A Merry Go Round Life

My Lil Golfer.

2008-05-20T23:31:00.004+08:00

My lil boy all geared up for his golf lesson.

An update on my lil golfer. As always, Timothy is always keen to go for his golf lesson every weekend with daddy. Recently, his previous golf coach, Aaron has resigned and moved to China. Timothy has a new coach again. To be exact, his third one already. *Sigh* Of course, Timothy and I are not very happy with the situation but what can we do, right??!!

Timothy seems to adapt well to the changes so far. I guess he's getting used to the fact that his golf coach doesn't stay put in one place for long. As for the golf coaches, I guess they got to find better prospects for themselves and China seems to be a good market so I heard.

I hope their teaching technics does not diverse very much from one another and Timothy is coping well. As I observed on certain ocassions when I tag along to the club for his one hour lesson, half the time he is fooling around with his coach. The other half, he'll be hitting some balls, chipping and putting.

His coach will play a silly lil game with him sometimes. They'll compete and challenge one another. And of course, the coach got to give him a handicap la and pretend to miss on certain putts. They will giggle themselves silly from the far distance.

I specifically informed his golf coach that my main aim for Timothy to learn golf is to have fun as well and I'm very glad my boy seems to doing that. *smile*

Proud mummy with his lil golfer.

My Dear Old Friend.

2008-05-17T23:10:00.002+08:00

I was so happy to meet my dear friend Amy from Hong Kong the other night. We have been good friends for more than a decade (make us sound so old, huh??!!) and we have ever since stayed in-touch from time to time despite the far distance and busy separate lives through emails and sometimes our lil trip to visit one another.

We had both gone a long way from being single to happily married and fulfilling mothers now. We had a good time catching up at the lounge in Ritz Carlton Hotel KL, unfortunately her stay was a short one.

It was so wonderful of her to make time to see me in spite of her very short busy business trip. I wish the time would drag a bit longer while we were hanging out that night but nevertheless it was indeed good to see my dear friend in person again. Perhaps, my next meeting with her and her family will be in Hong Kong soon. *wink*

With my beautiful friend Amy. A great wonderful mother of 2 - an intelligent and charming pair of a boy and gal. A dedicated wife and daughter. A career minded woman. A woman who juggles her work, family and social life in perfect balance. My role model and I have nothing but praises for her.

Mother's Day.

2008-05-11T17:13:00.007+08:00

I would like to wish all mothers A Happy Mother's Day! Have a great day with your family.

A beautiful card from my boy. He did this in school.

This is how I looked like in Timothy's eyes. Short hair, big red lips, super long eyelashes and dangling earrings. hahaha. I love the patterns at the sides too.

Bangkok

2008-05-06T14:17:00.011+08:00

I went for a lil short trip to Bangkok. An awesome 3 days 2 nights trip with 3 of my other good friends.

We stayed at Somerset, Park Suanplu Bangkok. Our main aim to Bangkok was just to 'makan-makan' and shop. Nothing else!! Ha!

We discovered some magnificent restaurants through friends recommendation and had the best Thai food ever. Superbly delicious!!! 'Must-go' places for my shopping spree was to Siam Paragon, Emporium and Gaysorn. I got what I wanted and as I mentioned, my favourite purchase was my 'bling- bling' shoe amongst the rest of goodies I've bought. *wink*

Daddy commented that luckily it was a short trip or else he will be bankcrupt in no time. :P I had lotsa fun with my friends. Good food, good company and good retail theraphy. What more can I ask for!!??

Here are some pictures I took randomly with my buddies:-

With Ai Ling having snacks and drinks in Another Hound Restaurant (1st Floor, Siam Paragon) They served the best lil pieces of fried chicken. Yummy!!

Ai Ling and Ben posing away while having a scrumptious dinner in Ruen-Mallika Restaurant in Sukhumvit 22. Best authentic Thai cuisine I've ever tasted. *thumbs up*

With Ai Ling and Toto in a restaurant nearby our hotel. The food was nothing to shout about as we had tasted the best previous night.

My New 'Bling-Bling' Shoe.

Christian Louboutin Pigalle 70

Honestly speaking, these photos doesn't do justice to my latest super gorgeous, multi-coloured glitter pair of Christian Louboutin. It's so sparkly and fabulous as I look at it now compared to the pictures. The real thing simply takes my breath away!!! Ahhhhhhh. *sigh*

I've always admired Louboutine's work of art and I'm so glad I, now own a pair.

What makes Christian Louboutine's shoes so amazing is that each shoe has the trademark glossy bright red leather soles. Also, each shoe is carefully hand-made with precision.

This pair caught my eyes when I walked into On Peddar, Gaysorn, Bangkok ( shall blog abt my Bangkok trip in the next post *wink*) and I chose this low heels but yet sexy pair for at once when I wore it, it felt like it was specially made for me. Comfortable and glamorous at the same time.

I feel like dancing the night away everytime I slip them on. Get the music going and my Louboutin is capable of transforming me into a 'dancing queen'. *laugh*

Multi-colour glitter.

Trademark red sole.

Surprise!!!

2008-04-25T10:11:00.009+08:00

A lil packet arrived and I knew it was for Timothy. Daddy told me he is gonna surprise him with a Mystic Force Power Ranger costume which he had ordered couple of weeks ago from Costume Craze in Utah, US and it will probably arrive any day of the week.

I waited for Timothy to come back from school. I hid the box in the guest room. He took his shower while I transfered the box to the hall. He was jumping for joy when he saw the box. Confidently, he knew it was a gift for him.

He was so happy and proud to add another piece to his costume collection. He thanked his daddy over the phone and he was extremely happy through out the day. Or shall I say he was a happy green ranger the whole day la. *laugh*

"I think I know what is inside! It must be a costume coz I told daddy I want one."

"See!! I told you so. Daddy knows I like green ranger."

"Wahhh...mummyyy!!! It is so nice. I like it soooo much."

"I wanna try it on....I want to wear it nowwwwwwwww."

"I am a green power ranger mystic force!!" He then proceed to sing the theme song and started showing off his kung-fu moves with his own sound effects.

Sharks...Sharks and more Sharks.

2008-04-23T11:46:00.007+08:00

What else but sharks again. Timothy's art teacher, Uncle Giant is truly amaze with my 5+ year old boy fascination/obsession with sharks. He told me that Timothy refused to draw anything other than sharks.

Uncle Giant is wonderful enough to allow him to draw his favourite sea creature everytime and create a theme based upon it. As long as my boy is a happy camper in art class. *wink*

Under Water World. He drew himself wearing a green pants, daddy in a green shirt and daddy's friends in the tunnel while watching the sharks having an eating frenzy.

Scuba Diving. Daddy is the scuba diver. Swimming with the sharks. He has a weapon to protect himself just in case the sharks attack. My son really has a wild imagination!

The other day, I attended a function in Banquet Bangsar Village2. Organised by Bella whereby my friend is the latest spokewoman.

It was such a fun evening. Met a few of my good friends which I've not seen for ages cos I've been pretty lazy to go out socialising. We were full of conversation and the night went by like a snap of a finger.

The dresscode for the night was "a touch of white and a dash of red". I wore a red blouse, white pants and felt very chinese new year-ish. *smile*

2008-04-18T10:06:00.016+08:00

Eventhough my birthday is over, my sister Jeannie and my friend Suzanne were so sweet to invite me out for belated birthday treats on separate occassion.

What a lucky gal, am I??!! Birthday already passed but still get to celebrate somemore. hehehe

Sisterly bonding time.

My sister Jeannie specially took half day leave to take me out . We had a satisfying lunch in a new chinese restaurant called The Ducking in Jaya 1, PJ. We adjourned for coffee in StarBucks and then for a lil shopping in Bangsar Village 2. Later in the evening, we went to Jarod and Rawlins, Jln Dunggun for dinner and drinks. What a fun-filled day with my wonderful sis.

A lil birthday treat from my friend Suzanne. We went for dinner in Opus Bistro, Jln Bangkung Bangsar. Had a lovely time catching up with her and dinner was great.

Thank you for the present again.
I shall use each of the colour on each finger ok. hahaha.

Perfect Day!

2008-04-03T22:23:00.007+08:00

I couldn't ask for such a perfect birthday!

First and foremost, my son woke me up with 'perfect sweetness'. Hubby gave me the most 'perfect gift'. ( he has been paying attention *wink*) Loved ones, family and friends were so kind with sweet and 'perfect birthday wishes' and gifts. So much so, I felt so exceptionally grateful.

That very night, hubby brought Timothy and I for a lil candle light dinner for 3. Where else but one of my favourite restaurants, Cafe Cafe.

Our meals and Moet were 'perfect'. The ambience was 'uh-la la perfect' too. I certainly think that my favourite fruit flam cake was 'perfectly delicious'. My 5+ year old boy was 'perfectly well behaved'. Everything was 'perfecto'. hehehehe.

Timothy was so well behaved. He even spoke in his softest voice and sat through the whole 4 course meal without fidgeting.

Yummy!!!

Thank you, sweetie for all this. *blow kisses*

I woke up from a lil peck on the nose and there was my lil boy right at my face. Smiling!

I rubbed my eyes and he jumped on me so hard. Hugged me so very tightly and shouted out "Happy Birthday, Mummyyyy!!"

