Holy-day

Was very shock to know that Michael Jackson has left us!!! I was in the middle of my dreamland when Bun yell in front of the monitor telling me this news.

Really, still couldn't accept that this man who his songs accompany me through my childhood has left silently. A lot of people say they love and miss him a lot, but does their love and missing feeling get to him while he's alive? Apparently NO!

He gets alot of critics and was humiliated while he was alive. Lots of people talk and making jokes about his nose and surgery failure... No sympathy and a lil bit feeling of love when he's alive. How ironic to say love and miss after he left.

Anyway, let's see what's the topic today besides Michael Jackson (May you rest in peace!)...

Oh oh~ It's Holy-day!!! Wesak Day is public holiday ma~ So Wesak Day = Holiday = Holy-Day lo~

Was with my family, together went to this small-but-not-very-small house temple to do some praying there. I found that a lot of people become rich after when they establish a house temple. Do you think so?

I'm not doubtful towards the power of the god/buddha... I'm just curious how people manage to spend sooooooooo much money on something that doesn't 100% confirm to work physically example: willing to spend money to buy birds/tortoise for freeing them, or asked for 4 digits number, or to ask for amulets for avoiding accidents and so on...

Like Bun said: If he's able to open a house temple, he will do so. The people living inside the temple were living in a more cosy place than the believer like us! Maybe we're not doing enough good deeds for the people and the whole world...

Saw this at the outside of the temple... A fully decorate buddha statue with lots of flowersss for the Wesak Day parade held at Brickfield, but we're not attending. :/

*Spot the second buddha!*

*This is the main buddha for the Wesak Day*

There's nothing to do literally except for bathing the buddha... It's a tradition to bath the small buddha on Wesak Day but until today, I don't know what that means and what effect will the action brings. Maybe you guys can google it out and let me know? Hehe~

*Daddy Charlie bathing buddha~ He already prepare ang pao for the temple...*

*He just playing, you can tell it by seeing his face expression! I once think bathing buddha is kinda fun~ Different than what we usually do when praying*

*Mummy Joyce*

*Xuan Xuan and Bun... Lil fella attracted by the flowersss ya? LOL!*

*Peace, Love, Rock, Soul!!! -ME!!!*

Bathing a buddha should be: 3 times, one left one right and one middle. Cannot bath from head... I don't know why, this is the aunty in red colour t-shirt told me. But who likes water streaming down their head suddenly? I guess no one right?! So does the small Buddha!

After praying at the temple, all of us was trying to figure out where to have our lunch and Mummy Joyce suggest all of us go to Steven's Hot Spot to have a look and try their meal. No one dare to object so here we are:

*The logo were good but rainbow wall colour ruin the whole classy feeling!*

Obviously they just started this hot-spot place and the variety of foods were limited to microwave heating foods and cakes. So my lunch is this:

*Blueberry Cheesecake! Yummy~!!*

*Bro Sheng is this... Chocolate Moist I suppose...*

While Bun, Daddy Charlie and Bro Kian having nasi lemaks, some spring rolls and fish balls. Food weren't cheap at the hot-spot, but once you're a member, you gotta be going to spend your food points at destined locations.

After that, don't know who among us suggest we go to Carrefour for some grocery stuffs shopping, and I knew that was a super wrong mistake because that day is a HOLIDAY!!!! And a lot of people are going to Carrefour because they don't have other free time to go!

Oh well, I'll overlook the long queue and peoples... Because I have something more interesting that catches my eye:

*The Boss in Blue Sunglass*

Anyway, I had a moonlight-bath that night because the moon were round and shiny and the ray flow into my room!

*So round and sparkling moon! Can see the moon clearly because two piece of my window glass were broken last year... Was not fix until today thanks to the only man in the house! >_< *

Felt energetic and more spirit-ful after had some moonlight bath~ The sun is coming up now, I'll better hide in my blanket before it burns a hole in me, bye!!!

Cutie On Set

Hey ya'll!!! How's Father's Day celebration? Well, mine was a lil bit messed up thanks to the restaurant but overall it was ok~ Will blog about that in the future...

Once you have your own child, your EVERYTHING is related to the child including YOUR BLOG!!!! I really can't escape to blog about him every time when I wanted to blog! Maybe some of you are getting bored of seeing his pictures invade all my blog posts SO WHAT? I will continue blog and blog about him until I'm bored of myself for being less creative...

