Sidney's Day

Yesterday was Sidney’s birthday and also concert day but she was sick at the same time.  Luckily she was not cranky so we still going to her concert.

We celebrated her birthday at Look Out Point and at the same time there are few more people celebrated their birthday, it’s seem that quite number of people sharing the same birthday ^_^

It was so cooling up there and windy; maybe it’s too cold that both hubby and I fall sick. 

Not really a smooth day for all of us coz three people fall sick L





 

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

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!!

A Short Trip to Penang

How we spend our school holidays? Our initial planned was going to Malacca to visit n stay at my friend house (free stay, free meals everything free except petrol n toll – am I rite!) but it was called off due to hubby outstation trip, so we heading to North instead which is Penang. Hubby was in Ipoh then Penang.

I drove all the way from KL to Penang with three monkeys and my mom. Luckily they did not make a big fuss during the journey to Penang, if not I will throw them one by one out of the car. It’s quite tiring driving alone and I hope I did not get summon(s)… hehehe

It was raining when we reach Butterworth and the rest of the days were hot. Did not go anywhere on first day, rest n relax at aunt house. On 2nd day, we planned to go Bukit Bendera (more than 10yrs did not go there) but the cable car was closed so we head to Batu Ferringhi. At night was at Gurney Drive and heading back to Butterworth. 3rd day preparing to return KL and before heading back we went to my late grandfather house.

It’s was a short trip but the kids enjoyed.

A Hectic Saturday

Morning
Wake up early in the morning to prepare to send maid to airport and at the same time received sms saying flight retime from 10.55am to 2.55pm. Haiz… I have to reschedule my itinerary becoz of this stupid airline retime their flight. Instead of me n hubby going, I have to get in-law n the kiddos along, since Sebastian’s Sports Day is at 2pm. Reached airport went to check-in counter and her luggage was overweight by 11kg and has to pay RM165. So she paid for it then I went to money changer to get some IDR for her as a pocket money. Sidney was like koala bear stick to the maid and do not want to let go her. When her kakak went into the immigration, she cried so loud and everyone was looking at us as if I kidnap the little girl. So embarrassing…

Afternoon
So, quickly get out from LCCT and proceed to Bukit Jalil. We have to reach there by 1pm but with the jammed at Sg Besi we reached around 1.30pm. And their activities finished by 4pm then quickly rush home and take a rest before continue with another event.

Evening
Rush to visit my buddy as she just gave birth to baby boy but she was discharge from the hospital without informing me… o.O then from Bangsar we rush to Sri Petaling to attend hubby’s friend full moon party. We reached there around 8,30pm and all the food almost finished. Hubby managed to get a little bit of mee hoon, little bit of fried rice and few sticks of stay for four of us. The rest gone… and drinks also habis except for beer. O.O
Luckily I’m not that hungry at that time, so I told hubby that he stay at his friend’s full moon party and I’m going to my buddy house to see her baby.

Then, on the way back to my home sweet home. we tar pau supper and have a nice meals at home.

Lousy Cook

Last few days I was on leave as MIL went for holidays, she only backs on coming Thursday. Now is hubby turns to on leave and takes care of the kids. For the last few days with the kids at home was a tiring day for me. Although I’m not working but I have to wake up early too coz need to send Sebastian to kindy then went to do some marketing, and this really give me headache. Dunno what to buy... dunno what shall I cook. I’ve been rounding and rounding and rounding the market to see what I want to buy for cooking…. And I’m not a great cook so I have to buy something that is easy for me. Luckily I only cooked for three days ie. Thursday, Friday and Monday and these three days already make me go haywire.

Ehh… wanna ask ya… how you the full time mummy cook ya… cook everyday?

So, I told hubby, now your turn to take care of the kids and your turn to do some marketing and cook for me. He said he will just pay and bring us out for dinner instead... LOL!!

Chinese New Year (Eve - Day 9)

Reunion Dinner
This is first time ever we had our reunion dinner outside. Normally MIL insist to cook but this time she suggested to eat out….. maybe she too lazy to cook liao. So, we had buffet dinner at Essence, Imperial Hotel for a change instead of Chinese dinner. This is also the first time a big group of people get together which include moms, sis, god mother and god brothers at total of 20 people. It’s really a big and happy get together reunion dinner. Hopefully, next year we can have this again!!! Then went home early as hubby need to pray.

Day Trip to Malacca

Yesterday was at Malacca for a day trip, we went to D-paradise as I bought the tickets during Matta Fair, which valid till this year end only. There is nothing much there, can’t see any fruits maybe is not fruiting season, and most of the fruit tree planted there half dead. They claim they have Robber Crab from Christmas Island, Australia, I can’t even see the foot print not to say the crab. We reached there around 11am and finished rounding the whole farm by 2pm plus resting, after that we went to Malacca town for makan-makan, it was raining when we left the farm.

When we arrive Malacca town, it still drizzling then the rain stopped, luckily. Then we went for a walk at Jonker’s Street, after that we proceed to Stadthuys where Sebastian wants to ride on trishaw. So hubby takes together with Sebastian and my nephew Brandon for the ride. The kids were so happy and all looks tired when we were on the way back to KL. Safely reach home at 8pm.