And then he handed me this:-

Timothy: "This is for you. I draw(drew) this so many days already. So hard to keep a secret!" *pouting*

Mummy: "Ohhh. Thank you so much babyyyy!! *pause* Is this mummy in a pink dress??" *pointing*

Timothy: "Yessss! And this is daddy and his knees are bend (kneel). He give(s) you a gun."

Mummy: "Huh!! Why a gun, darling!" *curious*

Timothy: "To shoot the sharks la! But you know what?? The gun is a pretend one (fake). When you shoot, flowers will come (pop) out. When the shark smell(s) the nice nice smell, it will run (swim) away becos he don't like the nice smell. So you are safe and daddy will protect us. *happy grin*

Isn't he the funniest, sweetest and cutest boy??? *smile*

Fish Spa

Kenko Fish Spa. Timothy with his cousin Eugene.

The other day, daddy took Timothy and his cousin Eugene to the famous Fish Spa Theraphy in Pavilion. The boys were so excited about the whole idea of lil fishes nibbling on their feets!!!

What an interesting unique spa where lil fish called the 'Garra Rufa' or Dr.Fish exfoliate the dead skin on your feet by eating them. I was not game to try it out as the thought of it makes me cringe. I prefer the conventional way of going to my weekly pedicure. *wink*

Timothy and his daddy had a good time, though. The initial ticklish sensation they experienced were quite a funny sight where father and son were gigling away.

I was glad I did not try it out coz the sight of a big shoal of fish dashing over to their feets and starting a feeding frenzy made me feel so 'geli' . Yucks!!

The boys having a fun time while the fishes nibbled away.

Daddy's feet is very 'laku'. I guess his feet a lot of dead skin la.

Only a few came nibbling on Timothy's feet. Nothing to eat on my lil boy's soft feet.

Crazy for Shoes

2008-03-25T01:30:00.004+08:00

My olive beauty.

I'm so proud and happy to share with you my latest pair of shoes again. An olive coloured suede flat thong.

I walked into Giuseppe Zanotti shoe boutique in Pavilion and this pair just caught my eyes.

I love the simpleness of the delicate shining crystals on the front and a lil side buckle for I can easily wear it for day and night. Not only it's comfortable but it has a touch of sexiness eventhough it's a flat sandals.

This is my second pair of Zanotti's and I hope to collect many more as I just simply adore their unique hot sexy sandals that they are so famous for.

His favourite sea creature. SHARKS!!

Timothy has resumed his art class. Instead of going to Art House in Bangsar Village 2, I have changed him to a new place in Sri Hartamas called The Caterpillar.

My 5+ year old boy enjoys drawing and is very good at it as well. If you notice all his previous drawings, he sketched out the tiniest details in his art work and is very creative. I love his great sense of colour coordination.

Every Friday after school, he looks forward to seeing his friends and his art teacher by the name of Uncle Giant. He is such a jovial and fun teacher. He would crack up funny jokes while teaching and all the kids like him alot. Timothy laughs himself silly and totally has a good 2 hours of fun drawing and colouring.

A Birthday Party! He drew a picture of his best friend Zachry's birthday party.

Attended The STYLO Event featuring Khoon Hooi's latest spring/summer 2008 collection the other day.

The fashion show was held in a purpose-built structure called the fashion cube just outside the Pavilion shopping mall. A big bright red box that accommodates about 400 guests. Tiered seatings surrounding a 20-metre runways that dominates as center stage. It was indeed a state of the art fashion arena.

I was seated at the front row with my friend Ai Ling and we had the best view of the show. Simply fabulous!! I totally had an eye on a couple of Khoon Hooi's latest designs and I can't wait to get my hands on them. *wink*

SP Trip

2008-03-22T11:04:00.001+08:00

The recent 1 week school holidays, I was back again in Sungai Petani.

Eventhough I went back during the country's general elections , everything seems to be good and safe in my lil hometown. The results were not what people expected and were a refreshing change from the previous one. I shall not elaborate on this heated topic as this is not a political related blog lor. *wink*

As always going back to SP is never a bore. I brought back a paddling pool and set it right up in the middle of my mum's lil beautiful garden. We had a lil barbeque on one of the evenings and my sister Theng invited her friends from Penang over. That nite the weather couldn't be more perfect as compared to the raining spell we were experiencing for the past few weeks.

Needless to say, Jordan and Timothy were always playing together and inseparable. It always feels good to return home and see my loved ones ( eventhough a certain someone showed no acknowledgement la :( ) . Wish I could do it more often as the long distance doesn't permit me to do so. Till the next school holiday.

Soaking in the sun. A nice cool dip on a hot sunny day.

With his cousin Jordon. They're involved in a love-hate cousin relationship. The best of cousins one second, the next the worst of enemies. Very confusing one. *shake head* hahaha.

Zachry's Pokemon Birthday Cake.

Timothy loves going to parties especially when it happens to be his best friend, Zachry's birthday party.

Most of his classmates were there too. Plenty of games and lots of fun filled activities to entertain the kids. Once he stepped foot at Zachry's house, he totally ignored his daddy and mummy. Ran to his friends and started socialising. If we were to leave him behind, I think he would not have even notice it.

He played like crazy and enjoyed himself to the fullest till the party ended. A real party animal! That very night, he had nightmares and was crying and screaming in his sleep. I guess he exceeded his level of fun already. Cialat!!!

Pulau Pangkor

2008-03-03T03:40:00.002+08:00

On the 3rd day of CNY, we had a lil getaway to Pulau Pangkor.

We stayed at Pangkor Island Beach Resort Hotel. A very nice hotel indeed - A beautiful pristine long (1.2km) private beach. Sand so soft and fine. Crystal clear water. The weather was extremely good to us. Clear blue sky through out our 4 days 3 nites stay.

I was also very impressed with our big stunning suite room that consists of a cosy living room, a lil kitchenette, a bedroom with a huge window facing the sea and a spacious bathroom equipped with a jacuzzi for 2 over looking the sea. The view from the balcony was fantastic and so breathtaking as we watched sunsets over the horizons everyday.

Timothy had such a good time - He went for a boat ride and did snorkeling. He was on the canoe with daddy. He was building sand castle, swimming, paddling, splashing and just lying on the sand.

As for me, I spent a day at the Aryani Spa getting pampered. Blissful!!! Was thoroughly rejuvenated and refreshed after that. *wink*

Check out some of the beautiful pictures we took and what we had been up to.

Here are some of my favourite pix.

The scenic view.

Hanging out at the beach. He loves the sand, sun, breeze and the water.

Entertaining himself . The sand was really fine like cystal flour. Add water and it turned into this gooey clay. Great for sand castle building.

Hand in hand. Father and son going for a swim. I took this pix from a far distance and it turned out really amazing.

Daddy doing all the hard work while Timothy navigates. hahaha.

I am the captain of the boat!!!

I love the sparkle of the waters and the silhouette of both my boys. They canoed from one end to another.

Taking a dip with his favourite toys!! He played by himself for hours as I relaxed and did some reading nearby.

Doing some rock paintings. So intense and full of concentration.

All prepared and geared up for snorkelling. My 5+ year old boy is so adventurous.

Timothy all excited as daddy preps up.

Daddy and Timothy exploring while I joined after that.

The view was simply breathtaking and one of the reasons I love going to beach resort.

Timothy took this picture . Such a good camera boy. What a perfect shot, don't you think???

CNY cupcakes for family reunion dinner.

CNY is over. 2 weeks just went by like a snap of a finger.

I must say that CNY is indeed a time of the year when families and relatives come together. Having a swell time and truly celebrate this wonderful yearly occasion. Plus, indulging in plenty of good food. Seriously, my weighing scale is not my best friend right now. *laugh*

And of coz through out the CNY, Timothy was really happy receiving lotsa angpows!!! His eyes just lighted up when a red packet is handed to him. Really a $$$ face boy, you know?!. Don't know like who la?! hehehe. *cunning grin*

Well, Timothy and I rehearsed before the CNY . When someone gives an angpow. Politely look at the person and say clearly 'Gong Xi Fa Cai' and 'Thank You'.

He repeated "Gong Xiii Fay Choy" and so forth like a good boy.

But when the actual moment came. He uttered the whole exact sentence perfectly and after that said out loud.

"How much is inside ah, mummy??" while trying to tear open his angpow to find out. Really cialat!!! hahahaha. The innocence of my 5+ year old boy.

After doing the 'lou sang' for many times. I bet Timothy would be a lucky and prosperous boy, huh!!!... hahaha.

A tradition continued on hubby's family side where they kneel to 'cham cha' (give tea) to his parents on CNY. Timothy sure looked like a fillial lil grandson. *wink*

Hubby's Birthday

2008-02-19T23:56:00.011+08:00

There's so much to update! So many happenings and celebrations during the festive season. I shall start off with hubby's birthday on the 5th Feb before the CNY.

I had a lil do for him at the golf club KGNS. Invited all his 'heng tais' for dinner in the chinese restaurant after their game of golf. We occuppied 2 tables and had 'lou sang' together as well.

The highlight of the nite was when the surprise birthday cake was brought out. I wanna have a sense of humour about life and of the party. Therefore, I had arranged for a naughty cake. On it a gal with big boobs. Hubby liked it alot and was laughing his heads off when friends cheered him to lick the 'you know where la' after he blew his candles. (Sorry, can't post that pix up as it's quite x-rated) hahaha.

