Now A MOM

The word “Baby” does not mean anything to me all these years. Even though I got married early, “Baby” was not what I would even plan or think about at that time or maybe never! I could not imagine myself pregnant, carrying a baby (which I don’t at all before this), feeding a baby, going around with a baby, cleaning poop and pee and etc. Just NO! I would probably sucked as a mom. I was just comfortable as myself and doing my thing my own way and timing. Just not as a mom! I Have no idea how to handle or talk to a kid!

The fact is like it or not, the moment you get married, everyone will ask and some will pressure you about babies. Growing up in a Christian family background plus Chinese culture, we don’t live/sleep/vacation alone with our potential spouse until we get married. BAH! Very traditional and conservative I know! So why not enjoy the two after marriage before moving on to 3 or more (Just my point of view and you do not have to agree/disagree with it!)? Hewp! I can write all my point of views about marriage and baby timeline here but let’s just save it for another post or maybe not at all.

Moving to the next phase of life (Parenthood) was not an easy decision. It was an exciting move for my hubby but it was rather “yes and no” situation for me. Being neither here nor there, I was actually very lost. Making the matter worst, I have a very frequent traveler hubby (due to his job nature). It was tough to face the stress all alone most of the time which eventually draws down to depression (and yet nobody understands but God understands). Phew. After much consideration, negotiations (YES NEGOTIATE) and lectures, we finally decided on family expansion after 2 years of marriage (I was still trying to sort out my life with plus one!).

After nine months of baking (spending my entire second trimester in Montreal with hubby), I am finally a mom with a physical baby in my arms! Me being me, as hard as a rock, as rebellious and a cow, you can imagine how hard I fought between scientific/medical facts and traditional myths throughout my pregnancy plus confinement. It was not easy and until today myths still don’t make sense to me but hey! I am born Chinese! So accept it! Some advices are given through observations and own experiences without clinical test and they may or may not benefit you. And me being a researcher, I guess I would have to learn to accept some of what I don’t see/read or tested. So my advice, just listen, you might need them or maybe not along the way. CHEERS! (Seriously…. Drink more soy bean for fairer baby? Or don’t eat octopus during pregnancy or else something will pull baby in the womb and you can’t push the baby out! Muahahaha!) Ok, fine, people still do believe in those myths! So please! Respect! MILO MAKES BABY BLACK! Tell me that! I am a milo addict! OK! *Make peace!*

Beautiful Sky in Montreal, Canada

Today, I am a blessed mom of a one year old darling. I am so blessed to be given a choice to handle my baby on my own. Being a 24 hour mom, it teaches me life beyond myself. I learned to love, care and to give more than I could even imagine. I couldn’t see myself as a mom who cleans/touches poop and yet I did it! Well, I guess she changes me. It is amazing to see how God works. From month to month I see her grow, change and does new tricks like how she begin to crawl and now walk (very fast and sudden!)! It is beyond what I can imagine to see how God created human to be and experiences are beyond what we read on books/articles. As a researcher, I call this “practice brings theory to life”! Seriously, I think I read a lot ever since I am a mom! Ah well, there are so many things to learns when it comes to babies and not to forget about what to feed them when they started to eat! I have never been so serious about food until I am pregnant and even more when started feeding my baby. We all know that articles are articles. So do talk to other moms or your doctor for some information too! That is how I learn about motherhood from zero to something. HEHE! Baby friendly home? Bah! Don’t even talk about it! It was not an issue until she turns one! Now I am learning to make my home baby friendly. So do wish me luck! (Advices and Ideas are welcome too!)The journey of growing together is priceless and to be able to give the best for her is definitely a blessing from God. Her laughter and presence brings so much joy to the family.

A very playful girl

I think u can see me and my baby getting chubbier together! HAHAHA!

Hubby fed us well! *HUGS*

We as a parent, we learn so much by having so much hands on experience. We are glad to have a strong baby who is able to follow us no matter where we fly. By trial and error (I hope no serious damage), I am glad we made it! Not an easy task but a fulfilling one! *High Five!* 

Hugs to all mom and mom to be out there!

Something New

I have abandon this blog more than a year ago and guess what? I am back! Why am I writing again? 

When we were having our vacation in Hong Kong last month, Hub told me to wake my creativity once again. Giving him a confused face, "Am I that dull ever since a became a Mom? Hmmm...". 

Hong Kong can be an interesting place for creative ideas (besides shopping). The architecture of the buildings and the interior designs of the malls around Hong Kong actually inspire us to think beyond the box. As we were walking and talking about what we see and how we can creatively redesign the rooms in our home, hub suddenly suggest that I should start writing again. 

