Tonight, we attended a special wedding dinner. Unfortunately, some friends are sick (fever!) and we feel not merrier enough to share that moment.

Finally, my home-made wedding cake  is presented in front of 30 tables guests in Safira Club, Seberang Jaya. IT's a meaningful cake i  ever make~~ What a sweet moment of a pair of lovely couple for the cake cutting ceremony!

Thanks for giving me a chance to discover....... 

I hope it's not too late to share with my dear friends here our happy moments during the 1st week of CNY. Visiting relatives n friends, gambling for fun n having heavenly delicious food everywhere just like a daily routine for CNY. Some lucky days to go!

Mmcat made some paper crafting cards for the parents, in law n godparents. Here comes our handsome boy to write his wishing for the grannies....n also not forgetting that ddcat made some awesome balloons for the kids around.

We just made up our mind to go for hiking on every Wed. starting next week. :p

Wishing all the friends, Gong Xi Fatt Chai....Happy Chinese New Year!

Here's the painting by Darius (from his Art Class) to share with all of you. 

As for my school, the scene of New Year is everywhere.

The pupils even have a "财神爷" to sing for them during the recess. It is fun!! 

Happy holiday n drive safety back home. 

 Bringing 2 yrs old toddler for Island hopping and snorkelling? no problem.

Carol got her first experience on speedboat riding, island hopping, swimming for whole day...they had fun!!

Darius was a bit frightened. After standing by the seaside for hours, I carried him to the sea and played around. Singing and turn around as the rhymes went on.

On the second day, when we went Island hopping, they were more steady and enjoyed themselves swimming in Pulau Bunting Children Pool (lake).

Anyhow, my arms were sore and I was tired for 3 days after home.

My programme quite full in this holiday. Right after from Langkawi, I started swimming lessons with kids(5-9yrs old) in country club. I am now darker and somehow ugly.

For the following week, I will be busy baking and prepared for some CNY cookies.

Some people might feel time flies when Carol turns 2.

I do hope she can be more independent and ready for kindy schooling.

This morning, she said she wanted to go shopping.

I asked, what do you want to buy?

She answered, I want to buy yogurt.

I asked, anymore?

She replied, I want to buy grapes.

Such a 2 yrs old, she already has her own shopping list!

We had been growing up a caterpillar to butterfly for 2 months ago.

From a tiny brown worm, then turn to green caterpillar. After eating so much kari leaves and lemon leaves, finally it turned into a pupa. For about 10 days, a beautiful butterfly resting in our container.

Anyhow, the first experience was a good lesson. Without any support, the butterfly became handicap. the wings can't flip and the butterfly died after a day of 24 hours. Sad!

The second time, we rolled in some net material as support. This time, two butterflies were successfully grown. We support them with some flowers in the aquarium. They had been staying with us through out the weekends.

Just Monday, I gave them freedom to join their friends in the school butterfly farm.

I feel glad to support this tiny caterpillar and turn them into butterfly. It was amazing! Anyone wants to try out? I have many at home.

The whole family was striked by the flu n phlegm virus. Normally when the children are sick, we as parents quickly send them to doc. After a few visits, my prince n princess still can't beat the virus.

As for me, I am sick for a week! That is too long for me. For the whole week, I can't eat well and not even to taste the FOOD!! What is the smell of the coffee? Is the soup too salty?

Hope god at my side and angel sprinkles some magical will for me to cure. 

Last 2 weeks, we had a birthday lunch with granny who turned 80. That was the first birthday we celebrated in a grand restaurant in Bayan Lepas.

We brought Darius along. After that, he was sick for a week, just recovered from his high fever yesterday. I hope he is fine...and Carol too... she is having diarrhea badly.

Kids are fun?! No..... I really lose control every time I hear them yelling n crying. For me, school children already made me tired after a day of work. Come back home, I couldn't bare any noise.

Mothers, feel free to speak up!

Attached together Darius' karaoke session.  

Chinese New Year is going to the end soon.

How many red packets did ur children get?

Did you forget to give your own child?

Early in the morning for the first day, normally people will get up and dress up. At home, ddcat will get ready with camera to snap some family photos. After that, he ask the children to "line up" and greet him "Gong Xi Fatt Chai".

We headed to in law's house for lunch and relatives house too~

Steamboat is a very common meal during CNY, I think. We had it almost everyday for the last week. Anyhow, once a year and I really can't stop myself of having so much food. :p~
