Emeryn was excitedly thrilled with the gift she received where Rapunzel's hair can change to pink and purple by just combing her hair with the special comb filled with icy cold water. Mummy received it on Thurs and can't wait to show Emeryn. 

How to play:

• Use the tip of the brush to stamp her hair with colored stars
• Color magically disappears for unlimited playtime fun
 

Moustache Houze

During our KL trip, mummy left her beloved camera in Carmen Ee Ee's car and she has to go without her camera. Emeryn attended GB Maths on Sat morning. On Sun afternoon, Sherine Ee Ee and her parents came over to Por Por's place for late lunch together. After our meal we hang out at Moustache Houze, the most talk-about place nowadays. It is so common now that we have our family gathering over coffee. The old folks were introduced to those cool places. It was a nice hang out place and we made ourselves at home.

After a late night sleep, we woke up to a beautiful Sunday. As usual Emeryn woke up early on weekend and she fed the fishes in the living hall. She was absolutely so fascinated with the fishes since we don't have any pet at home. We drove Carmen Ee Ee's car out for breakfast while leaving her with her sleep. Mummy dares not drive too far away, fear of getting lost in the "huge" city. We went to Mc Donalds at Centrepoint for breakfast before getting some light snack from 7-11. After getting ourselves readied for our 1st itinerary, Carmen Ee Ee dropped us at the Bird Park. 

Both mummy and Emeryn started their exploration to the world of birds at about 12pm. Upon entering the park, we were greeted by birds from all walks of life. The KL Bird park is also well known as "World's Largest Free-flight Walk-in Aviary". The birds roam freely in the aviary which closely resembles their natural habitat. Emeryn dares not get too near to them though the birds does not disturb the visitors. Sprawling approximately 20.9 acres of verdant valley terrain, the park is divided into 4 zones; Zone 1 and 2 make up the free-flight zone; Zone 3 is the Hornbill Park and Zone 4 is where the birds are placed in separate cages and mini aviaries.

We watched the birds show and eagles feeding during our tour. Surprisingly Emeryn requested to feed the parrots and lorries. Mummy thought Emeryn would be fear getting near the birds but mummy were wrong. In fact Emeryn enjoyed feeding them. We also bought the fish food where Emeryn fed the fishes in the pond. We were totally taken aback and amazed with the magnificent and colorful species there. After spending 3.5hours there, we concluded our tour. 

Aunty Karen came over with her friend to pick us. We went for a late lunch at Damansara Uptown. We chit-chatted awhile before they sent us back to Carmen Ee Ee's home. We went back for a short rest before going out for dinner. We had a quick meal at one of the mamak stall at Bangsar before hopping over to Dip N Dip, a chocolate sweets and coffee house. Mummy was struggling with her bad cough and stuffy nose but managed to pull through the whole nite. It was full when we reached and we waited for about 15mins before getting a table for us.We ordered the famous brownies crepe and fondant to be shared among us. Mummy had hot chocolate and it came with beautiful art on the drinks. All their menus were practically dripping in rich chocolates treats but it ain't too sweet like others. Funnily one of the young guy (might be the teenage son of the owner) kept coming to Emeryn and tries to attract her attention. After a satisfying dessert, we left at about 11pm.

The main highlight of our KL trip was Kidzania. Mummy has heard a lots of positive comments on this place, thus we are so keen to check it out. Prior to the trip, mummy bought an online ticket just to avoid the long queue. We went there on Mon, hoping to avoid the crowded big weekend group. Carmen Ee Ee dropped us half way on her way to work. We have to walked for about 15mins under the hot sun before stopping by for our breakfast. After our breakfast, we took a cab directly to The Curve, as Emeryn was complaining of the hot weather and her tiring feet. We reached Kidzania at 9.25am and the queue has started even before we reached. After all the waiting, we were finally allowed to check in, where Emeryn cashed in her cheque at CIMB and gotten 50 kidzos. 

