Sand, Waves...& Fish?
Anyway, after the swim, the uncle took us to Teluk Bahang to the fishermen village to buy some fresh fishes. (just right after their catch!) Well, no doubt it was fresh, there wasn't much catch though. Mostly consist of prawns & crabs, a few middle / small sized fishes. The bigger fishes would be available during 11pm-12am...hahahh....not that crazy to go there that late.
Was my first time there to see so many fishermen boats, and saw the fishermen come back from their catch...and...lots and lots of cats!! They must really enjoy staying there...since they get to "eat-all-they-want" fishes...hahaha....what a way to live, don'tcha think so?

Silent Night
Anyway, everyone should be partying by now (10:30pm - night is still young as some may say), while I'm stuck at home in front of the pc blogging this *pathetic* blog...hahah...what to do...what to do...*sigh* oh well.
It wasn't such an uneventful day though. In the later evening, my parents once again took the lil monkey for her 2nd swimming lesson. This time, she swam away on her own, now that she's gotten the concept of floating and kicking (backstroke) altogether. So today's lesson was actually to go forward, which she's still a bit struggling. But no worries, it's only just a matter of time. =)
I wouldn't be surprised that after our 3 mths stay in penang, and being taught to swim everyday like this, she would be a pro at it soon.
Anyway, the most important thing is that, she's enjoying herself and liking it. hahaha..I rarely have problems putting her to sleep during bedtime. ;)

Double Of Everything
She got lil monkey loads of pants to wear, cos the old ones can't fit her anymore. Anyway, my dad offered to buy some clothings for the twins instead. I eventually got 2 sets a pair each baby clothing which is totally cute.
The bad thing about it: double expenses
The good thing about it: extra discounts
But that's not important. What I eventually noticed was the clothing I found was actually "mirror image" of each other. So, when both twins wear the clothings, one will have a ribbon on the right side, the other on the left. Well, at least this is one way to differenciate the two of them...*I hope* But eventually, which is which...hahahaha...this is something that have to be carefully planned and remember. hmm...tag or code the babies ?? =P
One weird encounter I had while at the stall was, an aunty was beside me and suddenly asked about my pregnancy. She guessed that I was about to give birth soon and was to be a boy. hahaha...I wonder why ppl are so curious about seeing a woman with "bigger than usual bellies" during pregnancy. Anyway, she was quite shocked after I told her I'm having twin girls and delivering mid next mth. *I just hate repeating myself over and over after some time...sigh*
As the day passes by, the twins and myself are getting more and more excited (I guess) cos they've been kicking and stretching a lot, making me all dizzy and "motion" sickness all night long. hahaha...especially when both of them move at the same time...One very good question which I just have to ask the doctor during my next and final appointment - which twin is come out first? hahaha...both are equally healthy, just a bit diff in size. Logically, I think the bigger one should come out first...right ? hahaha...let's just wait and see.

To paint or not to paint ?
It is slowly progressing well (i think & hope). Need a second opinion on that to confirm it. Hope to come out with lots and lots of paintings and try to see what's it worth. If I manage to sell any of it, I'll definately do my part in contributing to the needy by donating it...*what goes around, comes around* ~ i think that's what they say...
Once the paintings are done, will definately compile it and post it up one day. Hope to get feedback and comments so that can learn much more and improve from it...
The Beach - sand & waves
Anyway, my parents was the one who promised to take her for these outings. (being proud grandparents they are...*ahem*) lil monkey was happily playing with the waves for the first time, was very excited and couldn't stop squeeling in delight after every wave splash...after that, she was then having fun learning to build sand castle...which she needs to understand the concept of it first...=P
There'll be more chance for her to have her fun. There's still the fishing at botanical garden, visiting the butterfly farm, sight seeing / catching monkeys at youth park....etc hahaha..still loads to do and a long way to go. *double dang....no camera to take photos to post*

