Wow! Thank God for giving me another life to cherish every moment of His creation again. Like the yesteryers, it always come with new resolution and new changes. At some point of time, one wouldn't realize that the numbers taking over the life..I can say that "aging" really matters to some people but to me I don't mind at all. I want to enjoy every moment and every second of it. At this stage let it be something that is not exist at all.

What I want to do now is I want to see the kids enjoy their 'young' moment and let them feel the fun of being a kid. Let them be an adventurer in their own way. And as for me I will do what I want and love to do...a mother and a wife. ;) I guess I will be happy with that.

2012...I pray that this year will be another good year to be explored. God's will, there will be much fun and fun..

And to start with... I bought few books to bring back the hobby that I've 'forgotten' quite sometime ago..hehehe... I love classsic romance books. This author was suggested by a friend whose interest is the same as mine...harap-harap bagus lah ceritanya..YES!

2011-12-14T22:36:00.000-08:00

Feel so happy to that I have added few friends to my blog. So good to have lots of friend that can shared many things with...what more to say if they are mothers and wives like me...ideas, jokes and everything are being shared together...I can say that 'everything' around the corner..

Life is not bad after all. And I really pity those having depression. Just come out from the shell and break the silence.

Life is about love.
Life is about sharing.
Life is about caring.
Enjoy while we can.
Time wait for no man.

Cheers!

Another Year..

2011-11-04T19:36:00.000-07:00

Back again...

Here I am.
It is so hard to start writing now...searching for ideas, and it really cracking the head. What to write and where to start. Fuhh...But once the fingers start punching the small buttons on the board, ideas flows like there is nothing can stop it. I wonder how the authors got the ideas to write so much. They are blessed and gifted with talent..writing of course. Once, I ever thought of being a writer but the dream vanished away..hehehe...don't know why. Perhaps there are many other things come along the way and really divert the mind and focus. Anyway, I salute the writers somehow, because of their endless effort, I or we can have books and stories to read. Thank you writers!

And now, back to real me...after so many months, I leave this electronic page of pad and yeah...I was missing for quite sometimes...Job and commitment really matters nowadays. They seem taking half of my life apart but I am happy. Am I complaining now? *shaking the head*...hahaha...Kids growing up, age catching up..and the pace seem slowing down for me but development around me doesn't.. I can say that Miri is really on its move to become a city. With the so-called development, the road is always jammed with hundreds of vehicle running on it. And it becomes a 'hush hush' for a everyone now. Well, can't say much though, but that is what we call development.

Another 50 more days to complete the year of 2011. Wow! Thanking God for His blessing upon me and my family. Till now with His grace and blessing we are still having a great time to breathe the air and having fun with His wonderful creation. I believe that everyone on earth does the same too. Thank you Lord!

My 3 Musketeers;
1st Musketeer - He is 12 now. And will be leaving primary school soon and to claim the stairs of high school. I can see the time flies and after so many years, he is doing well with his commitment.
2nd Musketeer - He is 8 now. This one, he is trying to fit in though most of the time he missed the boat. But, with more effort I believe he will be better.
3rd Musketeer - The most aggressive one. Will be 7 next year. And will join the rest as well. Leaving kindy very soon. For his last moment with the kindy, the school prepared few event for them to participate. And he seem really enjoy the moment. The concert, special visit to the mini zoo, having fun at the Taman Awam, visit to Bomba, and very soon the camping. Thanking the school and the teachers very much for their effort.

Last but not least, ME. Nothing much to say but I can say that I am happy for being ME. ;) And as per my other half, I guess he is ding fine too. ;) Nothing much to complain. Adios!

Been a while...

2009-03-10T07:59:00.000-07:00

Been a while I didn't update this blog. Commitment of life really taking over the place. Added to that also, my computer seem having problem lately. I know it is high time to change it but I guess it is still okay so far. Work? Well, so far so good though sometimes it really give me headache to think about what to do next.

The kids, life is very challenging for them now. School, extra classes, tuition, homeworks and curriculum activities. I can see it when the eldest boy started to complain about finishing his homeworks. The school starts at 7.00 am till 1.00 pm, followed by extra class from 1.30pm to 3.30pm. Tuition starts at 7pm to 9pm. Wow! when he is back home, trying very best to finish his homework. I really pity him but he said he don't mind at all. I think he used to the situation I bet. I really don't want to stress him out. I did asked him if he can cope up with the situation, and maybe we can adjust something out. He said he is ok and the topic closed! At this time I can see the changes in life when the kids started to do their own things. Well, they are growing up, what else can I say... :)

Belated Valentine's Day

2009-02-15T19:52:00.000-08:00

2009-02-06T23:49:00.001-08:00

At last the time for relaxing is here. I really want to have a good rest but seem that it is impossible for a mother like me. It's a job 24/7 with no rest.

