@ QBM for Mother's Day

The exam madness was finally over after the four dragged days. For the whole week, we revised crazily the very last minutes till late nights. Poor baby. Mummy even allowed Emeryn to skipped her BM tuition on Tues to give way for her revision. A week before, Emeryn has started to invite her classmate to her birthday party, which mummy has yet to promise her anything. She took the lead to invite her friends even we have not book the venue. She told them it would be held at KFC, Green Lane on 8th July around dinner time. Her classmates even confirmed on their attendance. She has been bugging mummy to prepare her birthday invitation cards. As soon as the exam was over, it was time to rejoice and unwind irregardless of the result. On Thurs, we headed to KFC at Batu Lanchang for dinner and to inquire further about the birthday party package.

Sat was a schooling day to replace for the upcoming Raya break. School starts at 12.30pm - 3.50pm. While Emeryn was at school, mummy went hunting for a new daycare center. Mummy found one potentially good daycare at Hargreaves Road, less than 1km away from Emeryn's school. After school ended, mummy brought Emeryn over to the center for a short visit. We then headed home and get ready for our so-called Mother's Day dinner. We had our dinner at Sri Sawadeee along with Toki Ee Ee who flew back from Singapore, Carmen Ee Ee and Sherine Ee Ee who drove back from KL for the celebration. After the scrumptious meal, we headed for coffee and chit chat session at Brew 32 located at Green Hall. It was a very cozy place for hang out. We ended our night at about 11pm.

The next day, Sun was the exact day for Mother's Day. At 11am, mummy brought Emeryn to Adventist as Jia Yee needed to do an online 30mins assessment for her. Also, we just got to know about the free photo shoot organized by Queensbay Mall in conjunction of Mother's Day. After the hospital visit, we picked Ah Kong and Por Por on our way to QBM. We had lunch at Porridge Time, Emeryn's favorite before queuing up for the photo shoot. It includes simple make over for mummy, with any purchase of RM50 and above in a single receipt. After the photo shoot, Toki Ee Ee joined us for shopping. We shopped for Ah Kong's attire to be worn for Theng Ee Ee's wedding. After the shopping, we had our tea break along with Sherine Ee Ee and her family at Old Town before leaving QBM. We went home for a short rest before coming out for our very own Mother's Day dinner with Theng Ee Ee, Toki Ee Ee, Por Por and Ah Kong.

Happy Labour Day

After mummy came back from Langkawi on Mon, again she left for KL on Thurs, Labour Day. Mummy left around noon on Thurs right after Beena Kor Kor picked Emeryn from our place. Emeryn spent the whole afternoon with Beena Kor Kor before she dropped Emeryn to Por Por's place in the evening. Emeryn stayed a nite with Ah Kong and Por Por. Por Por helped Emeryn with her Chinese revision as exam is just on the following week.The next morning, Ah Kong sent Emeryn to daycare and fetched her after school. After getting her shower, Beena Kor Kor came and brought Emeryn over to her place. Emeryn stayed at Kor Kor's place on Fri nite. Kor Kor sent Emeryn to Art Class on Sat and dropped her home at about 8pm on Sat after mummy came home. Being away just for 2 nites, mummy has to planned properly for Emeryn, arranging her transport, school work and making sure her daily routine does not get interrupted.

Mummy bought a set of 15 all-in-one board games for Emeryn from KL. We had a game of her choice before the revision kicks in. We had a quick revision before our bed time. The next morning we went out for breakfast and bumped into Aunty Mei. After the breakfast we went home and continued with revision. In between revision, mummy allows 30mins tv time before revising again. We played the board game as well. After losing two rounds of Chinese checkers, lil' cheeky decided to swap our sitting arrangement and yet she lost. There goes the fight!!! We went over to Por Por's house for late lunch. It was a quick visit as we rushed home to continue with the revision again. Mummy asked Por Por's help to translate the Mandarin workbook for her and mummy continues to struggle with the Mandarin revision with Emeryn. Even with very limited knowledges and resources, mummy tried her best to do the Mandarin revision. The saying of "The banana leading the blind."

Mummy Went to Langkawi

dinner @ KFC

Before mummy flew to Langkawi on Sat, mummy brought Emeryn to KFC, Green Lane on Fri for dinner. Mummy wanted to spend some time with her baby before leaving for her short break. Due to mummy's flight was on 4.15pm, we rescheduled her Art Class before GB Maths class on Sat. Mummy dropped Emeryn to Ah Kong right after her class before hurrying to the airport. Emeryn spent her weekend with Por Por and Ah Kong till the following Mon.

Updates from fb: Kids nowadays are too technology savvy. Monday - she had a phone call. Tuesday - they exchanged several smses. Wednesday - they are on wechat discussing their school homework.

 

Goodbye, Karpal.

