Christmas is All Around

My boy is so exciting that Christmas is coming soon. Christmas to him is a time to receive many presents. And for me, is the time to spend money for buying presents.. but I'm happy doing it.. ^.^

Travel to the Past

My son asking me to play a ball.. After playing for awhile, I told him that I am very tired because I am too old to run around cacthing the ball. And he replied to me, "I wish you were only 20 when you gave birth to me, so you are still young enough to play a ball with me!"

So, when my friend, Mary, hosting a challenge in SBF call "Extraction Fun", I got the idea to play with the photo of my son that was taken in 2006, extracted him and put it into my photo that was taken much earlier (in 1992, or 12 years before my son's born). And I call it "Travel to the Past"

How I wish in reality we could travel to the past, to avoid the unhappiness and enjoy again the things that we can only call it sweet memory!

Missing You on Your Birthday

This photo was taken 10 years ago when I was still in Jakarta. It's one of my precious collections since I only have very few photos of Dad and me. My Dad would be 69 years old today if he still alive. I miss you so much, Dad!

Delicious Autumn

I was looking for a quote about autumn to put in my scrap page. I ended up with reading sooooo many of them. Even there is no autumn here, only by reading about it, can 'bring' me to another part of the world.. where the leaves turn red and gold, falling from the trees.. just like George Cooper's write in his "October Party"

October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came -
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.

And I'm so in love with Autumn..

Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking successive autumns. ~ George Eliot ~

Breath of Autumn

This past few weeks I was so worry about my high blood pressure. I was so sure that I am a healthy person and took my health for granted until my doctor said my blood pressure is high!

I changed my life style.. No more sleep at late midnight or past midnight; and always wake up in the morning to do the exercise. I have to reduce my time for TV and computer. It's really hard especially reducing time for scrapping. But I am trying!

Kit by Emka Designs: The Scent of Coffee.

I was so relieved that what I have done bring a good result! My blood pressure is drop and I find myself fresher and healthier.
So.. I am in the mood to scrap myself and to give myself some encouragements for doing better things in life..

Impression of CHANGE

Sometime I feel that my boy is still a baby.. Can't believe that he is growing up so fast and now is a smart little boy that often surprised me with his thinking..
Just like when he was one day come to me and ask
B: "Mom, which country has 4 seasons? (because we are staying in Singapore and we don't have spring, summer, winter and autumn).. I really wants to play with snow, but can't go to the countries which are far away from Singapore because the air ticket is expensive."
M: (laugh and also surprised that a 5 years old boy can understand about that).. "Likely the nearest place that has snow and also not so expensive to go is China.."
B: (With full of enthusiasm)... "China? Wow.. I really want to go to China.. People there are very busy and they are working hard"
M: Why did you said so?
B: I read 'made in China' label in almost all of my toys, stationery, shirts and other things! So they must be very busy to make all of those things!
M: (got another surprised and just can laugh..)
Don't you think he is a smart boy??

So, when I got a kit "Impressions Of Change - collab SBG" (available at Scrapbookgraphics) from Emka Designs, I really want to scrap my boy.. a cute baby boy who turns to a smart little boy

The Scent of Coffee

Do you love coffee? No matter what is the answer, I believe most of the scrapbooker will love 'the scent of coffee' kit. Copying the designer's words, it is a kit in colours such as warm brown, beige, cream and cheerful orange; The diversity of elements allows you to make a souvenir from the past, from meeting a friend or family. Delicate, paper butterflies give lightness, dried roses bring back memories and an old paper will immortalise unforgettable moments. When you sit to create your own work, you will smell the real coffee; It's a moment for you - and your memories.

This kit now available at Scrapbookgraphics: http://shop.scrapbookgraphics.com/product.php?productid=25326&cat=0&page=1

Here are my layouts using 'the scent of coffee kit':

And.. what a good life to have a cup of coffee and get a hug from my darling son:

Quote from Prince Brian D.Fok

I was making a scrap page for the prince's challenge in SBF, when my son came to see me. He saw me putting a crown and prince's outfit on his photo. He also saw many scrap pages of prince and princess. Suddenly he told me, "Mom, if I were a prince then it makes you a queen".. So that's how this quote comes up.

"Do you know why Moms like their son

wearing an outfit like a Prince?

It's because.... it makes them a Queen"

It's a cute quote, isn't it?

Together - Family - Forever

One year ago, 3 August 2008, my father passed away. Being sentimental, I spent the day looking at old photos. It's really sad that I don't have much photo of my Dad, and only couple of family photos with complete family members since (as far as I remember) we only get together for two times; the first time was in 1988 and the second time was in my sister's wedding day in March 1994.

Thanks to the photos and scrapbooking, I could still look at the past and keep that beautiful memories in my heart!Credit: Jolagg, Happy Scrap, Raspberry Road Designs, and Linda's Place

Me.. back then

Recently I got email from my old friend who lives in Japan. She is a kind lady and we still keep in touch even sometime only by writing to each other once a year (sending new year's card). All communication were done through telephone and traditional mail because she didn't have internet connection at home.

But this time, she said she can use internet and I'm so happy for that. I really miss the old time we spent together. I can say that she was my first best friend I met after I arrived in Japan for studying in 1992. My one year scholarship in Japan gave me a lot of memories and wonderful experiences.. I lost contact with many of my friends back then.. Just wish I could keep in touch with them again..

My Little Prince

It's really hard to get a good photo of my boy. He's either make a silly pose with silly faces or just covering his face when I take my camera. But in his uncle wedding party, he's kind enough to pose with me and had our photo taken.
But I should extract his photo and enlarge it so I can clearly show off how handsome my prince is..
