Autumn in Japan 2009

2009-11-30T19:28:00.004+10:00

We visited Japan over thanksgiving weekend! We left Guam on Nov 26 and spent 4 days there. We were embraced with the nice cool weather and the marvelous change of autumn colors which Japan has to offer. The Ryokan Ohto was not too far from the Kyto Station. We took an express train from Kansai directly to Kyoto. The next day, we spent the whole day taking public buses and was amazed how easy it was to travel by yourself there. We visited the golden temple called Kinkakuji Temple. The japanese garden has a class of its own. Our tour stop to see the ancient imperial palace and our last stop was at Kiyomize Temple (known as a world heritage site by UNESCO). We were totally so tired after the whole day walking sightseeing this beautiful city.

Our second day, we spent traveling by train to Nara to see Todaiji Temple, Nigatsu-do Hall, Kasuga Grand Shrine, 5 storey pagoda. In the afternoon, we continue to Arashiyama at Sagano to see the beautiful autumn colors by the river. It was a cold day but wonderful indeed. There were many Japanese whom came out in the cold to enjoy the beautiful gardens, and autumn colors. We picked the right time of the year to visit Japan. We truely enjoy the sights Japan has to offer. An autumn dear to our hearts indeed!

Kevin turned 2

2008-07-17T12:53:00.003+10:00

Hello everyone... Yippee.... Kevin turned 2 years old last Thursday on July 10. Mommy have been terribly busy and hadn't much time at all. Kevin and mommy arrived to Taiwan on June 29 and been here since then. Mommy is currently teaching English to some children ages 8-11 years old. Kevin joins mommy in her classes in the morning and in the afternoon he goes to a babysitter in the campus. The Taiwan Adventist College has a beautiful surroundings. There are lots of green trees and lots of hills surrounding the place. There are many little ergot's (white birds) everywhere on the ground. It is really pretty.

Unfortunately mommy did not bring a USB cable to upload the pictures to the computer to share. So you will need till we get back to Guam after Aug 19.

Anyway, mommy did had a birthday celebration with Kevin. Teacher Lourders took us out for a nice steak dinner at Puli. We even bought a small cup cake for Kevin. When we got home, we had a conference call with daddy and sang happy birthday. It was simple and nice.

It rains almost every afternoon. Sometimes really heavy rain pour flood the place. So far after 3 weeks, we have visited Sun Moon Lake and the Aboriginal Culture Village. The culture village is actually an amusement park. It has many rides similar to Disneyland. The kids enjoyed themselves. Even Kevin took a few rides on the merry go round, Thomas the train, balloon ride and boat cruise.

So far, that's all for now. The next class will start this Sunday and it will be a busy time for everyone involved in preparation of the Intensive English class. The school is expecting nearly 100 students.

See the plane....???

Easter Time again...

2008-03-23T20:50:00.011+10:00

It is Easter time again... At Guam, many Catholics celebrate this special weekend. It starts off with a Good Friday holiday. Many pilgrims will hike up to Mt. J. Manglo carrying a freshly cut heavy cross up early in the morning. The walk up to the mountain can be very tiring if you don't have any stamina.

We took the opportunity to take a Sabbath Hike there in the afternoon. It was a lovely walk as the pathway are clear for Good Friday activity. The view remains so breathtaking as usual.

On Sunday, we celebrated Easter at aunty Helen's house in Yigo. It was Kevin's first Easter Egg hunting and he had a great time finding lots of eggs... He calls out to mommy and said "Egg Egg" pointing his little fingers at it. He spent the whole afternoon in and out of the pool with Veronica (helen's granddaughter) and I finally get to meet Gia & her whole family.

Visiting Capital Reef National Park

2007-12-01T04:33:00.000+10:00

I love the rocks and yellow leaves background during autumn time. I even get to play the leaves.

This is aunty Alynn Wiley who hosted us during our visit to Capital Reef. She lives in a very cute barn house with lots of cats and horses. There is so much space in her barn where she lives. Thank you for being so hospitable to us. We really hope to see you soon someday.

The multi-colored cliffs common to Capitol Reef National Park and this region inspired the Indians who once lived here to name it the Land of the Sleeping Rainbow.

Capitol Reef Country is conveniently located in the South-Central heart of UTAH in the Western United States.

I love the surroundings with lots of colors of the leaves everywhere. There were red, orange, yellow and brown colors everywhere. I love the river flowing sound at Zion National Park. Byrce has nice orange rocks in a BIG area. Capital reef's tall red rocks are fascinating.

