1st day of CNY

 

\

 nite hang out

On the last day of school before CNY holiday, Emeryn is allowed to wear her cheongsam to school in conjunction of the festive season. We spent our Fri evening at home; welcoming the new year. After all the CNY preparation, the big day finally arrived. Mummy did not take any leave prior to that.

We woke up at about 9.30am and later welcomed Onn Zhai and his parents to our place. They drove from Ipoh and went over to our place for pit-stop and a quick shower before we headed over to Penang Plaza for our reunion lunch. We had the 8-course lunch at Hei Yeong Seng Chinese Restaurant. Mummy bought a bottle of red wine to go with the lunch. After lunch we snapped lots of photos outside of the restaurant. As usual, we're the family who loves to snap photo & photo. After the photo session, we drove to Than Siang Temple to pray for mummy's granny and grandpa.

Running out of plan, we headed over to 1st Avenue with the intention to go for karaoke. We called it off after knowing its pricey rate. We then opted for a movie entitled Hotel Deluxe. Before the movie, we walked over to Prangin Mall to filled our empty stomach. We went over to Por Por's house for dinner after the movie. It was a nice family outing and gathering. It is always fun and blissful to be surrounded by family members.

On Sun, the 1st day of Chinese Lunar New Year we went over to Por Por's house around noon time. After our lunch, we went over to mummy's granny's house for our CNY visit. Emeryn collected some ang pow there and mummy distributed hers. It was a real hot and humid day. We went home for a rest before heading out to 1st Avenue at about 6.30pm. All of us had our dinner at Sushi King before the movie. We went for I Love Hong Kong at 8.10pm. Our last destination of the day was Pacific Coffee at Gurney Paragon. We hang out over there for 1.5hour or so before calling it a nite. We intended to have a late nite supper but unfortunately the food court were closed.

Thaipusam Holiday

@ Winter Warmers

Last Mon was a replacement holiday for Thaipusam and mummy planned out a CNY shopping trip at QBM. Normally mummy would opt to wake up late when she don't need to go to work but this round she decided to wake up earlier and hit the mall by 12pm. As planned, we reached QBM at about 11.45am and it was surprisingly empty for a public holiday. We walked for about an hour before Emeryn started to ask for food. After ding dong here and there, we finally settled down at Winter Warmers. It was Emeryn's 1st time dining there and we ordered set lunch of chicken spaghetti bolognese which comes salad as the starter, a full selection of drinks, main course and dessert. Amazingly Emeryn loves almost everything there. After the meal, we walked for awhile before Emeryn start complaining. Obviously she don't inherit mummy's love to shop. She just ain't a shopaholic. She then called Ah Ma and asked her to pick her up from the mall. Her wish is everyone's command and Ah Ma picked her up from QBM. Mummy continued her shopping alone, peacefully and went home at about 5pm. Mummy got herself a piece of dress and a CNY hamper for Ah Ma. Mummy picked Emeryn from Pekaka later in the evening.

On Wed during lunch, mummy went to GSD Land show house to confirm on Theng Ee Ee's new home purchase. Congratulations to Theng Ee Ee for booking her 1st house. In the evening, Emeryn tagged along with mummy to her monthly gathering. This round was a bit different compare to the previous gathering as we had hawker's meal. We went there straight after school ended. We spent about 1.5hour before leaving. Mummy drove to Soju Room where she collected her un-finished Hennessy as the expiry date was that particular day. It was quite late when we reached home and Emeryn rushed to finish her homework and showered before calling it a night.

Mummy skipped her usual Fri evening outing and we both went to the pasar malam at Perak Lane. Getting a car park almost seems like impossible but after a few rounds, we managed to get one. We walked for awhile before checking out the food. Emeryn asked for nasi lemak and a coconut jelly whereas mummy asked for prawn noodle. After the quick bites, we continued our stroll along the street. It was such a chaotic scene with many people trying their luck on the last minutes CNY shopping. Mummy only gotten a pair of earring for herself and a hair accessories for Emeryn. Again, Emeryn complained of being tired and wanted to go over to Ah Ma's place. We headed home at about 8.30pm.

