SetemKu

This is something new for me. By just paying about RM20,
you can get 20pcs of 30sen stamps with your own photo.

I received mine today after waiting for about 2 weeks :-)

Twin Tower Lantern

Lantern made from recycleable materials. There are doors to be opened so that candles can be inserted.

And we carried this lantern and joined the TI Rukun Tetangga walking around the neighbourhood on Sunday night 11 Sep....very practical indeed!

Another wedding odd job

Toddlers at this age can take up a bit of odd jobs now and then... Charmaine had her chance as a flower girl last July. This time is Ivan's opportunity to be a ringbearer. And he got to tackle a pretty flower girl too. Cun!

Cornflakes Tower

Trying to make use of the dehydrated apple slices given by neighbour, mummy mixed cornflakes with sugar, honey, raisins and almond slices and baked in the papercups. There were so much servings that we have to stack up the papercups on several plates in order to save space!

A Day As A Flower Girl

During Aunty Sally's daughter Rachel's wedding, Charmaine was made the flower girl. RM80 was spent on that white dress and another RM30 on the shoes. And when she got her
'upah' (angpow RM28), not a single cent would she share with or pay back anyone...huh!

shying from the camera?

Round and round and flop......

Visiting Grape Vineyard

We visited a grape vineyard yesterday. It's just beside a man-made lake. We are not aboard to any 4 season country, but just took half a day to complete the trip from home. It is just about 100km from our home. It is at Tasik Beris, Kedah (10 minutes from Sik Town).

Direction: Penang --> Gurun --> Jeniang --> Sik --> Tasik Beris

Entrance Fee (Open Daily): RM3.00 (Adult), RM1.50 (7 - 12 years old)

Fresh Grape Price: RM12.50 (500gm)

Not a bad place to visit, but don't expect too much...

eee... ticklish...

Ivan's Favourite Toy

Ivan's favourite toy recorded so far: Transformers Optimus Prime.

We got it from McDonald's Happy Meal and he loved it at once -- transforming it from robbot to truck and v.v. Mind u he has neither watch Transformers cartoon nor movies before.








He loves to bring it with him everywhere he goes and being careless, he had to call for a search team to retrieve it. Finally in March after the family reunion (with the Aussies), Optimus Prime was said to have left in Waipo's house. (Actually the toy has always been with mummy all the time.) He surely missed his toy. But at the same time he accepted the fact that he was indeed careless and therefore would have to wait... for a few months.

When the Transformer was returned to Ivan, it was finally better cared for this time. No more search team except for himself. It is the still first thing he would look for when he wakes up in the morning. And for that, he develops a habit of placing it next to the bed before going to sleep.

Good investment in Happy Meal!

Up Close with the Elephants at Kuala Gandah

Entry to this elephant sanctuary is FOC, but donation is welcome. I do wish many people will not only have the chance to be up close with the elephants, but also to contribute a part in wild life conservation.

kena marah

Someone told me that toddlers under 3 have super good EQ. Eugene has proven this fact.

He was told to leave the dining table after the last feed, At the very last minute, he grabbed a bowl of soup and whoala...all that could not be salvaged went to the floor. We paused for a moment, looking at the mess. I scolded him, beat him lightly on the naughty hand, and told him to stay aside while I cleaned up. He really did stood aside and kept really quiet.

After my final round of clearing up, I gave him a fierce and angry look. His face suddenly turned sour and started to cry! He knew he had made a mistake and that I was angry at him! He slowly came up to me, step by step, leaning against my knees, hoping that I would give him hug. But I did not budge (at the same time trying to hide my laughters). Only after he clung around me did I finally hug him.

Lastly, I showed him the place where the mess was created earlier, retold the story, and reminded him not to repeat the same mistake. His look was serious, no doubt! Being disciplined at 16mth old, hmmm, how much does he know about?!

Prisoner @ washing machine

This is when mummy is at her wit's end with Eugene's naughty acts...

note: Eugene's head was full of rashes at that time.

Whose birthday gift?

It's mummy's birthday, but who's got the gift?

CNY at the beach

Question: Who's the most willing to get dirty and dig into the sands?

Definitely not Charmaine and Ivan... Neither is Eugene...

Answer: It's daddy! Look at the products he dug from the sands.

We had a great feast of lala noodles...yummy!
