I am home!!!

again.. this time back home in KL.. 18 days of Penang, Langkawi and Perlis just zoomed past me so fastttt.... *sob*
anyway now that I am back, and 18 days would be quite a drag to tell it all ,I shall just list it down in point forms and a little elaboration.
This time round, I got to meet up with more friends and darn, that felt good!
People I met up with:-
Matthew
JitBeng
Jackson & wife & Frankie
LingLynn
ShuYin
Carolyn
SChee
One of the reason I went back to Penang was to attend my godbro's wedding and I was blown away with how the school hall was decorated for the event. It was classy, beautiful and romantic. With over 80 tables spread out, filled with family and friends, it was a lovely event! Food was great too.. well, at least I think so! =)

Then, I got to rest the weekend off with my family and we brought Jaden down to the Ferringhi beach. Its technically not his first time seeing a beach but I can claim that it is his first time playing at the beach and boy, he enjoyed it max! I brought one whole big bottle of water to wash the sand off him after we were done playing at the beach and a new change of clothes and diapers too.

On Monday, I took Jaden to make his first ever international passport and it had been quite a breeze at the Penang imigration office. All it took was just 2 hours to pick up the passport after just 10 minutes at the window taking his thumbprint and paying the RM150 for 5 years.

Langkawi was a rather spontaneous decision and it was a rather good decision I must say. It was meant to be a getaway with just my mom, my son and I and it just so happened that Jackson & family were there as well, so it made touring Langkawi quite fun! We stayed over at Awana Porto Malai while Jackson & his family stayed at Pantai Cenang. We went to the Oriental Village and Jaden had fun taking the cable cars up hill and enjoying the cool breeze. A nice change from the hot sun below.


Since I drove all the way to Perlis and parked my car at my aunt's, my dad picked us up when we took the ferry back from Langkawi and went over to my aunt's place for a while. Jaden got to meet his cousins and see some relatives whom he had never known he had. I have too many relatives scattered everywhere but CNY would be a good time to let him meet all of them because that will be when we all come together in Perlis.

I got to meet up with Lynn whom I have not seen since we both graduated from F5 and boy, she still looks the same but better! prettier! same goes to my two other ballet friends, ShuYin and Carolyn. Its a pity Nikki couldn't join us but well, we shared some laughter, gossips and life stories. I already missed them girls. I practically grew up together with them since I was 7 years old. Like what ShuYin said, that we three have one thing in common and that is that we cant do ballet no more. Speaking of ballet friends, I also met up with UNee before I went back to Penang and we sure did have a good time catching up on old times. I guess they could also be counted as my childhood friends since junior school, just that we came from different schools in Penang. Each of these girls grew up to be pretty women and even a super duper mummy, something which I am not. *gRin*



Jaden's kaima came over during the weekend and we went and eat and eat and eat and discovered that Jaden loved Hard Rock Hotel's water playground. SChee then tried to book three of us a room for the next weekend only to found out its all fully booked. In order to make her godson happy, she joined the membership and we got to go and play there for free anytime we want.

Jaden and I stayed over at SChee's the next Friday after dinner at Batu Kawan, another feast of seafood. YUM! and we all left for Hard Rock Hotel the next day to bring Jaden to play. He, the little one, of course enjoyed his time at Hard Rock very much. I was so scared that he might grow all so tan like me, that I slabbed on lots of sunblock lotion SPF50+ on him, twice in fact, in between his play. SChee companied him because my 'aunty' have to visit on that day. DAMNIT! but well, as long as the boy have fun, its all good!



On the last day before I have to head back to KL, I brought my parents out for a good feast again and spent the whole day just with them. It was quite sad that the 18 days vacation just passed me by in a blink of an eye. I thought 1 week wasn't enough the last time I went back so I opt for this 2 week break and now I still think it aint enough. Penang is such a relaxing place, maybe because I grew up there and familiarity comforts me. Hearing people actually speaking Hokkien can be comforting.


So here I am now, back home, thinking of my next trip back to Penang. I sure hope that this time round, I get to go back home during Chinese New Year because since I married, I have not been home for CNY.

