outing with Theng Ee Ee

School exam has finally ended last week. It is more like a honeymoon week now before the school holiday starts. Mummy was on leave on Mon and she went to celebrate Uncle Leonard's birthday. They both went to Mansion 32 for lunch before proceeded to QBM for some shopping. Emeryn can't wait for Wed for Ah Ma to pick her from school and collect her new spectacles. She got overly excited parading her new accessory. That evening we went down for a slow jog with Uncle Leonard. Mummy can only managed 3km but Emeryn did even lesser than mummy. She had her skooter running along with her, probably only 1.5km to 2km. 

We went for dinner at Mc Donalds on Fri evening along with Uncle Leonard & Karise. Only the kids had their meal there as they wanted to get the pony collection, whereas the adult went for local delights, hokkien mee after that. We headed home right after the meal as it was drizzling. Uncle Leonard went for his training early in the morning, leaving Karise with us. Mummy overslept and woke up at 9.15am and quickly rushed out to grab breakfast before the grille installation is done. Mummy got worried upon hearing few robbery cases and decided to install the grille at our yard. The installation was quick and done in just 15mins. Emeryn attended her BM tuition later whereas mummy went to Sunshine Square for grocery shopping. Later in the evening Uncle Leonard drove mummy and Karise to pick Emeryn from tuition and we went to downtown for dinner before dropping by at Karpal Singh Drive.

On Sun, Emeryn went for her Cambridge class as usual in the morning. After the class we went to Por Por's house for lunch. Emeryn & Karise spent the afternoon at Por Por's house and Theng Ee Ee brought them all out to the temple and had a quick meal before going back to Por Por's house. Mummy and Uncle Leonard went for a movie at 1st Avenue. We drove home at about 5.30pm. Later both the kids went down to the community hall to play as it was raining.

Wesak Day falls on Wed and it means another public holiday for us. That morning mummy was still on the bed till Uncle Leonard sent her a message. After replying his message, mummy quickly got readied and all of us headed out for breakfast at Island Park. After our breakfast we went to the temple along with Uncle Leonard & Karise as they wanted to have a prayer in view of Wesak Day. After the prayer, we headed home with packed lunch for the girls. Uncle Leonard went back to work as he was rushing for a project submission. Mummy brought the girls to the reading room to do their revision as it was the exam week. We had some rest in between intervals and revision. After revising for at least 2 hours, the girls wanted to go for a swim. Mummy accompanied them to the pool as there was no adult accompanying both of them. Uncle Leonard reached home after 7pm and just about time the girls were done with their swim. That evening, mummy was a bit hesitate to drive out to buy dinner, thus we had some instant noodle for our dinner.

On Fri, Emeryn came back with a Mother's Day gift which she bought from school. The gift was wrapped in a black colored paper, mummy's favorite color. We met Uncle Leonard & Karise for dinner at Pisa Corner before going home. Later in the evening, they came over to our place bringing a small piece of cake to celebrate Mother's Day for mummy. 

On Sat morning, mummy & Uncle Leonard had their first attempt on chicken & mushroom pie, a recipe courtesy by Toki Ee Ee. Due to the morning rush, they both had missed out some steps and the pie doesn't turn out perfect. Though it doesn't looks too good, but it tasted ok. Later in the afternoon we had a quick bite from McDonalds before sending Emeryn to her BM tuition. After her tuition, Uncle Leonard drove all of us to Easy Brew for dinner. Mummy bought 3 vouchers from Fave and we had dinner as a small celebration for Mother's Day. We reached there slightly earlier than our booking time, so we hopped over to the heritage site and witnessed a lion dance. We spend about 2 hours at Easy Brew for dinner before driving home.

The next morning, mummy sent Emeryn to her Cambridge class before we had another Mother's Day celebration over lunch with Theng Ee Ee  family, Por Por and Ah Kong. We went for Thai cuisine at Sriwan. After our lunch, we met up with Uncle Leonard where he dropped Karise to us. We then went to Pulau Tikus for Emeryn's eye check. Emeryn was so excited knowing that she is now officially needing a glasses. She selected the similar model as Theng Ee Ee's glasses and it costs mummy RM330. After visiting the optometry, we headed over to Por Por's house along with Karise. This was her second time going to Por Por's place and the kids finally had a great time playing with Baby Will. Uncle Leonard came over at about 4.30pm to pick Karise home. We stayed for another hour before leaving. Upon reaching home, Emeryn went to the playground and played her skooter along with Karise before calling it a day.