It was a sad week, learning that YB Karpal Singh has passed away in a car accident. Mummy was more than determined to attend the wake of the late YB. Somehow Emeryn knows who is the late YB Karpal was. We had fond memory of him especially last year during the election campaign. His huge banner was everywhere near our residential area. And yes, he was the Bukit Gelugor constituency. During that same time, Emeryn was in her cast and on her stroller (a replacement for wheelchair) after her leg injury. She was having the cast for at least 6weeks and mummy used to teased her. Mummy has to pushed her everywhere she goes, which reminiscent the late YB Karpal. Each time when mummy teased Emeryn of being the late YB's girlfriend, she would got mad. That's the memory we had. So mummy asked if Emeryn wanted to attend the wake along with mummy and she replied "Yes".

On Sat, Emeryn attended her classes as usual and mummy picked her at 5pm. We then headed straight to the late YB Karpal's residence. A traffic congestion started about 400m before his residence. We parked at the Youth Park entrance and walked across to hi residence. We queued to go into the living hall to pay our last respect and bade him farewell. The crowd was tremendously supportive and the visitors come from all walks of life. We donated to the Gurdwara foundation and to Michael, the late YB's aide. After leaving his residence, we bought dinner home and spent our evening at home.

Mummy woke up early on Sun to catch the live screening of the late YB Karpar's funeral aired on ubah.tv. Emeryn spent her morning watching her favorite movie. We headed to Por Por's house at about 3pm for our late lunch before going home again. Mummy started to do revision with Emeryn for her school exam preparation.

Eyeball Soup, anyone???

I laughed so hard following our conversation after guiding her the wrong answer.

Emeryn: Why didn't you read properly?
Me: It's your homework, not mine. You are supposed to read, not me.
Emeryn: Later I'll remove your eyes and cook eyeball soup.

Eyeball soup??? Heard of it before??? Lol

The Weekend Affairs

 dinner @ 600cc

 

 

playground time

Rio 2

lunch @ Morganfields

@ Cartoon World

It was definitely a fun-filled weekend. One of the day after school, we had our dinner at 600cc and Emeryn ordered the kids meal. The set comes with fresh milk stored in a milk bottle which truly captured Emeryn's attention. After the meal, she wanted to bring home the milk bottle but mummy stopped her.

Our fun-filled weekend started after Emeryn attended all her 3 classes on Sat. Mummy made breakfast that morning and Emeryn shared it too. After Art Cass, we went to the playground at Green Lane as mummy spotted some tecoma trees and intended to shoot some photo there. After the photo shooting, Emeryn had some time at the playground skipping away and enjoyed the park facilities. After trying for about 2 weeks, she finally can skip. After sweating it out, we bought dinner home.

We started our Sun earlier than usual as mummy has bought a movie ticket via online. We had a quick bite at home before driving to Gurney Paragon TGV, the newly opened cinema. We watched Rio 2 at 11.50am and Emeryn bumped into her school mate at the same cinema. After our movie, we satisfy our tumbling  tummies at Morganfield's before hopping to the Cartoon World. Again mummy has purchased a deal for the Cartoon World  earlier. Emeryn started off with the playpen area while mummy left for a quick shopping. On and off mummy would walked over to check on Emeryn. Before leaving the themepark, Emeryn bravely tried on the skating. It was her first experience and mummy accompanied her all the way. Mummy held onto her hand and guided her. Mummy has never skate in her whole life before, thus has no idea how it would be. Mummy went into the skating ring barefooted to guide Emeryn. It was quite a good experience for a first timer and Emeryn did not fall even once. We headed over to Por Por's house after that for our dinner and our usual visit.

Por Por's 54th Birthday

 

   

 

 

On Fri evening, mummy dropped Emeryn at Por Por's place while she went out for her casual Fri outing before bringing Emeryn home at 11.30pm. Emeryn was already asleep when mummy reached Por Por's place. On Sat, Emeryn attended her 3 classes as usual while mummy tried to get more sleep as she was having mild headache. We came home after Art Class before driving to the airport to pick up Toki Ee Ee. Ee Ee came back to give a surprise birthday celebration for Por Por. We then went for a Thai dinner @ Tan Jetty.

We planned for a birthday lunch for Por Por at Starview, New World Park on Sun. Before heading to the restaurant, mummy bought a cake and a small bouquet of flower for Por Por. Mummy's granny joined us for the lunch as well. After the birthday lunch, we went to Prangin Mall as Por Por needed to get a dress for Theng Ee Ee's wedding next month. After visiting several shops, Por Por decided on a glamorous black gown. We went over to Por Por's house after the shopping to kill our time before meeting Sherine Ee Ee and family for dinner. Baby Zhi Wei was at the dinner too and Emeryn glued herself to him. She absolutely adores baby. We headed home after the dinner and Ah Kong sent Ee Ee to the airport.
