Updated: Check out Malaysia Today for some gossip. The part where they say why Kak Endon refuse to come back from US for her treatment really sadens me. And so, now his sil is his wife and his nephew/niece is his stepchildren.

In conjunction with the Agong’s (King’s) Birthday last Saturday, Hubby suggested we eat out at The Lobsterman in SS2, PeeJay. You think he’s too patriotic issit?

Alamak, photo editing skill a bit cacat today. I have a bad hair day for the above pic. Thought wanna diversified your attention to the lobster. This is not the biggest in the whole wide world but I’ve never seen such a H.U.G.E lobster before!

Do order a charboiled if you wanted to taste the authentic taste of lobster meat. That night, we had:

• Lobster in XO sauce. It is something similar to kong pou stir fried.
• For the kids, they had Lobster and seafood rice. To be corrected, the kids had the R.I.C.E and adult wallop all the lobster!
• Lobster with fruits yogurt
• Two serving of salmon pasta
• Garlic escargoat
• Two serving of Charboiled lobster (the one in the pic)

… and so all the food is gone now, and the red wine too. What are we waiting for? Dessert! We ordered gelato. It came as Green Tea Gelato. We can’t argue right? We should have ask for their flavour. I gave that a miss cos Green Tea gelato or green tea ice cream is not my cuppa tea.

… and so….

… errr….

….errr, I am dem shy la!

… how to put it la….

Nah, read for yourself!

Shy la. Just shy. So old liao wanna announce to the whole wide world that it’s my birthday. To add on to the shyness and paisehness, this New York Cheesecake was from Ms Anonymous! I can’t revealed mia name. Thank you BIG-BIG Ms Annonymous 🙂 . When the waiters and waitresses brought out the cake, they was singing the international birthday song. And you know the line where they go… “…Happy Birthday to XXX”, they pause a bit and was looking at the name on the birthday cake. Hubby quickly tell them “Jessie”. I almost fall off my chair laughing!

So now you know the Agong and Queen share the same birthdate 😉

I have readers in doubt of this Photo Hunter madness thingy that I particated every week. If you are interested to join in the fun, check out TNChick for instructions and some rules and regulation. Basically, we go snap pics based on the theme that was given on her site and post them up on Friday night (our time will be Saturday morning la). Got it now, Jazz? 😉

Well, for this week theme I kinda cheated a bit. Instead of art, I’m showing craft!

I’m using Boungainvillea as they won’t turn brittle. Basically, you use a crayon and draw a tree & branches then smear glue on the Boungainvillea and paste it on your artwork.

Happy Crafting 🙂

p/s: Tomorrow is Agong’s (King’s) birthday *cough*. Enjoy your holiday and your weekends. XOXO

Last weekend was my Dad’s 69th birthday. As usual, we will book a place for makan (eat) preferably in a private room so that the kids can run wild without distracting other patronage.This year, we had the dinner in Palace of The Golden Horses.

Every year, the number of family members is increasing tremendously. I’m talking about baby boom! From one grandchild to three, then 5, then 9! Next year, my dad shall have a new addition of family members. That is a big number of 10! And of course Dad will have a big bash when he is 70! Wow! Look at all the numbers here.

