PhotoBook - DONE

front cover

No More Smart Reader, yay!!!

Emeryn has stopped her Smart Reader class on sat starting Nov. Mummy has just realized the level was too easy for a 5years old and Emeryn are coping so much better now. The whole week was about revision and revision since Emeryn's final exam starts on 8th Nov. The exam gave pressure to both mummy and Emeryn, whereby mummy have to make sure Emeryn's revision were done every single day.

On Sun noon, we went to Old Town @ Egate as mummy set up an appointment with the online seller where mummy bought a dress for Emeryn. Aunty Mei and Flo also joined us for lunch. We went home after that before going out to Por Por's house in the evening for our dinner. Before heading over to Por Por's house, we dropped by at several kid's wear outlet to check out some nice dresses for Emeryn. Unfortunately we were unable to get anything suitable.

Lately Emeryn has been doing something really strange. She would murmured "I love you, mummy" while she was half sleeping. She repeatedly said that for 2 nights in a row. Ain't that sweet???

The Talkative Baby

Emeryn: Mummy, my fever comes back.

Selina: Ok, so you better drink more water, then only it can flush out the fever when you go wee wee.

Emeryn: Then, can the water flush out my runny nose as well???

The Mummy that Never Listen!!!

Emeryn: Mummy, why can't u listen to me? I said i don't want ikan bilis in my porridge?

Mummy: Your porridge taste better with ikan bilis. Why don't want?

Emeryn: Ikan bilis looks like snake. Haiyo, you just can't listen? I'm now kek sim with you.

Aunty Suzanne's Wedding

@ the wedding

@ Mid Valley

On Sat morning we woke up at 6.15am and get ourselves readied for a road trip to KL. We picked por por and ah kong at 7.10am and started our journey slowly heading to Ipoh while mummy's cousin bro and cousin sis catch up from behind. We reached Ipoh at 9.15am and drove over to mummy's aunty place before we waited for her to get ready and all of us went for breakfast nearby. Finally we started our journey at about 10.45am and with the assistance of the gps device, we reached KL at about 1pm without getting lost. We had a quick rest before deciding checking Mid Valley out for lunch and also the gathered with Toki Ee Ee and Carmen Ee Ee. Again, it was a family affair thingy where we are attending mummy's cousin sis's wedding at Subang Parade. We didn't managed to shop after lunch but hang up awhile before driving back to the rented home at Bandar Kinrara. Emeryn was the only one who managed to grab something from Mid Valley. She asked for a Barbie's watch.

After reaching Kinrara, we got ourselves readied for the wedding dinner and drove to Subang Parade on our own. We snapped a lot of beautiful photos throughout the night. We ended the nite after mid-nite and all of us cramped into a small room, but yet we had a good nite sleep before starting our day early the next day. The wedding ceremony started with some games and pranks on the groom and his mates followed by the Chinese tea ceremony. Mummy had a quick chat with her distance relative before leaving the rented home for lunch. We had lunch before dropping ah kong and por por to the bus station at One Utama as they are heading to Genting. At the end, Carmen Ee Ee decided to drive

We left KL at about 2.45pm and only had a pit-stop before continuing our journey home. Emeryn was quite co-operative when mummy was driving and fell asleep after 2hours journey. Mummy only took 3hours to reach Penang.

Emeryn & Florence @ Bossa Vino

After attending art class and Smart Reader on Sat, mummy and Emeryn went to Bossa Vino for a session of happy hours as well as to catch up for few drinks with her friends. Flo was there too. We ordered dinner from Ivy's Kitchen and ate at Bossa Vino. Mummy brought along her notebook so that Emeryn and Flo could watch the kids movie without disturbing mummy and her friends. The movie only occupied them for 15mins and they decided to play with other stuff.

Funnily at one mooment, both Emeryn and Flo were so close and intimate to each other, hugging and kissing away; but another moment fighting over some petty issues. We hang up for almost 3hours before leaving at 10.30pm. Emeryn fell asleep in the car on our way home.

Mummy dropped Emeryn at por por's place on Sun early morning as she has a facial appointment at 9.30am. After her facial, mummy went back to Por Por's place for lunch and stayed awhile before leaving home. At home Emeryn kept herself occupied with one movie after another while mummy busied herself with the photobook creation.