While in the midst of cleaning the house, my 2nd musketeer saw the lion head (for the lion dance) and he wanted to play with it.

Ready for the performance..

in action..

the boy behind it.. handsome boy isn't he?

The big man teaches the musketeers how to play with the cards

Paying attention...

CNY get-together

2009-02-06T23:35:00.000-08:00

Was informed by the school that there will be a CNY party at the school and the students were encourage to bring their own 'party pack'. I have no idea wht to prepare for the two musketeers. I asked them any particular food that they want to bring. Both of them says "NUGGET". So, after dinner I rushed to the supermarket nearby to look for nuggets.

At 5am in the morning I woke up just to prepare their nuggets. Here it is.

still frying

Ready to go...

Opppsss... I forgot to take the picture of them in the class because I dont have enough time to stay even for 10 mins. We were late actually...gosh! the traffic jam is getting worst everyday!

lunch..

2009-02-03T22:27:00.001-08:00

Haven't decide what to do during this lunch hour. Had my brunch at 10am and I dont feel like to eat. Normally I have TO-DO list during lunch hour but today, I'm just free. Will think about something to do...

pissed off

2009-02-03T06:18:00.000-08:00

Really pissed off because of the traffic jam this morning. Was late to work about an hour. Same with my other 2 musketeers, late for their school. Out from the house at 7am and was stucked in the traffic jam for 1 hour. Don't really know the cause actually. Plus the wet weather too... just imagine the situation there...hundred of vehicles stucked on the road this morning. And it really caused impatient feeling among the road users of which I can see in their face. Aduhhhh.... :(

And my youngest musketeer started taking pictures by using my camera phone... hahaha... He said, "Mummy, there's a lot of car today!"

Accidentally snap his own face! :)

Later in the afternoon, heavy downpour. I'm on my way to pick the eldest musketter.

dinner

2009-02-03T00:45:00.000-08:00

prepared a very simple dish for dinner last nite...

soy bean sprout

grilled turkey

capsicums n chicken soup with Shitake mushroom

yummy....

relaxing...

2009-02-01T22:50:00.000-08:00

Weekend was so boring... It was raining for 24 hours. Didn't do anything at all. But I finished my book. Soon later relaxed with the kids...Thinking of doing something else but nah... after giving myself a second thought I need a rest...

Jeluing having his afternoon nap

Litang and Agan watching their fav movie

At 5pm I went out for some groceries.... at least i did something anyway..hahaha

Tupperware

2009-01-29T07:28:00.000-08:00

I would like to share one of my hidden hobby... collecting TUPPERWARE products. I have lots and lots of them in the house especially in the kitchen. Though I know the price is a bit costly but I love Tupperware. Been using it for the past 8 years. Why I love this product? Well, they are air tight, liquid tight and comes in many sizes and the colours are very attractive too. And also this products has lifetime warranty too. I can use them in the fridge, freezer even microwave as well (you have to use the correct one for microwave ok, not all are microwavable). And I do have the collections of pots and plates (Hanooke) too. Wanna see them? :)

books...Judith McNaught

2009-01-28T19:35:00.000-08:00

I'm reading this book now (Whitney My Love)... actually i'm in the process of collecting Judith McNaught's. Ehmm..quite interesting. Classic romance. Have few of her books already. Normally I will start enter my own world after 10pm in the evening. That's the only time I will be alone at home. Well, being a mother is not that easy, I guess everyone knows that very well.
till then, will update you all on the story after i finish reading it.

salam sejahtera!

work again..

2009-01-28T00:35:00.000-08:00

work again... haha...after the long weekend (the Chinese New Year off), I come back to work again...ceh..how I wish I can enjoy my morning lying in the bed and snuggle under the sheet. nice..especially in this kind of weather, raining and cool.. Anyway, I enjoy my life at work.

adios!

Happy Chinese New Year

2009-01-25T16:51:00.000-08:00

It is OX year. It is very unique that the Chinese have chosen the animals as to 'iconic' the lunar year. I've read few of this articles on this Chinese lunar year all about. The good thing about it here is that it is celebrated by all especially in Malaysia. It becomes a big day in Malaysia too (we have the off days too tho' we are not Chinese).

