I love celebrating Thanksgiving Day with my family here in the USA. I love the family get together and visiting each other. My sister in laws, they are all great cooks. I have pictures to prove it.



Thanksgiving Day is like the Harvest Festival we celebrate back home in Sabah, Malaysia. Every year in the month of May, the DusunKadazan people will have a festival locally known as “Tadau Ka’amatan”, Harvest Festival that is. It is a celebration to thank God for their bountiful harvest of rice. We eat a lot of rice over there in Malaysia. During the festival a lot of home cooked food and yummy-licious homemade local cakes. Eeemm… just thinking of them homemade cakes making me feeling a little homesick.

Did you have a good Thanksgiving Day?
Was it a big celebration to you?
Well … did you shop on Black Friday?
I am not a big fan of Black Friday.

December is my favorite month … why? 
It is the time of cookies making.

Focusing on ...

“Real women fight for something, other than their own emotions.”  ―  Shannon L. Alder Is this true? A real women do not fight with their own emotions? I am just wondering. I am not good at fighting anyway ... physically or emotionally. Is that mean I am not a real woman? What really real woman mean then? I know I am just grumbling around. It is hard to focus in anything when you are just grumbling around. If I am not fighting on my emotions what am I fighting for then? I have to admit ... I get really sad and down and blank. Today I am just feeling empty inside. Am I depress then? Distress? Honestly I am trying to fight all these sadness and down-ness and blank-ness. I don't think anyway understand all these emotions of my right now. The problem is that no one can read it on me because it wasn't written on my forehead. Is this mean I am not a real woman? Well ... are you are real woman? How do one becoming a real woman or women?

I am for once ... a person lack of focus. It seem that I can't focus about anything. Well ... can you focus on anything  When ...  -   your forgotten to take the plants inside the house and they all all got burned. -   you found out your car is smoking while you are driving to work? -   you found the goats was inside the chicken pen and eat up all the feeds, Boo going to get real sick.

Be the Heroine

“Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim.”  ―  Nora Ephron I found this quote by accident this morning. Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim. by Nora Ephron. Who is Nora Ephron? She is the director, screenwriter and producer of the 2009 movie, Julie & Julia. One of my favorite movie. I still watch it once in awhile.  Often dragging my darling hubby to watch it with me. He knows I like Julia Child. I am a beginner collector of Julia Child cooking books. Well ... be the heroine of your life, not the victim. For a while ... since my Mami went away forever ... I have been feeling sorry for myself. I cried now and then every time I think of my Mami. I get mad now and then when I remembered I have to stay at HK International Airport for 8 hours before my next flight ... and knowing that she didn't waited for me. She has gone to be with the Lord since 05.55AM that morning, while I was on the my plane from Los...