Once again, my post has been invade by this cutie lil fella again... And see... He shows me 'WHO'S DA BOSS' look... =="

*Tell me!!! WHO'S DA BOSS??????*

By the way, looking at the picture reminds me he BROKE my sunglasses into PIECES which was a gift for me from my mother!!! (No, not the white one in the picture) I don't even have the time to yell 'NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!' then I heard 'pak'... He broke the sunglasses already!!! With a goddamn lightning speed!!! WTF! From that day onwards, NO MORE SUNGLASSES FOR HIM TO PLAY/TOUCH!

When they grow, they start to express their feelings... This happen everyday too. Me and Bun will make him laugh, sing songs, teach him something new... But when he do things we don't wish to see him do such as: put his hands on the window... We will 'Ei!!!' him and he will turn to us and show us this face:

*You say jia lat or not la!!! Like those TVB actress kena dera by other people... If people don't know will think I let him suffer a lot~*

We went to Jaya Jusco at AU2 one saturday afternoon for some walk... This was kinda long time ago incident too...

Jusco AU2 become one of my favourite shopping place because I like the environment there which have indoor and outdoor section. Besides that, people there tend to be more relax rather than having a shopping spree like Carrefour or something...

2nd reason I like there is because Watson's there have the brand Majolica Majorca. (Weeee~!!! Jusco Alpha Angle's Watson have this brand NOW TOO!!!! WEEEEEEEEEE~~~~!!!)

Back to the topic. We went there for walk + lil shopping to do + eat.

When we pass by the arcade centre, I wanna take some pictures of Xuan Xuan on the arcade machines! But I didn't spend coins you know, just let him sit for syok only.

*I personally think that Xuan Xuan looks like the character he's sitting on... LOL!*

*If you don't know, he likes to drive... Especially LOVE the steering!*

After walk, we head to Steven's Tea Garden (STG) for our lunch.

*This fella keep climbing onto the table.*

*And he wanted to taste everything that is consumable! Very strong curiosity he have. Hope he don't go and kill the cat X_X*

I will not say that food at STG are superb, but at least, to me, is quite nice, but not really worth the price. You can eat the same food at other mamak stalls in much lower price. But this time, I'll try what's recommended by my mum.

*Cheese Chicken Chop! My obsession!!! A must for me everytime I go STG!*

*Lamb chop, not really nice... according to Bun*

Xuan Xuan will behave okay when he's outside. You'll never know how he behave when he's at home. Totally headache I am!!! @_@

*I so wanna post him back to Ipoh sometime...*

*Post-It-Baby!*

*Teddy Bear Baby*

I think I've told you guys that he starts weaning already... And you know what? He just love half-boiled eggs!!!

*Got Egg?*

I'm now trying to capture as much magical moment of Xuan Xuan as I could because I know he will only grow up once. Each and every minute to spend with him is precious I don't want it to be wasted and forget just like that.

I even photoshop some of the pictures of some cute lil moments we all have together:

*My Current Desktop Background!!! Love It!!!*

*His dad black de so I put black background! XD*

*We kissed! Chu~*

Well anyway, will try my best to blog as often as I can! Do check back some time okay?!

Yay~ Can sleep already finally!!!

Lost City of Gold

Long time didn't show you lil fella Xuan's photo already am I??? Been busy for the whole end of May till TODAY!!! And the events and celebrating are still not yet done as there's Father's Day this coming weekend!!! I hate LOVE celebration!

Back at 30th of April...

Let's see where are we heading today...

*Hey! I kiss you you don't show me your ugle face wor~*

Yes, the place we're heading today is...

*Taa Daa!!! You know where it is....*

Went to Sunway area that day to get my Grand Prize for the Mother's Day Contest organized by MySimplifieds, and too, to do some COD and last, hang around... Quite some time we went there for a walk, a lot of changes also!

The time we reach is around 11am, after the small COD session, we head to Steven's Tea Garden for breakfast. Wanted to try it for a long, long time, at last!

*My baby boy is soooo eager to have his breakfast!*

*Oily buns, from my breakfast set :p*

*Nasi lemak with Rendang Ayam~ Yum!*

When we're almost finish with our breakfast, that lil fella poo-ed in his diapers... So no choice, the first place we go at Sunway Shopping Mall will be the Baby's Room. LOL! But guess what, I was amazed by the facilities of it!!! Totally COOL!

They have censored sliding glass doll with some blur tinted film on it, besides that, they have a water purifier machine in the room too!!! How cool is that? That's not all... They have the most surprising area for babies and kids...

