my cutie ^^

I love kids. I really love them! I don't know why and I can't explain. It's just in me. And all my best friends have told me so many times throughout different phases of my life...

"Go make one yourself la Jo...
stop harassing people's child~!"

OMG!!! How could you say that? Just because you find them little-annoying-creatures running around and always at your way!? ... Doesn't mean I cannot love them right...?

Anyway I had a full day with him today! my cutie cupcake sugarpie pumpkin bunny kenny rogers! Argggghhhh~!!!!!!!!

Watching him the way he is just makes my day and I find him really cute when he smile. hehe =D Right now at this age he's playing real hard to get as he learnt now to recognise his parents and his nanny. So whoever that's not familiar with him is going to be tough. I'm one of them sadly. oH, he've just learnt how to walk too. And he's always very busy walking anywhere and everywhere. haha...!

The busy walking boy!

I find him quite perasan cos he knows I'm taking his pictures.
He will willingly smile or show his face towards the camera -.-

This is a very pathetic shot as he was felling a bit annoyed
cause it was his lunch break and it's feeding time~!! and his meal was not ready yet.


I felt pathetic too, carrying him.
He started screaming and shouting to get out of my grip!
So sad =(


This shot was taken when were heading for lunch
and he was comfortably sitting at his throne...heh...so cute =)
He was busy making funny noises and indicating he wants to talk.


To my horror, 3 minutes later - DOOM!!so fast wei...
babies will always be babies. And that makes them cute!
I guess he must be very tired because he was busy walking the whole time in church.

And this is a very funny video I took of him. He was hanging by a moment wanting to sleep but it just doesn't happen for him and finally he slept...!! He keeps noding and waking up but yet trying his very best wanting to sleep. LOL.

BROADWAY PARODIES lagi-lah~

happy happy happy~!!

Never had so much endorphins in me for a while, at least for this week. I was in KL PAC @ Sentul, yesterday with my family happily laughing away watching Broadway Parodies Lagi-lah. It's a live musical comedy drama show about Malaysians, on what we do best - eating, spending money, shopping, the lazy lousy government, stock market, pondans and calling people bodoh~! It was so funny and I actually missed their first show last year when they did it in Bangsar Shopping Centre, but am so glad that I manage to watch it this time round. It was such a stress reliever for me personally cause I was so so sooooooooo stressed at work, and once I was there it was like from the start of the show till the end it was endless laughing for me. thank you Jesus~!!! wahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......................................!!!!

our tickets - 6 of us went
(Uncle Andrew, Aunty Margaret, Aunt Eileen, Melissa, Aaron and I)

we were both so excited and can't help but
to camwhore in the car first =P

before the show we wallop dimsum at a nearby stall @ Jalan Ipoh
so yummmyyyyyyyyyyyy~!!!!!!!

the pathway to the entrance of the building


I love the concept they used - it looks like a run-down place with its unfinished job

this is it!

joker cameraman - Uncle Andrew
(he was saying something really funny about a family joke and everyone started laughing)


the auditorium


we're not allowed to use any camera in the auditorium =P
(that's why so dark cos no flash~)

Eileen (mom's sister) and I

During the show we're actually forbidden to use the camera. I was trying to be sneaky and took a shot. Few seconds later someone is already flashing the red laser light on my camera~

my one precious shot:


so happy and so jolly =)

pissed

one thing

Currently (repeatedly) listening to One Thing:

One Thing

One thing
One thing I desire
One thing I seek
To gaze upon Your beauty
Your majesty

In the day of trouble
You cover me
In the secret place of refuge
Lord I will sing

So I pray to You
So I pray to You

Lord Your Name is higher than the heavens
Lord Your Name is higher than all created things
Higher than hope
Higher than dreams
The Name of the Lord

All I want is You
All I want is You
Jesus

banana cake

Last week was extremely hectic for me. On Friday evening while driving home from work, I received an SMS from this person. It reads;

"Remember to check in the fridge. Got something for you there."

Wondering, and knowing the person I am, my mind went very far. I was thinking what would be in the fridge for me.

When I reached church for Life Group, I went and see, guess what? It was my favorite banana cake!! Gosh I've been longing to eat that for a long time. Just that I don't know where to get that particular one. The cake was nicely wrapped and with a heart-warming note attached on it:

And the banana cake (after I've eaten like half =P)

That made my day =)

and YOU really made my day! =D

say NO to work on monday!

