星洁陪外公在屋前马路边摆档卖榴莲和红毛丹。
星洁看到客人把榴莲放进车里，脸色顿时变得很伤心，说：“不要把榴莲放进车喔！”
榴莲卖完了，收档回家了。星洁幽幽地说：“榴莲卖完了，我没有榴莲吃了。”
外公安慰她说：“家里还有。”
星洁没睡午觉，到了傍晚‘电池’快消耗完了。外公抱着累得快睡着的星洁，正要哄她入睡。外婆一句话：“星洁，吃榴莲啰！”，星洁挣扎着起来，哭说：“我要吃榴莲。”
外公开榴莲，喂星洁吃了几粒。外公递了一粒榴莲果肉给星洁，问道：“你要自己拿吗？”
星洁伸出一半的手停住了，说：“肮脏。用手拿。”（意思是用手拿，手会弄脏）。结果还是外公喂。
榴莲吃了，是时候睡觉了。星洁讨奶喝后，倒头就睡了。

Where is your mum?
This morning after sending Xing Jie to our neighbour next door, Alex and I walked to the mini lorry which stopped by in front of a house around 30 foot steps from ours. It is a "mobile vegetable lorry" (In chinese term, we call it 菜车). The couple sells vegetables, fish, prawns, beancurds, onions, barley... all common food that a housewife would buy to cook at home.
When Alex and I were selecting and buying things there, uncle asked:"Where is your mum? Have not seen her for quite some times." I was surprised:"You remember my mum? She is in Singapore now, taking care of my brother's baby." "Of course I remember her. She always come buy things carrying a baby."
Then uncle asked why are we not working on Monday. We told him we are now taking leave every Monday. He understands it is due to economic downturn and shared with us his story. He was working for people when his 4 children were young. There was times when he couldn't find any job at all. He couldn't sleep at night thinking about no money to support family. He even went to Singapore for work but eventually decided to start own business to have more secure income. Now his eldest son is 21 years old and the youngest daughter is 13. I can see he has found his way out.
Which parent doesn't love their children? We can do anything and try all ways just to provide the best to our children. Children give us strength to go through the toughest moments in our life.
Is there a difference have or not have child after getting married?
Yes. If you have your own child, you will understand your parents more. There is more reasons for you to be matured, responsible, be a better person and a good example because your child will imitate all your actions regardless if it is good or bad.

A quiet morning
It is 7:47am, a Saturday morning.
It is still very quiet.
Probably most people in my neighbourhood are not working on Saturday, and they are still sleeping.
I am going to start making noise by putting clothes into washing machine, and preparing porridge for Xing Jie.
We are supposed to go back to Port Dickson today to visit dad. The last time I went back is the 7th day of Chinese New Year. My dad is staying alone at home now with 3 dogs and flocks of chicken. My mum will be back soon by middle of March.
Alex expressed his feelings of going back as 'boring, nothing to do there'. I agree. No internet connection, no Astro. No cinema. No shopping mall. No badminton. If he wants to go fishing at the pond, he needs to hunt for lizards first as lizard is the favourite food of the fish in the pond.
Sigh... since when going back home visiting parents becomes a burden?
I wish that when I get old, I am still healthy, have my own circle of friends and have enough money. My children will not worry about me and just go and do what they want to do.
Usually women live longer than men. If husband pass away first, the wife have no acompany in her old age. Loosing a life partner is very tough especially for an old woman whom her life was solely around husband, children and work. A woman should be cautious not to fall into this trap.

Puppies
Mimi 米米 and Coco 可可. Obviously, they are named by their fur colour.
Both are male dogs. Migrated from Ipoh, Perak to Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan. Thanks to my housemate who generously offerred the puppies and picked the best 2 out of 4 male puppies for us.
It is easier to snap Coco than Mimi as Coco is less active. Mimi has a big ass and Coco, a handsome face. Like any other puppies, they eat, sleep, shit and play everyday.
My parents love them very much. They will be their good companion while we the children are all working outstation and unable to acompany them everyday.

Prayers for Mary and Hooi Ni
Today is second day which Mary is infected by denggi. Her situation got worse. The bitter gout with frog soup does not help much. Alex and I prayed for her, and also asked my sister and bro-in-law to pray for her.
Lord, may you heal Mary and may she has fast recovery.
In the other hand, Hooi Ni is hospitalized this morning, and has born to a healthy baby girl weighted 2.84kg through caesarian. Praise the Lord!

Spins like helicopter's tail rotor
This photo was taken on 4-Sep-08.Cynthia has attempted to turn over her body several times but failed. In the photo, she was spinning her right arm while sitting on Alex's lap.
After almost 3 weeks of practising and trying, Cynthia can finally turned over her body! I think she changed her mind. Instead of right arm, she uses her left arm as leverage.
This was how Cynthia turned over her body (recorded on 22-Sep-08):
Good spirit of never give up! Keep it up, Cynthia! :-)
Singapore trip 21-Sep-08
We took 2 days annual leave, travel to Singapore by bus together with mum and Cynthia to visit Choy and Ni. On Friday night, Ni insisted to cook dinner for us. We had 4 dishes, all delicious. On Saturday night we had steamboat at home, Sunday night had dinner at Chinese restaurant.
Ni will be delivering a baby girl end of December this year. We should have taken recent photos of Choy and Ni, and all of us together for our memories, but somehow we didn't. I am wondering why? Maybe we tempt to forget or care less about people closer to us (especially family members) when we are seeing them frequently... Anyway, didn't take family photos doesn't mean we care less about each other. Instead it shows that we remember each other's face too well until we do not need a photo to remind us how each other looks like! :D
Photos of Cynthia were taken in the shuttle bus from IKEA to Tampines Mall after had lunch at IKEA. There is one MOS Burger store in Tampines Mall. Both of us couldn't forget the taste and the fresh lettuce since we tried it for the first time on December 2006. Probably one day we will try to make similar burger at home... I think buy is faster :p
We also took this chance to visit Atai's God sister Stella. They haven't met each other for 17 years! God mother (in Fu Chew language "ken neh") went back to Sarikei since June. No chance to meet "ken neh" this time.

Visiting My Sister
Photo taken by my 6 years old niece when visiting my sister during the 30th July Negeri Sembilan public holiday.
My niece's school art work. 
Another school art work. So cute!
My niece showing Alex how to play the skate. Becoming a mother
In the photo: Alex (the father), Ying (the mother), Cynthia (the daughter)I'm mama Ying. I am confirmed pregnant (as the Malay says:"sangkut") on August 2007 after we tried for 6 months.
I delivered after staying in the labour room for 6 long hours. Alex was by my side, giving encouraging words when I struggled to push out the baby. The blood from the cord splashed to everyone (Alex, doctor, helper, me) in the labour room when the doctor scissors the cord.
Alex took MC the next day after I delivered Cynthia due to exhausted taking care of everything.
We give thanks to the Lord for giving us this precious gift from heaven.
