Perfect cute shots

Oh my...it's been quite a long while since I last blogged huh?!. And now I'm trying to get back to blogging about what's happening around me...trying hard actually.

Anyways, I got tagged by a friend of mine in FB (Aviebunny - I tell ya, she's a good photographer...she shoots like a pro) on this lovely photos of Carmen playing bubbles during a garage sale & food bazaar event held earlier this year. I was selling bubbles to kids at that time...and Carmen is so-called a freak in playing bubbles...that she just can't stop blowing bubbles the whole day...at that time and she stole like about 6 bottles of bubbles from my garage sale corner.

I didn't notice (but I know..of course she will) that Aviebunny (real name - Ms Clarvie) took photos of some kids including Carmen that day...and here's a beautiful shots of Carmen by Aviebunny - I so LIKE! Simply PERFECT shots of Carmen and her bubbles:)




Many thanks to Aviebunny!!!!!

My most favourite people!

They are none other than my two beautiful kids - Carmen Jewel and Chardon Tristan the loves of my life! And I'm so glad that finally Carmen starts to appreciate Chardon as her little baby brother and acting like a good sister.

Here's a very recent picture of them - my fav one! Carmen is 4 and Chardon @ 8 months old. Their smiles just melt my heart away....


I felt so blessed!

Anyway...happy weekend ya'all.

Quote for the weekend #2

Weekend is here again...how time flies huh! I've nothing much to say for now but share a latest picture of my two precious people (Carmen & Chardon) appreciating each others company and two lovely quotes I liked..here goes:

"Never ignore a person who loves you, and cares for you. One day you may wake up from your sleep and realize that you've lost the moon while counting the stars"

- Unknown

"If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less but to dream more, to dream all the time." - Marcel Proust

So happy weekend again people - enjoy it with a blast!

Art & Ghost

I drooled like a fool when I stumbled on this awesome blog ' Art & Ghosts' by Louise Robinson via decor8. I really heart her works - her art prints is one of the cutest ever! And I loved how different, eccentric, cool and SO creative she is - she's like the modern day Salvador Dali that her arts has some forms of surrealism touch. I really liked how she described herself - so unique! (Hi Ms Louise, I hope you don't mind me blogging about you & your beautiful works in here - I'm your biggest fan!).

If ever I want to write a children story book, I would love her to be my illustrator. My propose titles for my children book will be like 'The little girl who's afraid of the moon' and 'The girl and the mannequin' - sounds a lil weird too huh (?) and it's related to my lil girl, Carmen. Well, this is just a dream away.

Her lovely working space - I liked!

Two of her many cutest prints that I adores:

Just looked at what she reads - interesting books (see her reading list here)....no wonder her works of arts is different, so one-of-a-kind, strange & mysterious, beautiful, etc (I could go on and on just praising her works).

The Treasure of True Friendship

The greatest treasures are not gold

Nor jewels, nor work of art

They cannot be held in your hands

They're held within your heart

For worldly things will fade away

As seasons come & go

But the treasure of true friendship

Will never lose its glow

I took this words from the 'Tinkerbell & The Lost Treasure' movie. My Carmen is a huge fan of Tinkerbell and she watched the movie (1st & 2nd part) a few times and she wanted me to watch together with her (me too liked 'Tink'...hehe) - that's when I got this cool little poem!

Well people, weekend is here again - so have a cool weekend ya!

Fun family Get-Together at the 'Kampung' home (14-15 Feb 2010)

I was too busy to post this up last Feb. My dad came back from Penang for the CNY holidays and we siblings decided to celebrate his belated 60th birthday on 14 Feb 2010 (1st day of CNY & V-day) at our village home in Kg. Rani, Tenghilan (where our real home sweet home is). Each of us siblings contributed what food/drinks to buy/prepare/cook. It was really fun - of course besides taking photos together, the best part is when it comes to eating time. We had cakes, steamboat, ice-creams & etc. The next day we family did a short trekking through the jungle to a mini waterfall at Dondomon River.

These photos tells.....

Lovely shots by Jerry Kennedy (Debbie's fiancee) - love it!





And photos from my digicam....




My little nephew...Chrissie's Arwen

The next day...

Early morning mist and the beautiful view of Mt. Kinabalu in front of our kampung lawn


It's Carmen's 1st jungle trekking and she enjoyed it (good exposure)


Pregnant and still able to do jungle trekking...lucky I didn't slip crossing the little rocky brook. Really missed those old adventuring days.

Carmen with her aunty Debbie



Swimming at the river...the water was icy cold...Carmen was shivering but she didn't want to get out of the water.

