Hello there....

Ohh…. I miss my blog so much! I haven’t touch it for so.. so.. long…. blame on my laziness.  I’ve been telling myself many times that I should keep this blog and continuously update it.

Sebastian is in Standard 2 now and exam is coming soon, I did not put him to tuition so I just do my best to coach him.  He has grown up so much now that I can’t carry him already.  I should have kick him to his room by now coz he still co-sleeping with us.. hehehehe

As for Sidney, she is in her final year of kindergarten and I’m so worried about her.  Teacher still complaining that she doesn’t want to speak up, even if she speak, teacher can’t hear what she trying to say until get her to repeat few times.

Just hope that both of them growth healthily.

NOT Happy Mid-Autumn Festival

When come to festivals, everyone is looking forward for gathering with friends and relatives where they sit down together and eat together and gossip together but not for me.

All these while, my dearest SIL n family joining us for dinner whatever festival we celebrated whether MIL cook or we go out makan-ing instead of her in-law. She told us that her MIL seldom cooks during festival even on eve of CNY. She has been eating together with us for many many years, lost count. I really don’t have any problem with it, the more the merrier ma…. Rite!

So, last night she came and joins us for dinner as usual. Hubby and I came home late around 7.30pm because we went to buy duck ‘kar liew’. This is requested by MIL and they love to eat duck, so upon reaching home, I saw SIL’s car and I asked hubby, will they start eating already without waiting for us? Hubby told me they won’t la, sure will wait for us one. Sure enough when I get down from the car, I saw them eating happily and I am very very upset and angry too. My unhappiness shown on my face while walking toward dining table and they said the kids are hungry. Yes, I wouldn’t mind if the kids are eating but you all adults are eating too. At least, have a courtesy to call us and tell us, right or not. We are not going shopping and purposely come home late and it’s only 7.30pm not that 8.30pm or 9.00pm.

This Mid-Autumn festival is not happy for me anyway… forget about it la!

When we reached home, that two monster can’t wait to play lantern, actually not the lantern that interest them… it’s the candles. They play happily and we have to clean their mess unhappily… hahahaha

1984 - 2009

It has been a month I didn’t updates my blog.

First, I have too many things on my mind but didn’t know what to write.

Secondly, I have many things to tell but didn’t know how to start. It’s all about my sister.

She gone for almost 2 weeks and I still miss her very much, I miss her sms, I miss her scolding, I miss her everything. I have a lot of thing to share with her, to tell her, to discuss with her and to fight with her. But all these are too late, when she is around, you don’t care much, you don’t talk much and you keep on fighting. It’s all too late now!! Not matter how hard you cry, how much you miss her, she won’t alive.

My youngest sister first diagnosed with cancer is at the age of 9+ and had her first operation in 1995 follow by chemo than relapse again in 2000 and her last operation was in 2006. Dr mentioned that there are no other options because there are multiple nodules (lumps of cancer cells) which are growing and which cannot be surgically removed anymore.

We tried many methods from Chinese sinseh to Indian Sifu for her to get heal. Whoever told us this sinseh good treated many cancer patients we tried until my sister getting tired of trying all the medicine.

Then she become very ill and admitted to hospital as she was collapse at home. I then rush home with hubby when mom’s called me as her hubby was at outstation that time. The moment I look at her seeing her unconscious look my tears start to drop non-stop. I keep on calling her name, check on her heartbeat.. her breath and she still alive, then I told hubby to quickly sent her to hospital. She was admitted to hospital on 26 May 2009 and never come home since then. Mom and my BIL takes turn to take care of her day and night and I travel to hospital everyday to see her. Day by day passed, she become weaker and weaker, Dr told us to prepare ourselves, get all her friends and relatives to visit her and get her son to accompany her everyday. The most regretted I was, the night before she decided to leave us. I am supposed to stay back at the hospital with my mom, BIL and aunt to take care of her but I did not coz I go home.

She finally passed on peacefully 21 Jun 2009 @ 9am in hospital leaving behind her beloved husband, Allan and son, Brandon. Her wake service was at Xiao En Centre and cremation at Nirvana Memorial Park.

It's MY DAY.....

