Mammy

In the spirit of Mother's Day.... Introducing the most fantastic kit "Mammy" by Emka Designs.. available in Scrapbookgraphics http://shop.scrapbookgraphics.com/product.php?productid=28759




As a daughter, I want to say "I love you, Mom! I will always pray for your happiness and good health"

As a mother, I feel so lucky to have my wonderful son. I love you baby..

Career and Family

I was a working woman before I married but I quit working after I gave birth to my son and enjoyed my days as a stay at home mom since then, even that's mean I didn't have money to spend and had to listen and follow all the instructions from my husband. What matters to me is I can see my son everyday, growing up from a little baby to a healthy smart boy.

But circumtances won't allow me to sit back watching my son all the time. I finally had to find a job since my husband is facing a financial problems.

I start working again after 6 years break. It's tough to separate with my boy, but what make it worse and worrying me is to see my son under other people's care. But there is nothing else I can do except crossing my fingers and hope God will take care my son so he will always healthy and happy, and will become a person with a good attitude, smart and wise.

Crossing My Fingers

I'm so blessed with a wonderful, healthy and smart boy who turned 6 today...
I'm so blessed with a wonderful, loving and caring family...
I'm so blessed with so many wonderful things in my life...

Now.. my younger sister, who is heavily pregnant, is waiting for the arrival of her second child. She is thinking to choose VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarian) but her doctor suggested a cesarian!

The only thing I can do is crossing my fingers! Asking for another blessing from God...
Please be praying for a quick and safe delivery. Every single prayer sent up counts! Thank you so much!

Happy Birthday to My Boy!

My boy is 6 today! He was so happy to celebrate his birthday at school with his friends and teacher! And we had great fun day since his daddy took 1 day leave to celebrate his birthday!

And this pictures were taken last Sunday when we celebrate his birthday earlier with the family..
Hi everybody......
I wish all your good wishes for me coming true...

New Beginning

I was thinking to post something here in New Year day or at least few days after new year, but time just doesn't wait for me when I feel lazy to do things.

I know it's very late to wish every body a Happy New Year now.. But I still want to do so.. wish this 2010 brings good things in everything to every body!

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!

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 ~

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

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..

Time is Flying

Oh Gosh.. It seems just few days ago I wrote and posted scap page in my blog. But it was almost a month ago. Time is really flying.. I was happily celebrating CNY with my 2 mothers (Mom and MIL).. but a week later, my MIL's health was deteriorating.. After felt so much painful, she finally lost in the battle with her cancer. It made me losing someone again and the feel was (and is still) awful .. But I should say thank you to some of my friends for their sympathy messages send to me.. I really appreciate it.

I am always slow and tried to avoid doing more things.. or in a another perspective word it is called 'lazy'.. But this case reminds me that life is so short and unpredictable. Time will not wait for you. Just do whatever you want to do.. So I hope I will do something useful... soon.. and I hope I don't need another reminder to wake me up...

here are some cool quote that I found:

- Men talk of killing time, while time quietly kills them. ~Dion Boucicault
- Time wastes our bodies and our wits, but we waste time, so we are quits. ~Author Unknown
- Time is what we want most, but... what we use worst. ~Willaim Penn
- Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived. ~ Captain Jean - Luc Picard
- Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save. ~Will Rogers

Being a Photographer

Last weekend, we went to the beach and stayed in the resort to celebrate birthday of my husband's nephew. We were having a good time. The scenery was really beautiful and I wanted to take picture of my son. I took him a long the beach and tried to take some shots. What a pity, my son kept running or doing some silly pose or showed silly faces whenever I asked him to stay still.

My hobby is taking photo and I dream I can become a famous photographer one day.. But now I understand that being a photographer is not easy at all..

Career Woman V.S. House Wife

I think I am not a good blogger. I haven't posted or written anything for quite a while. I am in a deep thought about whether I should go to work and being a career woman or just being a housewife. Of course both have good and bad things. ohh.. what a troublesome...

Well.. during this few days, I was trying to update my CV and looking for some job vacancies.. Oh, gosh.. looking at it, I am wondering people will hire me... I quit my last job 5 years ago and become a full time house wife. So, "what have I done this 5 years??"

And until now.. the worries still continuing...

Life After Death

Do you believe in 'life after death'? I do.

But I am only good in talking about nothing, and because this is something, I won't discuss it further .. only want to share some little part from what I read from net..

http://lifeafterdeath.info/#PREFACE
"There is nothing more important to us as living beings than that we have something we can describe as a soul that continues to exist after physical death and is everlasting. For without this, it is all for naught and there was no point in existing at all for ultimately it does not matter if we live for a year or a trillion years if we do not have immortality. And in fact not having such would really be the ultimate cruelty"
