Male Helper in My House

2009-11-23T17:03:00.002+07:00

It has been a month since we have a male helper in our home... :-) So we have one maid and one helper now. The helper is about to take care our guest house on week ends, cleaning our house and guest house, taking care of our garden, cleaning all furnace filters, windows, and water torrent. If there is no guest, he stays at our home and plays with my boys. He is such a blessing for us, and we hope he will continue to be like this until the time he has to go someday... well, we realize no one will stay forever, working as helper, right? But as long as he is here, we hope he always does his best.

Now, the boys has a 'big brother' to play balls, bikes, wii... I even told him to accompany Clay to explore our roof... and one day, playing kites just like ordinary boys. Clay was so excited to get up there on the roof and asked me to allow him to do it again and again the next days... so far, I said no. :-) Sometimes it is slippery because of the rain... so I said no.

Rainy days memories...

2009-11-21T17:39:00.003+07:00

Christmas time is near... I already received some bookings to my guest house.. bet myrtle beach vacation rentals are already booked too. It is raining every day, almost all day long, and I love it very much.

I used to make Christmas cards by myself 15-20 years ago, listening to the Christmas songs, and the rain was falling down outside the window... I miss that moment so much...

I try to find some art papers and drawing pen to make Christmas cards, but haven't got the suitable one yet. When I got some, I will ask my boys to make cards and ornaments together, try to transfer these Christmas season feelings to them... :-)

It is important for the children to have Christmas memories, to enrich their life and experiences.

Chit Chat

2009-11-21T09:17:00.002+07:00

After some years I rarely chat with my friends, I begin to love live chat again. Of course because I've changed my internet connection into unlimited one.. *big grin*

I do check my friends whether they are online or not, before I sleep... sometimes I have chit chats with them until late at night. My favorite time is when we have conference chat with some friends... lots of fun fun fun! :-)

I love my computer because my friends live in it, is soooo true!

Good bye, cousin....

2009-11-20T19:24:00.006+07:00

I lost my cousin last Tuesday... He passed away at 35 years old. A great lost felt in our hearts. He is a brother.

On the last speech before cremation, our auntie stated that his story has brought glory to God. Yes indeed...
Though he never accomplished 'success' according to common people's sight, but his life has portrayed God's love and provision. Through his life, we learn that he managed to choose the best choice he could do for his life... he choose to follow Jesus at the end of his life.

His sickness and death was a consequence of his wrong choices for years... but we thank God, he finally came back to God and he passed away peacefully on his sleep... without pain. What a relieve...

Success and achievement in life may be forgotten, wealth such as Couture Jewelry cannot be brought after we died... but our choice to believe in Jesus or not, will determine what kind of eternal life we have afterwards... Glad my cousin did it well :-)

A dream home

2009-11-20T18:55:00.003+07:00

I just find out that we can buy manufactured home and it is JUST GREAT! Wah I wish I can buy one and suddenly got new home brought to the empty land, just like that! It would be really exciting! :-D

Here I am, choosing my favorite model... hahaha I think I love the one with the porch on the front... I always want to sit on the porch. hehehee.. I think Beaumont style is great! 3 bedroom house with the porch!! :-)

What do you think?

Delete anonymous comments

2009-11-20T18:40:00.003+07:00

These last two weeks, I was annoyed with anonymous commentators who kept leaving spam comments on my posts. Tired of deleting them... but I will not give up! I will keep deleting your comments if you try to leave your links on my post comments! :-P

I think bloggers in this circle also have this kind of experiences, don't you? This spammer must blog hop from here to another and keep going... I have no idea why people keep spamming and selling pills like that... I even never be interested in such offers at all. I think they should try to sell Linksys router instead... it's much more useful and interesting!

Sneak Peak of 70x07!

2009-11-05T17:35:00.006+07:00

Ah, finally you can see the sneak peak of the film we've made. *shy shy shy*
It's only a draft, but... I think I will show it to my faithful readers first before I show it to my friends on facebook.... THAT'S BECAUSE YOU ARE SPECIAL FOR ME! Thank you so much for coming here and support me by reading this blog... really.. thank you!!

So, without any delay, here it is.. :-) one a minute sneak peak, but I hope it can make you smile... your friend Trinity has got a chance to be part of this film. :-) Big big thanks to my Big Daddy... God Almighty. This rare experience I got was even greater than orlando vacations do you think so?

