Art Blog

My 7 years old son love to draw so much and I decided to start off a blog for him. An artist who is also his teacher encouraged me to create a blog for him to keep all his art.

Delwin, started to draw when he is about 3+ with some guidance from hubby. Slowly, he love drawing so much. Initially, we buy him reams and reams of A4 papers from the bookshops. Sometimes, he will use about 4 - 5 reams of papers per month. Then, we have to find ways to cut down his usage. So, we decided to cut the A4 paper into half because there are times he only draw an animal and he will not use the empty place. Wherever we go, we will bring paper and pen along coz he will draw when we are not doing anything. Now, my 5 years old daughter is being influence by him. She is not a born artist but rather a follower. She just want to join in the fun with the big brother.

Does he look like an artist? Aiyoh!!! Mum & Dad also confuse liau. But, we want to motivate him. It may be a way for him to release his tention and it might be his hobby. Who knows, he will use his skill for something in the future. Everyone have got a way to release their tention, right?

She loves to draw because of her big brother. Whenever the brother is drawing, she will also ask for pen and paper to join in the fun. To be fair, we also send her for art class. Yes, both of them are under the guidance of an artist.

Bra & Panties Project

Bra & Panties Project??? Is Erina Law having some problems? Nope Nope Nope. Lilian and myself are trying to get some panties and bras for some of the girls that are staying in Shan Home.

Lilian really take her time out and hunting from one place to another to look for undergarments. The kids are really lucky to have her. If I am at her shoes, I will also get lost. Buying something without having the kids around it's difficult coz they are not there to try. We don't dare to take them out just incase they will trying to run away. Then, we will be in deep deep deep shit lor.

So, happen I drop by there yesterday afternoon and I found out that one of the new girl is going to school today. She don't have any bra at all. Shit!!! Paiseh leh. I took a measurement and call up Lilian. Just incase she had got them. When I found out she haven't got them, I told her I will try from the pasar.

I manage to get 2 pieces from the pasar this morning. Afterall, that is the only 2 smaller size the lady has - size 36. I ask the lady, 'wah! besar lar, size 36 wor'? But, when she show me it's not like the 36 one. I think this one is cupless one - not A, B or C or D. She was looking at me with a weird look. So, I told her it's not for me nor my daughter. I told her that I am getting for someone. She was so good tell me that, if it cannot fit I can always take it back to exchange with her. What a good thing to hear from her.

After that, me and hubby met up with Lilian for Tim Sum and she pass me the panties. Now the kids had got nice panties. Thanks Lilian. The kids will definately going ot love it. I will be going over to the home this afternoon again to pass them the undergarments.

The bras and panties project is not an end to us yet..........................

A Happy Day For Us and Them

Saturday, 13 June 2009 was a happy day for my family, friends and the kids at Shan Home. Me and hubby decided to organise a BBQ party for them. Eventhougth it was a very simple and small one but all of us have a great evening. I had invited only a few friends including Lilian. Sometimes, not that I don't want to invite more people but I am not sure if they would like to go or not.

I found out about this home 2 months ago from a friend of mine. I drop by there about once a week. It's happy to be there. Shan Home is located at Mount Eskine. From the road side, you will see the signboard - Bodhi Heart Sanctuary. Follow that route. It will lead you to Shan Home. This home is situated at the same property with Bodhi Heart.

Luckily my cousin Miki (the thinner one) and his friend (Surya) manage to come over to give help. Thanks to both of you

Uncle Rosan - one of the caretaker

Some of the food


Mine and Sue Ann kids. They are enjoying too

You must be wondering where are the other kids picutes. Nope, I am not putting it up here coz they also want some privacy. You can view a short video from Lilian blog.

Kids that live in this home have many hidden story behind. Living far away from parents it's a very painful experience. No one will understand them. Sometimes due to this, kids might give you funny attitute not because they are naughty but they are trying to take our attention. They also want our love too. So, sometimes I drop by to pass them some food and catch up with the kids. There are 18 of kids altogether now.

My friend Sue Ann wanted to organise another BBQ party for them again in the coming school holiday. Yipeeeee...............................................

If any of you want to donate anything to Shan Home, you can also pass it to me too as I will drop by their place at least once a week there. Afterall, Shan Home is very near to my shop.

Finally, Lilian I am happy for you too because your prayer had been answered by God and Mages is there safely with her sister. If you have any other charity project, do keep me inform. I love to help too in whichever way I could.

A HAPPY MOMENT FOR ALL OF US!!!

Penang - Durian Season

Last weekend, we took the kids for round island and we decided to stop by at Titi Kerawang for our favourite fruit - DURIAN!!! We will go to our favourite stall every durian season.