*Can you believe that this is available inside the Baby's Room???*

*Lil Xuan try to touch and discover everything that is in that tiny space*

*But after some time ( not more than 5 minutes!) he's bored with the same place and scene inside there and ask us to let him out... =="""*

*Some candid shot taken in the Baby's Room... Bun is covering his face to prevent me ruin his image, capture his so-call-ugly-looking-face in the photo.*

*I curi-curi take this... Muahhahahahahahaha XD*

*White Horse Prince he is~*

Can you imagine going to Sunway and buy nothing???? The feeling is soooo sucks!!! I wanna spend for myself but looking at my son, I think buying things for me, myself is something guilty and a serious sin! So I GIVE UP the thought of buying on anything I laid my eye on! Haihz~ But who knows my heart is yelling: NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~~~~~~~~~!!!

Enough of window shopping, really can't stand the pain no more! We shall proceed to the next station, and too, one of the place I heart all along, way back since its first opening: IKEA!!!

Bye bye Sunway, here we come IKEA!!!

'Since we're at that area, we might as well visit IKEA too!', this was my thought of going there. And also, having dinner there!!! Meatball here I come!

But traffic jam really break down people's spirit. From Sunway to IKEA it took me almost an hour! MAN!!! How you guys live at Bandar Utama area, jam up jam down jam everyday when go to school, work???? Really can't stand the traffic at all!

*Ikea, here we come!*

We went to the IKEA's restaurant first because we're kinda hungry. And YES!!! It's the time of the year again: Bedroom Week from IKEA! And you can get extra TWO MEATBALLS when you say the slogan to the waiter at the food counter! I does this everytime! I just can't get enough of MEATBALLSSSSS~

*Pax 10 Years Guarantee!!!*

After eat, we went to the furnishing department for some after-meal-walk. Good for health you know.

Really like all the stuffs from IKEA, beds, chairs, sofas, dining table, coffee table, cabinets... And soooo much more... But when it comes to the price, I feel kinda sad that I couldn't afford all those nice furnitures. But I will in the future!! *murmuring to myself*

*Lil fella in yellow too, like the IKEA plastic bag! XD*

*Lonely Shadow on a Sultan Mattress, got feel???*

*Xuan Xuan's Leng Lui lying on the bed want to seduce Pose!*

*He can't be lock up no more... He just wanna come out from the baby crib and explore the world already!*

*I wish I have DSLR... =="*

That's all for this time... Will blog more and more and more and more as I still have LOADSSSS of photos in my file! This is never ending man T_T

TLTB

Yeah, I'm officially:

"Too Lazy To Blog"

My fingers and brain are still in vacation mode, brilliant!

Will arrange everything and blog SOON! ;) Promise!

Ciao~!

XOXO

Imma now packing all the clothes and grocery stuffs because I'm heading back to Ipoh!!!!! 

Now is school holiday, I think all my nieces and newphews will be dying to see and play with Xuan Xuan... I think it's totally a great timing going back there for now!

Don't you guys think the weather is soooooo ridiculously hot???? I live at 9th floor, the air is suppose to be cool in the midnight but guess what? I woke up in the middle of the night, hard to breathe and find myself sweat a lot even the bed sheet were wet by my sweat!!! 

The weather at KL is so hazy and hot that alot of my neighbours start to install air conditioner at their home. How comfortable is that!!! But when I think deeper bout it, this whole thing is like a circulation:

Hot weather -> You open air cond/buy new air cond -> the weather gets hotter when more and more CFC were release because of the air cond consumption -> more and more people buying air cond/using air cond because of the hotter weather... and this goes on and on...

I wish that there were new technology coming up and everyone gets an air cond which is free of CFC or something like that so that the environment can be protected! How I wish I can have an air cond now~!!!

Ok then, since we're hot now, I shall show you some Latina hot babe style photo of mine!!! How hot is that huh? XD

*This is the photo I took last time before I went to Daidomon buffet... I look like a poser here. X_X*

*This is the early stage I transform into a hot latina babe! Red rose on hair, smooth, healthy looking skin, red lips, long lashes... Woo babe!*

*This is the complete stage of the whole latina concept! Red colour contact lenses, Long hair with bangs, signature with a kiss... Is this hot or what???*

*This is a Extra Version, everything were extra added, heavy bangs, heavy blusher, very very heavy lashes, I can't recognise myself at all!!!*

LOL~ Don't puke!!! I know you're having the same reaction like Bun first saw these few photos... Haha XD

Ok, gotta pack now! Ciao Amigo!!!!

Mother's Day 2009

Mother's day is meant for family gathering... So this year, with 2 more family members joining in, we celebrate Mother's day at somewhere near - Sri Rampai!!!

And the celebration actually is NOT a celebration as it's just a simple, normal whole family dining out at some place we usually won't go for normal dinner. 

