Milkshake

This is Milkshake. 

Milkshake is the recent new addition into our house. It belongs to Eric's sis, and she shall have the full responsibility of milkshake. Aka, cleaning and feeding it. 

This is roughly taken a week ago when Milkshakw is about one week old at home. It's a roughly two month old kitten by then. 

We are trying to train him to respond to its name and teaches him the don'ts around the house. Such as chewing on boxes and everything other than food, rough play with biting and scratches, sit before food, no jumping onto the dinning table. 

We have been playing the fluffy stick to help stimulate Milkshake. Oh how he loves them. (Think we will need to get a new stick soon). He's now able to jump and stand on his hind legs (still wobbly) and has very fast reaction to moving objects. He loved to climb to higher grounds but we discourage him. So instead, he now loves to hide behind tight corners and play peekaboo with us.  

He got a 'bed' made of the cardboard tray and a fleece blanket that Eric's sis bought. I love wrapping him in there and made him nice and cozy. It loves scratching and jumping in and out of the tray, catching invisible 'mouse'. 

That's Milkshake getting ready to pounce.

We can see Milkshake is growing up fast during this two weeks. Hope his cute little self won't grow up so quickly!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all readers! 

May the peace of Jesus and the joy He brings keep you all content and well in the new year!

So, how do we celebrate Christmas Eve?

I went to get my Christmas shopping at 10.45 am. Omg, the shops are sooo crowded! People grab things which are sold at ridiculous prices and quality. We are having Christmas dinner at friends place, so I'm not after too much stuff. 

At 4.30pm, Eric and I go out to our usual Christmas discount shopping! Well, the shops will be close for the next two days. So they put every thing on discount at the last few hours. And yes, they are very very cheap!

We bought mainly fruits. Usual price of $3-$4 for a pack of peaches/nectarine, are now $1!!!  You can see me grabbing peaches, nectarines, cherries, and even half price seafood!

Our simple dinner last night:

Spaghetti with tomato basil sauce, roast chicken (oh, another half price item at the shops) and loads of veges. 

Have a good holiday everyone and stay safe!

Sad ending to the sydney hostage

The siege from yesterday had ended. All but two hostage did not come out alive. 

http://www.canberratimes.com.au/nsw/sydney-siege-over-as-police-storm-lindt-cafe-20141215-127t9p.html

It's a sad day for Australia. Especially in this festive season, where people go about doing their Christmas shopping and offices finishes their last two week of work, children finishes school, looking forward to the summer holiday, and family planning for a vacation. 

Prayers to the family who's mom had died. Prayers also to the family of the man who lost a son. 

Prayers to all the survivors, the injured and the police force.  Thank God that we know that in times like this, we can seek comfort in you, who cares and protects and in control of the situation. 

Please be safe everyone.

Omg, this is so shocking!
Catch it live as it unfolds here: http://www.canberratimes.com.au/nsw/lindt-chocolat-cafe-hostage-drama-in-martin-place-sydney-20141215-1278cx.html

At 9.44am, one or even two person enter the Lindt cafe in the middle of Martin place, Sydney, and held the people in the cafe hostage. Just five mins ago, three hostage had escape, but many are still in the cafe. The number are unknown, but they estimate as many as 50 people are in there. 

The three person who escape are two customers and a cafe worker. 

It was such shocking news when I realised it was the Lindt cafe. We quickly txt our friend whom gave us free Lindt cakes to see if that was where she worked or she knows anyone in the situation. The answer was no, it was not her shop, and thankfully, two of her friends who worked there in that Lindt cafe under attacked was not on duty today. 

Please pray that the situation will come to no violence peacefully and that every hostage will be free safely. Also please pray for wisdom for the police force. Pray also that God will continue to soften the hearts of the gunman involved. 

The whole city CBD is under lock down and people evacuated from the city. 

Stay tune and pray!

Thunderstorm

Sydney is currently having severe thunderstorm for the last week. And when the thunderstorm hits, it causes flash flooding, strong damaging winds and even hailstones. 

We were out yesterday shopping for our friend's baby shower, and saw this 'Doom day' looking sky...

Looks like as if an alien is invading from space. 

Day time turned to night within a span of 10 mins. We got into the carpark, drove out onto the street, and was attacked by strong wind, strong rain with millions of bean like hail stones.  

It was sooo scary. We quickly took a quick detour and drove into the nearby shopping centre car park to hide from the rain. 

The weather is feeling like tropical region, where it was hot n humid in the day and thunderstorm in the afternoon/evening. I hope this crazy weather will end soon as it's making the roof leak and people getting sick from the hot n cold weather.

Take care everyone!