As for me, mostly my Chinese friends were not around (going back to their hometown or flee to other places for vacations). So, I dont have the chance to visit them to get Mandarin oranges! though I know it well that i cannot have angpow (married already mah) haha... Looks like that I just stay at home and do my own stuff.

Anyway, to all my Chinese friends out there, happy new year to all of you.

Gong Xi Fatt Chai!

My Bestday!

2009-01-21T18:48:00.000-08:00

Wow! It's my bestday today, 22nd January. First of all, I would like to thank God for such blessing that He gave me; that is a new breath everyday I take to live. Until now I still manage to live and cheer up with the world. To feel the sunshine and the air on my face!

Getting old by age but always young at heart. Haha.. well, it is just numbers anyway. The older the wiser! I hope so...

35 years old! Well, lots and lots of things that I've learned through those years. Good or bad, those memories and experiences made me feel great. How I wish I can go back to my teenage years. Those years are the most challenging and fun part of one's life I believe. And thank God that everything was under controlled and I managed myself through it. For the past 10 years, I've shared my life with my 'chosen' family. The reason I said 'chosen' family is that actually we have 2 family in the life. The first one is the 'biological' or we live with since we were born and the second one is that the one we choose. I guess i've say it right here. :) Doesn't matter either you happy with it or not after certain period of time but you have to live with it.

Well, I pray that I still can have the chance to live for 100 years! Haha...

psst..psst..wanna know what i've got for my bestday? ;)

Boring...

2009-01-19T17:52:00.000-08:00

It has been raining almost everyday for the past three weeks. Well, the wet weather seem last longer than yesteryears. I wonder why the changes.... is it because of the global warming or something is happening to the universe. Only God knows! No matter what, one should be prepared for anything.

Well, am writing this blog while am in the office. It seem that I don't have anything to do at the moment. My team member go for the workshop of which I am not involve at all and I feel so lonely here with no one to talk to. Mostly I am the one who normally fills the air with jokes and laughters. Haha...

I guess I need to do something which is more appropriate at the moment. Need to check my Facebook! Who knows I might bump up with my long lost friends. ;)

Happy New Year 2009

2008-12-31T21:11:00.000-08:00

Today is January 1st, 2009, Eastern Time. Another 12 months, 52 weeks and 365 days to be experienced again. The unpredictable tomorrows. Well, no matter what, everyone have to face it anyway. Despite all the global issues; recession, wars, nature disasters, everyone is hoping and praying so that these thing will end one day.

I don't have any plan for today. I saw an advertisment over the media, it says "Do Nothing Day" for today. Haha.. I guess, I will do the same too. Just do my R&R at home. I woke up at 10.00 am this morning after the long night last nite while waiting for the countdown. The little ones were asking if there is any plan to go out today such as picnic or relax at the beach... Maybe I will consider that for this afternoon plan. Hahaha... I remember one thing that I need to do, reading... Been a while I didn't read after the long and tiring weeks before Christmas. I hope I have done my task with great pleasure... the housekeeping... When the little ones woke up this morning, they went straight looking for their Christmas gifts, that's their remote control cars, the puzzles...they were lying all over the house, I sighed...... :( Let it be... Remember today is DO NOTHING DAY!

Resolution for 2009! Well, I have few, at least 3 in my mind right now. Do I need to share it here? Never mind, I'll keep it to myself. I hope and I pray so much so that I can achieve it. God's willing, I want to go to my dreamland! Where? That's my secret. Hahaha...

A prayer for the New Year:

O God, the beginning and the end of all things,
Who art always the same, and Whose years fail not, we now, at the close of another year, kneel in adoration before Thee, and offer Thee our deepest thanks for the fatherly care with which Thou has watched over us during the past, for the many times Thou hast protected us from evils of soul and body, and for the numberless blessings, both temporal and spiritual, which Thou hast showered upon us.
May it please Thee to accept the homage of our grateful hearts which we offer Thee in union with the infinite thanksgiving of Thy divine Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, Who with Thee liveth and reigneth forever and ever.
Amen.

Happy New Year all!

I feel nice

2008-12-16T21:39:00.000-08:00

hahaha... Today i feel great. Maybe because I'm wearing pink top or maybe the feelings is great..I don't know. It's just that I feel comfortable and nice. Christmas is a week away and I haven’t done a thing to get ready. I can't wait to celebrate it. The reason is that it is the time when the family comes together and the house is full of laughter. More gossips, tips and stories being shared among the relatives. And it is the time when you have to full your stomach with foods.

