Surprise of the YEAR

MY YOUNGER BRO came back from US!!!!YEA, this handsome boy surprised ALL of my family members.
He DIDNT tell anyone of us that he's coming home

mum couldnt get him on his birthday, thinking that he might be travelling in US, lil did she knows that this boy of hers boarded the flight the day b4 his birthday!
arrived KL, dragged his 60Kgs luggage and appeared infront of vista!
gave my elder bro n sis a SHOCKED.
then bro drove him up Genting to meet my parents who were having hols..
mum n dad almost got HEART ATTACK when they saw his sudden appearance!
and me, he sneaked out from nowhere when my mum picked me up in the airport..

Cinderella

If you have heard the song 'Cinderella' by Steven Curtis Chapman, you'll wanna be daddy's lil princess again. That's how i felt after hearing this song over Sabrina's blog. And i kept playing it whole day n night (till i think Ly also sien with me..mukakaka), imagining myself as the cinderella dancing with my daddy:) But little did i know the story behind this song of this man. A tragic lost of his youngest daughter, Maria Sue Chapman.
beautiful Family Portrait of the Chapmans..Maria is the gurl sitting on Steven's lap

Steven Curtis Chapman, a man after God's heart, world renown Christian songs writer with Grammies awards and a lovely father. He adopted 3 lovely Chinese gurls from China, lavished them with love and kisses, introducing God into their lives and becoming their all time Hero: the Dad of all wonders:) May 21st 2008, the day that turned his life upside down when his youngest adopted daughter, Maria died after being knocked down by his very own son. A mistake, a tragic accident that nobody would expect it to happen. God has taken Maria home, the place called heaven....click here to read more about the Her story and the subsequent work the Chapman Family has been doing to help the orphans in China, building Maria's Big HOUSE of H.O.P.E. Very touching indeed:'(

Maria's Big House of HOPE at Luoyang, China, the place she was born.

This is BIG HOUSE has 6 floors, catering for orphans from age 5 years and younger. There will be an operation theatre there as well, for special referrals from all over China! Their big heart to show HOPE to the neediest of all, just like how Jesus came to this earth to bring us HOPE:)

there is a story behind this building as well. It's written in the official website, how Maria accepted Christ into her life at the age of 4, after asking her mum about God's big house in heaven^_^

Maria(Left) and Stevey Joy..so cute right!

Why did God let this happened? It remains a mystery...the incident happened 10 days after Maria's 5th birthday, hours b4 the eldest daughter's engagement party, and the son's graduation party.. Celebrations waiting ahead for the Chapmans but nope, they had to mourn for this lil soul instead..... Sometimes, i wonder, the story bout Job does exist on this earth, when God takes away the precious thing of yours, you still need to stand firm, and believe it's for a better and continue trusting Him.

At times as such, we just have to cling on to the Lord and know that He is the sovereign Lord who reigns forever.

The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord--Job

Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall not accept adversity? Job2:10


Something to ponder..


Steven and lil Maria *heart warming*

Daddy and his princesses:)

Just thought of sharing this song with you guys:) enjoy....

food for thought: Do spend more time with your parents, coz time past really fast and in a split of a second, the 'cinderella will be gone....'

(Photo taken during my convo last year^_^)

time really flies...


wasSup Doc: daddy n mummy, wait for your dearest cinderella's return k, i'll spend LOADS of time with you:) we shall go rock and roll..Cant wait to see you:)

Never ending packings...

yeap...the last whole week was just about Packing packing and PACKING!
as i have mentioned last week, i have shifted to another flat which i will only stay for 2 weeks before i head home..before i even settled at this new place, i NEED to pack all the stuff i shifted into boxes and sealed them nicely to STORE it over the summer!



phew...to be honest with you, after dinner every night, you could see Lily and me, both of us were always busy packing! Even our flatmate was wondering how come we're sOSO busy, esp trying to fit all the boxes we had in our room and also the corridor..Ooops, it's not US, it's ME only:( i have SOOOO much things man...13 boxes PLUS a huge luggage! WAT i have? Dun ask me..i myself dun know why so MUCH! from files, foodstuff, books, clothes and much more..I DIDNT BUY/SHOP..it's inherited from my dear sis b4 she left UK! which is a good thing for me actually, coz i need not buy when i first arrived:) Cut the long story short..a week of SOLID packing!

Thanks to Kee Fong! Wahh...this brothaa of ours is our HERO! He has been our great help in shifting..since the day we arrived, till the very end day we're leaving!Thank God for him! if not we gurls will be GG-fied! So, we rented a car, and he drove all our(Steph, Ly and mine) stuff to his place in the city, in a few trips:) Luckily Min and him offered their place, if not, we'll have to pay a bomb for storage if we were to put in private storage company! Thank you guys for offering your place:)

Since we had the car for the whole day, we decided to have our final 'family' dinner at this traditional Chef and Brewer English pub called 'The Didsbury'. We've always wanted to eat here because of the good reviews, but it's kinda far from the place we stay...finally we have this opportunity to try some traditional GOOD English pub food:) just b4 we go back:P
see the deco above..pots n kettle:) very antique!
*smiley*
us @ The Didsbury
Starter: Seafood platter with smoked salmon, prawns, whitebait and marinated sardines:)
our traditional sirloin steak with mixed grill vege!
reasonable price for such a portion. The steak was SUPERB! Soft and tender:) Nyum..


KF and his grilled red mullet Nicoise(sea bass)!
Looks good ya!

and we surprised Ly for her pre-22nd birthday!
cause we wont be in Manchester anymore when this lil sis of us turns 22. So yeap, hope this small surprise did SURPRISED you! The cake was a rich choc fudge with low fat ice-cream:) *THUMBS UP...very nice oh..melt*

another dessert we had was this traditional baked vanilla cheesecake served with Channel Island cream..AWESOME! not very rich in cheese, just nice and sweet^_^

now you know why our diet plan never succeed coz we're fed with so much good stuff:P

Happy Biggie Day our dearest:) Welcome to the 22 club! We're all now 22 y.o!

::cheers::


Few highlights for my last week...i baked BREAD! yes...am such a bread lover and it's my first time baking bread...not because am too free, it's because i had leftover flour, and instead of throwing all away, i used them to make bread lo:)
Before it's put into the oven
See how big they 'kembang!'

it's such a failure actually..looks nice hor(please agree with me:P) but it doesn't taste good..it's hard..muakaka, but we DID try to finish some of them! cannot waste my effort kan:)
anyway, think i would just buy bread lar har:) Fast n Easy!


Next up, i made some bento lunch sets..for Lily and myself!
super HAPPY making them, can deco here n there:)
if only i have more things to add on my bento!

the 'smiley gurl' instant noodle, with tomatoes, peas, mushrooms:)

Eggie sandwich with tomatoes and peas n strawberry!

very simple lunchie to go...I am so INTO making bento!!*Whee*



wokay dokes
packing not over yet..
now it's time to pack our luggage home!
something very challenging coz the weight for our luggage is very limited! ESP Manchester Airport...wah...i could still remember vividly last 2 years when i flew back from Manchester, i had to throw my leather handbag away into the dustbin in the airport coz i was only allowed to bring one hand luggage! *HEART pain kao kao* so i better make sure i abide to the law this time!

in the midst of this, we still hv attachments and report to finish before declaring 'FREE'!

seriously...intense!

#wish me luck#



that's about it for now..
1 more week in Manchester and i'll be home~
wait for my grand return!
Angie is coming...
