New Bedroom Design

 

Carmen has got her new bedroom! We intend to let her sleep separately from us, wanting her to be independent. I think at the age of 3, we have to start train her. I make her excited by buying her come new furnitures and do a bit of simple decorations for her to create her excitement, by sleeping on her own.

The way she responded to us is very positive, she want it very much to stay in her new room. But unfortunately, she was sick, so we bring her back to our room to stay with us until she is okay. So, when she is alright, we take her to her room, and she insisted that i sleep with her. So, again, the initial plan was spoils again.  So i suggested to Carmen that i will sleep with her, and telling her the truth, that i will leave the room when she asleep. Now, the second attempt also failed!

Now, she use her room to study only. And whenever visitors come to our house, she will borrow her room the others, asking them to take care of the room and not to dirty the room. She will frequent the room for inspection. I've got some wall stickers decorations for her, which myself like it very much! Hubby, me and Carmen spend a few hours just to paste a few sets of stickers in her room.

Our Guangzhou Vacation 13.10.2010 ~ 19.10.2010












































We are back from Guangzhou! This is my 3rd time in Guangzhou, yet still very excited. I could conclude that this trip are mend for eating & shopping. Luckily Carmen considered behaved well throughout the journey. We went Guangzhou in a group of 6 person inclusive myself & Carmen, both my parents, and my sister's parents in-laws in couple. Carmen & myself were the youngest in the group!

We visited our relatives on my mom's side in Dongguan, and my dad's side in Renhe. These 2 places really extreme. Dongguan is like metropolitan, while Renhe is a village area. We met our relatives from Malaysia coincidentally, as my uncle & wife and also my cousin also going Dongguan. We met there, and we arranged for a day trip together to a place called Zhongqing, nearby Renhe. So we get off from there to visit my dad's ancestors village and the house, currently belonging to my dad!

It's not a nice house as you think, but it's have some valuable history in the past, the great thing were my grandparents went back to the house previously and they took our pictures of me, my elder brother and my elder sister to place in the house previously before they passed away. The pictures still hanging nicely in the house as i snap a picture of it as remembrance.

The shopping was marvelous! The summer just passed, now most of the shops were trying to clear summer stocks, we have got a lot of good bargain too! I bought some new clothing and shoes for myself, Carmen & Jeanne. i didn't buy Hubby do not have anything, as he is very choosy in clothing nowadays. It was a great trip that i can conclude. I wish i can have another trip to Guangzhou again in the future, and i am sure i will be back again to Guangzhou!

A Day Up The Hill 07.08.2010



Our past weekend was fun, it wasn't our initial plan earlier at all to travel to Cameron Highlands in the first place. Up we went the hill from Ipoh, accessing the new highway from Simpang Pulai all the way up reaching on top of the hill in one and  a half hour. My parents  wont be around Ipoh, my in-laws were too busy, need to work on the weekend, not free to entertain us. So we went up the hill on impulse.

We woke up for breakfast, then both girls have their hair cut, while i have my hair washed, and then we all bathed ourselves clean, and off we went up the hill! Our first stop over was at our favorite restaurant for a lunch, called "Ngau (Cow) Kee".We can feel that both our little girls enjoying themselves very much at the garden playground visit, after our shopping spree at the market for the vegetables and fruits purchased as gifts for friends. While our little angels busy having fun, myself quickly taking some private time having snacks. Glad that both of them enjoying their free time at the park.

I am sick - Blessed with a Homecooked Dinner which i longed for!

It's my own home-cooked meal, a satisfying meal! Yummy!!!!

It has been a long time that i didn't cook. Lately always get sick, maybe staying indoor in office with no sweat makes me feel sick often, compared to down to the field visiting customers. Yet, i enjoy staying at home even though i am sick, taking this chance to cleared off all my household chores, pending. I think  24 hours a day not enough for me lately.

Even though the food are so simple, but, there are all my favorites. The Japanese cup is the herbal tea i boiled for the family to reduce heat in the body. Lately the weather has been extremely hot. I never though that Carmen  like the mini salted fish so much! She keeps on asking me to cook after that day onwards!

Dinner at The Same Restaurant


 10.07.2010 : Having dinner with Carmen & Jeanne together with my in-laws & relatives
 
12.07.2010 : The dishes that we have it today!

02.08.2010 : What's new today?

We have been not been visiting this dining place nearby our house for quite a while. The restaurant is strategically located by the riverside mouth, connecting to the sea, accompanied by a few sampans floating beside, underneath the wooden platform of the restaurant's flooring. Some small gaps of the wooden platform enables us to peep through the flooring into the water directly, giving us a glace of the muddy river, and if we are fortunate enough,might see some small fishes playing in the water. With mangroves along the sidelines making this scenic view a pleasure for diners overviewing the connecting bridge across the river. 

This restaurant is one of the famous seafood restaurant in Klang. Since the food served was so nice, we decided to have our dinner at the same restaurant a few times at a near date. Desperate to taste the food again to satisfy our own taste buds, where Carmen only share a little portion of the food, maybe not even a bite of each of the dishes. Her consumption depends on her mood. If she does not want to eat, i will not force her, i do not want her to vomit in front of me. I will instead feed her milk after the dinner at home.
