Moved in with le bf in April. The house is a double storey low cost terrace house, so we don't have a back door, literally. You imagine the usual terrace house, then that usual terrace house is cut in half, and the back door of that usual terrace house is the front door of another house. Macam townhouse but we're connected back-to-back not upstairs-and-downstairs lah. Anyway, you don't care, so let's move on. We stay at Bertam area of Kepala Batas, which has a LOT of Taman. The area is quiet me like-y. One of the best thing about this move is that, le bf opens a furniture store, so our house was furnished pretty quickly with supplier-priced furnitures haha! And the quality is good too yay! However, the down side about low cost housing is that, the flooring is cement floor. You know, like the floor in your classroom. My tolerance of things is quite high but not this one. The thing about cement floor is that, no matter how many times you mop the floor, it fee...

小心大树倒下啊!!

PS:够力咯什么都想写双语版 -_- 我以为自己短暂的回乡之旅会是公式化平淡无奇,哪里知道!! 回个两天一夜,为了表妹的婚礼和“顺便” =P 星期六,天气炎热。娘和我回kampung乡下探望婆婆 - 例行公事。 进入家里前路过果园时,娘指了指榴莲树说:“你看,开始结果了也!七八月应该可以吃了!叫有宏来吃啦!” “噢!”

I thought my short trip back to KB would be a dull everything-is-according-to-plan one, but OH BOY am I wrong!! Hot sunny Saturday, me and mom went back to kampung to visit grandma, a usual trip. Mom has been telling me about we are entering the durian and mangosteen season, and she asked me to invite Hon for a durian feast (which he is very looking forward too!). On the way entering the house, mom pointed the durian trees at the orchard by the house, "See?? There's durian on the tree already!"

Hometown Stuff

 Balik-ed Kampung last weekend for my godson Loke's birthday*, and some other stuff. *Loke's grandparents and aunties (who I am close with too) were surprised I showed up, so give face~ His mother has been asking me about it two months ago, how can I not give face leh!? As usual, dad came over to accompany back. During our way back, check this out! Look!!!  That poor fella was stuck at the wiper!! I was bored when I noticed something flapping on the windshield, and I took a close look at it - it's a butterfly!!! Since we were on the hilly road, there's no way we gonna stop to release it; at that point I thought it's dead! Oh hell no, it was so much alive when we stopped for fuel refill, I was so scared of releasing it because it flapped its wings! Ewww~ Finally it freed itself and flew away~ Frustrated stuff : If any of you is kind enough to take note of my FB status, you would know that I've been in deep shit frustration about my 3G mo dem + wi ...

悲喜交加的回家心情

这趟回家是为了小宝贝干儿子林沅乐的一岁生日派对。毕竟他娘早在几个月前就跟我说了,还不出席的话真的是找死啊~~~ As usual,咱爹又千里迢迢地去加央陪我驾车回家。我当然可以骗他说我是有伴陪我回酱他就甭山长水远跑来 ,又不是没骗过,可是....算了懒得解释。就当我是Daddy's girl吧~ 回家路上,看到这个!! 让我尖叫一番!  竟然有只蝴蝶卡在我的wiper中...当我以为它已经被强风憋得毙命,车停下来添油时我尝试‘移动’它,翅膀还动着!!有一轮尖叫...   悲: 回去四五天,我就花了四五天弄我那些天杀的网络咚咚。 Subscribe了个broadband配套,买了个TP Link MR3040 3G Wireless Router。 说来奇妙,那些 咚咚,虽然在加央时操作也不见得很好,可是一回到家,什么都不能用 !!连电话要用家里的无限上网都上不到!!! 那几天,我坐着的那个角落堆积着千斤重的 叹气和怨恨声... 作么会酱咧!? FYI: 终于 在今天(3/11/2012)解决了问题 !!! 其实只是改了个transmission mode的setting ,因为 Noob如我不知道B,G,N是什么东西,选了 BGN mixed ,结果就不了了之了... 喜 一 : 主角登场!  p/s:我没拍到什么照片,因为大多数是她们的亲戚 ,我不认识,害羞~~~ 生日派对办在星期五他们家。主人准备了好多东西啊!!   话说那粒蛋糕花了父母不少钱呢~~ 一岁的林沅乐 , 会爬, 已经可以原地站起来,还不敢走路 ,很爱爬楼梯!! 我这干娘做得实在很敷衍,找不到什么适当的礼物,惟有包个小红包祝他快高长大! 那戴着手表的手是我滴 ^^ 喜二: 莫过于吾家小女皇黄智菱咯~~~   话说这位小肥虽然只有四个月 要进 五个月大,可是她的体型可不是那回事啊~ 这位小肥已经接近超重边缘了!! 虽然大个子娃娃抱起来比较不怕会折断她的小手小脚,可是也因为她大个子,抱没两下就肌肉酸痛了啊~~~而且她还不会坐,基本上这个大娃娃就只能躺着或翻身一下子...整个小麻烦一个~~ p/s:吾娘也说,现在她比较情愿照顾奶奶,至少可以把奶奶放在家...

