The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Subang Jaya Branch EQ Bukit Gasing Forest Park Hiking 1 Sep 2014

DSC00457It is a hiking activity organized by the EQ Subang Jaya on this Hari Merdeka. Daddy brought Issac together with him in this activity.

Both of them went out early in the morning, and they have breakfast together near the church at Petaling Jaya.

While waiting for the rest of the EQ members to come, they took some photos together.

After the members arrived, then they started the hike. Before they start, took a group photo first. Actually there was not many turned up, but still a good small group.

DSC00458They are President Chi, Brother Koay, Brother Isaac, Brother Jacky Chin, Elder Stratfold, Elder Paewai and Daddy and Issac. Daddy told that, Brother Felix came a little bit later.

Bukit Gasing Forest Reserve is a 100 hectare stretch of green belt dividing the city of Petaling Jaya (Selangor state) from the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur.

DSC00460It was once a rubber estate but, in the intervening 60 years, the miraculous restorative powers of nature have been allowed to work their magic and the park is now a haven of lush secondary forest including some pretty large trees.

Being surrounded by heavily populated areas, Bukit Gasing is a popular place for nearby residents to stretch legs, get the lungs and heart working and sweat off any extra weight.

Being a holiday morning there were quite a lot of hikers about and walking. Hikers are such caring and good people. There are plenty of benches where you can take a rest.

DSC00465It is quite a tough one, according to Daddy some of the spots or paths which you need to step on the trees roots. Overall, still an enjoyable one when you hike together with the church members.

They did reach the suspended bridge area and managed to take a photo there, as that is the land mark of Bukit Gasing.

After they came down from the hill, all of them took a light meal and drinks at the ever famous Indian banana leaves restaurant which is located at the foot hill of Bukit Gasing. That concluded the activity!

The Tree of Life . Our World 23 – 30 Aug 2014 Art Exhibition

IMG_7597 This is all that I am eagerly waiting for - "The Tree of Life . Our World 2014” Jane Yap Atelier Students Art Exhibition. It will be from 23rd August to 30th August 2014.

Ever since enrolled both Issac and Annabelle into the art class 2 years ago, with Aunty Jasmine recommendation to me on Jane Yap Atelier. I am very happy that let both children come to learn and attend Teacher Jane art class.

IMG_7601 I think is 2 years ago too, I got to know from Mummy Ang Lee Siang Facebook, that she brought her children came to see the art exhibition too.

From the photos that Lee Siang took and put up on the Facebook, the drawings which I saw from what were the student there learn, really amazed me at that point of time.

And, made me wonder which art studio is that that teach the children so well… Finally, this year is both Issac and Annabelle turn.

IMG_7612 We woke up early because the art exhibition is going to start at 10am, Teacher Jane asked the parents to bring the children as early as 9am.

There is an opening ceremony and the representative from Sin Chew Jit Poh is coming. The students are required to dress in white theme. Boys would be in white shirts. Girls would be in white blouse or in white dress.

IMG_7640 Every student whom participate is going to present a canvas drawing with the title of “Tree of Life”, and 2 canvas bags which 1 canvas bag is in monochrome colour and the other 1 canvas bag is with animal theme.

As this is a joint function between Jane Yap Atelier and Sin Chew Charity Foundation, all the canvas bags are for sale and the proceeds will to sin chew foundation.

IMG_7645 It was early as we reached at Citta Mall. We went to Dr. Cafe Coffee for a drink before we went up to The Space Exhibition Hall.

On our way to 1st floor, we met with Teacher Jane. She wore in black colour theme. She told me that Issac is appeared in the Sin Chew Daily newspaper today. It was the interviews and all about the art exhibition today. I was so happy! That later I will go and get a copy of the newspaper today.

IMG_7652 The students and all the teachers having a group photos after the opening ceremony. There were so many parents and children there.

We took some pictures with each Annabelle and Issac art piece. I really do have a bit of surprise that both of their art pieces! Never think that both of them would have ok too!

We met with Ele Mun too. His art works really good and impressive as well. He drew only 1 bag with an eagle on it. Looks great too! His “Tree of Life” canvas art also very interesting!

