Last day with our Nissan LEAF.

It has been an amazing 7 weeks for us to test drive this beauty.

We would like to thank Nissan Malaysia, the Marketing Team, agents and all our friends, family and clients (hubby's) for supporting us.

We are really looking forward to seeing the car being sold in Malaysia.

Thank you again! ♥‿♥

~ Posted on Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at 9:01 AM ~

The moment I saw this app about Red Fox in the latest Oceanhouse Media's press release in my email inbox, I remembered having reviewed a similar app like this few months ago about ladybug, I immediately request for the promo code to redeem this app. Anyway, my review as below...

What's good?

* It is engaging and interactive and I love that we can also touch the objects in each page on the screen and the words pop out to tell you what it is!

* I like the storyline where it tells how a Mother and Father fox teach their 4 cubs to hunt for food and also how they defend themselves and their cubs from predators (coyotes).

* I used the opportunity in this book to teach my 3.5 years old son about the Red Fox, how it hunts for food and also defends itself and its cubs from predators.

* The illustration is beautiful and quite life-like!

Give Thanks To What We Are Blessed With

~ Posted on Monday, November 26, 2012 at 7:21 AM ~

Years ago, I used to think that life is not fair and wondered why other people get to have this and that... Until one day I realized, oh well, sometimes you've gotta look at the other person's perspective and you've gotta also look at the bigger picture. For example:

* It's not fair that I don't get to continue my studies, I mean I only had 1 year Diploma in IT... but before I quit my IT job in June 2009, I know I earned more than my friends who went overseas, got degree, got Masters, etc etc...

* It's not fair that I have to work my way up with just 1 year Diploma in IT, but I realized now I get higher pay because I started working at a young age. Those years and years of experience is way much more valuable than a degree...

* It's not fair that my parents passed away (dad in April 2006, mum in Jan 2007) but I realized, God works in a mysterious way... I am comforted in knowing my parents accepted Jesus before they passed on.

The grass always look greener on the other side. How am I to know that maybe the other person is also envious and saying that it's not fair I get this and that? Right?

And, think about it... God gave us another day to live on this planet, no pain, no sickness, with loved ones around, what more could we ask for?

What more do you want?

Why must we be so greedy and keep wanting more?

Why can't we make do and be happy with what we are blessed with and stop saying it's not fair?

Look at the bigger picture and be contented and give thanks to what we are blessed with! I'm thankful for my health, my hubby's health, my family's health, and oh yes, thankful I have a family of my own!

What are you thankful for today?

** Pst: Btw, that's the Nissan LEAF car we were posing next to. I am also thankful we get to test drive the car for 7 weeks!