On Sat, Emeryn attended Art Class as usual and mummy went for her medical check up. Mummy then dropped Emeryn at Pekaka after her class and she headed to downtown for a shopping spree with her friends. It has been years since mummy went shopping with her girlfriends and it's without Emeryn. Mummy happily bought 2 pairs of heels for herself and later went to her facial appointment. Mummy picked Emeryn at about 9pm and we went home.

On Sun morning, Por Por and Ah Kong came over and brought Emeryn to QBM and to the wet market. They then sent her home around noon. We spent the afternoon at home, with mummy guiding Emeryn on her school work. Later we went to Por Por's place for dinner.

CNY Shopping

It was another public holiday on 24th Jan, Thurs, The Prophet Muhammad's Birthday. We spent the whole morning at home with mummy guiding Emeryn on her school work. CNY is drawing nearer and we need to do our shopping too. We drove out to the Tan & Ho Child Optometry Clinic Sdn Bhd for Emeryn's eye check up. Earlier we detected she has astigmatism but it does not need to be corrected at that point of time. It was more like an annual check. At first Emeryn was a lil' uneasy with all the equipments in the room and she was scared and refused to do further check. After much consolation by the doctor, she gave in. The doctor was very child-friendly and very accommodative. It is highly recommended for young children. Emeryn's eye condition was good and we will come back for another yearly check up.

We then walked over to Tan Mark Bookstore and finally managed to buy the BM and BC textbook. After leaving the bookstore, we drove over to Prangin Mall for our CNY hunting. We managed to buy another beautiful dress for Emeryn at RM75. We went for our fav tom yam before continuing our shopping. We spotted a pair of high heels for Emeryn. Emeryn begged mummy to get it for her, and after much begging mummy gave in to her request. She was obviously happy with her heels. She wanted to wear it immediately but mummy rejected. Upon reaching home, Emeryn wore the heels and walked around parading her so-called new found love.

Last Fri mummy didn't go out for her usual dinner and drinks outing. After picking Emeryn from school, we drove pass by pasar malam at Perak Lane. It was huge and mummy tempted to go for a walk but unfortunately she can't find a car park space. We went home and thought of coming over after our shower. After mummy came out from shower, Emeryn has already fallen asleep. Thus, it was another silent nite for mummy.

Emeryn attended Art Class on Sat as usual and spent her Sat afternoon at Pekaka. As for Sun, we went over to Por Por's house as usual for our meal. Por Por helped to translate Emeryn's BC textbook into Han Yu Pin Yin for mummy for easier guidance.

Update from fb: Lil' cheeky was waiting patiently for me to finish my ironing for a board game together. I keep on telling her tomorrow, we will have a game session but she insisted to wait thou she was a bit sleepy. The ironing seems to take me forever. I halted for a moment, turned off the iron and we had a game. She was all happy even thou she lost. I'm glad that I stopped my chores to give her the lil' time she wanted. Kids are easy to pleased :)

Update from school: Everyday after school, lil' cheeky would run happily towards mummy with a big smile and a big tight hug. It was such a wonderful moment seeing lil' cheeky running happily towards me while pulling her school bag and calling me M-U-M-M-Y at the school compound. And gave me a big tight hug. That gesture was absolutely priceless!!! No matter how good the day is, nothing compares to this.

Emeryn attended Art Class as usual on Sat morning and we then spent the whole afternoon at home. We took a nap before going out. Our first stop was at  Tan Mark bookstore but unfortunately the BM textbook is out of stock. We badly need a new BM textbook as the existing one was too old and it's without book cover too. Ended up mummy bought 5 Malay story books for Emeryn. After leaving the bookstore, we went to Youth Park where Emeryn practise her skills on scooter in the evening. It was running late before we headed over for dinner at the hawker's place.

On Sun, we went over to Por Por's place earlier than usual. We went there at about 2.30pm and had our lunch before going over to the beach. Mummy wanted to test out her new tripod on the beach. It was a hot sunny day and we were all bbq-ed under the sun. Nevertheless we had fun under the sun too. We left before the skies turn dark and stopped over at Gurney Paragon to redeem the ice-blended which mummy purchased the voucher earlier. We went home right after that.
