Advent Month ~ a Joyful Month

Its holiday time, everyone is busy, busy, busy even my good friend L is going for holiday on the 18/12. Happy Holiday L..






Shawn's christmas tree






Its ADVENT month, time to be JOY. A dear friend of mine A, told me about this. December is a month is time for US RC to WAIT(EXPECTATION), JOY, HOPE, ACCEPTANCE.


*WAIT ~ When we expect something to happen we wait for it to happen. We are waiting Christ to come to us at Christmas.

*JOY ~ Jesus fills our life with many good gifts. Let us try to find JOY in a simple things in life~

*HOPE ~ We are still waiting for the preparing for Jesus' coming. We hope to make Jesus a part of our lives, not just at Christmas but all year long. We can prepare ourselves through prayer. Prayer opens our hearts to let God, love, faith in, and lets out our hate and fear.

*ACCEPTANCE ~ How can we beat light the candle of acceptance? First of all in our own hearts, Let us each remember that God's gift of love is a personal gift for each one. No one else can receive the gift for you. No one else can experience for you the acceptance and gratitude for this wonderful gift. Light a candle of acceptance in your own hearts.


(* I copy these from "The Advent Wreath-prayer guide" a book from a dear friend A) ~Thank you A~






Shawn is looking forward to go to church every sunday. He is very excited that Christmas is coming and he is looking forward to unwrap his gifts....haha. One thing I am happy about is that he told me Christmas is Jesus's birthday, he have to be nice and good. Haha..what can I expect for a 3 year old, bao bei.

Everyday Shawn would mark a cross on his calender, looking forward for Christmas. He also will ask "Daddy, can I open my present today?" Haha! how cute... ^^...

A Sarawak Cake ~ Cake Hitam ( 砂劳越的蛋糕 ~ 黑美人蛋糕)

Sarawak is famous of its' Steamed Cakes and Layer Cakes (Kek Lapis). Steamed Cakes in Sarawak are mostly steamed for hours. I have done a steamed cake that took me 7 hours to cook. Can you imagine that!!  Crazy me!! I can't believe that i have done it just because i love that particular cake so much. I have tasted the cake in a Malay friend's house while go visiting on a Hari Raya. The name of that Cake is Kek Hati Parek. This Malay friend of mine, she is so so kind to share her recipe to me. This will be share in future.  砂劳越有好几种著名的蛋糕. 其中有千层蛋糕和蒸蛋糕.  我各人很喜欢蒸的蛋糕.  砂劳越的蒸蛋糕通常是需要蒸上2个小时以上.  记得我成蒸过一粒蒸蛋糕用了7个小时. 是不是有点'疯了' 7个小时!! 当时, 真的! 太喜欢那蛋糕了(Hati Parek 蛋糕) . 是在有一年的开斋节拜访一位马来朋友时在她家吃过. 就回味无穷. 跟她要了食谱:D  今天先不谈7个小时的蒸蛋糕, 就留下次吧! In this post i am going to share another Sarawak steamed cake which is very popular in Sarawak. It is Kek Hitam which means Black Cake. This cake is also known as Kek Serikaya (Screwpine custard Cake) or Kek Belacan (Shrimp paste ...
