PAA: Party After Ages...

It has been a long long while since me and my gang (a.k.a old collegemates & current housemates) hang out at night. The night was fun, some of us went madly dancing, some behaving weirdly and someone was sleeping (anti-social theng!)

Shen Liang

Dad and I bought supper and we visited sis Siew Siew, bro Choo and Shen Liang- my 'kai nephew' last Saturday. It was a great night as we had hours of chatting and sharing about 'those days'...

The Before & After of Ginger

Hey people, check out the before and after of Ginger...Dad sent her for her usual 2 months once + expensive (more expensive than you and my hair cut ok) grooming this morning. She looks more like a poodle now huh!~

Faith

Since i am on a week break, ive been thinking alot lately about my family, work, Ken and people around me, i am grateful actually coz things been great and fantastic in life. Having said that, it doesn't mean that things are forever good and i believe many of us understand this theory, as there are indeed many 'down' moments in life. But generally all those down moments shaped us who we are today and who we will be in the future. Again, i am glad and thankful coz i think these are all blessings from God...
Things and people that you always think are impossible to change may not be true, and i have such a strong faith that 'ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE' through strengths given and your faith. Die-hard characters can also be changed if you have the faith in that, im one good example i suppose, ask my family and they would be able to tell you that i have changed, or rather this is part of the growing process in life. But as for myself, i choose to believe that these changes in me, in things and people around me are gifts and blessings from above. Indeed with faith, all things are possible, and we will be surprice when miracle happens.
People get tired in running the race in life at times, and i get tired easily. Since i feel so lifely and motivated today, so is better that i share my thoughts down and hopefully this will be an encouragement for myself in future. =)

Rambutan

Me and dad got up early in the morning for our journey back to Sg. Petani today, thought of paying grandmamas, uncles and aunts a visit before i start my new job, and perhaps i will not be back until year end or chinese new year 2008. It was a good time with dad and we spent 4 hours of sharings in the car together.

Look at the Rambutan, we bought them in Sg. Petani, and have a look at my nice work at the picture on the right, i find that much easier to eat in that way, and its certainly more delicious when it is being served cold and fresh from the fridge.

Thanks

I am back in Ipoh today, finally will be having a short break before my new job starts…As I was chatting with dad on our way back from dinner, sharing with him my work and farewell, I started to reflect upon my life these past few years, I am thankful truly to God for always being there and guiding me thru all these years. Things in life have always been wonderful and great…I suppose dad is so right, I need to be thankful to God and not taking the credit to myself, thanks dad for reminding me on that…

Farewell...

Yesterday was my last day at RHB Bank; and I concluded some sort of mixed emotions in me: I am sad to leave a bunch of nice colleagues and good bosses, my heart moved when everyone begin to send me wishes and farewell notes. And on the other hand, i am also excited about the new chapter in my life - my new job. Life oh life...people come and go all the time...

Though I am sad to leave, yet thanks to a group of happening and fun colleagues or rather friends for having a very memorable farewell for me, i will remember each and everyone of your blessings and wishes to me, terima kasih! I am truly truly touched! and i am also glad that people actually enjoy my presence around =)

Dad and Ginger

Dad & Ginger, the perfect match. Before Ginger came into our family, frankly speaking, the dad that i know has never like pets in his entire life, and coming from a dog lover's point of view, i can almost concluded that he hates pets. But however, i suppose things has change a lot ever since Ginger came into our family. Dad behaves differently, from no touching, to hugging, cuddling, and even sharing the same bed, opps...Somehow there is a special chemistry between the 2 of them, Ginger listens to dad more and she seems to stays really good girl and still whenever she is with dad.

Check out the pic where Ginger is hiding behind dad's legs. She is just so adorable, isn't she?

Who is Ginger?

Ginger is our precious princess, her full name is Ginger Tan a.k.a Ah Giong (if you know what it means by ginger in Cantonese/Hokkien), she is always excited and hyperactive whenever there are guests around, but her excitement and activeness will only last for around 1o-20mins (that's usually how a poodle behave). She is one cute dog that waits for dad at the front door everyday around 6-7pm and waits for mom at the back door while she does her gardening daily...

She is an intelligent poodle that knows how to 'sit', 'left hand', 'right hand', 'down' and etc. She will be extremely smart -sit still and wait for you or put her hand out before you command anything when you have food in your hand. Wahhahhaa, that's one typical dog huh!

A new family member on board

Today is the day to celebrate the joy of having a new member in our family: my nephew! I am sure mom and dad are really happy about being grandpa and grandma for the first time. Congratulation dad and mom! you both has successfully been promoted to the grandparent's status. And congratulation to myself too for being promoted the 'Aunt' status, sounds old but i am more than glad to be called by my dear nephew. Spread the news around people, this is indeed great joy and wonderful gift from God...

We all love you mini SW (call him mini SW for the time being, my bro in law is SW Lee by the way). Muaks!

My love, my blessings and my prayers will always be with you...

My Nephew!

Welcome to the world! i often say these words to people that complain about today's world, especially the cruel and real part about It. But today i sincerely say this to my newphew...'Welcome to the world my dear nephew' ...am indeed glad that he is finally here but too bad he is so far away from me and can only see him maybe year end... Well, for those that may not know, my sis and bro in law stays in Melbourne, really miss them a lot man, wanting so much to fly there now to visit them and my little nephew.

See below my nephew's details:

• Name: My Nephew Lee / Mini SW Lee
  
• Age: 1 day old
• Gender: Male
  
• Weight: 2.72kg
  
• Look-a-like: so far can only comment that his little mouth really look like sis's...
  

Before this, i was given a mission long long ago: that is to look for a nice English name for my nephew, which i did and i was so proud and happy about the name Darrel, but according to my sis, Darrel Lee is a chocolate's brand over there in Melbourne, so i suppose this name is kinda out then. Well...well...well...I am still hunting for a nice name for my nephew.
What do you think about the names below? Comments are more than welcome:

• Dennis
• Edmund
• Brandon
• Bryan
• Christopher
• Craig
• Derek
• Dylan
• Dathan

Sis, pick one from here then will share the meaning with you.

Love you my dear nephew, i will be the best aunt on Earth! Hugs!

My first blog

It has been a long while since sis and many friends always share their blog URL with me, asking me to read this and view that on their blogs. I first thought that these people are really funny and so hardworking up loading things on their blog, and i just can't understand why...but i think now i kinda understands them better as a just started my first blog! In fact i find blogging fun, except i still find a little 'stone' designing my own blog. This is just such an interesting activity and channel to share my daily happenings with all my friends, and i certainly hope i will not bore whoever that read my blog

Thanks sis for sharing the joy of blogging with me! I think I am enjoying it...

My first Cookies

Today is my first time trying out baking cookies, simply because i think its easy and worth trying it out since Ken loves chocolate chips cookies. To be honest, i did one last night and it didn't went too well. I did all the mixing part and just turned to the right temperature and time, left them in the oven just like that. And by the time i went and check on them, it was already too late, they turned black! haha! they are all burnt.

So i decided to try again this afternoon, it was alright, some burnt and most are considered successful. At least Ken and my housemate theng theng said its nice...so i suppose today's cookies' mission accomplished.