Today, it’s my day… the day I was born 33yrs ago. I remembered my mom jokingly told me that I should celebrate for her instead of me during my birthday coz that time she is at hospital struggling to get me out to this world. LOL!!! Thanks.. mummy!!

So, today I got lots of wishes from sms, FB, email, phone…. whatever communication that can get whole of me.. thanks everyone for your wishes!

I had a good lunch with my colleagues but I have to paid myself as they will only celebrate with me when my boss back on Thursday, late better than nothing, rite!! Hehehe… And I got a bouquet of flower from hubby, thanks hub!!

Just now, I happily go dinner with hubby, ya... only two of us without two monsters around, peaceful dinner huh! And happily hubby drove to the hotel for our dinner; I find something amiss but just walk hand in hand with hubby to the restaurant. The waitress shows us our seat we reserved earlier, upon seating, the waitress asking for the membership card to enjoy the 50% discount. I grab my handbag and look for my wallet…. OH SH*T!!!! My wallet missing, so I asked the waitress whether we still can enjoy the discount without the membership card, no.. no way coz it’s the procedure that I have to show them. Luckily the monorails station just a stone away from the hotel and I told hubby I will take monorail to office to checkout my wallet. Haizz.. what a forgetful wife that hubby had and really lucky that hubby don’t have to send me back to the office at this peak hour where the road pile up with cars. LOL!!

15mins later I returned to the restaurant with my wallet and show the waitress my membership.. oh ya.. and the complimentary cake as well. Half way enjoying the dinner, got a call from MIL saying that Sidney having fever and vomiting. Hubby quickly asked for the bill, gets our cake and rush home.

Although it’s a rushing dinner, forgetful wife and sick daughter at home, I will enjoy my birthday very much and I can still have many.. many.. many birthday to celebrate, rite!!

Complimentary cake from hotel

Flower from hubby

I'm back in one piece....

Wowwww…. It’s almost a month I did not touch my blog. I’ve been thinking whether I should stop blogging since my blogging bugs had gone missing, but I really em sey tak to leave my blogging world. So, decided to continue.

On CNY
What happened during CNY? Beside go visit relatives, giving and collecting angpaos, we went to KK for holiday. This is the first time we did not going back to Penang, so lesser angpao for this year, LOL!!

We stayed at Le Meridien at KK, besides shopping we went to visit Manukan Island and Wildlife Park only. Very relaxing trip and the kids enjoyed it so much.

On Valentine’s Day
We went out for simple dining nearby our housing area. It’s Thai’s food. Didn’t receive any flower or gift from hubby so do hubby, economy no good ma… so cut cost lor.. hehehe

On last weekend
We went to Sunway Lagoon together with mum, sis, BIL, SIL and the kids. The voucher I bought is going to expired this week, so quickly make a trip there. We spent almost a day at Sunway Lagoon from 10am till 5.30pm. Really worth it hor!! The kids played till don’t want to go home and all got tanned included me which every time I went hiding when the sun found me.

On Maid
Again??? Ya… again!!! This maid really a problematic maid, I should have send her off earlier but now too late. Her permit is going to expired this Sept so am not going to renew her again. She used hubby phone to call her boyfriend, her sister and dunno who else in Indonesia and the bill come to 1.2k.

Let me explain further, hubby phone normally put at TV cabinet and charging overnight without switch it off. This has been practice since we moved into this lil’ nest. It never happens to first maid. She is really smart and pretend to be dumb dumb like what Chinnee said. She know how to use phone and know how to call to Indonesia, all the calls she made is from 5am – 7am before we wake up. Each day at least 10 calls, each call lasted 20mins. Can you imagine!!! The first call she made was on 18 Oct, one month after she arrived at our lil’ nest. She went on making calls for the month of Nov, Dec and Jan. Feb statement is not here yet, so I presume her still making calls in Feb (we just found out last two weeks). Funny rite, how come hubby did not realize it coz the phone billed to company, thus we didn’t know about it until hubby’s account person called hubby and questioned him. LOL!! And his company so generous to pay the phone bill which each month cost around 600bucks!! If we knew early, I would have sack her. So, immediately I called my agent and told him about it. He came over on Saturday, and what he did before asking her question, he slapped her twice and she burst out. The agent immediate pulled her out while she is cleaning my room and threatens her to bring her to police station. So, agent told me that he will bring her back to his office and question cum counseling her. When she came back, she apologies to us and told us she won’t make mistake again. Since then, her soul is back to her, no more dreaming AT THE MOMENT. Till today, she did her work well at least a bit better then previous. Minus off the phone bill she owes us, she goes home with less than 2k. Worth it??

