2008-03-07 14:12:00
March 8 (or 3-8 - is that sampat, LB?) early in the morning, The Emperor 's concubines have been very busy to make this day perfect for the Emperor Albie Wong. Concubines number #38 made this special cappuccino to greet this special morning....He is smiling when he sees some candy hearts from The Hug Hug Club's Franchise Members.Suddenly, his private guard comes and gives him a special gift from the Emperor's friend: Trinity, a fairy from Rooms of My Heart. It is a VVIP ticket invitation to attend a Grand Birthday Celebration Concert for him!They are many famous celebrities invited to the concert, such as ABBA,Bee Gees, Carlos Tevez, Laura Pausini, Will Smith, Matt Damon, Scarlett Johanssen, and John Le Carré too!Trinity sends her private jet to take Albie to the concert...They still have enough time to attend the concert, so Trinity brings Albie around the world to show him something. From above, in the sky, among the clouds, Trinity shows the Emperor something special... Clic...

Root or Die

Been very lazy to write a post... I am occupied with my desire to make a new lay out and using new templates. Headache but too curious to stop!Ok, forget it... now let's see what I have done to my beautiful flowers in my garden!This is our favorite flowers and we love to have it covers our canopy on our carport. My neighbor loves it as well, and they want the flowers on their canopy too. *grin* After several years being so proud and beautiful, we were getting worried of the roots! It's so wild, it appears everywhere! See the red circles, they are only some of their branches, sprout from the ground...I decided to put the main root into a big water jug... I told our gardener (came once a month) to cut down the roots and put them in it after he made a hole on the jug first.The day after we cut down the root, the plant became withered... and finally dry and died!What a pity... so catastrophe... we have no beautiful canopy any longer...What I've clearly reminded:We have to root spiri...

I posted before that I was a graphic designer for a teenager bible-study series before. Several weeks ago, I went to the Christian bookstore and found the series. Here they are!We used some pictures as a cover, and one of them is using my pictures, can you notice which one? *grin*Today my mom and I visit my cousin. He is very sick, his legs are so big, swollen... they are poor and they can't afford to hospitalized him. We have been talking about this to my dad's brothers, but still no action from them. We came there to see and comfort them, but gosh... it's so sad to see him like that! He got to be hospitalized soon, even several flies has come to his legs! Hopefully my uncle will take him to be hospitalized at Tuesday and we will ask some relatives to help us pay the bill. I am really thankful that my family (hubby and mom) believe that God has blessed us to bless others, so we feel no burden at all when we have to share some money (and other blessings such as attention and pray...

Flu and bed
2008-03-02 10:59:00
Cliff got flu and cough again just yesterday, while Clay got it 2 weeks ago. I think Cliff is worse than Clay. He can't breath from his nose and his voice gets hoarse because he breaths from his mouth. However, we feel he is so cute to have a hoarse voice like that.. so funny... LOL.. he is just a little brat but his voice is sooo low like grown ups.. hahaha...If only we have a bed like adjustable beds I think it is easier for Cliff to sleep when he gets flu. This kind of bed has been my 'dream beds' since Clay was a baby! I put Clay to sleep on his stroller if he got flu when he was a baby... oh how I remember those sleepless nights!! Really tiring!I wonder how much this bed here in Indonesia so I can save some money to buy it! But now my kids are bigger already and don't need this bed. What a pity, we are just married when we have a baby and can't afford this bed... and later when we can save some money, we don't have a baby anymore.... ha ha ha ha... oh ok, let's buy it fo...

Many jobs have some risks or consequences we have to face, for example, work at the mine, at the factory, work as a firefighter, and many things else. There are various risks that we may not know before, such as an industrial related disease like asthma, dermatitis, hand arm vibration syndrome, etc. There is some risks as well that we had known it but we think we can handle it if we are careful enough to take care ourselves, such as accident at work. Personal injury can happen anytime even though we have tried to be careful. In this case, we can try to apply Accident Claims.If you need honest, professional advice about this matter, you can ask Keypoint Legal Service, a division of Beresfords Solicitors LLP a leading law firm regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, to help you. You have the right to get the compensation and they will make sure to fight for you. You also don't have to worry about the fee because they act under a No Win No Fee agreement, so it is totally ...

Thank you friends for all opinions and comments about me and Clay. I appreciate that you have shared your valuable point of views with me. I really have to learn a lot and I am glad I have friends like you!I've known my mistakes when I wrote the post and some of you have pointed that out as well:I have to talk face to face, look into his eyes to see his expression and he can see mine too.I also thought that I put too much pressure to him when I was talking to him, that's why I said I didn't mean to compare him with his cousin (in my heart I realize I did.. hahaha) oops!I shouldn't tell him about his uncle who 'mocked' him in front of me. I think he didn't realize it at all, it's me who dislike his uncle attitude anyway. :-PYeah I know I should ask him first how is doing at school, how's his mood at that time etc before I 'gave him a lecture'....From you I learn:Comparing boys with girls is sexist... :-D I think in my culture it's very common that I even didn't realize t...

