Just like every year we went back to Sibu for CNY.... Since we have a 4-wheel car now we drove back instead of going back by plane so when i'm in Sibu i can go out by myself together with the kids when Hong is busy wif his "studies" haha...

This year we went to the temple on the 1st day of CNY morning instead of midnight.... We are lucky when we were there the lion dance troupe just started the show n then this God of Fortune is there to take pic with ppl... Above pic you saw Jia next to her daddy holding so tightly coz she is afraid haha... The God of Fortune is very tan haha... Where's Xuan? She is also holding tightly to me while i took pic of d them...

After praying at the temple, we went straight back home to wait for the lion dance troupe to visit our house... While waiting we took pic... D gals were so impatient as they keep on asking me when the lion dance troupe would be there... To our disappointment they dint come on the 1st day as due to flooding at several areas in Sibu so the whole troupe wouldnt able to go from house to house... So daddy goes for his "studies" with his best buddies while us go house visiting together with my parent in law....

Finally the lion dance troupe came on the 2nd day of CNY... c the gals are so impatient that they just stay in the main door the whole morning waiting for their arrivals... but once they are there with their gongs c jia put both her hands to her ears... she told us that they are so noisy hahaha.... Xuan is no where to be found as she just follows whereever the lion goes, she just like it so much...

I dont think this replicate lion it should be dog hahaha... The show was longer compare to last yr as i get daddy to put more kams' there so the lion can peel them off slowly so lengthen the show loh hahaha.... Jia told me the lion is bitting daddy's car haha...

After the show, Jia roams around the hse shouted tak tong chian n then jump, shake her head n bum as she said it's wat the did.... hahaha cute Jia right?

After the show we went to house visting... the usual buddies of daddy.... tat's the only few houses that daddy will go house visting... after that they will all meet at home for their studies.. they so hard working yeah.... so m i... i go out wif my in laws after the gals wake up from their afternoon nap... after jln half way we got to turn back home as the roads start to flood... we can still continue with the house visiting but then later we cant go back home so we ended dint go even to any of the relatives house... hahaha.... Even our own house dis yr not many visitors it's all due to the flood everyone just stay at home... hahaha

My gals.... they are so big liaw... hahaha

D gals with their "ku-ku"....

They both so close to them that they mandi, eat n sleep oso wanna b with them.... They so manja leh.... They even each choose their own favorite 'ku-ku" u can see from the pic who chooses who... hahaha

Just wat both me n hong can just go out without the 2 following us as they prefer to stay at home with their ku-ku n guess wat they finished all the snacks tat we hv at home when i'm not around... jadi princess liaw ya wat they want they can hv it... kids nowadays.... mommy n daddy dont give they still got ku-ku n grandparents...

As per my previous post i mention that i dont hv any internet connection tat's why my post is the same for few months... now that i hv internet connection i take this opportunity to write something n guess where m i writing this... I'm in Sibu haha for my CNY celebration with my own family & in-laws.... As usual mom prefer to stay back in Brunei herself & celebrate it together wif my aunts & uncles...

38days of 2008 have past & there is lots of things have been happening around me...

1) Jan 2 - Xuan starts schooling @ PDS in Nursery 2...
It's really a very tideous & fruitful experience for me... Xuan was crying for the 1st week of school & thankfully the teachers' was very good... they are good in calming kids & it's makes me relax & leave her at the school... understandable leh coz she is my 1st kid in schooling... u can see that some parents even left their maid there in the school to standby for their kids (seriously no kidding here)... Even school has already started for a month i still see maids sitting down at the main corridor of the school.... kids studying inside the classroom, maids studying too at the corridor... haha...

2) Jan 27 - New Year Hair-do & Picture taking at NBT
The entire family member had our new hairdo on this date... as usual we went to our usual salon for the hairdo... I took the most time for it... almost 5hrs haha...

Daddy brought us for picture taking at the most marvellous CNY deco at Gadong, NBT... There is lots of ppl there as it's Sunday... After picture taking we went for shopping...