This is the one sickness that I cannot overcome until today:

MONDAY BLUES

Though I've been working for 3 years now,
I still feel pathetically lazy, moody and lethargic on Monday mornings.

Guess the heavy weekend has taken its toll on me.

argggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~!!!!

Ah-Ma

I love this picture. my grandma and I are so pwetty =D

Everyone in the Teoh family. only missing is uncle Mike.

I went home for Ah-Ma's 74th birthday. She's so happy cause all her anak-cucu-cicit went back to celebrate with her. Was a planned trip and we tried to keep it as silent as possible from her cause we want her to be surprised. She really was and can't stop smiling over the weekend.

Ah-Ma took care of me since when I was a baby till I left for KL to study. Sounds a bit emo but I know will really really miss her someday when she's gone. She's my big fan cause I'm her only grand-daughter. She spoils me with everything I want when I was a kid, and still is. All her grandchildren are boys. HAHAHA.. that's my edge being the only "girl" in the family and sometimes that's how I get my way around too =P In many ways Ah-Ma has shown me how to love without bounds. There were so many occurrences that she has shown that she loves her grandchildren to the extent of spoiling them and that she would do anything for them.

When I was a kid I know I drove her up the wall so many times but she still love me the same. I still remember once when I was a kid, my mom wants to cane me for my misbehavior, Ah-Ma came and she wanted to "rescue" me by asking mom not to cane me but ended up mom got so upset with her and they got into a fight because she doesn't like people to interfere when she's disciplining us. During schooling days when I come back home from school I know for sure my good lunch will be on the table because Ah-Ma cooked for me. She knows my favorite dish very well so everyday she will try to cook my favorite food. I love her steam egg-pork and stir-fry ginger chicken. During school holidays she'll take me to the cinema together with Ah-Kong. They're one hot couple ok. They still go to the theater dating after many many years being married (because I know most couples don't). Before taking me to the cinema she'll dress me up in pants so that it's easier to walk me around. I can never forget those times. And many other times too, when I was already in college, whenever I'm home for a break she'll give me money. Ah-Ma knows I like to sleep too. When I'm home during those college breaks she'll make sure the TV is not too loud so that I can sleep longer. Until today when I'm back she still treats me the same.

In April 2002 Ah Kong passed away due to a heart attack. Everyone went home to pay their last respect. I can still remember the event until today though many years had passed. The sorrow and grief she went through during the mouring period was painful. I know it's a deep cut that she will remember forever. One morning I saw her crying beside the casket of her beloved husband, knowing that the man that she've spent her life with is no longer mortal. The loneliness and years ahead that she have to live by, alone, is so uncertain. No words can express her loneliness and fear on what lies ahead. But I always believe that to every goodbye, there is a hello waiting. Yes, she bid goodbye to her husband, and that was the time too, that she said hello to her Creator. She discover who was her Saviour during that moment of loneliness and grief. Now Ah-Ma is a believer and she's strong in faith. At times when she knows I'm down and all, she'll in return encouraged me with her faith.

I'm so blessed beyond words. I truly am.

Now that she's old and her movement is slow, I just pray that God will give her the strength to move about and preserve her life many many more years until it's time to take her home.

I love you Ah-Ma! =D
xoxo, your favourite grand-daughter

sometimes

I feel like a mashpotato today.

Woke up late for work.

Never ending work in the office.

Deadlines.

Deals!

Haven't hit the gym regularly for the past 3 months.

Have not been doing my quiet time regularly too.

So many concerns in life. It happens sometimes. But which one comes first? Which to attend to, so that I won't neglect the other? Which to do first, so that the others will fall in its place at the right time? Which choice to make, so that I won't regret the other?

Which one, Papa.

Came across this poem today, sent by a dear friend. Sometimes.

Sometimes you gotta run away

So you can see who will run after you.

Sometimes you gotta talk quieter

To see who’s listening to you.

Sometimes you gotta step into a fight

Just to see who’s by your side.

Sometimes you gotta make a wrong decision

To see who’s there to fix it.

Sometimes you gotta let go of the one you love

Just to see if they love you enough to come back.

And I would end that with this line:

Sometimes I wish to escape reality,
so that God can show me His fantasy.
