Maggi Mee beats Char Siu Pau up until it had bruises on its pau body.

Char Siu Pau loose the fight and went back to tell all the pau family;- kaya pau, tau sa pau, curry pau, and etc.

So together, all the paus went to find Maggi Mee for revenge.

On the way... they met Spaghetti.. so all of the pau members ran to Spaghetti and BEAT the hell up on Spaghetti, that Spaghetti can't say a word,

Spaghetti then scream... 'What have I done??? I don't even noe you all'...

Then the Char Siu Pau said.. 'HEH! MAGGI MEE!' Don't think I can't recognize you after you do

Happy Moment At Pizza Hut

My son tells me he wants to eat PIZZA. All my kids love pizza so much. I always remind myself.. I want to learn to bake pizza (anyone out there who have pizza recipes pls share it with me ya~) Everytime when my parents are at home they will prefer to eat home-cooked food. Since my mother got hypertension, diabeties & high-colesterol, she have to watch her diet. She can't take food that taste sweet, too salty or oily.

When my parent are not at home or away for holidays.... jeng~jeng~ my kids will be happy because they can eat outside and get to eat their favourite fast food and hawkers food. I bring them to have their favourite pizza at Tesco Pizza Hut yesterday. I found that the food there are not warm enough. Maybe they got less customers there and the food they have prepared no customers order it.

The interior design of the place are not too bad but the quality of the food are equal important to me. I also found that their Pepsi drink not cold enough and taste not the same like we drink straight from the can. Anyway, we like the Hawaiian Chicken Extra Cheese pan pizza... that's hot and taste great.

Some pictures to share here ~
posing with little toy doggie while waiting for the food
have his soup (i shot this picture without flash to see the outcome of the pic)
beautiful lamp and mirror decorate on the wall (shot without flash also) garlic bread .. bread not hot enough .. (snap this pic without flash also)
dipping the bread in the soup and eat ... (natural light pics..no flash also)

eating there is quite costly RM60.40
Hawaiian chicken extra cheese pan pizza - regular size (no flash)

she just like to pose for me ... hehe ~


All those pictures are not editted. I just resize and post it... I'm still in learning stage to take good pictures with my new FujiFilm baby.

I don't like to use the flash unless it's really needed. Pictures taken with flash on will make the pictures look too bright and flat or the face look shining.

Rainy Day


It's been raining these few days. I like raining season but I hate it when I have to sent or fetch my kids from tuition or school ... haha~ Raining means no sun..omg, I really enjoy the cold weather to compare with the hot sunny day.

Last night, it's been raining heavily till most of the lower ground flooded. It's really cold and I dont even have to switch on air-cond to sleep. Another thing I like when it's raining is... I dont have to water my plants..haha~ what a lazy me ya?? hehe...

The first picture above I snap when I was on the way back from buying roti canai for my kids today and the second picture is snapped when I'm on the way sending my daughter to tuition just now. Both pictures are capture using my new FujiFilm FinePix camera without flash.

Did you all like raining day? ^ ^

My New Toy


Yesterday, 7th October 08 (ninth day of chinese nine emporer - vegetarian day) I got myself this new baby FujiFilm FinePix F47fd.

Why I choose this cam?? and not other brand which look nicer and more famous? Oh well,.. can u see in the poster I post up there? The numbers written in RED? ~lol RM699 only and I got some discount from the shop I bought and at the end it only cost me RM600 with free soft casing, the LCD screen protector and 2GB SD card, why not?? and it's quality of pictures can compare with those brand which is more expensive.

I will prove it with my pictures later on. This cam really delivers the pictures I want and of course I can't take the pictures to compare with the pictures I took with my DSLR camera. The main purpose I bought this camera is to bring it along with me everyday ... follows me to wherever I go so that i can just snapped whatever I like all the time. I can't always bring my big camera and big lenses to all the place I go.
So, this camera will come in handy when I want to snap pictures. Let me share with you all the specs of this baby.
  • 9.0 MegaPixels
  • 1/1.6-inch Super CCD HR
  • 20.7 x Total Zoom (3 x Optical, 6.9 x Digital)
  • up to ISO2000 on Picture Stabilization/ Natural Light Mode

  • 15 kinds of Scenes Position including Natural Light & with Flash
  • Picture Stabilization Mode

mm,..not bad ya? I will snap some pictures with this baby to show all of you. It captured very nice macro pic also.

Good Morning!