Hong Kong after a heavy downpour

Ok.. Write? It has been awhile since I last written something. I have to admit that my brain is seriously getting lazy. Just living the day with task and datelines. So, any good topic for me to write?

Hub: Now  that you are a mom, you can write about your experience as a mom. Since you are travelling again, you should have fresh ideas to share. It will be interesting!

Me: hmmm.. Sounds interesting! This means I have to start squeezing my brain juice again for ideas plus grooming again and no more slacking... (For the sake of photos!) >_<

Born in Hong Kong! I will be on my lappy/phone writing again and this time it is about motherhood, traveling with baby, food, home and many more..

Keeping my fingers crossed!

 Looking forward to find some time to write and hopefully it is inspiring and comforting or maybe  helpful to moms/mom2be/mom wanna be/lost mom/anybody!

How We Do It

When it comes to doing things, we all have our very own ways of doing it. We all eat and drink, fold our clothes, talk and arrange things differently. That is why we are all simply unique! But at some point when we begin to share our life with others, we begin to question one another or maybe worst, argue. ~'o'~. After all, we are all human beings. We just need to learn to accept that some are just born to be "chichai la" (don't bother la), some "looks OK/acceptable can already la" (realistic) and some perfectionist (perfectionist to the maximum = OCD)! So imagine a perfectionist marries a chinchai la! Muahahahahahahaha!

I have my very own way of doing things, and the worst part I only like to do it my way most of the time! *SLAP* Being a lefty can be bad enough when it comes to arranging things or how you hang your clothes. Plus 60% of perfectionism? KABOOM! So this is what I always get from my husband -->
1.  "Why la need to be so perfect? Be more realistic can or not?" =_="""
2. Me - " Can hang clothes in this direction ah?"
    Hub - " This direction better ma"
    Me - " This direction better la! Because easier for me to collect back ma!"
    Hub - " No! This direction is easier for me." *Bird chirping*
So how? Lefty vs Mr Right... ahahahaha! *punch*

Ok, enough! Let's talk about Starbucks! It has been while since I stepped into Starbucks for a nice long coffee break. It has always been my place of inspiration, especially when it comes to writing. Good eh? After much visits with my faithful date - laptop, I begin to develop something funny/weird. So, this is what I do to my frappucino.....and still doing it today!

I wrap a tissue around the cup every time I treat myself a frappucino. Wanna know why?

Frappucino = Ice Blended --> Ice melts --> cup starts sweating --> water starts dripping...--> Aya! my shirt/skirt, Aya! my book! --> wet wet la! 0_0

I used to spend about an hour in Starbucks with my lappie. What do I get after one hour? Rings of water on the table..... or maybe some drops on my lappie/magazines ^_^. So wrapping my cup is what I do to avoid the RINGS OF WATER!!! OK! don't give me the weird look! I am not a weirdo! :)

So this is how I do it... *MUAKS*
How about you?

The Magic Brush

Here is one of the very rare post from me, the plain and boring engineer. Something about make-up. Ah well, the thought of making up to work everyday could practically freak me out! Or simply say, eat the right food for the right skin is like the worst advice I would take! (That explains the pimple face AND PRINGLES is JUST SITTING NEXT TO ME NOW!) *SLAP!* Now you know my excuses to remain lazy!

Back to reality, a plain face is good for sports and beach, a little highlight is good for coffee chat, shopping, work and etc, and not to forget.. out-standing for dinner dates, wedding dinner and party! Yes, a simple make-up does make a difference. A little art on the face can make a person look more presentable and beautiful!

What I've discover last weekend, make-up is an art! There are no definite rules and guidelines. The only guideline is to colour within the line! :) It is just like when we first learn to colour an apple! We colour the entire apple red. As we grow up, we then learn to add shadings to the apple, darker red on one side and lighter red on the other! We then move to the advance level, where we are able to make the apple looks 3D! It is all up to our creativity! Just like how we colour our life! There are no limit to creativity, the limit is our mind.

To produce a good art, we definitely need a good brush! Make-up is on the face, and face is the most delicate canvas. A hard or bad brush can hurt your face! After a good research, hard brushes hardly picks up colour compare to soft delicate brush. This means, most of your eye shadow will be stuck in the brush or drop somewhere else. Does that explains the many thick layer of eye shadow? The difference between the salon make up and make up at home? :) Good brush blends the colour nicely onto the skin and you can see a whoala effect! Get a good brush and be happy  with the results! And not to forget to clean your brushes! And clean them right! (Good tip for people with sensitive skin/ pimpled skin!)

