Virtuoso At My Piano

"There are two kinds of talents, man-made talent and God-given talent. With man-made talent you have to work very hard. With God-given talent, you just touch it up once in a while." - Pearl Bailey

A very talented young friend of ours played Jay Chou's "The Secret" on our piano and got it 80% correct after only 2 tries (he had never played or heard this song before)...amazing! Watch his fingers fly on the second song!

Signs That Caught My Eye

I saw this restaurant in Singapore called No Signboard Seafood....maybe to save money on putting up the signboard and lighting it up?


Speaking of unusual signboards, here are some that I came across:


A play on words...taken at the Insect world exhibition at Sentosa Island


Go figure!


Shows that we may grow older but not necessarily wiser.


One of the young men in our church has this very interesting T-shirt that takes a while to read.

Carolling Fa La La La La....

About 40 of us from our church went carolling (all dressed in red!) on 23rd December to spread some Christmas cheer. This year we had the biggest turn out for carolling and we went about in a convoy of 8 cars to 4 homes around Cheras area and Petaling Jaya. Was tiring but lots of fun as we sang and snacked at every stop.


We have 2 guitarists this year :)


Singing in the dark...should have brought along some torches!


Young and old alike...all sang at the top of our voices


Our very own special reindeer...with 2 sets of antlers! XD

My Garden Revived

Hubby went to Cameron Highlands and brought home new plants to replace my pitiful shrivelled ones on my kitchen window sill.

Notice the pretty white holders for the little pots

He even bought a bottle of fertiliser. Now the challenge is to keep them alive...at least until the next trip to Camerons!

Last Minute C'mas Shopping

Christmas decorations at Berjaya Times Square

Christmas is just round the corner and I have been on a shopping marathon for the past few days getting presents for family and friends. Went to Sungei Wang and Berjaya Times Square yesterday, braving the horrible traffic snarl in KL. Went to Mid Valley Megamall twice this week and everyone else seems to be doing last minute shopping like me...the queues at the payment counter seem to stretch for miles!



Have finally bought all that I need to buy...except Mr CoolTeen's present. He's gone to Cameron Highlands for a few days for the Youth Camp and I need to get his pressie and wrap it (and hide it!) before he comes back :)



The number of levels at TS is enough to make my head spin


Cages at The Gardens...??

The stage performances at Mid Valley Megamall are always colourful and fun