I'm so mad....

I’m so mad….. really really mad….. mad at you…. ya… is U…. YYM. You told me every Friday nite you will be going out with your friends for a drink and came back late night, I din say a word. Every Saturday, my job routine is to sent Sebastian to class then went to market and Sidney will tag along, so I will carry Sidney and Sebastian will hold my hand at the market coz I did not bring maid along, I din complain. You… what you do… you sleep till late noon, wake up praying and eating…. then you complain I did not take care of the kids and just in front of my laptop doing nothing. So, tell me what u want me to do… sit here 24hrs looking at the kids…. then u better send me to Tg. Rambutan.

On weekend, when I tell u we want to go shopping, then u will give me that kind of face, as if I everyday asking you go shopping. Sometimes, I think back…. am I a good wife, if not why u complaining about me? Am I a good mother, if not why the kids always not listen to me?

Tell me… how to become a perfect wife and mommy, I really dunno……

Red Light Stop!!

This morning weather so cooling, when I wake up, out there still drizzling, how nice if it a weekend so can sleep longer. While driving on the way to in-laws house, there is one traffic light turn red fairly fast, so it piles up the queue. We have no choice but speed and run after the red light and suddenly……….

Sebastian: Di…. It’s red light, you must stop.
Daddy: ………….
Mummy: ……………
Sebastian: Mi….. it’ red light, why daddy din stop the car?
Mummy: …………… (looking at daddy and luff) Dear, why you speed?
Daddy: Sorry ya… it’s daddy fault. It’s red light we have to stop, so no next time ya. Promised!!
Sebastian: Teacher say, green light go and red light stop. No more next time ok…. Police will catch you one and sent you to police station and you sleep there.
Daddy: Ok!! Ok!!

Kids nowadays talk and act like adult, what we do and what we say can really affect the kids and how we bring up our children.

First, we went to Lantau Island then only proceed to Disneyland. The road journey to Lantau Island was really hectic. The cable car was closed so have to take bus goes up. Went up there just to had vegetarian lunch and climb up the staircase which was really tired on the sunny day.

Then we proceed our journey to Disneyland where the kids are looking forward to. Reached Disneyland around 4pm (so late huh!!) but luckily the Disneyland closed at 11pm.

I went for hair wash as I cannot tahan anymore. The doctor gave antibiotic, fever and flu medicine, total it cost around HKD250. Went back to hotel and feed Sebastian with the medicine and three of us have a good sleep until 4pm. The antibiotic really help alots, Sebastian became very active again (should have bring him to see dr the day we reached HK). We went to Tsim Sha Tsui for shopping and waited for the other two families to meet us there. We shop till we drop.

My friend's hubby prompt us, and he quickly took cab and went to the terminal to bought the tickets, while we were in the hotel packing our stuff, it's only one slot of time is available ie. 12.30pm, our flight is at 5.50pm. Have no choice but to get that time slot, reach Macau at around 2.00pm and we went to New Yaohan Shopping Mall a walking distance from the Macau Ferry Terminal. Had our lunch and shopping there and we catch a cab to airport. All of us reach home safe 'n sound.

Hubby promised to brought us back again together with Sidney in two years time but not this season will be year end. At least the weather is cooler.

Depart KL to Macau, we took the earliest flight and reached Macau at 10.30am, then rented a van to fetch total 10 of us to hotel. Once reached hotel, get a quick shower 'n lunch, then call the van that we rented earlier to bring us around Macau. The weather was so hot, we ladies tried to hide from one corner to the other corner from the direct sun, the kids was running here 'n there playing with each other and the daddies was walking steadily behind all of us. The only outdoor place we went to is St. Paul Ruins, other than that all shop, shop, shop coz we want air-cond. The final destination was at Venetian, the newly open Casino in Macau, just partly open as most of the store are still under renovation. We did not went to casino as the kids was there.

By night time, we went back hotel and have the portogese dinner at the back road of our hotel. The food not bad just a little bit expensive. Sebastian was complaining he had stomach ache, I did not finished my food and quickly brought him back to hotel, luckily it was near. Then went back to hotel, the little monster suddenly so active running here n there and jumping up n down from the bed. So, I text hubby saying no need to hurry as he son is very active now. Poor mummy did not have a proper meal. But from Sebastian face you will notice that he is about of getting fever.

Wake up at 8am and notice that Sebastian had fever, quickly feed him with medicine. Then we went for breakfast and jump into shuttle from hotel to ferry terminal and took ferry to Hong Kong. Reached Tsim Sha Tsui Ferry Terminal at 2pm, then took cab to our hotel in Mongkok. Sebastian looks ok at the moment, after dilly dally here 'n there we went to jalan jalan around Mongkok area. After that we took cab to Sha Tin to had dinner. The food there quite nice especially the "Siew Yu Kap" (Pigeon) really yummy!! yummy!! The food there cost around HKD960 for 10 of us 6 adults 4 children. Sebastian still got stamina. Then we back to hotel and feed Sebastian with medicine again. After taking the medicine his fever goes off but it came back again after four to five hours. Not have a good night sleep as the bed was so small to fit three of us and my boy is having his sweet dream talk the whole night, so the poor daddy have to sleep on the floor.
