Capturing moments

Photography is one of the little thing I practice on lately and put it into action almost instantly
: P and contributed some sought-after-moments of kids presenting during my sons' school's year-end concert.

wrong setting on the camera and caused this...people in the picture almost can't be seen!


trying to rectify with the help from some experts...

By the way, I captured this from a cafe platform by the sea in Pulau Langkawi. Imagine sitting by the sea sipping a cup of coffee... marvellous life moments!

The kitchen

For those of you who still visit here, please excuse me for being away for so long.
During this long holiday, besides keeping kids at home we have more activities going on in the home. Getting them doing homework is another challenge

Besides that, I'd upgraded my kitchen and hope will fill up with more creative cooking and delicious dishes... this space is much needed because we eat home-cook mostly, even visiting guests are treated with a meal or two here. As Christmas is approaching, it's the best time to celebrate some moments in life with love ones and mine I started it from the kitchen.

Parenting challenge

Recently, I stick a note near to my children's writing table which read as 'finished is better than perfect'. and as you know, there's always a reason why I do this...


and not too long after Ryan read that (less than half a day), he turned it into 'unfinished is better than unperfect'... it's hilarious to discover the turnover from this little mind... so, who says parenting is easy nowadays?!

Cheese tart

I like to make things. It's the satisfaction of being able to share things with love ones that count after a long hard work. Store bought tart is not as delicious as the homemade one, moreover the latter could yield more in quantity and everyone could enjoy as many as they want. I'll post the recipe soon in my home cook food collection.

Don't want to go to school...

Started since last week, Ryan would refuse to go to school. The routine is, drags him into the car from house, then upon reaching school, he would start crying like a baby does not want to go in to school. It will need 2 teachers to stop him from running to me.

My child is a very active boy, and he always get punished by teachers, stand at a corner, sit on the last row in the classroom... According to one of his teacher, he said my son is very attentive and able to answer questions fast and precisely despite being 'naughty' sometimes...but certain younger teacher feel hard to tackle and handle him, it's a clash. And I really wish to hear something from them telling me what I should do, I mean from their professionalism point of view?... but too bad, none.

One rule of thumb is that, teacher need to have differentiated initiative to teach different types of students. A single style of teaching might not work in a classroom of 20-30 students.

Cap - modified

It has been sometime I left my sewing machine unattended. With our all year long warm weather, we really need to get our head sheltered. At the same time, I wanted to be a little bit more creative, practically.
Look at this cap which you and I won't bother to take an additional look at ...


and see how it looked now... with two flappy dog's ears. This is more practical than the previous one isn't it? You can try to modify yours now.

Beautiful thing

a do'er do all these...

we ate the most of fish heads... - Garoupa fish head curry Thai style, at least once a week ^_^
really delicious when served with a bowl of hot rice..


mom gave us a few bananas which she got it from the farm we couldn't finished it. then, I decided to make cake out of it - Banana cake


i enjoyed looking at things handmade. they are all very beautiful to me especially those natural wool pillows, they don't have to be very sophisticated. with this travel pillow, I wish I could travel to more places with kids and family...

I'm in the paper The Sunday Star. (3rd from right)
Ms. Lucille Dass is one of the big name in English teaching.
She is a super teacher! My inspiration.

Eating out

I got my wisdom tooth pulled off, the gum was pain for many days and it was accompanied with fever... it wasn't that wise anyway to get it removed. anyway, it was gone now.

I'm getting better now and brought kids to eat out at a Hongkie restaurant. My son said the rice was delicious and he enjoyed the meal ^_^ They know how to enjoy good food and dining out is a luxury thing for them :D

and I like the drinking jar more than the food :P


It was Father's Day over the weekend - Happy Father's Day!
