Pee-Ka-Booooooo~~~

I TOLD YOU I GET THINGS IN MY FOOD~~

Cactus that blooms...

It's pretty amazing to see a cactus bloom :)

I use to plant them and see beautiful flowers bloom..

and normally when tt happens, something good is happening.. ahaha

as it the cactus knows how I'm feeling..

it's really a beautiful thing..
God's creation is just so wonderful...

I wish I could turn back time..

If my mom would still be alive today.. I could go back to Sabah along with my two kids and spend more time with her.. since now I'm the home maker and my hubby is the one bringing the bread home..

But when she was very sick (3 years ago) ... I had to go and work to provide for my family while my hubby is still thinking through his business ventures.. futhermore I was pregnant with Alexander when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.. I had to do what I had to do for my family.. it was so heart breaking for me then..

Now that I'm a home maker.. I'm happy but still wished that I could be a home maker sooner for my mom's sake.. but then.. if I go home.. she may not receive Christ as her savior.. she may not rely on God then and be saved.. I know she loved me and trusted me becuase some how.. we are similar.. (I would say I'm more mature than my bro ahahahaha.. just careless sometimes :P but more matured definately..) my mom and I have the same wave length... ahehehe.. may be it's just being a women that bonds us together so closely..

I wished she was here with me right now.. I wished she could feel my joy.. (eventhough she may nag at me for not going to work and let my hubby handle the money.. LOL.. I need to learn to trust my hubby.. I need to learn to trust God..)

I will always remember my mom's love for me.. may Jesus bless her soul...

Tea time lar Alexander!!!

Just a simple meal for my son for tea time :P

short sweet and simple..

anyone else can do it ahehehehe..

Its just for fun.. ahahaha... in the end.. he only ate the meat and some bread..

My son's Fav Show..

Yup! you guessed it.. It's Barney!!

I use to like Barney and then hated it coz it's really unrealistic! Who on earth would be so polite? Other ppl dun say 'your welcome','please' or even "thank you" to strangers, worst to family and friends.. so when i was young, teen actually, I hated Barney..

Until now lar.. coz my son loves Barney and Hi-5 :P Barney is polite and full of imaginations (eventhough sometimes he is a bit annoying.. ) and most of all.. entertaining..

I hope my son will learn to be as polite as Barney eventhough the world is not..

This may be too gross for you...

This is all the skin and fat found in two whole chicken!!!!

What I normally do when I get home from a grocery shopping is to clean the meat and chop it down to serving size so i can get meals ready faster when I need them..

So, for chicken.. I will definitely chop off all the excess fat and skin so it's healthier for me and my family..

LOOK AT IT!!!!

That's a lot of skin and fat ya know..

I told you this could be too gross for you... but someone have to get rid of those fats and unhealthy chicken skin!

My nice slice of pork on my plate.. hhmmm... yummy...

For this post... I'll just let the picture do all the talking.. :D

Btw.. i added some banana in the sandwich.. IT'S GOOD!!! tasted real good!!!

My tea break in the afternoon :D

Another great thing to be able to be a stay at home mom is that we get to cook or prepare nice food for our family...

(even though I wish my hubby would like salad.. which sadly he doesn't.. haih...)

Just wanna share with you what I had for tea :D after a late sandwich brunch...

It's red and yellow pepper/capsicums, almond nuts, sesame seeds, veggies and black berries.. and a dash of apple vinegar... hmmm... yummy...

Such beautiful colour hor.. i love it when my dish looks great.. makes it more delicious.. :P

tadah~~~ got 2 slice of becan... ahehehee... it was soooo juicy... hmmm...

It's not going to fill your tummy until it explode.. but it will definately satisfy your hunger for good and healthy food :)

Anyone wanna be my guest? :D

Salad party anyone??

See!!!! Mutanted tomatoes ladies and gentlemen!!! Dun buy ah.. if buy also pls check properly..

Like an alien living inside the tomatoes!!! yuks!!!

Parents vs CPY

We had a group discussion the other day in our youth group.. and some commented that parents are always (if not most of the time) very judgemental.. They will 'pour cold water' (discourage) at young dreams, inspirations and desires.. They do not listen to reason and jumps to conclusions... They don't give affirmation when it matters the most and the list goes on and on..

.

I use to believe that too, but I only have a mother to rely on and wht ever she says was absolute! It was my all! It is the only truth I believed in! She is always right! She was my everything..

.

Did I ever rebel? slam the door.. hard? lie? disagree? talk back? shouted? etc to my mother.. shamefully... yes.. becuase I was young and inmature.. I didn't know how to control my temper.. I tried to be the best daughter for her but I always fall short.. I seem to always disappoint her and that she always gets angry or up set with me.. It seems so hard to meet her requirements.. why is it so hard to please her and why my brother doesn't have to do tt to gain her love and trust but I need to... I just dun understand..

.

BUT.. as I grew older.. I understood that my mother love me differently from my brother.. and not in an unfair way.. it's just different... she may be strict with me and demanded a lot from me.. but that made me a better person inside out.. Not that I'm a better person than my brother.. no, it's not tt.. I'm just a better person than I was before, and no matter what my mom had done for my brother, I believe.. he is also a better person than he was before.. and eventhough life may be unfair then (coz i do most of the hard work at home.), I think life is fair now :D (with all the joy in my heart!)

.