My wishes for Dad is 白头偕老 夀比南山
(white head till old aka Longivity) and 身体健康(Good health).

~~~***…***~~~

Of course we camwhore!

We took turn to pose with my parents and Prince insisted that he wanted to be a Superman.

There we go, Superman! *sigh… Then, he wants to be a Spiderman! Aiyah, we quickly shoo him away. Ka-ka-ciau-ciau (disturbing) only.

While at the lobby, we camwhore a bit too. These are my favourite photos.

With Mom and Youngest Sis (psst… still single and available!)

Ever since I started blogging, my parents kinda accept my siaoness in photography. For example:

“Ma, what time are you cooking the fish head curry ah?”

“Soon.”

“Aiyah, wait for me to come first.”

“Why?”

“Want to take photo la.”

“-_-‘

Nowadays, they are more willingly to pose for me.

“Ok, both of you hold hands. Back facing the camera. Head turn back…. Body don’t turn! Only the head!”

Aiyah, like this la…

(psst… my youngest Sis is still single and available)

Of course when I say “like this”, I’m showing my Mom what is captured on the camera’s monitor. Then she will go, “So small. I can’t see la. No spect.” That’s my Mom -_-‘

Not bad hor. Look at the hotel’s corridor and light-up ceiling. Blend well with the lovey-dovey couple. Hmm…. photo a bit bland without decoration.

Let’s see…

Woot!

Recently, I’ve upgraded my Photofiltre version to Studio 9. I’m crazy over the new tools! I love them so much. Of course this one is trial version. Sienz.

What is life like without TeeVee for a week?

Surprisingly, no one put up any grudge except for this poor Mummy who have to deal with more toys lying around the house. Since kids has the bad habit of eating in front of the TeeVee I thought it’s a good opportunity to get them to eat on the dining table. It works for eldest Princess (7 y/o) but not for Prince (5 y/o) who insisted to sit on the floor with his miniature table!

Few days back, Hubby decided to send our Sony to the service centre. He try to hauled the big 29″ ass TeeVee in our Waja but………….. Like I’ve said, it’s a big 29″ ass TeeVee!

Man will always be Man – Instead of putting back the “big ass” on the TeeVee cabinet, Hubby just leave them on the floor.

Kids will always be Kids – What else? 5y/o and 2y/o love to sit on the TeeVee.

Women will always be Women – Expected la. Mummy have to remind them not to play with the TeeVee. The more I reminded them it turns out to be nagging and shouting, “Where is your ear? Can understand or not!” 😳

Finally, after Hubby missed last weekend F1, he decided to set up the projector!

Woot!

Drink coke, Eat popcorn!

This is just a temporary solution. Will definitely move in to LCD TeeVee when we have the budget.

So, who is up for movie marathon? (but have to one, two, som with my kids la. Sien lor)

Lap Cheong aka wax chinese pork sausage.

As I’m still into my health freak week, this is what I did. Instead of deep frying the fishballs, I had them microwave with some lap cheong which was sliced thinly. End of the result, no greasy kitchen and no oily meal plus you get a very flavourful gravy.

The following pictures is quite obscene but I wonder how many of you peel the lap cheong skin before cooking?

Exactly like love rubber >_<

Sibeh obscene can die lidat >_<

Nevertheless, sibeh kau ho chiak!

Firstly, you thought there is limited things around the house that is colourful. As you go about your house doing chores, you tend to find every nooks and corner is filled with colourful things.

• Colourful handmade patch work blankets
• M&M Choco in the fridge
• Candy coated Hershey Kisses
• Tupperware collections
• Legos & toys
• Imitation Croc shoes
• Colourful sprinkles
• Stack of laundries
• Clothes pegs

There’s just so many things to name! Just as I thought I’ve finished compiling colourful things I saw around my house, I saw Princess digging into the cookie jar and was munching away Sugar Topping Biscuits.

Have a colourful weekends ya all and please say hi to your mom for me.

Spiderman 3 – (screening in cinema now)

As well as the challenge that Spiderman faces from the Sandman — he learns of a connection with the murder of his Uncle Ben — a mysterious black substance has turned his Spiderman suit black. It brings forth a darker side of Parker and Spidey that nobody has seen before when he is conveniently infested with an alien parasite. Indeed, the central theme of the film is that even superheroes can have a dark side.

The problem is that even Spiderman’s “evil” side is still hopelessly mild-mannered. We are shown a montage of his sub-Mr Hyde depravities. His hair droops over one eye; he swaggers along the street; he flirts with passers-by; his girl ditches him; and he makes an ass of himself in a nightclub. In short, he behaves like a textbook drunk on any given Saturday night.

A horrifying glimpse into the unspeakable pit of the human soul this is not– source

I would highly recommend this movie. Some claimed that there is not much fighting going on. Halo…. this is not Jet Li kungfu movie, ok. This is Spiderman. The guy that hangs around tall building and goes web swinging.

Pirates of the Caribbean – (Opening nationwide on 25th May)

I did not watch Part 1 or 2 and don’t intend to watch part 3 cos I’m saving up for …..

Fantastic 4 and Harry Potter! – (coming soon in June) I can’t wait 😀

Shrek 3 – (coming soon in June)

Well, not my type of movie. Good thing Hubby volunter to watch it with my 2 eldest. Hopefully the Carnival Sales is still on at that time.

Looks like all the good movie is lining up in June. Gotta mark my calendar and start saving from now on!

Talking about $aving$, our TeeVee finally died on u$ after $erving u$ faithfully for 10 year$ and not forgetting the con$tant abu$ing from the kiddo$ for the la$t 6 year$. Bye bye money and hello new TeeVee. Don’t know $hould be happy or $ad. I’m eyeing on $ony LCD Flat $creen :D. $ay only la. Where to get $o much money.

Once we found out the baby’s gender, immediately Hubby told me he’s going to name her Jia Xin. In Chinese, ‘Xin’ means a role model or someone who is loved by all. If you were to translate both the name to English, it means…. INCREASE SALARY! Next, come to her name to be spelled out. Her middle name took after one of my niece, Kharlene. And I adore my classmate (who is also my best friend back then) named ‘Syn’. To make it a bit special, I combine them and it became Kharsyn.

When my Gynae told us it’s a boy, you can see us beaming in pride, smiling from ear to ear. Again, I leave the decision to Hubby as I’m not good with Mandarin kind of things. He wanted his boy to be a macho man and not the sissy type so he makes sure the name must be like Arnold Schwarzenegger. I don’t quite like how it sounded in Mandarin – Jia Zhen. “Zhen” is a POLITICIAN or government (zhen fu). And there I fancifully thought of ‘Carl’ as in Carlsberg (*hic) and again I adore the name Eugene. That is how I get Carlgene.

I went thru lots of stress during my 3rd pregnancy. A very uneventful pregnancy. Let’s not touch on that. And I want her to be a ‘kwai ler’ (HAPPY) child. At that time, the name Charlotte (pronounced as Shar-lert) was frequently mentioned in the papers and internet. That is how I get Kharlette (pronounced as Car-lert). At home, we called her ler-ler as in happy-happy. She is indeed a babbly happy child.

The busybody Eastcoastlife tagged me on this. My turn now to be busybody. I shall tag…

1. Sue Yi’s papa
2. Karen & Cayden’s mama
3. My nephew

I have no idea who to tag as most of you has been tagged! Glad to say, the tag ends here.

To complete the answer to my quiz here – this is ME! I know I looks like a boy 🙁 but when 58% of you guess that is was my Hubby, that makes me wanna cry! Want to know what is the meaning of my name? My last name is “Zhang”. It’s a boy name 😐 . I can’t blame my parents as they are longing for a baby boy and hence, decided to gave me a boy’s name in hope their next child will be a boy just to dissapoint them again and again. During my childhood days, I have some chinese educated friends sarcastically telling me my name is meant for boys. Now I can tell them my name is on par with Zhang Ziyi. *ngek, ngek, ngek

So, does any of my children resemble me when I was a baby, jek?

The first correct answer was given by Lilian. Yes, you are right! Well done, Sweetie 😉 . Thanks for playing the guessing game folks. xoxo

Can you tell who is who?

Answer will be given tomorrow 🙂