Ah, not to forget my little best friend... the curler! It does make wonders to the lashes! *LOVE* It makes my little lashes so lively! This is a very friendly tool before and after your mascara! 

Photo by Maegan

After much practices, I think make-up is interesting! Do remember to clean them well before you go to sleep! Of course, there is no such thing as the best make-up or facial product, it is which product that suits your skin well! Be adventurous babes! Perfection comes with many trials and practices! Even Thomas Edison did not get it right on the first trial! >_@

Make-ups do not entirely covers imperfection!  But make-up makes the world more colourful!

Nail Colour rawks my fingers! weehee!

One.. First or the only one?

Hard I know
Nevertheless I did not let go.
Finding rest at home
After every battle with my bow and arrows.

Seeking for a breakthrough.
But can't seems to find the truth
What I am here for? I asked
Living each day with nothing but a mask.
Without realizing that my soul was buried in the dust.

Well done my dear self
It has been a year n you've done well
Battling depression in your own shell.
Time to get up and move out of hell 

Bubbly Tea!

Hello bubble blog!

Looks like I have abandon you again! Hahaha!

Trying out some new apps for smartphone.. Some blogging app..

Greetings!

How wrong can wrong be?

It is definitely heart wrenching to hear about the massive quake and the unending disaster. Having friends and family there can be the worst worry of all time, but truly thank God they are all ok! Japan have been making headlines every single day ever since the 8.9 quake. Places and faces of sorrow/hurt/fear and emptiness made the front page of the papers. News forecast cold weather ahead and this could obstruct their search for survival. False prediction and judgement are thrown upon them harshly.  Please do keep Japan in prayer (for safety and comfort) and hopefully we are able to hear good news from Japan real soon where they are able to control and minimize the damage caused by the natural disaster. Some may object, some may curse, and some may support but for sure at this moment of time they truly need all the love and support to keep them through this period of fear.

On the other hand, it is quite sad to burn my tick (gift fr hub) to Japan which have been planned months ago. But it the definitely one of the best choice at the moment to postpone the trip. However on the other hand, this remark has actually made me insensitive (at the moment of making decision) for some reason which I do not know why. To me, it is just not so right to go have fun in their house while they are not in their best and we are ought to take care of our safety as well. Don't want my family members to worry dead for sure. Japan is a strong country I believe and they can come back better. There is always another chance.

So here I am one of the "Malaysian who makes insensitive comments" following the news daily and praying for Japan's safety and recovery and also made donations to help Japan writing this. And also would like to remind the Malaysians who think "Malaysians who are insensitive" are once and now a Malaysian too. Just be proud and thankful of where you come from lest u have disowned your citizenship.  

What is in between balance and imbalance?

In between clear and unclear, there stands confusion. In between, decided and could not decide, we get depression. Unable to distinguish black and white, we get grey. If we know the ending but do not know the beginning, then we are stuck. But with a clear view/stand of yes and no, there exist a purpose and a destiny.

The question is, is it that easy?

We dream big when we were young and it just get smaller as we grow older. The fact is that our choices in career and who we want to be have been narrowed down by our decision along the way. My childhood ambition was to be a singer/actress/model and a doctor. I was told that I am fat and ugly (didn't know that I would be thin one day), therefore I did not have the courage to step out. My mom encourage me to sing and would send me for vocal lessons, but then I usually freak out, panic, stomach ache in front of a big crowd! I can only sing at home and for my mom... A doctor? ah.... I was really bad in my grades.. so bad that my mom actually encourage me to stop after secondary 5 and goes to nursing school!! MUAHAHA! But of course there are people who are able to succeed.

Where I am today, is due to my rebellion to my mom, she told me science was hard, as much as I hated science, I pursued it and scored in order to prove her wrong, however, I never thought this would take me so far and obtained more than a degree. The next question is, am I enjoying where I am today?

The fact on earning money on my own one of the joy in my life. At least I can shop for my sis, treat her black sesame ice cream, get branded bags and clothings for my mom, bring dad to dine in a nice restaurant, to bless my family as well as shopping! But the reality of working right now for me is equivalent to draining. 

As much as I like what I am doing right now is almost equals to as much as I hate it. The joy of achieving and being challenged is seriously irreplaceable! But the time which I needed to invest in it is seriously beyond my expectation. Besides the joy of no jam after work, It is almost every week now I would be late/almost missed cell group, miss my hub and the time for myself and not to forget, God. 