The Walk Along Gurney
Any reason why it is said to bring good luck if buying 4D number after seeing / encountering with monitor lizards ??
Some time back, I had several close encounters with monitor lizards, but didn't know it was really that lucky to buy 4D numbers. (that's what ppl said anyway) I eventually found out that the number for "monitor lizard" actually came out 1st prize the next day...that time, there were actually 2 monitor lizards - a giant one chasing after a smaller one...whereby the smaller one crawled into the house, went under the prayer table...*even they know where to find protection by the god / goddess's* ...and was drinking water from the offering altar...(must've been thirsty from its escape)
hmm...maybe if I really do win a lottery, that might help my financial situation oh? hahaha....*wishful thinking*

The Day That Will Be...
tentative day the twins will be out. gosh...I've not even done my shoppings yet. Wonder if I can make it in time. hahahah....start to panic dee...since there should be year end sales, hope can save a bit here and there when buying in bulks.
a bit panicky also dee cos it's like so near...yet still so far...I'm like counting down the days when I can finally breathe freely and easily...and craving to lie on my stomach and do stretchings...this time must really do it right dee....next year's mission and goal -- get slim, keep slim, STAY SLIM !! (plus getting rid of the ugly stretch marks...argh)~~~ muahahahahahah...what a great accomplishment it will be before I turn 30. *drooling* just the thought of it is so tempting...
baby gifts wish list...hmm...well, if anybody were to get anything, we're not hoping for much. Just maybe sponsorships for baby diapers, milk powder, or cash will do. Simple and easy huh? no need to think of what to buy, what colours to get, what sizes to get (and always end up sizes too small....hehehhe) *P/S: must double the value though cos it's TWINS we're talking about here...sorry to say* kakakaka.....
anyway, will update everyone when that special moment happens...another round of "wish me lucks" ?? =P
Lonely Hot Penang & X'mas
Surprising though that this year's x'mas is totally very quiet. Even more quiet than CNY. My parents were saying they've not even heard a single carol / x'mas song on the radio, and it's just few more days away...what happened to all those festive cheers and spirits i wonder...=S
Oh well...at least the x'mas trees and most shopping complexes were up since early of the month. fuiyoh...should look at the x'mas tree deco's at the Curve, Pyramid, Mid Valley, etc...and a whole lot of x'mas special promotions and gift packages. (too bad no $$ to spend anyway...)
Ok then, wish everyone a merry merry x'mas ~~ cheers !!~~
Not Working Anymore ~
Due to the fact that I'll be delivering twin babies next month. It'll be some time before I get things together again and get back to work. It is very unfortunate that my previous maid will not be back to continue working here. That should've saved all my worries and troubles. But anyway, life still goes on. Just have to face it and move on.
Instead, I hope I can cope up by working at home while taking care of the kids. It sounds difficult (and even feels like it) but look on the bright side, I'll be spending more quality time with my own kids and getting the opportunity to see them grow up and all. That was what I've missed out the most with my eldest one...
Anyway, wish me luck ~

Unforgetable Birth-Day
27th Oct 2006 - Well, the day went on as usual, back to work from the holidays and stuff. Trying to get things done and getting back on track after such a long break *lazy* Anyway, it felt kinda weird that day so went home for lunch. But after lunch, it felt even weird so I requested for half the day off. I thought once I got some sleep and rest, I would get better after that. But unfortunately, it went from bad to worse. I started to have a fever, dizziness, and even felt like vomitting. Ended up with diarhea instead. *bleah* :(
All I could practically do was either stay in bed or go to the bathroom and just keep on drinking water. ( I felt so sorry for the twins though, must've been really stressing for them) Well, there goes my 26th birthday. Sick, exhausted, and bed ridden for 2 days with nothing to eat but water...and slowly some porridge...*happy birthday to me* hahahahaha
Anyway, this is what a series of events that actually happened before and after....here goes~
My brother was the first to be hit by diarhea. We were suppose to drive home together from Penang to KL on 26th morning, but he landed up sick and stayed back in Penang, unable to travel. He eventually got better and got back to KL in one piece on Sunday morning with another friend. hahaha...he's now slimmer and *ahem* handsome...REALLY!!~
Secondly, was me. Then, turns out the lil monkey ended up the 3rd victim. She was half way asleep when suddenly she woke up vomitting. She couldn't eat or drink anything, practically vomitted anything she'd taken. We took her to a doctor and gave her some medicine. Luckily it helped her a lot and got better the next day. *phew*
On the next day, the maid was also having slight fever, then diarhea too. hmm.....really wonder what struck us. We really couldn't think of anything that has led to this unfortunate events, but we're just glad we're all over and through this together.
Moral of the story....PENANG IS EVIL !~~~ hahahahah....no lah...kidding...true moral of the story is, Food poisoning is dangerous. so be careful and be ready for it as best as possible.
And again....happy birthday to myself.... :P *muaks*

