Taiping Zoo

We went to Taiping Zoo on Sun morning; right after a week of ah chor's passing. We had our breakfast at Island Glades before starting our journey. Mummy brought some snack and bread; where we enjoyed it during our journey.

Emeryn got so excited upon stepping into the zoo; where we hopped onto the train that brought us around on the wheel with some introduction. After the train journey, we decided to explore the zoo on our feet. Emeryn excitingly feed the birds and fishes with the bread that mummy brought along. She was also given the opportunity to feed the wallabies by the zookeeper but she dares not go near to the wallabies. She also requested to have the cobra photograph with her but mummy disallowed her.

We had a fun-tastic time even though we sweat heavily. We reached home at about 3.30pm.

The Grieving Moment

On last Sun daddy decided to bring Emeryn out to Taiping Zoo. We had our breakfast at downtown before starting our journey. We reached at about 11am and the bad news broke as soon as mummy received 8 missed calls on her mobile. Mummy called back only to informed that ah chor has passed away peacefully at the ofh. Without getting into the zoo, we drove back. Mummy cried uncontrollably during the whole journey back. Many questions ran through mummy's mind and keep flashing in and out such as how could ah chor dies since she looked perfectly fine a day before, is that a natural death or accidental, how could ah chor leaves before having all of us by her side and etc.

It was a real bad moment, a moment that mummy has never prepared to go through. Mummy's heart broke into pieces each time ah chor's face resembled in her mind. Mummy cried so badly upon stepping into ah chor's room at the ofh and her body was covered with a yellow prayers cloth and we were not allowed to touch ah chor. How mummy wish to kiss ah chor goodbye and hold her tight for once before parting with ah chor!!! This is the second time mummy mourned over the loss of her closest family since 15years ago where mummy lost her grandpa. Mummy regretted for not doing enough for ah chor, for not visiting her more often, for not spending more time accompanying her and for not telling her how much mummy loves her.

We brought ah chor's body to Mt. Erskine Funeral Parlour where we placed her peacefully for all the close relative to pay their last respect to ah chor. The funeral was held on Thurs morning where we sent ah chor off for her last journey with our most heavy and reluctant heart. That day marked the day we finally lost sight of ah chor. Goodbye, ah chor and may you rest in peace. We will always love you. You may be gone but you will always remain deep in your heart and soul.

Photo Shoot @ De'Santia

For the past week, Emeryn attended nursery for only half morning session as mummy decided to enroll her to You & Me for the next semester starting 13th June. Emeryn spent her afternoon at Pekaka for the whole week, going for her tuition in the afternoon. On Wed nite, daddy brought Emeryn to Mc Donalds and came home with a set of kid’s meal. Ended up mummy was the one finishing all 6 pcs of nuggets and Emeryn choose to have her milk instead.

Mummy took half day leave on Fri afternoon where she booked an appointment with De’Santia Bridal house for Emeryn’s photo shoot. Initially Emeryn was suppose to go for a movie outing with her school mate but last minutes, they decided to go for a much later movie where Emeryn has to missed it. She was a little bit upset for not getting to join them for the movie. We reached De’Santia at 3pm and the make up artist started to apply some light make up on Emeryn. We took almost half of the photo before daddy joined us much later. Emeryn was very co-operative initially but at the last shoot, she was a bit cranky. We did not managed to finished up with a good shoot at the last session. Mummy spent almost 2 hours deciding on which photo to be selected in the album. We left De’Santia at about 7pm and bought home nasi lemak as our dinner. It was a tiring photo session and we spent the rest of the night at home.

Mummy sent Emeryn to Art Class on Sat morning before she drove to Air Itam to visit ah chor. Mummy stopped by for a quick breakfast before getting ah chor some dim sum. Toki Ee Ee and her bf meet mummy at the ofh later. Ah chor seemed happy and enjoyed her dim sum a lot. Mummy and Toki Ee Ee even joked with her not knowing that it was the last time we saw ah chor. Mummy left ofh at about 11.40am and rushed to pick Emeryn up from the art class. We bought lunch back home and Emeryn watched her new dvd before mummy sent her to Smart Reader at 3.30pm.

We went back home for a short break before driving out for our dinner at Rumah Perut, a nyonya cuisine for Father’s Day dinner. It was a late dinner at 9pm and we went home straight after our dinner.

Family Time

Mummy and her fellow colleagues went to Chilis for Uncle Charles's farewell. As usual, Emeryn tagged along. Emeryn was given a chance to play some game on You Ying's new ipad 2 too.

Last Sat was a public holiday, thus art class and smart reader class were off. We went for late lunch before dropping at the camera shop as mummy needed to seek some advice on her brand new toy. We drove along the bank's street where mummy did her banking thingy before we went home. Later in the evening, daddy fetched us to Cititel Hotel where we attended his high school mate's wedding. We went off before the last course was served as Emeryn was feeling sleepy and started showing us her grumpy face.

Whilst on Sun noon, we had our lunch at Spring @ Egate before dropping at old folks home to visit ah chor. Ah chor looked so much better being at the new ofh. We stayed there for awhile before adjourning to Gurney Plaza before mummy pampered herself with hundreds of ringgit on her skincare product. We reached por por's house about 7.30pm and had our dinner there. Mummy's aunties and uncles were around too, both coming as far as KL and Ipoh. Their sole purpose of coming to Penang was to visit ah chor. Por por invited them over for dinner before they drove back to Ipoh. Mummy was so caught up with her conversation till we stayed up to 9pm. On our way home, mummy searched for "bak chang" to satisfy her craving and after driving for almost 45mins, she finally got it at Jelutong market. Mummy also bought durian home, where both mummy and daughter enjoyed the durian almost immediately upon reaching home.

New Wardrobe & BBQ Nite

new wardrobe

@ Aunty SuChing's place

For the past 1 week, Emeryn was facing her school exam. Mummy sat through with Emeryn in the evening for her revision before hitting the bed. Amazingly Emeryn surprised mummy during her Mandarin revision with recognizing so many Chinese characters. Even teacher Ginna acknowledge the same fact.

Emeryn attended art class on Sat morning while mummy went to visit another kitchen design shop when Emeryn was at the class. We reached home at about 12.30pm and waited for the wardrobe delivery. Finally Emeryn got a brand new and bigger wardrobe for all her clothing. Mummy spent the whole afternoon decorating the new wardrobe. Mummy was so much more excited compare to Emeryn. Later mummy sent Emeryn to Smart Reader and she went back home to prepare for the bbq nite at aunty SuChing's place.

Mummy picked Emeryn from Smart Reader at 5.40pm and we headed home to pack for the fun-filled evening. Emeryn joined Hui Ying, Hui Siang, You Ying, Ray Hom and Ray Yern for a swim before we filled our hungry tummies with the yummy food prepared by Aunty SuChing's mom. Some of us brought along some food to share and mummy prepared melon smoothies. The kids went for another round of water play after some food and the rest of us continued bbq. And the kids played scrabble before adjourning home.

Whilst on Sun, mummy and Emeryn went out for late lunch and proceeded to visit ah chor at ofh before going home for Emeryn's afternoon nap. Later we attended mummy's high school friend's wedding dinner along with daddy at Gurney Hotel. Emeryn behaved perfectly well that nite and received a huge compliment from mummy.
