My Little Friends My Inspiration

7 year old colouring

7 year old colouring

I promised my 2 little friends, Jemima who is 7 years old and Alistair who is 4 years old, that I will tell the world about them and show the world their drawings that they did for me. They are an inspiration to me.

It was just amazing how we became friends through blogging. Their mom, Stella, has been a regular reader (not blogger) of my blog and has become a very good friend……just amazing! It was Biren from Roti n Rice, another very good friend, who introduced her to my blog. Stella emailed me one day about my recipe. Before I realised it she was trying some out. I remembered a few months ago when she told me she must have cooked my Plum Sauce Chicken at least 9 times because her children like it very much!! Wow….even I have not cooked it so many times! That was so encouraging!

Children Are Adorable And Funny

Time for some sweet moments to cherish children. Once upon a time we were little, too. Children are always so adorable and funny! I just love them. These are my friends’ children. We were all at a park enjoying ourselves, barbecue and games, when obviously these 2 kids had a story of their own.

Children are an inspiration to me. Let’s remain childlike (not childish) like them. It keeps you young and fun to be with. Enjoy these pictures and smile!

Mother’s Day Happy Healthy Brunch (Guest Post)

Mother's Day Healthy Breakfast

Mother's Day Happy Healthy Brunch

I’m very excited to share this beautiful, healthy brunch for Mother’s Day which falls on 9th May, 2010 in many countries. This is a guest post by Biren of Roti n Rice. It’s such a privilege and an honour to have her as a guest blogger. I didn’t tell Biren what dish to write for my blog but she spotted me right in my heart…a colourful, healthy and delicious dish……just what I love!! I was surprised but really happy. This is really perfect for me for brunch, in fact any time. I always have a glass of freshly made carrot-apple juice in the morning. This plate would fit me very well at about 10.30 a.m. I will be totally satisfied and happy.

Beautiful Mt Kinabalu - Malaysia

Beautiful Mt Kinabalu, Malaysia (South Peak)

I am always fascinated by mountains. I love mountains. They speak so much about life (will share another time). I have climbed a couple very low ones which took about an hour to reach to the top. The highest that I have climbed was Lochnagar, 1155m high, here in Scotland. The climb was tough but the mountain top view was absolutely stunning. But here I’m excited to introduce to you the most beautiful mountain in South East Asia, none other than Mt Kinabalu of Malaysia.

Wishing everyone a Very Fruitful and Beautiful 2010!

Wishing everyone a Very Fruitful and Beautiful 2010!

Today is the last day of 2009! What is past is past and we cannot undo anymore. It’s either we rejoice or we regret. I got up this morning and thought through again what I had achieved and what I had failed to achieve this year. I spent more time thinking about the coming year and all my New Year Resolutions that I have defined over the past few weeks.