Of course, my Daddy Charlie driving his car, we all have to stuff ourselves inside it... Since he's not driving a van or something, so no extra space for extra anything! (Can you imagine we all pack inside this can of 'sardin' for 4 hours journey to go to Penang last time? Geezz... Think can faint liao!!!)

*driving driving...*

We reached the restaurant around 8pm. I still remember the time because of the match between MU and MC! Everyone inside the restaurant is watching the match!!! But MC suck big time they didn't defend well for that match and let that kns MU goal and win! T___T

We're browsing through the menu and discussing what to order so that everyone can have a different type of dish and get to try other dishes~

*Discussing like signing multi-million contract*

*Xuan Xuan: Order only wor... Need to discuss till like that boh?*

*My leng zai bro watching football match which he usually doesn't watch...*

Since it's Mother's Day, so the dishes were serve after quite some time we order... But hunger makes us complaint nothing and straight gobble up what's serve!

*Mushroom soup... Suppose to be TWO bowl of mushroom soup instead of ONE!!!*

Not long after the arrival of the soup, here comes all the dishes...

First of all would be mine...

*Grill Fish... The fish smells a bit fishy smell, so I don't really like it... I Hate FISH SMELL! So smelly can faint ok?*

*Bun's Mix Steak Set... I think is 1 piece of beef, 1 piece of lamb and 1 piece of chicken! This is the best dish of the night according to my mum... Worth the price!!!*

*Bro Kian's Chicken Cordon Bleu... Not really nice as the cheese part is only a little part and the chicken meat is kinda rough...*

*Daddy Charlie's Grill Salmon... He say not nice... But I think with the price, he can get this kind of salmon not bad ma right???*

*Last but not least, Mummy Joyce's Sizzling Steak! But the pan is toooooooo hot it burn the sauce and the chicken, not enough kung-fu to make a decent Sizzling dish eh?*

*Mother and Son*

ACTUALLY... The reason the whole family was at this reastaurant was because I tried it out earlier.... Not I I la... I mean me and Bun la~ 

*Restoran D'One Steak at Sri Rampai*

It was a western food restaurant open by Malays. So no Pork Chop!! Me and Bun were attracted to try it because the price are CHEAP!!! What else are more attractive than SAVING MONEY while savouring through a nice meal???

*Menu~*

*The overall interior of the restaurant*

*This lil fella was non-stop moving here and there~!!! Pengsan*

*Their Fruit Juice was the BEST!!! So tasty!!! And not to mention the price are Cheap too!!!*

*Te Promotion Dish no.1 - Fish & Chips (This is definitely more nicer than the one I had at Splendid!!!)*

*Chicken Chop with black pepper sauce... Another promotion dish of their opening!!!*

If you like fancy, high-end restaurant with blue ribbon chef, this is not a place for you. If you're just some normal citizens like me, I guess you'll somehow like this restaurant. The price, the taste of dishes are friendly to wallet and taste buds!

After the dinner, Bun asked me whether I wannabuy some foods home... and immediately I say YES because I really, really dying for this: Chicken Wings!!! And this chicken wings are no ordinary taste chicken wings... They're superb!!!! 

This small stall is just located opposite the D'One Steak Restaurant... 

*The boss jaga api till very cham*

*Very rich flavour~ Nice!!! Must try!!!*

Since this post is about Mother's Day, I shall blog more about my mum's activities... She went to Taiwan around April for meetings and bring back some food... Let's see what she brings...

*According to my mum, this mee is a MUST BUY for some of her friends... They buy one carton back to Malaysia... They say very delicious, I say need so kua zhang or not??? One carton eh... Can eat one month dy lo~*

*Bak Chor Mee - Mee with tiny-chopped-meat*

*Milk Candy... I was asking my mum: You not scare of melamine ar?? Taiwan also got eh~ And you know what? She gave me a confused expression... =="*

*This mee no need buy at Taiwan, you can find this at most Jaya Jusco!!! Haha~ Of course, at Non-Halal department la~*

*This is roast cod fish slice... Very very sweet and juicy!!! Can buy if you were visiting 野柳!*

*One thing I like about Taiwan's instant noodle is the noodle can be cook just by adding boiling hot water... You try add hot water into Maggie mee... The noodle will come out half cook =="""*

*Dessert of the Day - Cheese Cake from Carrefour with Self-Decorated Hershey Chocolate Syrup! Yeah~!!!*

Finally... finish the post dy~!!! Ok Thanks Bye!!! I go ZZZZZZZZzzzZZZzzZZZZZZZZzzzzzzZZZZZZzzzzzZZZZzzzzzzZZzzZZ...

