Reunion Dinner

Today is Chinese New Year Eve. Its a day which is very important to Chinese.
As Chinese Custom, its a day whereby the entire family will get together and sit around to have dinner together. No matter where you are...you will make time to come back for this Reunion dinner to symbolise the reunion of the family.

Its our family custom to eat steamboat since I was young. Always look forward to this day. This is a special becuz my youngest brother Dingfeng is back to stay with us already- tho he has gone to the serve the country. Its something which we have looked forward to for years..since he and his sis were taken away by his mother (not my mum), many years back. We share the same dad but different mum.My mum is the actual wife of my dad of cuz. But we love our little brother and his sister very much esp my mum. She is very kind hearted and loving, caring lady. (I think I take after my mum in this area.) My youngest brother I believe experience our true love for him, that's why he decided its time to come back to us.

However, my youngest brother Dingfeng is having fever now. He sms me from his camp telling me..tho he is back, he is still not able to eat the reunion dinner with us. Feel so sad. No choice. Cuz this year..we also have another addition family member..that's my Eldest brother's daughter. Cuz baby is weak thus in order to make sure baby dun get sick, we got no choice but to have my dear youngest brother eat on his bed. Anyway he is still quite weak so its good to let him rest.

Little princess (my niece) is back today. I can't wait to carry her. I helped to carry her, feed her and pet her to sleep when my brother and his wife and my mother can sit back and relax. I just love children and babies. Too bad, still no chance in having my own. Even when little princess cry, I wasn't at all worry or affected by it. Maybe becuz I have that gift in this area..when asked by my da sao, my sister-in-law.

I am very happy I can get to carry little princess for a couple of days of this new year. Little princess grew really fast..Now she is round round round....

She is wearing the pants bought by my godson's mum, Sandra in Auz. Thanks dear..can you see the pants she is wearing..Its from you rite? Its very pretty..thanks..in time for new year tho its still big for her but length wise is just nice.

Oh and here is the little corner I created near my bed..I called it "THE LITTLE MUSICAL WONDERLAND"

Alright its time to sleep..havent been sleeping much..need my beauty sleep to look good for New Year.

Happy New Year everyone!

Final Destination of Everyone

Money often deceive us, leading us to forget we will die some day. Poor people will die, Rich people will also die.
In the bible, it says to the Rich, today your life will be taken from you, what will happen to the riches you have stored up for yourself.
So be Wise- store up for yourself treasures in heaven which never rot as it has eternal value.
Our stay in this world is but only max. hundred over years..
but compare to life in eternity after death, what seems long here is but only a grain in heaven.

My Zodiac

Angeline's Zodiac Sign - TAURUS

9 may Taureans never slap or sting. Rather, they creep up on you, affect you deeply and leave their indelible impression on your soul. Think of Taurus as a long sensual kiss. A huge tender bear hug. Or an eiderdown on a cold alpine night. Taureans are warm (but sometimes stodgy) customers.

Many Taureans work with their hands. Even if a Taurus is a computer expert and seems more cerebral than manual, nine times out of ten there is a hidden craft or hobby lurking behind the scenes. Taureans enjoy forging beautiful things from natural materials. In fact, they are attracted to all sorts of beauty. Music thrills them. Flowers enchant them. The countryside seduces them. And art is their natural habitat.

Taureans are forever building their own workshops and renovating barns and old churches. They are not only home-loving, they like to get their hands into the cement and slather on the plaster, if only for the tangible joy of playing in the mud.

Taureans do not take kindly to sudden change. They like to be wherever they are supposed to be when it is time to be there. Taureans readily adjust to routine and for that reason make fabulous employees. Precipitous and unexpected events requiring flexibility and resilience may cause Taureans to dig in their hooves and refuse to budge. Bulls are obstinate and determined to hold their ground. It is wiser not to try to talk Taurus out of a sulk. Just let him paw the earth and snort and seethe on his own. Take a tranquilizer and a walk. Soon, when the inevitable becomes blatantly inevitable, Taurus will budge of his own accord, come out of his sulk and go with the flow.

Sensuality belongs to Taurus. Wherever there is pleasure you will find a Taurean plunk in the middle of it all. They love to bask in the "good life." Taureans cannot resist the tug of the opposite sex. When an attractive newcomer arrives on the scene, count on Taurus to see to it that the outsiders have a drink, are made comfortable and have slipped Taurus a telephone number or two.

Taureans are amorous and romantic without being flighty or maudlin. They are tender and don't mind public displays of affection. Love and all of its expressions appeal to the Bull. Taureans can be counted on to stray a bit where sex is concerned, but they never flaunt their infidelities and usually avoid sticky extracurricular entanglements. If you love a Taurus, feed him.
