(actual conversation was in Malay)

Attendant:  You looks beautiful every morning.

*blushing*

Me:  So you mean I don’t look beautiful in the afternoon?

*I was still blushing and never listen to what he was talking as I was still in the mid of rounding up the Dollar*

Attendant:  Oh, that is a large keloid on…

*suddenly I felt cold water trickling down to my feet.  I look down.*

Me:  Oh Shit! Oh Shit! (Over flowed tank!)

*I was cursing silently at the faulty pump as lever was supposed to jump right?*

I grab my credit card receipt from the machine and before entering my car, I growl at him, “NEXT TIME DON’T TALK TO ME!”

I heard him laughing and another female attendant was clapping her hands.   I was still blushing and can’t wait to get rid of the petrol smell from my feet while continue my journey to the office.  What a morning.

When I return from my Beijing trip, I can’t keep my mind off that gorgeous messy copper head actor.  I hit Google searching for information I have on Robert Pattison or better known as Edward Cullen and stumble upon a Twilight fan fiction site that has so many author wannabe making up stories using the character from Twilight.  I was really hook on the fiction stories than Twilight itself.

You don’t know how much Edward has make me into.

Eh, wait…..  I don’t think you will want to hear how I romance Edward right?  If you are a big fan of romance novel, this is one of my recommendation.  Go read Holding Out For You.  This is the story about Edward Cullen (with 2 kids) who lost his wife in an automobile accident, met with Bella Swan(with a son) a divorcee.  They fell in love but things was not easy especially with Elizabeth (Edward’s daughter) who thinks that Bella is trying to replace her mother.  I must warned that this is not child friendly reading material.  Lots of lemon and angst but it also makes me weep buckets.  If you are up for some online reading material, do check them out.

I know I’m married but no rules say I can’t have little crushes over an actor right?  *wink*

p/s:  I thought I should make things clear here for the Hubby as he was getting a bit suspicous at the amount of time seeing me curling up on the sofa every evening staring at the iPhone crying!” I not guilty to admit that I’m romancing Edward Cullen.

OK,  just a few more photographs on the Little Ballerina like I’ve promised previously.

After looking at this photo, it gave me an idea.  The next time I’ll have to include the full shadow in the frame.  The reflection is just too breathtaking, too shiny like the granite tile.

The last one is my favourite.  Obviously they have gone thru a series of colour editing.

More photographs has been uploaded to Facebook.

Ciao, Bella.

I remember seeing my late paternal Grandma uses this type of zinc wash basin for her laundry instead of stone bathroom sink. During the 80’s zinc basin is commonly used.

Seeing them thus make me flash back to my childhood days.  I used to take my bath in the basin too and my Mom make me washed my own school shoes when I was only 6y/o from the same basin. If you are wondering, I took these farmhouse sinks during my trip to Disneyland in 2007 but never get a chance to blog about it.  And yesterday when I was dining out at Bubba Gump, they has the same sink too!

1. Air Tickets – Flying with MAS Airline – RM3,441.00
2. Accommodation – BP International House (3 nights) – RM729.14 (HKD1574.10)
3. Disneyland Entrance Fees – RM669.04 (HKD1450)
4. Ocean Park Entrance Fees – RM335.33 (HKD725)

We have other miscellaneous expenses like transportation (public buses), food and shopping.  All in, we used up all the RM1,000 that was allocated for this trip.  I do not know which is more expensive, DIY or tour.  But I think spending around RM1,200 on each person is cheaper than tour packages that could cost around RM2k per person?

Seriously, I have no time to compare prices but I like the thought of ’sendiri jalan’ (leisurely walk) and what’s more, with 3 kids in tow.  We woke up anytime we like and we don’t have to rush for time or the awaiting bus.  Life is less stressful that way. Even though we might miss out the best duck in town or the best egg tart in town, what’s important is your priority.  Ask yourself what you want during a trip.  Walk till you drop or just a leisurely lazy holiday.  We are definitely the lazy type. LOL!  And I know my kids can’t tolerate long walking or shopping and it’s Summer!  Freaking hot out there!

Talking about which, living expenses in HK is very high!  3 plate of chicken rice cost us about HKD95 (RM45)! Even their Vitagen is so much more expensive than ours!  Transportation wise is very convenient but lots of walking involved.    I guarantee you will go slim even without taking any weight loss supplements. We are a bit spoilt as we are so used to  driving back home.  All in, it was a wonderful and most important, no stress holiday.  How do you definite no stress?  Mine would be – “Mummy-&-Daddy-is-not -yelling- at- each- other- because- of- the- kids.  (well, it happen most of the time) *rolling eye*

The two girls has started their ballet lesson early August.  I have to gave in after years of pestering from the eldest girl (9 y/o).  And this time, I make her promise, “You Finish What You Have Started!” No turning back half way.  And make her sign at the dotted line that it is her, who wants to take up Ballet and not me!

Surprisingly after the first lesson, her teacher told me she had so much talent in dancing and I should have sent her much earlier (*oopsie).  Dancing comes so naturally in her.  I can’t agree more when I watched her during her third lesson.  She is able to follow the steps and flocking like any of her friends.  The teacher even booked her for the coming Grade 1 exam this November.  Wah, save my $$$ man!

Now coming to the Little Missy (4 y/o).  Because of peer pressure, she wants to dance too.  I can say no (despite she is still young and will be wasting my money on Baby Ballet) to her but I can’t stand her whining!  The two girls really love it very much and has been looking forward to their lesson every week especially Little Missy.

Picture time.  Too this shot of Little Missy on her 3rd lesson.  Will upload more in FB when I have time.

There, now I have the dates here so the next time if I want to refer back to what year and what month they started their lesson, all I need to do is type  in the keyword on the left search engine bar and viola!

Was gone and back from a short holiday to Hong Kong with the kids during the 3rd term school holiday.  Too much to write but so little time I have.  If time permit, I shall blog the journey, or else you can view the photographs that I have uploaded on Facebook.  I’m not a camcorder person.  Too shy to talk at a machine.  Would prefer still photographs most of the time and this time, I have lots of them!  As usual.

Hey, do try the above collage.  They are quite fun to put them together.

Some people has small gas!!! Can’t he understand that people is going for a family orientated holiday and not some shopping holiday?  Just because I couldn’t find his… what the… White Owl cigars, he have to get mad at me for the whole day.  For goodness sake, it’s just cigars right?  He refused to even listen to my explanation.  Asif I care now!