Happy Birthday to ME times Twenty Two~!!!

This day at 22 years ago, my mum suffered from the greatest pain of all human being to bring me to this world... It's the war of a woman which can lead to death when anything goes wrong... And with the tough mind and spirit, she overcome everything and gave me the right to breath, to see, and to discover...

After 22 years, all the pain she going through has made me into a....

Siao Cha Bo!!!

LOL!!! Ya ya~ It's the time of the year again~ In case you don't know, it's my B-Day!!!

Nothing much for this year but I had a great time with my beloved family, and cute friendssss~!!! Thank you for all the presents and surprises and the accompany for this day! I will always plant this deep inside my heart~ <3

I spend this day at a 3-days-2-nights-so-call-luxurious-stay-by-peiyue at The Gardens Hotel!!! Will blog about the whole stay soon~ I'm too tired to blog now... Hehe... 

*It's a Grand Prize which I won from a CONTEST! I'm not that rich to spend Ks to stay at hotel for this time being T_T*

Ok lo~ I go to ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ lo!!!!

Tomb-Sweeping Day 清明节 2009

Guess what... I'm with my family for the tomb-sweeping day this year... Me and Bun didn't make it back to Ipoh for that day~ Sighs~ Don't know whether his mum or dad will complaint about this or not... =="

Anyway, all of us wake up around 530am in the morning, buy stuffs at Pasar and then head to Nirvana, Semenyih quickly~ The later you're there, the jam-mer the traffic will be... It seems like the whole world is there to pray to their ancestors. Really pengsan everytime stuck in the traffic...

We reach there around 7am something... And the sky was clear... Love the sun that day!!!

Without any scruple, I bring my son with me that day. Alot of people said that this is a no-no! Because to Chinese, babies can see spirits easily... So, bringing them to place which are full of tombs and dead people are not a wise act. But you know me, I ain't going to believe all those superstitious thinking... So, I bring him along! See~ He's sooooooooooooooooo cute that day! He wear like Bruce Lee!!! Haha!!! XD

The fresh air and the smell of the green grass really makes people feel good!!! Even shy fellow come out and take some sun bath!!!

*Hey little fella, Long time no see you dy~ How are you??? You're huge aren't you??? XD*

After chit chatting with relatives a while, it's time to prepare for the praying ceremony. Tomb must be clean and swept before foods can be put on it as a offerings to our ancestors. Of course, variety of foods can be different according to different family. 

*Foods~ We haven't had our breakfast yet!!! X_X*

I remember my Ah Gong(Grandfather) used to like pork! Especially those with a bit of fat in between... To him, that's the best!!! So, every year we'll buy him roast pork. Besides that, Kopi-O Gao is a must too! Ah Gong loves to drink Kopi, and I still remember he taught me how to made a cup of Kopi-O using his own method. Ah Gong's Kopi-O is the best Kopi-O I've ever had in the world... I miss him a lot you know...

Due to our empty stomach is protesting how we treat them so bad, we decided not to look at the foods while our mother is preparing to serve as offerings, we shall turn to one of the spotlight of the day - Xuan Xuan and take his picture gao gao!!!

*Bruce Lee Style Punch!!!*

*Bruce Lee win jor he smile confidently!!! XD*

After foods are well arrange and joss sticks were litten up, it's time for the praying ceremony. According to Chinese tradition, the eldest son will be the first person lead the praying, and that'll be my 2nd uncle as my 1st uncle passed away...

*Their joss stick are different than ours, thicker and longer eh~*

*Daddy Charlie: Please 'bo bi'(bless) us kena lottery then I'll buy you whole roast pig next year as offerings!!! XD*

*remember ar~ Lottery!!! 1st place ar~!!!*

After everyone's turn, it's Xuan Xuan turn now!!!!!

*He's sooooo excited meeting his great grandfather for the first time!*

*Walau~ He even put on some 搞怪 funny expression some more!!!*

*Leng zai~ This looks like more to Gong Xi hand gesture than praying hand gesture leh~ =="*

After the praying ceremony, the next big thing we're going to do is to WAIT! Yeah~ Wait!!! If you're asking wait for what, I'll say wait for THE TIME to come... What time? THE TIME!!!

LOL~ Yeah, wait for the spirits to come over and have their meal, after they left then we can burn some offerings to them... How we know they come already??? We'll ask using some sort of coin throwing method to ask... I'm not sure how the process is but we'll just listen and follpw orders by our parents la~

While waiting... MORE PICTURES!!!!

