Hello...

The grand parade waving their hands welcoming the parents and guests with
'Heal the World' song

Getting ready for the ceremony..look at her hands, I just noticed when uploading this pix. Actually she was wearing Indian costume with all the accessories during the opening parade. The teachers must have forgotten to remove it.

Sorry for the blurry pix..I must have been nervous and excited to take the best angle
for this moment tapi blur pulak

Together with her classmates..CONGRATULATIONS!

Did I said she was one of the fashion show models? ;-)

I wasn't going to abandoned my blog but the lazy 'bug' still sticking on me. How do I get it off? I'm not sure how but I guess it needs a little time to adjust myself and kick off those lazy 'bugs' out of me. :-p
I have few overdue stories to tell and pictures to share with but I'm just going to share that is worth to put up. To start at with was my second daughter graduation and mini concert ceremony. It was held on the 25th October 2009 at Putera Ballroom, Luyang. We were among many parents who came to witnessed the graduation ceremony and feeling so proud of our children receiving their certificates from the Kiddie World Montessori School Headmistress, Ms. Dora Duising. Apart from the graduation ceremony it was also the schools annual mini concert and this year the theme was 'Neverland'. Does that sound familiar to you? Yeah you're right...they danced and put up a short drama with most of my favourite songs by the late MJ's..an extra bonus for mummy :-p
We had a seven course round table lunch..well worth it as we paid RM35 per head. The children received balloons, goodies filled with sweets, chocolates and soft drinks. My little Isaac also received some goodies and that made his day lah...I should have taken his pix the moment he received the party pack he was laughing and jumping joyfully (macam budak tidak pernah receive party pack or something bah) hahaha..
There shall be another 'nervous' feeling by next year for me as Cynthia step into primary one. The same school as her sister is now. I was feeling pretty nervous when we sent Ruth to primary one earlier this year..I was scared of what if she's being bullied by the older children, what if she cries if she's in pain and the list goes on and on.
I'm sure my girls are far more better than their mum when I was at their age haha..Yeah poor dad, had to dragged his little girl to school :-p
Cynthia made us both so proud and happy, not too long ago...she was just a baby and with a blink of an eye, my baby has turn six and graduated from the kindergarten. Always remember how much you are loved Cynthia XOXO!

Dancing and stage performances on that day.. I like their costumes, it's so colourful :-)

Older children dancing on 'Black or White' song

Here and there..

Finally after almost a month without any updates, no excuses but just a simple reason..'malas' (being lazy). Oh well.. :-) I should start of with some pix taken recently and also a pix while on a working trip to Sandakan together with some of our colleagues. It was worthwhile trip even though my back and tummy pain made me so uncomfortable through out the two nights and three days over there.

We managed to organised Raya lunch with the media electronic on the 12th October for the first time in our office. Normally we will do a bigger scale together with the State CEO. Good responds, good food what else can I say ;-)

Singing the birthday song

Let's cut the cake together ;-)

Celebration is not over yet ..another one to go for this month..a celebration meant for daddy and mummy only lah.. ;-) But yesterday 24th September, my second daughter Cynthia celebrated her 6th birthday with a Ben 10 (Fire) Macadamia vanilla cake. She's been asking for the cake since early this year and yesterday her wish was fulfilled and the birthday girl was overexcited. Barely eat her lunch and dinner..a familiar sign if she is too excited.. Here are some pix taken last night, her grands, uncles and cousin Max came over for a simple dinner at home.

Thinking of cakes for Mother's Day?

My son's birthday cake - look at those tiny cute colourful fishes

Do you have a passion and patience on baking beautiful and delicious cakes, cupcakes and cake decos just like at Deana's? I've got to know Deana through other bloggers about a year ago..and I've ordered more than twice from her (birthday cakes and cuppies), this is not only because of the delicious cakes and cuppies she made but the decos are so amazingingly astonish. Her cakes and cuppies seems to be preventing you from touching and eating it which I almost did when I ordered for my son's birthday cake..it was too beautiful to cut it :-D At Deana's you will find her cakes aren't only delicious but demanding lots of skills to create a real masterpiece.

I believe Birthday's, weddings and any special celebrations, a delicious and beautiful cake is worth an extraordinary memory. So for those of you who will be celebrating Mother's Day this coming Sunday and have no idea what to give for your dear mother, perhaps Deana can help you bake your favourite cake a special homemade cake just for a great mum to say how much you care and loved her..

Chap Goh Mei

Watch out boys (Harry and Isaac) no poker games ya..hehehe

Dinner time..everyone looks busy ;-)

Big pot of soup..the 'most sought' dish that night :-)

Food..food..food...

Oh another angpow for Ruth from Grandma Maureen

Angpow to Harry from aunty Sharly

Isaac concentrating on something..can't remember what :-)

Chap Goh Mei represents the fifteenth and final day of the Lunar New Year period as celebrated by Chinese migrant communities. The term is from the Hokkien dialect and literally means the fifteenth day of the first month.