Emeryn's Masterpiece (2)

A better version from Emeryn where mummy can see so much improvement. Bravo!!!

photobook (continued)

On Sun, mummy spent almost 5hours starting on the photobook and getting herself familiarize with the steps and how to be more creative. Whilst on Mon, mummy did some research online and found some really good sample where she started editting on her existing project. Wow, it looks so much better now compare to version 1. Gambateh, mummy!!!

PhotoBook Project

Mummy purchased an online voucher for a 40pages photobook from ilovediscounts. It was mummy's very first experience on photobook and mummy was really eager looking forward to starting it. It was really time consuming and mummy spent many hours; glued herself to her notebook merely for the 40pages photobook thingy.

Some sneak preview from the first very few pieces:

Weekend at the Youth Park

my super nasi lemak baby

Emeryn attended art class on Sat morning as usual. After the class, mummy drove to the car workshop to have her air-cond examine but the shop owner wasn't there; so mummy decided to come back later. On the way home, Emeryn asked for nasi lemak for her lunch and luckily mummy found a stall which sells nasi lemak to fulfill her wish. We went back home for a short rest before sending Emeryn to Smart Reader. Mummy got her air-cond serviced while Emeryn was at the class. Again Emeryn asked for nasi lemak for dinner. She has grown a fond love towards nasi lemak lately.

Mummy brought Emeryn out to Youth Park for a water play. We only managed to play awhile before it started to drizzled. We walked towards the playground after getting clean up and the weather was kind enough to at least let Emeryn played for 30mins before it started to rain heavily again. Emeryn bumped into her classmate, Gabby at the playground and they both played together. We rushed to the car when it started to rain and decided to call it off and drove to por por's place for our dinner and our Sun visit.

Bahasa Melayu Exam Paper by Mummy

With Emeryn's school final exam just around the corner, the school has been distributing exam time-table and exam guideline to parents. Kiasu parents, like me no doubt start preparing Emeryn for the exam according to the guideline given. Mummy picked up several pages from the activity book and make Emeryn do it.

Well, it's a bit lame of course where the teachers gave guideline before hand to prepare the kids for the final exam.

One thing for sure, Emeryn's Malay sucks a big time!!! She would have huge trouble since mummy is enrolling her to Sek Kebangsaan on 2013.

Happy 30th Birthday, Mummy

mummy's b'day celebration at Soho

@ The Ship, Batu Ferringhi

On Mon evening, mummy helped Aunty Mei by picking Flo after school since she was tied up with her work. We went for dinner together and Aunty Mei picked Flo after dinner. Again, on Tues evening mummy picked Flo from school but this time mummy brought dinner home instead since Aunty Mei would be late. Mummy fed both princesses during dinner in order not to create any further mess. After the dinner, they both watched some dvds and surprisingly they both were so close, just like sisters leaning on each other and hugging each other on the sofa. After the movie, both of them went into the room and started drawing and coloring. Aunty Mei brought her dinner to our home and spend some time before insisting Flo to go home. Flo refused to go home and cried as soon as she got into the car. She called and said "I miss you" and "I love you" to Emeryn. How sweet???

It was mummy's 30th B'day on Wed and she took a day off to pamper herself. Mummy dropped Emeryn to the school and headed to Winter Warmers for her breakfast. She shopped until 5pm and picked Emeryn from You & Me and then headed home. Daddy brought us to The Ship, Batu Ferringhi for mummy's birthday dinner. After the dinner, daddy surprised mummy with a b'day cake and threw in a planned celebration from The Ship's staff. It was a real surprise as daddy has never did such a thing before. Emeryn fell asleep while on the way home.

Mummy dropped Emeryn at Por Por's house on Fri evening and she went to 1st Avenue and got a b'day present for Tokkie Ee Ee. Mummy bought a Elle watch for her. Mummy's car air cond was out of service on Sat. She sent it to the workshop after dropping Emeryn at Smart Reader. Later daddy picked mummy at the workshop and Emeryn from Smart Reader before dropping us home. Aunty Karen came to Penang and threw mummy a surprise b'day celebration. Mummy and her gang went to Soho for a quick celebration on Sat evening before joining the Mah's family for Tokkie Ee Ee's b'day dinner. We went as far as Khun Tai at Raja Uda for the dinner. After the dinner, Emeryn followed Por Por home as mummy needs to collect her car. Emeryn over night at Por Por's house on that nite.

