With Love From Kai Mah – Lina

This is long over-due and i apologize to everyone for taking so long to put the pictures up to show you how generous Kai Mah – Lina is.  John Chow – the pro-blogger and blogging mogul had asked a month ago, what is the greatest asset  of this blog – is it the revenue ?  the # of ppl who comes to your blog..??  or is it your credibility..??

For me, it is none of the above but the good ppl that I’ve come to be friends with – the genuine concern, the true ppl – whom I’ve come to trust and rely on to chat with and support me emotionally & mentalilywhen the need arises.  These ppl – like Lina, Barb, Alice, Macy, Jo, Vien, Anna, Eucee, Gracie, Jenny , Vernessa,  – to name just a few are such wonderful ppl – who have been priceless in my journey in the blogging world.  Is it possible to have such wonderful relationship with your blogging friends..??  OF COURSE..!!!  – afterall, I met “ang moh” online and been together for 16 yrs – and even have an awesome kid with him.  There are so many ppl whom I’m indebted to – for their kindness shown towards me and Chloe.

We received this huge package just after we came home from our mini – vacation in early July.  Yes, yes.. ! i’m such a slacker… didn’t post here .. and say big “thank you” to Kai Mah for Chloe.  Chloe was upset… asked me today.. when I’m gonna have it posted up.. hahhahaha!!!

A limited edition of Hello Kitty – Japanese costume is so precious to Kai Mah .. yet she is willing to send it over to give to Chloe.  Chloe is so touched.. she had asked me again just yesterday.. why Kai Mah would send this to her.. since it was so precious.. ?  I had answered her that Kai Mah loves her so much.. that she is willing to give her the best stuff she has.  And Chloe nodded in understanding.. and placed it back in her bedroom display cupboard.. with great care.  She knows she is not even allowed to bring it to the store – in case she gets it dirty.

Little mini packages of Hello Kitty marshmallows that Chloe so loved.  She shares them with her friends.. but not too much she said.

A pinkish cheong sam that Chloe wore during her cousin’s wedding.  Chloe loved the cheong sam and everyone who was at the wdding loved it too.

Another dress for Chloe with strawberry prints.. and just right for summer.  Chloe wore this the next day for Seafest. Again, she loved it.. and cannot wait to tell everyone where it is from.

A full bag of Jelly beans.. haven’t eaten yet.

And of course, goodies for me lah..!! you wouldn’t think Lina would forget about me right..?? dried scallops..!! woohoo..!! for my soup..! now to find some lotus roots.

Hou Sei for me .. and chinese mushrooms for Chloe.  We haven’t eaten the hou sei and dried scallop but the mushrooms yes.. eaten.. and chloe loved it.. and said.. they were the best mushrooms in the world.. LOL..!!!  So you see .. what this blog’s greatest asset are ..?? good friends.. good food.. and good company..  :)   Thank you, Kai Mah .. for your generousity..!  “ang moh” again quite overwhelmed by all the kindness shown in the world wide web.

PS :  More presents from Kai Mah – to be cont’d..

    MB, you and your lovely daughter are truly blessed with the friendship of so many ppl that you’ve befriended in cyberspace; what’s more, that’s because you are a lovely person with a good heart to start with! You deserve it! Kai Ma, you’re such a generous and loving kai ma!!

  18. Comment by ilovetvb — August 12, 2009 @ 10:21 am

    MB, thank you so much for this blog. I was a little hesitant at first to join the blog – paranoid about cyberspace. After reading all the comments each day, I got addicted to it. I am so glad to have found the blog. Lina and Jo have been such wonderful friends. I’ve been going through some stressful times and they have been so supportive through email. You have shown us through this blog the real meaning of friendship. I can’t thank you enough.

    MB, Lina, and Jo are the best! They most generous and loving people I have ever met (I never imagine through cyberspace, I can have genuine friends). I feel so lucky to have befriended them. Chloe is just so lucky to have Lina Kai Mah and Jo.

    Belle, don`t say that. During my hardest period , you listen to me too. I am thankful to you. I was like you. I have a lot of hesitation when it comes to cyberspace. I saw too many jealously, bragging , comparison within the heart between women in real life and I have fell hard too because I am(still am) a naive person who believe in true friendship .
    But I am a new person now and I tell myself I have to be selective towards friends because this might be the only way to protect myself. I am thankful to God that I could find a few (not all my web fiends. you should know I am not a hyprocrite, I don`t like to say beautiful things on the web if I do not feel so because I realized I can be happier person in this way)wonderful friends like you, Lina, Barb, Fiona , Yee jie etc on ICJ.I am lucky to have you as my friend too, Belle.