Holiday in Penang
Anyway, the holiday was mostly spent with the family, like going for morning walks, breakfast & yamchar sessions....here's the list of food we've made and almost achieved...
- 1st day Loh Mee : full of the stuffings, chicken leg, pork meat, etc...somewhere in perak lane?
- 2nd day Roti Jala : our favourite breakfast at Pulau Tikus corner coffee shop besides Lady orchid tuition centre wan...
- 3rd day Hokkien Mee : waited for 50 mins for the freaking mee. had ordered some other stuffs while waiting though, like chee cheong fun & wantan mee (not bad, not bad...)
- 4th day Kueh Teow Teng : er...this wan the one at hutton lane...right? *forgot the road names* it's actually near to the Eden restaurant and the balai polis wan...a bit water down dee though
- Yamchar 1 : Apom & Pancake (island glades) yum yum ~~~ can't get good and cheap stuffs like this around in KL...nope nope...hahahah....
- Yamchar 2 : Ban Cheng Kueh (Tmn Free School nite foodcourt) the thickness and the stuffings were just right !! very diff from KL styles...*sigh* penang food ~~~ wat more can i ask for?
hmm...nothing much actually happened..EXCEPT that the lil monkey got her wish granted again...she managed to convince her "ah-mah" to get her a new bicycle *again*
Here's one on her new "bigger & better" bicycle...only 2 yrs old (goin to 3), shocked the grandparents and equally the uncle who sold this bicycle when they saw her actually cycling and paddling happily away...
Here's her having fun drawing / scribbling / or whatever you call it...(potential artist no?)
And her trying to look like making calls...
Overall, the holiday was well spent but a bit tired due to a bit lack of sleep over all the excitement...
Oh yea, must write a dedication to my "sailo" - CONGRATS!!~~ finally found a gf dee (and a good "catch" too, if i do say so myself) must be more confident and become better person dee lohh....;) hehehehe....

BB Preview
1st pic is the twins at 13 weeks old. even though looks like ET (*hahhahahah) but can see their gradual developments & growth. both are normal and healthy looking, not to mention active. =)
*from left to right - the head, body & hands, butt & legs
2nd pic , at 17 weeks old is just one of the twin. They're positioned in such a way that both are "face-to-face", one on top of the other. the doc says since both are almost the same, just take one of them will do. hmm...probably discussing some plans or playing games together of some sort...
from left to right - the butt *legs crossed in front*, the body & back, neck and head
Anyway, the sex of the bb's are still unknown, will most likely be able to see & tell by the next month. but one of it does look like a "girl" (or so the doc said she "thinks so")

