Scotty McCreery wins American Idol

Hi folks!

The other night I happened to be watching the Americal Idol show whereby Lauren Alaina and Scotty McCreery were chosen as the two finalist to vie for the American Idol.

At that moment, after watching about their home-coming trip, I can't help stating my own votes on who will win the American Idol and yey (as if a great victory), my prediction came true..haha..

Just thought of sharing my thoughts here about the two finalists..

I felt Scotty has the real deep voice and wisdom beyond his age. He is also humble and quite "overwhelmed" by the crowds that welcomed him when he went back to hometown.

As for Lauren Alaina, I can kinda feel the innocence and her warm heart especially to those who suffers after their homes were destroyed in the calamities. She is quite true to her heart and I hope she can continue to do so.

Both of these talented youth have so much more to offer and to face in the coming years.....and I believe they have grown so much from this competition too.

Wishing them all the Best and yea...we do have our own budding star at home too...don't we? Music are meant to be fun and nurturing...and creative too!

Here's one young aspiring idol from home..how about yours?

Cheers!

Additional public holiday during Hari Raya

Hi folks!

Yey...overheard the radio and saw the announcement on the paper today:

Excerpts from TheStar Online
KUALA LUMPUR: The Government has decided to declare an additional public holiday this year in view of Hari Raya overlapping with National Day on Aug 31.

If the first day of Hari Raya fell on Aug 30 and the second day coincided with National Day, then Sept 1 would be declared as the additional public holiday, he said in a statement yesterday.

If the first day of Hari Raya falls on Aug 31 and coincides with National Day, then Sept 2 will be declared as the additional public holiday.

YEY!!!

Don't we all love and yearn for more holidays....?? :)

Cheers!

Why did I do waking up at 3am today?

Hi folks!

Today KY going for a school trip...and I have woke up early to prepare the sushi rice at 3 am so that it'll  be ready to be wrapped at 6am later..Now, I must say I am a newbie when it comes to sushi...I just love the taste, convenience and practicality of having sushi for snacks-on-the-go which is at the same time "filling".

But, just wonder, do we need to let the sushi cool down before we wrap them? :P I am not too sure but last night even though I have set the alarm at 4.50am, I could not stop worrying that I will overslept and missed the right time to cook the sushi rice...so when I was awoke from bed at 2.35am by the princess who needs the toilet trip...I went over the kitchen to quickly cook the rice...so anxious and excited over the whole day school trip than KY :P

I have made her two mini egg burger for breakfast (sorry no time to take picture this morning as I was in a terrible RUSH hour :P ), a few vegetarian sausages(specially ordered by KY), a few mushrooms(slightly stew using the leftover water from lightly blanching the carrot and yellow capsicum meant for sushi), and oh yes two slices of organic banana cake(steam straight from freezer) which we bought together at BMS Organic after her music class last week.

So, likewise, DH and me is having the similar packed meal, except that I was seriously running late that I only managed to pack the sushi (along with wasabi), the rest of the meal items I simply had to "put" everything into a container (including the egg which is yet-to-be-wrapped into the burger bun :P ) Sorry DH...self-service at office ok :P

So, here ..typically...mommy is packing the "ends" part of the cut sushi...hehe...

Hope KY enjoyed a safe and nice school trip today...

Cheers!

Life is like a 100m dash!

Hi folks!

Have you ever heard that Life is like a 100m dash? Or do you feel life is like a marathon?

I used to be a runner during my school days and this quote really strikes me; even now as a parent.

Why life is said to be like a 100m dash? If you have seen how the sprinter like Carl Lewis or our local sprinter hero, Datuk Dr M "The Flying Doctor" Jegathesan, training for hours everyday just to be able to perform the "dash" in the 100m track and field event, you would understand how life is said to be like a 100m.

People said opportunity is for those who are prepared for it. So, in order to win the medal in the 100m, these athletics too have been training and "prepared" for the dash.

How about us? Being a parent, are you preparing ourselves for the 100m dash? Lots of hard work are work-in-progress before the actual day where opportunity strikes and time for us to give our BEST!

It has been said that the Generation Y children have short attention span and find it cumbersome to go through long hours of preparation or training just to perform that single task, be it concert, exam, etc. So, in order to encourage them to have the patience and perseverance to go through long hours of "training", we have to make them understand of this concept, "Life is like a 100m dash."

