2nd day at KK

We woke up early in the morning to prepare ourself while waiting for my auntie to send us to the temple. Before we went to the temple, we went to an open air market at "Litu" for fruits n flowers... we got dad's favorite drink "kopi kau"
Once we arrived there we saw 1 of my uncle n his wife about to leave the temple after paying respect to his mom. Before going to the other side of the temple where my dad's place is we got to pay respect to the god n goddess first...
Then we proceed ahead to the righ hand side of the temple... my grandparents, granduncle n grandaunt and even my great grandparents altars' are also place there. Before paying respect to my dad, we start with the ancestors first. Xuan was very anxious to go to her grandpa place... so hong brought her there... she still recognise where her grandpa is located n then she "sayang" his pic & even talk to him in which most of the sentences we dont understand... she makes me cry... then i took a wet tissue then xuan said she will do it... while she was cleaning it, a little boy next to us was paying respect to his dad asked the mom wat are we doing? the mom answered they r wiping the pic coz there is so many dust here... the next minute, i saw him wif a handkerchief n his mom holding a stool n he did the same thing to his dad's place... i can see wet eyes on his mom's eye...
we didnt stay there too long coz more n more ppl start to go there to pay their respect to their late family members... we then call my auntie to pick us up but she wasnt able to do immediately so she asked us to wait for her for about 1/2hr... we take the opportunity to take pic n there u r.... enjoy....

Then when my auntie came she brought us to another place for our breakfast where our grandaunt are already there waiting for us... After breakfast we went to buy some vegetarian item before heading to the airport... why so early? coz my flight is 130pm n tat time the clock already struck 11am... n further more we r already so tired coz the weather there is so hot makes u feel so tired... i rather go to the airport fully aircon n enjoy myself there... the airport is so busy, planes come n go frequently... even MAS airline is using this low cost terminal... xuan is enjoying herself there looking at the plane thru the big glass.... she keep on calling mommy n daddy whenever there is plane landing & taking off....
inside the departure hall there is only 1 duty free shop n 1 mini bar... we went in to the duty free shop hoping to get some item but then it' s so damn expensive i dont wanna get it... remember smarties chocolate it has winnie the pooh toy on it... so i look on it n guess how much is the rate? it's RM92.00 with 4 little toy on it... those u display inside ur display cabinet or those on the table... the size is like only 3-5inches tall... yeah it's expensive right n the chocolate is only smarties.... of coz m not gonna get it even though i luv the winnie the pooh so much... i told xuan tat i could not afford to get tat expensive item n she said ok n left the store... yeah we train her tat we dont always get watever items she request unless it's relevant (as in price n usage)

then we reached miri at around 230pm pick up by hong's frend n then when back to his hse... xuan slept in both during the flight n inside the car.... yeah she is so damn tired... then once we reached his frend's hse, xuan woke up so we went to the city to get some item before heading back to brunei... We start our journey from Miri to Brunei at 6pm n reached home at 830pm... same time settle ourself, clearing things n there goes my night time... the clock oledi struck 1030pm n so i go to bed n here i m in office now writing this post haha...

hope both of dis entries doesnt bored u guys....

sorry, for the dark pic... i told my husband tat it's time to get a better one.... my olympus camera is only 3.2megapixel n only 2.5x digital zoom... i had saw lots of nice model on shelf and at reasonable price too... maybe will get it soon when i got extra cash... so long frends....

