OUR 3 BIRDS

These are our lovely pets.... Putera, Puteri and the new comer "Forever" the cockatiel.

"Forever" is tame,discipline,sociable and smart. She likes to stand on our shoulders. Unlike the other 2 parakeets, we still can't get close to them even after 9 months They were very scared when we first tried to put "Forever" into their cage. After few attempts, now they are fine for this new friend to hang around in their cage for a while !!! Sooner, we need to get a bigger cage for Forever.

See, this is the favorable place for "Forever" She likes to play with the chain !

Ah Don likes to carry her around.. She is his new love !

I was teaching "Forever" how to kiss... hmmm.. this is my first lesson.
She is learning fast......

The weather is very hot this summer..... I don't like hot sun.... For the fun of walking and hopping from one garage sale to another I have to bear the hot sun and the dark skin. Look at my hands and the arms. There are multi-color tone ! :(:(

I stopped taking much picture of myself recently. I noticed that my face has changed. Well, I hate to use the word "old" but it is written on my face !! I like to look at my old photos.... I think some oldest photos gave me sweet memory. The reason for putting my ugly photos here is to allow me to view them I am more "matured".... like when I am 70 ??

Wait ! I don't think I will live up to 70 because one fortune teller told me that I will die at 67....and it's really not very far away from now;

Do I worry ? No ! I am ready for the day to come. 2 great stars passed away yesterday. It is shocking and sad to hear someone die. We have to accept that every one has to die one day when on gets old. I really people who have strong fighting spirit to survive. Definitely...it won't be me. If I were diagnosed with terminal illness, I would opt to die. I don't want to go through horrible treatment. I can't stand to suffer the pain and the process of treatment.

This is my decision and I am writing it in my blog ... I want to die beautifully if possible

I am thankful to have a good family, a lovely husband and a wonderful daughter and now I have 3 birds to play with. What more should I ask beside good health ???

Nicole's Graduation

The evening of the day after I arrived in Seattle my daughter Nicole celebrated her graduation from High School.


There were 589 students attending the graduation ceremony. It was not easy getting pics during the ceremony. However, below are a few of the scenes I captured.

Jaclyn Sings

The evening, of the day I arrived in Seattle, my daughter Jaclyn performed in the school's choir concert.

Below are some scenes from that performance.

Disney World With Dwang And Amy

WOW! Times flies when your having fun.



Anyway, finally getting some pics and video together. Here is the video when we went to Disney World. Spent the day in the Magic Kingdom.

OUR 4TH ANNIVERSARY !

When people get older,(I like to use "matured" instead of "old"for myself !) , people wanted time to move slower but it spins even faster than before !!

This is particular true in my situation. It seems like only a couple of days ago that I was thinking very hard to decide should I come to USA or should I just drop the idea. But, I am right here is USA for more than 4 years and today is our 4th Anniversary.


To mark this occasion, Ah Don bought a cockatiel for me 2 days ago and we named it " Forever" Since our "whatever" is gone; we want this cockatiel to be with us forever just like our marriage.

I woke up early this morning as usual to prepare my breakfast and cook lunch to bring to work. But when Ah Don came from from upstairs he gave me a big hug and told me that he is very happy to marry me !!... What a nice & sweet word !!

I think, we have learned and got to know each other very well . We are fully aware that a good marriage is 2 ways and we have to be sincere, caring and understanding to each other.

When I went upstairs to get myself ready for work .... then I saw a Coach paper bag on our bed...... OH OH OH!!! it is a lovely Coach bag from Ah Don!!!

I love this Coach bag...it is very nice and elegant. Thank You Ah Don..... but you have to stop buying any more handbag to me......hahahahahaha....

After work, we went to Bangkok restaurant for dinner. No wine for me.... as I would feel sleepy after a glass.....It was a nice evening, good food & good talk !!:):):)

Latest Edition To Our Family

Here is the latest edition to our family. We named the cockatiel, Forever. It is one of Ah Don's Anniversary gifts to BYL.

AH DON IS AWAY AGAIN

Ah Don seems to have more travelling recently..... first he went to Jason's house is New Jersey last month to help the painting work to his new house then it turned out he became a Door Fixer !! ha hahahah

For this trip, he went to Seattle to see his 2 daughters; So, I am left alone at home for 5 nights (to be exact .... 10th to 15th AM!!!! ) He is there to attend Nicole's graduation from High School; He is also there with his earnest desire to find out why the girls are mad with him lately.

One of the girls said " WE need to talk!" So I hope they will TALK it out loud and clear the air with open heart. There is no misunderstanding that can not be solved or clarified.

With that particular mission to accomplished, I decided not to join him for this trip. I believe, it's good for me not to set my hand. All I know is that I have not been their favourable person.

As for me, I have been a single mom myself. I know what would be the side effect of failing marriage. I brought up my daughter all by myself and taught her from very young that she has to respect and connect with her father no matter what; Do not blame him for not supporting her.One thing I could be sure he loves and cares for her; it was only during his bad time that he was unable to help out. I had a good job so that wasn't a problem then. With the respect and the connection that established, I am thankful that he is there for her since I left Malaysia.

As I am writing this, Ah Don sent me an Email that he is checking out from the hotel...so he is leaving Seattle this evening. Hope everything will work out fine for him. Poor guy, he has to travel overnight and be here tomorrow morning with red eyes!!! I will go to work as usual. Luckily, we have a new colleague Chris who is kind to fetch me to work!

Missing my Garage Sale is something that cannot made good like relationship!
For garage sale, once the things are gone... they are gone.. For relationship,there are times & opportunities for both parties to reconsider and reconcile before calling it off.

Hahahahaha... I have been reading a lot of letters to Annie and Abby that I think I am able to see the situation much clearer these days. I have learned to adopt "one step forward and 2 steps back" kind of thing....:):):)

My mother's memorial day falls on June 17th.....as usual I will draft my message for my brothers to insert in the local paper to mark this memorial day. This is the only thing that I can express how much I missed My mother. She was a great mommy on earth. I weep whenever I think of her. I was not by her bed side to see her gone.This has been my greatest regret in life. Even with her last breath, she told my siblings that she wanted to make sure that there is someone to take care of me after she is gone. Mom ..... your love for me is so great ! You are my role model forever.

Ah Don, if you are reading this.... I believe you must be the one arranged by my mom to take care of me, Right ?? :):):):):)