3) Jan 31 - Xuan celebrate her 3rd B'day at school
My sister in law bake Xuan's B'day cake in which everyone in the class luvs it even the teacher... Yeah Xuan got lots of present... her class size is 24paxs so you can figure out how many presents she received on that day... Daddy came to school too to assist in picture taking haha camera-man cum labourer(carrying things mah) haha

4) Feb 1 till now - In Sibu celebrating CNY
We travel back to Sibu by land... this time hubby is driving back together wif my sister in law (hubby's younger sister) so someone is there to assist me wif our 2 princess... the journey back took us about 5hrs from Miri (departed miri at around 150pm arrived sibu at about 630pm)

Sorrryyyy frend... i was supposed to put in some pics here but the USB cable for this computer is not functioning well tat's why... i'll post it in soon ya...

No pics this post... coz i lupa bawa my camera lol.... hope it doesnt bored u guys....

Went back to Sibu on Oct 16 returning on Oct 20 - it's a very short trip back home... our main purpose is to bring the 2 princess to see their grandparents... it's been 10mths tat the folks have not seen them... so u know lah how missing they are to their grandchild... Daytime is shopping time for us while night time is my husband's gathering time wif his buddy...
Our trip back there is using bus so it's a very long journey... 7hrs from Miri reaching there... good thing my kids have no complaint... they sleep in the bus most of the journey... we bought each of them a seat so they can be comfortable & it would be less tiring for both me n my husband...
You must be thinking so long journey why not use plane... it's extremely expensive... for 2adults, 1 child & 1 infant it would cost us for around RM900... if by bus it's only RM200... so u know why i choose by land.... tat's a lot of difference....
Now we are making plans for our CNY... Hubby said we will be driving back ourself so the journey may cut down to about 4hrs on moderate speed without stopping... We plan to go back on Feb 1st so Xuan can celebrate her bday back there....

Xuan will be going to school next year at PDS under Nursery Class.... I have already start shopping to get her stationaries... Wed & Thu will be her uniform, exercise book & text book purchasing day... she will be going wif me & i can see that she is already anxious to go to school to meet up with new frends.... i sincerely hope that she can cope with it....

Yesterday, sunday i brought her to swimming together with my frend's kids... there are all in all 5kids... they enjoy themselves alot until they doesnt wanna go back home... we planned to bring them every weekend to the pool but of coz depending on our monthly "visitor" haha....

till here.... so long frends...

Part 3 - Family Trip

2007-11-01T12:57:00.001+08:00

Oct 25 - Today is our last day in KL, the same routine as the previous few days, after breakfast at the hotel coffeehouse we walk down to Low Yat Plaza to get my laptop. While we were on our way to the plaza, we stop by at a shop that sells all kinds of luggage bag where we bought one that has a roller and it looks like those grocery shopping trolley. It has a little chair on it so whenever Hong is tired shopping around with us he can open up the chair to sit down. Good Idea right haha....

We see see look look at all the shops comparing the pricing and finally i got my laptop, Acer Aspire 4710Z at the cost of RM2000 comes with 1GB RAM, a mouse and an additional fan for the laptop

After purchase, we went down to the food court for our lunch before heading back to the hotel for our taxi driver to send us to the airport. This time we dint used the Skybus as the taxi driver charged us RM65 for the trip which is just RM15 more in difference and it's more convenient for us to use taxi since our luggage bag has now increased to 3nos and so is the weight haha...

Landscaping of Sepang F1 Circuit on our way to KL-LCCT

Since it's still early after our check-in, we went to Mc Donald for some snacks before boarding. It's pack with ppl... it's full... while waiting for ppl to leave, we took same pic of our princess with the Old Mc Donald statue...

Outside of Mc Donald in KL-LCCT

Then we proceed in to the departure hall and the clocks reads 4pm... While waiting we took picture and browse around the duty free shop.

Waiting for our plane in KL-LCCT

Inside our plane

Landed at Brunei International Airport at around 815pm, called up our Auntie to pick us up... Reached home about 1030pm... Settle the kids and then ends my holiday wif my family....