My Trip to KK

We left to KK on wednesday for our paying of respect to my dad in conjunction with Tomb's Sweeping Day that falls on Apr 5th. The night before our departure my little gal, Jia2 had slight fever again. I was terrific as i was alone at home as mom when for her bi-weekly class at fo tang while hong is not back from work yet n my elder princess is playing tantrum there as she wasnt able to follow grandma.... i was left alone wif 2 gals crying here n there... one cried followed by another... i took a deep breath n put my priority on my little one since she's not feeling well... she doesnt wanna take her milk she just suck a little bit then i gave her medicine... panadol... i was surprise why is she having fever again so i put my finger inside her mouth to check then i felt her little 2 teeth... she 2 little teeth explode out already so i'm a bit relief as i know the reason why she got her fever again coz it's teething time... after settle down d little one i went to the elder one... i explained to her why i put more attention to her sister n then pampered her like i used to... i feed her, clean n changed her preparing her to go to sleep... she dint sleep till her daddy comes back from work that is around 830pm... she had her little time with her daddy before going to sleep... we told her tat we gonna go sit on aeroplane to kk to pay respect to grandpa... you can see her anxious face... yeah she is really cute... she obediently went to bed why i settle down too... early in the morning at around 3am jia2 still got slight fever so i gave her medicine again n then feed her milk since she doesnt wanna suck... after settle down her my elder gal wakes up to pee... yeah my elder daughter is not on pampers liaw but we still put reusable napkin on so just incase she will pee while sleeping... but she dont wet it unless "accidentally" :) after settle her back to sleep i pump out my milk before heading back to sleep... by tat time d clock oledi struck 430am

i then prepared my kids before we left for miri... why miri coz i got the free ticket to kk from airasia so our flight is from miri to kk... we departed home at around 9am then went for breakfast before heading down to miri.... we reached miri at around 1130am went to changed the money n then headed to 2020 for our lunch before going to the airport... i went to vision pharmacy to get digital thermometer the same style as those doctor using at RM160 n a winnie the pooh toothbrush by Oral B stage 2 for Xuan... she is so happy when she got it... yeah coz she is also the fans of winnie the pooh like mommy... haha after lunch we headed to airport n tat time d clock oledi struck 1230pm... our flight to kk will depart at 240 so we waiting in the departure hall relaxing...

Here's some of the pic tat we had taken inside our plane













1st Pic: Xuan & Daddy
2nd Pic: Xuan & Me Pic taken inside the plane, we sitted at the 2nd end row of the plane... why so far? coz it's near to the 2nd plane door so when we arrived at the airport we can get down from the plane immediately haha...

We arrived at the low cost terminal of KK (Terminal 2) it was the new one tat is just done few months ago... it's not a very big one but it's nice fully air con... u dont hv to walk very long distance; as most airasia frequent flyer knows how tiring n far it is for u to reached the arrival hall...u got to get down from the plane by the stairs then walk a distance to the airport terminal building then walked a long distance before reaching the arrival hall

Once we r out we still hv not see our transport so we call up our grandaunt since they said earlier tat they r picking us up we wanna tell them no need lah we can just take taxi n headed down town so we can do shopping but they still insisted tat they will pick us up so we just got to wait for them to come... hong n Xuan went around the new airport while i waited outside so i will not miss them if they arrived... i dont like ppl waiting for me i rather wait for them especially if they offer u a ride... tat's my attitude... we waited for ard 10mins n
there comes my 2 grandaunt... they brought us to a kopitam for tea we had cha sui pow each me n hong while xuan take her share from me... tat kopitam is special coz they had this "sweetening soup" we chinese call it 'tong sui' made from water chestnut, sago n then egg... d first taste it's weird, why? coz it has d smell of the egg on it...

then we headed back home to relax n wait for my other grandaunt to return from kudat... they went there a day trip to do something... so we all had our shower first before they reached home n bring us out for dinner... i expressed my milk for xuan to drink before she takes her shower... weather in KK is damn hot... u said Brunei is hot there is more hotter... as per my grandaunt she said even KL is not tat hot... she was there for 10days n there isnt a drop of rain... she said its like in an oven haha.... dis grandaunt of mine came from KL for this tomb sweeping too, she came to pay respect to her husband... she is leaving on the same day night time to KL with her daughter whom is staying in KK as her husband had business there in KK (her husband is a pharmacist)

there comes night time, we had dinner at Ang's Hotel in KK... (Ang's Hotel sounds familiar right... it's d old name for Terrace Hotel in Brunei n yeah they r of the same boss) After dinner i wanna go shopping in Wisma Merdeka but my auntie told me it's closed oledi only CentrePoint is open... i said it's only 830pm boh she said only Centrepoint is open till 10pm but i dont like Centrepoint coz the item there is expensive so my grandaunt said she will bring us to Servay Hypermart... we then went there for shopping nothing much too barang oso expensive dint get myself anything n then we headed back home... reached home at around 1030am settle down everything then go to sleep..... There goes my 1st day in KK