Last night we had our Chap Goh Mei family dinner at my aunt's place. The 15th day of the Chinese New Year celebration actually falls on today 09th February 2009 but due to the hectic Monday schedules, we fixed a day earlier to celebrate the occasion together with the whole family. It was really fun, giving away Angpows and mandarin oranges... everyone loves gathering especially with the families ;-) The food was all delicious some more a BIG pot of delicious soup...wah..lapar balik ingat ni tau... Anyway, looking at the food here makes me wanna sit and enjoy the food again hehehe.. Oh there was Lion Dance performance too :-D by my girls ( Ruth and Cynthia ). I couldn't take any pix of them, my camera out of batt.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year 2009!

I have no lists of new year resolution, I know it will only waste my time to list down everything in a piece of paper, and eventually will lost it somewhere hehehe... I've stored it all inside my head, so easier for me to retrieve it at any time I want it too. Good health is my priority, without it others may not come along. Good ties with families and friends, and oh am extremely happy too, coz I've made new friendship through blogging, met my ex-classmates of St. Michael 5Sc 1987 (will blog about this soonest I can) in the year of 2008. So I hope the good ties will continue in this new year.
Good things comes from Him, so we will continue to pray and praise for His Blessings for another year!

As the year about to end...

Christmas is still celebrated throughout this week until the Epiphany. And for those of you still having open house for friends and families, have a wonderful time. Every year we celebrate Christmas at mum's place. Christmas cake is a must and my friend Anies baked us a 2kg chocolate moist cake and guess what, we finished it in one day ;-) Thanks so much Anies. ( will post the pix soon)
This year 2008, life has been wonderful with the kids and husband. The kids are our inspiration to go on with life be it at good or bad times. But there were few incidents, heart wrenching and saddest moments we all went through this year. The parting of our late grand-aunt Rev. Sister Michael, my grandpa and grandma in Keningau. They were truly missed by all of us (friends, relatives, children,in-laws, grandchildren and great-grandchildren). Apart of this, there were few more things happened in our family circle which some of us couldn't understand whether it is for their own good or the other way round. For whatever the reasons or their reasons, I hoped it will not hurt the family ties which we all have worked hard on it even to this end. I appreciate and Thank God for all the good things come into our life, moments we shared with friends and families, as it all comes from HIM.
Before the year end, 2008 has been a memorable year for me. Thank you so much to my wonderful children (Ruth,Cynthia and Isaac) and loving hubby for being so understanding, I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!
I hope and pray that 2009 will bring many good things in life, and also YOU (friends/relatives).
Goodbye 2008

Greetings

To all families, friends, blogger buddies,

Have a Blessed Christmas and Happy New Year 2009!!

Carol & Kids

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to Mama!

Happy Birthday Mama, We love you so much!

She's 82 years old Grandmother and still going strong. Grandma was born on the 21 st November 1926 in Penampang. We never failed to celebrate her birthdays every year, together with her children, grandchildren and great-grand children (I really hope I can reach the age to live and see my great-grand children).
We celebrated her birthday at my aunts place last tuesday (2 Dec), thou belated due to some unforeseen matters but everyone was happy especially Grandma. I ordered her birthday cake Carrot Cheese Cake and wow it was lip smacking and suppa duppa delicious ;-) Thanks Anies *hugs*


But look at those pinky candles, it was all over the cake, her great-grand children arranged it for her *lol* It was fun with the kids even though 'bising' and 'chaos' at times.


To everyone, aunty Irene, uncle William, uncle Marcus & aunty Lily, Uncle John, Ivy, Uncle Patrick, Grandma Prisca, mum, my darling hubby ;-), my brother Aaron, my bro Maxwell and SIL Rozie, cousin Marcel and SIL Sharly, cousin Fanny, cousin Kenneth and wife, oh yes definitely the children; Ruth, Cynthia, Alyssa, Jeremiah, Isaac, Zachary, Natasha and 'lil' sister. But one face is missing here is, Debbie... we missed you again this year but it won't be long..looking forward to see you in March next year!


Finally to Grandma, May God Bless You Always and give you good health and we all looking forward for another birthday for you next year! May God Bless Us All...

I'm dreaming of a 'warmth' Christmas

Christmas mood is in town now..look at those beautiful ornaments, some still in the boxes waiting to be display for shoppers in Wisma Merdeka. I had my friday lunch with husband and our two girls today, we passed by few shops selling Christmas decos, and here is Ruth and Cynthia can' t get over these santa's hat from Watson. We didn't get any of those for them, as I told them we could still use the hats I bought last year. I'm still thinking of a theme and colours for this year Christmas home deco. Do you have any brilliant ideas? ;-) Can you help me with this? Last year was Blue and white theme. For my kids, Christmas time means fun, beautiful colours and baby Jesus was born, so every year I'll have to put extra effort to decorate the house, colour lights and most of all they really enjoy helping me decorate our 6 ft tall Christmas tree haha..yeah this year lil' Isaac will have his turn to put the top (star).

Our little Prince turned 2

Dear Isaac,

mummy, daddy and sister Ruth & Cynthia love you so much

more than words can express.

Happy Birthday and May God Bless Always darling!

Yesterday 16th September 2008, Isaac turned 2 years old. How time flies. Years passed, watching him grow, without realising he is a big boy now. We made a simple celebration at home to mark another important date in our family. Thanks so much Deana for making a beautiful cake for Isaac...look at the fishes, aren't they beautiful but...as what Deana texted me, 'jangan makan sudah' (as long as they don't eat it).
