Cuti-Cuti Pulau Kapas, Terengganu

During the recent long Malaysia Day public holiday weekend, our family including my brother drove (again!) to Marang, Terengganu for a 3D 2N trip to Pulau Kapas. It was indeed another awesomely exciting holiday for us... and we saw God's hands throughout our trip.

Marang Jetty was pretty crowded due to the long weekend, many locals waiting for boat to Pulau Kapas for a quick stay-cation.



Check out the amount of food & stuffs we brought to Pulau Kapas... hehehe...



We again stayed at Pak Ya Chalet.. and dined at his cafe.. all very convenient and our chalets are right in front of the beautiful beach... #blessed

 Eat, play, swim & repeat... so so so fun!!

Non-stop fun...!

My dad brought a huge kite & managed to show-off his skills to fly the kite mighty HIGH!


Harvest on Saturday morning... which mum later used as soup base for steamboat...

Day 3 - time to say goodbye to the island... and promise that we will be back AGAIN!

The speed boat ride was part of the exciting experience :))



Praise God for blessing us with such perfect weather throughout this trip. 
Thank you Lord for your provisions and favor with the chalet operator. 
Also thank you for the journey mercy, we had very comfortable rides to & fro Pulau Kapas, 
be it land or sea.

Our Lim family's Chinese names

Image
It's not easy for an English educated Chinese banana like me to remember how to write our kids' Chinese names..(yeah of course I know how to write my own Chinese name). So I've actually prepared a powerpoint slide of all our Chinese names, as above, to help remind me how their names are to be written :p It's funny how we got Ivan's chinese name above... my parents didn't manage to provide chinese names that we like that rhymes with his English name - IVAN. Most of those that my dad shortlisted sounded abit like a girl's name. So one day what I did was to google for a translation website and used this website to translate "Wen" in english to Chinese character. After some browsing through, I've finally selected the above Chinese character to represent "Wen" which also has a very good meaning. It represents "stability, strength, strong foundation" which I find will be very good traits for a little boy. There is a Chinese sayin

Our 2nd honeymoon to Turkey 8-17 June 2010

Image
In Ankara where it was almost towards the end of our honeymoon trip to Turkey , Sze Weng asked me “Dear, how would you rate this Turkey trip? Will you come back for more?” Without a doubt, I answered him “10/10 and YES will definitely come back, to cover Eastern Turkey !!” Turkey is such a beautiful country with majestic historical architecture dating back to Roman, Greek & Otoman empires, magnificent nature scenes and significantly rich culture, that even a rock at some hillside is at least 2 centuries’ old and superbly rich with stories. It was never our choice destination for our 2 nd honeymoon till I heard from my best friend, Joanne who came back from Turkey last year and sang praises about it. After some research through forums, we were captivated with the beauty & magnificence of the country that we decided we could NOT resist it. We traveled for 10 days throughout the Western side of Turkey ; from Istanbul to Pamukkale, then on to Cappadocia and Ankara and bac

Respect for stay-at-home mothers..

A friend and his wife joined us at church today. They brought along their 5-month baby and felt immediately at ease with RLC's nursery area. She delivered her baby in March and has since left her job to be a full-time home-maker/mother/wife etc. Looking at her, I felt a strong sense of respect for her. I started asking myself "would I quit my job to take care of my 2 boys all by myself?" It's a question that I've asked myself during my 1st confinement after delivering Isaac. Then, my quick reply was NO. Financial limitation aside, I find it a really HUGE sacrifice for any working mums to take this bold step. I do not pride myself as being a workaholic... but to certain extend, I like my job & I like having my financial independence plus a strong social network which I've build across the last 10 years working in the media industry.  Confinement period/maternity leave is by far the closest I could get to being a stay-at-home mother. Not to say I do not en