It was a joy to all when I moved out from my plan to pursue another, but I wonder does anyone care about the content in me? Or maybe it is just for me and God to know. 

It is never easy to be trap in between what I want, I cant decide, I don't know, "how to let go?" and "what should I do" situation. 

This is where I am, a place where rebellion has brought me to. Do I regret? Maybe a little bit, but hey, at least I know I can do anything as long as I put my heart in it! My achievements has actually overtook my expectation but yet to reach my satisfaction.

Wrong decisions does not mean we will end up in the grave, 

just follow the rainbow and I believe we can get there someday! 

Just lift our hands and say HOORAY! 

At least we did something today! 

Let not disappointment drift us away. 

Just follow the rainbow and it shall be the colours of our day! 

Entering the 3rd month

The title make me sounds like I am pregnant! LOL!

Bring back to life...

Looks like I have a habit of abandoning this blog once in a while!

Life have been real crazy previously like a roller coaster but I am pretty much back on track now...

Here I am writing with my semi conscious head. Hoping to recover by tomorrow! Ah..what happen? As usual... sick again... Flu and fever...and just got an injection again! 

So 2011 has begin! 2010 was a little dull in the beginning but manage to pick up as time goes on... Nothing is better than my Father who never gave up on me... I wonder how tired is He, chasing me up and down and all around!

2011 is going to be better and will also spice it up to do crazy thing...say play guitar and sing? or maybe perform? er...or maybe... try on some new look?? 

aahhh... ok it is getting dull here!

Let's write a random poem then!

Life is great when I am with you,

because there is something magical in you,

that makes me feel your love so true,

When when I am down you lift my blues,

When I am happy, together we bloom!

Darling, you will always be my groom.

~written with my semi conscious head~

~leap for joy!~

Still Alive I am!

Hello! and Hello! Say hello to my fatty snail! @)/<-.->

Hello page! Hv not been updating this page for a long time!

Life have been really crazy for pass months. Praying very hard to be an overcomer!

Apart from my boring story.. I just want t share some crazy traffic report.

I drive a lot these days. Y? Work la!
The are nice, bad and funny people on the road.

1. A guy wanted to cut into my lane. He did not put signal. But he show me peace sign......

2. A hot chick driving a modified ah beng wira. Try to cut queue by using emergency lane. Vroom vroom. Jam la lady! But nice and rare furious hot chic driver!

3. Large lorry without a break light! Sigh sigh sigh.

4. Desperate driver park cars in Funny ways..

5. Lastly. A friend decided to drop me and another friend off at the car park. And guess where she drop us off? IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROaD AT THE MIDDLE LANE! "eh no car! Faster run down. I drop u all here!" feels like James bond in the making!

That's all for now... Nights!!!!

The Restoration

Being brought up in less perfect family, my heart always long for a mother figure in my life. I thought she never loved me as she once curse me with hurtful words, abuse me with anything she can find and disowned me at one moment of my life. As a result I never liked her as my mother.

After spending some time with my aunt, she then remind me to pray for a better relationship with my mom and also not to forget my parents relationship which was drifting apart at that time. It was a desperate call to God. After many years of sowing in prayers, my heart is finally set free and it is truly beating with joy. There may be still some more unwanted pest but then God have done great things to patch things up.

My mother will always be my mother no matter what she have once says to me. A mother can sense the heart of her daughter easily. As I was just thinking about her just now, she actually called me. WOW! Mother! Then I begin to think back how God have patch things up. There are times when I am sick, my mom would call eventhough I did not tell her. I guess it is just a little mother instinct. Today, I am no longer afraid to talk to her as my comforter! 5 years ago, I align my life out of revenge, today, I do it out of love!

Not to forget about my mom and dad. It is truly a joy to hear and see how they begin to grow closer to one another again. WOW! another answered prayer! This is truly amazing! Mummy is cooking more often for daddy and daddy is spending more time with mummy! Whenever my mom call me, daddy is always beside her! LOVE! Shedding some tears of JOY now! God is truly awesome!

God is a God of restoration!

I miss you note

When we are so far away,
It is so hard to pass each day.
Even when the music play,
I can't find a reason to sway.
Because it is only you in my head.

My song without you is like a lyric without a melody,
Movie without you is like a story without a line.
Oh dear, do come back soon,
because life without you is like days without laughter.

