Valance celebrated his 14th Birthday on 13rd of February 2012. The day before Valentine's. Joivy and Vredence discusses want to bring Valance to eat at Rasamas or Domino's Pizza. Henry said don't worry about that just ask Valance what he want to choose. Henry and me fetch Valance from school then on the way we asked him what he want to eat for his birthday. He replied he want Domino's then he thought for a while and he asked us, "Mummy, if I want to eat at Domino's then you all must spend a lots". I replies, "Don't worry son, it's your birthday and we all want you to be happy". He smiled after hearing my explaination.

We all drove to Domino's after Vredence back from work at 8pm. Coco can't follow us because she can't enter the Domino's so she stay at home after we tricked her with her snack. Pity with her but what to do because we stay in Malaysia. Henry and I first time visited the Domino's pizza and the dining place so little and luckily still have one table. The Domino's prefer customer take away or they delivered to them but the the place we live far away from their shop so don't have delivery.

Joivy and Vredence ordered the pizza's while Henry still park his car. Valance and I sat on waiting. Then two customer take away and still have a table next to us so we put the two tables together. Kok Tat on the way and he reached while the pizza's still not serve. The Domino's really tasted delicious and Henry ordered for second time after the two pieces pizza and the bread all finished by us. Wait for 15 minutes then the pizza arrives. After finished the pizza we all drove back home.

We took out the fruit cake from the fridge and put on desk. While Joivy put the 6 pieces of eggs colour with red colour. Henry made a birthday card for him and the card really cute! After finished singing the birthday song, we all started our photographing session. We all ate happily and the most happy person was Valance because the celebration was meant for him. Joivy gave him an angpow and she made a love shape with the RM50 note.

Happy 14th Birthday Valance!

Vredence 21st Birthday fall on 29th of January 2012 and we decided to celebrate it for him. We bought his white gold key pendant with a necklace at Prangin Mall. It's cost RM398 and shared by all of us. We all decided to bought key shaped pendant because Vredence already reached 21 years old and he must have a key on his birthday.

We all decided to dinner at last time my birthday celebration restaurant because it's the cheapest in Penang area. Six person and it's only cost us RM39.00 for food not including drinks. We ordered four big dishes, The Mongolian Chicken, Fried Prawn (similarity), Brocoli Taufu and Steam Eggs . . . all yummy.

Reached home, we took out the Mango Pudding Cake from fridge and put on a desk. Kok Tat and Joivy still want to go to BBQ at Kok Tat friend house because on 28th of Jan. 2012 they prepared BBQ to celebrated Kok Tat birthday and still left a lots of foods in the fridge. That's why they and all his friend decided to finish it. Photographing sessions and singing sessions finished, we all ate our slice of cake. Joivy said this same cake were present and served to Kok Tat and all his friends during his birthday celebration too. That's mean Kok Tat and Joivy ate the same cake and taste twice only different by one day.

Joivy wore the key pendant into Vredence neck and it's mean Vredence already big and matured boy now. I wish Vredence to be happy and healthy on his journey into adulthood and will find his true soul mate one day and can walk together through their old ages . . . Valance made a card for his brother by himself and it's priceless present . . .

Happy 21st Birthday Vredence!

We All Loves You!

Chinese New Year celebration...

Whole family together >>>

Joivy, Vredence, Valance,

Henry, Coco & Me

My Three Precious Gems

My Dear Hubby Henry, Coco & Me

This year Chinese New Year celebration is different than before. We celebrated it in new place and environment. On Chinese New Year Eve's, the Chinese peoples who also celebrated it in here, can say that almost every home all light up the fire crackers and fireworks to welcome it. They started from as early as 7pm and continued after midnight and around 2am, they stopped. We didn't play any fire cracker or firework because it's a waste of money and dangerous to ourselves and other peoples too. Can heard siren from fire department from far. We said that's the problem and dangerous when play the fire crackers or fireworks.

Above pictures were taken on 23rd of January 2012 on first day of Chinese New Year. Kok Tat came to paid a visit to us on first day and took Joivy to "bai nian" with his family after he "bai nian" with us. On the Eve's during Family Reunion we all sitting together on one table and all enjoyed our steamboat's so happily that's why we forgot to take pictures of the steamboat's and the "Reunion" picture. I asked Kok Tat to join with us because we already accepted him as our future son in law.

Today is 6th day of Chinese New Year and will end on 15th day of Chinese Lunar Calendar and we also call it "Chap Goh Mei" 6th of February 2012. Still can heard fireworks everywhere and we all guess they only will stop light the fireworks after "Chap Goh Mei". Coco at first not very happy when she heard the sound of the fire crackers or fireworks and will bark loudly but now she already immune with it, so she will ignored it completely although they light the fireworks non stop for several minutes.

Kok Tat birthday is today and Joivy last night already gave him present and wish him Happy Birthday. Kok Tat friends prepare BBQ dinner and birthday cake for his birthday and now Joivy and him at his friend house to enjoy it. Happy Birthday Kok Tat! Tomorrow is Vredence 21st Birthday and we already planning for his celebration and present was prepared and will give it to him tomorrow...

Love Conquers All..

I want to share Love Story here by Lisa Oriente~North America

Love Conquers All

September 27th was the 21st anniversary of Pete and Lisa's glorious love affair.

It was on this day back in 1990 that we started dating. However, this anniversary was to be celebrated in the most unconventional way: by going to our doctor's office and sitting side by side with IV treatments in our arms. He for MS (Multiple Sclerosis) and I for my overall health.

Part way through our visit, an elderly gentleman sat down across from us and smiled. He pointed to our IV's and said "Boy, that's togetherness!"

