My 2009

I used to think, during job interview, why the interviewer like to ask questions that sound like this " What's your biggest achievement in life so far? " , " How you see yourself in 5 years time? " . Does any of you heard something like this before ? " Just imagine, what if you won a 10 millions jackpot after 2 weeks we hired you, what would you do with the money and your job? "

A few of my cousins are going through these this time of the year. I am feeling good because I will not need to have that any more, as long as I keep doing what I am working hard now, and keep improving it.

Yes, 2009 has been one of the good year in my life. Not forgot to mention I got married on 2005, give birth to YS on 2007. We started a "family business" this year - S Eleven Store. I called it "family" because almost everyone in the family contributes to the business in one way or another. Thank you.

2009, we went to Hard Rock Hotel for getaway with childhood friends during their opening promotion. It was our first Hard Rock stay.

2009, mum diagnosed with a weird blood disorder that even the doctor cannot explain the root cause of it, however we feel lucky we discovered it earlier and treating it now. Her condition is now stable and we feel thankful every morning when we wake up that mum is happy.

2009, start to hear from Audrey, she is planning her wedding. So we are looking forward for a simple yet grand and meaningful day to come somewhere end of the year.

2009, Audrey bought her own unit in KL. It is like another home for us whenever we wish to stop by KL for shopping of any other errands. We even left our personal belonging like toothbrush there for convenient sick.

2009, we went to Siam Reap and visited one of the world greatest heritage - Angkor Wat. We brought YS and my parents along. Everyone enjoyed the get together, especially Audrey & parents with YS.

My 2010, I am looking forward my second baby, expanding business solution for S Eleven Store and another family vacation.

Weep ... Weep ...

This afternoon, while we were busy unpacking stocks from the supplier, Yong Shuan found this small whisk set in the box. He said to daddy : "Can I have this?". Daddy said : " No, you got to earn money to buy from daddy. "

The next thing you know, Yong Shuan walked to the cash register, hit the button, opened the drawer, get 5 cents and hand to his daddy. " Nah, daddy now I buy this from you."

Daddy and Mummy gave Yong Shuan a big big hug and tears rolling. We have to start teaching him cannot simply open the drawer, and 5 cents is not equal to RM 4.30.

Weep... Weep..

Belated Birthday Post


Last July, we celebrated YS's second birthday at Restaurant Kao Lee, Ipoh Garden. We bought him a chocolate strawberry cake. We had Hong Kong Dim Sum for breakfast before we headed north to resume business after our usual Wednesday break. Grandparents Lee and grandparents Tan joined the session.





More of Yong Shuan at S11

Just some photo updates of YS at S Eleven - our household plasticware shop. These days, we have a lot of uninvited guest in the shop - houseflies. Whenever you bring food to the storefront, they will keep following your food where ever you go. We have been practicing to cover the food with the dish cover. We found this one day, when YS covered his own drink with the smallest colander in the store.



Since YS is staying with us in Sungai Petani,
we have bring his "left behind only pet" - 大宏 the tortoise along.
Everytime we feed 大宏, YS will say "大宏, 你 mum mum la!"

Lately, we found 大宏 is not quite happy since his/her partner left him. He hardly eat the snack we fed. We used to have two, one died of some infection on the eyes. And some silly
aquarium owner mentioned that the small animal was bitten by mosquito. I tried to search from the internet, it's said most probably caused by the water.

S Eleven officially opened !

To all my blog follower, I must say "Sorry" , I know it has been long overdue for updates. For the past few months we have been busy with the setting up of our new store in Sungai Petani, Kedah. Yes ! S Eleven is officially opened on the 28th May 2009. Thank you to all family members, relatives and friends, thanks for all the uncountable support and blessing. Thanks to sis Audrey for sponsoring the workstation.


A friend of us , Chin has helped to designed my signboard and flyer. We have decided to have this "Petronas" green as our corporate color. As festive season is just near the corner, we have moved all cake mould and biscuit cutter to the offer bin.



Yong Shuan helps to put label on most of the item, passing to daddy to stack them up on the rack.





He even plays hide and seek with cousin Yun Hao when sis in law visits our store.

New Table from IKEA

During our last visit to IKEA, we bought YS this set of table and 2 chairs.


When daddy busy assembling the table, YS also wish to help.


At 20 months old

We have been busy preparing on a new business. That's why I hardly update the blog.

Following are the photos we captured YongShuan at 20 months old.

One of YS creative outcome: he took all the house key and poke them into holes found on grandma shoe.

We saved 50Cent coins for YS to put into his piggy bank himself.

Weeks ago, we brought Yong Shuan to "Pologround", he played on the playground slide. He was so excited and ever since the trip, he keep saying "上楼梯,坐滑板" in mandarin, meaning "climb up the stairs and sit on the playground slide".


~ * ~ * ~

Yes, like others boy, YS plays car too. He usually will line them up in a straight line. And he will always remember to put the "Natasha" - what we called the yellow hair Pokemon character you found in the photo below on the back of his favorite grey color lorry.

Digital Scrapbooking

Yesterday, I was exploring the latest freebies from ShabbyPrincess while waiting for Shao Wen attending his course in Prai.

Sometimes ago, I wanted to start one digital scrapbook for Yong Shuan. Until now, I only got finger-count pages in my folder. I agreed with God sis Siew, she is right about "when you have a son" .

Let's have a peek on one of the page.