What do you think about competitiveness?
2008-02-26 01:00:00
When I tried to push Clay a couple days ago, it didn't mean that he was not clever enough at school. Although his age is younger than most of his classmates (he is 7 years old now, 2nd grade) I must say that he is good and smart enough. He even got this card (and gift as a reward) from his English teacher:Clay is doing great at school. He is talented in English, Mandarin, Science, Math and Bible study. He never has to work hard but he can get good score. Though this is such a blessing, I think Clay has to learn how to work hard. I don't want him underestimate something and not give all his best in doing something.Here's my point of view about parenting...Actually my hubby and me doesn't like to compare our kids. We put Clay in his recent school because of this reason as well. In this school (Bintang Mulia), there is no ranking on his semester report. I feel awful when our relatives and their grandparents compare my children to their cousins. Sometimes, I feel 'challenged' to b...

8 Random Facts about Clifford
2008-02-25 02:00:00
This is from Janice's Zac! 8 Random Facts about Clifford ....If you want to know about Clay, his brother, you can read this post.1. Kristheoren Clifford Teja in the name of our youngest son, Cliff. Kristheoren means a follower of Chris who reigns, Clifford means cliff at the river crossing. Teja is my hubby's family name. He is also called Cliff, as parents we hope he will be strong as a Cliff in facing this life.His name is contradictory from his brother Clay. We hope Clay to be easily mold by God, while Cliff has to be strong to stand on the Rock. Why? Because when Cliff was conceived, we were in grief, deeply saddened by my dad's struggle against lung and liver cancer. That shocking news were received just a week after I found out that I was pregnant... my sister was also found pregnant as well in the same day we heard about that bad news. 3 months and 3 weeks after that were the longest, the hardest, the saddest months in our life... we are fully aware that mom's emotions co...

Below is the sandpit at Clay's Elementary School. He always plays here after school and I have to pick him up here. Look at the slanting wooden play house... it's really fun to have this kind of playhouse at school isn't it? I choose this school because there are spacious space for kids to play, to run and to explore. Many schools in Bandung that only buildings, no space for play at all. Even the basketball court is used to park the teacher's car!Look at Clay & co. They are building something... just like architects building a drainage... :-) On the background is a wooden play house... with a sliding, bridge and tunnel...The students love to play here at school breaks.And this is Clay, in a wooden tree house.... we were searching for a place for family gathering and found this place... it's a great place for a retreat... children are having fun here...To see more photo hunt pictures, click here

I kept on talking about it with him while I was driving and I didn't even look at his face and expression hearing what I was saying to him. When we arrived home (around 30 minutes later-because we didn't go home straightly from school), I was surprised to see Clay's expression... so low, so tired, just like want to cry, and refused to go out of the car.

I am so honored because these great people remember to include me in this peace spreader meme. Zari who lives in Lebanon, a country in the midst of political turmoil and violence, created this beautiful dove icon to spread the message of love and peace to fellow bloggers around the world. The rules: 1. If you get tagged or not (and want to play along), take some minutes to meditate about love and peace, pray for countries that are facing troubles, for those people you love and those you don’t.2. Write a post with links to blogs that you think would like to participate3. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme. Now this little dove will soar further to spread peace to JenGi, BokJae and Jamy.

And this is the answer of my question....---taken from the first post of this blog!--- I almost spent some money to buy 'un peacefull' feeling!sorry about my vocab.. I don't know what is the word to explain my feeling..have you experience... you pay but you don't feel peaceful? I subscribe tv cable yesterday.. and I joke with the technician.. I said I want to watch 'gold program' but pay 'silver program' instead.. ( you know what I mean?) silver program has only 26 channel while gold program has 46 channel.. We have to pay more to get all channels of course..Suddenly the technician said to me, "You can pay silver program forever and watch gold program..You pay me 500.000 rupiah ( around 62 us dollar), and you can have it. This is one and only life chance..." I was tempted! I paid him 350.000 rupiah.. 44$ ! No one would knows.. At first, I felt happy.. felt lucky.. and my hubby didn't mind that as well, but deep in my heart I began to feel uneasy.. The next day.....

I thought it was clever, not cheat... but my uncle said it several times that I started to have no peace in mind.One day, I said to my neighbor that I will stop sharing the cable tv and use the antenna instead. Apparently, we were not satisfied with the picture quality... using cable tv was much smoother indeed! I have no choice but subscribe it again, but this time, not share with my neighbor and pay it full.. we chose silver package instead of gold package, so we got less channel options.When the technicians came to install it...

We all can make a wrong choice in our life... I got some friends who was drug-addicted and now they have a good living and free from drugs by God's grace. Since I was in junior high school, I was 'called' to make friends with some friends who had this problems... many of my friends are 'naughty boys and girls' and if you have become my readers since a couple of months back, you know I was not too good as well when I was teenager. *grin*I am glad to share this to you, may be you have a friend or relatives who need information about drug rehab, you can try to visit Pacific Hills.

Do you have a dream?
2008-02-18 01:29:00
My brother-in-law loves cars. When he built his house, he made a huge garage and spared a large space of parking lot. He prepared it for the cars even he only had 2-3 cars. Indeed, his house is an office as well. He lives on the 4th floor while the first to third floors are used for workplace and shop. I think it is a good thought to have a large parking lot for that purpose.Now I am not sure how many cars he has! One thing I know even my hubby's car can't park there for a night because there is no space left. Ha ha ha ha... of course some of the cars are owned by the office for business, including 3 trucks, completed by truck bed liner, to load a large printing stuff.What I want to say here is, it's good to have a big dream and make one step at a time to reach the dream... It is proven, dreams can come true especially when God thinks we are ready enough to reach the dream!