Home sweet home. Time for me to clean and do serious housekeeping too! Taking my break starting 22nd Dec 08 till 7th Jan 09. Wow! Two weeks break... I hope this time I can really enjoy the break. I have tens of thing to be done for this coming break. Hahaha...

At this time now, my children were away. Spending their holiday breaks in Hong Kong. Rang them every night ever since they reached Hong Kong on Monday night. As told, they really enjoyed the fun in Disneyland. I bet, soon as they reach home here in Miri, they will have thousand of stories to be shared.

Appreciate every moment of life..

2008-11-19T21:17:00.000-08:00

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be but you lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way. And sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would never realize your potential, strength, will power or heart.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test limits of your soul. Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to no where safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet affect your life. The successes and downfalls that you experience can create whom you are, and the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact they are probably the most poignant and important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them because they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart.

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but also because they are teaching you to love and open your heart and eyes to little things. Make every day count. Appreciate everything that you possibly can, for you may never experience it again.

Talk to people whom you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to.

Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you. Create you own life and then go out and live it.

Song

2008-11-17T21:06:00.000-08:00

I really love this song. Was given by a cousin during my sister's wedding sometime in October.
So nice..

Kita Satu

chore 1
Kaulah satu tulang dari tulangku
yang kuimpikan selama hidupku
Untuk bersanding denganmu,
penuh rasa lewati suatu masa
berdua kita jalin bersama
satu ikatan cinta indah terasa
lewat kasih mulia Dia yg kuasa

chorus
Kini kita satu dalam menempuh hidup baru
hatiku hatimu penuh kasih bermadu
kini kita satu dalam meraih indah cinta itu
dan selamanya kita satu

back to Chore 1

Yang telah disatukan takkan dipisahkan
kau dan aku akan berdua selamanya...

Changes

2008-11-15T17:46:00.000-08:00

After giving a few thought of how I am going to share or display all the things here, I think it is better to segregate the items by ethnicity or race or maybe place. But your comments and ideas are pretty much welcome to give more colour and of course fun. I think I will start from Orang Ulu (Kelabit, Kenyah, Kayan, Penan and etc) since these Orang Ulus share mostly the same culture and arts. Maybe different in the way of design and colours. Followed by other ethnic or race such as Iban, Bidayuh, Melanau and etc. I will redesign my blog here...Please bear with me..okay...Have fun!

Exquisite collections

2008-11-07T21:43:00.000-08:00

Aha...look at what i've collected. Below are some of the traditional collections from the Orang Ulu ethnic of Sarawak. Enjoy the photos... ;) More updates to come...

2008-11-07T20:21:00.000-08:00

Wanna share few of my collections. Below are amongst those that i've collected for the past 10 years. I know some of it are too common for your eyes but I appreciate the sentimental value more. It brings back the memories. Will update this thread from time to time. Enjoy it...

Tiring moment

2008-08-24T21:28:00.000-07:00

I'm not too sure what i am gonna write but the urge is there to do so. Been so busy for the past 2 months and i feel that my body is breaking apart. It was a very tiring task to run and set-up new office. But I enjoy the excitement. Hahaha...well, the fun is there so, I guess there is nothing to complaint about anyway.

Many things happened lately, hike up in fuel, local politics and so on, but one have to take it with open head and i guess things should change sometimes so that those who have been in bed for quite long time should awake. Can't be static at all! Life still have to move on...

Another Era...

2008-03-27T18:06:00.000-07:00

I just dunno if life is fair. So far, nothing is fair anyway. Its a norm i guess so..
ehmm...sometimes we need to sacrifice to make others happy, but how about you yourself...?? another unfair matter again..gosh..life is so demanding.. I think that is the journey all humans have to take.

Changing a lifestyle doesn't really make you a good person or something. Maybe it will lead to another era of life...who knows..

TIRING DAY!

2007-07-11T00:11:00.000-07:00

I'm back! Haven't got time to update few things here... let me think..

Wow! This is what i call exhausted. I feel that I almost break my legs. Been standing since this morning. What a job I've done today. I need a massage. How I wish there's a spa nearby or something that can give me a relieve for about an hour or two. ;)

Mashed potato

2007-05-08T21:20:00.000-07:00