And as for my lil boy, he was also very amazed by the cake and can't keep his hands off the 'nen nen'. So very 'hamsap'. He insisted he wanna eat that particular part which daddy cut it off and pop it in his mouth. *laugh*

What a fun nite! I was very glad hubby had a good time with his friends.

The naughty birthday cake. Hubby and Timothy tried to lift the skirt up but were disappointed to see nothing underneath. My 2 silly boys!!! hahaha.

Timothy helping daddy out.

Cutting the cake. May your birthday wish comes true!!!

Valentine's Day

2008-02-15T21:26:00.011+08:00

Hubby and I would rather not celebrate Valentine's day at all if Timothy can't be with us. How can we leave our lil boy behind and celebrate it by ourselves??!!!! It doesn't feel right!!

We took Timothy along for a candle light dinner eventhough next day was a school day. We decided it would be alrite to allow him to sleep past his bedtime that day. (Timothy sleeps by 8.30pm everyday except weekends) Anyway, the nite didn't end late. The next morning, he rised up as usual for school.

We had a lovely dinner nearby in Decanter Restaurant. I noticed Timothy was the only kid there as only couples/lovebirds were seen dining. My boy had his 1st Valentine's dinner with mummy and daddy. Excited and proud to be with us. One day, he would not feel the same way. He won't want to spend it with his old folks anymore but instead with his special someone. Sigh! I dread for that day to come. Ha!

My lil Valentine giving mummy a kiss. I love this shot!! So sweet rite??!!!

Birthday Dinner.

2008-02-04T20:27:00.000+08:00

The other day, we had a lil birthday celebration for a good friend of mine at Villa Danieli, Sheraton Imperial Hotel, KL. Again, as always when everytime I set foot in Sheraton, it brings back sweet memories of my wedding day as it was held there many years ago. The Italian Restaurant is one of my favorites for hubby and I have celebrated couple of our anniversaries and occasions there.

It appears that the menu in Villa Danieli has since changed and I'm glad it still hold the same standards as always - very delicious, tasty and authentic. Highly recommended! Plus, I simply love the old rustic cosy Italian cottage atmosphere and feel. It sets the perfect mood!!!

Such a wonderful night dining and wining with hubby and close friends. After having a scrumptous dinner, we hopped over to Heritage Mansion and enjoyed the rest of the night away with a bottle of birthday gal's favourite bubbly, Don Perignon. Cheers! It was all so lovely. We had such a good time.

Birthday Gal, Ai Ling and happy moi.

I Love Reading!

2008-02-01T20:09:00.000+08:00

I wanna prepare Timothy well ahead for his Year 1 in Sri KDU next year. No doubt he's in a good kindergarden now but seeing the standard of work they do, though I think is not up to my standards.

Timothy has a tutor who comes to the house twice a week to concentrate on his maths and mandarin. (which I think is very important as hubby and I are illiterate in that particular language) I also send Timothy to a reading class every twice a week as to cultivate him to have the interest for reading. And since then, he has improved dramatically and getting better by the day.His schedule is basically full on the weekdays.

Well, I'm not that 'kiasu' until there is all work and no play for my lil boy. He has his golf and swimming lesson on the weekends which he very much look forward - Lots of play time with his play group too. Try to well balance everything. I have since stopped his art class for I think it's not his priority right now. He can anytime resume his lil talent of his when time permits.

So far so good, he has not shown any sign of reluctance or complain about any of his extra curriculum activitivies that I've arranged. Being an only child, he's often bored and enjoyed all sort of activities together with his lil friends otherwise he would be so restless at home. In truth, all I want is Timothy to be happy and have fun through learning. Mummy knows best and want the best for his lil darling boy. *wink*

Video clips of Timothy doing his reading. He is currently reading 4 different books every week from Oxford Reading Tree.

My Lil Obsession.

2008-01-30T22:13:00.000+08:00

Absolutely gorgeous!!! This is what I utter to myself everytime I look at my latest pair of shoes. A gold leather 'chip' ballet flats from Roger Vivier.

Love at first sight when I set my eyes upon it when I saw a friend strutting around in this gorgeous pair. I told myself I must have it by hook by crook. It's just to die-for!!! If you have a lil obsession like mine, you'll truly understand what I'm feeling la. *wink* I found out the nearest place available is in Hong Kong and a friend of mine was so kind enough to get it for me on his recent trip.

So here I am. A very happy woman with yet another beautiful pair of shoes added to my collection. Life will not be complete without fabulous shoes!!

The signature buckle. Isn't it gorgeous???!!

2008-01-20T23:49:00.000+08:00

Woke up one morning. Looked at myself in the mirror and I just got fed up with my boring long unruly hair.

The next thing I did was made a call to a friend to fix an appointment with Andy Ho in The Gardens instead of my usual trip to Edwin Saw in KLCC. Not my norm as I wanted a new someone to snip my mane. Nobody knows I went for my haircut except hubby and Timothy for they think I was just going to my usual trim at my usual place!

Went there on time at the beautiful all white decor salon. Sat down. Told the renowned Andy, I was sick of my long hair. Chopped it off! Create a new look for me. Something stylish. Something different. Make me look younger la. *grin*

Snip...snip...snip later. Here is a pic of my new look.

*Drum Roll*

How do I look????

I feel so much lighter with shorter hair. I'm
glad Timothy loves my new look and complimented me that I look 'cantik' as his exact word. Hubby said he got a new wife. ahahaha.

P.S I Love You

2008-01-19T22:50:00.000+08:00

My most recent read. P.S I Love You. Author by Cecelia Ahern. A love story of a young widow who has to cope and move on after the loss of her husband.

This book leaves me feeling a mix of everything. Happy, sad, humourous and romantic. All in one. At some moments, it made me laugh out loud and the next, brought me to tears on numerous time. I found myself so absorbed with the anticipation on Holly's each letter from Gerry. The story actually centres around this envelopes and the tasks it contains. An easy fun read.

I can't wait to watch the movie, though. Starring Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler. Hope it's as comparable to the book. *wink*

Two parties in a night. Yes, that was how we celebrated and ushered the New Year. We attended 2 parties, one was held in my friend's house in Sierramas and the other was in Damansara. Being in the other side of town, we avoided the massive jam and crowd.

It was absolutely fun counting down the New Years together with good friends. This will be Timothy's 2nd year joining daddy and mummy for he's a lil old enough to ('tahan') stay up late till midnight - getting all excited doing the count down, screaming out loud 'happy new year', hugging and wishing everyone, fooling around with the party poppers and basically having a jolly good time.

However, after the revelry mellowed down, my lil boy said to me.

"Is that all? OK. Let's go home. I am so tired now." As he clinged on to his daddy and looking so exhausted.

Shortly, daddy and mummy headed back home and he fell asleep like a baby in the car. Again I'm so blessed to have Timothy and daddy with me on this special day and hope there'll be many more to come. *smile*

Timothy all ready. In the mood to party and have a good time.

With the Kuan's family. ML, Cherrie and cute lil baby Adam. Timothy is holding hands with baby Adam. So sweet!!

With the ever so bubbly and cheerful Poh Gaik.

With the gals.

The wonderful host and mother of an 8th mth old, Alison and her brother, Kevin.

Late Greetings.

Would like to wish everyone a 'Belated' Happy New Year and may 2008 brings you good health and a wonderful year! *wink*

School has reopened for about a week. It's Timothy's 3rd year of attending pre-school. How time flies! I still remember his very first day of school like it was only yesterday. He used to cry buckets when I left him. It was so difficult to say good-bye as I saw him crying hysterically. The crying, vomitting and drama ended only after 2 long weeks. It was an experienced!!

But now, it's totally a different story. He will kiss daddy and mummy good-bye and skipped happily to the entrance of his school without even looking back. Ha! Sometimes I'm not even allowed to kissed him in front of his friends or teachers. hahaha.

I'm back to my daily routine again of attending to Timothy's school schedule and his extra activities. I've mentioned before, my life basically revolves around my lil boy and I have no complains. I'm enjoying every minute that comes along without missing a single milestone of his. My boy is growing up so fast before my eyes.

A lil updates on my 5+ year old boy. What he has partly been up to during the school break!

Being allowed to play gameboy for an extended time . So, he was basically glued to that lil screen la!

Practically staying up very late (12 ish) every nite. Comatosed on the sofa one nite while watching TV.

Swimming...swimming...swimming. Always at the pool when weather was great .

.
.

To sum it all up. He has been 'driving' mummy crazy la. See! Tyre also punctured. hehehe.

Christmas Day!

2007-12-29T09:53:00.000+08:00

Christmas for me was simply a quiet day with family. Being together and having a lovely time with the people I love most. We had a Christmas dinner of turkey in Monte's BSC and headed downstairs to La Bodega for after drinks with friends.

A wonderful fun 'hyper' day for Timothy. Opened his many presents. Played with his new toys that only kept him occupied for the day la.

I hope your Christmas day turned out as fun and great too. *wink*

Merry Christmas!

2007-12-25T10:43:00.000+08:00

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

BBQ

2007-12-21T12:33:00.000+08:00

The other day, my in-laws had a BBQ party at their house for they had some guest over from Melbourne. I think having an out-door BBQ party is always fun as it's a great way to entertain friends- it's relaxed and informal.

