Suddenly found these 2 photos at my parent's house. (there is a mini storage level at my parents's house) I have many many things still storing in my parents's house.

Agnes is my best friend since college, we study, eat, drink, lepaking, shopping almost everyday. We can talk in the class for nobody business till our lecturer asked us to "shhhhh....." we also don't aware about it untill our classmate tell us "Eh, stop talking!!" And we can talk loudly while walking till people thought we are arguing. hahahaha... lots of good memories....

Until second year, our class suddenly appeared 2 chinese guys(they transffered from PJ to KL branch), which is Alvin and CK. (because our class most of them are indians) and We became best friends till today~~

Ashley's new toys (online game)

Ashley is growing up!!! Guess what, my daughter can plays online game recently. Now, she always request : "Mommy, once I finish lunch, homework, and snap, can you on online game for me?" She will just sit infront of the computer till dinner time without disturbing me or daddy. She is more stable now. See, she is using my company laptop, I told my husband I'm afraid my laptop will passed away in one day. So, my husband suggested to get Ashley a personal computer and a digital camera on her coming birthday. (very expensive birthday present!!!) ok ok, what's so interesting on online game for Ashley??? teng teng teng teng...... http://www.barney.com/

Dear friends, this website is good for kids, they can actually learn music, media, games, drawing and etc from there. The most important part is Ashley learned how to operate my laptop!!!

On the way back to Penang hometown @ R&R area

We were stopped at rest area as Daddy was driving for the whole journey, so I suggested to Daddy & Mommy in the car :" Daddy, you tired or not? you want to have a cup of Kopi? If you are tired, you better stop at rest area, so hor, i can go to playground and play, besides that hor, daddy you want to buy lollipop or not? because didi has no sweet to eat leh while i'm playing at playground, oh mommy, remember to take photo woh" (no photo attached at playground because ashley almost forgot about the "playground" while she was eating lollipop, haha)

Ian @ 22 months

see, while Ian sick, he still very active and his mouth non-stop (a big eater)

BIG eater, are you sure, how come still so skinny? Where the food has gone leh? I also dont know. (wasting mommy's money)

Mommy, I'm just too active & good exercise so the foods digest very fast. Next time, cook more porridge la, one bowl of porridge & a bottle of milk is not enough for me la !!!

Guess what, Ian still can't talk, and he is very slow! He can only understand what we talking about.He only knows how to say "Daddy, mama, jie jie, gong-gong, po-po, yi yi, kor-kor, ye-ye, ma-ma". other than that, he don't know how to pronounce. Ahh, the best part is, he knows how to scold people. When my FIL or MIL scold him, he will says :" ye-ye / ma-ma SAM PAT (3 8)"(and then he will use his eye to stared at them without smiling)

We taught, bitted, and scolded him many times, don't scold people that, and it is very no courtesy, people will think of Daddy & Mommy teach one!! I'm very embrassing while he scold the word!

Teach me, how to overcome this problem?

Our God-daddy & God-mommy

Our God-daddy & God-mommy (yi zheong & yi-yi)

Mommy, Ian & me

Daddy was away last week. 3 of us back to Gong-gong & Po-po's house for the whole weekend. Unfortunately, while Daddy was leaving to Redang Island, my little brother was fall into sick. (according to daddy, he said everytime when he wants to outstation sure one of us (mommy, brother & me) fall into sick. Ian was having high fever till 39.5 on last friday night till the next morning.

The next day morning, Mommy alone brought Ian & me to clinic. (I can see mommy very panic, so I tried to don't be naughty that time) Doctor was told that Ian got virus infection. When we were in the clinic, so happened Gong gong & Po Po came to our house and called where were we. So, Mommy told them that we are in clinic then only both of them very panic drove to clinic and meet us. Because Po-po knews that Mommy sure will panic and don't know how to handle 2 of us. (but, Mommy you are well done u know, you were so stable and steady) After came out from Clinic, Gong-gong straight away fetched us back to Titiwangsa's house. (my favourite)

The whole weekend, Po-po really take very good care of Ian boy. And now, Ian is almost recovered from his virus infection BUT now is my turn!! I'm having fever, sore throad today and Mommy also having sorethroad due to not enough of sleep for the whole weekend.

