January Happenings

Jaden started his first day of school in a kindergarten. 

Finally, the day that I have waited for so long for Jaden has come true.

He is attending a neurotypical children's kindergarten but when it comes to academic learning, he gets a special 1-to-1 attention with another special needs child in a separate classroom.

The time that he gets to spend with other children are during playtime, music, arts and living skills learning time.

So far, he seems ok, adapting well to the new schedule although the first day of school had been super rough and heartbreaking.

After his first day of school and the endless crying, biting the teacher and just refusing to comply, I send in one of his ABA therapist to shadow him for the next two days and also to help the teacher in understanding Jaden.

All those went really well and now, the teachers have come to a mutual understanding with Jaden, although he would still want to test them from time to time but, since they have experience dealing with children like Jaden, it was quite an easy transition.

In fact, Jaden has learned quite a bit from school. He has learned how to clean up his own mess, say thank you (but at the moment, only when you ask him to say it) and he made some beautiful art pieces (only beautiful to the parents' eyes, of course!) and baked some cookies from school.

Other than Jaden attending school, the SimonYap clan also welcome a new 'family member'. Little Monster has a new friend now, which I nicknamed 'Fatty'. 

Fatty comes in a shape of a hatchback kinda, sparkling bronze with havaina leather and everything auto. 

Yes, Fatty is our new car, supposedly a birthday present for me from Hubby but I see it as his very own birthday present, his very first car. 

Fatty is a biiiiig contrast compared to my Little Monster. Little Monster is everything manual and tiny while Fatty is the complete opposite and its took me quite a while to handle Fatty.

I am still not used to Fatty yet, especially when it comes to parking. Me and my pride in being able to park perfectly with Little Monster, now, I turned dumb when it comes to parking with Fatty. *sigh*

BUT I am sure, practice makes perfect and one day, I shall have that parking perfect pride back. :p

Good hols gone bad

I took the opportunity, before Jaden starts school in January and went back to Penang for about two weeks.

I purposely chose 20th Dec to go back to at least celebrate my birthday with my parents. 

It was a really relaxing 2 weeks holiday for me as I need not do much other than plan where to take Jaden out to walk around, what his meals are (while my mother does the cooking) and meet up with a few Inaians.

During my 2 weeks in Penang, I got to take my mother for a new hair makeover, to get her ready in time for Chinese New Year so at least a hair shape has taken place and all she has to do is to maintain that cut and need not spend exhorbitantly by her own when she does it.

I enjoyed myself tremendously back home as both Jaden and I were pampered bad by my parents. Everything was done and prepared for us. My mother was just so hands on being a grandmother, that she willingly wants to bathe Jaden, clean up after him, have fruits ready for him after each meal time, feed him and wash his laundry daily. Both Jaden and I were just chilling. :p

How I have missed home-cooked food, my mother cooking at least one of my favourite food everyday.

I even found some time out to go out and do some personal grooming (mani/pedi/hairwash and etc.)

It was indeed a holiday for both Jaden and I and would have been PERFECTLY PERFECT if not for ...

an idiot of a family had to screw it up for me in the end, that a police report was made and thankfully for Hubby, stood up for me as soon as we touchdown at the airport, giving the family member a piece of his mind. 

I bet that person was shit scared first by Hubby giving a piece of his mind, getting the police involved and everybody else at the airport was looking.

Now, that will teach you how to screw with us, you stupid maggot of a brain, for trying to threaten Jaden and I. 

So whats the story?

Well, as we all know, Air Asia does tend to be faulty with their check-in counter staff all the time,  and there I was lining up at the counter that displayed KL Check-in while that idiot of a woman was lining up at the Dao Nang check-in counter.

The line took almost forever for my turn, and just as I was just a person away, the AirAsia staff stood up and shouted KL ONLY. 

Without thinking, that idiot decided to just shove her entire trolley of luggages into my line, without considering the people in my line. 

Of course, after me, having to line up for almost 1/2 hour, I was so frustrated so I just voiced out, asking her to please queue up as there is a queue going on, and I am also heading to KL. 

In my mind, I was thinking, why would you want to line up at a vietnam checking in counter when there are several other counters that put up KL sign and now, just because of the incompetent staff, you too, have turned brainless... oh wait, you are already brainless.

That idiot then have the tendency to say, but the staff say KL here.. I KNOW YOU STUPID MAGGOT. THAT IS WHY I M ALSO LINING UP AT THE KL LINE FOR MY KL FLIGHT. MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME INSTEAD OF GOING TO A SHORTER LINE THAT STATES SOME OTHER LOCATION.

That AirAsia staff too, did not bother to ask her to go queue up or ask MY LINE of people that its for KL only, and those that wants to check into other places, to go queue up elsewhere... INCOMPETENT ASS !

So the idiot not only did not bother to apologize, which she manage to check in through the vietnam check in counter, but allowing her I M SO GANGSTER cinapek brother to come and woo, show his manly hood by cursing vulgarities at me while we were checking in, and best.. when I was about to head to the domestic departure gate, he pushed me to the side and threatened me that here is Malaysia and that he will make me miss my flight if he wants to and that he is not scared if I go and report to the police. All these happened while I was holding on to Jaden. Wrong move CinaBeng!

I walked calmly up to the domestic departure gate, let the police check my ticket and turned around at him and asked him to go ahead. Chickenshit was just giving empty threats.

Hubby was already waiting for us to arrive at the airport, and boy, by the time that idiot pushed her trolley out, he started lashing out at her, professionally of course, unlike her CinaBeng brother and oh, only then she wants to apologize but FUCK YOU, its too late. We made such a commotion that everybody was looking into our direction and I bet she was fucking embarassed. Police were then involved and that her IC was asked for, and I filed a police report against her (for being the responsible one) for her maggot of a brain brother for threatening me and Jaden. 

So yea, that was how my 2013 began.. encounter with a few idiots in a place.