My in-laws are famous for their BBQ parties among their friends. Basically, a meat lover would not want to miss out on their BBQs. Plenty of meat- Beef, lamb, pork chop, foot long pork sausages and etc etc etc. Plenty to eat and drink.

Since I'm a no red meat eater or a big fan of meat. I just had the BBQ tigers prawns specially grilled by hubby, some salad and a couple glasses of Chardonay. *wink*

Hubby behind the griller. Luckily all the food were edible. hehehe.

Being a good big brother. Taking care of his lil friend Chilly.

Timothy with his favourite doggy, Nigel.

After the party, Timothy all washed up and getting ready to head home. Picture together with Candice cheh cheh.

Power Rangers

2007-12-17T16:26:00.000+08:00

The Power Rangers Mystic Force *click here* were in town. Brought Timothy to catch the live show in Sungai Wang KL. The last place I'm not eager to go. Parking is impossible on weekends plus with the school holidays now. The crowd was massively horrible. Hubby was brilliant enough to valet park opposite at Park Royal Hotel to avoid the queue leading to the car park. We just had to walk a short distance across the mall.

Anyway, back to the topic, my 5 year old boy is a die-hard fan of the Power Rangers so we had to bring him to see the show not once but twice in 2 weekends. We have no regrets as he enjoyed the show so much till he was talking about it day and night. The pictures he took with the Rangers, it's always by his side and admired by him every minute.

Becoz of Timothy's influences, I'm quite knowledgeable on the characters and their roles as well. I guess that's part of the deal when having a boy, huh!!?? *wink*

Group Shot with the Mystic Force Rangers. Timothy asked to hold the Red Ranger's sword and when he nodded and allowed him, he was over the moon . Sorry! The pic is not very clear coz it's a re-snap from a photograph.

On the next following weekend, Timothy met his classmate Zachary in his full suit. He was so happy to bum into his best friend from school.

Amongst the crowd and enjoying the show.

Timothy's Monthly Hair Cut

2007-12-14T15:48:00.000+08:00

Looking at Timothy in the hair salon, Daddy commented that Timothy was gonna catch up to be as vain as mummy. Well, I don't think so coz nobody can beat me la. Muaha..ha...ha!

However, Timothy is very particular about his hair. As I mentioned before, he only allows Uncle Andy to trim his 'crowning glory'. He prefers certain ways on how his hair is handled, washed, combed, trimmed, styled and it seems no one beats Uncle Andy. He is the best as Timothy proudly claimed. *eyes roll up*

Uncle Andy never fails to disappoint him. *wink*

A shield to protect his face. Always extra special attention given to Timothy. Uncle Andy is so good to him. Always very patient and warm. Partly, I think he has watched Timothy grown and handled him from lil newborn till now.

Instructing Uncle Andy on how he wants his hair gel-up. His all time favourite. The spiky look!! Nobody is allow to touch or mess up his do or he'll get very mad. When mummy hugged him, he stretched his head far far away from me. Every few seconds, he will gently feel his hair to make sure it's still in perfect place. hahaha.

Trip Back North.

2007-12-13T12:28:00.000+08:00

To summarise my recent trip to SP & Pen, here is a photo-blog for your viewing pleasure. Timothy had a fun 2 weeks. Spending quality time with his MaMa, Soo Theng Ee Ee *click here* and of coz with his cousin Jordon.

He was reluctant to go back KL and insisted that he wanna extend his stay for another week. Daddy did not allowed it as he missed him tremendously already. 2 weeks without us including the maid, he was a 'Mr. Lonely' at home. hahahaha.

I guess my next trip back north again will be on CNY.

My sis Theng, my cute nephew Jordon and my Mum at Old Town Cafe Penang. I do agree the white coffee is very tasty!

Having a delicious noodle meal for lunch. The kids extremely love MaMa's simple home cooked meals. They devoured the whole bowl. "Thanks MaMa. So Delicious!"

With my brother in-law Jimmy & my sis Theng in SP club karaoke. They served the best chill beer ever. Cheers! Wished my 2nd sis Jeannie could be with us la. *wink*

Timothy's favourite time of the day. Taking a bath in the 'chui ti'. MaMa spoiled him rotten as to allow him to dip in the water basin usually still attached in most old fashion bathroom. When I scooped water out to bathe, it brought back nostalgic memories when I was a lil gal in SP. My childhood days were so simple back then compare to Timothy's now.

Old fashion home style BBQ pit. Timothy grilling his own sausages. Such a good boy helping mummy out. But for a lil while only la. After that, he 'cabut' as he complained about the heat and smoke. *shake head*

A game of soccer at a nearby 'padang' (field) . The 2 boys were naturals. The weather was perfect for an outdoor activity. Windy but yet sunny that late afternoon. I just love the simple laid back life style in SP where young kids usually hang out at the 'padang' playing sports every evening.

Check out the David Beckam's kick!

Best of team mates. How I wish Jordon is residing in KL. It would be so wonderful to have him nearby all the time. *smile*

Swimming at the pool in my sister's condo in Tanjung Bungah Penang. Nothing beats a nice cool dip on a hot day. Well, I gotto find activities to occupy the boys. Or else when bored, they will find faults and irritates one another. From best of cousin to enemies in a split second. Ha!

Having a go on the slide in Adventure Zone Golden Sand Hotel Penang. Took the 2 boys for a day of fun in the indoor playground. The slides were awesome!

Brave lil Jordon on the free fall slide. He is such a dare devil for a 7 year old boy. I, myself dare not even go close to it. hahaha. What a steep fall!

A strong punch on the big bad shark's tummy! Timothy liked the drawing on the wall so much till he insisted he wants his room wall to be painted exactly. Crazy ah!!!

Watching a Looney Tunes Show in Gurney Plaza Mall Penang. After 5 mins, the two boys had enough and wanted to leave coz they said it was boring as the show is for lil babies and they are big boys already. Like real!!! hahaha. But I find the show very entertaining wor.

Ann Tan & Diane Douglas. Desperate Housewives of M'sia.

*Click here*

I'm so proud and full of praises for my ex-schoolmate, Diane (The Desperate Housewives Team) who participated in the Amazing Race Asia 2. She invited me to attend the opening of the show party organised by Standard Chartered and Caltex in Velvet Underground, KL few weeks ago.

We had a blast as we watched the very 1st episode on the big screen together. Perhaps it was the crowd that was cheering and the upbeat atmosphere that made it even more exciting and nail biting. For a mother of 2, I'm truly amazed by her bravery, capabilities and her full of energy/bubbly personality. Still the same old Diane from schooling days. *smile*

I reckon the Desperate Housewives team will be in the top 5 finalist. I shall be rooting for them all the way. *wink*

Baby Shower in Bijou.

2007-12-11T12:35:00.000+08:00

Mummy to-be, Christina and Me.

I attended yet another baby shower of my friend, Christina. Lucky her, she is expecting a baby gal and everything was decorated in pink at Bijou *click here* Mont Kiara, KL. Check it out. It's a cool trendy place catered for everyone and very baby/children friendly as well. It has a good selection of nutritious homemade children menu that are guaranteed msg free.

Everything was superbly organised from the finger food, sparkling champagne to the decor. I love the specially made cupcakes that have lil babies wrap up on it. So 'sayang' to eat la.

I had a fun time with friends. Just simply love attending baby showers. I've never declined an invitation so far. Baby shower always triggers the happy jolly mood in me.

Wishing my dear friend, Christina a safe delivery and can't wait to see the lil bundle of joy soon.

Hello Everyone! Sorry for the lack of updates.

Been pretty busy as it's the school holidays now. Brought Timothy to Penang and Sg. Petani (my hometown) for the past 2 weeks. Indulged in some quality time with mum and family back home.

As I have mentioned before, my mum's house does not have an internet connection so I took a lil blog break. *wink*

Peter Pan

2007-11-18T21:27:00.000+08:00

Peter Pan The Musical is in town. Timothy was so hyped up about it for the past whole week. After watching it. Yes, Timothy & I were wowed by the musical now showing in Istana Budaya, KL. *thumbs up*

My mum purposely came down from Sungai Petani for this and my eldest sister, Soo Nie brought her 2 kids along as well.

A lot of people think that Peter Pan is a story for kids. True, but the stage version was quite an epic version of the story and one that adults love as well. It appeals to both children and adults. A spectacular cast and production. The stunning flying effects were amazing!

Since it's a musical for kids so it was always entertaining. Never a dull moment and Timothy was thrilled when he saw Peter Pan flying. Captain Hook was also one of his favourite character.

The best part was when Peter Pan came flying above us and sprinkled colourful sparkling fairy dust. For the finale, the whole auditorium were covered with bubbles. Magnificient!! Timothy was so impressed.

In the midst of the musical:-

Timothy: "Mummy!! Peter Pan is a real boy?? Why can he fly??? I want the fairy dust!"

Mummy: "He can't fly. There are 2 tiny thin ropes hanging on his back. Look carefully." *pointing*

Timothy: *pause and looking hard* "YA......I CAN SEE...I CAN SEE! THERE...THERE! HE IS JUST PRETENDING TO FLY." *shouting and gigling excitedly*

Mummy: "Shhh...shhhhhhh. Not so loud, darling." *embarass* *eyes roll up*

My five year old truly amazes me sometimes. hahaha.

Thanks to a friend of mine who made this musical possible for this photo opportunity with the character Peter Pan, Ryutaro Yanagita.