Viva Las Vegas

2007-11-17T01:15:00.000+10:00

Oh..... the lights on the strip were too much to resist. It is just so colorful and full of life on every corner you slip by. Gambling slot machines, pirate shows, roller coasters, blast of fountains, a cruise on Venice canals simply fascinate me. Poor mom & dad were on their feet all day long walking up and down the strip. The place was huge. I truely enjoyed the POROVICH comedy show as it shown lots of live cats and dogs in their cuteness. I remembered meowing and woahing throughout the show. Mommy & Daddy stayed at the nice castle hotel called EXCALIBUR.. It was really BIG and lots of walking everywhere. I see jackpot machine all around me. What a way to remember Las Vegas.

Hoover Dam, also known as Boulder Dam, is a concrete gravity-arch dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Arizona and Nevada. The dam, located 30 miles (48 km) southeast of Las Vegas, is named after Herbert Hoover, who played an instrumental role in its construction, first as Secretary of Commerce and then later as President of the United States. Construction began in 1931 and was completed in 1935, more than two years ahead of schedule. The dam and the power plant are operated by the Bureau of Reclamation of the U.S. Department of the Interior. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981, Hoover Dam was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1985.

Lake Mead is the reservoir created behind the dam, named after Elwood Mead, who oversaw the construction of the dam.

Kevin visits Arizona for the first time. It was a very long time to get to the destination. It took us more than 24 hours before we reach to Holbrook, Arizona. Yes.. I was really jet lag. It took me a few days before I got adjusted to the timing finally. Uncle Dudley and auntie Eunie took us to many places such Sedona, Petrified Forest, Canyon De Chelle and Grand Canyon.

Visiting Japan

2007-04-03T20:25:00.000+10:00

My first visit to Japan to see Cherry Blossom. We stayed right next to the Sumida Park in Asakusa. From our hotel, we are able to see the cherry blossom blooming along the Sumida river banks. We took many pictures... mommy & daddy will display more pictures we took on their blog too.

This picture was taken at Hamarikyu Gardens. Mommy said that this place was created in 18th century by the royal family of Japan. We took a boat cruise along the Sumida River to reach the gardens. There were many Japanese trees and plants.

In Loving Memories of Grandma

2007-03-11T17:00:00.000+10:00

Welcome Home

One of the certainties in this life is tragedy.

But when it touches within our lives,

We cry so much we cannot see.

That we cannot see.

Through all the tears and pain that we feel,

We question what we believe.

We long to hold the ones we've lost,

But it just cannot be.It cannot be.

It's times like these we turn to each other.

Strengthen our bonds,Turning stranger into brother.

Forgetting all our past mistakes,Learn to forgive, learn to forgive.

No longer part of our daily lives,They've been taken away.

We wonder how we sustain ourselves,

And make it through the day.Make it through the day.

Though our loved ones may be gone,And you feel so alone.

When the end is finally near, They'll be there to welcome you home.

Welcome you home. They'll be there to welcome you home,Welcome you home.

Md Lee Liang Eng
Born on June 1, 1943

borned and raised at Segamat, Johor... and live her life in Petaling Jaya, Selangor ... Malaysia

My grandparents love story began during highschool in Segamat, been dating for a long while before settling down at age 26. Grandma married grandpa on February 2, 1969 to the Chong family. Grandma was the 2nd eldest daughter of eight girls and three boys from the Lee family.

************************************************************************************

Shortly after the marriage, uncle Kin Kiat was borned, four years later, mommy was borned and followed by aunty Sze Ngee. The whole family moved to Petaling Jaya in the suburb of Kuala Lumpur. Life was difficult... but our grandparents have lots of determination and persistence to keep the family going for a better life. Grandma works very hard sewing and baby sitting to earn a living while raising their children. Grandma teach many values and provide great love to the family.

************************************************************************************

That is grandma holding mommy when she was just one year old. I do resemble like mommy when she was little.

Mommy's first birthday party. It was a traditional birthday party with lots of food and gifts. There were red eggs and ginger vineger served.

Their very first home in Petaling Jaya in 1974.

Many parts of their growing years in this first home. Lots of birthday celebrations and memories to recalled.

"A loving heart, a beautiful spirit, these are the things that last forever"

***********************************************

My very special moments with grandma when I was borned in July 2006. Grandma helped take care of me while mommy was recovering from her c-section operation and confinement period after delivery. Grandma fed me, carry me around and rock me to sleep when I refused to get to bed. Grandma even organized the full moon party for me. There were many guests whom grandma show me too. She was really proud of me being her first grandson.

