Sad......

Today, I felt very heavy in my heart. All things seemed to had fallen in front of me, and it seemed to be telling me "Stop being a baby....start growing". I know I am old and there is alot of things in life had started to change. I must learn to accept changes, being good or bad. I quite hate it, in fact.

I had not stopped whinning over the lost of my baby, though it was only 7 weeks only. But being married almost 10 yrs and this was my absolute first pregnancy.....urghhhh........

Upon all this, Raymond isn't well as well. I expect a surgery will be done on him. Just wait till 17th Sept and see what doc says.

Pa is still recovering from his operation. Later in the months, he will go for his colonnary scope. Hope all goes well too.

Mom's eye seems to be recovering, but very slowly. Also got to wait and see.

Today, we all recieved news about Lucy. She had stomach cancer and had it removed. But according to her doc, the cancer cells had spread into her lymph nodes. She only has about a year to live. No one dares to say a word to her about it. But I feel she has the right to know. What so you think?

Praise Lord

Last Sat, 11th Sept, brought my parents to church in Parkway Parade. It's under the Touch Minstry and the invitaion was sent by Kelly. They had enjoyed the service and of course, all the singing by Pan Xiu Qiong. They even agreed unaimously that Pastor Kong is very convincing.

This is my first time joining in Cantonese and Hokkien service. I never enjoyed so much in church. It just felt so good. I know I should make time to church, but I am just too lazy. I should pluck up and get on with I know what I am suppose to do.........

Our Shadows

We were at Eastshore Hospital visiting granny. On our way out to carpark, we saw our shadows and decided to take a pic of it.

His Favourite

What is my husband's favourite food? Abalone.
This is something I created........double boiled abalone, steamed prawns and scallops, all tossed in a bowl of abalone noodle.

Is Life in Your Hand?

There are people saying that their lives are in their hands and they can control everything. True? I used to believe so. But after so much of experiencing of trying to be pregnant, I don't bleieve anymore. I felt my life is in God's hands. How much I have? How much I earn? How should I live? How should I die? What is my career path like? What kind of life will I have? It's all in God's hands. I can choose to make more monies but somewhere it will leak out from my pocket. I can choose my career but I may not get job satisfaction I want. So what make all these happen?

God is our Father. Always to believe that your Father will not be out there to harm you. He will do His utmost best to protect you. But Satan is just as strong. He will find all means and ways to make your life miserable. So how? Praying faithfully is the only way. As long as you are faithful and respectful to God, Satan will find it hard to come into your life. Why? Cause your bond with Father is so strong that no one can break them easily.

With my buddy being cured from cancer and my aunt suffering from cancer now, I can only say that I had seen how God can work. Prayers are so powerful and God will definately hear us. You don't need to use bombastic words, just simple words and He can understand how you feel and what you want. Just remember, PRAY.........with a faithful heart!

Bangkok again.......2010

Here we go again........ We had enjoyed Bangkok so much that we decided to go again, but at the wrong timing!! The REDs are everywhere, every corner of the shopping areas. However, the situation forced us to explore into other new areas. Good or bad? They are like locusts, swarming every around. Their protest will only start when the night fall. It is scary and I thank God that Singapore is peaceful.

Nevertheless, nobody can stop me from shopping. I manage to go to Or Tor Kor and Union Mall. Or Tor Kor is a bit like Chatuchak. The only difference is that it is not so big and you won't get lost so easily. They have plenty of fruits, cooked food, raw food, BBQ food, etc.......How to get there? Take BTS to Chatuchak station and change to the underground train(MRT) to Kamphang
Phet Station. This depends whether you are near BTS or MRT. The MRT station is just at the door of Or Tor Kor.

These durains are gigantic and the skin is very thick. The stall holders will have to use a sharp knife to slice off the skin bit by bit. Thais like them about 80% ripe, but we love them at 100% ripe. When they are not fully ripe, it is quite hard. But when it is fully ripe. it is sweet and very creamy. Really yummy!

Fresh fruit and vegetable juice are easily available. I bought lotus root juice. This is good for my gastric problem.

Union Mall is very much like Lucky Plaza. Lots of small shops at great bargain. It's just that you have to be petite in order to buy clothes in Thailand. You can go into any malls and they will turn out to be the same. If you are on the heavy size, it's really hard to buy the clothes that you want. What makes it worse is that some stall holders will not allow you to try on. If you shop around Union Mall till about 4.30pm, the Pasar Malam outside the mall will soon be ready.

MBK was also open on the second day of the riot. I guess all tourists must be happy at that moment, just like me. It was flooded with locals and tourists cause Siam Paragon, Isetan, Central were closed.

I found a nice little shop selling shoes. They are pretty and inexpensive. It range from 199baht to 399baht. I took some pics of a few of my favourites in a corner of the shop.

I also manage to find some delicacy. Well.....I call them delicacy cause you can't get them in Singapore. And it seems you can only get them during certain season....

What are they????????????

Bamboo worms, crickets, grasshoppers.........mmmmmmmmm.............yumm....ooooooo

Bangkok 2009

We manage to get offer tickets from Tiger Airways. It was a very early flight and it was good because this gave us more time to move around in Bangkok. We got a limo taxi to bring us to and fro the airport. It was having an offer, so we paid about S$70 for both of us. The limo taxi is clean, comfortable and prompt.


I got the hotel from Agoda.com. I chose Grand Diamond Hotel Pratunam. It was cheap and it was near all the shopping areas that I wanted.

The hotel is old but very clean. I felt they were thoughtful in many areas. They were happy to let us used their shower room in the gym when they knew our flight was later in the evening.





There were alot of changes in Bangkok. They had developed quite a few shopping areas and still coming up with more soon. There were more Thais who were able to speak better English too. I was also fasinated with their services. They were pleasent and full of smiles. It was never too bothersome to them to explain their goods and we not buying in the end.

But for this holi, we explored more on Siam Paragon. We had heard quite a bit about it before we went.

Most of all, we wanted to try out their cinemas. Wow!! was the first exclamation that came out from my mouth. It was so beautiful and they had all kinds of cinemas.....all under one roof. 3D, special seats and normal ones. Of course, we tried out the special seats. Each costing 600baht which is about S$30. But all the money is worth it for the comfort and experience.




This is the main lobby tickets were available.



Around the area......



But for us, we purchased tickets in this lounge. There were drinks and cookies for us before the movie began.



There were the kind of seats we wanted......





He will not miss going to this temple. There were so many people in this temple, and I have to admire the dancers doing practically the same dance over and over again in the hot weather and having to wear the traditional dance costume.....Salute!!
