Mother's Day

This coming Sunday (9th May 2010) will be a special day for all the mothers around the world and it's known as Mother's Day. Actually, what is so special about being a mother? If you don't have a clue, may be you should read this...

What Is a Mother?
A mother is someone to shelter and guide us,
To love us, whatever we do,
With a warm understanding and infinite patience,
And wonderful gentleness, too.

How often a mother means swift reassurance
In soothing our small, childish fears,
How tenderly mothers watch over their children
And treasure them all through the years!

The heart of a mother is full of forgiveness
For any mistake, big or small,
And generous always in helping her family
Whose needs she has placed above all.

A mother can utter a word of compassion
And make all our cares fall away,
She can brighten a home with the sound of her laughter
And make life delightful and gay.

A mother possesses incredible wisdom
And wonderful insight and skill -
In each human heart is that one special corner
Which only a mother can fill!

- Katherine Nelson Davis


I will celebrate Mother's Day in the hospital this year and to bring my second baby to this world on this special day. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers in this world!

My design

Lately I'm crazy with some Himegyaru design, example like the hair style, dresses, shoes, accesories (almost every thing I like about Himegyaru), etc... You may wonder what is Himegyaru all about, it is actually known as "Princess Girl", it's a hot trend in Japan that the girls dress up like a "Princess".

So now I'm actually trying to keep my hair long. Thanks to my hubby coz he likes me with long hair but I prefer short, but to please him, I promised him that I'll "try. But since now I'm crazy with this Himegyaru style, so at least I got some motivation to do so, hahahah..!!

After browsing the internet and saw some very nice design of shoes, I decided to make my own pair of Himegyaru shoes as well. I went to Vincci and bought a pair of plain white heels and turn it to a few designs as shown below. Nice...??

The waiting continues

Now, I'm almost 8 months 3 weeks pregnant. Feel very uncomfortable with the kickings and have to get up really many many times at night to pee. My top record was got up 5 times a night, so you can imagine almost every 1 to 2 hours I have to get up and go to toilet and this is really tiring, lucky I no longer working, or else don't think I can mentally or physically cope!

Since the due date is getting nearer, I have to really spend time brain wash my little princess that her "mei mei" will be coming out very soon and she as a "jie jie", have to take care, love and protect her little "mei mei". My little princess seems to be understand and promised that she will help me to take care of "mei mei" and to protect her, but not sure when the time comes, she can really do that without being jealous..??

Let's cross the fingers and pray hard.. : )

Lovely Wedding

Found this wedding advertisement very sweet and romantic. It makes me feels like want to retake my wedding photos. They are the famous Hong Kong actress - Myolie Wu and actor - Bosco Wong. Take a look, I'm sure you'll like it.

My niece - Yi Qian's Birthday

Second day of Chinese New Year is my niece's lunar birthday, so every year this time, my sister will invite all of us for dinner to celebrate her eldest daughter's birthday.

This year the dinner was held at Bei Zhan Restaurant Malacca. The dinner was indeed delicious but it costs a bomb too! One table costs more than RM700, plus a Baskin Robbin birthday cake, total already more than RM800!! If I were my sister, I would rather bank in the money into my girl's bank account. However, I still want to thank her for her generous invitation, hehehe... : )

After the dinner, all of them went to my house for the birthday cake cutting ceremony (children love this so much..) and of course to see how I decorated my new house.

Below are some family photos to share.

New Year - What A Day!!

1st of January is a new day of the year 2010. I planned to go shopping at IKEA, Kuala Lumpur together with my hubby, my eldest brother, my sister, her two kids and of course not forgetting my little one as Chinese New Year is coming and I need to buy some storage boxes to keep all my stuff.

Early in the morning at 8am, my sister already reached my place together with my brother and her daughters. After having breakfast, we happily departed at 9am. After 1.5 hours driving at the KL highway, our car broke down.

An indian stopped his car and came to us to offer help. He said only need to spend RM100 to RM200 and takes about 1. 5 to 2 hours for repairing the car, after that we can continue with our journey. Not to disappoint every one and thinking that another hour to go we will be reaching our destination ready, so we agreed with him and towed the car to his work shop.

After reaching the place, hubby waited there alone and all of us went to nearest coffee shop to have some tea. After about an hour, hubby called to say that the indians took out all the car parts and wanted to charge him RM500 just for that without fixing our car's problem. Knowing that we were being cheated, we quickly phoned up my father and let him talk to all these people. After negotiation, the indian agreed that we pay him at RM150.

My sister called her hubby who's staying and working in KL at 11.30am to fetch us and continue our trip but my poor hubby have to stand under the hot sun, waiting for the car to be towed back to Malacca.

My brother-in-law reached at 12.35pm and we followed his car. It took us about another 1.5 hours to reach the place from Seremban to IKEA. I gave a call to my hubby and he told me that the car tower just arrived not long ago. Pity him that he had to withstand with the heat without food and drinks as there's no extra bottle of water in the car and I also forgot to let him drink some water first before I left.

It was really a bad day and bad experience for all of us especially to my hubby as he needs to spend more than a thousand dollars to repair the car. And from that day onwards, don't think we are going to trust any one anymore if touch wood the car break down half way again.

What's happening lately...?

Wow! I've absent myself for almost 2 months. Even though I am a full time house wife now but life is still as busy as usual and further more I'm 5.5 months pregnant now, so aside from the house work and taking care of my girl, I spent most of my time sleeping.

Here are some updates from me for the past 2 months.

12 Nov to 16 Nov 09 - Hubby and I brought our little girl, together with his parents and eldest sister's family to Bangkok and Pattaya. It was never easy to bring our girl along but we did enjoy ourselves very much there.





20 Dec 09 - We celebrated my eldest sister-in-law's birthday at Portuguese Settlement and took the chance to have a look at their christmas decoration. My little girl was so excited to see the lightings, santa clause, decors and trees... The atmosphere was just really wonderful...





24 Dec 09 - Christmas Eve! We went out together with my hubby's friends to karaoke and dinner. I've not been to karaoke since my first pregnancy and this was also Joeynn's first time to a karaoke.

25 Dec 09 - It's Christmas Day! Every year this time, a neighbour from my mum-in-law's housing area will invite us to her house for Christmas Party. Joeynn got a bag of Hello Kitty marshmallows but too bad I don't allow my kid to eat any sweets or candies at her age right now. After that, we headed to Station One cafe with hubby's old time friend, sitting down there listening to songs, chit chatting and surfing the net. Poor Joeynn was quite boring coz she got nothing to do there...