We started to chat. We learned that he had been married to the same woman for over fifty years and how she was his "everything". He explained that she was suffering the early effects of Alzheimer's and they were doing their best to make the most of their time while she was still of a good mind.

He gave us one important piece of advice.

"No matter what," he said, "love each other."

He pointed back and forth from Peter to me and said, "This is all that matters. Friends won't be there when you really need them. As long as you have each other, that is all that will matter."

He had no idea that it was a significant day in our relationship or that I had recently experienced some struggles with friendships. As a couple, it felt like we had received a sort of blessing on our relationship and a confirmation that people can really be in love forever.

It also made me realize that the struggles we think are so unique to our lives are really universal.

We need to stop focusing on those that let us down and turn our attention to those that support us. No matter what.

Tang Yuen Festival....

Tomorrow 22nd of December 2011 is Tang Yuen Festival.

or

Happy Winter Solstice!

I did share this festival two years ago on 22.12.2009.

But this year we didn't make the "tang yuen' because my parents pass away not for one year yet, so it is a forbidden to do it this year. However we can buy for eating but can't offering it on the altar. After one year, we can make it ourselves not only the "tang yuen" but "bak chang" (glutinous or sticky rice), the mooncakes (but I don't know how to bake it) and can offering all of them on the altar. For Chinese peoples a lots of taboo that we must follow and we follow some of them if we found that it's true.

As for example, when woman deliver a baby and on confinement month, we forbid to bath for the first two weeks because old wise peoples said we will catch cold and wind when we old. On the day that we can bath, we must follow all the rules that we have to bath on herbs that we find ourselves or buy it. After shampoo our hair we must put beer, XO or any herbs because we scare will catch wind. Then we forbid to bath again until the last day of the confinement month. We can wipe our body with warm water or herbs water. We forbid to eat whatever we like to. We must follow the rules. I have pork for two weeks and must cook it with ginger and sesame oil then after two weeks, I ate chicken also must cook it with ginger and sesame oil. For vegetables type I can eat only Kailan and for fish only none poisonous one to choose from.

During this year on Chinese New Year, I can't offer "angpow" or red packet for children but I can put it other than red colour of packet because I'm from maternal side not paternal side. As for my eldest brother and sister in law, they can't offer any "angpow" at all. They prohibited to do so because we must respect our two parents that already pass away and not showing to others that we so happy to celebrating Chinese New Year.

Tomorrow is "Tang Yuen" Festival so I wish to everyone whoever celebrating this festival.....

HAPPY TANG YUEN FESTIVAL!

Soul Mates.....

By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 9:08 AM on 13th December 2011 They had been utterly devoted to each other in a marriage that lasted 70 years. And last week Elizabeth Noble, 92, died just three days after her husband Fred, who passed away peacefully in his sleep on December 4, aged 96. The couple, who lived in Wingate, County Durham, had been inseparable throughout their marriage and kept every note,birthday card and Valentine's wish they had ever each other. True love: Elizabeth and Fred Noble, who were inseparable throughout their 70-year marriage, have died just three days apart Their family, while saddened by the loss, were comforted by the fact they were not apart for long. On Wednesday they will all gather for the couple's joint funeral where Vera Lynn's classic We'll Meet Again will be played. Mr and Mrs Noble had met in 1936. Mr Noble proposed soon after but was then sent abroad with the Royal Tank Corps. He sent a note saying: 'Cheerio, til we meet again' and it wasn't until New Year’s Day 1940 that they were able to marry during a 48-hour period of leave. The nearly newlyweds: Dashing soldier Fred and pretty nurse Elizabeth pose on New Year's Eve 1940 - the day before their wedding While Mr Noble served in Afghanistan, India, Burma, the former Ceylon and France, his wife was nursing injured servicemen with the fear that her husband could be similarly hurt or killed. But he returned safely and after the Army became a miner, progressing to be a colliery overseer. The couple had two daughters Yvonne and Denise, four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Devoted: The couple, who lived in Wingate, County Durham, had kept every note, birthday card and Valentine's wish they had sent each other Happy 60th! The couple pose on their Diamond wedding anniversary. Their family said they were comforted by the fact the couple weren't apart for very long Grandson Dr Andrew Rowland, a consultant in paediatric emergency medicine, said: 'They had a loving and very caring relationship. 'They were always together and they lived for each other and for their family. 'They were very traditional and private but having been through some of their papers we can see they cared for each other incredibly. 'They kept Christmas, birthday and Valentine’s Day cards to each other that they sent over the years. 'Having got to the age of 96 and 92, and having been so happily married for 71 years, we think it is quite fitting an end for them to go so closely together. 'They talked about not wanting to go on without the other. My grandmother couldn’t imagine living without my grandfather and granddad had absolutely devoted to caring for her.' The couple received letters from the Queen, the Prime Minister and Tony Blair, their former MP, on their platinum wedding anniversary. Dr Rowland added: 'It is sad for the family, but we take comfort from the fact they didn’t have to be apart for long.' What a sad and happy love story here. Sharing from my kawanku net friend. Sad because their family mourn for them and happy because they choose to be together after apart only for three days. This story remembering me of my beloved parents. Last year my father choose to follow my mother after she pass away for a week. They really loves each other so much that they choose to died together. While they still lives, they went every where together and will quarrel on what to cook for dinner but after that not more than 10 minutes, they two will laughing at each other again. This story as a remembering for my beloved parents. Their first anniversary will be on 24th of December 2011 on Christmas Eve's and 30th of December 2011 before New Year Eve's. Although until today their sad and sweet memories still linger in my heart and mind but I'm happy because they choose to be together in "another world"..... I Love You Papa & Mama!!! by your daughter Jenny ;~D on 15/12/2011~2.31pm.