*He changed his Bruce Lee sleepwear into some casual wear because the weather is getting more hotter than earlier... He even hug the marble ornament to cool down his body temperature... LOL!*

*Waaa~ Very hot ar......*

*The temperature is sooooo hot even spider climb on the ornament to cool down too...*

*I believe I can fly~*

*I believe I can touch the sky~*

After we get order from parents it's time to eat, we all eat the offerings we bring to our ancestors. LOL! I know, mentally it's kinda disgusting isn't? But who cares, this is one of the Chinese tradition which have been followed for thousand of decades!

After that, we clean up the place and head to my 1st uncle's tomb. (As I've said earlier, he passed  away...)

*Different family different praying style... My uncle's family put all those colorful flag on the top of the tomb.. I'm not sure what's the reason... Hmm...*

Heading back to KL was the most headache thing of that day! Everyone is rushing back to KL at noon time... Aiks~ We're jammed in the middle of the traffic for about 1 hour... And according to the staffs at Nirvana Memorial Park, it's impossible to broaden the road in front of the place because alot of Malays live there for a long time. They refuse to move to another place...

Is this consider intolerant? They're causing alot of traffic troubles to that place! There are hundreds and thousands of tombs there, and definitely hundreds and thousands of families are going to be there for praying, and of course, hundreds and thousands of cars are driving to that place, in and out for sure! Are we going to stuck in traffic jam like that for 10 years or more?

Gosh~!!! I wish they can move out from the place! I'm sure Nirvana company will compensate them for their lost... But I guess that they're too stubborn to agree... Sighs~

Anyway, we're taking the Sungai Long route back to KL... And we're discussing what to have for lunch (I thought we just had our brunch at Nirvana?)... Guess what, my dad bring us to a place that I think alot of people don't know that such place exist at KL!

He bring us to Jln Bellamy to eat Rojak Bellamy!!! Haha~ (Bellamy reminds me of former Liverpool player Craig Bellamy...)

Hoho~ As you can see at the advertisement board, this Rojak bellamy can consider as the most delicious rojak in Malaysia!!! And for your information, this rojak once served as food in the palace!!! Don't play play oh~ Not delicious how serve it to the King and Queen??? 

*All Malays eating the famous rojak~ We're the only one Chinese family there... I guess Chinese not very fancy over rojak eh?!*

Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng~ Now I introduce you~ 

The Famous Rojak Bellamy:

The sauce were nice... Sweet and spicy... Alot of mengkuangs and tofus and kuihs... Nice but cheap~ Can consider stop by this rojak 'restaurant' if you're around Istana area...

If you not sure how to go, please use Google Map ok???

P.S: Don't go at night, they don't open at night time... Lunch is ok! ^^

The next day, me and Bun decided to go to Carrefour to buy some grocery stuffs... But the queue at the Carrefour was sooooooooooooooooooo long we decided to shop later and have our dinner first...

Seeing the 50% off promotion at Splendid, we decided to give it a try...

But you know, overall Splendid is a CLONE to Secret Recipe. They have the ALMOST same interior design, ALMOST same menu, ALMOST same cake selections and the food too... taste ALMOST the same! Pengsan~ But Splendid is a bit expensive compare to Secret Recipe...

For the 50% off items, only two options available:

Option No. 1 : Blackpepper Chicken with Rice

Option no.2: Fish and Chips

The drinks are expensive, so we order only one drink to share... Overall the food taste normal... I guess I won't step into Splendid for the next time...

Road to Penang Feb 2009 Part II

Hooray~ Give a clap for my efficiency for continue the story of the Penang trip in such a short period!!!! *applause!!!*

Okay~ Before I start, Kei told me that I didn't make a conclusion on why Jill was emo that night. Yeah~ I totally forgot to write that  because I was too rush to bed that time.... So the answer why Jill is emo is because...

She was tired. Nah~~~~~~~~ Haha... Actually, YES! She was TIRED!!! This is the main reason, and the 2nd one is because she didn't meet that somebody for 2 days???!! LOL! This only happens on those who just fall in love... 

Anyway, let's proceed to the next day of the wedding, the traditional wedding ceremony!

I was told that around 9am the bridegroom will arrive our apartment. So, everyone is up at 8am... But guess what, being late this gen is really in our Chinese blood, planted so deep in our core of gens and mind... The bridegroom arrive around 10am???! Or 1030am... I forgot the exact time since this passed for few months...

But luckily he was late, because I'm the last person who wakes up! Gosh~ And I need to bath and make up and so on... And waited for some time, the wedding car team arrived!!!

