Summer... is almost here

give me Grace, I pray

while my DBA report is in the throes of birth pains, somewhere else far yet near is also moving through the momentous tunnel of dimension and time into a fresh new life...

God, I pray for strength to the mother and father,
I pray for your safe delivery of this precious bundle of new life,
that You have chosen to give to us,
to love, grow, cherish...
and be the reflection of all that we are now, tomorrow.
Amen.

Prayer is answered when you welcome everything.
Loss fertilizes the ground for gain.
Everything that comes to you is a portion of the answer to that prayer.
Bring your prayers to the Prayer Chest, my son, and all
that you ask shall be answered one by one... (The Prayer Chest, 2007)

adrenalin rush at Mitsubishi car fest!

Sat yesterday, mama & papa decided on a whim to check out cars in Auto City... and maybe get a bite (have had lunch) at Swenson's (mama salivating over their BBQ/honey roasted chicken). And lo and behold, we stumbled into Mitsubishi's car fest! :) the best part was they came up with a Dacca rally trek at the back equipped with rally & 4WD instructors (not drivers mine you!!). here is a pic with Mr Kong (5x rally champion) and our Mitsubishi rep, Max... see the helmet in mama's hand? well yes, we had to don on helmets to go on a couple (yes, 2!) spins with Mr Kong in the mock Dacca rally. And mama meant spins, literally!! first time on the Pajero, mama sat shotgun. Second time on their 3.2 Triton, mama let papa have a go la... :)

It was definitely the best car try for us haha! we had the opportunity also to experience 4WD treks on Triton & Pajero, and test drove all their cars along the Prai road around AC... 2.5 Triton, Pajero, Grandis... ya, we'll see if we'll be convinced enough to get a 4WD :) definitely was interesting... especially when driving up a 50 deg side incline hahaho!! hwhaooo... the fest was only for the weekend (almost went over for another spin this afternoon, but we curbed it in time and went for another different excitement instead ;p )

...and yes, mama had a Swenson's roasted honey chicken after that :)

happy Birthday lo Ma Chi.. mmuak!

early celebration on 12/06 before ah ma with kong kong go to Spore for a coupla mths to visit Ting-ku ku, Karen-kim & baby :)

What to do when you are trapped in a lift?

got this from a friend... good to refer in case:

First - Quickly press all the different levels of buttons in the lift. When the emergency electricity supply is being activated, it will stop the lift from falling further.
Second - Hold on tight to the handle (if there is any).. It is to support your position and prevent you from falling or getting hurt when you lost your balance.
Third - Lean your back and head against the wall forming a straight line. Leaning against the wall is to use it as a support for your back/spine as protection.
Fourth - Bend your knees Ligament is a flexible, connective tissue. Thus, the impact of fractured bones will be minimised during fall.