2007-11-13T16:33:00.000+08:00

This year, Estee Lauder Companies' Breast Cancer Awareness Charity Gala Dinner was held last week at the Grand Ballroom, Hilton KL. I supported and contributed on the campaign by sponsoring a table for 10 at the dinner event.

To fill up the table, I invited my mum, sis and a few friends to join me. It was definitely a gals nite out for a good cause. Highlights of the nite were performances from Jaclyn Victor, Vince Chong and Fashion shows from 5 top Malaysian designers. Dinner was a 4-course western set and attractive door gifts for everyone.

Proceeds for that nite were channelled to support the Breast Cancer Welfare Association (BCWA) and go towards providing free or subsidised mammogram screening through the College of Radiology Malaysia and the National Cancer Society of Malaysia (NCSM).

Cameron Highlands

2007-11-12T09:01:00.000+08:00

'Way Foong' Bungalow.

The last time I went to Cameron Highlands was exactly 7 years ago. When hubby and I were in our courting days. *smile*

Last week, we decided to spend a 3 days 2 nites stay as it's also Timothy 1st trip. Since the new road from Simpang Pulai has been opened, it was not as windy as the old road before. So the journey up was quite alrite. Luckily, Timothy & I didn't experienced any major car sickness.

Located high up in Tanah Rata, we stayed at an old lil colonial bungalow owned by HSBC. My brother in-law, Nick is attached to the bank. Therefore, we're able to have this opportunity.

The bungalow is called The 'Way Foong.' A 1930's one storey building that consists of 3 bedrooms with attached bathrooms, a living room with a fire place, a dining room, a kitchen and a lil beautiful garden at the back. It's manage by caretakers, a lovely old couple. Not only do they keep the place prim and proper but both are excellent cooks as well. They can cook up a storm. From breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner.

I had such a relaxing time. Reading. Playing card games. Going for walks with my son. 'Makan makan.' Drinking good wines. And just spending quality time with my family.

Breathtaking view of the tea plantation.

Sheena & Raja's Wedding

2007-11-04T23:16:00.000+08:00

The Beautiful Bride & Groom, Sheena & Raja.

I was very looking forward to this wedding dinner of beautiful couple, Sheena & Raja. It was held in Saloma Theater & Bistro, KL. What a grand wedding it was!

As you can see, I showed up for the occasion in a saree. I've always wanted to own one but never got to it. I set my eyes on this beautiful green soft material with gold trimming. Specially custom made a 'choli' to fit the whole ensemble.

Well, I can tell you this for sure, it's definitely not an easy peasy task wearing a saree. The intricate wrapping. Folding. Not as easy as it looks. Going to the toilet was also a bit of problem for me. Errr..... I sort of had a lil trouble la. hahaha. As always, for vanity sake I totally didn't mind the hassle and inconvenience. Typical me lor!!!

But anyway, I think it was well worth the trouble as I felt like a million bucks in it. Hubby also complimented me and said he got an indian wife for the nite. *wink wink*

Birthday Cake.

My hubby's best buddy, Mark celebrated his birthday yesterday. Hubby organised a lil dinner in King Crab Restaurant, Taman Megah ( one of my many favourite dining place) and invited a few of their close friends.

We had a feast. The crabs were finger licking good. But my favourite is still the boiled prawns. So tasty and delicious. I can simply eat the whole dozen myself. Geez!!! I've been eating a lot of prawns and rich food lately. My cholesterol level must be sky rocketting high. Cialat! hehehe. Too terrified to go check and find out la.

Anyway, what a fun simple nite we had!!! May your birthday wish comes true, Mark. Cheers.

I was delighted to be invited by my ex-boss to the KL Hilton Hotel appreciation dinner. The theme for the night was really unique. A wine oracle production and show blending sumptuous cuisine, exquisite wines and arts.

Dress code were absolutely fun where ladies wore strappy summery numbers and men casual attire. No tie required.

The whole dinner experience brought us to the world's most exciting cities such as Paris, Madrid, Venice, New Orleans and Buenos Aires, all through spectacular visuals, music and dance. The excellent menu the chefs prepared were superbly delicious and exquisite. *thumb up*

The mood was heightened by the performance of Stephanie Reese, soprano singer and stage talent who enchanted us with her angelic voice that transported us through the 'journey' to each city.

Open House

2007-10-30T23:36:00.000+08:00

Hari Raya Open House.

The best thing I like aboout Hari Raya Open House is savouring the malay delicacies. Ketupat, lemang, nasi impit, kuah kacang, rendang ayam ( I don't take beef ), masak lodeh, ayam masak merah and lots more. So greedy. Yum...Yum!!

We were invited to an open house held in Seri Melayu Restaurant, Jln Conlay on the weekend. I enjoyed the food very much. I had at least 3 helpings as I simply love spicy food. Timothy only had the roti bom with a lil bit of dahl and some satay cos most of the food were too spicy for him.

I came back a happy woman after having a feast. *wink*

I left school ( Father Barres' Convent, Sungai Petani) in year 1991. Since then, I have lost touch with most of my classmates and school mates. As you know, everybody went their separate ways and so forth.

A dinner was organized by an ex-school mate, Joanna who painstakinly took about 4 months to arrange for this gathering. She got everyone together through e-mail, corresponding with one another despite everyone's busy schedule/ lives and made this possible. Bravo!!

We were gathered in the coffee house in One World Hotel for dinner. What a special gathering where we recalled and shared memories among ourselves. Some were pleasant and some were quite embarrassing moments. hahaha.

We had definitely came a long way since then. Wishing everyone 'All The Best' and hope we shall meet again soon. I'm glad my sis, Theng took the time to come down from Penang for this too. *wink*

Educare's Concert 2007

It's the time of the year again!! Timothy's Annual School Concert. The children and theirs teacher had been practising hard for this special event for the past month. Daddy & mummy were so looking forward to it.

I woke up really early (not a norm for me ok), dressed Timothy up in his costume and put some make-up on him which he did not like it at all. He insisted I rubbed off the lipstick coz it taste yucky!! hahaha. The concert was held in The Auditorium of Securities Commission, Bukit Kiara. Comfortable chair seatings and unblocked view of the stage.

Timothy's was involved in a play where he played the role of a Father Goat. He did so well. Daddy and mummy were so proud of him. Well done, my boy!!!

My lil "Father Goat."

Timothy & Marissa. Father Goat & Mother Goat.

His lines went like this:- "I am Father Goat. I care for all my children. I always tell them to lock the door and never open the door to strangers."

His lines together with Mother Goat:- "We always tell our kids to be careful of the naughty wolf."

Shaking his bum bum.

UGLY

2007-10-23T17:20:00.000+08:00

This a tough read. It's an autobiograhical story of a terrible childhood. A true compelling story of Constance Briscoe. She is one of Britain's first black woman judges to tell of her own miserable childhood.

Rejected by her mother at the age 11. She applied to be taken into care. Sent home, she endured 2 more years of emotional abuse until her mother left her. Disturbingly honest book.

Well, I think I shouldn't be reading all this very sad books. The weather is unpleasantly gloomy outside. Timothy is out with his daddy. So depressingly quiet at home without my boy. Sentimental music is playing at the background. Geeez!!!. Feeling so melancholy now. I'm gonna 'cryyyyyyyyyy'. 'Cialat'.

Synopsis at the back of the book:-

I handed my school photograph to my mother. She stared from the photograph to me.

'Lord, sweet Lord how come she so ugly. Ugly. Ugly.'

These cruel words are just the beginning. Constance's mother systematically abused her daughter, both physically and emotionally, throughout her childhood. Regularly beaten and starved, the child was so desperate she took herself off to Social Service and tried to get taken into care. When Constance was 13, her mother simply moved out, leaving her daughter to fend for herself: there was no gas, no electricity and no food.

But somehow Constance found the courage to survice her terrible start in life. This is her heartbreaking-and ultimately triumphant-story.

Halloween is just around the corner. My five year old boy showed me his painting and asked me.

Timothy: "Mummy!! Will evil witch comes out on Halloween day????"

Mummy: "Errrr.... No darling. There is no such thing as evil witch."

Timothy: "I think there is alot of evil witch(es) in the jungle. And all will come out on Halloween day."

As you can see from his painting, 3 witches flying on broom sticks. Wild imagination!!!

Timothy went bowling.

2007-10-17T11:52:00.000+08:00

1....2....3.

Timothy loves bowling.

Timothy was invited to a birthday party held at the bowling alley in the Cineleisure, Curve. His first ever bowling experience and he was so excited.

It was such a fantastic idea to hold a birthday party at bowling alleys. The kids had a wonderful time bowling away in special designated lanes for children. What is so special was, there's two side bars to prevent the ball from going into the 'drain' ('long kang'). So no matter how they roll the ball, it cannot 'masuk long kang' one!!! hahaha.

Oh yes!! Lil tiny sizes bowling shoes were made available for all the kids. So very cute!!!

Friends Since Babies.

Lucas & Timothy at around 6 to 7 mths.

Lucas and Timothy have been playmates since they were just lil babies. I searched for their baby pictures in my computer files and found this. (above pix)

Look how lil they were. So adorable, right??!! Lucas is only a month older than Timothy. They get along pretty well.

Like any other kids their age, both of them are very competitive and hyper. They enjoy playing together till today. Recently, they started learning to call one another on the phone to arrange for play dates. *champion* Don't know what they'll come up next!