You make my life beautiful even when it is not,
You make me complete even when I am not well,
You stand by be even when I am under the storm,
You are so patient, so kind, so loving.
In my dark grey sky, you are my rainbow across the sky.

Missing you greatly....

The wonderful 11!

WOW! I have been married for 11 months! Time flies really fast! Well, many may be skeptical about me being pregnant or not probably ever since I got married. The answer is no, not yet! I am still working hard to keep my tummy flat and sexy like Megan Fox...hahahahahaha! I am so far from it! LOL!

pic fr google search

The best part of getting together is the life and the moments we spent together through thick and thin and the love that keeps growing! Sometimes we may not like the situation but then a breakthrough always brings us closer together! With many likes and dislikes, we must understand that no human is perfect!

To pursue further in life is one part of marriage that I am trying to get through. Sometimes we may not be able to do what we planned but then I believe God has His way for me. I just need to learn to cope and continue to seek for a better outcome. 

Besides all the married stuff, let me share with you a little brain juice of mine!

Today's topic -----===> WORK!

As a fresh graduate coming out to explore, how much we earn is not the most important criteria in job searching. Perhaps, this has been the top criteria that causes many graduates fail to land in a job. I did the same mistake as well because no body told me about what is important but then have been constantly revolving around people who are looking for higher income. To many people, status is set by how much you earn. The higher income group are the better ones among the group compare to those of lower income. What say you?

Lesson 101~ As a start, the top criteria is the experience and skills that we wanted to gain in order to pursue further in our career. We begin by looking for something we wanted to do and to get our hands on it. When we gain the experience and skills, that is when we can sell ourself for a higher income.

I learnt this the long way. People told me that qualification gives you better earning, but then now qualification yes do brings you better earning but then it first land you in a better job. 

That is all my brain juice! Till then... tah tah!

A silent night

A night with minimal distraction. Dearie and I are 12 hours apart and I am missing him like crazy! HOwever, he will never ceased to make me laugh and smile over our short chat. He is the best I could ever have even though there were ups and downs. Ah.. enough of me EMO-ing on the screen...

I think I am too sleepy to write now...haha! Yawn....

Life Goes on!

With much suffering and breakdowns during the first week of work, I have finally pick myself up to look at things positively. Well, not 100% up yet but then at least I am 90% off from depression!

How sad can life be... I can't bring my Camoorah to work! ARGH! 

How hard working can we be? Do we work long hours to show our productivity or do we work short and effective? Well, if there is no time limit to go home, that definitely spoils the market. But when you work towards a time limit, you'll tend to be a little more effective and focus in work. Sadly, this is not the culture here. HATE to THE MAXIMUM! Can't wait till the day I tender my letter! Yes, I know I have just completed my second week, I have learnt something and I love my job...I just hate the culture!

Ah, with life without the SUN, I almost lost my excitement for my birthday. However, friends around you are always the best finger to tickle you and make u smile! ~silent~~~~ Ok what ever. I am just saying that friends are one of the best comfort in life when you are all defeated! That is why God simply put people around us!

This year I am truly blessed with so many greetings on my FB wall (I can't reply them one by one!), blessed with wonderful gifts from hubby and friends and a lovely call from my mama! I am also blessed with so much work that I almost could not make it home to celebrate my birthday with my beloved cell members! LIFE! 

Above all the stresses, taking photo is an absolute stress relief next to shopping!

This picture gives me the feeling of calmness... Love this pic! Took it with manual mode! AHA! 80%mastering it ald!

Cute? My sis-in-law fav doggy! ahahahahaha!

Work Life - balance/ no balance

Before I begin, let's congratulate my hubby's brothers' wedding aka my bro in-law!

Beautiful yeah?

It may be a super tiring weekend but then it was definitely a memorable moment for the both of them. And for me, it was my first attempt on 'actual day' photography! I LIKE! Well, if i have a chance, I would definitely love to brush up and one day, ONE DAY, I shall be a photographer... money comes by clicking and editing! MUAKS!

First week of August was my final week of freedom! Well, Sunday was officially my last day as a housewife. I have resigned! Monday was my first day in my new job. Well, need not to say, I am already missing my freedom and flexibility. I miss those long holiday and late night hang outs! Well, I am nothing more than just a work-being... Wake up- eat-work-eat-work-eat-sleep-wake up- eat- work- eat - work and goes on! This has been my life for the last two days! Thank God it is a holiday today! But then there is nothing much more than settling my banking stuff, cleaning the house and replenish my sleep! After all that, I am still back to normal routine on improving my knowledge regarding my work.

