Family Ties...26.12.2011

2nd day of Christmas, family and relatives far and near came together, we only see each other on festives season as we are staying apart, though some may stay just a door step away yet never had time to sit, eat and talk together as a family because everyone are too busy with their work, children etc., etc..  Glad that everyone are doing well, the little hip-cups in life is just part and parcel of life... Especially, those family members who are getting "senior" (jangan sebut perkataan tuai, sensitip! hehe) have to control what they eat... maioh amai penyakit ko sida iya... semua utai enda tau di empa, makai ubat aja meh... uncle (mom's brother) negur aku....".lama enda meda nn endun, nyau majak sihat nn diatu", uncle Tr (mom's cousin) terus inter-frame nyaut munyi tu--> "kitai suba bakanya meh rambau endun diatu, semua utai masuk magang, diatu amai kitai kurus tang sakit", then I answered them.."iya kati enda sihat, semua bp, sugar level, kulistril agik tahap "normal" then everyone broke into laughter...Enda sida nemu aku selalu sembiang ngasuh Tuhan meri aku pengerai ninting ari...ila madah ngagai sida iya resio....ma aku agik sihat walafiat ma umur udah manggai 65 taun, ti 55 taun, agik biak ko uncle Tr madah tadi hahaha.

Amai lelak saritu from 12 noon till 6:00 p.m..gelas pan enda sempat rangkai, pemaioh pengabang.. nasip anakx2 aku bisi nulong aunty (mummy Armand) serving, cleaning and washing.

Praise the Lord that we can celebrate another year of Christmas with joy, peace, love and harmony among our family members, relatives and friends (neighbours).  Today is all about Family Ties....May God continue to leave his "shalom" upon our family members, relatives, friends far and near.  Keep the Spirit of Christmas within us at all times! It's all about Jesus' Love.

Stayed tune for last wedding reception of the year tomorrow (27th Dec) and ushering New Year 2012...till then, stay blessed!

Happy Birthday Jesus! : 25.12.2011

A Child is Born Unto Us, Our Emmanuel, Prince of Peace...Happy Birthday Dear Lord Jesus....Thank you Abba Father for your Greatest Gift that you send to us...All Praise and Glory to our Saviour, King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Without the cross Christmas has no meaning, but without Christmas there would be no cross.  Christmas is not about food, drink and merry it's about receiving Jesus in our Home..

Evening comes, visitors coming to my "home sweet home", I did not actually prepared plentifully this year, Praise the Lord, He is so gracious always supply my needs according to His riches in Heaven, though I did not have so much food and drinks in the house, little that I have, God have multiplied them and everyone had more than enough and feeling happy, thanking my cousin-in law for generously gave me some of her home-made biscuits... or else..."mati nyawa munyi ko mak Enon" *sigh*

Wishing all Christians friends, relatives far and near A Merry and Blessed Christmas 2011!  Stay safe throughout the festive season, don't drink and drive....(Puji Tuhan, all my children are safely home at past 1:00 a.m.)

Sharing God's Word for Today : 24.12.2011

Tonite, we will celebrate the birth of our Saviour, Lord Jesus Christ, just a soft reminder to all "Believers" near and far....just put this verse in our heart & mind.

Genesis 12:3 "I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curse you, I will curse; and all people on earth will be blessing through you".

Meaning to say: If people bless me, God will bless that person, if those who hate and "curse" me, God will curse that person... so be careful and mindful with your feelings and words, it will be imputed back to oneself, because you don't know "Who" is with the person whom you "hate", if you love that person, then you expect blessings from God... it is clearly stated that --->> and all people on earth will be blessing through you. The choice is yours to choose, to love or to hate me. *winks*  I strongly believe God's word is alive and powerful.

May this Joyous Christmas, brings hope, joy, peace & love to each home and everyone's heart.

Kak Wai, signing off with Love! 

To Celebrate the Birth of our Saviour, Lord Jesus Christ

It would not be complete, if we do not put up the Christmas tree or invite carollers to come an sing beautiful Christmas Songs... so my Christmas Tree was up prior receiving Carollers to my humble home..... my home was the last one that night.. Carollers came on 12.12.2011.

Christmas Tree is up with the lightings...

my little "english corner"

the carollers from St' Barnabas, Tmn Tunku

 prepared finger-food the carollers

Last preparation before we celebrate the joyous occasion of our Savior's birth, today, 23rd December... me and daughter went to my brother house to do baking... all these years, I always ordered or buy cakes and biscuits from bakery or friends; but this year I want something different, I want to feel the spirit of Christmas that I used to have during my childhood years watching my mom and her friends bake cakes and biscuits, as teenagers then we lend our hands to assist, so this time I want my daughter to feel that special moment too... Pictures taken, Baking of Mixed Fruit cake and Peanut Biscuits in the making. Candid Photos by sister-in law.

shive the flour, oppss! mana ap-ron saya?

yes! pakei ap-ron...baru ngam! asai ke chef hehehe

pecah telur, masuk satu persatu...

masuk kan telur yang telah di mesin hehe

anak dara assist adding baking powder, vanilla essence

while mommy stir with care

tuangkan adunan ke dalam loyang...then into the oven

for an hour... 

while waiting for the "mixed fruit cake", make dough

peanut biscuits... anak dara nulong nge-chop design, 

she chose "twinkle little stars"

mommy placing them in the tray...special moment

as we bake together ..Christmas spirit is on

ta daaa.. fresh from the oven

peanut biscuits... in the oven

we baked two cakes for myself, 

my sister-in law baked 3 cakes and peanut biscuits for today,

tomorrow if time permits, will bake chocolate cornflakes biscuits.

Ever since, I had interest in cooking, am so happy my first attempt in baking "Mixed Fruit Cake" and "Peanut" biscuits went smooth and well, the cake looks perfect and taste yummy and the biscuits are crunchy, it must be God's unmerited grace and favor over me, that whatever, I touches now will prosper... I can't believe it myself....Anyway, many thanks to my sister-in law for her supervision I could not bake without her supervising me and daughter, I'm not surprise I'm into baking next year, just love to see the result.... If I have a "wish" I would want to extend the space of my kitchen so that I can spend most of my time "cooking and baking"...mmmm .. I hope that from this year on wards, I'll bake cake and biscuits during festive season instead of buying from bakery when I can do it myself, it gives self-satisfaction and of course cost-saving.. Dear Lord, please hear and answer my prayer...Amen.

Let's us celebrate the birth of our Saviour, Lord Jesus Christ with hope, peace, joy and love in our heart and; tomorrow is 24th December where all Christians will attend the mid-night mass, for me and family tomorrow morning we have to attend the baptism of my two nephews Armand Leo and Arthur Mulok.

Kak Wai would like to take this opportunity to wish all Christian friends and relatives near and far a "Blessed, Blessed, Blessed Christmas and Joyous and Happy New Year 2012". Do stay safe and blessed throughout the festive season...Love & Hugggsss Kak Wai.
