What do we have here?

Looks like something is happy munching my plants away. In a close inspection, I founf the culprit, one small green grasshopper but one with a huge appetite.

After the photo shot, I left the grasshopper with the plant but it disappeared the next day. Most probably looking for better plant to munch.

The love of my life

Here they are.....Hubby, Ryan and Caitlin.

Besides them, I am also blessed to have loving brother, sisters, cousins, aunties and all my in-law as loving extended family.

They make my life complete.

Cailtin, bring out the food

Here are pictures of Caitlin sitting pretty, waiting for her food in restaurant and she loves dining out.

She's much more adventurous compared to the brother when it comes to food. Unlike her brother, she will eat any thing you give her and when she's full, she will just shake her head to tell you that she had enough.

Looks like the girls in the family will be huge while the boys will be skinny.

Mid-Autumn Festival

It's about family gathering and eating mooncakes. Kids will have fun lighting up and carrying their lanterns while the older ones will have fun playing with fire (see picture).

We were at my in-laws for the mid-autumn festival and as usual, we ate until our hearts content before calling it a night.

Books Warehouse Sales

This is the my first Pearson Book Warehouse Sales and it will not be my last.

We bought loads of books for everyone, even Caitlin. It's really worth standing 4 hours browsing through the titles. I now have 6 months worth of books to read.

Life is good.

Ryan's 7th Birthday

We had 2 celebrations for him. One with the family and the other at his daycare. Of course the enjoyed the latter more as he was surrounded by his friends. It was a simple celebration and it was good to see he and his friends enjoying themselves eating and chatting.

He's still into Pokemon and hence he choose a cake (from Secret Recipe) with a picture of Turtwig. I was surprised as I thought he would have opt for Ash with Pikachu. Nevermind, as long as birthday boy is happy. The chocolate cake was very nice.

As for his present, he asked and we got him a set of 3 red coloured bakugan battle brawlers. He was estatics, so needless to say, he's one very happy birthday boy. And we hope he will happy and healthy for many, many, many more birthdays to come.

I am in control

The last few months were tiring and challenging. Work is as hectic as ever and deadlines are deadlines, period. It's not only work......I feel that I'm letting others and situations to dictate my emotions....and yes, this is bad. Generally, I just feel as if I'm no longer in control of my own emotions.

However, my aha-moment was during one of my conversation with my better half. He said "you are a victim only if your allow yourself to be one". (Adapted from a quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt; "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent"). I thought about it, long and hard. He's more objective than me as I'm more emotional...and yes, he's right.

That was a few days ago and I am slowly getting back into my old routine....deadlines are still deadlines...yes, but something can wait.......and that includes my blackberry.