Happy Labour Day

Labour Day falls on Mon and needless to say we both were off, from work and from school. We do not have much food left in the fridge, so mummy decided to cook spagetthi cabornara with the un-opened can of sauce left at home. Uncle Leonard came over to have lunch with us before we went down to the reading room for a quick revision in preparation of the mid year school exam. The whole week was filled revision and revision.

Emeryn was so happy receiving her BM Penulisan result from the tuition centre, 86%. Emeryn was superbly happy too getting her Pendidikan Moral result 83%. She was extremely happy because she did her own revision without mummy's guidance. Emeryn attended her Cambridge Class on Sun morning as usual. Later in the afternoon, Uncle Leonard sent Karise to Por Por's house to play with Emeryn & Baby Will. It was her first time there. Later on our way home, we dropped by at McD Karpal Singh for the kids to play. They both went down to the playground to play in the evening.

Mummy was away for a short break to Ho Chi Minh from Apr 19-23rd. Mummy sent Emeryn to school on Wed morning before flying off at 12pm. Mummy's initial plan was to leave Emeryn at Pekaka. Unfortunately on the first night itself, Emeryn called mummy at least 2 times at night saying that she can't sleep and wanted mummy to come home that night itself. She cried so badly and kept on uttering I miss you, mummy. Somehow she has no choice but to fall asleep after crying. The next day, Por Por and Ah Kong drove all the way to Pekaka to pick her back to their home as Emeryn decided to stay with them. The next morning, Ah Kong sent her to school. In the evening, Ah Kong and Por Por picked her again from Pekaka. Ah Kong sent her to school on Sat morning for her extra co-curriculum and later they dropped her to her BM tuition at Bayan Baru. In the evening, Beena Kor Kor went over to Por Por's house to send her to St Giles Wembley Hotel for the Star Wars show. Mummy won 2 free tickets to One-Man Star Wars Trilogy and Emeryn went along with Joel. After the show, Beena Kor Kor dropped Emeryn at Theng Ee Ee's house where she spent a nite there. Upon returning to Penang, mummy headed over to her Cambridge Parents-Teacher Meet before going to Por Por's house to bring Emeryn home.

It was a public holiday on Mon in view of the King's Installation; giving mummy an extra day to rest after her holiday. Uncle Leonard drove mummy, Emeryn and Karise to Queensbay after our lunch. We don't have any specific activity to do there except for Emeryn kept asking mummy to bring her to Smiggle. Toki Ee Ee gave her RM100 as she requested Ee Ee to buy her something from Smiggle. The kid's first stop was at Toys R Us for some window shopping before we headed to Jusco kids entertainment where they were allowed to play several set of games there.  We then headed over to Smiggle, the main objective of the day. After walking around, calculating the cost, thinking and more thinking, Emeryn finally decided on a water tumbler and a watch at Smiggle. Mummy has to topped up some money as her RM100 is not sufficient for both the items. We walked around for a short while before satisfying our hunger at the Queens Market before going home.   

On Fri, mummy went to Karise's school to pick her up before picking Emeryn from her daycare. We then went over to Uncle Leonard's house where he cooked dinner for us. That evening we had bak kut teh.

On Sat morning, we went out for breakfast with Uncle Leonard & Karise. While during noon, mummy went for her monthly gathering along with Emeryn at D'Fat Mona Lisa. After the lunch gathering, we dropped by at the Batu Lanchang market as mummy wanted to buy some ingredients for our dinner preparation. Later Emeryn attended her BM tuition as usual. After her tuition, once again Uncle Leonard cooked us dinner. This round we had winter melon soup, recipe courtesy by mummy. 

We visited Por Por on Sun as usual and had our late lunch there. We returned home at about 5pm where Emeryn went for a swim with Karise.