This was our lastest and very last trip together. I was 5.5 months when I traveled back to Kuala Lumpur to visit my grandparents with mommy & daddy. We had a short vacation to Cameron Highlands on December 31, 2006. I am so glad to get to know my grandparents, spending this quality time with them was special. Never would I know that this was the last time I will ever have with grandma. I am deeply sadden by her departure.

"Your role as wife, mother, friend and grandmother will be treasured deeply in our hearts forever."

Kevin & Keri

2007-03-08T21:10:00.000+10:00

I finally meet with my cousin Keri from Germany. Keri came with her mommy & granny from Germany to Kuala Lumpur for grandma's funeral. They stayed for more than a week. Poor Keri & mommy were sick with diarhea and vomitting. The bacteria was also passed to her granny and her daddy and later to me and mommy. We had a terrible time and I hated the medication. Poor Keri was crying and fussy adjusting to the weather and many people around her. She does have a great smile! I hope to see her soon again.

Kevin's first Chinese New Year in Malaysia

2007-03-08T20:36:00.000+10:00

My very first Chinese New Year to welcome the year of the pig. We did not celebrate because of grandma's recent funeral. But many of mommy's friends gave me "ang pow" or red packet with money. I grab the red packet and put to my mouth. It tast really weird! I love meeting all of these uncles & aunties. They were all very nice to me.

Baby walkers

2007-01-18T14:26:00.000+10:00

Yea... I now can walk like a baby... bumping everywhere, navigating front, back, side ways.. sometimes I get lost finding where mommy & daddy is or I get stuck moving forward, so I get help by crying out loud and just wait for my rescue to come. Sounds like fun yeah!... I am really enjoying every minute of it now.

My first solid food experience

2007-01-18T14:17:00.000+10:00

Well... my parents thinks I am ready for some real food now. Why? Since I turned 6 months and started grabing mommy's food whenever I sat with her during meal times. It was a different feeling putting something into my mouth... so hard to learn swallowing. Mommy made carrots, peas, potatoes, squash and banana into my rice cereals. I am begining to enjoy it as time goes by.

Happy New at PJ Hilton

2007-01-18T14:14:00.000+10:00

My short visit to Malaysia

2007-01-05T20:49:00.000+10:00

I was on the plane again for the holiday season. There were many travelers in and out the airport. Mommy had to get me out of bed in the wee mornings to catch the flight to Manila before heading off to Kuala Lumpur. We waited for almost 7 hours transiting at the Manila Airport. It was so tiring! The whole day traveling exhausted us all that we had to cancelled our driving trip to Singapore the next day after arriving to Kuala Lumpur. However we had lots of fun too meeting grandpa & grandma, the newly wed couple uncle Kin Kiat and auntie Joyce, all the uncles and aunties whom met me when I was just borned. Our trip to Cameron Highlands was fun. We enjoyed the cool air and saw lots of vegetable plantations, strawberries, flowers and tea plantation. It was cold at night and in the early morning! We ate lots of yummy Malaysian food the whole trip and saw many cute animals. Mommy's friend auntie Melissa brought us to PJ Hilton for a nice Hi-Tea. I was glad to meet her daugther Amelia. She is sweet and cute. Too bad daddy had to work, so we had to be back to Guam after new year. I don't want the holiday to end so soon.

AWR organized a special Xmas party at Pacific Island Club Waterpark yesterday. Mommy & Daddy took me there. For the first time, I was experiencing water in the public. I look so cool in the sunglasses for babies... people in the water park were admiring me for being so cute. I get to watch mommy & daddy play all the fun stuff like golf puting, trampoline, ping pong, basketball, table football and billard. I can't wait till I can join them to play too. I specially love floating on the water with the mat. It felt so relaxing and fun. This xmas is so warm and special as it is my very first.

Hey... mommy stop showing off my cute body.. he.. he.. that's as close as you get to see... Mom told me that @ 7 weeks last Monday Aug 28, 2006, I did a miracle thing. Mom laid me front on my chest and I wriggle around and guess what? I turned to my side and laid there. Woah... that was a mile stone for me. I didn't know I was that strong. Now mommy & daddy have to be especially careful with me.

I have a new cousin!

Her mummy, my auntie or mummy's younger sister gave birth to baby Jennifer through C-section like me at Karlshure, Germany. Oh boy... now I will have complication talking to her. Maybe we can have baby talk sometime soon. But I will need my daddy to save money for me to be on the plane to visit my cousin soon.
