Hot Wheels

Every now and then B and I would mention about how fun it would be, if we could just leisurely cycle around together. So during our trip to KK while my in laws were looking after the kids, we managed to do just that and had such a good time (although my leg muscles were aching). We enjoyed it so much so that even after we got back to KL, we couldn't shake off the thought and thats when we decided that we should probably get a pair of bicycle. And besides being able to spend that time together, we'll burn some those calories as well! Not a bad thought afterall =)

As I was pretty tied up with the kids, B went on his own in search for our perfect set of wheels. And at the second store he set his foot in, one particular bicycle caught his attention. According to him, he immediately knew that it was "the right one" for me. It was a brand new Garion that looked very elegant with it's slim lightweight frame(which also makes it both durable and hardy) and finished off with a touch of classy white paint. He was right.... I love it!

8th Blessed Years



Today marks the 8th year of my marriage and I have so much to be thankful for. I trully thank God for  blessing me with a wonderful husband. For his love and companionship and for accepting me for who I am and understands me for what I am. My prayer today is that God will continue to help and equipt me to be a good wife and mother and also bless us with many more years together as we continue this journey together as a family.

Guest From Penang

My lovely cousin is in town with her family. In fact, she's on her way here this very minute! It's always a joy to have someone come visit and the boys are definitely excited, knowing that they'll be having a lot of fun playing with one another.

As kids, Lin and I we were not very close (to be honest, I wasn't close to any of my cousins from my hometown, Penang). Sure, there was the (not to be missed) annual Chinese New Year visits and all, but somehow there just wasn't much of a connection between us. As I recall, I would even put up a fight with my parents and then show a sour face just before we left for visits. Perhaps what made things worse was also the fact that I wasn't able to converse in my mother tongue back then. It was quite embarrassing. But you know what? Through the years, as traveling became easier and more efficient, my family and I we were able to make more frequent trips back to our hometown. And in time, I've developed a very special relationship with my cousin. Most important of all, I've changed... I've learned the value and have come to understand the importance of being a part of a family and hopefully I'd be able to pass that down to my little boys.