It's an enjoyable one and i am hoping to arrange for another one... Bangkok will be our next destination....

Part 2 - Family Trip

2007-11-01T10:58:00.000+08:00

Our place to explore today is Genting Highland. After our breakfast we go to the taxi stand in front of our hotel to check on the fares to go to Genting. We were quoted RM80 which is RM10 cheaper than another taxi driver who offer us last night when he sent us to PetalinTg Street. He also offer us that he will drop us down in Mid-Hill of Genting where there is one temple for us to "see see look look". The agreed with his offer and hop on to his car. The estimate time from our hotel to Genting takes approximately 1.5hrs depending on the traffic.

At around 11am we reached the temple, it was so cold that when we talk there is like smoke comes out from our mouth.

Since its too cold we dint explore further we just took random pic and left the place... About 20mins later we arrived at First World Hotel. The taxi driver offer us again that he will wait for us to send us back so asked if 3hrs is sufficient for us since we cant go for the outdoor games too. We agreed and then exchanged telephone number so once we done we will give him a call.

The whole structure of Genting Highland that was on display at the main entrance of 1st World Hotel

We then start to explore the Indoor games that is at First World Hotel. There is shopping arcade so we did window shopping too... But this time, we got something... We got a jacket for Xuan and also for 1 for both me and mom (sharing), handbag (a little and cute one), ca yet tan for Xuan to eat just in case she is hungry...

Xuan wondering around outside Snow World. We wanted to go in but then we ended not dint coz they said no camera inside. Wat's the point if cant take pic?

Xuan was afraid to go on to the rides that is inside the indoor playground, so we ended up taking picture instead. We will come again to let Xuan play together with Jia

1230 - We separate ways with Hong since he wanna have a look at the Casino... He walk by himself while us went to KFC to have our lunch... After a while he came back, he told us that the guard dint allowed him to go in as he is not wearing shoes... haha... so till next time then... he said he managed to take a look when the door open... he told me next time we comes straight to Genting so he can have few days to be in the Casino haha... After eating we continue our Genting exploring.... and when we look at the clock it's almost 3hrs inside as per our agreement with the taxi driver... so we find our way out and while walking we took some pics again

Outside First World Hotel waiting for our taxi.

While waiting for the taxi driver to pick up we took some pics again.... The main entrance of First World Hotel, there is lots of travelling bus coming in bringing Taiwan tourist.

Our taxi driver drop us at Genting Hotel since the cable car station is there so we could get our ride down Genting using cable car. He will be waiting for us down hill.

Genting Hotel Lobby - heading to Cable Car Station

In Queue for going in the cable car... There is lots of ppl waiting for their turn

Inside the cable car

As we pass through certain stages there is landscaping for the hill, there is tiger, elephant, buddha statues and we just managed to get this, the Rafflesia

The cable car journey ends in this plaza, dont know the name, as we get down the escalator, there is this shop that sellings dried food can see that, hill of "sotong". Here we bought few things for our relative as buah tangan.

This ends our exploring of Genting Highland.... We headed back to our hotel for mom and the princess to rest... When we reached the hotel both of them are so hyper so instead of wasting time we decided to go to Sungai Wang again for dinner and to shop at Bukit Bintang Plaza. We then continue to shop for the things that we saw on our first day as we dint buy immediately when we saw it as we afraid tat we might see something nicer and cheaper... Since tat place offer the nicer and cheap one we went there to purchase, 2 bags and few souvenir t-shirt... We ended our night at about 11pm.. went back to hotel to settle down the princess and start to pack since we will be leaving tomorrow evening time.

1130pm - Our princess had fallen asleep so both me and Hong went down again to have our full body massage.... while massaging Hong's frend call him to go lim teh... after about 1.5hrs we are done and Hong called his frend... We went to a place that is famous for it's 'Ba Kut Teh'... We eat, chat for quiet sometime if not mistaken when we see the time is about 2am... Instead of driving us back to the hotel, he said we are still young should see the night life of KL... He bring us to the place where there is lots of "bakla" and "pros" hahaha.... then he brought us to the hilltop to see the night view of KL too bad tat time KL Tower and Petronas Tower light are off... Of coz lah it's 3am in the morning lah....

