Honey berry, Oakridge mall

It's my hubby's off and we watched Snow White movie at Oakridge mall with our daughter. We chased after the early bird promo for movies in which you just have to pay USD 6.50 instead of paying USD 12 per person. Then he had a great deal where in when you buy any size drink, you get a free small popcorn. We bought a 1 large sprite and we got a small popcorn. I didn't add more butter. We thought it wasn't enough for all of us but since we just had brunch at home, we ended up seeing our popcorn half full when the movie was about to end. We usually buy large sizes popcorn that you can have a refill after you finish that whole junk and have it refilled so we could bring some home. Like you have to have it filled up again just to feel you didn't lose anything and made you money worth the popcorn without even realizing that it's added calories to your bud. I just realized that we are just trying finished it up unless you came in the movie so hungry. In the end I realized that small popcorn is just enough for the 3 of us especially when it comes to calories and health. Not worth for your health I think. Then when we purchased our drink we were deciding if we should go for the large one or medium. We ended up buying the large one and it turns out that we have to throw away after finishing the movie. Though it's just 50 cents difference, I felt like it's not worth losing that 50 cents and adding those calories in your body. At least I know next time. I am not really a big fan of soda.

On our way out, Zoe, our daughter wanted some Rotti Bun and we just loved the Honey Berry Roti bun. We just decided to get 2 of them, 1 plain for my daughter and 1 with cream cheese for me and my hubby. It was yummy and it was enough to fulfill our urge. 

I think Roti buns where made in Malaysia but I have first seen it in a coffee shop in Singapore. Although never tasted it there, it's my first time to have tried it here in the US a couple of months ago which my bro-in-law introduced it to us and it was yummy. I believed that the outer part contains coffee so I advise not to let your kids eat the outside part and that's what my lovely daughter did. She like scraped the outer part and just ate the bread in it.

My first snow, my first weekend at Lake Tahoe


Growing up in a third world tropical loved asian country and had never seen any snow before would really excite you to see one for the first time. Well I got so excited! I know you would hate it if you have lived there all your life but in my case, it was introduced to me slowly. When we came here in the US, it was cold and I couldn't actually move so much but isn't actually snowing, which is good, atleast we were not freakin freezing so we had a good start and made us hunger to see a snow for more.. lol.


It was one saturday chilly morning when we started driving from Nevada to Lake Tahoe. We were like going in circles until we reach at some point a little far away mountains covered with snow. In amazement, I said WOW to myself, I still couldn't believe my eyes that it is snow, that I am actually here, seeing a snow from a far while my hubby is driving, I was so grateful to God that I am married to the man that I really love and that I am with him at this moment with our daughter. Just can't explain how happy I am to have them both and to see a snow I've been longing for. I may have made some mistakes before but I trusted and love God so much that I immediately knew He would take care of us, as always, and that I would be married to the man of my dreams and be with him forever. I was and will always be thankful for all the things that I had and went through and for everything. I feel like I have everything now and I'm so happy. So blessed everyday.

To the very person who is reading this today, I just want to share with you that I realized that our lives may not be so perfect. HAPPINESS, tears, loneliness, loss, EXCITEMENT. Sometimes we blame it on our parents that brought us up but we should understand also that's how they were raised too and sadness with your mom's face and yet she couldn't do anything anymore and did not change her at all until she got older and older. We should stop the cycle and be in charge of our own beautiful lives. No pointing fingers at anyone. We are responsible for our acts and ourselves, we are the only ones who can make us happy. Stop regretting about the past, worrying about the future, just be happy and be glad today and everyday.

We had so much fun while we were on Lake Tahoe. We sled on a junior mountains and rode a snow mobile. It's my first time, all of it!.




Reminds me of my favorite season, Christmas!


We stayed at Marriot hotel and it was so warm and beautiful. Thank you God.

On a Sunday Morning
