The Ninja Boast





Have you heard of the Ninja Boast?

The first time I read about it in one of those gossip column, I was trying to imagine a ninja executing a boast...sword and all... quirky stuff... I was thinking.

But as I read on, I discover that a Ninja Boast is actually a term meant for people who so cleverly master the art of boasting without looking like they are blatantly showing off, whether it,s their auntie,s new car or their freakishly stylish niece new outfit!



A showoff of my daughter first self-bake cake....another Ninja Boast!


Instantly I felt a little hot on the cheeks.

Does posting my humble homemade cheesecake on Facebook or Instagram consider a Ninja Boast or telling the whole world about my daughter academic achievement is also counted as one or worst, flaunting my holiday photos is also guilty?



Hard core selfie uncle.....


Am I worst than some people who loves to bombard their friends network with their most flattering angle possible selfies?

On second thought, maybe a little Ninja Boasting is fine however if overdone, it might backfire and instead cause your audience to roll their eyes at you. In a nutshell, skip the theatrics and save the drama  for your mama.

Flashy cars and humongous bungalows does appear on my homepage occasionally to the envious of the general public and of course me included...naturally.

Boastie... be it hugh or humble, we all love to share good things but personally I feel it should be done subtly.



My daughter is a fan of selfies....


Who knows, there might be uninvited characters out there stalking your Facebook and for my wealthy friends, be careful, they might even want to share your wealth....

A BLESSED YEAR 2014





The year of the horse has been good to all of us at the home front.

Mom miraculously recovered from the stroke within two months.

The road to recovery for her was one filled with love and care from all her children.




Mom during one of her acupuncture session...


We all take turns to send her for acupuncture everyday at the hospital amidst the madness of the traffic in that part of the city.


Initially Mom has no confidence on her full recovery and she was very depressed but the Chinese physician at the hospital has been very positive and encouraging towards her plus all the attention that she received from us drives her to push herself  harder to stay strong and positive.

She thought that she would not be able to visit her only brother which is 95years old this Chinese New Year but this was made possible through everyone,s sheer dedication and of course also Mom,s own strong willpower to recover.


In the mood for Chinese New Year...

A week before Chinese New Year, she has all her angpow and goodies bag ready.

Birthday celebration with children and grand children....



According to the Chinese custom, on the second day of Chinese New Year married daughters will go home to pay respect to their parents and Mom has been visiting her only brother every year although her parents are no longer around and this year is no exceptional thanks to her speedy recovery and I hope there will be many more years of these to come.

For Mom, each waking day is an added bonus for her and she is definitely one lucky lady who have so many children and grand children to love and care for her.



Mom is truly excited going on the LRT..