My daughter was so happy to see so many durian

She really love durian

Yum yum..................... delicious

My son is the only one who don't love durian. So, he just enjoy the beautiful scenery

Daddy ordered 1 cocoa for the kids to try. At least they know how it taste. It is a bit soury

Durian ah................................. The owner told me that if the durian just fall down from the tree, it will not smell that good. Knock the durian a few time on the table/ground. It will bring out the durian smell. I see him did that to one of the durian. It work!!!

Titi Kerawang Stall. They also offer durian buffet during the peak season

The stall is just by the road side. The price they charge is very reasonable

The view

Look at the durian

We will be back again in another 2 weeks. There will be more durians. They also sell other fruits apart from durian - banana, passion fruit (markisa) and etc etc etc.

DURIAN SEASON LIAU!!!

Mother's Day Breakfast

I got this breakfast surprise from hubby and the kids yesterday morning. It was nothing really special but I am so touched by just a simple breakfast. Hubby is really creative, he make east (toast, fried egg and sausage) and west (satay) breakfast.

This is my breakfast

Small card from the kids

If you were me, how would you feel when you have this on Mother's Day morning?

I am a person who don't demand for exclusive stuff but simple stuff like this really make me feel great. Afterall, hubby and the kids do it with their love. Hubby, ask the my son and daughter to wish me Happy Mother's Day. Then, each of them gave me a hug and a kiss....................... how lovely!

HAPPY BELATED MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL LOVELY MOTHERS!!!

Father, Son & Daughter

A mum's job is never easy but yet it can be fun and happy at times. Being a mum to 2 kids at the age of 4 and 6, it's a hectic especially if you happen to have a active one. Well, I have 2. As they grow up they can ask you lots of funny and unanswerable question.

Yesterday, hubby were sitting down with them and he started to ask how the cat, dog and cow sounded. Then, later he asked them again how the lion, elephant and horse sound. They are very happy answering the question. So, the question goes on.................... hubby ask them if fish swim then how about birds? How about frog and kangaroo? Suddenly, my little girl ask him, "daddy, how fish eat? Daddy kena trap liau. So, he told her that the fish eat with the mouth. Trying to take her attention away but she insisted daddy showing her how the fish eat. No choice but to show her by moving his mouth, showing her how the fish eat. Another question, "daddy, how fish shower?" Oooo no, this is a question that none of us can answer. So, he explain to her that fish live in the water, no need to shower already. Then, our son said, "must shower one, if not smelly." So, anyone know the answer? How fish shower?

The 2 cheeky kids



I like this picture. Too bad daddy, the picture is up here liau. Daddy washing the son son hair and the brother washing the sister hair. They just came back from swimming. Luckily, daddy is not naked. If not ...............................


Still can smile even got punish? Yup, that is Delwin. He got punish from daddy coz running around my shop. Hand on the head with 1 leg up

Kids are joy to us but at times you can also get heart attack, ok?

Cupcakes - Rich Chocolate Cake with Fruits

My daughter, Delwina birthday had just pass 2 weeks ago. I always feel happy being able to make the kids something that they like. Btw, my daughter is 4 years old liau. She had been telling me that she wanted chocolate cake with strawberry. Everytime when I try to brain-wash her with other cakes she will still tell me she wanted Chocolate Cake with Strawberry. Aiyoh!!!! Finally, I told her that I will put some grapes (one of her favourite fruits) and pineapple apart from strawberry. She agreed........................... kids are hard to deal with nowadays. Parents also learn well in the negotiation skills. hahahahaha

This is her cupcakes that she is will be sharing with all her school friends. The stick??? It's biscuit

I specially pack 8 boxes for her classmate. 1 cake with strawberry and the other one with cherry


Nice? Also pack 1 box for her class teacher


This is my little adorable girl, Delwina.

I hope she will not ask me to do this cake again. Other flavour it's ok. Always chocolate, mummy also go mad liau. I will be bored leh.

Home Cook Food Is Always The Best

Nothing is better or maybe tastier than home cook food. I don't claim that I am the best cook but as long as my family are happy with the food I am preparing, that is consider good. My son love my pastry, my daughter and hubby love my cooking. No complaining means food is good, rite? Since economy is so slow and I don't feel like eating yesterday. Normally, on my off day I am very lazy to move around. Most of the time, I will stay at home............................

Yesterday, I make something very simple for my family. Very simple........................ but yet it was nice and special.

Steam white profet with mushroom, beancurd and tomato. Add in some sour plum to give it a better taste. This is for the kids.

Assam Prawn (Prawn cook with Tamarind) for me and hubby. It's hubby favourite.

I always love to have vegetables during meal time. I bought some 'choi sum far' (sawi). Cook it with some boiling water and served with garlic oil and soya sauce. Hubby like the vege to be served with garlic and I like mine to served with meat floss. So this is what I do. Don't you think I am so smart to serve the vegetable with 2 flavours?