My isle, my home
I havent been blogging much, have I?
Well, there was quite a few things on my mind and when I park my butt in front of the comp, my fingers and brains just refuses to cooperate.
Anyway, before I head back home to my beloved island for a two weeks break, let me leave something behind for you to read, especially you Ms.Ho.
Laundry done, at least the last two days. Yesterday and today have to be just sit in the laundry basket unless Hubby is diligent enough to do laundry or at least attempt to send to the laundry shop downstairs. Hopefully he will fold and keep my laundry at its respective suduts.
Floor, cabinets swept, cleaned, wiped and mopped.
Dishes done -cleaned. Drinking water cooked.
Hubby's work shirts ironed. Most of his socks and underwear is enough to last him till I come home. *I hope*
So whats left is just for me to enjoy my two weeks break back at home in Penang with Jaden, my parents and my friends. I have arranged some meet-ups with some friends of mine and I am looking forward to meeting these bunch of girls whom I have been dancing with since 6 years old. Then, of course there is the newborn child, my Singaporean doctor who is back in Penang till Sunday and my pow-cha tao SharonSer. Well, and of course one, never to be missed would be my SChee and Jeff (chi-muis) and Evon too.
There are lots I want to do when I am back in Penang but I doubt I will have the time to do it all because I know deep inside, all I want to do is just relax and spend time most with my parents. My mom has already prepared the potty to try to potty train my boy. *gRin* Let the elders teach us the right way! =)
I am rather nervous about my packing because I am not sure if I packed enough or remember to bring the right essentials home but well, guess I have to make do with what I packed.. I can't believe myself either but I am actually packing 3pairs of shoes home, wearing another pair. Crazy eh? I am a girl afterall. hehe
Guess I will also take the opportunity to go renew my passport and make Jaden his. Its easier for me to do it in Penang than here in KL and I really need to renew my passport since I know for sure I have to travel out of Malaysia come Jan. *gRin* Only for you, Gwen, only for you!
I know for a fact Hubby will have Jaden withdrawal syndrome and will be missing him badly. Really bad but too bad, its also a fact that I don't think he can handle Jaden by himself for more than two days one night so Jaden have to go wherever I go.
o.Oh speaking of Penang, my tummy is growling now thinking of all the food I am going to indulge myself in. My beef noodles from 600cc, asam laksa, char koay teow, curry mee, penang hokkien mee (prawn noodles in KL terminology) the seafood galore at bukit tambun, maybe a little of the Kangar northern laksa if possible. ooohhhh I just can't wait!
So yea, I just can't wait for my holiday with Jaden to start... and of course, one of the two main reasons I am going back to Penang is for Jackson and YuenWei's wedding. Gawd! I have known them for about 8 years... almost a decade now.. My one and only wedding invitation for this year till next, which I really am also looking forward to...
So till then, two weeks later I supposed... have a good two weeks peeps!

So not funny

My kitchen sink pipe burst out on me with water spewing out like volcano spewing out their ashes while I was singing and happily doing my dishes.

So not funny!
That really woke me up for good!
p/s: I can forsee myself getting an earful now for being the destroyer of stuff at home but but but really, I didn't even hit the pipe or touched it.. aaagghh FML!

Meaningful Sunday
My Sundays are often quite productive. It is because I have to wake up as early as 9am to get ready and then wake the Little Big Boss Man up, feed and bathe him and then swoop his ass off to school. I will always try to make it to school an hour early so I can either have breakfast, walk around or let him run loose at the play area before class. Usually, I only take about 15 minutes to finish my food and then for the next 40 mintues or so, he gets to play.
Today was no different.
After his class, I decided to get a few essentials. Ordered my contact lens, bought baby wipes, tried to find new slippers for Jaden but Jusco just didn't have any nice ones at the moment. There was one though but I am very sure he will outgrow that size in a month's time so no point buying. I was so tempted to spend and spend and spend because the word SALE was hung everywhere in the mall. Luckily, I didn't bring much out so got to spend within that budget.
Saw a few nice shirts for Jaden but since they were out of my budget at that time, I am planning to return there with my 'bank' so he can pay for it. Jaden needs more 'going-out' shirts. His father has been complaining that I dressed the son in sayur masin clothes. More reason for me to go shopping!!! I saw a pair of slip-on slippers but I am holding back from buying it. I am not sure if I really do need it but truth be told, one of my flats just got torn last week so I am still contemplating...
I am not sure if today is the 'Chang' Festival but I saw Hubby's favourite chang selling so I bought for him. Somehow I do think it is today, no? Anyway, next week will be Father's Day and I have just thought of one place to bring him go makan. =) See? I have plans!
I quickly put Jaden to nap after we got home, and then put the laundry to wash and hang (got nice hot sun) diced the garlic, slice the mushrooms, defrosted the bacon... and well, waiting for the Bald one to wake up and cook me my Spaghetti Carbonara! He is a better cook than me anytime, no doubt. Just a messy cook, thats all. I cringed at the very sight he holds a spatula cause I know I have to wipe north south east west once he is done at the stove but he does produce out good yummilicious food, so no complains there!
Hmm.. kinda hungry now. Shall go rummage through my kitchen to find something to stuff myself first. Tada! Have a great weekend peeps!

Incoherence


A few pictures of Jaden for those who have not seen him in a while. I have not been posting up much photos too but fret not, now that I have got the battery charged, I will be back!

This is the shoe that have caused me to hobble all over Beijing2004.

World Cup Fever is on! Jaden is very excited about each match and he will not allow me to change channels although I will do it when Hubby is not home viewing it! Sometimes 90210 can be a little more entertaining .. sometimes ok?
I was excited when South Korea played against Greece and YAY! HOORAY to the Asians! We showed them Asians can be real good too on the field when competing with the Europeans and Africans! I am so happy for South Korea when they won the match.. but somehow these bunch of Koreans ain't stylish like those we see on KBS World. *tee hee bimbo mode on**
o.Oh SS501 got new song from their Destination album. "Love ya! " Image semua all changed but I think I prefer their Love Like This image more. Hmm.. they have been on Music Bank together with Super Junior. Both me fan-crazy and it drives me nuts to see both my favourite group performing but this time round, I would have to say Bonomana win hands down if compared to Love Ya!
