Clear Water Spring

Last holiday we visited this water spring. I was just returned from here when I blogged via handphone and showed you beautiful green farm area.

Scroll to see the whole picture please... you can see there is a large cave on the left... we can swim into the cave, but it's dark and the water is deep....

We have to jump over the water fall to swim in the clear fresh river...
Look at the last picture and see Clay was swimming with hubby there!



Where's Cliff? Cliff is here.... please click to see my other wordless wednesday entry!

Share The Trick on Papua Theme

Here's how to blend the picture with the background using photoshop cs3. I hope I can explain the step by step to you.. I am sorry if I am not good at this.....

1. Put the picture you want to blend above the background (see the picture). Click add vector mask (see the red arrow)

2. Click the gradient tool on the left tools sidebar, and choose the black to transparent color.

3. Drag your cursor (+) from outside to the picture (from no. 1 to number 2). Do this several times and you will see your picture fading away. That's what I do if I want to blend pictures.

Last Sunday, I was asked to be a photographer by my close friends... can you believe that? hahahha.. This couple have enough guts to ask me and risk their son's birthday party documentation into my hands hahahhaa... I said wokay as long as they aware what they asked from me... I am not professional and I am not trained enough in photography! And they said yes.. kekekekeke...

Here's the result... I'll let you peek my job... *grin*

I use Turtle KIT and Nature KIT to make this scraps.

The party theme is Papua because my friend works for Freeport at Papua. They really made a lot of effort to decorate the room with Papua's ornaments and statues. They even provided unique hat made from feathers directly from Papua!

Bed Time at Auntie's House

This scrap is made by freebie from Hannah... thank you very much for the KIT!

Early in January we spent a nite at my sister's house. We had a great time! My mom stayed there as well, so all of her grandchildren were gathered and playing together. These pictures were taken when my mom read a bedtime story to the kids. They listened to her very carefully... (pictures on the right below) After reading time, they were having fun with photo sessions hahaha.... they just love to be taken some shots! Moreover, they became more and more active, raising legs together including my mom... hahaha... after being so tired playing with the kids, Clay and Cliff gave their grandma a massage by walking on her body.... she loves being massaged by them!

(click the picture to enlarge)

I let my children spend a nite with their relatives, so they have a great memories in their happy childhood. Being with grandparents are also very important for them, as they can make their grandparents very happy as well... We thank God for this great moment!

Best Memories of 2007

Juliana and Judy tagged me to share my best memories I got in 2007. For me, this is a time to count my blessings! As you enjoy the pictures below, I want to tag Janice, LadyJava, Sam Chan, Bobby, and Mr. Fong for this meme. I hope you are not too busy these days... anyone who interested in doing this tag, don't hesitate to tag yourself ok! It's perfect for the end of the year!

I try to make a 2007 kaleidoscope from my picture documentations, and as I made this montage, I feel really blessed as there are so many things every months to remember. There were indeed sad moments, sickness, loss of beloved relatives, and troubles but all of them are nothing compared to God's protection, love and He really always be with us. He always gives the best for His beloved children.

For me, the year 2007 had a lot of happiness (and hope for 2008). Happiness because i see my son, grow and grow day by day. I have a great husband. I met lots of new friends from around the world via blogging ^_^ - Juliana RW

In 2007, I become happier than before because my hubby’s got promotion and sure his salary had been increased. This had made my life more comfortable but everything seemed to cost an arm and a leg nowadays. The happiest memory is I see Nelson’s tummy becoming bigger and bigger, he can now count number 1 to number 10, by my guidance. He loves eating and he enjoys every meal. He gives us a lot of happiness by the way he mimic our talking style and making such lovely faces. At first, I was so scared to look after him but now I hope he can be with me all the time. Even I feel tired everyday but I feel my life is meaningful. Hazel

