Top 10 Highlights of Feburary 2012

 

Lantern Dragon

It’s time again to recap on all the fun and excitement that has happened this Feburary. Even though it was a short month there has been a lot of action here.

1. Mummy and Daugther Walking together

I talked  about  how I needed to Keep up with the kids  and building up my energy levels and overall fitness. It will be getting more and more exhausting for me now that Tiger girl is more mobile and running around.

The lovely Sunset

2. I expressed what were my Top 10 Passions and you can clearly see that photography is certainly in my list together with my love for family and food.

Coffee cup

3. It had been a long time since I experience the cold and during our trip to Taiwan the temperature fell to a chilly 12 degree. Luckily we were able to have some tasty  drinks to warm keep us warm. I’m also glad that Tiger  girl did fall ill during or after the trip as she hasn’t been exposed to the cold before.

The main dragon attraction4. It was dragon galore at the Lukang Lantern Festival  as numerous lanterns were built specially to commemorate the Year of the Dragon.  I too many pictures of all the different lanterns there and not only the dragons were magnificent those built by the school children were equally captivating.

5. I made a love confession about the Top 10 Reasons why I love you  and will always do. I’m sure R was touched by this gesture.

Life Buoy

6. It’s great to have a lifebuoy around and I was certainly glad that R was in town and his office is not that far from home on my Most Memorable Day at Work.  I’m really hoping that it will never happen to me again as it would have been a real nightmare.

Robot Lantern

7. I took the plunge and tried out a meme which I have been seeing around on Buckeroomama’s Site. She participates in Scavanger Hunt  very regularly and I thought of giving it a try. However  I doubt that I will be able to take part as often as she does.

Chocolate cake with strawberries

It has been a month of love and showcases all my True loves and why they will always have a special place in my heart.

8. Manners and behaving properly is something which I always insist that the kids do. I was glad to  have been able to review the book – Terrible, Awful, Horrible Manners which help to put the message of behaving  to my 5 yr old.

9. I  started having giveaways and sweepstakes on my blog to make it more enticing for my readers.

At present the giveaways that are still running till march are

Bee on a flower
I haven’t been taking that many pictures lately since we returned from our Taiwan trip.  Here is a shot of a bee resting on a flower which I managed to see while at the Sun Moon Lake. It was really good to stop and observe my surrounds that day or else I would have missed the opportunity to take such a shot.  Many times we get so caught up with the daily chores and tasks that we do not have time to sit down and admire the flowers. I’m glad that I had the chance to do so this month.

We can find that there are lots of wonders in our life if we spend time to really appreciate what we have and not take them for granted. I’m glad that I have headed the call to read more of the bible and am striving to read it everyday. Now that we are into the month of Lent there is even more reason to strengthen my bond with GOD.

What are you doing this lent?

Acting Balanced

1. What was the first live concert you ever attended?
It would be Sammi Chung Live in Concert in the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

2. What colors look best on you?
I would think  blue or red.

3. What is one thing about you that most people wouldn’t know?

I enjoy learning new languages and only started speaking Cantonese after getting to know R.

Definitely R or my dad.