Shir-'B'-Lyn: The Ultimate Challenge

Argh~ How do I start about her~ This girl has grown since the last time I saw her, and it's like... a month ago? She was awake when I arrived at her place (Kebakat, Wakaf Bharu), and we took her out for a short ride. Car ride! During the weekdays/working days, she comes over to our place for the sake of her feeding (she kinda refuses formulated milks and keen of breast milk recently...) and my sister's convenience. THAT's when I finally get a taste of Lim Tino's nanny experience... -__- Sleep: I must say, this little fellow has a lot of 'patterns' when she fell asleep. I'm not sure if all the babies do that, but she is one of the best sleeping posers I have ever met... especially the hands. Boxing style I sleep.... passionately... See what I mean? She tends to flip to one side, and her hands get busy. However, that's when she's the cutest, because when she's awake, her mood is so unpredictable, and she cries her lungs out, literally break my he...

Festive Season & Traffic

Last minute decision to go back KB because Jasmine was going back too! Haven't see the BFF-of-my-life for 2 years... Since it's a last minute decision, and it's not 'my' festive celebration, I drove back on the first day of Raya, along with dad (yes, he came to Perlis and we went back together. 不孝女) and M&M. Although the road is clear of traffic (especially zero lorry on the Grik road!! *joy to the world*) , the 'outsiders' cars drive us nuts! I have been experiencing that a week before Raya in Perlis, and now all the way back to KB!! During times like this, people rushing in their hometown from all over the places - the 'balik kampung' spirit, so there's a lot of 'outstation' car plates to be spotted. AND, the nightmare is, they seem to be NOT back to their kampung for some time, they OBVIOUSLY don't know the way. Not sure which junctions to take, don't know which lorong to go into, clueless of which way to go. ...

回家

Image
又要写一篇不是很新的部落文了... 上个星期回家一趟,因为要立外公外婆的墓碑。 询问了‘专家’。他说十八号是好时好日! 天赦时天赦日! 所谓天赦,就是你那时跟‘上面的’祈求任何事物,祂都会approve! 只是,改天再跟你算! (这就是为什么我欣赏这种礼教-祂不会完全赦免,只是收着以后跟你算!) 每交一次新朋友,他们都‘有幸’见识到我那 可爱的爸爸 。 因为这次,他又长途跋涉地过来陪我驾车回家。 要说我不孝就尽管说吧,反正我的爸爸就是这么伟大这么可爱。 去找了我的麻吉和见见我可爱的干儿子乐乐。 也天才地忘了做一件事:跟可爱干儿子拍照!! -_- 麻吉做了一大盘丰富午餐: ^很多料啊~~肚子饿了没? 干儿子乐乐太可爱了,一直笑一直笑,一脸喜洋洋的。 也见识了他惊天动地的哭声。宏亮到~~~丹田很赞噢 :p 希望我的未来小外甥也是个喜洋洋的小宝贝 :) 向各位关心的朋友们报告一下:我的大姐很好 :) 她是个超级无敌坚强的大女人! 好喜欢摸她的肚子。 亲家母也有提议我到他们家过夜,让他们家热闹热闹一点。 只是我呆的时间太短,不然肯定睡那里的。 伤痛总会有的,可是Life has to go on... 立墓碑当天,娘也买了个‘未来的家’给自己和爹。 我和妹确实有点乍舌。 我更错愕,以为是自己多嘴乱提议。 还好爹娘反应良好。 不久两老就要退休了。 我们每每问到退休后要做什么,两老都说: “在家里吵架咯~” -________________- 真是对不想让女儿回家静心的两老啊~ 就酱! :)

Balik Kampung + 摆乌龙!!