"Little Taiwan"
What we've tried so far and the comments:-
1. Marmite Chicken Chop Rice - tasted not bad, generous portion of chicken meat as well. Enough to fill your empty stomach.
2. Pork Rib Meat Noodle - the soup is definately good, and most of all...check out the enourmous portion of pork rib! 3 thick enormous pieces of meat...really value for money.
3. Hot Ginger Milk Drink - sure to cure your illness there and then...swallow slowly *caution* hahhah...it's not really hot "hot"..it's the ginger "spicy" hot feeling.
4. Jasmine Honey Lemon Tea - usually you'll taste mostly the honey or lemon taste, but this is really authentic Jasmine tea taste. Strong and "kau".
5. Dessert - urm...there were 2 desserts we tried, i forgot what it's called. one of it was like "tau foo fah" looking but it's cooked using steamed egg. the sweet taste on top is caramel syrup. sure to satisfy those sweet tooth of yours. the other is jelly with lemon syrup / juice of some sort. it'll wake your senses.
Overall price range, hmm.....somewhere around "wong kok" pricing, or those "hongkie" restaurants...anyway, i think if they could keep up with this quality and remain the portions as it is..it is quite worth it...
Too bad couldn't take any nice pix of the food. But it would be worth a surprise for those who may be interested =)

Busy Saturday
Anyway, started off waking up early, taking a fresh air morning walk with Allysa at the playground. Incidently, there was another family at the playground with 2 of their kids. When they were about to go off, suddenly the mother called out "allysa". hhahah...what a small world to have 2 kids with the same name meeting each other like that.
Next was breakfast at McD. FINALLY~~ they have Filet-O-Fish for breakfast. I was getting a little bored of their Egg / Sausage Muffins. maybe the taste is a bit too weird for me. Allysa got herself the kids meal with Hello Kitty toy kit & the other a Car. *but seems like she likes the car even more than kitty...~_~"
In the evening later, would probably see how my maid plant / transfer some flowers. We took back some flower pots from the office (since all the plants dried out and died) hehehe... the plants at home were growing bigger and so would need a bigger place to continue growing. =P
Time to relax while I still can for this afternoon....*yawn*

Stressful Months Ahead
Well, apart from the work stress, my body is starting to feel the "stress" as well...hahaha...ever since knowing about the twins, gradually the pressence is very much felt and visibly seen (*buldging stomach lah...what else?!?) at 3-4 mths now, i seem to look like 5 mths pregnant person...hahaha *compared to a single bb pregnancy*
Anyway, lotsa planning to do and so little time (always plan for the worst and plan far far ahead for these things) oh...to at least make myself happy, I'm writing down a couple of "wish list"..hehehe (wonder can find / get these anot)
bb's would definately need : car seats, lots and lots of diapers, same pair of clothings (if both are the same sex), oh...anybody willing to sponsor their education fund ? hahaha..kidding =P
well, things isn't hard to find and get..but i sure wish i would have ppl to help me out during those time in need....1st few mths are going to be hectic (double of everything now that it's TWINS!) =P

2nd doctor's appointment
So near yet so far, I can't wait to see the twins. CNY is also almost close to their due date, so I'm also fairly excited to spend the new year's with them, like how I spent my new year with the first one (allysa) ^_^ when she was born. (sorry to say to some cos I won't have enough to spend as ang pow's...better luck again in 2008 lah..) =P

Twins surprise
However, on a Saturday morning in July 2006, the most shocking (but still wonderful) surprise I have ever received, was finding out that I was pregnant again - with twins!
Who would have known that I will be carrying (and will be giving birth) to twins. Girls or boys, its still unknown cos its still too early to tell. But what matters most is that they're both healthy and growing steadily.
Well...will have to update more later on...*

"KIT" Cat ~ latest family member
Last weekend, we "adopted" a stray kitten and named it "Kit". Well, there was suppose to be two of them. So they were supposed to be named "Kit" & "Kat". Unfortunately, we don't know where "Kat" is right now, but hopefully it's living somewhere happily and comfortably. Here's some cute pix of the lil "Kit".

Jason Lo @ TGI ~ The Curve
I also once bumped into Pin Guan last few years ago at Sunway Pyramid. He was with his parents that time. But he did look rather shy when people started noticing and was looking at him. He sure was tall, fair and handsome...*sigh*

Putrajaya Weekend
Was suppose to post this up last weekend but eventually got really tired and lazy. Anyway, was just there for lunch *yummy* nasi kandar and ice kacang. My "kakak" wanted to take some pix so that was mainly the purpose for this trip. The weather was bloody hot that day, but still had lotsa people visiting. Anyway, enjoy the pix of bb just being extremely cute.

