My chopsticks training starts here!

ktal — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 08:11:15 +0000

This is the latest skill that I newly acquired. I feel so good that I can now feed myself & mummy with a pair of chopsticks. Well, how I wish you could see my parents’ expression when I did that. They’re just too impressed with this little achievement of mine. aiii…. just as they always did.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. ~Psalm 32:8

I made $$$

ktal — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 04:55:34 +0000

I made my very first RM200 in my life last weekend. I went with my parents to Tesco for grocery shopping and papa bought me some Dutchlady milk in the carton. We bought 4 packets that cost us Rm14 and entitled me for 1 draw of the ping pong dip. My hand came out with a unique blue ball that won me the grand prize of RM200!

The blessing of the LORD brings wealth,
without painful toil for it. ~Proverbs 10:22

Merry Christmas to everyone!

ktal — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 13:39:28 +0000

These are what I learn this Christmas…

Christmas is the LORD Jesus’ birthday
Long ago God promised to send a Savior King
God promised that the Savior King would be born in Bethlehem
God always keeps His promises
Christmas is the time God kept His promise to send a Savior
Mary was the LORD Jesus’ mother, but His Father was the Almighty God in heaven
God shows people how to find the LORD Jesus
God always knows what is best for His people

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. “ John 3:16

Writing is fun!

ktal — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 05:32:32 +0000

Hannah learns to write lately and finds tonne of fun with it. It has been one of her favorite things to do whenever she gets on her iPad. The first thing ever she wants to challenge herself is to write to her papa. What a little mind with the great thoughts! err… I wonder if papa knows to read her love letter when she’s done with it. (papa doesn’t read chinese though )

“For nothing is impossible with God.” ~Luke 1:37 NIV

Have fun waiting

ktal — Sat, 28 May 2011 21:51:37 +0000

Mummy thinks this is so remarkable and I’m glad to have her acknowledgement though…

Last night, we are out dining at Ivy’s Kitchen. While waiting for the dinner to be served, I started to hum “Joy to the world” to keep myself occupied. My parents weren’t paying much attention initially and they thought I was just doing baby talk. After a while, they paused their conversation and tried to catch what I’s saying or rather singing. It’s a surprise to them that I’s humming the song mummy sang to me in the early morning. They are glad to see how I could actually find myself a better thing to do while waiting instead of leaving the chair walking around like I used to do. Then, we all sang together and it’s really fun.

You will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust in you.

Isaiah 26:3 NIV

On a side note, the food there is really nice that I finished off all the asam prawn that papa peeled for me and I enjoyed the Inchee drumlettes so much.

Papa’s new toy

ktal — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 02:24:38 +0000

As you can see, my papa is playing so attentively with his new toy! It’s so interesting to see how the iPad2 had travelled the world before it reached my papa in Folsom, CA. And, as soon as it got into papa’s hand, they are on the road back home, back to the great continent, its origin!
