Evan's Sports Day

What a day! Our little Baby is now 7 years old and running for the Red Team for Sports Day in the Kelana Jaya Stadium. Boy, the stadium was filled with parents and children of all ages and oh, it was so colourfully decorated with colourful balloons and uniformed children... Opening ceremony was so grand, starting with the school band, scouts, red crescent, girl guides... blah blah... and the march in procession by the participants..a lovely sight to behold...

Here we have Evan, eagerly waiting for his turn to RUN.. and YES!!! VICTORY!!! He won a gold medal!! It meant so much to him and he was so very proud of it that, he slept with the gold medal in his hand... :)
Evan & Noel's School Sports Day!

Chinese New Year 2008 @ Langkawi

It's been a long time since the 4 of us went on a trip. Gina got a special rate at Berjaya Langkawi Beach & Spa Resort. Even with a 50% off, it was still kinda of hefty. Two things worth noting if you're thinking of putting up there during your visit to Langkawi. Firstly is it's distance from Kuah town. Secondly, the chalet is located up hill in the forrest and you need the shutter service to take you back and forth to the lobby.
Two main places we visited was the Cable car ride to the mountain top and Pulau Payar about an hour by ferry. Heard a lot about this Island but it was a bit disappointing. Wasn't what I expected. Water wasn't very clear, rubbish here and there and very wavy which makes it hard to snorkel as you'll get a terrible headache if you do. Noel and me ended up floating at sea which was kind of fun till both our heads started spinning after awhile. From that point on, it was bad. Had to get up to shore and lie down to feel better. The experience I had in Krabi was much better. I'm really amaze how people can work at sea. Some people was reading while the boat was moving left to right. How do they do it? Saw two guys relaxing on a yacht moving up and down. What's the fun in that? I was trying my level best not to humiliate myself and my family by throwing up on the ferry.
What will you do if you just rented a car and before it reach the petrol station like just a 100 metres away, the car stop out of gas? Would you give the people a good piece of your mind or would you still stay tolerant? I leave it to you to ponder.
Cable car ride is worth going. I wonder how much they spend building it. You get special rates if you're a Malaysian. It's similar to the one in Genting Highlands but this is very much higher and there are not many poles in between the cable. It's basically one long cable connecting from bottom to the top. One advise is not to look down when you're on it. Scary! Winds very strong near the mountain top. It's something that you do once but not do it again. Kinda like going to Cameron Highlands. Only fun the first time but try going there a second time and you'll be asking yourself why you came.
Well, the bottom line is the kids enjoyed themselves. I wonder when we can go for another trip together again. Oh how time flies, how fast they grow!

YEAH!!! The three of them showing OFF what fun they have had together!!!

They sang a birthday song and cake cutting and packed and go... ha ha.. poor boys... they wanted to stay so badly.. but the night is just for the dear Father....

A day at the Zoo

School holidays at the Zoo.. Very tiring, J and I realise that we're getting older by the day...walk also half dead.. and the kids.. we cannot understand where the energy comes from..
This is a funny sight to behold.. Our ever cheeky rascal Evan decided to check this camel out.. he was feeding the poor camel with all sorts of leaves.... and the camel don't seem to mind it.. He just kept complaining that the camel does not take bath... it stinks!
We managed to take a quick pic.. just in time... b'coz, it was just a instant later when it started dropping bombs of shit.. right in front of us.. and the kids exclaimed..... " Oh POOH..... how rude!!! YUCK!!!... Almost all the crowd Zooomed away....

19th Sep 07 - 10th Wedding Anniversary

Hmmn.. .. the both of us had a romantic holiday up in Frasers Hill.. which we have not visited for more than 10 years.. Golly.. the place has dwindled... think it'll be the last time we'll ever go there..... nothing much to see or visit no more..

10 years... of marriage.. lucky for me, hubby says it seemed only like a few years has gone by ... hah! Funny, we enjoy the times we have quietly together yet, we miss the children's bubbly nonsense and chattiness... it was soooooo quiet there that you could hear a tiny little pin drop....
