Christmas is around the corner

@ Jusco, Permas Jaya

Christmas this year going to be a small & personal family dinner. Nothing extra special. My dear girl already asked for a christmas present and a christmas tree.

Paparazzi or...

Lady Gaga have small fan here under our roof...but i hope she wouldn't mind Yovela modified 'paparazzi' become 'mamarazzi' and 'boborazzi' LOL!
Where did she get the idea, i am clueless. One evening inside car, the radio was playing Paparazzi and she just start to dance and sing along with the song. Of course she only catch the word Paparazzi.
She started to get creative from there. LOL!

LOVE without HOPE

love without hope, as when the young bird-catcher

swept off his tall hat to the Squire's own daughter,

so let the imprisoned larks escape and fly

singing about her head, as she rode by.

"...just let me go if you can do me right."

Girl in Sexy Qi Pao

Moon Cakes, some free hong bao from McD, Jusco, etc...,ornamental flowers, pomelo & mandarin oranges.

POMELO bought from Kulai...tsk...went so far coz want to look for pomelo with its stem still intact. i accidentally dis-intact a pair of pomelo and get away with it. how do i know you're not suppose to handle the fruit by its stem! Soo sorry!

Happy Chinese New Year 2010

Xin Nian Kuai Le

Qong Xi! Qong Xi!

Serendipity

do you believe in fate & destiny?

do you ever wish the angel on your shoulder do more that just watching you make mistakes?

do you ever ask God why this happen to you?

do you ever wish you can turn back time and make all the better decisions?

Monday morning with a surprise

My baby woke up 530am and cried looking for her daddy.

'mummy...papa nar?' warh......*cried*
I hug her hoping that she'd sleep again...but i still can hear her sobbing quietly.

I just can't sleep after that. I never ever thought my baby would miss her daddy so much!
We woke up again at 745am and i made milk for her to drink and told her i'm going to take a shower and she need to finish her milk. She nod. I kiss her on her cheek. As i walk towards the shower, she screamed for me 'mummy! mummy!...
i check on her in the room and she was crying! And again, asking for her daddy. sobbing...
'mummy, papa nar li?' it felt like getting a brain freeze and a heart attack at the same time. but i keep my cool...and...
my standard answer is : papa is working, ok darling?
usually, she'd just nod her head but this morning she roll her body to the other side of the bed and sob...
i hope she'll be fine after playing with her friend, ying xin and her nanny.

SmilE!

All smile...

This is Jalan Tan Heok Nee
my baby girl
two dahling of my life...

Yovela : The meaning

Name : YOVELA

Origin : Hebrew

Meaning : Rejoice

I looked for her english name for months and from A to Z before she was born. While her dad would think of her chinese name. Before we settle with her name right now, her dad actually had another name for her THIEN RUON YIN and i was about to settle with AMY. But it was not finalised. I felt RUON YIN is too 'heavy' on her. So we kept on searching. Finally i found the name that suits her surname THIEN and her new chinese name YINQ QIAN. I'll ask her dad the meaning of her name later. I forgot the meaning.

Ipoh, Perak

The place we stayed..Ritz-Garden hotel... the one with bright pyramid roof
Ipoh have many abandoned shophouses
old time design

trying to open the lock

never fail to amuse herself with the mirror

Ipoh is an unbelieveably quiet town even during day time. Just came from a big city and 6 hours later arrive in Ipoh is really a calming experience. Especially after we almost lost in KL road [ i was not the one driving. LOL ]. I heard a lot about how calm & peaceful Ipoh was, i just can't believe it all until the recent visit. WOW!

Restoran Chun Hui, Muar

taking these pictures while waiting for order to come

waiting...
the signboard.on the way down to jb from muar town

*peace*

their kitchen

Muar Specialty ; Otak - Otak. another dish shown here is the fried fish. This fish is so familiar but i forgot the name. Ikan daun kah or something like that...coz of its shape.

Sambal Udang & Sotong with Petai. Unbelieveably spicy until it taste bitter. You'll sweat & cry at the same time. In Muar, the chinese eat like the malay. Eat spicy food also...

The Assam Pedas Fish...minus the Pedas Gravy. We ordered the spicy gravy separately...for safety reason.

Muar Assam Pedas Fish! Spicy!

The Operator

On the phone with her Aunt Bb. Seem to have a lot to talk about. LOL!

A day in a life of Yovela Thien

Talking to her Aunt Bibi in KK.
She think she look funny wearing my scarf. LOL!

My adorable baby! Mummy loves you sooo much!

She can't stop laughing!

Still can't stop laughing.

※My Love※

My love, we have seen it all
The Endless confession,
The rise and fall
As fragile as a child
Lately I’m sorry I can’t hold a smile
But I stand tall to get by
No matter how hard I try to hide
Did you know
I take the time for you

Did you know that I would see you through

Did you know that I would play the part

I must’ve made it clear right from the start
My love, can you give me strength

Somehow I forgot how to ease my pain

I know I’m right where I belong

Something from nothing never proved me wrong
But I stand tall to get by

No matter how hard I try to hide

Did you know I take the time for you
Did you know that I would see you through

Did you know that I would play the part

I must’ve made it clear right from the start
I would shade my whole life with you

Would you do the same for me

I would give all I am to you

Would you do the same for me
And I will stand tall to get by

No matter how hard I try to hide

Could you see I’ve been brave

Did you notice all my mistakes

There were times I could feel you read my mind
Did you know I take the time for you

Did you know that I would see you through

Did you know that I would play the part

I know I made it clear right from the start

Kampung Teluk Jawa Seafood Restaurants

Seafood restaurants along the coastline. If you notice high building on the background far behind is Permas Jaya area. By the time the coastal highway connecting Pasir Gudang to Johor Bahru, it will only take 10 minutes drive to Permas Jaya compare to existing road ( Pasir Gudang Highway & Old Masai Rd ) which would easily take 20 to 30 minutes!
Few more seafood restaurants
Some sort of sea crickets

Our favourite seafood restaurant. Good & Cheap. But already closed. No more. This is the place we held Yovela's 1 month old dinner.

Night view here is very beautiful with all the decorative lights on. I suggest to come to this place earlier so you can watch sunset.
