family asking me going where? "No plan oo" why this round you are not going anywhere?

Well, during the long break, I saw lots of travel photos in Facebook, from northern to southern of Malaysia, friends gathering, meet up parties.. How about me and my family? Nothing much to share, no photos of beautiful scenery, but yummy foods and leisure time at home sweet home :)


We went to klcc for the 1st day


Children having fun in the car


Raya deco at klcc. Many people taking pic here, so we just squeezed in mana mana saja


Got patung on the stage eating kuih raya


Gals are with kitty car


While walking to the book fest, angel calling me "mami!" Then pointed this advertisement. We snap few photos here while many people walking next to me.. Have to clear the line 1st..


It was really pack! Full of people in the book fest. From the queue to purchase tickets to entering the halls.. Back to back. Holiday fun kot.


While we were walking around, here came the lady talk to my angel "we are coming from Taiwan xxx TV channel, can I have you recorded while you flipping the Taiwanese book?" I was ok about it. The pose looked real, as my angel really into the book.. So after the recording, she still standing there and continue reading :p

In the book fest, we always need to slot in time playing hide and seek with children :( normally I do the 1st screen thru then get laogong to do the thorough check. Children love books. We always need to look for them in the books maze.



This is one of the scenes where I found my boy in one of the book booth after sweating myself and non stop praying the boy is in the good hand..


The boy got the animation author autograph before paying for the book.


So he got this. Frankly, I don't know who was this guy, I curi curi flipped thru the comic books over there to ensure the author photo :p


Angel got her autograph too! When I asked Eva went to take one, Eva said "the books I bought are not from him" when I checked thru.. All horror comics Eva picked @_@


We queueing up for this wheel of fortune when you purchase rm50 from this booth. We got a magnet postcard.

That's all for Raya outing. The remaining days, we staying at home, children reading the new books, mummy trying new recipe..



One of the breakfast.. Steamed and fried..


Cheese cookies making


It tasted nice. Salty crunchy, but children are not fancy about it..


Packed some for my neighbour. The neighbour always give us yummy stuff


One of the lunch..


One of the dinner.. My 1st fried meehoon. Kelam Kabut I prepared it, it turned out very delicious! Hehe


Very fast this meal finished off! Well, I can only praise myself a smart mummy, as I served this meal after children swimming hours :D once they are hungry, for sure all are good!


One of the movie time at home :)


One of the boy practicing music ass exam pieces
