Birthday Charm for My Mom

It’s my mom’s birthday tomorrow. When I was just a little girl, I used to make really fanciful birthday cards for her. I remember carefully cutting out cards in different shapes and colors, and creating different effects that pop out when you open the card. I also made many ridiculous-looking handicrafts out of cardboard and colored paper. As I grew older,... Read more →

Christmas Lunch with My Family

There’s no better way to spend Christmas than with your own family. This year, I had the heavy responsibility of buying the Turkey, since obviously no one at home knows how to stuff one.As it turns out, the art of Turkey stuffing is lost not just with my family but also at the place where I got the Turkey — the stuffing did not taste good! But! I’m... Read more →

I Have Graduated!

Yes it’s over. It really is. After 15 years of slogging (or rather slacking), I am officially no longer a student. I have finally graduated!The commencement ceremony was held yesterday night. I was dead beat the whole day from not having enough sleep. Luckily my boss allan was kind enough to let me leave work early. Phew! So I rushed home, got my gown ready, and... Read more →

Mother’s Day 2006

As mentioned in the previous entry, I got her one of those exquisite... Read more →

These cards are valuable only if they are maintained in their unused condition. The value of an extremely rare set of cards can be inflated up to many times its original value, fetching up to hundreds... Read more →

Hello people, I’m back from relative visiting in Pengerang. I actually came back a day earlier than planned because I intended to complete some work over there, but forgot to pack my laptop charger. (we go to Pengerang every year so I didn’t really take many pictures this time. For more pictures of Pengerang, see these posts from last year’s visit: Pengerang... Read more →

Happy Birthday, Mom!

So don’t worry, it wouldn’t be the last you see of her; she would be blogging again soon! I’m not doing too well.

Pengerang (Day 1)

I woke up on Wednesday morning feeling all tired because I didn’t get much sleep at all. Did some last minute packing before we drove off to the Changi ferry terminal. My relatives live in Pengerang which is along the south-western coast of Malaysia. So taking a ferry there would be much quicker as compared to driving across the causeway.The Changi ferry terminal... Read more →