When we reached the hotel it's already 345m.... We just lay down our bed and fall asleep almost immediately haha.... That's the first time after married i slept so late... My kiasu frend will know wat time i normally sleep before i start dating with Hong haha... Those were the days

Oct 22 - 715pm -> Since Aunt last min cancel her trip with us she sent us to the Airport. Once we reached there we headed to the check-in counter & was inform to board immediately as the flight from KL has arrived. Once we went in to our designated gate, we dont see our plane yet... After waiting for about 15-20mins, the plane arrived, passenger from KL left the plane while passenger gonna depart from Brunei all stand up waiting to enter the plane. The staff called out those have Xpress Boarding to be in the front line.

830pm - Our plane depart from Brunei International Airport, we make Jia to sleep while Xuan was too hyper that she doesnt wanna sleep and start to walk around from my seat to her daddy seat. Purchase our SkyBus ticket from the air stewardess that cost me RM36 ($9/head)

11pm - Reached KL-LCCT (Low Cost Carrier Terminal), did our immigration checking & wait for our luggage. Left LCCT & headed to where our Bus is, good thing there is still left with 5 more seats before the bus starts it journey. If we dint managed to get this bus i dont know for how long we gonna wait for the next bus to starts (they will only start the journey when it's packed with passenger). During the trip Xuan was too tired she slept while Jia is awake coz she is hungry. Reached KL-Sentral about 12am & purchase our taxi coupon from the taxi counter.

1230am - Reached our hotel, Bintang Warisan at Bukit Bintang. Changed to kids to their sleeping attire & cradle them to sleep. Jia slept immediately she done with her milk while Xuan keeps on telling us that she wants supper. So both me and Hong brought her down for supper while Mom and Jia stay behind to sleep. So we walk down our hotel

Night time - Right and Left View from our Hotel

Saw the lively surrounding of Bukit Bintang even at this wee hour.... While walking down the street we saw 24hrs Mc Donald's, KFC & some sundries shop and even restaurant. Since it's late we hesitate to walk further down we just choose the 24hrs restaurant & it seems so like Hong Kong Style. We sat down & there comes the waitress with the menu. Hong look into the menu & talk to me softly, "Lao Po, a plate of fried noodles cost RM15, they trying to rob us kah?" Haha... i answered him back you liar coz i still hv not see the menu... I took the menu from him and yes the cheapest food i can find is RM12 and tat's chicken porridge... Since we already sat down we just continue with ordering... Then comes the bill, a supper that cost tat cost us almost RM50 haha... Then we go back to hotel after a short walk at those convenient shop opposite to our hotel... As soon as we reached our room after laying down for less than 5mins i believe we 3 already start snoring haha....

Oct 23 - Woke up at 7am, clean myself & went to the window to get some shots...

The view from our room at 6th Floor from left, right then bottom haha

930am - Went down to our hotel coffeehouse for breakfast. Our room comes with 3 free breakfast coupon so it's just enuf for the 3 of us. After breakfast we left the hotel for our start of shopping. Since the clock reads 10am we start to work down the street of our hotel to Lot 10 & Sungai Wang Plaza. Once we reached there to our surprise all the shops are not open yet so we left the plaza without wasting our time to our next location. There i saw the tourist information counter & went there to get the map of KL. Hong saw the big road sign that Petronas Tower & KL Tower is just 1km away so we agreed to walk there. We saw lots of nice building & saw a little area where they have the 4 face buddha... We pay respect and then took some picture before continuing our journey haha

After paying respect to took some pic for rememberance. You dont see Jia coz she is sleeping on my chest carrying her using the carrying bag.

After that we continue to walk & we saw a monk, he approaches us for donation for temple building & expenses. After writing down our names and the amount we donated, he presented us bracelets and a card. As we continue to walk we took some pic

Above pic taken from about another 5mins away from the building....