Althought we were busy with Ian, but we had a wonderful weekend with Gong-gong, Po-po, Yi-yi & Yi-zheong (yiyi husband) !! Ooooo, due to we alway sick average once a month, mommy & yi-yi decided Ian & me "shiong kai" to Yi-yi. They wished that Ian & me can reduce the sick.

Hopefully me and mommy can recover asap as we are going back to Penang (daddy's hometown) tomorrow!!

Duck Tongue

This is called "Duck Tongue" very famous in Taiwan. Mommy's friend can't find the original brand in Taiwan but managed to get it in HongKong airport. This brand is not bad, but not as good as the original one and this is much more expensive than the original one. This cost HKD1,200 per packet for 5kg.

This is the real duck tongue, feel geli to put into mouth right? But it's tasteful once put in into your mouth. After the first one, you will feel like want to have second one!! haha..

8th April is Gong gong's birthday ....

Gong Gong's birthday is coming. Mommy still don't know what to buy for Gong Gong. Thumbdrive? Perfume? G-Shock?For this year, Mommy & YiYi (mommy's sister) planned to have dinner at new bungalow. Both of them cook for Gong Gong. (depends on mommy & yiyi's mood one, both of them change their mind last minute everytime! Daddy also cannot tahan Mommy everytime! Mommy, you gotta change your attitude!)

Hmm...for Didi & Me, we also don't know what to buy for Gong Gong. Maybe a cake? Mickey Mouse cake, Ultraman cake, Barbie doll cake... (Hello Hello, it's Gong Gong birthday, is not YOURS birthday!! by mommy)

Our Super Hero Daddy is away .......

My hubby is away for diving these few days. He looks very worried that I can't handle our 2 kids while he is away. Especially after we moved to new house he don't allow me to drive or stay at home alone anymore, he said outside is not safe anymore. He rather fetch me to work everyday! (I feel the hapiness, hehehe) In order to let hubby not to worried us, I told him that my parents will come and bring us back to their house till he back to KL. (my parents also don't allow me to drive and stay at home alone with 2 kids)

Last night, fetch hubby to meet his divers gang at McDonalds. While waiting his gang, we were having a conversation below:- (see how mature is Ashley for her age of coming 5)

Daddy : Xin, while Daddy go diving you don't make Mommy angry ah. You be a good gal ok?

Ashley : Yea la, I know lah! Daddy, you promised me you will buy me a camera & PC for my
birthday present hor? the camera is a real one or fake one?

Daddy : (speechless for awhile).

Mommy : Of course real one lah! Daddy won't buy fake one.

Ashley : (smile from her heart)

Daddy : So, at school, you don't naughty again ok? If not, Principle will call Mommy again, then
I won't buy you camera.

Ashley : Daddy, I won't naughty again. (suddenly, she saw 2 kids running and screaming
loudly). Mommy, these 2 kids very noisy lah, I "beh tahan" them lah, SO
NAUGHTY!! Not like me, sitting here quietly. See, their Daddy & Mommy never look
after them one. Later ah, stranger come and catch them!!!

Mommy : Yea loh, you don't playful like them, if stranger catch you away, Mommy will cry till
die leh!

Daddy : mommy if you don't die, i will make you die if my daughter kena kidnap!! and you
don't have to come back!!

Ashley : Mommy, I think i will die also my hand will kena chop by stranger!! Those stranger
very "busuk" one!!!! mommy, you have to look after me u know!!!

Mommy : Don't worry, Mommy sure protect you one!!

Ashley : (smiling~~~~~)

From the above conversation, Ashley also know that outside is not safe. I know is not good to brain wash her by saying outside is not safe this and that. But, no choice, the fact is like that. We tell her the kidnapped news from newspaper, and show her the photos. Tell her not to accept people's compliments even they mentioned that they are daddy or mommy's friend. At least, she knows that stranger cannot be trusted. This is how I want her to protect herself.
