Mini Family Reunion At Cheng Maju Restaurant

Months ago (yeah...it took me this long to blog about it) my family and our relatives had a mini reunion dinner at Cheng Maju Restaurant which is just a stone throw away from our home. Altogether I think they were 15 of us.  We "checked in" around 7.30pm and all of us were very excited. All of us were gleaming to see each other. It's not always that we could sit together and see eyes to eyes while enjoying our food. I feel like a young bubbly kiddo again when we dined.

The place we had our feast.

We waited for the chef to approached us and placed our orders. Actually...we didn't have to crack our brains trying to figure out what to eat. We asked the chef to chose the food on our behalf which he willingly did because...he is my cousin. LOL :D The food landed on our tables almost instantaneously as there were no other customers to be served as it was still early. There were 6 mouth watering dishes to wallop that day. We had a pleasant surprise as two of the dishes were totally alien to us, or at least to me.

My uncle and his family.

Can you spot my lovely wife?


The veterans: My father, my aunt, my uncle and his wife.

Awww...it was such a pleasant feeling to be able to join my relatives and family to have a reunion dinner, albeit a mini one. The seniors were ecstatic to see the young ones joining them to have a feast. My daddy, uncle and aunty were beaming. Their faces and flashes of smiles said it all. Ok, now let us talk about the food shall we? Are you ready? Where's your fork and spoon?

Let's wallop! CHIAK!

Thai-style Fried chicken. Look at the chillies.

Steamed lady fingers with garlic. My first encounter with this exquisite dish.

Prawns..you can tell by the look that it is very crispy!

This is very appetizing-seafood seaweed soup.

Steamed fish. Hmm...what fish is this? Can anyone tell me?

Pork Ribs with salted eggs-the main course!!!

I thought the food is absolutely delicious. 2 thumbs up for all the finger licking good dishes especially the pork ribs with salted eggs. The steamed lady fingers were very special too as it was the first I have seen them almost intact without being sliced in a dish. I wish we could have more family gatherings like this. I am sure we can have more in the future. The next time we have our family reunion, my little Jordan will be joining the the fray to feast all those glorious food. But really...it is all about us, being together as a family, to bond. :)

It's great to have reunion dinner with your family. :)

We Miss Our Little Jordan

He left us this morning...when I came back...I couldn't see my little Jordan in his baby cot anymore. I felt really sad that I couldn't catch a glimpse of my baby when I stepped into the house. My wife was leaning on his baby cot...staring at the empty baby cot. She was crying...she told me she missed our little Jordan very, very much. I was instantly saddened too. A lump appeared in my throat...I almost broke into tears at the sight of my wife. We missed our little Jordan a lot...

Do you know where had my little Jordan been?

He was not in his cot this morning...

Our little Jordan left us early in the morning to be taken care by the baby sitter. Ha :D Yes, he is almost two months old already and my wife will resume her job soon. So we have to send him to the babysitter as both our moms are no longer around to help us take care of our little Jordan. For the past 2 months, every day after I reached home...my little Jordan will greet my homecoming. Today when I reached home...his absence really made me missed him so much. Of course his mother missed very, very, very dearly...so much so that she cried. After all she is the one who bore and brought him to this world :)

We miss his sleepy face.

We miss his attentive eyes.

That's why my wife and I couldn't wait to fetch our little Jordan back home when it was evening already. I guess we have to adapt ourselves for not being able to see our little Jordan for a few hours. We can still see him in the evening right up to the next morning. Yupe! He will only be at the baby sitter's place for a few hours each day. Besides he will be with us on every Sundays. :)

More importantly...

We miss little Jordan's immaculate smile. :D

Malaysia Satu By Faizal Tahir (MP3 & Ringtone)

If you are a Malaysian, then you MUST download and listen this super patriotic song-Malaysia Satu by Faizal Tahir, which I did! And you must make Malaysia Satu your default phone ringtone at least for a month. LOL :D I am sure you have listened to this song for quite some time already. And today you ears will be bombarded by this Malaysia Satu (One Malaysia ) tune again and again for today is our Malaysia's 53rd Independence Day! Right now I am hooking my headphones and listening to this song like...more than 100 times already!

Malaysia Satu is the winning song Lagu 1Malaysia Kita

I have to say that this is the BEST patriotic song I have ever heard about my beloved home soil-Malaysia. No disrespect but in the past all the songs about Malaysia (except Negaraku) are downright boring. But Malaysia Satu is a song in its own league and I doubt there will be another song equally as good as this one. So kudos to the composer Audi Mok and lyricist Nur Fatima for conceiving this brilliant tune for all Malaysians! Of course Faizal Tahir's voice and personality really breathe life into Malaysia Satu and propel it into stardom!

