Hot Air Balloon Ride, a New and Exciting Experience

Last Saturday we went to Dijaya sales night of semi-d at Villa Green 3A, Damansara Indah Resort Homes, Petaling Jaya called “Wine & Dine Night”. These semi-d are the Super 3-Storey Fairway Villas with over 6,000 sq.ft. built-up area; which is even larger than many bungalows! Besides the wine and food, the attraction was the Hot Air Balloon.

Upon arrival, we registered ourselves and met up Vicki & family. Thanks for the invitation, Vicki! :)

Teng Hong has his eyes glued to the Hot Air Balloon as soon as we arrived. He was so excited and insisted that we go for the ride before we even have dinner. He kept saying to mummy that he wanted to go into the basket and fly high up. So daddy took him for the ride. Of course mummy and Xin Yi went too. So did Vicki and her daughter, Ashley.

It was a long queue. We waited for about 20 minutes and guess what happened when our turn finally came…?
.

Teng Hong suddenly changed his mind; he chicken-ed out and refused to get into the Wicker Basket (the basket which carries the passengers). He even cried when daddy tried to carry him into Wicker Basket for the ride. He was scared that the flame would burn him. Daddy had no choice but to accompany Teng Hong on the ground while mummy, Xin Yi, Vicki and Ashley went for the “RIDE”. Xin Yi started to cry on the way up, mummy was not sure why she cried; probably because of the heat (it is very hot while riding on the Hot Air Balloon). The balloon flew up about 10-15 meters and the whole ride was probably only 2-3 minutes.

Anyway we enjoyed it very much, a new and exciting experience.

Back to the “Wine & Dine Night”, beside the Hot Air Balloon, there were two clowns to entertain the children and also a live band which daddy always enjoyed…

Presents for Teng Hong

Early morning Teng Hong asked daddy to buy him a present. It was not for his birthday; his birthday is still a long way to go, he just wanted a present, that's all!

Daddy didn't promise him anything until we went to Toys "R" Us this afternoon. Again Teng Hong requested daddy, "Daddy, please buy me a present." Daddy then agreed to buy him a small present, SAND ART with a Mickey Mouse's Happy Birthday picture. Daddy also bought one SAND ART with a dog picture for Xin Yi.

Since he has done well in his school for the past few weeks, mummy thought of buying him a better toy and suggested the TRANSFORMERS to daddy. We then let him choose ...

Finally Teng Hong went home with the TRANSFORMERS AUTOBOT & DECEPTICON.

What a Happy day for him!

A Special Gift from Medan for My FIL

Besides clothes and prawn/fish crackers, guess what I usually get from my hometown for my father in law?

.

It’s a local (Medan) papaya.

The papaya shown in the picture was a Hawaii Solo papaya, I forgot to snap the Medan papaya.

Every time I went back to my hometown, I never failed to bring back a papaya for my father in law; he loves Medan papaya very much. According to him, unlike the local papaya in Malaysia which has sweet smell only, Medan papaya smells good, it got papaya smell which he likes but my hubby and my sister in law dislike, hehe… Compare to Hawaii Solo papaya, he still prefer Medan papaya.

So next time when you get chance to visit Medan, don’t forget to try the local papaya… :)

Xin Yi @ 22 months

Xin Yi turned 22 months four days ago. She hasn’t been feeling well lately, got very bad cough and flu since two weeks ago, sorethroat and fever for more than three days. Mummy couldn’t wait any longer and brought her to see the paediatrician (Dr. Koe). Last two weeks when we visited Dr. Koe’s clinic, there were more than 20 patients in the queue, so instead of waiting, mummy managed to buy the medicine only.

After checked Xin Yi, doctor said her lung was clear and prescribed her the cough/cold and phlegm medicine plus antibiotic. Mummy tried to negotiate with doctor to leave out the antibiotic, but she said that she afraid it could be developed into pneumonia, so no choice, Xin Yi needed to take the antibiotic.




@ 22 months:

Her diet remained the same as previous month, weight 11.7kg and height 85.5cm. Teeth quantity is still 16. Lately she is more willing to let mummy brush her teeth and at the same time she is learning to brush her front teeth.


