Evenful Weekend

@ New Gurney

@ home

@Tesco, Straits Quay

Mummy flew to KL on Mon morning and flew home the same evening. Mummy bought Mc Donalds home as dinner and picked Emeryn from Pekaka before we head home for dinner together. Mummy stayed up to almost 2am on Tues; with the sole intention of getting a good deal from Air Asia. And yes, finally mummy successfully booked a ticket for us to Tokyo. Yay, we're traveling to Tokyo on Nov. It's like a dream comes true. Granny picked Emeryn from the afternoon school and sent her to Melody for her Public Speaking replacement class. Granny insisted Emeryn joined the class and she paid for the 8 weeks course. Again, granny sent her to Melody on Fri afternoon for the class and mummy picked her from Melody after work.

Emeryn attended Art Class as usual on Sat morning before heading for mummy's facial appointment. We drove to Tanjung Tokong for lunch right after art class. On our way to lunch, we dropped by and quench our thirst with the fresh coconut drink. We had lunch at the infamous Tor Pui Loh chicken rice. Emeryn entertained herself with her movie while mummy had her facial done. She also talked non-stop with the cleaner and the masseur. After the facial, we went to Tesco Tanjung Pinang where mummy promised to bring Emeryn to the indoor theme park. She played awhile and we bought some pastry before going home. We both finished it up on our way home. Initially we are supposed to go out for dinner but Emeryn fell asleep as early as 8pm, thus mummy got to get her dinner next to our place.

We spent our Sun morning at home and only drove to Por Por's place in the late afternoon. We had our early dinner there before heading to New Gurney for Emeryn's cycling session. We spent an hour there before it gets dark and went home.

Mummy's Bonus Allocation

@ new Gurney

Tues was a public holiday, Thaipusam and we spent our morning at home. All of the sudden, Emeryn reminded mummy of the bicycle mummy once promised. So we drove out in the afternoon to the bicycle shop at Lip Sin and Emeryn immediately fall in love with one particular bicycle. After much negotiation, we grabbed it at RM200 without visiting other shops. We drove further to check for a safety helmet and ended buying a purple helmet at RM70. We went home and Emeryn tested on her new toy. She still can't pedal the correct way and after 30min of guidance, she successfully pedal correctly. What an achievement for her???

Emeryn attended Art Class on Sat morning as usual. Later in the afternoon, mummy brought her to New Gurney where she enjoyed her cycling session. She cycled and mummy has to chased after her. After awhile, we sat down and she started singing Row Your Boat & Once I Caught A Fish Alive. Mummy recorded it into a video. After much cycling, we went to the flea market besides Burger King and quench our thirst. We also bought home dinner.

On Sun morning, we had our dim sum breakfast with Ah Kong and Por Por at Tai Thong. We bumped into Aunty SuChing and her friends over there. After our breakfast, Emeryn followed Ah Kong and Por Por to the market whereas mummy went for her massage session followed by her make-up course. Ah Kong and Por Por brought her to Ah Kong's factory and Giant for free kiddy ride before going back for lunch. Mummy went to Por Por's place for her late lunch as well. We went home after that and we had our dinner along with daddy at Sushi King, Egate. After dinner, mummy sent her to Pekaka where she has to over night there as mummy will be flying to KL for work the next morning.

Disney On Ice Tickets

ticket to Disney On Ice

@ QBM

We went to Queensbay on Sun noon to catch "Meet the Disney Characters". Before the event, we had a quick lunch at Sushi King as suggested by Emeryn, her current favorite. We went to the center atrium to catch the session but mummy has got the wrong info about the timing. There was a booth selling Disney on Ice ticket. Emeryn spotted the slide show on the notebook and enjoyed watching it. Mummy asked if Emeryn would want to watch them live and she nodded. Without much ado, mummy purchased the said ticket and even called Aunty Mei to check if she want to get it as well. We ended up buying another two tickets for Aunty Mei and Flo. We went shopping while waiting for the photo session with the Disney Characters. Again luck wasn't on our side as the photo session is only opened to the first 60 sign up. So we only watched the photo session from far. We then drove to Por Por's place for our dinner.

CNY Day 6 - Hatyai

for Emeryn

Since everyone was in Penang for their CNY break, we decided to make a day trip to Hatyai on Sat, Day 6 of CNY. We started our journey as early as 6.30am. We drove up to Changloon and make a stop to deal with the car insurance before entering the Thai Border. At the moment, Carmen Ee Ee only realized she has left her passport at home. She has no choice but to drive back to Penang and catch up with us later at Hatyai. We reached Hatyai at about 11.30am and we were forced to make a stop as mummy's car was having over heating problem. We had lunch at the economy rice stall while waiting for the car to cool down. We continued our journey to Lee Garden after our lunch.

We shopped at the Lee Garden Plaza and mummy bought some hair accessories and earrings for Emeryn. After about an hour there, we walked up to the food court for a quick drink before walking over to the street market. Carmen & Sherine Ee Ee reached shortly and joined us for the walk. We had the infamous bird nest and then continued our street market shopping while Ah Kong went for foot reflexology. At the street market, we bought some cashew nut, fruits, instant noodles, cuttlefish and etc.

After all the shopping, we pampered ourselves with a Thai whole body massage at Sakura Hotel. It was a real good massage and yet it was real affordable. We had our dinner after the massage and headed to Watson to grab some toiletries since it was cheaper compare to Malaysia. We headed home at about 9.45pm and we have to make few stops to make sure the car is in good condition. We finally reached the Malaysia border before 12am and continued our journey home.

CNY 2012

@ Ah Chor's

CNY 1st Day

CNY Day 2

On the first day of CNY, we headed for our late lunch at Por Por's place. After our lunch, we drove to Ah Chor's house for CNY visiting. Emeryn received some red packet from the relatives and played with Belle Belle, the dog. We stayed for about 45mins before heading home for a short nap. Later at nite, we drove to 1st Avenue for the family movie outing. We watched Alls Well Ends Well at 9.10pm. After our movie, we went to Kapitan for supper where we hang out and chilled out as well before sending Tokie Ee Ee, Ah Kong and Por Por home. We reached home about 1am.

We went to Por Por's place at 3.30pm on the second day of CNY where we had our lunch there. Sherine Ee Ee and her family were there as well. After our meal, we went to Kek Lok Si with Ah Kong and Por Por. The first pit stop, Emeryn fed the tortoise. We walked around and snapped some photo before driving up to Kek Lok Si's Peak. It was so crowded with visitors. We bumped into my cousin sis, Celine Ee Ee over there and we finally left at about 7pm. We went for dinner with the rest at Lai Lai's food court. We headed home straight after our dinner.

Mummy started working on the 3rd day of CNY itself whereby Emeryn started her school on the 4th day of CNY. Mummy left Emeryn over night at Por Por's place on Friday nite where she went out for CNY gathering with her friends.

CNY Reunion Lunch

the cheeky act

the family photo

Since the demise of Ah Chor, mummy & her family won't be celebrating CNY like the years before. They opted for a family lunch at Evergreen Laurel Hotel on CNY's Eve. We reached the hotel at about 12.30pm and spent almost 2hours there. We didn't eat much as there were limited choices of food but lucky enough, Emeryn's portion is free. We snapped some family photo after the lunch adjourned.

We then drove to Prangin Mall along with Toki, Carmen and Sherene Ee Ee for a quick shopping. After the shopping, we headed home for our afternoon nap. Later in the evening, we had another reunion dinner at another Ah Chor's place at Macallum.
