The Best Ever Performance

@ School Concert

Mummy and Emeryn attended music class as usual on Tues evening. Second stage expose the kids more to piano compare to those small little instrument. While on Wed, granny brought Emeryn to downtown and got her an electronic motor bike. Wow..It was huge thou and electronically operated where we need to charge it. Emeryn has yet to familiarize herself with her new toy. Granny fetched her back home after getting her the brand new motor-bike.


On Sat morning mummy left Emeryn at Aunty Jenny’s parent’s house at Pulau Tikus where she played along with Hui Ying, Hui Siang and several kids there while mummy left for a massage with Ee Ee. At first mummy was worried if she would behave and get along well with the other kids or would she makes a fuss when mummy is not around. To mummy’s surprise, Emeryn was getting along well with the others. In fact it was her first time without any close family members and placed her with someone new. This round, Ee Ee came back and gave Emeryn a froggie hand puppet and 10 mini finger puppets and also some toys from Mc Donalds Happy Meal. Mummy fetched her at about 11.30am from Aunty Jenny’s place and all of us headed to the wholesaler place at Maccalum Street. After that we drove to Kimberley Street for another wholesaler store but unfortunately we did not manage to grab any good bargains. Emeryn started to make a fuss not long after that, perhaps she is starving. How can mummy dismiss it? She was crying badly and insisted to go home. So mummy brought her for lunch and we headed home right after that.


Emeryn took her afternoon nap before getting ready for her so-called big day. It was her school graduation concert and Emeryn will be performing. Daddy could not make it as he needed to liaise with the driver who met with an accident at Seremban. Poor thing, daddy could not witness his lil’ lovely performing. Mummy dressed her up nicely and tied her hair with a nice white floral deco which matches her dress perfectly. Mummy also put on some light make-up for her and she looks so gorgeous, so fabulous and so pretty. We were running late when we reached. Emeryn started crying when mummy left her at the back stage seeing other friends crying along. Aww.. She cried so badly that mummy was seriously worried if she could still perform. Later when Toki Ee Ee reaches, she went to Emeryn and consoled her. Grandma, Por Por, Ah Kong, Ee Ee, Chik Chik, Ah Chim and Joel attended the event as well.

The event started at about 6.45pm with a welcoming speech from the principal, teacher Gina. It was the final countdown when my lil’ gorgeous stood up at the stage. Mummy walked in front and secured a nice view. Luckily Emeryn has stopped crying and she looked relax on the stage and even gave mummy a warm smile. Mummy’s heart started beating so fast and fast when Emeryn was standing on the stage as if mummy is going to perform herself. Haha. Emeryn put up with such a great performance which mummy did not expect it at all. She was one of the sole dancers in the group and most of her lil’ friend did not really dance. Mummy kept on smiling from ear to ear seeing her dancing gracefully. Mummy was so proud that Emeryn did not fail her. The whole event ended at about 9.30pm and we left for our late dinner at Bayan Lepas.

The next morning, Ah Kong, Por Por, both Ee Ee, mummy and Emeryn went to pay respect to Emeryn’s great grandfather at Air Itam. It has been ages since mummy went there and it was the first time Emeryn got to know her deceased great grandfather. We went for our brunch at Lorong Seratus Tahun and we had the famous curry mee. After our brunch we headed to por por’s place and stayed a lil’ while before leaving. Emeryn was having a slight fever early in the morning and her temperature shoot up during noon. Mummy brought her home and sponge bath her to avoid her from having fits, yes the scary fits. She slept for the whole afternoon and later we went for dinner with por por, ah kong and both ee ee again. Toki Ee Ee left to Singapore after our dinner.

@ Sarawak Cultural Village

Finally the most awaited day arrived, our family trip to Kuching, Sarawak. Mummy worked half day on Mon morning and fetched Emeryn from nursery at 1pm. We went home and mummy insisted Emeryn to take a nap before heading to the airport. But eventually she failed to sleep. Perhaps over excited over the trip. Mummy continued with some last minutes packing and we drove to Pekaka at 4.30pm. Mummy helped daddy with his luggage packing and at 5.15pm granny fetched all of us to the airport. We took a quick meal at Mc Donalds upon reaching the airport and we boarded the flight at 6.30pm. We touched down at Kuching Airport at 8.30pm and made some arrangement with the car rental personnel. After much hassle trying to operate the gps, we reached Tune Hotel at about 10pm. We went for supper before checking in to the hotel. All of us were extremely tired upon reaching the hotel room and slept almost immediately after taking our showers.

The next morning, we left hotel at 8.15am and we went for breakfast before heading to our first destination, the Sarawak Cultural Village. Daddy had chicken rice and mummy had kolo mee. We reached the Sarawak Cultural Village at about 10am with the reference from the gps. Entrance fee for both mummy and daddy are RM60each. We visited the Bidayuh Longhouse, Iban Longhouse, Penan Hut, New Orang Ulu Longhouse, Melanau Tall House, Malay House and Chinese Farm house. We watched the Cultural Show at 11.30am and it was an eye opener for all of us. Emeryn got a hand tattoo and mummy bought a bracelet for her at SCV. We left for lunch at about 2pm at Kampung Buntal. After our sumptuous lunch, we drove to Bako National Park. We took some wrong directions before reaching our final destination at about 4pm. Emeryn was sleeping in the car while daddy was driving. It was running late when we reached Bako, thus we were unable to catch the shared boat to the national park. It is very pricey to have a chartered boat, so we decided to call it off. We drove back to the hotel and upon reaching Waterfront, we took a boat across the river. We tried the famous layer cakes and decided to get it on the last day before we depart. We went back to the hotel to refresh ourselves before going to The Spring Supermarket. It is the biggest supermarket at Kuching in fact. Mummy bought daddy a pair of jeans for his birthday gift. We shopped for a short while before having our late dinner next to Tune Hotel later the evening. It was another hectic and tired day.