Her development:

• still learning colors
• still learning to hop
• still learning to put on clothing, sometime she can do it by herself
• likes to dance
• started to imitate the action that she saw in TV, like: the action of the mouse when she watched “Out of the Box” from “Playhouse Disney Channel”
• can count from 1 to 5, for other numbers she can say till 10 but not in sequence
• can write 1 and draw circle. She likes to ask mummy to hold her hand to write
• can name pictures in a book / flash cards, like: balloon, camera, carrot, orange, tiger, lion, spider, etc
• when people told her to stop doing the dangerous act, she would cry
• can hold urine longer (for 2-3 hours), sometime she will let us know that she wants to pass urine or pass motion
• knows how to address some of the relatives
• in language wise, she can understand and communicate with us, like:
  “cat sleeping over there”, “no more water inside”, “Yi Yi can not climb”, “my water inside there”, “mummy, where you going, want to follow”, “kor-kor make rosak”, “I don’t like”, “I did it”, “Yi Yi can open it”, etc.

Girls being girls, her language development is pretty fast compare to her kor-kor, mummy still remember, at 23 months her kor-kor could only say one syllable words and a two syllable word, lorry.

During Our Stay in Medan (Part 2)

11th March 2008
We spent our leisure hours at home. In the late afternoon, the kids played together, had fun at the terrace. Then at night, my brother took us to a place near “Rumah Susun” (apartment) in ”Sukaramai” for supper. This place has become a famous food centre, one can find many varieties of local (Medan) food here, like: Nasi Tim, Kari Bihun, Yong Tahu, Sate Padang, etc.

12th March 2008
Today we experienced power cut from 12.00 midnight to 4am. The only fan working was the “hand fan”. I have not seen it for more than a decade… :)

Teng Hong felt sick; he vomited for a few times since midnight and lost his appetite. Poor boy, I fed him medicine and my Sister in Law’s maid massaged his whole body, to expel “wind”.

A friend’s (Angela) mother came to visit around noon and wanted to take us for lunch; unfortunately Teng Hong was sick.

That night the children had fun with the blowing balloon, they blew it and sticked one to another to make a Teddy bear with the help of their uncle.



13th March 2008
Teng Hong was better, we went to my brother’s shop… guess what Teng hong got for present?
.
.
.
.
.
.

a Spiderman costume

We later went to Medan Mall Time Zone to have fun.
I also managed to get an Indonesia Kindergarten song (Lagu Taman Kanak-Kanak) CD.



In the evening Teng Hong vomited again and so did Xin Yi, each of them vomited twice. Aiseh!

14th March 2008
We went to Pasar Beruang, a wet market at our residential area. I haven’t been there since I moved to Kuala Lumpur. It’s still the same, not much has changed.

15th March 2008
It was Saturday, my friend, Lily came and we went to Thamrin Plaza. She bought us lunch at Texas Fried Chicken, there was a slide and the kids had lunch and fun. After lunch I visited my relative at Pasar Ramai, located next to Thamrin Plaza.




In the late afternoon my friend, Fang and her hubby came to visit us.

At night Che and family wanted to take us to shopping, but Teng Hong refused to go when he saw uncle Tony (Che’s hubby). *roll eyes*

Later we went with my brother and his friends to Hypermart Palladium. There was a “great deal sale” at Hypermart for today only, 15% discount for all purchases with Bank Mandiri credit card.

16th March 2008
We went to Sun Plaza with Che and her daughter, Christine. I bought some CDs, VCDs and children story books. Che bought us lunch, this time at Texas Fried Chicken again, since there was a slide for the kids to have fun, hehe…

So coincidence there was a wedding gowns show at Sun Plaza; looking at this show has brought back memories when I was a bride, sigh..

Fun with En En jie-jie

Page Rank

Never checked my Page Rank for so long, I just found out that I got PR 2 from Google PageRank Checker, yahooooo!

For more information on How is PageRank calculated! Click here.

Before I signed up with Pay Per Post, I didn’t know that Page Rank is so important for blogs which get paid for blogging, eventhough I read about that in other blogs. One can only get opps if they have certain PageRank, and basically the higher the pay, the opps will require higher PageRank. Yesterday I saw quite a few opps in PPP which pay USD135/opp, but require minimum PageRank 6 or 7, USD35-55 with minimum PR 5, etc.

So what should we do to increase our PageRank?

During Our Stay in Medan (Part 1)

It has been a month since we went back to Medan, still fresh in my mind how excited we were on that day (the departure day), not only my kids, I felt very excited as well. This time we stayed at bho-bho’s old house, a house where I spent my 28 years of life before moved to a new house and then got married to Malaysia. It really brought back lot of memories.

