Down Came our Mango Tree :(

Dad decided to cut down the mango tree and build a bigger roof around the house, mainly as shelter for rain. Felt rather sad about cutting it down as it has been a part of our home all these years and bears good fruit. But sometimes need to sacrifice some temporary stuff for more permanent stuff - many a times like our lives, i.e to undergrow some 'pruning' to grow better, or to better prepare for permanent things. Neways, I'm thankful they didnt cut all the way so it still has a chance to grow back again. I hope it will bear better fruit in the future. Also, I'm thankful for a dad who takes good care of the house and our family... always preparing things for us.

Rather admire this Indonesian worker. He is fast, hardworking, not greedy and doesnt complain at all. The tree was full of red ants. It took him many rounds to cut down the whole tree and he did it with very positive attitude. And when offer coconut drinks, he didn't take it. He just take those we give his boss and drink it when they are back. Really hard to find workers like this nowadays.

had some fresh coconuts after work... from our garden too

beautiful, perfect

Scrapbooking Stores in Malaysia

Last updated 14th March 2014 I first did this research back in 2008. I was very surprised and excited to find scrapbooking and craft shops blooming in Malaysia. I'm still grateful that we Malaysians are able to have have access to buy these supplies today. I hope we will be able to get more and more brands into Malaysia. ^^ I don't mind sharing these info as I believe "Sharing is Caring" and I would love to see more Malaysian crafters coming out with lovely production to enhance our local crafting market. Also, I hope you all would pass on the information to other fellow beginners ^^ Anyways, this is a recent update I did of the shops I know/found. Don't think its complete though. Some are shops that I've personally found and visited while others are from research and some are recommended by friends or readers of my blog. And from my very own personal experience, some of my personal favourite shops (in no particular order) are as belo...

The Power of Positive Thinking

WARNING: This is a Looooooong Post :P I'm reading a book titled "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale. Actually this is a book i bought on 20th July, 2002 and didn't finish it for some reasons that I don't remember. Then lately, out of the blue, I took it out to read it all over again, hopefully being able to finish it this time :P Neways, that's the history of the book and me. I'm at chapter 2 now and I came across a very unique practice of a man. It reads: It is possible, even in the midst of your daily work, to drive confident thoughts into consciousness. Let me tell you about one man who did so by the use of a unique method. One icy winter morning he called for me at a hotel in a Midwestern city to take me about thirty-five miles to another town to fill a lecture engagement. We got into his car and started off at a rather high rate of speed on the slippery road. He was going a little faster than I thought reasonable, and I reminded h...

Special Commemorative Cover of President Barack Obama

Got up early today to que for this - Special Commemorative Cover President Barack Obama’s Visit to Malaysia. President Obama will be the first president of the United States of America to visit Malaysia in nearly half a century (44 years) after President Lyndon Johnson’s visit in 1966. This edition is only limited to 25000 copies nationwide. Miri was only given 30 copies. Dad was the one who told me about this and drove me to buy it. We went out before 7am, had breakfast and bought some vegies/meat at the market while waiting for the post office to open at 8am. Enjoyed spending that time with Dad and I'm always touched when he drives me around to run errands. He helped to que too and in the end we managed to get two copies ^^ I stamped my planner too :p Isn't it lovely? hehe.
