Was at Batu Ferringhi today. Went up to my dads friend's apartment to swim at the pool. They had a slide there, which made lil monkey really excited to play on. It was about 4pm, but it wasn't hot at all, or rather the water was very cold cos the sun at that area was blocked by the apartments. (the apartment we went is just beside the uplands international school)
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
Ho Ho Ho...Merry X'mas to everyone (first and foremost)!~
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
This morning was out to Taman Free School market for breakfast with parents and the lil monkey. As usual, my mother (being the shop-a-holic she is), saw a stall selling children's clothing and went over to see it right away.
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 ?
hahaha...well, actually...it's kinda weird having start to re-paint again. The first few art pieces was totally terrible as far as my crappy rusty art skills are concerned. Probably also due to the fact I lack patience, and have no "connection" nor liking to the pix chosen...hopefully I can somehow overcome it.
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
Finally went to the beach after so long. Luckily no bright hot sun, just the wind & splashing of waves. Lil monkey had a great time since it is officially her first time at the beach. *dang...no camera to take these down*
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
Well, I did have a short walk, cos my parents insisted on bringing the lil monkey to build her sand castle there. Actually, what really happened was we saw a medium sized monitor lizard walking along the sandy beach of Gurney - not worrying about being swept away by the sea or anything though..it was still low tide.
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...
16th Jan 2007 - The Day That Will Be....or might 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
The first day I reached Penang, I swore I could've melted right away...*phew*...it's amazing how people in Penang can cope up with such weather...not even ice / ice cream is helping...making it worst...=(
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 ~
Well..technically.
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...
