In and Out

of my mac, I farm.


My hong Kong Kai Lan.


And some harvested spinach but regrowed ones at the back.(cannot eat wan... very keras)

All being harvested. And replanted with more Kai Lan and Spinach.

I had a batch of spinach which was harvested for Justin's porridge. Very good to plant myself cos we only need a lil for Justin's porridge and if we buy from the supermarket, we use lil by lil everyday and end up half of it we'll throw away. Very easy, throw seed, water and wait.

Creative Farmer

My hub's cousin sent me this link of a farm. So I went and checked it out...

Goodness!

The Harley wording were made from haystacks.
Surrounding it is orange trees.
Far top is actually cotton.
I didn't go in to see the farm with the cotton bloomed.
If it bloomed, it should be fully white.

Creative eh?

Oh cherries....

I blogged about my cherries in my other blog and I wrote about how i wish they turn red soon.

One day after I have posted about my cherries, they turn red. Actually one turned red and fell down to the ground.

My Small cherry plant.

So this lil one waited for me to snap some pictures. 

And so I did. Moreover it just rained and it's covered with rain water.

This was my last shot before we left to pick Jayden up from school.

And when we got home I asked him to go and pluck it from the tree. This was him, looking at the cherry, waiting for me to bring him to the kitchen to wash it before he can taste it.

I took a bite and it was sweet and sour. But the core was very huge. Hmmm nevermind probably if the tree bear more fruits we can eat more eh?

oh by the way, Do you use smileys or even animation icons? If yes, you can download loads of cool icons from SWEETIM

The Things They Said...

Before my heart attack moment in the pool, I went to get myself pampered like a Shooi Tai Tai. Nolah, hers nicer. I never get the flowery ones. Just the plain one.

It was unplanned . Cos Big C ordered a new bed so I gotto get out of the house when they moved the bed into our house, pantang sikit la.. So I brought J to a nearby shopping complex and since he was asleep, I walked into a nail shop and asked "How much ah?" Its been a long long time since I have done mani and pedi for myself. So why not?

Jayden slept through the 2 hours (or less) and I managed to get my nails pretty. So being the "new customer" there, I just sat + observed + listen to the staff and the "frequent customers" yakking away.

They talked about kids, how the kids embarrassed them and so on.

First lady: my daughter said Oh S-H-I-T ( she spelt it cos her daughter of 3 yrs old was there with her). Hahaha You know how embarrassed is that?

Second Lady: Aiyah Oh SHIT nevermind-lah..my nephew told my dad "Koong koong you know? That man stole mummy's bag without asking her permission. THAT BASTARD AH....." Lagi teruk. My dad got heart attack when he heard him saying that! Hahahaha

Third lady (the staff) : hahaha that day our customer came and she was scolding her son about something. Then the son yelled "Mummy stop scolding me or I'll tell everyone you ate daddy's kukubird ah!" You say! Funny or not? hahahahhahaha

Not only u get a nice pedi and manicure, your mind also got relaxed abit with the stuff they said. haha

pass me a bib please.....

*drool*


Pic from here.

*droolssss*

Leng Chai or not???? Leng Chai Or not????

Very grungy and dirty look. I likey. Okay, i'm not gonna cut Jayden's hair. His dad been pestering me to cut his hair SHORT or even shave him bald. No No.. I want my son to look like David Cook.

Okay I will be very busy looking at his pic and hope that my no2 looks like him also. Eh? Means my kiddo will be a son ah ? Nehmind Just look la. Maybe the girl version might look nice also. Eh means I'm carrying a girl ah? I also dunno la! muahahahah If not then I hope he/she has his talent in singing but not bar tendering la. Muahahahahah

And this song! How come he can sing nicer than the original singer? Oh yeah cos he's a damn good looking guy! muahahahahahahahhahaha

Point Point Finger...

Over the weekend I was at my aunts' place. Another uncle of mine told us that his son got an E for his Mandarin. He kept making fun of my cousin - E is for Enough. And he kept attacking the son "You think you're car izit? E is enough and F is Full"? The poor boy just put his head down. "Tomorrow when I go and see your teacher then you will know what is ENOUGH.

It was his first time taking mandarin exam and mandarin wasn't his core language. Besides speaking mandarin in mandarin class, no one teaches him or speak to him.

I asked my uncle "Who won't get red marks when they reach secondary sch? You never get red marks before meh? And also who teach him mandarin?"

