Another Day at my Mother's

Dropped by mother (Ben's grandmother)'s place today. Of course, Jack is always around during weekdays. Ben usually loves Jack as sometimes he will say, I will to get/buy this for Jack, etc...etc...but when he is there, aiyoh! the snatching starts. I think I have wasted so much saliva on telling Ben, snatching is wrong. :(.... Jack with my mother. I think Jack was moving around and that is why his part of the photo is a bit blurrish.

Ben eating his biscuit. Sitting on the lazy chair...love this chair which is almost extinct already...! It is the most practical chair, better than Ikea's one! When I had just given birth, this chair came in handy due to its flexibility - the back can be adjusted a few levels up and down. And so cooling too since it has gaping holes.

Both of them together on the chair.

Ben trying to get off the chair...

.....ahhh...he found a suitable spot at last. It will be Jack's 3rd birthday soon! Sister will be having a birthday bash at her house. Will get photos and blog about it later. :)

PUP Jude part 1

Jude is a relatively short epistle but so much meaningful and impact. If you were to look through the whole letter, you would noticed that there are 4 groups of people (marked these 4 groups of people in different colours) and these are to be noted about the 4 groups.

(i) Jude - who is the the brother of James and half brother of Jesus ( Why half? I always thought that it was because father Joseph passed away but no, it is because Jesus was conceived by Holy Spirit, hence half-brother!). He referred himself as a bond-servant of Jesus and the meaning of of bond-servant is one who volunteers himself willingly to be a servant. The Greek word for this is Doulos (yes, like the name of the ship!)

Why is he writing this letter? Because it was an appeal the the CBK (second group of people) to fight for their faith. against the ungodly people

(ii) CBK - the recipents of the letter - the people who are Called Beloved in God, the Father and Kept for Jesus Christ. The CBKs are the ones who are receiving multiplication of mercy, peace and love from God.

(iii) the ungodly ("UG) - who has crept into the group of CBK. Jude was warning the CBKs to be careful of UG by comparing the UG with the Israelites who escape Egypt but did not make it to the Promised Land (do you know how many people actually managed to make it), Cain, Balaam and Korah.

(iv) the others - those that have doubts, those to be snatch out of fire and those to be given mercy.

What impacted me the most is that not all Christians will go to heaven and that made me worry about my own salvation. I like what someone said before - Christians are saved by grace to do good works. Being saved does not give us a license to continue sinning but we must bear in mind that we are still living in this imperfect world. We must hold on to our faith in Jesus Christ until we see Him.

Stuff I bought

Wanted to blog on some thing different. Just to show that stuff I buy. Yes, I do quite a bit of shopping on the internet and my favourite site is lowyat.net. :)...Since I cannot seemed to do much shopping with an active boy around, I have turned to internet shopping. Found quite a lot of stuff which is cheaper on the net. Skincare/clothes/bags are mostly from Taiwan, Korea or China (but this country is mostly bags or clothes - remember milk scandal?). I love browsing them so much! :)...release stress. And it is soo addictive. Hehe.....

Well, recently I bought another Rootote Bag.......I have been carrying a few around with me the past one year. Each time, it gets kind of "used up" (no thanks to spilled milk/water)...I get a new one. :)...I think this is my third one already. I saw that Isetan is selling Rootote Bags as well but around the range of Rm50plus. I got this one for only RM30 plus delivery was Rm8 (Poslaju). Since the seller (http://www.styles4u.net/index.php) was also selling skincare, I also bought a sample set to try at RM37. This brand called Beauty DIY from Taiwan. Nowadays Taiwanese skincare is popular and they have a sifu nameNiu Er who recommends certain products.

Ok, now to my stuff.
My beautiful bag...of course, it does looks boring with just lines and no pictures .... but lately has been feeling kind of old and has no interest in pictures of bears, balloons, etc...Oh yes, this is Japan product but made in China (of course...what do you expect for RM30??)...

What so special about the bag? It has a Roo Pocket which means an additional pouch with zip at the side. I find this very useful to put my car keys instead of rummaging inside the bag for it!

...you can see the pouch here....

The skincare set I got. Pretty cute bottles...need to find out from seller why the cleanser feels hardened...? I cannot seemed to get it out of the jar. Maybe need to add water.
...nowadays go for facial, beautician always said my skin is dehydrated.....so must put more mask....with hydration.

Random Thoughts

Today I was in Midvalley with Ben and he kept insisting on having pie, pie, pie! To give you a bit of background, this morning he was watching a cartoon called Word World and the Pig character was baking pies.

So, I went to La Manila and wanted to tah pau the pie. The guy asked whether I want to heat up the pie at home? Since it did not sound so nice to be heated up at home, I thought we should sit down to eat it there and then. It was lunch time and I thought, hmmm...the pie looks kind of smallish. So ordered fish and chips instead.

Pie came, he took a few bites and then he did not want anymore. Fish and chips has not yet arrive and knowing him, I am sure he will not eat anything except the chips.

I was like..."what the...xxxx????"....what am I going to do with so much food??! So waste money.....So angry! Haiyah! It really is one of those days for me.

So I am just releasing my stress here. Who said stay at home mother no stress? Yah...like I am shaking my legs at home.

Anyway was looking through my photos and saw this scenary.....take deep breath and relax....

..and see my little one's photo, help me to be grateful for what I have.

Then a thought came to me....I should know my son better since I spend so much time with him. Does he eat anything besides rice or biscuits or ice-cream or anything sweet? No! Then why in the world did I go and order something which is out of the ordinary for him? Even though he insist on trying a pie, I am his mother and should have told him no.

I should just have share the pie with him. Another lesson to learn is dont buy food when you are hungry. :)

Lazy Sunday

Today is lazy Sunday after a week of activities. So have a look at my lazy boy in his pajamas.

Sungai Tekala

Friend recommend Sungai Tekala for the waterfalls. So one of the weekend we take a ride there, thanks to hub's GPS. You would really need that as this place is not easy to find. We used the Ampang way and from there, we can see a nice scenary of the city as the car climbed higher and higher the mountains there. Beautiful, eh!You can see Ben hitting at the sand straight away. Putting on his swim-suit. One cannot be too careful about water safety...but later we found that the water level is really lowwww...so took out the floaties.

Walking with Daddy....

Using the pumper....he really loves the pumper.

Playing with some friends he met nearby.....more like disturbing.

Caught a fish.

All in all, we love the place. It is not far from our car park place and shaded with loads of trees - making it a cool place to spend time. The only cons about the place is that further upstream, there were many groups of people and one group was busy washing each other hair with shampoo! Yes...so we could smell the shampoo as we were downstream. Sigh...how in-considerate can you be, right?!

Another Baby

I am an aunty again. :)....so proud! This time round, my cousin sister has just given birth. Look at the cutey pie below.

Look at this photo.........I dont know how to put it both together side by side. The bottom one is Ben! Yah...they look alike eh?! Husband said they come from the same mould...except whether they got more hair or less hair. Ke ke ke......