Her first station was Air Asia flight simulator. After the first station, we bumped into Florence who were also there. They both queued for Nursing Care @ KPJ Specialist before went on separate direction. At Kidzania, Emeryn completed Pharmaniaga Citrex Vitamin Factory, Vitagen & Marigold Milk Factory, Mini Melts Ice Cream Factory, Nursery @ KPJ Specialist Hosp, Media Room (TV3, ntv7, 8TV, TV9 and TV Studio), Air Asia Flight Simulator, Ayam Brand Cooking School, Sony Photo Lab, Dentist, Jail, Police Station, Courthouse, Sushi King Sushi Bar and BHPetrol Service Station. At the end of the day Emeryn collected a total of 102 Kidzos, where she spent 100 Kidzos on a princess hair clip. After checking out from Kidzania, we walked across to Ikea. We spent about 2hours there before Carmen Ee Ee picked us up for dinner. After our dinner, mummy requested to get some rest. She was feeling so sick and need a rest so badly. Mummy ended her day early after helping Emeryn on her shower. Carmen Ee Ee went out with her friend while leaving Emeryn staying awake in the room watching tvb series.

The next morning when mummy wakes up, she saw Emeryn's note pin on the noticeboard. She wrote a short essay with a picture below in BM while mummy was asleep a night before. She drew few more drawings on her own and stick it to Carmen Ee Ee's housemate room. We went out for dim sum breakfast before Emeryn had a quick play at the playground. We went to Times Square for shopping before Carmen Ee Ee dropped us at KL Sentral where we grabbed a shuttle bus to LCCT for a flight home. Unfortunately mummy left her camera at Carmen Ee Ee's car. As soon as we touched down at Penang, Ah Kong and Por Por picked us and we went for dinner before they sent us home.

Exam Week

Emeryn meets Adeline

Exam starts on Mon to Thurs. Every single day after school, we both sat together and do the revision. No matter how much we have prepared earlier, mummy would still want to do some quick run through a nite before the exam. Emeryn attended BM tuition on Mon nite and we continued with revision up to 11pm that night. Emeryn was seen yawning all the way.

On Mon, she came home and commented "I did quite badly for my Mandarin". On Tues, she commented "I think I can get 100% for my BM". Mummy booked her new car, Nissan Almera on Tues after school. Thereafter we went for a quick dinner with mummy's friend before heading home for another round of revision. After a continuous 3 nites of revision, we finally called it end of exam after Thurs. Such a huge relief and we celebrated the joyous moment after the "book-torture" by going for Emeryn's fav restaurant, Sushi King. We drove to Prangin Mall for our dinner only to find out it was the member's day. Mummy applied for the card instantly and Emeryn had her craving fulfilled. We dropped by at Ah Chor's place as mummy brought over her winter clothing for her cousin sister.

And on Fri, mummy can finally released the "devil" which was trapped in her body for the past 2months or so. She went out for dinner and drink with her friend while leaving Emeryn at Por Por's place. It was also time for mummy to relax and de-stress. Mummy picked Emeryn at about 10.30pm and headed home.

Emeryn attended GB Maths on Sat morning and we went home to do some packing before heading to the airport. Mummy has stopped Emeryn from Art Class until Dec since the school exam was on Oct and we will be traveling to Bali on Nov. Uncle CS sent us to the airport at 4.15pm. We arrived LCCT at about 6.30pm and rushed to get the coach to 1Utama. Mummy met up with her long lost uni-mate, Aunty Joan and her family. We had dinner at Sakae Sushi @ 1U along with Carmen Ee Ee. It was a great meet up after not meeting each other for 8years. Emeryn had so much fun with Adeline, despite just knowing each other.

We headed over for movie, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs II after the dinner meet up. We stayed at Carmen Ee Ee's place for our entire trip at KL.