Once they witness and get to savour the satisfaction coming from results of a hard work, they will be more willing to put in the effort.

For us parents, it is the same. We might not witness the fruit of our nurturing, patience and dedication whether in guiding our children, taking care of their diet, motivates them, cheering for them, being their friends, putting them our priorities and all other sacrifices made. But someday, when the 100m dash arrived, we would know what we have been contributing thus far has been taking positive effect on them.

Therefore, whenever we feel like raising the white flag, or when our child is showing the sign of giving up, we should try to encourage ourselves or our children not to give up. When we are able to think and act that way, our children will also feel and witness our perseverance, thus, very likely they will do the same too. As the sayings goes, "Like Father, like son.".

So parents, let us continue to give our best and persevere for the better 100m dash results for us and for our next generation!

Cheers!

Yoga Mat and Life inspiration

Life is on loan, you never know when the loan period will end...treasure every NOW.

生命是貸款，你永遠不知道什麼時候會結束...珍惜每一個現在。

What does it got to do with yoga mat?

Human learn from things happening around them. From the Japanese nuclear leak, earthquake to small little things in life…for me it is the yoga mat.

I have restarted my yoga sessions recently and have been using a loan yoga mat which is such a neat one from my sis. It has been on loan to me ever since she got pregnant till now being a mom, and now this lovely mom is thinking to return back to yoga sessions with aspiration like me to get back into shape and became fit again. Therefore, it's time to return her the yoga mat.

Now, don't you all think that life is similar as well? This physical body is on loan to us to fulfill an aspiration or mission in life. But as we got used to using "it" for some time, we forgot that it does not belongs to us and then when it has to be taken away from us, we start to reflect and found we have not been fully-utilizing it. Is it too late when we have such realization?

Earth too is a loan to us. We are supposed to use it with care and make it a better place to live in. But look at our nonchalant ways in polluting the earth with chemicals, non-biodegradable disposed everywhere, high level of carbon emission, etc. What if God decided to end the loan period? What will happen to us and our future generation?

Therefore, let us learn from every small little things in life, learn from this short yoga mat story of mine and take pro-active role in maintaining and using what's been loan to us with care?

So what are the things which are considered "loan" items to you? How about relationship with our closed ones, our friends or our colleagues? Is it a short-term thing as well? Should we cherish and make the best of it?

Do share your thoughts about this!

Have an insightful day folks!

Cheers!

What new words I learn from the news?

Hi folks!

I am sure many of you got the news that iPad2 has been launched in Malaysia last Friday. And lots of people have been queuing since early of the Friday morning.

As i read news about iPad, here's one which I learn another new word:

"I'm very confident that we can produce a very large number of iPads for the quarter," said Cook, who is known for deft management of supply chains and inventory.

Source: http://techcentral.my/news/story.aspx?file=/2011/4/21/it_news/20110421093729&sec=it_news

–adjective,
dexterous; nimble; skillful; clever: deft hands;
(Source: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/deft)

So, parents we are also striving to be deft everyday, aren't we? It takes a deft hands to handle the household properly too!

CREATIVE DIY DOOR GIFT CONTEST

Hi folks!

Feeling “Tuesday blue” today? :P Long weekends are good if they are used with care; with an event called"REST” scheduled. Otherwise the side-effect from the heavily-packed weekend would be “Tuesday (or whichever day you’re back in office) Blue at work”….

Now let me feast you with some doorgift pictures below: 

  These are just some of the doorgift I have received in my past wedding functions which I have attended. Of course these doorgift does not limit to wedding functions alone. 

I once attended a Women Technopreneur event and the doorgift is in the form of lipstick pouch. Isn't that great? The audience are all women and definitely the doorgift is useful to all!

I feel to think of the perfect gift takes a lot of creativity and effort. To think of the "perfect" doorgift is definitely challenging too...

If you have the creativity and the wish to venture into doorgift biz, you may like to check out the CREATIVE DIY DOOR GIFT CONTEST.

This contest is organized by Santa Gift Shop and the winner will each win 12 months free advertising her/his masterpieces at SGS and become their doorgift supplier. Hitting two birds with one stone!

So creative folks! What are you waiting for? Clear your blues away and start wearing your thinking head to win yourself a dream too good to be true!

For more contest details, check out the contest site here.

Cheers!