We started our 3rd day rather late the next morning. Again we had our breakfast before starting our journey to Bau to visit Fairy Cave and Wind Cave. It was a long drive for us. By 12.00pm we left Bau and headed to the Jong’s Crocodile Farm & Mini Zoo. We spent about 2hours there and we were amazed by the huge number of crocodiles there. Then we went to Semenggoh Orang Utan and we witness the feeding of orang utan. Surprisingly the orang utan were let free and ain’t kept in the cage. It wasn’t a pleasant trip as it was raining half way through. We left at about 4pm and we gave a ride to two foreigner lady since it was raining heavily and we are also heading to the same direction. Emeryn slept on mummy’s arm throughout the whole journey back to the hotel. We had our second meal of the day at the open air market where we tried the ang tao peng and sio bee. In the evening, we drove around the town area where we snapped some photos at the Cat Monument. We planned to drive over to Astana but we failed to find our way there. We drove back to the hotel and called it another day.

Our last day at Kuching started at across the river where we bought 1 dozen of layer cakes and hike to the Dewan Undangan Negeri. Unfortunately we were unable to visit the Fort Magherita as we needed to check out at 10am. We checked out from the hotel and returned the rented car. We had our breakfast next to Tune Hotel and left our luggage at Tune Hotel. We begin our city tour on our own feet. Another episode of heavy walking. After the city tour, it was the shopping time. We walked to three different shopping complexes and had our lunch at Mc Donalds. Mummy bought a tee shirt for Emeryn. It was 5.30pm when we had our dinner before leaving to the airport. We took the shuttle bus to the airport and it was only 3 of us on the shuttle bus. Emeryn was too tired and slept throughout the journey and continued her sleep in the airport while waiting for the flight boarding. Our flight was on 8.55pm and finally we reached Penang at 10.40pm, 15mins earlier than scheduled. Granny fetched us from airport and we bought supper to Pekaka. We finally reached home at 12.30am.

Mummy and daddy started work the next day, Friday. Same goes to Emeryn, started going to the nursery on Friday. Mummy brought her to the replacement music class on Sat morning. In the afternoon, daddy drove us to Sungai Petani to visit his client and we bought a cake from Tesco in view of ah chor’s birthday. It was a family affair-birthday celebration at home. We ended up with two birthday cakes as granny bought another cake for ah chor too. Emeryn sang birthday song and again she blew off the candles.

On Sunday morning, daddy accompanied us to the toy library. Emeryn returned the books she borrowed a week ago and we spent an hour there. Daddy drove us for lunch after that and later we went home for emeryn’s afternoon nap. We visited por por and ah kong as usual later in the afternoon.

Sunshine Kids Zone

Mummy and Emeryn attended music class on Tues as usual. The whole week daddy was busy working, working and working. On Wed evening, mummy went for dinner with her friends leaving Emeryn at Pekaka under granny’s care. There was a day when teacher Gina called mummy up saying Emeryn bite her friend, Hailey at school. Hailey’s parents requested to meet up with mummy and teacher Gina to talk about it. Mummy was dumb-folded hearing such news from the school. What has happened to my lil’ loving? How could she bite her friend out of nothing? Mummy went over to the school right after work to talk to Emeryn. Emeryn admitted that she bites Hailey but she did not explained further. Sigh. Hailey’s face was blue-black. Poor thing. Mummy felt extremely sorry for Emeryn’s behavior. Prior to this, mummy googled up and read many articles on biting at school. Some articles relate that the kids is trying to show their frustrations, drawing attention, lack of speech skills to express their feelings or being pressured by their strict parents. Strict parents? Does it meant mummy being strict towards Emeryn and always expect the best of out her??? Something to ponder over here…

While on Friday evening, mummy, daddy and Emeryn attended a wedding dinner. We went home after dinner while daddy went out with his friends. Daddy left to work very early the next morning. Mummy and Emeryn spent Sat morning at home, watching movies and having breakfast. We went to the Kids Zone at Sunshine Farlim at about 2.15pm. It was our first time there and no doubt Emeryn was having a lot, a lot of fun over there. Entrance fee is RM6 and we were served with a cup of popcorn. We spent about one and a half hour there before leaving for our meals. We went to Jalan La’ Salle to satisfy our hunger and then we went over to Pekaka to have a look at Ah Chor. Granny, ah kong, chik chik, ah chim and Joel went to Hadyai leaving ah chor with kakak at Pekaka. Emeryn took her afternoon nap at Pekaka and we left to por por’s house at 7.30pm. Mummy, Emeryn, por por and ah kong went for dinner together at down town. We planned to go for a walk at Esplanade after our dinner but we didn’t manage to make it as there wasn’t any empty parking space. After sending por por and ah long home, mummy drove to Tesco as we need to exchange our un-function dvd player. We went home immediately after that.

Daddy came home at about 10.30pm and he drove us out for supper. He was extremely tired after a long day at work. Pity him!!! Both mummy and Emeryn didn’t eat much as we were still full. We drove around after the meal before heading back to our home sweet home. Again on Sun, we went to visit por por as usual and have our dinner there.