We reached our destination, this is the little walkway from the tower, can you see the underground behind us, it's to the LRT

The ceiling of the mall of petronas (forgotten the name of the mall)

As the items sold in the mall are all branded we just window shopping for a while then headed back to Bukit Bintang. This time we dont walk back we used LRT & Monorail that reached till Sungai Wang Plaza.

1230pm - Had our lunch at Sungai Wang Plaza... Forgotten to take picture of the food court... All their economy set meal is like buffet style and there is about 30 different dishes for you to choose from. After lunch we continue to shop, we did more window shopping then actually buying haha coz there is nothing that fit us except for shoes.... The shoes there are so nice and the price is reasonable too... Mom bought herself 2pairs while myself 1pair.

430pm - Headed back to hotel for a little rest for the kids and my mom. My feet is hurting due to my sandal. Settle down the kids and let them hv their nap both me and hong went down to the massage center for foot reflexology. There is about 10 of those massage center at our hotel area. After an hr we done wif our massage, we continue to shop around the shop there, the pharmacy, the 24hr convenient shop before heading back to the hotel.

630pm - Wake up the princess to continue our shopping spree.... This time we go to Petailing Street. The night market there is completely the same as that of Bangkok. Mom said better we shop in Bangkok. So now you can guess where will be our next family trip haha. We stay at that area till about 1030pm before heading back to the hotel again.

This time the same as last night, Xuan doesnt wanna sleep and requested us to bring her down for supper again. This time since it's early we walk further down the street for our supper.... We end our night at about 1230am....

Yesterday i had a nice weekend spending with Xuan.... How come no Jia? she is still small cant bring her yet in another few more months once she knows how to walk she will be wif us all the time... Morning time i drove mom to Tamu to buy fresh veggie then we went home... my planning was to go out all of us shopping & then eat out but mom said tiring as she said got to carry one (tat is jia) and then hold on (tat is xuan) she said she prefer to stay at home to do the cooking n relax instead... So jia stayed at home wif mom too... after settling down jia for her morning nap we went out... we went to the gadong food-court, d building which is used to be justoy... we had 5 portion of dim sum, a plate of chicken rice and a xl size of milo for 3 of us (xuan, pei n me)... after our breakfast we went to Jaya to get grocery... we went up to 1st floor to get xuan her swimming suit... once she saw the mickey mouse swimming suit she shouted there mommy i want tat mickey mouse nothing else she wants... so i got her tat....
then we went down to get grocery n we reached home at abt 1pm... feed her porridge; her lunch & then asked her to sleep but she doesnt want.... so i start to pack for xuan, pei n myself... get her float, get beverage so we dont hv to buy there... at 3pm we departed home to the swimming pool at anggerek... why anggerek & not the stadium one... coz tat's d only one that got kids pool....
xuan was enjoying herself there by going round the pool together wif her float... then she told me she doesnt wanna use the float wanna walk... she walk so fast tat she fall into the water... of coz she drank water n then cough cough there... it's ok coz me too not onli drink the swimming pool water but also beaches water... i dont hv anyone to teach me swimming but instead i got to learn by myself by gotten thrown into the pool or the beaches... me n my 2 cousin learn how to swim in tat way by ourself... our uncle throw us into the pool while my dad is the one who throw us into the beaches... those were the days.... so sweet memories... i wanna do tat to xuan but i dare not coz i dont wanna her be afraid of water first... she is still too young n still afraid when i wanna teach her to float by carrying her... she holds on to me so tightly... it takes time as xuan charateristic is more gentle n feminine.... hahaha..... it started to drizzle when i told them to get out from the pool for bit of snacks... i dont allowed them to go back to the pool eventhough i know tat they r so wanting to since there is still kids there... i dont want xuan n pei to catch a cold so telling her tat i will still bring her again next week... without hesitation, xuan agreed n so we went to take shower... as we done wif shower it rains like cats n dogs... good thing i got umbrella in the car....
when her dad came back to work she tells him wat she did in the pool... i force her to sleep early at ard 830pm coz she dint take her afternoon nap.... so till next week....