Not too bad for the first time players.. all of us here are first timers.. :-D

Never Ending Ideas

2009-11-05T10:10:00.004+07:00

Recently I feel following the ideas in my mind is difficult... feel that time has never been enough. Then I learn that I may not do all the ideas that come in my mind, but sometimes the excitements are too high... so eager as if it can explode my heart. Ideas to write something, ideas to make somethings, ideas to do somethings... and if I didn't do the ideas right away I will forget some of them (especially something to write about), that's too bad.

Last week, my friends and I made a birthday surprise for our friend :-D We made a 30 minutes testimonial video clip, about what we think about him, the memories we had when we were at school, our wishes, including his bad habits. It was fun! We presented the clip on the surprise party, brought a birthday cake and let him blew candles as well.

That's one example of idea I have in mind. Sometimes it took me lots of efforts, consumed so many times to make it come true. That's why I then realize that not every idea should be done, coz I don't have enough energy to do all!

What do you do if you have some ideas... do you strive to make them come true? or do you keep dreaming without doing anything to make it true?

If our brain has a kind of receipt printer I can't imagine how many papers need to print them all.. what are written on it.. but I think this brain receipt printer idea is cool as well!! :-D

escape place for me

2009-11-05T09:42:00.004+07:00

May be I should close this blog.. :-(( I can't take care of it carefully.. hiks.. but there's times when I want to run to a place where no one hear me, I want to write something that no one read me... I remember this blog.. as my escape place..

Yeah I used to use a blog as my escape place. How about you? But then, I make friends, and meet some bloggers and become real friends in life... and some of my friends are my readers too, this blog is not my escape place anymore.. hehehehe... :-P

Anyway, I always need to pour out my mind through writings... I feel good after I write my thoughts. Writing is my need... fat burners are other things.. hehehe

Editing process is finish.

2009-10-16T14:42:00.002+07:00

Got sms, telling me that editing process has done and the actors are invited to Jakarta to see the edited result... Feel scared to see myself on tv ha ha ha ha... today the production team will have a meeting, and i don't feel really well... I will steal a quick nap for awhile to be able to 'fight' for the best in the meeting... hehehe.. yes, I feel this team consumes too much of my energy, more than the shooting process itself! Arrgggh.. lots of disagreements and differences between me and them. I have to prepare myself well enough.. even covered by health insurance like bcbsnc HA HA HA HA

70x07 Film Making

2009-10-14T17:05:00.006+07:00

Just finished my first experience, making a movie... *grin* It is not exactly a big screen movie, but we still can watch it using television... we call it film television... (FTV). Tight budget, tight schedules just like stripping film, shooting 19 hours a day... I have to go home almost in the morning.. 3 am.. 5 am.. 4 am.. It was useful if I have hid kits on my car, so I could see the road far and clear enough.. but I don't have it.

It is a religious ftv, planned to be distributed for newly wed couples. The film, which is inspired by a true story, wants to show that the marriage life is not easy to bear but you will be able to live it.

The trailer will be uploaded on youtube in the next three weeks may be? Not sure... The title is 70x07...if it is not changed.. :-D

This is my first scene... repeated again and again and again.. ha haa ha
I will show you the trailer when it is ready hehehehe... May God be glorify from this film.

Our Adventures Part Five - HK to KL

2009-09-30T19:22:00.004+07:00

HO HO HO HO.... sorry for the delay... hehehe.. This journal is about our last day in Hongkong and our first adventure in KL with blogger friend : Lady Java! *big grin*
The last day we left HongKong was the day when I heard about MJ shocking news! Several days ago I met him at Madame Tussaud and suddenly he was gone.... wew... I really have to find an alibi hihihi

Having a looong holiday abroad need a good shape of spine, as my minor scoliosis was quite annoying.... find a spine surgery Mexico option when I browse, but... I think mine is really a minor one..

Hope you like my journal, and will edit the next journal about my meeting with Joanne later. Wait for the post! :-)

These are scenery I took from the bus on the way to airport...

happy happy happy

2009-09-30T09:28:00.004+07:00

This picture was taken on Clifford's bday and our 10th Wedding Anniversary family celebration... :-) Yes, have been married for 10 years and gifted 2 great boys in our little family. Thank God!
I really wish I could lost some more weight, really want to use some appetite suppressants but I don't really dare to take it too much... anyway, the problem is how to maintain our weight after we loose some kilos.. hehehehe...