The father kept quiet.

I added "Come to think of it, scoring all As doesn't mean you're smart. You're good in memorising the answers to the question. The most important thing is understanding what you learn. Do you want him to be book smart or street smart?"

He kept quiet.

Not enough I added somemore salt to the wound "Some of my straight A friends cannot find job. Why? cos they don't know how to answer in an interview. Not being taught in sch before and it's not written in the text book. So they are like dunggu".

And the wife agreed "yeah yeah some ppl came for interview don't even know how to fill in the forms". The wife is a principle in an intl kindy :D.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What I am pissed of was, the father only know how to scold and point finger at the kid(s) for doing badly in the exam. But he never ask himself "Why did he score badly in the exam? Did he get enough guidance? What did I do as a father to help my own son?" Worst come to worst blame it on the mother for the son's bad results. That's what we human always do. Point one finger at another person and totally forgot that there's at least another 3 fingers pointing back to our self. It's always why YOU never do this and why YOU never do that. What about yourself?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just like our kids being naughty. Normally, parents will say "My kids is notty la."
Really?
Think again.
They are notty because....they are not doing things according to the way WE want it. Its always about how we want it. How about their feelings? Did u ever ask them how they want it to be? We want things to go according to us so that our plan can go on smoothly, just the way we want it. But does it mean that your way is the ideal way? The best way? And one more thing, do you ever wonder that they are notty because ....they followed your footstep?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another thing - Hyper kids. The parents cannot cope. So the parent will say "Oh they are hyperactive!". I went to a talk that day and she told us that there are no hyperactive kids. There's only under active parents like us. Cos we're so lazy to chase after them. But why are they moving so fast ? Cos the brains are working twice and they are 2 times smarter than US, adults. So do you think they wil sit still? If they sit still, you should be worried. HAH! One good example that she used is "Have u seen Tom & Jerry sitting down in the cartoon? No right? They are moving. That's why children love to watch them. But we adult dislike it. Instead we like to sit down , watch Korean Drama for 3 days 3 nights, cry cry cry, no eat no sleep and still enjoy it. Why? No need to move and use brain..that's why.. That's how underactive we are now. Nah Nah Nah...dun come and attack me cos i said the Korean Drama ok? I know many of you guys watch it, I'm just repeating what she said during the talk.

So sometimes when I see ppl scold the kids or say that they are naughty, I really want to laugh out loud. Cos they forgot to evaluate themself and just like to blame others for own mistake. Okay dun wanna laugh at people too much, I need to evaluate myself also. I'm also a new parent and I'm not perfect. Ok,I wanna do meditate now and think about it..

Aummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

My Apple

If you ask yr kid to look at the picture above and you ask them "What do you see in this picture?". They will answer "APPLES!"

They wont answer like how we will answer "Red apples, Green apples, slightly yellow and green apples, blablabla and all the other facts that will make people think that we're so brilliant because we can see the different things in just a few Apples.

But to them, Apple is Apple. Red or green, its still Apple. Taste slightly different-but who cares.It's still crunchy. That's how simple, pure and innocent the mind is.

If we can nurture our kid(s) to think like how they have perceived the Apple, they will grow up to be a special Apple - unique by itself, humble and nice.

To them, they are an apple like every other people and they have their own taste. i.e they are good in their own special way- no need to compare with another person to make them self feel great.

I want my Apple to be humble and nice. How about you?

And the winner is...........

!

Ice Cream + Gwen Stefani + Giggles = ??

We're in Carrefour Subang and we bought him McD ice cream. He happily sat quietly in the stroller and lick the ice cream and once we're in the car, Gwen Stefani's latest single was on the radio.



He asked me to snap my fingers and follow the song. And I did.

And he giggled and he....

Saya mau cerita hari ini...

Ceritanya begini.

Satu bulan yang lepas, saya pergi satu rumah la. Kononnya "gathering". Semua orang sudah sampai kecuali satu keluarga. Semua pun sudah start makan la.....Lepas itu baru keluarga itu datang and Si Suami terus duduk dan makan sambil berbual dengan orang lain.

Si isteri duduk di lantai untuk suapkan si anak no.1 dan anak no.2  yang suka makan dengan slow-motion.