I am well defeated daily, but then I take what Keith says :- we get up each time we are defeated! Here goes, get up each morning with new motivation and defeated each time after work. Come back, pray and get up again the following day! My rest is always found in the LORD And God is still the best person to talk to.

The only thoughts I have is how to sustain this life by suppressing the pressure? Keep on looking towards the best possibilities to get the best out of this bad routine. After all, our situation is determined by our cosmology aka world view! 

What are the things that I can do to make my life better?

> Get an iphone to get connected... (no personal mail, FB and MSN in work... I wonder reading news is allowed?)

> Sign myself up for a gym membership - to sweat out the stress and tiredness, exercising not only keeps you in shape but then improve your alertness, sharpness and sleeping time (need not take a long hour sleep)! 

> take a good walk and take some pictures - to make life more colorful and meaningful 

> take a nap during lunch - to sustain me through the rest of my day - I am gonna buy a pillow to work!

> Don't get cheated by my work hours - must be smarter and no longer naive

> Options are wide open and I am still young! Exploring opportunities and who knows I might find something suit me best!

> Never neglect God in the times to tiredness... He is still the best rest

> Never throw your stress thoughts to your spouse, you'll never know what it will end up to be...either a peace in your heart or just another stress in your butt!

> Keep smiling not matter how much it hurts

> Look at work positively! It is a learning curve!

> Learn to love the Jam and toll! It is a gift from our government! It is our specialty! It will not be us without them! They truly mold us to be more patient and more creative in our earnings! Hence, we can survive anywhere with anything!

> Enjoy the sunrise while you have been sleeping through it 1/4 of our life! Enjoy the sunset, which we usually miss due to TV.

> munch during work hours! 

> try to wear smth nice to work but smth not too nice.. don;t wanna be too eye catchy!

> Lastly, be the salt and light!

My micro lalat!

No title!

Hello! and Good Day!

It is how funny how human can be easily triggered by just one thing when they are so insecure? When we see someone with sexy outfit, we make a fuzz of it. When we are over charged we complain badly. And sometimes when we have a decision to make, we go round the bush. Well, not all is bad of course. We still have our human and consumer rights. 

Three months of job searching wasn't easy. Many times, I am truly defeated by my own expectation. I was not as easy as I thought it would be. It is definitely not new to read about early retirement and financial freedom. To me, financial freedom and retirement is turning what you like into what you earn for a living. My hobby, my job! But back to earth, this is pretty far from reality for the majority, especially when we put on our Chinese mind. We work to earn a living and earn much enough so that we can pursue our hobby...LOL! Am I too shallow?

The truth is that, being the new generation, I am just being rather picky about jobs. Shifts? Nah I don't want. Location? too far and petrol is expensive! OT? Pening la! Pay? too low! The truth is, nothing comes in a good package. If everything is so smooth then why God create us with a brain?

At this moment of indecisiveness, it is best to leave the entire burden unto His hands, for he care and know our ways better than our own limited mind. Job interview is no longer withing this region. It has been expended to the next. Far beyond what I could think of. A job which I have applied 2 months ago (which I almost forgotten about it and it seems super impossible for getting it) has just resurface itself. Well, may says it is an opportunity, but I say, let God takes the wheel!

Every beep on my mobile is like "am i getting it?" "another interview?" "owh rejected?" OWh.."daddy coming in for graduation! YAY!" With all the messiness there will always be a spark of joy! And it is always from the person closest to your heart!

Till then..chao!

Hello Alfonso!

Melaka! Besides side seeing, food-hunting is one of the best thing to do for a day trip to Melaka. Here are some pictures of my one-day-trip to .....

Chendol! Nyum Nyum! 

Chicken rice ball with asam fish and some vegetables to keep us healthy!

A little boat ride while the stomach is working on the food! RIVER CRUISE! 

The lamp on the boat.

The river

So this looks familiar? Er...maybe blocked by the tree...hahaha! A Famosa! 

Tickets to ride up the sky for a 7 minutes helicopter view of melaka! Tourist and locals have different price. So do remember to bring your ID if you are locals!

Something to quench my thirst! Rootbeer! Do china have rootbeer?

After so many day trips to melaka, finally! My first ever Satay Celup! Yesh! It is a must try! They are to dip in some gravy

Capitol Satay serves you the best celup evar!

Now you know why it is the best? People are lining up to get a seat! And they line up by the road side..very narrow road i would say!

After a one day marathon trip, I decided to stay home for the weekend...

My little weekend project? Take photo!

Till the next post! Toodles!