Looking back at 2007, it signifies a few milestones of my life.. the major one of course being the birth of baby zen.. awwww... He was absolutely a delight, though there were times when we were so worried he was not getting enough milk.. as he wasn't gaining weight as much as he should. Now, looking at him, we feel that we had done something right in our lifetime to deserve such such a wonderful baby.. Thank you hubby for giving us baby zen :-) sting

This year has been another roller-coaster year for me. The best memories are the time when Aldrin uttered words of promises to me that things would be better this year onwards although until end of the year nothing much has improved. Also the best memories when I first got my pay slip and saw that it was true that I got a 47% salary raised from my lowly unjustified old salary. I am also happy to see my beloved sister happily got married and watching Jojo (my dog) grow up to be an adorable, beautiful and obedient 2 year old ;p - Amidrin

Year 2007, is where I fully carry out the roll of being a mummy to Terry. I begin to learn how to appreciate the love and care from my parents and try my best to repay them. No other things that so meaningful than I brought up Terry completely healthy and happy as who he is today. Accompany him to grow is the priceless moments - the moment he turn 1 year old, starts to walk, all the cheeky gesture, happy laughing and etc...He has brought us a lot laughter and happy moments at home. I'm so proud of my boy for he have gain lots of praises and pat everywhere he went for being good in an overall. For myself, I'm happy that I can make a good payout in blogging and glad to know many good friends out there. Most great is that I able to help many in blogging. ~ lemonjude

As I count my blessings, I am amazed at God's kindness to my family. We have so much time to be together as a family in 2007, meet some old friends and family, start blogging and make new friends, and even given a chance to meet 2 blog buddies personally. We also visit some great places and have the best holidays we've ever had. Clay and Cliff are healthy, hubby and me has been given some opportunities to serve Him in some ministries. Thank God for everything, more than words can say, I have received and enjoyed His grace abundantly. ~ Trinity from Rooms of My Heart

The Coolest Wedding I've Ever Seen

Last Saturday I went to Jakarta to attend our best friend's wedding, Matias and Yosephine. Matias has been my hubby's best friend from they are teenagers. They have 5 boys as classmates and they have been influenced to each other in positive ways. They still close to each other after 25 years friendship. Matias has been their best man on their wedding day, 4 times best man until he finally married last Dec 8th 2007. Hehehe.. we teased him, who would be his best man if best man got married! hahaha...

This wedding was one of the coolest wedding ceremony we've ever seen. I brought the camera to show you the pictures... too bad, I failed to catch the most important moment! The ballroom was quite dark and I had to use flashlight. When I tried to shot continuously the camera was too slow because of waiting for flashlight to be ready! *sobs sobs*

Well, I hope this picture can give you clear picture about how the wedding goes... This is too cool to be kept for myself! I can't stand not to shout it to the world! :-D

Here's Yosephine, a beautiful bride... she stood alone at the entrance... waiting for her groom. In usual wedding ceremony, bride and groom entered the reception together, but this time is different. Look at her wedding dress, I love it very much! Soooo gorgeous!

This is Matias, the groom... what was he doing up there? Can you guess? He was holding the harness!


Yes! He came to his bride by flying fox!! Just too cool, wasn't it? It's a pity I couldn't catch the moment when he flied down...


He was arrived, put on his suit and took a bouquet of flowers... came to his bride, gave her a kiss and handed the flower... hm...hm... hm... so romantic! (Click to enlarge)


Here's the happy couple!


The beautiful wedding cake


Champagne toast, wishing all the best for this marriage...

Music

My Cliff when he was 11 months old

sure I can sing, play the trumpet and organ... why not?!


Music is creativity.... we can make music from used goods like tins, aluminum cup, water barrels etc. This is called stomp. The picture was taken at general repetition of a music concert.

Music for me is when somebody sing for God... you see that man on the wheel chair... he can not walk but he can praise the Lord... that's will be a beautiful music in God's ears.
Sorry the picture is too small...

and music can make die hard fans histerical! Picture below is F4 concert in Hongkong.