9th March 2008:
We spent the next morning chatting with the family and let the children warm up. There were 5 kids in the house, 3 from my brother and 2 from me. Just imagine how busy we were with the kids. Apart from the right leg pain, my mum was doing well; my brother and family were fine too.

We then went to a nearby shopping centre “Yang Lim” to buy some stuff for the Steamboat party (for our lunch and dinner). I never been to “Yang Lim”, it just opened 2 years ago. We went there by “Becak Mesin” (trishaw equipped with motorbike at the side). This was the first time Teng Hong and Xin Yi rode on a Becak and they enjoyed it very much …

Teng Hong and En-En ride on a "Becak Mesin"

It was late afternoon when my friend Che and her daughter came; she took us to IKIP Medan swimming pool to let the children play. Looking at this place, it brought back memories to the years when we were still single; we (Che and I) used to come here to swim on Sunday or public holiday, as part of our exercise program.

Teng Hong and Christine

10th March 2008:
It was Monday. We followed my sister in law to send the 2 daughters to school. They are in Kindergarten, in Indonesia we call it Taman Kanak-Kanak (TK). The school is a well-known private school in Medan with a very big compound, they have so many classes and there are about 40 students in a class, 1 teacher and 1 teacher assistant for each class. I really salute the teachers, they can handle so many students.

After that we went to pay a visit to my relatives, Sa Emm & family and She Pak & She Emm (in Hokkien), had a chat with my cousin sisters before went to Medan Mall to buy some snacks.

Xin Yi fell asleep on the way home.

Later at 4pm, took Teng Hong to dentist, drg.Betty Laut who is my ex university friend. Teng Hong has had toothace since last week. The dentist couldn’t do anything to the tooth, but to prescribe him the pain killer only.

After the dentist visit, we went to Lili’s house, my ex colleague who stays nearby the dentist’s clinic and then to Jenny’s house, my ex school friend, who stays nearby too. We went home by “Becak Mesin” after Teng Hong refused to go into my friend’s car when he saw her husband, Johan.

Poor boy, mummy doesn’t understand why he scares of men other than the family members. *roll eyes*

Cheng Beng Festival

Cheng Beng, also known as Tomb Sweeping Day is the Chinese All Souls Day, a day to remember and honor one’s ancestors at grave sites. It is one of the most important festival in the Chinese calendar.

This year Cheng Beng festival falls on April 4th. Generally, 10 days before and after the actual date of Cheng Beng is acceptable to honor the ancestors at the temples, grave sites or crematoriums.

Click here for more details.

After 5 years couldn’t make it, this year when I was in Medan, together with Teng Hong, Xin Yi, my brother and sister in law, we went to three places for cheng beng, those are: Kedai Durian cemetery, Tanjung Morawa cemetery and temple at Tanjung Morawa (can’t remember the name of the temple). There we offered some food, tea, candles and joss sticks, burned some paper-money and paper-accessories for our ancestors.






Back to Kuala Lumpur, last Sunday the whole family also went for cheng beng at Cheras cemetery, here we offered flowers only.

I Miss Daddy

Lately Teng Hong missed his daddy so much. When he didn’t see him for a day, he would ask mummy:

th : mummy, where is daddy?
mm : go to … to work
th : why it takes so long for daddy to come back ?
mm : it’s very far, daddy got something to do for a few days, so it takes time for him to come back
th : huh huh, I miss daddy, I want daddy :(

Yeah, since joined another company in the same line early this year, daddy needs to travel more. Last week he just came back from Yemen after a week of site visit, this week he is in New Delhi. This is his second visit to New Delhi within the past two months, and will only come back next week.

As for Xin Yi, she doesn’t really bother about it as long as mummy is there with her. :)

Cancellation of Dental Treatment under GA

At the previous visit to Dr. Anna at Pusat Pergigian University Malaya, Teng Hong was scheduled to have dental treatment under General Anaesthetic (GA) on 8th April 2008 and mummy doubted it.

There are many objections come from family and friends, said that it is unnecessary to extract the teeth at the moment while they don’t trouble him much.

At last, after seek for a second opinion from mummy’s friend who is a dentist and have a talk with daddy, mummy decided to cancel the treatment.

Mummy then called Dr. Anna to cancel the appointment.