Xuan 1st Class

2007-08-20T09:40:00.000+08:00

Coloring Time

Xuan yesterday went to little angel class... Wat's little angel class? you may be wondering!!! For Christianity it's known as "Sunday Class" so our religion it's known as little angel class... why they call it little angel class? coz they said kids mind are not been polluted wif the outside world just like us as we goes older... kids tends not to hv any obstacles wif them... they accept wat is been teach by us adult n follow accordingly so it's d best time to teach them the moral of life & discipline at a very young age... Dis little angel class has actually started early of this year but i hv not bring Xuan coz i was busy wif Jia & also i find her too small as u know kids like her age will not be sitting at a place for long... so i have been postponing the time a week after a week till yesterday... yeah wat a bad mommy i'm.... i know i know hahaha... Class starts at abt 2pm till 430pm... they sing, dance, read sutra, play games, listening to stories, etc... those activites Xuan couldnt join in coz it's her 1st day plus she is too little to read & participate... but she looks at those elder sister n brother play, sing n read... i know as times goes she will be there participating... the most important motto of me bringing her there is to let her socialize wif other kids not just in her own world... she dont talk wif others... she will be just quietly looking at others when they talks to her... even our own relatives not to mention strangers...

Above - Class Time
Below - Break Time

We left at class at around 5ish then went home for shower before going out again to auntie's hse... We had dinner there inconjunction wif Zachary's 12th b'day (my nephew)...

Xuan had a nice weekend yesterday... when she reached home after changing to pyjamas she headed to bed as she was very tired coz no nap in the afternoon haha...

Family Day

2007-07-03T11:37:00.000+08:00

From my previous entry i mention tat i will bring my princess to picnic on Sunday, 1st July at Muara Beach... yeah i did brought them there n we reached there at around noon time... we actually left home early at ard 10am after we eat, bathe & packing.... why so late we reached there? coz i went to get something which i managed to get it after going to 3different places... then headed to my auntie's place before to the beach...

Once we reached there everyone is asking us to eat so i told Xuan tat once she done eating i will bring her go to the beaches to play wif water & let her play wif sand... she listen...

Xuan eating will Jia looking at her. Jia is on grandma's lap while grandma chatting wif others

Jia with GrandMa!!!

Xuan & Jia with GrandMa!!!

After taking the above pic & done with their lunch, i told Xuan to join with the rest of the kids to play but she rejected... Yeah she is a shy gal tat's why i will be bringing her to attend some kids classes that is held biweekly on every sunday afternoon. So her first class will b on this coming Sun, 8th in the afternoon... Instead of playing with the rest of the kids she prefer to play either alone or just with Pei Yi (d little gal tat my mom babysit)... They play with sands that is just next to our hut...

Xuan enjoying herself... digging n filling up bucket full of sands

Since they wasnt able to had any shape made out from the sand using her new toy i decided to bring them down to the beach to enjoy.... i had it in slide show the pics....

I did play in one game tat is the Tug of war game representing yellow team... We competed 2times with the green team in which we won but then to choose who is the winner when competing with blue team, we lost so meaning we are in the 2nd position for tug of war... no pic was taken coz no one could hold the camera for me.... where my husband? he is working so wasnt able to join us....

We left after we took group pic & the trophy plus hamper presentation.... Trophy is given to the winning team = Yellow while the hamper is to the best coordinating team = Blue... After the prize presentation we pack n then headed home... we left at the beach at 430... d kids all asleep during the travelling once they step in the car... yeah they are very tired oledi! haha... we had a very nice & unforgetful outing...

During night time when daddy was back home, Xuan told him wat she had done in the picnic as usual wif her broken phrases tat makes her daddy think so hard & asked me wat she is talking abt lol.... then we went out for dinner coz i told my mom not to cook since we had a tiring day....