Faizal Tahir-The voice of Malaysia Satu

I like Malaysia Satu so much because this song exudes so much energy and power! It shows that patriotic  song can be fun and hip too. Malaysia Satu is very infectious and I believe even youngsters will like them. This is good the song can instill patriotism into our souls and every day life. And I really love the lyrics, it makes me feel so pumped up that I am ready to tear down all the walls restricting me and take over the world. The song inspires me to scale greater height! Ha :D

Let's listen to Malaysia Satu by Faizal Tahir

Faizal Tahir's Malaysia Satu Lyrics

Ku teguh berdiri tiada lagi ragu atau gentar

I am standing tough without anymore doubt nor fright
Ku terus berani melangkah maju ke hadapan
I am marching forward bravely
Satu impian nyawaku pertaruhkan
I am going to gamble my life for this one dream

(~chorus~)

Genggaman tanganmu, semangatku terus membara

The grip of your hands fan my burning desire and spirit

janji ku pada mu, harapanmu ingin ku laksanakan

I will fulfill your hopes and the promise that I have made

(~chorus~)

kau adalah ilham pada mereka yang ingin berjaya

You are the inspiration to those who will to succeed

Kau terus berjuang demi membawa perubahan

You keep on fighting to bring us changes

satu impian~oh~berjuta harapan

one dream~oh~million of hopes

(~chorus~)

Genggaman tanganmu, semangatku terus membara

The grip of your hands fan my burning desire and spirit

janji ku pada mu, harapanmu ingin ku laksanakan

I will fulfill your hopes and the promise that I have made

(~chorus~)

Satu Malaysia,

One Malaysia,

kita inspirasi pada dunia

We are the inspiration to the world

Nama akan dijulang,

Our name will be held high

kita menjadi kebanggaan
We will be the pride
Satu wawasan bersama bergandingan..
One vision, we will walk together in arms...

(~chorus~)

Genggaman tanganmu, semangatku terus membara

The grip of your hands fan my burning desire and spirit

janji ku pada mu, harapanmu ingin ku laksanakan

I will fulfill your hopes and the promise that I have made

(~chorus~)

My translation is terrible right? LOL :D Honestly, I really love Malaysia Satu. How about you folks? Do you like this song by Faizal Tahir? Packed with lots of punches to give us that Ooomp. This song reminds us that we only have one Malaysia, and it is our duty, responsibility and honour to love and protect her. We all do know what is at stake here right folks? So love our mother-Malaysia! Happy 53rd Independence Day to Malaysia!

P.S. Don't forget to download the song Malaysia Satu (both MP3 & ringtone) to pledge your allegiance to Malaysia ok! :p

Happy 53rd Independence Day To Malaysia

It is that time of the year again folks. 53 years ago, our late Tunku Abdul Rahman announced our country's independence at our holy grail-Datararan Pahlawan, Melaka. 53 years later, we are still living in peace and harmony amidst some uncertainty that is enveloping us such as racism issues, discrimination, unfair social contracts etc. A lot have happened in these 53 years. Some are cheerful ones which will put a smile on our faces; some are downright disgusting and will robbed us of our gleam. Then again...no one says it is going to be a bed of roses right?

How so true!

For this post, I am going to write something more on the bright side. When so many of us are pointing our fingers complaining this and that even though we have already been given so many "crutches", I prefer to count my eggs in the basket. Yes, some of us might felt we are shortchanged while some greedy ones keep on asking for more because they deem it is their privileges and rights. But I just wanna thank God and Her-Malaysia, for blessing me and my family.  She provided all of us with a warm shelter which I am really grateful for.

I am lucky to be able to sip my coffee and read newspaper.

How about you? Are you the ones who count your blessings and make things work? Or are you the ones who keep on complaining and criticizing about virtually everything, demanding to be "fed" with more luxuries? I hope you are the former. True enough nowadays our National Day holds no profound meaning to most of us. But to me it is still very important because it shows how lucky we are to be Malaysians. Don't dis our mother-Malaysia because of all the unscrupulous politicians. Today is the day we celebrate for Her independence! I still believe Malaysia is still the best place to live in the world! :)

Happy Independence Day Mama (Malaysia)!
