Celebrating Mother’s Day & popo’s birthday

dixonthum
We had a Mother’s Day-cum-popo’s birthday celebration yesterday in Legend Hotel. It’s her 70th birthday. So much memories flashed back in my mind whenever I think of popo. She’s a super lady who’s taken care of her children, grandchildren and even others’ children very well. I still remember the time when I was small, I always liked to go to her house and play. There were so many sweet memories. She’s also a great chef! I love her cookings so much. NO one else can beat her. (really, NO ONE!)
 
3 generations… 三代同堂
 
Popo and her birthday cake… It’s shaped like a peach (bought from Bread Story)… 寿桃蛋糕
 
A basket of red eggs… chicken and duck eggs to be exact… 一粒鸡，一粒鸭，活到一百！(Cantonese saying : one chicken egg, one duck egg, live until one hundred of age)

It’s a Lazy Day Today

A view from where I’m sitting at now…
 
Mein is working this weekend… "All by myself… Don’t wana be… All by myself… anymore…" (Mulalah tu, sesi karaoke SS dia)…
 
Well, it’s been quite some time I did not give myself such free time to hang around in the ‘hot’ juicebar in the gym… (hot due to air-cond problem)… with Mariah Carey’s latest songs playing non-stop at the background… (which is quite annoying though)… Anyhow, managed to catch up some updates of my frequently-visited blogs… Quite surprised to read Wilson’s blog… Thanks for the special mention and I will still continue haunt you, don’t worry ya! ; ) BTW, Wilson my next run would be on 27 March 2010 in Cyberjaya. Yes, the Energizer Night Race 2010. I’m looking forward for you to join in the fun any time soon…
 
Also got to know that AprilCherrie has got her second child (a boy) already… She’s someone I do not know and I’m sure she doesn’t know me… But I started reading her blog for quite some time already.
 
I can’t imagine how long it’s been not reading people’s blogs daily… I used to do that last time when I was more free… I’m now fully occupied at work most of the time and I’m enjoying such life though. At least I know I’m not a lazy pig in the office. Haha! (Siapa makan cili, terasalah pedasnya….)
 
I guess it’s time for me to go now. Enjoy your weekend everyone! Adios~!

It’s 3D for Alice in Wonderland

dixonthum


Finally, we went for a 3D movie – Alice in Wonderland… It’s not our first 3D experience but it’s our first 3D movie… We’ve watched 3D & 4D’s in Singapore when we were traveling in Sentosa last time. Not so fancy about 3D effects though. We find the first few minutes of the movie was heavily loaded with the "real-life" effects but later throughout the movie, the effect faded and it’s like watching 2D as usual again (with a blue + red glassed on!)

Hey, it’s us in 3D glasses!

Satisfied?

dixonthum

I was walking passing a convenient store just now and I saw a mother holding her child’s hand. Judging by the clothes they were wearing, they do not look rich. There were dirt on the child’s clothes too. The child pointed at a little bag which did not look appealing to me, signalling to the mother asking her to buy it for him. It’s green coloured bag with cartoon prints on it. The mother looked at the bag for awhile, considering to buy it for him or not. It might not cost much but it took a while for the mother to decide. I suddenly felt so touched with this scenario. Well, you might be asking what’s so touching about it?
 
Looking at the incident, I asked myself, am I satisfied with my current living? Is everyone satisfied with their own life? I believe a lot of you might be having so much dissatisfaction in your current life. But what about those who are less fortunate than us? You might be chasing after an LV bag (or other branded names). But have you ever think of those who do not even know what is an LV? All they know are paper bags or plastic bags. They couldn’t care less of what’s holding in your hand. They are so much happy with the cartoon-printed bag which might cost less than a few Ringgit. Why are we so not satisfied, where as those who are less rich could feel so much joy and happiness with just something which is so much less costly?
 
You might be thinking "Because they do not have a choice. They are poor and can’t afford expensive stuff!".
 
BUT do you have a choice?
 
YES! You have a choice.
 
You can choose either to : "Be happy with what you have" OR "Be not happy with what you do not have".