Jacques will be the door boy who opens the door for the bridegroom. We Chinese believe that this can bring the bridegroom luck for giving birth a boy? Whatever nonsense, just some superstitious traditional act by prosperity-belief-aunty uncle.

Jacque and Ceremony MC (This position was same as matchmaker at old times)

Bridegroom: Nah~ Give You ang pao~

Jacques: Thank You~ Hehe XD

And the first thing bridegrrom and his brothersss step into the house is to makan first. Where got energy to cope with those difficult missions the bride's sistersss give if no energy at all??? 

Kuih's and Yeo's Chrysanthemum Tea are a must! Why huh? I wonder if there's different combination... Maybe Coke with KFC for breakfast?

All the brotherss and sisterss are gathered together. Sisterss have to pin the flowers on the shirt pocket of brotherss... Not sure what does it means but sure thing is there's always people who feel shy about it...

Shy guy no.1 who looks like the MyFM DJ 国荣

Shy guy no.2 who pretends not to be shy...

After wearing flower brooch, the bridegroom and his fellow brotherss are ready to challenge those mission just to win the chance for the bridegroom to get into the room! This is the fun part of the wedding ceremony where you can see people do all those funny acts and stuffs...

Yeah~ We're READY!!!

Ehhh??? The sister kena challenge back instead of challenge the brothersss =="

Lipstick Guessing... Which one belongs to the bride...

Bridegroom: Jia Lat liao... I only tahu kissing leh...

After some time guessing and laughing, it's time for brotherss to use their energy of Kuih Muihsss and Chrysanthemum Tea to knock off the door to let the groom in!!!! They almost can compare with the Spartan 300!!!

Groom: Hee Hee... You see lo, I'm in the room now, are you willing to marry me???

Bride: Hee Hee.................................

Lovely Couple

The 'kissing' ceremony... Which is a MUST for every wedding ceremony! XD

But one kiss is not enough, some more on the cheek wei.....

So... there goes...

Sweet!!!

Flower wearing for the groomsmen and bridesmaid...

The ceremony ended with a Family Potrait!!!

After that, people were talking and chatting non stop with the bride and groom and I'm so boring I camwhore with Jill again. She's HOT don't cha think so????

After lunch at the apartment, everyone leave and check out process are done... And it's time to tour around!!! You know what is opposite of our apartment??? It's.....

Buppharam Thai Buddhist Temple

This temple was one of the famous temple in Penang. Lots of foreigners and its loyal believer come to visit the temple everyday...

I don't know why Mummy Joyce have to touch the statue's hand... Can touch one meh???

Four Face Buddha

Sleeping Buddha

There's alot of buddha statue for praying around... But there's one that really amazed me! Which is this...

The highest status monk's statue... In the middle of the indoor temple...

The statue looks sooooooooooooooo real as if it were the REAL PERSON sitting there...

I don't dare to take a close up picture because I think he's staring at me =="

The rules and regulations of the temple

You can see there are sooooooooooo many type of gods of Thai Buddhist, but the following one I'm showing you is the one who have extraordinary power...

No, not that 3 behind....

This ONE!!! You don't underestimate its power by its size. According to the monks and belief, this statue have the power of telling whether can or can't your wish to be true...

We spend quite some time in this small room, asking questions and hoping the statue can tell us something through its weight. The CORRECT way to ask a question is:

1) Think your question inside your heart... SINCERELY, after that, think this: IF YOU AGREE MY WISH AND IT CAN COME TRUE, PLEASE LET ME LIFT YOU UP!!!

2) Lift the statue up, the 1st time should be light and can lift up easily.

3) After placing back the statue, think AGAIN: IF YOU'RE GRANTING MY WISH, PLEASE DON'T LET ME LIFT YOU UP!

4) This time, the statue is soooooooo heavy you can't even lift it up even you're standing and use all your energy to lift it up!

You probably don't believe me, but it's true! Each and every member of my family have tried it and was overwhelm a bit by its power... But honestly, I forgot what I ask for... Lousy memory...

There's a statue of the monk which allows people to stick a GOLD FILM on it! See~!!! GOLD FILM!

Offering of 108 times which can bring you happiness and luck!!!

You can't believe how much time we spend in this temple! It's kinda fun and exotic experience for me. You can try find this temple which located at Perak Road... Just around Burma Road for your information...

How can not to take photo with such beautiful gate and sunny day???

Mummy Joyce and Daddy Charlie insist want to take photo with the temple... She say looks like they're at Thailand... LOL!

The next BIG thing you can do at Penang is to EAT!!!! Even though you're full...