On Sun morning, mummy went for her eyebrow embroidery and a massage session at home after the appointment. Ah Kong and Por Por drove Emeryn, Tokkie Ee Ee and Uncle Lin Chun for dinner at Super Tanker before sending them to the bus station. Mummy joined them for dinner and then brought Emeryn home.

Happy 21st B'day, Ee Ee

On Tues evening, both mummy and daughter were having movie marathon; the daughter was at the living hall watching though tv while the mummy was in the bedroom watching through her notebook. While on Thurs, we went to TGIF for lunch along with mummy's colleague. At the same time, they celebrated mummy's advance b'day. After the meal, it was the celebration. Emeryn stood up for mummy and being presented with the b'day song by the TGIF staff.

Emeryn wanted to get an Angry Bird for Ah Theng Ee Ee for her b'day but Ee Ee would prefer a Smurf instead. Mummy left Emeryn at por por's place on Fri evening and she went for a quick shopping at Prangin Mall and got a Smurfette for Ee Ee. Mummy got the same kind for Emeryn as well. Adding to her collection, Emeryn has an Angry Bird bolster and Smurf soft toy.

After Art Class on Sat noon, mummy send her car for cleaning and polishing for the first time. Perhaps it was mummy's car 6th b'day gift. While waiting for the car to be readied, Emeryn had nasi lemak at the stall next to the car wash. After the meal, mummy went for the most pricey hair wash while Emeryn had her fringe trimmed. Later daddy picked Emeryn from the car wash and brought her back to Pekaka for a shower before sending her to Smart Reader.

Tokkie Ee Ee came back from Singapore along with Uncle Lin Chun for Ah Theng's Ee Ee 21st B'day. We went for a seafood dinner near Por Por's house at 9pm, after Ah Theng Ee Ee went off from work. Ee Ee invited the whole Mah's family for the dinner. After the dinner, all of us went back to Por Por's place before we went out for our movie date. We watched The Sorcerer and the White Snake at 1st Avenue. Before the movie starts, we spent some time at the Fun Zone, where Ah Kong & mummy's uncle were playing as well. It was a mid nite show, 12.15am and ended at about 2am. Amazingly Emeryn stayed through the whole movie. Mummy got her first b'day pressie from Ah Theng Ee Ee and it was a Coach Perfume.

The next morning, all of us woke up early for Ah Chor's prayer at Than Tsiang temple at about 9.30am. The whole session ended at about 11am and mummy dropped Emeryn at Pekaka for Beena Kor Kor's convocation photography session. Mummy went home for a quick nap before driving out to New World Park to meet her ex colleague and collected the wedding invitation card from him. Mummy had a severe headache upon reaching home and continued to sleep up to 8pm. Daddy sent Emeryn home at about 8.30pm.

She Leaves Me with NO Choice

Emeryn: Mummy, what cake you want?
Me: Errmmmm, i want a Princess cake.
Emeryn: I buy u angry bird cake ok? Angry bird nicer than princess.
Me: Oh ok.
Emeryn: What colour you want?
Me: I want black colour.
Emeryn: Black colour is for boy. I buy for you red colour la.

*** Then she checked her wallet and found out she only have RM15.

Me: RM15 is not enough to get a cake.
Emeryn: You go and work. Then you give me more more money, ok?

At first she asked me what i want, and i said my choice. End of the day, she decides everything for me and even asked me to go to work to get her more $$ to buy me a cake. Looks like I'm buying a cake for myself instead.

Chit Chatting over Diarrhea

Mummy: I'm going to cut your butt since you keep on goin to the toilet.

Emeryn: Then I'll take your ka chui.

Mummy: Why?

Emeryn: Your ka chui nice ma and i like your ka chui. Some more your ka chui don't go lao sai ma.