So young ppl, don't be discouraged if our parents disagree with us.. Don't be sad if they disappoint us.. Don't be angry if they step on our toes.. Don't be.. No matter what.. they are family; respect them as they deserved to be respected; honor them for they have sacrificed for us all; love them for they have loved us with what ever means they know how..

Wht if we have a Rose tree?

Wht if we have a rose tree? A big one! we will probably be seeing wht Thumbelina sees..

A different world..

Have you ever look at a tree in awe before?

May be we should slow down for a while and look at a tree (or trees)..

...enjoy God's creation and marvelled at His glory..

Our mid autumn fest dinner ;D (last month)

This is our feast!!! Only had Han Then over coz she doesn't have family to celebrate with her..

New stuff i just got.... FOR FREE!!!!! =D

I got this for free from buying something for my hubby :D where? dun wanna tell you coz later my hubby will know wht i got for him for Christmas!!!.. ahahaha I know right, so early meh... yes lor.. I'm the kind tt do things early.. sometime too fast.. :P

This Powder form foundation is really nice and smooth... Gonna put it into action soon.. wahahahaha.... and you know wht is the retail price for this? RM 89!!!! expensive ler.. and I got it for free!!! yippie!!! muahahahaha...

I thank God for all the things I have.. and things tt I get for free!!! wheeee~~~~ ;)

Introducing veggies to my son..

How do you encourage young children to like veggies when it taste so disgusting to them? :P by blending it in with the food that they like to eat :D ahehehehe.. smart ler.. wahahahaha..

I wouldn't say that I've succeeded..but at the theory is workable :P and my son does eat some veggie in the process.. the key is to NOT GIVE UP! Keep putting the veggies in and be consistent in encouraging them to eat it up..

My son of course know tt the veggies got this weird taste and it's not as nice.. but slowly but surely, he will learn to appreciate it.. I'm positive!! I just need to keep at it!!! My goal is to teach my son healthy eating.. (as much as we can lar.. coz we sometimes have unhealthy food also geh.. wht to do.. living in this modern world of fast food.. not easy to rid of it geh...)

As for toilet training him :) i'm doing it on and off... but i think i really need to be focus on it... when i'm not cooking anything lar.. may be :P coz cooking take a while to prepare... ahahaha..

.

I hope my post will encourage all moms to feed their kids healthy food as much as possible.. You'll enjoy preparing the food for them... but dun be too disappointed when they dun finish or dun eat it.. it will take some time.. :) just keep at it!!! yea!!!

Yumm yummm.. See.. he is enjoying his food.. and he actually finish them all!!!! Hurray!!!

why I should stay home and take good care of her and her brother..

Melissa, your smile n laughter made mommy's day.. I love you~~

It takes pain to produce greatness by Seth

Does God trust you? Do you handle his flawed servants with grace or are you judgmental? Are you trustworthy?

.

Unless you've experienced great pain, I honestly don't know if the Lord can trust you. When you've gone through a time of pain, it humbles you. You recognize how much you need God and how precarious life can be.

.

It's tempting to be impressed with people whose gifts are great, but the ones I really admire are humble, the ones who have struggled with pain and emerged grace-filled. They understand their own frailty. They have time for "little people." Their humanity is inviting.

.

Nathan Salley is a racer who God has trusted with pain - this most precious and least prized of gifts. And you can see the humility of spirit it has produced in him. In contrast, so many young people, not knowing pain, struggle with a numbness of spirit. Hear him share his story:

.

I have been complaining for many years of my life that I don't hear from the Lord and I feel like its almost a joke right now for Him to pour out every possible way that I hear all at once in the last week to overwhelm my senses. I am not tired physically, but emotionally overwhelmed. I sat in on 7 different team debriefs, with 7 new teams. I swear I teared up in almost every single one because they could have not come together in any better way than how the Lord planned it.

.

I talked to my mom earlier in the day on Skype. I told her all the things the Lord had been revealing to our squad. The encounters and visions the team was having. She reminded me of the one and only vision I had when I was eleven.

.

This isn't a story I tell often.

.

It was my second night in the hospital after being diagnosed with AML leukemia. They needed to do a spinal tap on me to check my bone marrow to see how far I had progressed. In 1997, Children's Hospital was not accustomed to giving kids pain meds during spinal tap procedures. All that was used was some emla cream to numb the skin. The pain was pretty bad, but mostly scary being only eleven years old and not knowing fully what the next years of my life would look like. I remember crying out and yelling in pain. Then I remember my mom whispering in my ear to call out to Jesus and he will hear me.

.

This was the first time I really learned what suffering meant and where God was in pain. See sometimes we are so concentrated on our pain that we forget Jesus is in the room suffering along with us.

.

I remember closing my eyes and seeing what I believed to be an angel or a figure of Jesus. It could have been my imagination,and I could have rationalized it away. But I chose to see Jesus in that moment. I don't remember the pain subsiding, but I do remember feeling comforted that Jesus was in the room with me.

.

If you've had to go through pain that you thought would never end or couldn't make sense of, consider Nathan's example. Now, he's a leader on the World Race and a source of encouragement and joy for his teammates. Maybe your own story feels no less horrific. You may feel overwhelmed by its intensity and you may be waiting to understand it redemptive purpose. I hope you'll be encouraged by this principle and this verse:

.

"God is educating you; that's why you must never drop out. He's treating you as dear children. This trouble you're in isn't punishment; it's training,the normal experience of children." (Heb 12:7-8)