Looking forward to more family together-ness like these this year:)

At 16 Weeks

It's been awhile since I last blogged huh? Same story - it's either I'm too overload at work or lazy/no inspiration to blog. Anyways...I have not being doing much of 'me' time lately (as in doing some creative thingy) - I got tired after spending half a day during the weekends layaning my CJ, since she's becoming more of a fussy pot, a rascal but getting smarter and listening to her singing to tinkerbell's songs. But it's joyful fun just being with CJ!

Well...finally here's photo scan of my baby:) I'm at about 16 weeks preggy and he or she is starting to move actively inside my belly - so happy to know that he/she is growing healthily. I'm trying my best to STOP eating chillies for now (which sometimes I can't help myself) - just to avoid the rashes on the baby's face when he/she comes out in May next year (ha!). By Jan/Feb, I'm looking forward to know on the baby's gender, it's still too soon to tell right now.



I'll be back here soon...looking forward to go watch a movie tomorrow (escape to the cinema again) - New Moon or Ninja Assassin. I still feel the strong impact after watching 2012 - I might take leave on Dec 12, 2012...wakakaka.

Welcome Arwen Aedell Joseph!

I have a new nephew - so happy! My younger sister, Chrissie gave birth to a beautiful baby boy yesterday, 20 Oct through c-sect operation after being induced 3 times...I can imagine the pain she had to go through:( Glad that she's such a strong mama! She named her newborn, Arwen Aedell and he's quite a chubby one - he weighs 3.4kg. I kept thinking how cute Arwen is the whole night...can't wait to see him again this weekend. Pictures of him later ya...my digcam was out of battery yesterday so I might grab some pics from my bro Del or Chrissie soon.

Well, here's chrissie & her husby, Joseph before she meletup...


I thought of waiting till the 1st trimester (3 months) is over to reveal this...okay..here goes my share...I'm about 7 weeks pregnant now with my 2nd one. I'm still having that so called 'morning sickness' but not too bad....and sometimes I have 'evening sickness' (funny). Anyways, both husby and I are excited and happy that our Carmen will have a little sister or brother again by next year (expected due date - 1 day after Carmen's bday but will see?) I missed wearing those high heels but what to do I've to wear flatties now - sigh.

CJ's 1st pedi and manicure

I know I'm one crazy mama who put on blue & green nail polish on her child's lil fingers & toes and thinks that she's her cute but naughty-sweet lil devil.

Carmen got her 1st pedi and manicure works on her fingers and toes a weekend ago at an unusual time for a toddler, which is past midnight. (I know its crazy). She woke up in the middle of the night, can't go back to sleep and kept disturbing me (like pulling my eyelashes & pinching my nose & mouth - gosh just had to layan her then). So I did this on her...I was sleepy so it's abit messy. But guess what...she loves her blue nail polish just like her idol the cartoon character 'Coraline'.





And I did mentioned in my earlier post that I bought Carmen a cute Adidas shoes from the pasal malam...here's a pic of it..pinky cute isn't it and it only cost me RM20 after pleading for a cheaper bargain. It looks comfy on her feet.


And again I'm quite a sweet bully to my lil girl...I bought her a lil devil hairclips (I bought her a lil devil hairband last X'mas) and she likes it..she keeps looking in the mirror with her devilish facial expression.




Anyways, CJ is always the love of my life...she's my cute, smart, sweet & pretty baby girl! She's very, very camera shy and she seldom smiles but this time she smiles at the camera with a lil make-up on.


Tomorrow will be her 'child dedication' service in church, so I'm gonna clean away that nail polish (hehe).

Have an enjoyable long weekend/'Hari Raya Puasa' holidays.

XOXOXO from Mama Rock!

Cute Homes

This is a long overdue post but I still wish to share and put this up on this online journal. Anyways, My family and I had a getaway trip to the mountain side (Kundasang area) during one of the August weekends. The weather was pretty cloudy and there was a lil downpour. So we could'nt even view Mt. Kinabalu and the trip was just okay. But what's interesting was we visited a mini resort called the Kiram's Village where they have cute chalets for rent. I told my husby, if we were to build our own family vacation house someday...I want a cottage-like home like one of those chalets/cabins. So cute! Here are some photos of those cute homes...



















Before we reached Kundasang, we stopped to have lunch at the Bamboo Restaurant to have one of our fav family dish - the chicken tuhau mayonaise. The food was not as good as before (dah merosot)...and they should hire a better chef. No wonder, less people are going there to eat.

Will plan another family outing sometime in the future and this time we'll spend the night at Kiram's Village.
