Veron: Long Weekend

30/4/2009 (Thursday): Took Anne to clinic for general checkup. Anne is now 7.2 kg and 67cm tall. We sat behind an Indian mother and son (Son about 1 year plus). He looked at Anne and said, "Ama, thumbi." The mother then said, "Ya, thambi." Well, that shows Anne doesn't looked like a girl at all. I would like to correct her but I was thinking, "Nevermind, forget it".

1/5/2009 (Friday): 4am - Depart from Bukit Jalil for Penang to visit 4th Uncle and family. 9 of us, family members sat on 2 Hondas...the old Accord and the new City. Me, Anne, Hubby, ZhuinLi Goo Goo and Sam Suk (the driver) were on the Honda City. Anne's car seat was on the left passenger seat behind, I was sandwiched in the middle and Hubby was at the right passenger seat behind. As the new Honda City was a sporty type of car, it was super cramp behind.

We reached Penang about 8.30am. Tired and hungry, 4th uncle and family took us for breakfast immediately. They took us to the famous hawker centre in Pulau Tikus. We ate like the Klump family. 4th uncle ordered

• 8 bowls of curry mee
• 8 plates of fried Kuey Teow
• 2 plates of banana & raisin pancakes
• 2 big plates of Ho Fun
• 4 plates of Poh Piah

We stayed at 4th uncle's place. Hubby, Papa, Ngee Suk & Sam Suk went for 18th hole golf in Kulim in the afternoon. Later for lunch, 4th uncle took us (Me, Anne & Ah Ngien) for lunch at Gurney. Another feast again...

• 1 big bowl of crab porridge
• 1 big bowl of vermicelli in broth with fish
• 1 big plate fried vermicelli
• 2 plates of stir fried vegetables with toufoo
• 1 plate of Tau Chew steamfish

For dinner, it was another feast yet again in Hong Kong hawker centre...

• More Curry Mee
• More Prawn Mee
• More Fried Kuew Teow
• More Stir Fried Squid and Vegetables
• More Fried Oyster
• More Lo Bak

It was eat until you drop session! Yah, all of us 'dropped' the next day, left us all lethargic.. Oh yah, before that...

2/5/2009 (Saturday): 11am - Breakfast at a dimsum restaurant. Another session of makan...

• More dim sums (I mean more...)
• 1 big bowl of Ho Fun with fish
• 1 big plate of Fried vermicelli
• 2 plates of Stir fried vegetables

4pm - We left Penang to Sungai Petani for Tai Po birthday celebration. The dinner was I guess about 8-10km from Tai Po's house. Our dinner consists of 3 tables. The restaurant deco was quite nice but there's more to the nice interior. Underneath the table was infested with hungry mosquito (Maybe there is not many customers around the other time because that day was a day for people to celebrate Mother's Day...), the service was very the slow and poor (8 dishes in 3 hours). Me and Anne missed the cake cutting ceremony for Tai Po as Anne was getting cranky (It was almost 11pm). We went to bed by then.

3/5/2009 (Sunday): Suddenly I was awaken by Hubby saying that we are leaving for KL soon. I looked at the clock..it was half passed midnight. I thought our plan was to leave at 4am.. Hubby said the earlier, the better. Deja vu... I was having plugged ducts on my right tank, I was thinking to 'settle' by morning. We left in 30 minutes after that. 4 of us was in the Honda City (Good Grief!). I can't really dozed off as I have to empty my tanks. Anne was too tired, she doesn't have the energy to empty the tanks which left me to have plugged ducts on the left tank pulak..argh. We reached KL about 4.30am. And I was all exhausted. We dozed off again untill 12pm. There goes our weekend...
