Crazy craze

While I have no memory of where Jimmy was at that time...and AJ had his eyes glued to Bee Movie, I have decided that it's time. It's time...everyone...mum and son gets crazy. Ok...it's the mum going crazy. Here I come....









I know what you're going to say next, "What's wrong with this mum, eh?". I realised that it's a good time to take photos of me and AJ together as I am the camera-woman most of the time.

On an unrelated note, we had pak ting yuk bak kut teh noodles on the other Sunday. It was supposed to have rice but I have bought noodles and is about to go bad soon. So why not have a try. I fried the noddles a bit to make it crispy a little bit. Humnn...It was OK not really very nice compared to rice. There's definitely no second time.


Speaking of which, I had (still has) a terrible headache and sorethroat since Sunday. I had paracetamols throughout the day. The pain came back everytime the dosage gone. 4 tablets on Sunday and 3 today yesterday. =.= It's indeed terrible. and yesterday evening I was walking like a, I know...you're gonna laugh....,like a grandma...see?...because my legs were so weak and couldn't stand up straight. Oh, poor me. I felt so cold so suddenly every now and then even after 1 hour hiding under my duvet. So, I took paracetamol again, two sweaters and socks to warm myself up to get a good night sleep.

The pain came comes back yesterday this morning again leaving me no choice to take sick leave. T___T So eventually I had to stay at home recuperating. Still have the sorethroat with me but at least it's now better than before. Please let me get better soon~~~~

Edited in red color. Sorry, ladies & gents...

Easter trip 2009 - Stonehenge & Newquay

Day 3 - Stonehenge (12-04-2009)

Yeap, Stonehenge was our last destination before heading home. to meet the Hons which we haven't met for nearly 5 years. We can't wait to meet Xavi ourselves too. Very excited indee~d.

We took the country road instead of the motorway so that we can stop at Stonehenge. The place is full of tourists O.o...not surprisingly though, when it's bank holiday the next day. We didn't bother park our car and go into there walk a circle and listen to the portable hand radio. We couldn't touch the stones with our own hand what. Plus it's basically the same when you took the pictures from the fence outside.
You could see it from a distance
Here for a closer view
*nod nod* The waiting is finally over. *nod nod* They arrived a few hours after we reach home. Gordon is still the same old Gordon. Joline is still the same beautiful Joline. An~d Xavier is new to us. You know what Gordon still remember what we did last summer. "Wah~~ I still remember what you did last summer." He said. "Especially that Nonong" Nonong is an ex-classmate of Jimmy at University and went with us for summer holiday to Leeds, Gordon's place.

==" The story goes like this, we were staying at Gordon's for a few days. On the second / third day, Gordon's plumbing system got sick. Don't know why but the basement were flooded. Flooded with yuckie dirty stuff. Fortunately, we're living on the floors above it. haih...and they're really smelly. We felt really guilty to leave such a mess. and Gordon still remember what has happened until today. haha...

OK, where was I?

Xavi is really cute. He giggles almost everything. haha...I so love all his actions. AJ was a bit shy at first but within minutes AJ and Xavi become best friends. They got really well together. Make me wanna have another baby again ~~~~ =.=


AJ loves Gordon wei...

Here's a video of AJ and Xavi


Day 4 - Newquay (13-04-2009)

It was planned to go to Newquay the next day but Gordon's friend said they shouldn't miss Newquay and since we still haven't been there ourselves, so why not? To our dismay, it was raining when we arrived. We hit a pub straight away since we're hungry.
Hubby's beef & bacon burger with cheese
Gordon's chicken hunters
while AJ sits on the high chair
Xavi in the pushchair taking J2O
Both the couple. I told ya...Joline is pretty neh~~~
Hubby enjoying his lunch
AJ wasn't happy to sit in his highchair too long doing nothing
Aint the beach so awesome?

I love the Newquay beach and we would certainly go there again soon. Soon when the weather is good. Woot~~ Can't wait. haha...

The next day, hubby, AJ and I went back to the normal life, AJ to nursery and the rest to work. While Gordon and the family head off to Eden's project before going back home.

Easter trip 2009 - Westfield

Day 2 - Westfield (11-04-2009)

About 2 hours drive from Stratford, we reach Westfield - the biggest shopping mall in UK, I think. Hmmm....
outside view of the mall - so huge~~~
electronic car park - cool~~~
The tech even goes to map information pod, touch pad screen but wasn't sensitive enough. So, we ended up walking by ourselves using paper map
Lucky hubby huh - me and AJ were in the restaurant at that time.

and guess what! He managed to record a quick snap of their acts. They're imitating their TV character. Very good, I can tell you especially Bart, the younger Simpson


didn't realise they're still producing Cola in their trademark bottle.
burger...very nice~~~
AJ had his 1st taste on Cola
The big easter bunny
AJ: Oii...you come here! come here! at this instant, I said!
Look at the store's ceiling. Very nice~~~
The mall is very big indeed to be honest but we don't have things to buy (not much sales), so we thought let's stop by at the China town for some nice meal. Misato~~~~~ We're not so far away anyway. About 20 mins drive, says the SatNav. Only to reach there after more than an hour drive =.= There was some kind of protest by the Pakis / Indian on stopping the war. or maybe not! Many road were blocks and as such traffic, traffic and traffic. There was no turning back ~~~ haih ~~~ We shall never again drive in London.