Cameron Highlands
First trip to Cameron Highlands in such a long time...and also the first trip with the family. The trip itself was nice and cooling, although there were some "unpleasant" experience half way up...hehehe...poor baby.
Anyway, bought lotsa cheap and fresh vegs and 2 plants. Hope they'll live somehow. Will take extra care of them from now. If it blooms, will then post up some pix of it...
Along the way down, stopped by some usual and unusual places.

More Cute Pix
My Fair Little Lady
Oh, saving the best for last, here's the surprise I mentioned.
She finally got her long awaited bicycle. Saw it when we first arrived home in penang. Couldn't make her sleep til almost 3 - 4 am. The next morning when she woke up, took her out for a spin around the nearby playground. The pic was taken when on our way to her great-grand-mother's house. hehehe..."Fair Little Lady" indeed.

3 days & counting...
Well, since nothing much happened these few days, guess I'll just write about my bb and her growing up days. hahahha...She's good with her 1 - 10, learning 11 - 20, sometimes skipping here and there. A - Z well..the song is quite complete, but not all the exact alphabets were pronounced correctly while she sings. Surprisingly, she can sing the song "Jingle Bells" very well, and not forgetting "Happy Birthday". - she did sing her own b'day song on her 2nd b'day early this yr.
Right about now, she knows how to answer us when we ask what's her name and how old she is...but she's rather shy when other strangers ask her the same questions. *sounds just like me*
Her latest favourite game - "Hide and Seek" - she's good at "seeking" us, but not very good herself at "hiding". hahaha...she gets too excited and jumps right out in the middle when counting. She doesn't quite understand the concept yet, i guess...
Last but not least, I think she's starting to get the hang of drawing & scribbling. Hope one day she'll be good at drawing, possibly better than me. hahaha....she has potential anyway.

Stress Free Day
Really need to have more practice sessions...think I'm totally outdated on the new songs...*oops*
Anyway, I felt a bit bad having to leave the lil bb behind at home with her "kakak". Will make it up to her during the next trip back to penang, and the following weekend - a week at Cameron with her grandparents. *more strawberries and fresh vegs*
Manage to do a bit of gardening too. The flowers are all slowly blooming. Hope to "transfer" more flowers from penang to my house here in KL kekekeke....Wander what will become of my garden when the "kakak" goes back. The lil bb doesnt' seem to have the born talent of taking much care of flowers...rather, she plucks them and plays with it...*sigh*
Anyway, overall, today's not such a bad day - except for the very hot weather here these past 2 days.

Absolute Vodka...it kills!
Haha..the title and pics speaks all.
Well, that was the comment after we all had the drink that night. As the taste and drink was smooth to consume, without us realizing it, it just suddenly *knocked* us out..well, my cousin "KO-ed" that night. They underestimated the "harmless" tasting vodka, that they had way too much than they could handle. hehehe...*better not show the totally gross pics here though* I only had a glass, cos I was the back-up driver - no damage done there...
Hot Sizzling Dizzy Day
Anyway, just flipped through some pix on my bro's pc and found few nice photos to post. It's actually last yrs pics but..what the heck.. Here's one with me & my hubby at Shakey's Mid Valley. Was so hungry, felt like eating that giant pizza behind us.
*coming up next - pix with my cousin from US during his trip to M'sia*

Sick Cold Rainy Days
Anyway, due to this recent wet situations, it has always been a daily routine for my cute bb to stay indoors mostly. Her most favourite daily routine on normal days of course, would be to visit the nearby playground, where she would cycle round and round without fail. These days however, she has found something more challenging to do - doodle-ling *or meaning drawing-lah
Oh well, hope to recover fast and soon to get back to work and back to some daily routines. Not forgetting to have more stuffs to blog.
p/s: Thanks to a very nice friend who has recently encouraged me to *blog* my thoughts. I think, it is really nice and fun to do.