I hope they'll still be close friends when they grow up one day. *wink*

Mandarin Tuition

2007-10-09T14:39:00.000+08:00

Timothy & his tuition teacher.

Yes, extra mandarin lesson for my lil boy who literally pronounce any words in chinese like a "kuai low".

Every twice a week, mandarin teacher (Miss Tiew) will come to the house and give a one to one lesson for Timothy for an hour. He seem to be doing fine so far with the whole arrangement. I hope he'll be able to converse in mandarin fluently in future. *wink*

I walked into his room and *click click* a couple of picture of him.

Timothy: "MUMMY!! Why take picture of me???" *angry face*

Mummy: "So I can show daddy." *lied* (actually wanna post on the blog la)

Timothy: "Don't disturb me OK!!! I am BUSY laaaaaa."

Mummy: *walk out embarrass*

Doing his workbook.

Splash!!!

2007-10-08T22:53:00.000+08:00

Up...up...and away. SPLASH!!!

Sigh! I got to get back to the momentum of updating. Get the ball rolling again. *wink*

First, my camera went 'kaput' (out of order). So I sent it for repair. Without my camera, I felt really uninspired to blog. Well, I got it fixed! I'm back in action as my camera is as good as new.

I just recovered from a terrible flu that had developed into a bad cough. *cough cough cough* Was sick like hell. Medication made me so drowsy. Stoned. Lousy. Weak. I hate it!!!

A lil Whisper.

2007-09-28T22:51:00.000+08:00

28th Sept........

Silently... I wish him a happy birthday. Or maybe a whisper of good wishes and a lil prayer of good health.

"Eventhough you're so far away in my life but yet today it's such a very meaningful day for me. You were the one who partly brought life to me."

"I whisper again. The 3 so meaningful words.

Hoping one day you'll be back in my life 'Again'."

Melancholy it may seem. Hope!

I miss u so much! *tears*

Art Work

2007-09-27T17:07:00.000+08:00

Timothy's latest master piece from art class.

Mummy: "What did you draw today, darling?"

Timothy: "Power Rangers Dino Thunder. This two. *pointing* And shark boy. *pointing next* Below a Dinosaur. Same colour as Barney. But I don't like Barney anymore. It's for babies. I am a big boy already." *very action*

Mummy: "Nice work! But you're still mummy's lil baby." *smile*

Timothy: "NO! I DON'T WANT TO BE BABY." *angry look*

Mummy sad sad. *sigh*

My Recent Read.

2007-09-25T20:30:00.001+08:00

I just finished reading Khaled Hosseini second novel. A Thousand Splendid Suns. I was unable to put it down and finished it within 2 days. I think it's a very beautifully written story. I enjoyed this book tremendously. It's different from alot of other books, feels very historically accurate and different in perspective and insite despite being fiction.

The story tells about two unfortunate women living in Afghanistan. And how misfortune ended them with a same cruel violent man and so on.

I felt a renew appreciation for my own life as a woman in this world after reading this book. And realise how privilege I am. At one stage through the book, I had to stop and I cried with empathy. So kesian!!

Well, whoever wanna 'pinjam', you're most welcome. Buzz me la. It's an amazing reading!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Sabrina!

2007-09-21T22:35:00.000+08:00

My lil niece, Sabrina Tan celebrated her 2nd birthday last weekend. Her mummy & daddy (my brother) had a party for her at the Kidzone in Hartamas mall.

Time really flies as I still remember vividly like it was only yesterday she was a lil newborn. Exactly 2 years has passed, she has grown into this lil pretty darling sweet gal that all our family members and close friends dote upon.

It was a fun party afterall with children running around at the play area and face painting corner available for kids.

Kiss kiss and hugs from your Estee 'koh koh'.

Going Berserk!!!

2007-09-17T11:27:00.000+08:00

Sorry for the lack of updates. Reason?? Been pretty busy as my mum was in town and also hubby just got me a new lil gadget. HTC Touch Handphone. *click here*

Been toying with it day and nite. Figuring out how to operate this tiny lil complicated object till I'm in the midst of going crazy. I'm just useless in all this 'gadgety thingy'. Cracking my head into pieces. I'm still reading the manual book like I'm about to sit for an important exam tomorrow. Cialat!!

I've been a loyal fan of Nokia handphones for many years but hubby suggested that I should have a change. As how he put it. Everyday eat "char kuey teow" also sien la. Once in a while change and try "hokkien mee".

Help!!! I need help! 'Act-sy' wanna follow people use 'canggih' handphone but now so 'blur' like 'sotong'!!!. *scratch head* hahahahahahha.

Happy Birthday Zara!!

2007-09-10T11:29:00.000+08:00

Zara's Birthday Cake.

Timothy was invited to a birthday party. His lil best friend, Zachary's 4 year old sister Zara's birthday. It was held in Citron Restaurant Bangsar.

A wonderful princess fairy theme party. I like!!!! Basically everything was in pink. My favourite colour but not Timothy's, though. hahaha. But he had fun just hanging around with his best buddy and couple of his classmates. There were plenty of activities to entertain the kids.

We had a blast! It was a great party. Like what I always say, I simply loves birthday celebration. *smile*

Isn't she pretty in her fairy princess outfit???

18th Anniversary Tatler Ball

2007-09-09T21:10:00.000+08:00

It's the time of the year again where hubby and I attended the annual Malaysian Tatler Ball. A very grand affair held in Shangri-La Hotel KL last nite.

The ball has indeed managed to outdo itself year after year once again. The scene was set for perfection till the tiniest detail - from the beautiful ballroom, best champagne, exquisite course dinner, great music, flowers, cigars and to the luxury door gifts. Everything was impeccably attention to every detail.

There was no doubt, everyone was elaborately dressed as well. Men in their best tuxedos and ladies adorned in their finest. Everyone was just absolutely glamorous. As for this year, I wore a black gown designed and ensemble done by the famous local designer, Khoon Hooi *click here*. *wink*

To top it off, the night ended up with everyone on the dance floor. Again, hubby and I did not missed out the fun. My high heels did not stopped me from dancing the nite away.

One amazing nite for hubby and me to catch up with friends and also for new friends to be made, to relax and party. *cheers*

Hubby & me.

With Hot Mama Yvette.

With Sweetie Charlene .

With Charming Douglas.

Close Up

Timothy's Super Swing!!!

2007-08-30T23:54:00.000+08:00

Today, I followed daddy and Timothy to the club coz the weather was exceptionally pleasant after a heavy down pour.

To my surprise, Timothy' s coach, Aaron set up a video camera at the driving range with a note book connected to it. He wanted to film Timothy hitting the ball. Later showed him the clips to correct his mistake. What a smart way of teaching and inspiring him! At least my boy has an idea on how he appears while swinging. He was giggling away seeing himself hitting the ball. So cute!!

Lucky me, I had my pen drive in my handbag. Thus, I managed to download the video clips from his coach. I also got some shots from my camera and combine them together.

And Yes, a typical proud mummy moment again. Beaming with pride . I certainly think my 5 year old is so cool. *grin*

Really a chip of an old block.

A Whimsical Nite with the gals!!!

2007-08-29T03:25:00.000+08:00

Happy Birthday, Whimsical Cheryl!!

I just simply love birthdays. A special day when one is reminded of being a year older. *silly grin* And of cos, a year wiser also la.

A lil birthday celebration organised by Sweetie Pie Suzanne for Whimsical Cheryl. Glad to be part of it, gals. We had pizza for dinner in Larisata and later proceed next door to Vintry for wines. Cheers!! I'm glad you like the pressie as I also like it 'very the muchy.' *laugh*

I seriously had a great deal of fun. Basically chilling out. Laughing and talking nonsense. As much as I love being a parent, I do still enjoy hanging out with my friends. Let loose. Have a drink or two..... or more, Haha....to take the edge off.

Transformers.

2007-08-27T01:13:00.000+08:00

Timothy's Transformers Collection.

Timothy's latest craze is The Transformers. Basically anything concerns or involves Transformers, he will just go 'ga ga'. From the sound track of the movie to the animation cartoon series etc etc. Totally a big fan especially the character Optimus Prime.

All day, all nite...Transformers this, Transformers that.

So here he is as the 2 famous autobots. He was over the moon when daddy got him this 2 costumes.

My lil Optimus Prime.

Wedding in Cyberjaya.

2007-08-26T21:38:00.000+08:00

The Lovely Bride & Groom

Attended a really grand indian wedding dinner of my friends, Robbie and Venee in Cyberjaya Hotel last nite shortly after coming back from Singapore. Didn't have the chance for a breather once we got home. My maid unpacked while I jumped into the shower and got dressed up.

Timothy didn't come with us as children were not allowed apparently. The bride used to be my primary classmate from Sungai Petani while the groom is hubby's ex-collegemate in KL. What a coincidence!

We had a good time. Ended up on the dance floor by the end of the evening when the whole ballroom transformed into a discotheque. Daddy & mummy were bogeying away. It's been a while since we dance. Luckily did not sprained my legs. hahaha. Don't play play. I was wearing my 4 1/2 inch heels OK. Champion!!! *muahaha*

Group Shot.

