She has been pretty healthy and happy baby, I guess sleeping most of the time helps so I can still do some chores around the house. Borned October 29th at 9.23pm and weighing at 7.3 lbs at Jordan Valley Hospital, UT.My sister Melanie is here with kids and hubby, most interesting thing we did were making kolo mee, kueh tiaw,

Meet our new family member, AhMeng. I think he is a ragdoll breed, not so sure. But he does has blue eyes. I adopted Ahmeng at 4 months old when I myself was 4 months pregnant. Larry being away travelling 85% of the time, sometimes I do get stressed and one day I thought to myself I want another cat that is affectionate. I made the right choice by choosing Ahmeng. He is so adorable and very

These pictures were taken in March 09 and sorry that my belly hasnt shown yet. I am a month pregnant when we took this picture but Yuri is as tall as I am. He is taller now and has his braces on with some pimples..........my boys are definitely growing too fast.

School is out, boys are having fun, Unfortunately I'm so busy at work. Stressed out, forgot to eat and drink, end up losing weight when I should be gaining. Even think of work while Im in bed. Asked myself a couple of time if its worth it to keep this job or keep the baby healthy? Although I had to remind myself to take breaks in between and snacking while working. I guess its hard to

Looking back when we first moved to Texas on March 6th 2006, I was going through depression. Being away from my parents and siblings was such a horrid feeling. Through those rough times I met a good cowgirl Mary. She is such an angel and she definitely help me through my rough times while we were in Texas. She showed me that moving away from my family and to a new place and meeting new people

Seven weeks went by but felt like 7 days. My sister and her kids came to visit us for this winter, keeping me company since Larry is always on the road. It was such a pleasure to have them here and actually have someone speaking iban to me whereby I dont speak iban for months. I guess, I should have teach Larry the language but then I wont be able to curse or say something bad about him when he

So much for a relax sunday afternoon eventhough I had to do some laundry. The next thing I know when I tried to get in, the room was locked. But no worries, I got some keys, any of them should work. Yea, I thought it would and it should but it didnt. Somehow the key just wont work! By looking at the picture I guess, you could have guess that was the only thing I can do right now.

After making so many jewellery, earrings, bracelets and necklaces and I dont get any satifactions anymore. I decided to take up glass bead making class. To make my very own beads. Its a great experience when you have your own beads and make your own design. Full satisfactions! Knowing that we are moving, I cant commit to get tools for the glass beads. I would need my own space in the garage too.

Ever felt tingly, butterflies in your belly and sometimes agitated, even by little things. Scared, nervous and anxious at the same time being here with my kids and without my husband. Larry took a new job in Minessota and he is in Germany at the moment for few weeks and here I am stranded in Utah with my boys. We have put our house in the market for sale and hopefully we could sell it soon so we

The Mormon Temple, The Church of Jesus Christ of The Latter Day Saints. This is the view outside of Zions Bank where I work at the moment. Views are breathtaking even though it was kinda gloomy that day to take this picture, facing north east towards the Great Salt Lake. The huge dome is the Tabernacle, where the famous Tabernacle choir are famous for. Amazing huge display of the organ and a big

One of the first few snow storm we had weeks ago, Yuri and Keizer had fun shovelling. Today, I told Yuri to shovel, he hates the snow. Getting tired of the snow he said, can't wait for summer to be here. I gotta tell ya, I'm beginning to enjoy the snow not the cold but just the snow. It is beautiful here in Winter, Spring, Summer and even Autumn. The view is absolutely picturesqueThis view is

Where else can you get the Polygamy Porter if not in UTah?! Freshly brewed and packed in Utah. We just had to try this dark ale just because the name sounds kinda interesting or whatever you want to call it but its not bad actually. I preferred Dead Horse dark ale. Sounds even more unappealing but its better than the porter.Yeah, why have just one? Bring some home for the wives?!

3 weeks ago I decided to go skiing after being harrassed by my hubby who always tried to trick me of going skiing. Finally I said OK, I'll go but then never ask me again if I want to go. But what do you know? I enjoyed it! No doubt I fell and lost count of all my fingers and toes, hurt myself pretty good and oh man, my tail bone. I realised at this age, at my age hhmm.......I figured out that I

September 2007 marks a year of our stay in Utah. Thanksgiving Day was really a day we ought to be thankful and remembered the tragedy that happened when we just moved here. Its beautiful in Utah and so many things to do and see but our hearts are left in Texas. It was a bit quiet and lonely when family are far away, especially when Thanksgiving Day, it was just four of us enjoying the huge

Being in the Humane Society for months, Kiezer didnt get much chance to walk and run outside of his kennel. We are in a process of moving into

It has been so cold lately. Very unusual year they said. The temperature has been below freezing for many days now. But when the first day the snow storm came, bunch of birds outside the apartment made plenty of noise while they were playing with snow. It seems like they are rejoicing the winter weather.