We don't really know where are those delicious foods at, cos there are alots of reconstruct and movement of stalls which even Mummy Joyce who born at Penang getting confuse a bit with the road and things...

So, we're going to try NEW things!!! And this new place we're heading to is called NEW WORLD PARK.

And I was shocked when I see this!!!! :

KISSA KOYOTEI!!!!! The Malaysia 1st Maid Cafe!!! I was soooooooo excited when I saw this I felt like I'm a hentai otaku or something...

I keep on dropping hints to Bun Bun and my family on how special the cafe is... Hope that they know I'm hoping to drop by to this special cafe, but neither of them get my hints... Sighs~ T_T

So, bye bye to Kissa Koyotei... Hi to New World Park... *sobs* 

Penang food are always much more cheaper compare to KL ones but this New Workd Park food court are consider same price as KL... 

As my son is sleeping soundly at Bun's arm, I'm the one who is going to order food. Since I'm still full at that time, I might order some dessert... And the famous one will be Ais Kacang a.k.a ABC~

When I was ordering, the waiter ask me whether I want fruits or not... I was wondering: The fruit taste might not match with the taste of Ais Kacang, so I refuse to let them earn the money of the fruits I decline their offer... And it turns out to be FRUIT AIS KACANG is the FAMOUS dessert at New World Park!!!! Even Ho Chiak come and interview them before...

I was like @_@.............. Speechless!!!

My Fruit-less Ais Kacang... *sobs*

After dessert and snacks, we decide to walk around, have a look on this new 'NiuZeXui' look alike place...

Xuan Xuan woke up... And he's smiling~

We pass by a shop called 'Happy Feet' and there were promoters giving out flyers, promoting their shop. It was a promotion period for the shop and we decided to try it out... Each and everyone of us is first time doing this.... Nervous nervous~

Interior of 'Happy Feet'... So 'BALI'...

(Don't know why, everyone is travelling to BALI like right now???!!! What the heck...)

The main worker of 'Happy Feet'!!! Cute aren't they???

Yes, we have our very FIRST FISH BITING FOOT THERAPY at Happy Feet... We were persuade by the promoters and seduced by the promotion we decided to give it a try... 

We are advice to wash our legs before we dip it into the water... And our leg are examine by promoters to avoid any disease of feet such as Hong Kong Leg and etc... We were satisfied with the attitude and friendliness of people working there...

And here comes the time we have to do it...

To Put our leg into the water and let the fish nibble it...

Honestly, I totally can't resist laughing and yelling because of the ticklish feeling when the small fishes nibble and swimming around my feet... For the whole 40 minutes of process, I was trying to calm myself down... I sucks Kao Kao cos I still can't get use to the feeling while other people are enjoying it!!!

Mummy Joyce... So enjoy until LOVE come out and surrounded her.... 

Daddy Charlie very KUA ZHANG, he dip half of his leg into the pool... He say must earn back kao kao the money... LOL!

This is the expression when you first sink your feet into the pool...

This is the expression after 20 minutes sitting there doing nothing so you start to feel sleepy in the lazy afternoon...

As you see, I'm trying very hard not to laugh and calm down myself, murmuring 'It's Okay, You just have to get use to the feeling...' But I failed anyway~ The fish were big enough, I don't think they're nibbling my feet, I think they're biting/eating it...

Xuan Xuan had his first fish therapy!! He's soooo enjoying it! I ashamed of myself... T_T

Relax~

It was a laughing, fun 40 minutes, I guess each and everyone of us are enjoying it and this will be the special memories for everyone of us!!! ^^

Before we leave New World Park... There are carnivals and machine rides are there to earn kid's money!!!

As Kevin say: Hey~ Your son 卡到鸟！

As if the Kangaroo have 2 babies...

Come take a horse ride with me babe~!!!!

Yeah, we spend the whole afternoon at New World Park... And then back to my Aunt JooBee's house to fetch my bro Sheng... And guess what, I'm DOWN!!! With FEVER...

Arrggghhhh~~~~ We're heading back to the mainland of Penang, Bukit Tambun and there are some Night Carnival going on there too. There were lots of tasty foods and people singing and dancing on the stage but I didn't see any of it because I were too sick to go out from my relative's house...

The fever continue till Sunday, I become much more better when we're going back KL... Sighs~ I missed alot of good foods~!!!

Anyway, here comes to an end of my Penang trip at February this year!!! It was such a nice, funny trip except the ending of it where I was sick... But don't worry Penang...

I'LL BE BACK!!!!!!!!!

Muahahahahahahahahahaha~ XD