Ya, I wish everyone's having a beautiful Sunday. In Alor Star our holiday falls on Friday & Saturday. Sunday will be a working & schooling day for the kids except for certain companies like the bank they will have their off day on Sunday. So, Sunday is a working day for me ... *SOB* ~

I'm busy and don't have much time to update my BLOG. Not to say to edit and upload the pics. I don't do much editing to the pictures, just auto-contrast, adjusting the pic exposure & resize it.

Here is another 2 more pics to share. For sure more pictures coming up & I'll post my son picture soon . . . Enjoy !


I like this picture of my elder daughter. Her smile so natural ya?? Due to the bright day, she can't open her eyes big ~ hehe..
*please click on the pic for larger view*

This is my younger daughter. Actually this is not a good picture. The composition of this pic can still be improve but I just love the grass background in the pic. Very beautiful right??

Actually doing a photoshoot with kids really test our patient. Try to imagine. Apart from doing the photoshoot, we have to teach them how to pose, style them (keep comb their hair for a neat look**) and they will give-up very fast. We have to be fast before their mood comes and they refuse to take pics ald ~lol * So, be prepared to take their candid pics when they are in bad mood.


When doing a photoshoot with kids :

  • Make sure you have their favourite drink & food along.
  • Wet tissue.
  • Comb, Kid's Hat (it helps when they starts to sweat and this is use to cover their ugly hair)
  • Extra clothing..
  • Their favourite toys
  • Some candy or lollipop ~lol
  • Paper fan.
  • Umbrella.
  • Tiger balm or any kind of oitment (when they complains of pain or itchy)

I hope the above info might helps those who want to do a kids photoshoot ... ^ ^

Cheerz !

One Picture First . . .

One week long Raya holidays. My brother and his wife came back from Penang for their Raya break so, we decided to do a photoshoot for my kids. I want to take nice pictures of them and make a photobook for future memory so that they can see how they look like when they are still a kid.

I wake up at 6.45am to prepare their breakfast first before I wake them all up at 7am. After shower and get dress. We are ready for the photoshoot. I go to my mother house to fetch my brother and we go to 2 different location. First location is a place with all the long and hairy grass (very perfect place to take pics), the second location is a garden beside a river.


I post one picture first, more pictures on the way ~
Stay tuned!!!

THEY LOVE IT !

I LOVE ICE-CREAM!!! . . . my kids too enjoy ice-cream. I'll make sure to get some different flavour ice-cream whenever I do my shopping for grocery. After a day out under the hot sun, it's really nice to have 2-3 scoop of ice-cream to cool us down. I like the CHOCOLATE flavoured ice-cream and I also like the Baskin Robbins Strawberry Cheesecake flavour.

Today, I snapped some pictures of my kids when they are having their ice-cream.


pose for me before enjoying his ice-cream .. .
it's finger licking good.. ^ ^
haha..sleepy eyes (oh no mommy, the sun is too bright~)
*i'll eat the ice-cream after finish taking pics..**
mommy,... faster, i can't wait to eat ald ~
oh.. my ice-cream melt already **

I have tried green-tea flavour ice-cream at Jogoya (a japanese buffet restaurant in KL) it taste heavenly nice. I also love to have ice-cream while watching my drama ~ hehe! Did you all like ice-cream too?? What flavour?

Drink More Water !

I got my princess these lovely water bottles when I bring them to TESCO yesterday. In order to encourage them drink more water, I bought this bottles for them. I ask them to bring their water bottle along wherever they go. Both of them choose the design they like and I just pay for them. They like the bottle comes together with a straw.

As soon as they reached home, straight they go and wash the bottles and fill it with water. They drink their water happily with their new water bottle ...
(not a bad idea to encourage kids drink water ya!! )

Bags I Bought In Vietnam

I have been to Ho Chi Minh & Hanoi, Vietnam several times. What I like about this country are their coffee, handicraft stuff, textiles (cloth for making dresses), some kind of food which I found them very unique. As promise, I want to show AMY the handmade bags I bought there when I was in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh. All these bags really cheap and the quality are not BAD.

Black & white checked box bag with wooden handle. I bought this in Hanoi.
This bag is quite big as I can put in many things in it including my big DSLR camera and it only cost me USD 8 around RM28 .. cheap or not?? Dinner bag. I bought this when I was in Ho Chi Minh. It only cost me USD 5. It's all sew with tiny beads. Look quite elegant. I bought 5 at one time and I get more discount. I present it to my sisters in law and kept 2 for myself.