Trip To Singapore

2007-08-25T15:36:00.000+08:00

Just got back from a short lil 4days 3nites trip in Singapore. We stayed at The Grand Hyatt Hotel. Daddy booked a big comfy room on the executive floor whereby complimentary drinks/snacks were served 24 hours at the designated lounge.

Brought Timothy to Sentosa Island for the popular luge ride (recommended by my sis Theng. Thks!!), dolphin show and underwater world. Daddy bought some golf clubs and as for mummy, shop till I drop la. Hehehe.

Gwen Stefani is in town!!!

2007-08-22T14:25:00.000+08:00

I wish I have front row tickets for her concert. *sigh* *dreaming*

I can't get this song out of my head. It's just simply mesmerising and addictive. Even my lil boy knows how to sing the chorus and hum to the tune. My all time favourite for now. *wink*

4 In The Morning

Waking up to find another day
The moon got lost again last night
But now the sun has finally had it’s say
I guess I feel alright
But it hurts when I think, when I let it sink in
It’s all over me
I know you’re here, in the dark
I’m watchin you sleep, it hurts a lot

[Bridge]
And all I know is you’ve got to give me everything
And nothing less cuz you know I’d give you all of me

[Chorus]
I’d give you everything that I am I’m handin over everything that I’ve got
Cause I wanna have a really true love
Don’t ever wanna have to go and give you up
Stay up till four in the morning and the tears are pouring
And I wanna make it worth the fight
What have we been doing for all this time
Baby if we’re gonna do it come and do it right

All I wanted was to know (I'm safe)
Don’t wanna lose the love I found
Remember when you said that you would change
Don’t let me down
It’s not fair, how you are
I can’t be complete, can you give me more

[Bridge]
[Chorus]

Oh please, you know what I need
Save all your lovin for me
We can’t escape the love
With everything that you have

[Bridge]
[Chorus]

Two lil Pirates.

2007-08-21T01:40:00.000+08:00

My mum, sis Theng & nephew Jordon were in town for the school holidays. It was such a fun weekend as another 2 of Timothy's cousins, Ai Lyn & Eugene came to stay over night as well. As you can imagine, 4 hyper-kids playing together. My house end up looking like a warzone. hahaha. They were playing and the next minute fighting or arguing. The best of cousins again after that. Really the cialat!! hahaha.

The weekend were packed with so many activities. One of the highlights was to a theme birthday party on Saturday. I dropped my sis off to KLCC for shopping and brought Timothy and my 7 years old nephew Jordon to Aerin's Tinkerbell Party held in Equatorial Hotel KL.

The 2 boys totally had an awesome time dressing up as pirates. Girls came dressed in their fairy best and boys in their pirates best. The whole ensemble of their costume were put together by my sis and moi. Not bad huh!!! ahem..ahem.

The 2 lil Pirates. Aren't they cute???? *wink*

2007-08-15T14:46:00.000+08:00

I threw a lil gathering at home yesterday. Hubby invited one of his ex-college mate, Lee Yen who is now residing in San Diego, US. She's back in town and brought her son, Aidan along. Hubby & his friends were reminiscing the old days while Timothy and Aidan were having lotsa fun.

The boys got on very well. Played happily together and literally tore the house down. hehehe.

Spidermen??? On the left, Timothy. Right, Aidan.

Another Fullmoon Party

2007-08-12T23:36:00.000+08:00

Another newborn baby boy by the name of Kayden (This one starts with a 'K'). Baby is exceptionally cute as he was so alert. Eyes wide open checking his whole surroundings. The lil party was held in their beautiful mansion. Timothy met a new found friend there and both of them had a good time playing and running around la. Daddy & mummy were happy mingling around, savouring the delicious indian buffet spread. Yum!! (I love indian food) Oh Yes!! My favourite bubbly was being served too. Cheers!!!

Congratulations on your new born, Meera and John!!

Hot Mama & Baby Kayden

For with a blink of an eye, time

Wedding in Sunway

2007-08-11T23:58:00.000+08:00

My handsome boy.

Attended a relative's wedding in Sunway Hotel. It sure makes hubby sound pretty old by saying that the groom is his nephew. Well, it's not, though. The 'Soo's' family is huge and it's really complicated. You wouldn't be interested, believe me! *eyes roll up* hehehe.

My schedule is gonna be pack with two more weddings next week. It's fun now as we can take Timothy along with us. Unlike last time, when he was much younger, he used to fuss alot and we could not enjoy our dinner or mingle around. Therefore, we had to leave him at home.

But now, it's totally a different story whereby he sits down with us. Enjoy his dinner. Behave really well. And when mummy and daddy introduce him to friends and relatives, he would utter out clearly "Hello Auntie/Uncle. Give a firm handshake and smile. So good boy, rite!!!

My good boy and Mummy.

Timothy posing with his cousin, Jessica.

Peace sign from Timothy accompanied by his Ye Ye & Ma Ma.

So Long, Farewell.

2007-08-11T15:55:00.000+08:00

So long, farewell, my 'Rav-fy'. You've been good to me and had never ever let me down for the past 4 1/2 years.

Eventhough, I know you're in good hands but my heartaches when I had to finally let you go in such short notice.

Being a sentimental fool I am, with a heavy heart I bid a silent good bye. *tears* Will deeply miss you. Sob...sob...sob. :(

My Beloved Rav4. Bye-Bye. Miss u!! :(

A lil note to daddy:-

Thank you for the surprise again!!! *wink* You're the sweetest. I loved it!!! Vroom...vroom. Vely the powderful la....hehehe.

TV3 Kids

2007-08-10T22:18:00.000+08:00

My Patriotic Boy

TV3 Kids Channel crew came to Timothy's art school and shot a programme of the children having fun while painting and doing art & crafts for the coming Merdeka Day. Of coz, my boy was selected by his art teacher to participate in the shooting. Mummy 'kay-poh' asked permission to take a peek for a lil while. Managed to snap some shots while they were filming.

Timothy was being interviewed.

Timothy: "I know...I know the answer. Me...me...me."

They were asked to wave their lil flag they had made earlier and shout out "We Love M'sia."

Timothy with his dedicated art teachers.

Rainy Day

2007-08-09T01:11:00.000+08:00

Looking at your loved one lying helplessly, makes your heartaches. I wish I have a magic wand, wave it in the air. *tink tink* Make the pain go away............

Looking at her laying on the yet not so very comfortable hospital bed. Her face pale. Tubes protruding out from her lean fragile wrist but well manicured nails, makes me weak and so sad. *tears*

Get well soon, sis.

Happy Fullmoon

2007-08-08T10:59:00.000+08:00

The proud parents of baby Cayden & Timothy's Mummy

Holding a newborn in my arms is such an amazing feeling. It brought back sweet memories. It seems like only yesterday Timothy was this small. My boy is growing so fast. In a blink he's 5 years old. I wish sometimes the clock would stop and he'll forever be my lil baby still. So selfish, rite??!! hehehe.

Baby is truly a bundle of joy. A GOD's gift. Wishing the proud parents of Baby Cayden happiness and joy always. Congratulations on your baby boy again!!! *smile*

Timothy and I had fun yesterday afternoon. It was a lovely fullmoon party held at 1920 restaurant Curve.

Art Corner

2007-08-03T15:12:00.000+08:00

Timothy's Latest Art & Craft. Decorative wooden pegs.

If I may say so myself, Timothy definitely got his artistic side from mummy.*grin* Definitely not from daddy. I love to paint especially oil painting. It's one of my hobbies but I've since stopped for about 3 years.

I recently start to feel inspired to get the ball rolling again. My art teacher, Apollo (Ya!, same name like Apollo the astronaut hehehe) was disappointed I chose to discontinue this hidden talent of mine due to my plain laziness. Yikes!!

Well, I'm planning to surprise him very soon and do some serious painting again. Who knows, maybe in future hold an exhibition of all my masterpiece. hehehehehe. Like real!! Dreaming only mah.*wink*

Some of my masterpiece hanging on the wall:-

Oriental Bouquet.

Flowers of Love.

Fruitful.

2007-07-28T21:57:00.000+08:00

The Stage

I was invited to celebrate the opening of the 1st Jimmy Choo Boutique in Malaysia yesterday. It was held in the ballroom of Mandarin Oriental Hotel and was extremely a grand affair.

The night were nothing less than glamorous. Packed with everyone dress to kill in their Jimmy's, of course. One of my favourite bubbly champagne ( Moet & Chandon) were flowing through out the night. Cheers!!! The fashion show was hot as they previewed the pre-Fall Collections. The vibe of the evening were absolutely perfect with great friends!!!

Fabulous Camilia, Gorgeous Ai Ling & Timothy's Mummy Estee. hehehe.

Sweet Loving Azee & me.

Gals Nite out in Banquet

2007-07-26T23:38:00.000+08:00

We were gathered again for dinner and drinks in Banquet (my favourite restaurant). A lil occasion, a belated birthday dinner treat from me to my sis. As always la, we had a blast catching up and of course, the food was wonderful.

Posing for mummy.

A lil up date on Timothy's golf game. I followed Timothy & Daddy to the club on the weekend again. Met Timothy's new coach, Aaron as his last coach has moved to China. I'm glad Timothy switched easily from one to another. No problem.

He was practising his bunker shots and putting. Mummy was busy snapping pictures. Glowing with pride while looking at my boy. *big smile*

Bunker Shot.