Science Revision

While doing revision on Science:

Me: Apakah bahagian yang berbeza antara pokok pisang dengan pokok mangga?

Lil' cheeky: Pokok pisang ada pisang. Pokok mangga ada mangga. Itulah bezanya.

Theater for Kids

the Mandarin notes 

@ La Boca, Pavilion

 

During the Art Class, Emeryn brought home a flyers of a kids show at Penang Pac. As per requested by lil' cheeky, I've bought the ticket. That's our date on the Deepavali holiday :) We started our revision intensively since the following week would be the exam week. We did our revision daily for at least 1.5hour a day, apart from finishing the school homework.

Fri was the prize giving day and only the prize winners need to attend school. Obviously Emeryn wasn't one of them. Mummy sent her to daycare in the morning session and picked her up during noon time. Mummy went on half day leave on the same day to clear some of her leaves. We headed downtown to send the hairdryer for repair and went for lunch with Toki Ee Ee before going home for revision again.

Mummy left to KL on Sat morning for her company annual dinner, which was also mummy's 32nd birthday. Mummy sent Emeryn to Pekaka while she was away and got Ah Ma to help on Mandarin revision. Mummy prepared some Mandarin notes for Emeryn to read while she was away at KL. Being a "banana" herself, mummy leveraged the usage of google translate to prepare the notes in Mandarin. Before the dinner starts, Aunty Karen dropped by at mummy's room at Hotel Maya and surprised her with a birthday cake. While after the company dinner, mummy went out with Carmen Ee Ee and her friend to La Boca @ Pavilion where they celebrated mummy's birthday with a slice of cake. Emeryn stayed overnight at Pekaka on Sat before mummy brought her home on Sun evening. We managed to do a quick revision before going to bed.

Too cheeky, too smart

While I was in the shower, knock*** knock*** knock*** lil' cheeky was making some noise out there.

Me: Stop kicking the door. I'm bathing. I can't hear you.
Lil' cheeky: I want to talk to you.
Me: Not now. After this, please. Stop kicking the door, you're damaging it.
Lil' cheeky: How much does your door cost?
Me: RM400
Lil' cheeky: Ok, I will kick the door till it is damaged. Then I will pay you RM400.

I find it too funny, then peeped out the door. Saw her smiling cheekily.

Revision Starts Early

Exam date fixed on Oct 7th-11th. Mummy was so happy that the exam week does not coincides with our plan to KL. Earlier mummy has bought a flight ticket to KL, planning to bring Emeryn to Kidzania, Petrosains, Bird Park and etc. Knowing mummy would be away to KL on two days before the exam, she started the revision earlier than usual. It was a good start when we managed 2 hours of revision after school.

On Wed evening, Emeryn tagged along with mummy to her monthly gathering. This round was a treat from Esther for her birthday and we went to Kaffa at downtown. After the meal, we left at about 9pm. Upon reaching home, mummy had Emeryn showered. We then proceed with homework guidance from mummy. Mummy left Emeryn alone completing her homework while she went for her shower. After merely 10mins in the bathroom, mummy was surprised to see Emeryn fell asleep on the floor upon stepping out from the bathroom. Emeryn was undeniably tired.

We went for breakfast on Sat morning with mummy's friend before GB Maths class. Later Emeryn attended GB Maths and Art Class as usual while mummy went for her dental appointment. 

Mummy did some wardrobe clearing for Emeryn on Sun morning and passed it to Uncle Lin Chun's niece her old clothing and books. We stayed in for lunch where mummy cooked Emeryn's favorite porridge. After lunch, we continue with the revision. Before heading to Por Por's place for our usual Sun visit, mummy brought Emeryn to the playground at Bukit Dumbar. Mummy brought along her camera to snap some photo but unfortunately she has left the sd card at home. After a short outdoor play, we headed to Por Por's place for dinner. Sherine Ee Ee, Ah Pak and Ah Mou dropped by as well. We chit-chat awhile before heading home.
