Greetings from Taiping

My weekends seem to be busy and exciting. After the Port Dickson trip, on the following Friday, 4 June, I received a visit from Mummy and Jason, my brother. They were here to visit a lot of people, my family, Theng and children, Yee Woon, granny, Aunty Ivy and family, Uncle Patrick and family, Uncle Tommy and wife. Hmm, seems the theme for the weekend is FAMILY. Soon as they reached, we went to Theng’s in-law house to pick her and children over to my house.
I made ‘loh mai kai’ for dinner, with Oreo cheese cake for dessert. Very very simple meal, glad that I received A- compliment from Jason. This is my second time of loh mai kai, this time it is not that salty as before, but then I would have added more soya sauce to it. Hmm, I made about 12 of them. Cheese cake, also my second time, this round not bad I would say. To my family, though they are not a fan of cheese, they commented that it is still acceptable. THANK GOD!
Saturday was the family day for us. We went to Aunty Ivy’s house. Husband and I stayed there with Theng, Jason and our babies. Meanwhile Mummy and Yee Woon went to visit granny in the nursing home. She grew old and losing her energy to walk day by day. The only good point about granny, her brain memory is still 101%.
After the visit, we had a stop at Midvalley. Mummy was excited to see all the shops there, it turned out pretty hard for a big family to shop around. At times, we had to split a while, and Yee Woon took Mummy around. We had dinner at Manhattan Fish Market together with Uncle Tommy and wife.
The next morning, we woke up, took bath and settle the babies. Just before they go back, I asked hubby to take photos of us, especially Mummy with her three granddaughters.

After the photo session, we had lunch at Desa Setapak. We shopped around in Jusco Alpha Angle before sending Mummy and Jason back to the highway. They left at about 3.30pm.
Though a short trip, still I appreciate the time we had. I do miss Taiping and hoping to make a trip back this coming August 2010. The plan is there, let’s hope it will be successful.

Serious Week!

My following week was crazy. I had to juggle time between work and my studies. My company is now in their quarter 2 2010 closing and my exam due on Monday, 14 June. Every day is crazy, with my first three day of the week, Mon-Wed, attending revision class after work, 6.30-9.30pm. My concern here was my Angel. I had discussed with hubby earlier and he assured me that he can babysit her while I went to attend my classes. Each night, after class, he would drive her to fetch me back. Perhaps he doesn’t know how to attend her, Angel cried along the way till I came into the car. The night is too dark for her I guess, and she must have been lonely and scared to sit by herself. That few days made her slightly coward than before. Poor thing Angel.

Angel's First Vacation

Friday was Wesak Day. It is also the day we as a family went on a vacation together. It is my company's department trip to Port Dickson Legend International Water Homes. Just a two days one night stay, but I can tell you, we are having great fun there. Angel, oh my she enjoyed her vacation to the fullest.
On Friday morning, we depart from KL at about 8.30am. Reached Seremban at around 10am. Angel slept the whole journey. We followed Ora, Li Yin & Melissa, Elaine & hubby, Jenny and Bee Hong for a makan makan in Seremban. We went to Pasar Besar Seremban for breakfast. Angel did not get to it, her mouth keep on moving....hahaha....after breakfast, we walked around market. And how nice of Li Yin to buy her a spaghetti strap blouse. Thank you Li Yin.
After that, we headed to Elaine's father-in-law house to pick her two prince. And off we went to Lukut, PD. Angel also slept the whole journey to PD. Ora brought us to Restaurant Soon Huat for a seafood lunch. Their attraction is the Sri Lanka crab. We had 3kgs of the crab plus other seafood including my favourite 'har ko'. The price is reasonable and good taste!
We checked into the hotel at about 2.30pm. Hmm, it is definately a sunny day. Me myself went over to the sandy area for our telematch. It was fun fun fun. It is like my olden days of Sports Day. Hubby took care of Angel while I enjoyed my time with my colleagues. After the telematch, we went to the swimming pool and Angel had her first time swimming in the pool. She enjoyed abit as she was very careful, scared that she will fall. Elaine lent me her float and Angel got to use it.
During dinner, right after her porridge meal, she slept. She is giving me time to eat and rest. Good girl. This is the Family Day I felt, we get to mingle with my colleagues' babies and kids. Everyone get to carry Angel and she loves it. Hahahahahahaha! After dinner, we went over to Ora's room. Jenny and Li Yin took turn to play with her, and I just rest aside.
I was glad she slept through the night till 6.30am. We went for breakfast till 10am. Then, swimming time again. We were there till 11am and spent another 10mins at our unit private pool. Checked out at about 12noon. Then we went for another round of seafood lunch in Restaurant Tien Tien, Chuah. This one is so so, the crab wasn't as tasty as yesterdays!
We reached KL at about 4.00pm. I am extremely tired and we had fruit for dinner only.
Overall, though the journey is short, I enjoyed my time with Angel and hubby. We should plan for the next trip in a few more months!!!!
Here are the snapshots of the trip:-

Angel starts to get wild!

A month has passed since my last update. Too much things to pen down, yet I do not know how to start. My home broadband is not up yet, TM gave the reason that the phone line in my unit is not installed yet. The engineers have to do some surveys and get back to us asap. Oh god! So pathetic! And here I am sitting in Mcd, trying to update info as fast possible.
Angel is steadily growing, naughtier each day, learning new tricks and now with two teeth at the bottom. The teeth are not fully up yet, but enough to be seen when she laughs out loud.
The babysitter cooks different kind of solids for her, and she commented that my girl loves all them and would eat alot everyday. Seriously, I think she takes care far better than me. I always get scolding if anything happens to her. Angel has become her precious now. Lucky me, she definately treats Angel like her own daughter and I can worry less.
Being mother my own, there's alot of things I need to brush up. I still have not learn how to prepare good food for her. Ha ha, blame it on the broadband, I am getting loss with the world. Things are different now and I need to know.....her sleeping habit, her meal intake and her crying patterns.

Our weekend!

On Sunday, we went to Homedec 2010 in Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. Everyone would wonder why we went there. Hubby wanted to get the discount vouchers for Nippon Paint. He is painting again, but this time at his parent's house in Teluk Intan.
We grabbed this opportunity to take more photos of Angel. We have been quiet lately, not much photos taken. It was quite fun to see how Angel poses for the camera. She is far different than previous days, growing up more and more beautiful.

Right after that, we had our early dinner in Fullhouse, Jalan Yap Kwan Seng. It is a lifestyle store and cafe. The building is a white bungalow and it attracted me ever since it started operating. First impression, very cosy. And surprisingly, the menu prices wasn't as expensive as we thought. Furthermore, they provide complementary jockey parking. Next, hubby started his photoshooting again.

Highlights of the night would be below shot. I don't know why, but Angel suck out her tongue the whole one hour in Fullhouse. Probably she is teething, her gums are itchy. Hubby was so furious that he kept asking Angel to stop doing that. To me, it was fun to see her like that. Nasty girl of mine, which is why I followed her to do it and here comes an award winning shot:-