Pure Spring from My Heart

2009-09-30T08:18:00.002+07:00

Dear Lord in heaven,
You know exactly what is in my heart,
I wish I can have air filters for my heart so I can always have my heart pure...
Pure in my motivation,
Pure in every concern I give to anybody,
Lord, when it comes to the word 'pure' something will be so serious for me as human being has no capacity to become pure without Divine Intervention...
So please give me ability, make me pure oh Lord...
When You are within me,
a pure spring water is overflowing from my heart,
from my life...
and this thirsty world may rejoice in Your kindness,
and Your Name be glorified.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

2009-09-30T07:22:00.002+07:00

Hallo blog... :-) I am fine, how about you?
Sorry if I've been ignoring you for so long, may be sometimes we need a break and share our heart to something else.. facebook! Mwahahahaha
Facebook has been my favorite toys these months as I found so many beloved old friends from it. It doesn't mean that I leave my new friends okay, I am just so into old days... that's all.. hahahaha

Being reunited with old good friends is something incredible for me.
Good times and bad times, (mostly good times) we had together when we were very young, make me love them more and more each day.

Seeing them in troubles nowadays, really broke my heart. I love them with all my heart and I wanna be beside them when they need a friend. Too many people feel they have no friend to share their pain, but hey, you know what, I also find some people who still feel that they don't need a friend! These last type of friend broke my heart even more! *sobs*

It's really sad to see our love ones walking alone to handle their own life... don't know about you, but I feel really sad if my friends reject my friendship and tell me to leave them alone...

hhhhhh... enough rambling... more posts to come!

2 days in the middle of nowhere.

2009-07-22T12:37:00.003+07:00

Two days ago,I was lying on my bed with my sleeping beloved ones, reading and giving comments in FB via handphone. I am arranging an event, a reunion, and fb is our base for coordination n communication. We are actively communicate with each other in our inbox so that some of our friends are blocked. That nite, i was doing some coordination as well, but suddenly I had to log in again and couldn't do it! My password has not been confirmed! I tried to log in again and again, but I failed.

I was banned! All the memories, funny comments and conversations, pictures, were gone! We don't have term life ins for facebook account, so.. when it was gone, it's gone! :-((

Somehow, I stayed calm. Even in the next morning I didn't feel panic or angry. I believed it was time for me to be silent and examine myself... Time to slow down, and retreat from all the efforts to depend on myself. I believe in my friends, I know that they can work well together without me being there in fb. Most of all, I believe that my God was there, working in His way to make His will come true.

Some of my friends noticed my being disappear and tried to search me. What really touched me was... They willingly supported my effort to get my account back, by sending emails to disabled@facebook.com. Such a kind gesture! They who never tried to send email, learned it and managed to support me, some of them sends many (so many... Too many) supportive emails, they worked hand in hand in a campaign to bring me back!

It sounds so exaggerated indeed, I know, but I don't care! sincerely from my heart I am proud to have friends like them. In my unhappy situation, I have friends who stand by me, walk with me and be there! This has made bad times became precious n unforgettable!

It is proven that when we are hand in hand together, good things happen. Friendship has become more solid than ever. When I have friends, I can stay calm n happy even in troubles.

Last nite, I couldn't sleep because my heart was so overwhelmed by grateful feeling due to my friends' support. I mentioned their names one by one before God, and prayed for them until I fell asleep.

This morning, after I read some verses of my Father's words, I log in the facebook and read a congratulations greeting! My account is back! All the memories, recipe notes, funny comments, before n after pictures of my childhood friends, ARE BACK!!!

I write this note for the sake of friendship. I just want to tell you, my friends, that you have decorated my life with beautiful deeds. Keep giving and sharing, friends... Keep walking hand in hand together, because our life will be much more meaningful with friends around us! Friendship, is a precious gift from Above... Cherish it!

Our Adventures Part Four - Tsim Tsa Shui

2009-07-13T10:06:00.002+07:00

On the third day we plan to visit Space Museum, the place that Clay has been looking forward to visit! We decided to go there on Wednesday as they offer free entrance every Wednesday... LOL

Space Museum was located at Tsim Tsa Shui area, so this was our plan:
- Dim Sum for breakfast...
- Went to Tsim Tsa Shui by Star Ferry
- Space Museum
- Avenue of the Stars
- Symphony of the Lights on 8 PM.

I was wondering why these people watch the news on the televisions eagerly as I didn't understand the language...:-)

Our Adventures part three - Disneyland

2009-07-04T10:05:00.001+07:00

Disneyland Trip! :-) It's the children's highlight... My sister and mom insisted that I have to bring the kids to Disneyland Hongkong. She visited Disneyland before on her Orlando vacations a few years ago. At first I thought Cliff was too little to go to Disneyland and Clay usually refused to see some shows with loud sound and intense plot. However, when we saw the website and the kids love it! Here we go.... enjoy this Disneyland journal!

Disney tickets for 4 of us, with the Symphony of the Lights background!