Family Getaway

Hubby went to Bali with his colleagues for his company trip and I did not follow, thus I’m arranging my own family trip to Ipoh for 3D2N as it was a long weekend. We drove two cars from KL and one from Penang and the meeting point is Ipoh. I’ve rented three rooms apartment from a colleague of mine; the apartment is spacious enough to accommodate a dozen of us

On the first day we went to Lost World Tambun, it’s was pack of people, nothing much there, just waste of time and $$$. Then at night we went to Ipoh Old Town to have famous chicken rice and had a walked at pasar malam.

The next day my aunt planning to go Bukit Merah then back to Penang. We did not follow so we plan our itinerary. Out of sudden Cameron Highland popped up in my mind, so I get the direction how to go Cameron Highland from Ipoh. Reached there noon, went for lunch then went for some marketing, lot’s of people and jammed everywhere. By evening, we headed back to Ipoh.

The last day we wake up early check out from the apartment and went for dim sum at Ipoh Old Town then walk around that area to buy some biscuits and salted chicken. After that we start our journey to Tg. Tualang for the famous “Tai Tou Har” then back home.

For the whole journey, we are enjoying, excited and tired too. In my whole life, this was longest trip that I ever drove from KL to Ipoh, then to Cameron Highlands, after that to Tg. Tualang and finally back to KL.

Last Day (01.10) @ Langkawi

Luckily last day at Langkawi the weather is getting better no raining, partly cloudy. Managed to get into the pool and playing sand at beachside which they have been making noise since day one we reach here. After that we check out from the hotel and proceed to Cable car which I have also bought the entrance tickets during the fair. Quite disappointed, the hanging bridge was close for work progress and it was very misty can’t see anything from the top. Then we went to Kuah town again for lunch and jalan jalan, buy some chocolates, and precede our journey to airport to depart to Kuala Lumpur.

Reached LCCT and received a sms from my friend saying the news advise ppl not to go northern due to bad weather no island hopping and I’m back to my home sweet home, safe n sound.

Overall is a very relaxing holiday, we spent most of our time at the resort.

Day 2 (30.09) @ Langkawi

It’s was still raining so we can’t have outdoor activities so we went to Underwater World and Bird Paradise where I bought these entrance tickets during the Matta Fair. After went to these two places, no where else can go so we went back to resort and it’s still raining. So basically these two days we were in our resort and hopefully the last day in langkawi the weather is better coz we have to go to cable car.

Day 1 (29.09) @ Langkawi

This is first time we brought Sidney to take flight and abit worried coz don’t know whether she will be cranky, crying, yelling and luckily she did not make a big fuss. We reached Langkawi on time but the weather in Langkawi not well, its drizzling most of the time. Then we went to Kuah town to have lunch after that we headed to hotel for check-in. Did not go anywhere on the first day coz its raining, went to the beach for a while then to Jacuzzi pool. At night went to Kuah town to had dinner.

Last Weekend

Since my maid is here, although she is slow with her work but I got plenty of time with kids and hubby, furthermore, lesser yelling now, become more lovely mother and wife LOL!!

So, last weekend I prepared breakfast for kids and hubby, well for the kids one it’s a bit disappointed coz the eggs I’m using too small for the mould so it’s very deformed as well as the sausages is too huge so when I cut it, it’s like really out of shape. Well the kids like it so much and asked me to prepare again next time.

After the breakfast, they had Ribena ice pops which they waiting eagerly since Friday night. Then they had it again on Sunday which was mango flavour which I fresh squeeze from the mango I bought from supermarket.

They are looking forward for coming weekend to see what surprises I give them again LOL!