What can I say ........................... simple, clean, nice, yummy, preparing it with love and most important cook it with love. Fuyoh, I am such a good carrer woman, loving mum and also most important a caring wife!!! How many should I score? hehehe......................

Kiddie Birthday Cupcakes

My son's birthday had just pass few days ago and since this is his last year in kindy, I make him some special cupcakes for him to share with his buddies. For his classmate, I make extra one for them to pack back in a small little box. I asked Delwin what cake he wants me to make. He kept on telling me apple cake. Aiyoh!!! After thinking for a couple of days, I decided to make him apple carrot cupcakes with cheese frosting. Most kids love cheese.

Apple Carrot Cupcakes with Cheese Frosting

Animals are his favourite. I got him elephant, zebra, tiger and lion


Nice or not?

I kept a few for him to share with his sister. He just love it and tell me, it's yummy!!!

Kids are not too difficult to satisfied them. Just a small cake, they are happy with it. The school teachers told me that the cakes are all finished up. I make a total of 120 cupcakes to feed more than 50 kids. As long as they happy, I am happy too!!!

HAVE A HAPPY WEEKEND TO ALL OF YOU!

I am planning to make some nice dessert to pampered myself this weekend.

Visiting A Village

Few weeks ago, we just stop by over a small village as we were on the way to somewhere. The purpose of us stop over is to show our kids what is village look like and suddenly we spotted something and the 2 kids got so excited.

My little girl got so excited when she saw the chicken. She keep telling us things about the chicken.

Both of them stand there for more than 10 minutes and they were really having so much fun looking at the chicken.

What did he tell the chicken??? Don't you think both of them are communicating? In real fact, my son is afraid of chicken because of the claw.

Well, we live in the city and it's real difficult to see like this. Even though we stop by for less than 20 minutes, the kids are really enjoying themselves.

Magadascar 2

Magadascar 2 will be coming and the toys are available at McDonalds for sales. Hubby pick up 2 yerterday for the kids - a zebra (Marty) and a lion(Alex). The zebra is for our son and the lion is for our girl. Later at nite, hubby took out some paper and ask the kids to bring their new toys to him. Apasai har???? Anyway, I don't bother and continue with what I were doing in the kitchen. Then, he ask his son .......................... nice or not. And they kids shouted wah.....................

Later, my son took the papers to me asking me to stick it on the fridge door. I am impress too with what hubby had draw. Anyway, he is a better artist than me. That is why my son love to draw alot. Like father, like son.

Alex, the lion
Marty, the zebra

So, what do you think? Nice?

Puzzle Time......................

Are you a person who enjoy playing with puzzle? I used to love it when I am very young. Nowadays, not that I don't love it but it takes up lots of my time. Most important you got to have lots and lots of patience. Guess my son got this from me ................. he loves to play with puzzle since he is 4 years old. Now he is 5 liau. He started with 5 pieces then move on to 12, 20 and now the latest is 150 pieces. The beautiful part is he can do it quiet fast. I enjoy seeing him playing with puzzle. He will sing as he play with it.

This is one of his favourite.

Where is the next piece ????

Is this the correct piece?

Almost complete. See his little pillow by his side? Hahaha........

Tadah......................... complete liau. His favourite animal, ZEBRA!!!

They Need Our Helping Hands

A friend of mine, Josephine told me there is a children handicapped centre that I can help in whatever way I can. Few weeks ago, I drop by this centre and it was a Sunday so they were close. They only open during the weekdays.

Finally, today I had make an effort to drop by there in the afternoon. I had been making a lot of noise at hubby ears asking him to take me there. Well, I can go by myself but since he say he would also like to go so I keep on reminding him lor. By the time, we were there the kids are all gone home already. They start school at 8am and finished at 12.30pm except for Friday where the class end 1 hour earlier.

The brochure.
You can also support a kids at RM600/year.

For those kids who are poor or their family are having financial problem, the government will support each kids with RM600/year. Yes! only RM600 which is RM50/month. This money will bank into their personal account. Btw, with RM50/month what can they do? I really do not know. When Khatijah, the principal told us about it, we were shock. Currently, there are 70 kids at this centre ranging from age 4 - 17. 1 man had been send to the moon with millions of dollars without a good reason. Can't they use the money to help the needy one. Use that millions of dollars to help the poor or the needy one lar rather spending it like that. 1 man happy but millions of people suffer.

A workshop called JOBLINK is formed together with the Rotary Club Penang to catered jobs to the youths with disabilities. It provides on the job training and handles contract work which helps them to master work skills and also earn an income as well as give them a sense of achievement and independence.

Those who are interested to help, can visit them at :-