Practising his putting. Coach/caddy on the left. hehehe

The Banquet

2007-07-24T10:05:00.000+08:00

Ben the Chef & moi'

My favourite hang out place at the moment is this restaurant called 'Banquet'. It's located in Bangsar Village 2. A posh sophisticated lil place with comfortable white wicker chairs and a striking crystal chandelier that serves our familiar home-styled hawker fare.

I was recommended by a friend of mine to try out the food and from then on I was hooked like a fish to a bait. Hahaha. I jokingly told the chef, he has vodoo the dishes as I kept coming back for more.

My all time favourite dishes are their mee jawa, prawn noodles, kuey teow soup and wild rocket salad. Oh Yes! Our authentical asam laksa from Kedah as well. Yum Yum!!! Will be going there again to satisfy my hunger later. *wink*

Shoe Fetish

2007-07-23T18:23:00.000+08:00

Like any other gal, I love my shoes very much. I have a fetish for shoes and a whole collection of 'beautiful' shoes. I love my shoesssssss until I'd rather take them off, walk bare foot if there's a muddy path. That's how bad I can go all out. hahaha.

Before I had Timothy, I'm almost always tottering in heels. The higher the better. hehehe. After Timothy came along, my most reliable 'best comfy shoes' were my Birkenstocks sandals *click here*. And still is. I also collect them in colours I like. *smile*

Eventhough, Timothy is a big boy now I still fancy wearing my comfy Birkenstocks. It is definitely the best sandal ever created and made. But my first and true love is still my beloved sexy fabulous shoes which are continuously adding up. I'm addicted to it. Very the "cialat" one. I do get to wear them when I'm out for functions and that makes me feel on top of the world.

Shallow and materialistic I may sound when everytime hubby purchase an additional pair for my collection. I'll be the most happiest gal in the whole wide world. Consume with happiness till words cannot describe. *Jumping up and down like a crazy woman la* hahahahahahaha Here are some of the brand name that I have proudly collected and are sitting perfectly in my shoe cabinet. Sergio Rossi (my all time favourite & I have couple of them *wink*), Giuseppe Zanotti, Ernesto Esposit, Allessandro Dell' Acqua, Les Prairies Le Paris, Salvatore Ferragamo, Stuart Weitzman, Bruno Magli Couture, TODs, Prada, Calvin Klein, Beverly Feldman and Gucci.

My current obsession and hopefully future purchase will be a pair of shinning bling bling by Rene Caovilla which I have been eyeing. Definitely a pair of Jimmy Choo 'Couture' as Dato' Jimmy Choo now only concentrate on his effort on his Couture footwear. (If you're a shoe fanatic like me, I reckon you know what's going on and the difference with Jimmy Choo London & Jimmy Choo Couture) I also have my eyes on a pair of 5 inch delicate sexy skinny stiletto by Manola Blanhnik. Hope my hubby is reading all this la. hehehehehe. *wink*

Shoe is one of my favourite things among my many more favourite things. muaha ha ha ha.

My very recent extravagant buy again.

Couldn't resist the fabulous blue. My Jimmy Choo London *click here*.

A white loafers from Tods. They're so comfy too.

My Lil Niece Again

2007-07-22T20:30:00.000+08:00

Sabrina Tan

My cute lil niece came over with 'mama' the other day. Timothy brought out his cooking toys set and Sabrina started cooking a storm. hehehe. To me, she is the CUTEST baby gal in the whole wide world. :D

Timothy acted like a big 'koko' and helped in taking care of her too. He adores her. Showered her with kisses & hugs every single 5 mins. *laugh* Timothy literally told me "Mummy, I want a baby sister!!!." Yikes! Mummy pretended not to hear anything and walked off. Ha!!

Engross cooking.

Another Fun Weekend.

2007-07-17T13:16:00.000+08:00

Daddy, Timothy and I had a back to back activity on the weekend. From dinner with friends in my favourite japanese restaurant to karaoke and followed by a fun birthday party the next day. Pictures for your viewing pleasure as follows:-

Timothy is getting into the groove of snapping pictures. His lil hands are steady and he's able to focus properly instead of taking headless shots of everyone. hehehe. He takes pretty cool pics now. Thus, he was very adamant to hold on my digital camera on our dinner outing. Taking pics of everything and anything. My lil cute camera boy. *wink*

Here are some shots taken by Timothy:-

He snap a pic of himself.

The Next Following Day....

Timothy was invited to a Birthday Party by his school friend, Tia. It was a wet party with paddling pool and wet games. Timothy had so much fun. It was such a lovely party where the kids were playing in the garden and the adults mingling around drinking sangria and beer. We had a swell time. What a fun weekend!!

Fooling around in the paddle pool with Tala..

Lining up for their water balloons and a balloon fight later.

Patiently queing up for a con of ice-cream.

Swimming Progress.

2007-07-16T15:08:00.000+08:00

A lil up-date on Timothy's progress in swimming. I certainly thinks that my boy is swimming like a baby fish. hehehe. He has mastered the breast stroke and in the midst of defining his free style.

As always, Timothy has a ton of fun when it's swimming lesson time every saturday. He gets along really well with his coach, Daniel. A dedicated teacher (with a great tanned body also laaa *wink wink*) who gives Timothy a great deal of attention. Daddy is very jealous of his six packs mascular body. He claimed that his body is much nicer cos he has a 1 big pack. I almost choked!!! hahaha.

Look at his moves. Swimming all out.

Listen intensely to his coach.

Swimimng solo. Well done!!!

A Trip To Penang

2007-07-11T13:00:00.000+08:00

Went to Penang for a wedding on the weekend. What an adventure we had!

To summarize everything up. We drove to Penang. Our car broke down. Ha! Exactly at the congested traffic light in Green Lane. We were stranded along the road before the mechanic came to the rescue. Were then squeezed in his lil car with our luggages and off we were driven to our hotel. G Hotel *click here*. Our car was towed away. Got to do with no car for that couple of days. Only transportation was the hotel limousine. Attended my friend's wedding in E&O Hotel Penang. Had a fun time catching up with my Penangites friends. That was the only highlight of the trip beside going 'makan' also la, of course. Lastly, the bill for the car repair cost a bomb. A very costly weekend trip as what hubby emphasized. Hehehe.

Transformers

My lil Transformer. Optimus Prime.

Watched the movie with daddy and Timothy in Gold Class, GSC 1 Utama last week. Only a word to comment about the movie. AWESOME!!!! *Thumbs up* I came out from the cinema feeling like an autobot. hahaha!! *Walking with stomping sound with my boy*

Timothy's favourite no doubt is Optimus Prime. As for me, I adore Bumblebee (I even like the name) and Daddy likes Megatron & also Mikaela the sexy heroin la. Man!!!

Optimus Prime. The leader of the Autobots.

Timothy always asked me whether he can keep a pet at home but I never allowed it cos I think he's still too young to hold responsibility taking care of any animals yet. He wants a dog. A BIG ONE and as for me, I would like to have a small lil doggy. But staying in a condo, it's definitely not condusive to keep a dog. *sad*

So very often hubby and I would take Timothy to my in-laws to play with 3 big labradors. Timothy's favourite is Nigel. Wherever Timothy goes, Nigel will just follow him. Even to the toilet at one time. Timothy screamed "Mummy, Nigel wanna see my 'kuku'. GET OUT NIGELl! Cannot see. Shame shame. Naughty dog." Hehehe.

How Vain Are You?

I am being tagged for the 1st time by Whoisbaby, Anna *click here*. I am excited! I think this is a very easy subject for me. To come up with 7 vanity senses fact about myself??!!! Peanuts la. I can even write up till 20. hahaha.

I did the Vanity Quiz of "HOW VAIN ARE YOU?" *click here* (Please try it out. It's fun) And here are my results. Really cialat la. "Pai-seh ah"!!!

You Are 76% Vain
You're a little vain, but you also work hard for your good looks.Just remember, everyone knows you are a total hottie. You don't have to remind them.

My 7 Vanity Senses Fact :-

I wore braces to rectify my 'not so' straight teeth for about one and a half year recently at my early 30's. Just took it out couple of months ago. Did whitening on my teeth as well. My next step, maybe....veneers!!!

Every alternate days, I go to the hair salon ( ground floor of my condo) to wash and blow dry my hair. Sometimes set it into curls. I only washes my own hair after going to gym or my power walk in Kiara. The next following day, I go down for styling. I go to a profesional to trim my hair every 2 month and every month, I do a hair treatment. It's a "MUST"!!!

I go for my manicure and pedicure every 2 weeks. A Spa treatment on mani & pedi every month. Repaint my nails colour every week. I can't bear to go out with unmanicure nails.

If I shower 4 times a day, I shall put on my body cream 4 times too. Or else I feel like a dried prune.

I love putting on make-up. I love to buy cosmetic products. I have about 50 lipsticks and multi-colours of eye shadows and etc etc. But I never ever wear make-up to sleep. It's a NO...NO...NO! Always cleanse twice, toner and moisturize. Not forgetting, exfoliate every 2-3 days as well.

I love to dress up. I love buying clothes & shoesssssss especially my favourite brands. *wink*

I must have a body massage at least once a month to release tension. A masseur will come to my home and work magic on me. Ahhhhh!!!

Well, I can go on somemore, you know. hehehehe. Hope I don't scare you all away. I consider myself very vain. My hubby and close friends also think so as well. Yikes!!!