Tat's all for this "Family Day"

2nd day at KK

2007-04-06T11:19:00.000+08:00

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....

2007-04-06T09:52:00.000+08:00

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

My Elder Princess... Xuan2

2007-03-22T08:46:00.000+08:00

Recently the whole family is playing around with Xuan2 tat we will give either herself or her sister to someone else as we could not handle to take care of both of them & Xuan2 is not assisting to accompany or playing with the sister, Jia2.... She was frustrated whenever we mention that... she will start to play tantrum by either pulling her fingers, bang her feet on the ground or cross feet by rubbing them hard or even start to hit u, pull your shirt, lots of cute cute thingy... if i m d one making fun of her i will tell her tat if u dont want mummy to give sis away go accompany her n play wif her.. she will answer back "ok!, mummy" then walk towards her sister n sit next to her then say ang gu gu to her.. then will walk back to me "ok! done mummy" haha arent she's cute... i burst out laughing n then tell her how could you do that... u supposed to be there all the time.. if u still do that again i will give ur sis away... she will then say again "ok! mummy" n then walk to her sis this time she will stay a bit longer wif her n then same thing comes back to me n say "ok! done mummy"... it seems like she is telling u tat she had done her job well... haha my gals are both so cute... always knows how to brighten up my day from my stress n tiring day after work....

Jia is now 4.5mths... she dont like to lie on her back always will flip around once you place her down no matter if it's on the plain floor or bed... yeah plain floor without sleeping mat... now her post seems like she's going to learn how to crawl... she dont speak tat much as compare when she's younger but she smiles alot... she smiles out wif loud sound some more... last night she was playing happily with her grandma while i had my dinner... you must be wondering where is daddy? he's still at work during tat time... he came back home at around 710pm then assist here n there to take care of the kids...

Wow!!! Time flies

She was cradle by her daddy n feeding is also done by him as i got terrible headache tat i feel so dizzy tat's d symbol of going to get sick... i told my husband i could not take it anymore n apologise that i need him to take care of the kids... he was really kind tat he told me just go ahead n rest just leave the kids to me... without hearing wat he gonna continue next i oledi fall asleep... yeah u can know how tired i'm... d next time i wake up was 445am by my husband coz jia2 needs feeding... i breastfeed her while my husband went back to sleep after i check wif him if jia2 had disturb him last night... he told me tat she went back to sleep once he done feeding her just cradle her for a while... i asked him to sleep as he got another 1hr more to sleep before getting ready to work... once done wif feeding jia2 i placed her in between me n my husband on our bed... she did not went to sleep immediately as she look around mumbling her baby language before going back to sleep... i dint know for how long she is playing there coz i fall back to sleep oledi... i know when i woke up to place her back to her cot she's already sleeping... then i woke up at around 730am start wif arranging of the expressed milk by properly putting them to the correct feeding bottle then start pumping before going to shower... while i was shower i heard my elder princess, xuan2 calling grandma informing her tat she's awake... yeah she's cute... then she call me on the bathroom door telling me she has wee wee on the potty n wants me to clean it... yeah she's no longer on pampers when she's sleeping... we just let her have the napkin on just incase she did not wake up for wee wee but she is clever she did not wet it even... she wakes up my mom if she wanna wee wee in the middle of the night... why my mom right? coz she's sleeping in the same room wif my mom... i'm so proud of my xuan2 eventhough compare to my frend's daughter she's oledi late in doing this potty wee wee but she learn very fast... we train her for abt 1week n now she can do it all prefectly... compare to the gal tat my mom is still baby-sit whom is already in Pr. 2 my xuan2 is so clever... coz d gal still on pampers haha yeah we always tease her wanna her to malu n stop on the pampers during nite time.. hope she will learn it fast like my xuan2.

I cant help it but to write it in here on wat i have encounter with my col. at work... I am expecting a fax from a company where they will faxed it over to our other branch as my office fax could not received fax or print from the 3 in 1 printer due to the printing problem(as per my technician when i first came to work 1.5yrs ago) we can only send fax with tat 3 in 1 printer so meaning it's now 0.5 instead of 3 in 1 printer haha...

