Our little artist..

Emily loves to draw nowadays and her passion has became my collection as most of her masterpiece were dedicated to me (that's my girl!). Hubby asked me to find ways to unveil the potential in her. She decided to stop the drawing lesson when her jeh jeh stopped, so I was thinking maybe I'll bring her out to the field more frequent and by doing this maybe she'll find more inspiration to draw....

The Fact of Life

I'm sure parents will be asked this question at least once over their lifetime as a parent: "Mummy/Daddy, where do babies come from, how are they made?" LOL, I remember my daughters asked me this some time back, well this is how I explained it:

"One day daddy and mummy love each other so much that we decided to make a baby, well to make a baby, you'll need this. Mummy has an egg and daddy has a worm, one day, daddy's worm swam into mummy's body and met the egg, the worm joined the egg and a baby is formed, mummy fed the baby through the food that mummy takes each day and as the days passed by, the baby grew and one fine day when the baby decided to come out, mummy experienced a big "stomachache" and when mummy pushed hard, out came the baby, so that is how mummy and daddy made both of you"

While explaining this I made some action, of course they giggled and was amazed by the storylah....

On another note... for those who are concerned and eagered to know the updates... I was tested.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... negative through a self pregnancy test yesterday. Still no sign of menses, dizzyness has improved slightly, no sigh of nausea but still with a gigantic appetite throughout the day. :D

The king of pop - MJ is dead

I dropped Michelle to school today and on my way back I heard the song "Billie Jean" playing over the radio and I recollected the good old 80s day where my brother and I were so called "fans" of MJ, even my late mom knew him and was fond of him, songs and MTVs like "Beat It" and "Thriller" were so famous then.

While back home, I was searching a book over Amazon.com and on the top right of the website I saw this shocking news "Michael Jackson, 1959 - 2009.....". Can't believe my eyes, I googled it and read the news over the net, indeed MJ had passed away.

You see no one can actually escape death, human history revealed that no Emperor, Kings, Queens nor anybody is immortal. Life on earth is just a short journey and in the hands of the Almighty God, so while you and I are still alive on this earth today and God knows until when, let's live it to the fullness, to me a well lived life is a life lived under the perfect will of God.

Preggy?? Bigger house??

Have been having "symptoms" of preggy these few days... like getting dizzy spells, feeling uncomfortable in the morning, super good appetite the next hour and perfectly okay throughout the day... hmm or maybe suffering from mild anaemic, I was dignosed with low platate count last few months, I decided to boil a postnatal drink to boost my blood level (red dates, "kei chee" and "tong sam"), see if my menses come in a few days time, if not... it gives us more reason to search for a bigger house in which hubby is diligently working on now.

Landed property in Penang is selling at super high price and funny thing is, it's still selling like hot cakes, can't really understand Penangnite, really so many 1/2 millionaire and millionaire out there one meh? A 20*60/20*70/20*80 could easily range from RM500-700K depending on the condition (original vs renovated). It's pretty normal to spend RM500K just to buy the house frame and land, to top it up you still need to spend another RM100-150K to renovate the place into a moderate reasonable place to live in.

Haiz.... we prayed for God to provide, we merely human can only plan, outcome is in His hands.

Special gift...

Hubby bought this for me as our 10th wedding anniversary gift, a ring and a pair of pearl earrings from Lazo Diamond. It cost hubby a mini "bomb" ha ha ha, thank you dear and I love you. Initially we plan to buy a couple ring but after surveying through the choices, hubby decided a ring for me will do in which I glady submitted... since there's a promotion I got an additional pair of pearl earrings as well (ha ha one stone killing two birds) ke ke ke.

Baked Chicken - Celine's recipe

I tried Celine's recipe, you can find the recipe here

I improvised a bit as I can't find the actual ingredient used by Celine and the result is quite satisfying, the meat is tender and juicy (as stated by Celine) and the children say thumbs up, they commented it tasted like Kenny Rogers, ha ha ha.
The spice that I used (mixed herbs and chicken seasoning)

The marinated chicken

Tada.........

1Malaysia

With the newly appointed PM, we Malaysians were presented with a new concept entitled 1Malaysia. Much debate has been brought up and interested parties at large wanted to know in detail what really is in our PM’s mind.

It is communicated that the two main objectives of this concept are nation building and nation unity, which makes me to think is it our nation has not been growing or building in recent years and our nation has not been united after 50 more years of independence?

As a Malaysian I am concerned over the future of my homeland, after all this is the land that my next generation and many generations to come that will reside, live, work and spend most of the time in (if not entire life)….provided if our government is serious in delivering the results of nation building and unity.

It is also enforced that 1Malaysia supports the aspiration of our Vision2020 (just 11 years to come) of building a Bangsa Malaysia (a Malaysian nationality). I for one highly supported the idea of abolishing the columns of “Bangsa” and “Agama” in all forms filling whether in official or non-official related matters. If our government is serious in the two main agendas as communicated, it should review all current policies to support these two objectives by eliminating favoritism, bias, special privileges in all its establishment and implementations.

Well, that’s indeed a daunting task and hard-pressed road ahead for our new PM and his team to work on, in which all of these will be closely watched, monitored, measured, evaluated and criticized by average Malaysians at large. Well, to Malaysians out there, are you watching??