I never thought The Great Danes would get this big. These well behaved dogs were with their owner who is also one of the pilots. Usually walked his dogs when he is not flying. We wanted to have a dog but I dont think we would get as big as these guys. :)This dog with Yohan is almost blind but doesnt make him any different from the others. Also love to be pet.

Ever think of flying? Not fly like a bird but paragliding, hangliding perhaps? Utah is one of the most unique place in the world to do this because the wind is very predictable. Larry took paragliding lesson in Australia 3 years ago and bought his own equipment there. One of the thing that attracts Larry to Utah, I guess. Yesterday afternoon we drove to the point where they had flying session

September 22nd was the end of our old life. Ever since the incident happened, it brought my family closer and more appreciative with this life. We basically move in into our new place with empty walls but starting to fill it up with basic things.We are very grateful to all the people that had help us at this moment and all the support that we’ve received.

Yuri's first started practice about 2 weeks ago. With no knowledge of rules and any of the tactics and tecniques, all he knows that he is suppose to hit somebody and chase down the opponents with the ball. Yuri's team are kids between 9-11 years old and under 80 lbs. I had so much fun watching them during their practice and infact last Saturday was Yuri's first scrimage. He made a kicker and a

Pictures tell you the stories. This pictures was taken in April but it still happens as of today. I guess Jesse was curious about the internet as my boys are. Every now and then, I had to go to 'history' of my boys log on, just to make sure that they dont go to explicit sites. You never know what kids nowadays can do with the internet tech. Everything here in America is about internet, I guess

A friend, a tutor and a mentor to my son Yohan, master of Sape', bark painter, a warrior dancer, a blowpipe marksman, an excellent wood carver and a great lute maker. We truly adore this man and his tremendous work on art and our culture. Yohan is a big fan of Jerry Kamit who is also a pro Sape' player, since I have his cds and so after learning classical guitar for less than a year when he was

Puteri,ThankYou for the package. My kids and I were excited to see the stuffs inside. As soon as my eldest saw Bak Kut Teh...he asked me if I could make it for lunch. And so I did. It tasted like heaven. Ya know after a couple of months not being able to eat Bak Kut Teh, I was quite pleased. It was such an ignorant of me not to check at the front office earlier.

The historic Battle of The Alamo took place in 1836. The year before, Ben Milam led Texian and Tejano volunteers fighting for Texas Independence, against the Mexican Army who had been stationed in San Antonio and at the Alamo. After 5 days of fighting they forced the Mexican soldiers to surrender. The victorious volunteers then occupied the Alamo as well as other parts of the city.In February of

The world famous, thats what they said. The Riverwalk in San Antonio has a pleasant landscape. Feels like the lost world in the middle of the city. Nothing like Kuching waterfront where its shady, surrounded by trees and tall buildings like The Westin and Hilton, it has its own attractions. Sikda boyak lah! There are ducks though.

One of the most favorite thing that I love to do is shopping. Not window shopping nor shopping for cloths, perfumes and etc BUT I love grocery shopping. Shopping for veges or other perishables items like fruits, fish or meat. What seems to amazed me about veges especially? Great displays of different colorful veges of course. One of my favorite market here is the Whole Food Market . I could spend

Full of pain and agony and disappointments only by me and only to me. I felt bitterness!If Im given a choice, to stay or not to stay. To migrate or not to migrate?

Cool glasses kids! Those are actually a 3D glasses, only to be used in the Imax Theatre located at Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum. Last Sunday, we watched the Deep Blue Sea, narrated by Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet. With the 3D glasses it makes things larger and closer that you think you could grab. With great digital surrounds, it makes the movie so real as if you are diving underwater

Im glad I have Laksa Paste at home. Talked to Puteri the other day about making Laksa herself, thought I wanna try it myself too. Turns out to be not bad at all!! Im a Laksa freak, so Im quiet fussy about my Laksa. Not that my Laksa is so great but being so far from Kuching and I can make something similar to Chong Choon Laksa makes me happy enough. Mathew knows !!??Hmmm......Yummy!! Does that