You know what, there was once our car didn't move an inch for nearly 10 minutes. We were just in front of a traffic light and we saw the lights turned from red, orange, green, back to red again and again for 4 times! and we still didn't move a bit!!!! Can you believe it? and we were just within 10 minutes walk (15 the most) to the Chinatown! I wish we could just park the car there and walk there straight away.

And there was a stall selling bags just by the street and I saw one I really like while stuck in the traffic. Bright yellow about the same size which cute ma bought for me. Would be great to put my stuff in there. I could have just go down and buy the bag and come back to the car in that kind of traffic. But I don't have cash with me T___T Why is it so hard to get a bag I really like?
Thanks again SatNav while we're stuck in the traffic. =.=
My fav~~~ pork ginger bento from Misato
Right, we only spend 2 hours in Chinatown. The parking was so expensive. Can you believe it? £9 for just 2 hours. Freaking expensive! Of course we didn't have time to sit and have a relaxing meal at Misato. We ordered take away! We managed to hit some groceries shop to get egg tart, wife's biscuits, cup noodles, guava~~~ hoh, I just realised they have guava in UK! my favorite. Guava...again expensive, so only bought tiga biji. T___T We spend a fortune in just that 2 hours. Very scary~~

Right, Travelodge next for a good rest. Without doubt, AJ was so happy running or rather walking excitedly everywhere in the room. and oh, we had to request to change to the next door room because the first room is smell of smoke. Luckily, they have a spare room. AJ enjoyed playing in this small bottom shelf.

Easter trip 2009 - Stratford Upon Avon

Day 1 - Stratford Upon Avon

The town itself is quite small but it's certainly a tourism attraction town. You could see lots of people snapping photos here and there under the rain. Of course, we too... :)



Love this flower bloom at its peak
The house where William Shakespeare was born and grew up
Not forgetting me and AJ
Found this "alive" motionless statue
just a typical restaurant in the town centre
HSBC the old bank - excuse my hair, blame it on the wind
The New Place - where William Shakespeare left the world
Found this lovely garden next to it

Look at the view of the garden, how I wish I own such a nice garden
Next, some light shopping - AJ make himself comfy as well
in the tray it went....opps, nearly
AJ is glued to the TV at the hotel =="

Ah, we did something silly. Actually, we've been fooled. Before we head to the travelodge for the stay, we wanted to stop at Tesco get some cakes or buns for breakfast the next day. So, we hit search for nearest food store in the sat nav which we borrowed from Rudolf. Right, according to the sat nav, the nearest tesco will be about 20 mins drive. hmm..it's must a big tesco so we head off. To our surprise, as we drove according to the map, we're heading towards Birmingham. Birmingham? No, we just wanted to go to a Tesco store. Just a tesco ~~~~

Why oh why? Why couldn't you just bring us to a Tesco..I'm sure there's a tesco in Stratford. We're already in the middle of the journey, so we thought...right...continue the journey anyway. When we arrived, our mouth were wide opened, couldn't believe our own eyes. Rubbing our eyes for a few times, pinching ourself to make sure we're not dreaming....We've arrived Tesco Express (a small store by Solihull, another small town / village nearby) =.= no joking, mate. Tesco Express, the smallest Tesco store =.=

Thanks Sat Nav for wasting our petrol and bringing us to the small store with not much selection on foods. =.= Waste our aweful lots of time. and petrol too! haih...Blame on ourselves also for depending heavily on the sat nav. haih~~~~

But anyway, we're enjoyed the stay. AJ was running & screaming everywhere in the hotel. haha...because he has been sitting in the car and pushchair throughout the journey.

Recycle your unused phone

Hello everyone!

Miss me a lot neh. haha....Sorry for leaving you guys with no news. As mentioned from previous post, we were away from Plymouth and totally no access to Internet. Just the 3 of us enjoyed every moments.

It was a short trip, unexpectedly raining but we missed not much. We arrived Plymouth on Sunday and spend some nice time with the Eh Gordon (greeting everyone with eh not names), beautiful Joline and cute Xavi.

Anyway, I got this when I checked email just now. wah..I'm so happy.


My old phone Nokia 6120 is not working anymore, thanks to AJ so lovingly throwing the phone to the ground while he's having his meal. Nokia 6680, previously owned by hubby, then gave away to Alice which she used a few years in Malaysia. She as well RIP not long after Alice brought her over to UK...obviously thanks to AJ again. =.=

Next, their destination is the bin of course. Not until I saw this promotion offered by Boots the Chemist. Trade in your unused phone for points. Get 300 boots points (1 point for 1p) for faulty mobile. I thought..wahh...then I could get 600 points equivalent to £6. Although it's not much but at least I can get something in return, right? No pain, no gain, mate. haha...

To my surprise, I didn't just get 600..but I got 4697 points. Nice~~~~ very nice~~~~ Now I could redeem those points on some nice goods for FREE. especially on AJ's stuff. AJ medicine's la, nappies la, wipes la, baby food la, la la la...la la la...la la la...haha...

Ok ok....I know I still owe you guys the summary of our Easter trip. Photos are coming soon. Promise!

I have only slept for 5 hours yesterday because we were chatting non stop with Gordon and Joline. Working in the office today was dreadfully long but luckily I have some projects to keep me busy & awake. T___T So am still recovering from inadequate rest. But it was all worth it! I am starting to miss the Hons T___T! Terribly~~~~
