Hubby: Papa Bear & Goldilocks

This is a rare scene where Papa Bear surrendered his hot porridge to Goldilocks in the land far far away... Shh! Please don't tell King of Never Never Land.



"Give Me Your Porridge, Papa Bear!"

Back to reality... *sprinkles of golddusts...* It's Anne feeding session, this time with loving Daddy. Anne like to watch ASTRO Xiao Tai Yang (XTY) during her feeding time (well, it's a form of distraction for Anne to sit down quietly...)



Yah, Spell It Out For You So That You Know What The Chinese Character Means..

Mummy also have to make sure Anne gets enough exposure on English programmes as well. Better still, parler Francais ler...

Veron: Left Hand Drive

Yesterday, we went back to Wangsa Maju for a badminton game. We stumbled upon a Proton Wira with left hand drive at the traffic light junction near our alma mater. We questioned about the left hand driving in the roads of Malaysia on how is the driver...

• ...pay the toll (unless he has a SMART TAG)?
• ...get a parking ticket is he enters the parking lot in shopping malls or his office perhaps?
• ...shocking discovery by the fast food fellow when he's talking to an empty seat?

Of course all of the above only applies when he is driving alone. This reminds me of a story related to me by my then French teacher, Christine. She took her family for a holiday in Melaka. She was too used to left hand driving back in France and she forgotten that she's in Malaysia! She drove to the road where the vehicles will be coming from the opposite direction. Luckily there were no cars coming. Phew! Back to the Proton Wira, is it worth to import such car to Malaysia (unless it has a sentimental value to the owner...)?

Tzyy Anne: Oral-B(aby)

Mummy is training Anne on how to brush teeth, now that Anne has 4 teeth (2 big upper teeth, 2 lower teeth - middle). Mummy bought Anne 3 training toothbrushes. Every night before bedtime, Anne will watch Daddy brush teeth (yes, live demo).


Step 1: Put The Toothbrush In the Mouth


Step 2: Brush Thoroughly


Step 3: Check and See, Any Gold Stuck In There...

Good Anne, keep it up. Good oral hygiene will lead to sparkling teeth like...

Veron: Maths & Science Issue

Currently we are caught in a heated discussion on the teaching of Maths & Science should be in what language. In my opinion, these 2 subjects should be taught in English. (Yes, I casted my vote in Tun's blog) I watched Astro TVIQ (an educational channel on the cable network) that day and they were talking about triangles. I did not know that segitiga sama kaki is known as isosceles triangle in English.




Isosceles Triangle


Imagine your kids do not have all these basics when they are doing their tertiary education. I remember when I was in college, I had a coursemate who attended Chinese Independent school. She learnt all the college syllabus math in her secondary days already. Therefore, when the math subjects was taught, it was like a revision for her. Question from a concerned rakyat, is the world coming to an end that we have to go backwards now?

Hubby: Heat Rub

I gave Hubby heat rub treatment yesterday. Yes, he overworked his biceps, as usual during his gym session. Yes, Hubby is into his gym routine again in an attempt to lose his weight. Hubby used to indulge in gym activities during college days. Since he entered work force, apparently his built up muscles has turned into F.A.T. On top of being a CEO (Chief Entertainment Officer) at work (yes, more beer sessions with customers), his belly has blossomed into 6-in-1 muscle pack and looked inflated. Back to the rub rub session, I applied a balsem recommended by the Fakawi Tribe. It is called Balsem Cap Tiga Kaki (3-Legged Brand Balsem).


Mujarab...


It's a yellow ointment, with strong menthol smell, gave Hubby instant relief and determination to continue with his gym routine. A product highly recommended by me. And Hubby, any thoughts to endorse this product?

Tzzy Anne: First Social Event

Uncle Jimmy (Mummy's colleague) invited us to Tjoe Derr's birthday party. It was the first party that Anne ever attended. Well, Mummy guess Anne was having a great time. With all the helium-filled balloons attached to the chairs, it made Anne felt excited. Anne should be the youngest at the party as most of the kids there were able to walk and taste the food there. The birthday boy wasn't too happy that day as he seemed not interested in taking pictures with everybody in front of his cake. His Daddy actually gave him a grape to keep his mouth busy...Mmmm. Daddy carried Anne to take some soy milk which is near the Ais Kacang machine.


ABC Monster Machine


Anne was intimidated by the machine's noise. Well, she had a bit of a drama. Eventually, Anne knew that the machine is not here to eat her. Mummy is not surprised that the cone hat stayed quite long on Anne's head as she did feel proud of wearing the purple headband with pink flower. Anne also had her first taste of Yakult, thanks to Uncle Jimmy.


Yakult Also Got So Many Version Ka...


Didn't like it at first though (after the tasting session, projected the usual shivering expression...). Shivering got lesser as more sips was given later...Hmm, not that bad after all.

Mummy, it's my turn in 2 months time... Please organize a party that will make Paris Hilton jealous... o.O



Mummy, Your Flash Too Bright Lah...

Veron: The Collector

I just read bro's blog. I didn't realised that Mom had so many 'ducks' at home. She is a collector of decorative items. You name it...porcelein small cute stuffs of animals, dolls, bottles, vases, even McDonald's Happy Meal merchandise (yes, we used to have 1 big cabinet full of them!). Of course, the latter one was when we were small kids. I remembered once when McDonald's came out with Hello Kitty dolls.


Was Wanted, Once Upon A Time...

Boy that was hot but I am not in the craze. Adults (Adeline, you know, I know ah...) would lined up on the weekly release of the item and will be sold out by that day itself! Well, for your information, I think they were selling at RM9.90 for one. Very lucrative business for a fast food chain. I somehow love to collect cigarettes & Coca Cola from across the world.


Death Sticks


Now that I don't travel anymore, I would ask my bro who likes to travel now to get me these stuffs. I know places like The Curve's weekend bazaar do sell collector's edition of Coca Cola but I prefer to get from the place of origin myself. Sometimes, my brother-in-laws do contribute cigarettes to my collection as they occasionally travel overseas for work trips. Think of getting me souvenirs from your overseas trip? Hint hint... >.<