It's a small world after all... :-) These are for my friends!

Cliff fell in love with this ride ever since he saw it on the website... AUTOPIA. Cliff really loves cars and driving things, so the first thing he searched in the park was this AUTOPIA ride! It was raining when we were driving the car... hihihi....

My thoughts about MJ.

2009-07-02T06:40:00.005+07:00

Reading news of Michael Jackson's death is really heart breaking... This King of Pop is now a legend... we couldn't see his new performance anymore. His life has ended tragically. Some news stated that he died overdosed... I suppose his personal doctor used some medications that were not allowed in FDA. I wonder why he didn't get treatment in drug rehab. May be he thought there was no hope? Not sure... all I know is that once we are addicted to drugs we have to pay the consequences some day... too soon to delay, and we can't run from it, like it or not, we have to swallow it.

Why people still use drugs even though they know it is dangerous? For instant pleasure? For what?
Do they do things because of frustration, confusion and hopeless? So sad...

Life is hard indeed... let's walk hand in hand together to make us strong. There is always a Way, if we willing to open our heart to find it. Just humble ourselves on our knees, and look Above... we'll find the Way and Hope and Life... God bless.

A Side Story

2009-06-30T13:15:00.003+07:00

I forgot whether I have written about the health check at the airport or not... I thought I did... Due to H1N1, there must be many jobs in health care at the airport... They checked our body temperature to make sure we didn't have any H1N1 virus. If you have plans to go abroad, do wear a mask in the aircraft and airport. We never know what will happen, but it is wiser if we take prevention action. If we are caught to have H1N1, we will get quarantined for a week... what a terrible experience!

Below is a side story of our holiday trip... Our activities in the aircraft... :-) Hope you like it!

Our Adventures part two

2009-06-30T13:08:00.001+07:00

Now we fly to HongKong.... the city with so many LCD TV and citylights... We met my hubby's Auntie at the airport and she took us to the apartment by bus. This is the best way to be able to see Hongkong, compared to MTR...

Hongkong was cloudy and rainy at that time, but surprisingly the rain was not too heavy and stopped every time we need to go somewhere... God is really amazing awesome God like I said before. He controlled the weather for us and made our holiday in Hongkong so comfortable! I can't thank Him enough...

I saw 'Chloe' so I remember my friend Angeline Jie... I took this picture for your daughter Chloe! :-)

Our Adventures part one...

2009-06-29T13:00:00.009+07:00

My story began... but first of all I want to say sorry that I haven't post the chup result yet.. may be I should remove that notification hehehe.. My holiday began on 21 June 2009, the trip that was planned a year ago.. before the global economic crisis stroke, before the H1N1 spread... :-)
Anyway, I thank God that this trip could be passed very well... despite of many things should be bravely to decide... we still can afford this trip and God is really good! He provides everything for us, especially things that we couldn't do by ourselves!

I bought this book last year as well, really want to do things in moleskine, and this 'moleskine' is finally written hehehe.. in my style and my version... not as cool as others but I do what I can do. My maid was left at home, and thank God she is fine.. hahaha.. I don't have any home insurance and everything is fine when we back home hihihi..

Ok, here is my notes..enjoy.. and mind my English, I don't care about my grammar too much in my vacation hahaha

You can see how great is the hotel room! Thanks a lot Wendy, who has booked this hotel for us.

See You in KL

2009-06-21T06:19:00.004+07:00

We will perform WHO IS THIS KING CANTATA... and I am so excited. I wrote about this before, that I participate in producing the drama part and the day will come soon! I always put all my heart in drama things and I am very sure that I love theater very much! I love to act, I love to direct, I love to produce, I love to write the scripts, I love to make up the players, I love to make performance concepts... with all my heart! Waaaa I am so blessed because I have chances to participate in something I love, thank you Lord!

Here's the picture I took during rehearsal... we try to freeze like the famous painting.. LOL

ok! Now I got to write a post about another diet pill reviews, see you!

Prepare for KL and Hongkong

2009-05-14T07:55:00.003+07:00

I browse the travel checklist for our trip preparation and I find rv parks. Nice site full of camping information if you got caravan or tent! I love to collect all information about the place we'll visit as we won't use the tour guide. How about you, do you prefer to hire a tour guide when you go abroad? My hubby and I never did that, the only family in our big family who never use tour guide hahahaha.... we really love adventures and we don't want others to arrange our schedules *grin*

Hm, please give me some suggestions again where to visit in Kuala Lumpur and Hongkong. We are 4 adults and 3 kids (8 and 3 years old). Still blank about the itinerary except our blogger gathering! hehehehe....