I called up the branch staff to inform them tat i'm expecting an urgent fax from a company asking her if she received it... then she reply me back i dont know how to operate the fax... i asked her wat do u mean? she said i dont know how to use it... then i answer back WAT? then i asked her how long u working there? she said for 2weeks... then i said for the whole 2 weeks u dont know or ask on how to use it... she said i did ask him(our technician) n he just laughed at me... then i said did u let my sis know she said yes n then added tat my sis said she will be working there temporarily only once we got staff she will be transfer... ok... then i asked her if there is customer requesting to send fax to oversea... she said yes i just told them sorry as i dont know how to use the fax machine.... (i pengsan lah when i hear dis) then i asked how about receiving faxes meaning does the fax machine rings from time to time(wanna ensure that the fax machine is working prefectly)... she said yes she heard ringing from the fax machine but she just let it be(just let it keep on ringing till it stop) coz i dont know wat to do if i hear the ringing... i believe u guys can imagine oledi how is my expression on my attitude at tat time... but then i tried so hard to control it not to burst into just scolding her... it maybe her mistake for not learning how to use the machine for the past 2 weeks she's working there... but if wat she said is correct, it's also his fault for not teaching her properly that is once he teached her he got to ensured that she fully understand wat he has just taught... tat's wat i always did to my col. before when i give them training... once i done wif training i will asked them to repeat wat i hv just taught them to ensure that they fully understand so they will not answer back next time to me o another person i dont know how to use it coz was not be teached.... i had tat lesson before so i dont wanna things to be repeated again...

without any delay, i immediately call up my technician asking him if he ever training the staff on how to use the machine n he reply me back i did... i told her wat the staff told me n he reply back to me ok ok i will call her now... sounds as if in the rush i told him wait i havent finish... it's true mah i havent finish n i hate it begin interrupted when i wanna tell wat should be done n some more it's an urgent fax i'm expecting.... i told him please call her up n teach her but i m expecting tat there's no paper in the fax n i dont know if the staff understand wat i'm trying to tell her... coz from her reply seems like i'm talking alien language to her... haha i want him to call her he immediately n talk to her in tagalog to ensure tat she fully understand it... (she's filipino wat, dont tell me dont understand tagalog{i know not all filipino understand tagalog but i heard him talking to her in tagalog all the time over the phone when she experience problem)... ok he said i will call her now n teach her... ok....

i waited for around 15mins before calling her back to check if she oledi received call from him on teaching her how to use the fax n she told me he just scold me loudly n said he will come in the evening... c wat a staff i hv... i already told him it's urgent fax tat i'm expecting... which company will fax it to u in the evening... errr.... i told her ok i will go now to her place.

i quickly left the office heading to the branch n guess wat i found out... yeah no paper in the fax machine i asked her got paper give me... YES!!!! she answer me back NO paper only dis i hv (it's our company daily sales form she gave me)... errrr cool down angie... then i pointed to the fax screen did u see dis... out of paper.... so meaning we need paper in the fax machine in order to received fax... errrrr... she said i dont know... how can she know if she dont even bother to look on the display... since i'm expecting the fax i just used the only paper she had to print out the fax tat was sent earlier... YEAH good thing the 3 in 1 printer got memory.... then i teach her how to send n received fax n also tell her on how to load the paper... before i go i ensure her tat she fully understand wat i just told her... she said yes but as usual i doubt it... haha coz from her expression seems like i'm talking alien language...

Before i left there, i reminded her always to call the office for me if she encounter watever problem then i will divert to the respective personnel so as i can also do follow up... i told her she hv to follow up not tat she just inform once n tat's all... we r all humans we tend to forget things... she said yes n smile at me wif innocent look... sigh.... i dont know wat to say to her further... how can ppl like her perform good result in her working environment... her work is so damn easy oledi n yet she cant satisfied me tat she can perform well... No comments maybe i had a high expectation on my staff... haha