After I bought the Sin Chew Daily and read about the art exhibition, I did Wats App to Papa to tell him the joyfulness and happiness I have on this!

After that, Papa did Wats App me his sketch on Issac. It do look alike ^^

Well… Really proud and happy I am. This is their first ever art exhibition, display their very own art piece and art works!

人生的滋味。。

IMG_7054 人生的滋味。。
今晚收拾旧物时,看到了这本相簿。也有怎二十年了吧!和母亲在昔加末顶好百货一起选的。
“妈,你知到为何我选这款式吗?”
母亲只是笑笑,对我说:“你希望你的相簿,放的就像这花生一样,嘴嚼着百般滋味的人生吧!”
我只是笑着点点头。
虽然你在我还没开始我的人生就离开。看到这相簿,总觉得,其实你一直在那哩,尝着我嘴嚼着的花生。。

Lovely Birthday Gift 26 Jun 2014

IMG_6740 Today I feel so touched and happy ^^. Surprisingly I received a precious gift from dear!

It was almost midnight and I would say good bye to 26th June - my birthday. I was so sleepy and wanted to go to bed already after our simple dinner with dear dear, Issac and Annabelle…

And, suddenly out of nowhere, he gave me a big black bag and a card. I knew, that is a birthday card!

IMG_6744The black bag on top of it, there is a “Tumi” word and logo on it. I just opened it, there is a yellow colour tote bag!

I was talking to him that, I am looking for a tote bag for myself, as the handbag he brought me previously as my birthday present too, the leather of the bag started to peel off… And, I am looking for a bigger size bag as need to put in at least a piece of A4 size paper.

Every time during shopping, I would stopped by the handbag shops and see the design of the bags which one is most suit me.

IMG_6739 Every time I did not buy but just to check or survey the price and designs of the tote bag.

He told me that, he bought it at Johor Premium Outlet during went to Johor Bahru for meeting. He thinks this design suits me better, then he bought it and all the while kept inside his car boot, till today only took out.

I was so happy and kissed him. After all these years, I was thinking of simple dinner is good enough for me as what we had been through all these years…

Really a surprise! and love shown to me…

I love you… Dear…

Celebrating Father’s Day 14 Jun 2014

IMG_6452 We are celebrating Father’s Day a week earlier.

Today we were having our weekend walk at the Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. So happened that in the centre court there, there is a Batman theme display show. It features all the Batman’s merchandise including the costumes, the Batman cars, the Batman weapons, and other accessories related to it.

Daddy said, he would like to have the pork ribs from Morganfield’s. That is the first time I am hearing this restaurant. He said that, their spare ribs are the best in town, even better than Tony Roma’s, Chicago’s Ribs, and others.

IMG_6463 We ordered Spare Ribs with 2 types of flavours – Hickory BBQ Spare Ribs and Spicy Asian BBQ Spare Ribs, whereby we ordered for kids are Hot Dog set and Meatballs set for Issac and Annabelle.

Kids are eat free with every adult set meal, meaning we are paying only for the 2 sets of Spare Ribs which we ordered. Really worth while meal for Father’s Day Celebration ^^

Morganfield's is it signature dish –"Sticky Bones" – a truly authentic, old-fashioned, prime pork ribs slow-cooked and smoked in coal and hickory wood to tender mouth watering perfection, then basted with the gluey sweet-and-sour- tomato based home-made mopping sauce.

It is really delicious ^^

After the dinner, we still window shopping around the mall then only left for home.

Sekinchan Day Trip 8 Jun 2014

IMG_6865It has been almost 1 year that we visited last year. Still remember that time, the paddy fields are just after harvesting, and starting seeding.

This time around, we really are so lucky – with the clear blue sky above and the green with tint of yellowish across the paddy fields.

The picture laid before our eyes seems so beautiful and nice. Just simply snap a few pictures too, no need special high specification camera also, the scenery before us are so beautiful and natural.

IMG_6908

We feel happy that surrounded by the green and yellow paddy. We took a few photos.

It was great!

Children were happy too!