Image
Balik-ed kampung last weekend since I haven't been home for quite some time (since Ah Kong's funeral on early Oct!! That is so 'long' time ago...) . I mean, it was few long weekends but I wasn't be able to go back... Well, the main reason was... ... ... ^...for this little fella lah!! This is my dear little kai zai aka Godson, my deary friend Min Shin's son. He was born on 23rd Oct midnight. This little fellow is predicted to be quite some pain in his parents' a$$es because Min Shin suffered from labour pain for 4 DAYS just to wait for him to come out!! Anyway, according to the mother, the pain wasn't that suffering, it's the waiting part that frustrated both she and her hubby, as well as their families. ^Bundle of joy~ ^^ Promised a cross stitch pillow cover for little kai zai but I wasn't able to finish it on time (promised to deliver by his full moon) . Break promise to a baby, I shall rot in hell I guess... I wasn't dare to carry him t...

New Furkids In Da House

Image
Went back home last weekend to settle my scholarship stuff. I was given 14 days to settle medical checkup, guarantor and witnesses for the agreement, this and that. Phew~ Last Saturday was the treatment session for asthma in grannie's house, mom assigned me to help on the desk job. Cousin's girlfriend brought two fluffy puppies as a stray bitch gave birth to 8 puppies at her house. I immediately fall in love with them!! ^Keeping themselves comfortable since no one's there to play and response to their tantrum The yellow patch is a female and the black patch is male. It's cute to see how they love to rest their head on the loop and how they love to lift their neck to long up. After negotiating with mom, aunt and cousin, since everyone's hand are tight to keep the puppies and all our dogs were dead :( , we decided to bring them home. The first night was a bliss. They did whine and cry here and there, but settled down quick enough. We guess it's because they have e...

It Goes 'Churp Churp'

Image
I was watering landlady's plants (I am such a darling tenant loh~) when I heard a loud churp churps going on and on around the plants. I looked ups and downs for any possibilities I might find a nest around the hollow place at the awning, near the door etc, until I found a stash of hay/dry grass on one of the thin and tall bamboo-like plant. Then I tried to move away the branches to get a closer look at it, until I spotted a door-like entrance and the nest... ^The white thing within all the leaves and dry grass is beak of a bird inside the nest!! I wasn't sure if the bird was dead or what as it stayed there very very still throughout my inspection. I guess it just be very very alert and stern against predator. When I was moving the branches around to get even closer looks, I could see little wings wiggling around!! Cuteness~ I must say, the bird parents must be a really great architects as the nest is built on a very high ground and between the look-like very fr...

Home Sweeet Home

The initial plan was to come back from Perlis today, but since I 'foresee' the bundle of housework that mom would be happy to have extra hands in the house, so OK la, going back on Sunday as a god obedient daughter Ahem... Aunty landlady is quite a good decorator. Her CNY decoration on the house is nice~ Paiseh nah pictures taken at night for the nice light effects, but I have low quality camera... ^Two bright red lanterns and rolls of ingots lamp ^Firecrackers-like bulbs and running lights on tree Thanks to Aunty, I can 'slightly' feel the spirit of coming CNY since the town is quiet as it always is and I spent very few times at the local Chinese market. Drove home with 2 clustermates at 9am. ^Breakfast. RM3! 3 huge ass prawns!! Envy me please! I must admit I did drive over the speed limit in most of the place despite the rather bad weather. Anyway, I found that one of the accident occurrence possibility is 'unintentionally' because of the Police's OPS sika...

Cousin Chun Gor's Wedding

Image
My cousin, Tan Wei Chun, or we call him Chun Gor, was married on the first weekend of June. It was initially a predetermined and confirmed plan (on my side), after finished everything in the Uni, going back, plans for the following weeks and month while waiting for the final semester result and the reply of the Master's applications to come out. Then, suddenly, the topup course issue surfaced. So the plan was partially jammed. Luckily, I insisted on going back too. Haha. Anyway, back to the story. The '出门' was on Friday morning. We were told to be at the grandpa's place at 7am, and luckily we didn't, because the 新娘车 would only depart at 10am. Bloody.... ^Us in front of the room ^新娘车 ^Heng-Dais... It was quite a chaos at our place. Too many people with too many 'their own' rules and regulations and traditions really didn't help much in this kind of situation at all. Headache. Even me, the innocent not-so-related-and-definitely-not-VIP person also coul...