Semua orang pun diam tengok si suami makan slowwwwww aje...berbual senda dengan orang, dan si isteri yang lapar dan letih masih suapkan anaks-anaksnya makan. Tiba-tiba makcik si suami berkata kepada si isteri "Adoi si isteri. Kesiannya engkau. Sendiri sungguh lapar tapi masih kena suapkan anak-anak kamu makan" sambil jeling-jeling kat si suami.

Semua orang diam dan tunggu si suami untuk bangun dan tolong si isteri.

Tiba-tiba, si suami bangun dan......................................

Berjalan ke arah tempat mengambil minuman. Selepas itu, dia balik ke tempat asalnya dan minum minumannya dan teruskan makan and berbual senda.

Selepas si isteri habis suapkan anak-anaksnya makan, barulah dia ke meja untuk makan makanan yang sudah sejuk

Begitulah cerita saya hari ini.

Apa yang saya boleh katakan selepas melihat sendiri apa yang telah terjadi, saya berasa amat bertuah yang Si suami itu bukan suami saya dan saya bukan si isteri itu. Kalau itu suami saya...habis la dia. Kan?

Sekian, terima kasih.

Turn Left, Turn Right...

You can see flaglines, buntings and banners of ppl saying " VOTE FOR ME....X". Some looked so damn farnie esp with one side of the specs so blurred like she just got out from a steam room. Some look so damn ganas, and some you will say "HUH? Who the heck is this fella. Oh I have seen his face before, 4 years ago! I wonder where he went for the past 4 years after the last electi0n.

And then you will get sms, letters, then flyers inviting you to some ceramah. Last night, there were 2 ceramahs at my housing area. One, came with nicely arranged chairs at the best spot with spotlights, and sound system and even started with Lion Dance. Another was held in front of a shoplot, very kesian with just one small stage, sound system and some spotlight. We passed by the one with the Lion Dance......*cricket sound*........ and we went to the 2nd one. The ceramah got delayed abit and there was already many people hanging around there. A van came and give away some mineral water and fried mee hoon. The ceramah ppl got no idea who the heck that guy was but obviously he was a very supportive supporter.

They announced that the previous ceramah they managed to get donations of RM35,000 in SS2 Pasar Malam. Bear in mind, it was pouring like mad on Monday night and still, they managed to get RM35,000. Last night I heard from Big C that many people gave donations too. And the other ceramah....*cricket sound*...

Jayden thought we're there for some Barney show and he started clapping his hands and after 15 minutes of listening to that DR talking, we went home. Big C walked out (damn semangat!) and came home at near to 11pm.

This morning, as usual I went to buy my breakfast and the bread seller asked me "Last night you heard the ceramah or not?" I said I came for a while but my husband stayed. He said that he stayed near to 12. He said "That CHOW MAI FUN (meehoon goreng) dun support them jek. Use our money to hire LION DANCE samo. Niamah, that's our money you know!. They always like to waste money. The ink for the nails also waste our money. Now not going to use. We must fight, if not our children will susah you know?"

So I came to work this morning and thought about what Big C and the bread seller told me. "WE ARE VOTING FOR OUR CHILDREN'S GENERATION YOU KNOW?????".

While I was driving, I saw the very familiar banners again. $Vote for me$...$vote for me$....Then I got stuck at the same spot for a very long time and my mind went off flying dunno where while thinking about what they said and I thought of this..

Please vote for me.
I no LIE to you wan.
And I am not greedy, I only want 2 chitchits. That's all.
And you can see me here 365 days. :)



Yes, for our future. I will vote. You vote too okay?

A night of snapping in NZX

We went to NZX on wednesday. And we went again last night just to snap some pics.


Only half of the shops are opened. Heard that the opening is this Sat. Should be more happening by then. They have clothings, Manicure + Pedicure, Kiddos toys and clothings, Hair Cut centre, lotsa buble tea place and bla bla bla

J liked one particular store because they have toys all over the floor.


Looking forward for this...

Angie...please control yrself ok?

There are stalls selling cny stuffs..

Looking forward for CNY!


Lotsa Mickeys for sale because this is the year of Mickey (Rat)!

Huge pots of Kat Chai (lime) for sale. This is super huge lime but according to the promoter, it is not advisable to eat these Kat Chais because of the chemical to spray on the Kat Chais to prevent it from falling.

And Jayden says...OTI!

Oh yeah back to the reason why I was there....

For this!




the tree is huge.....sorry not for sale yeah. Its decoration only...








Light bulb in every single flower.



I like the dots effect at the back of the flower...nice or not?

And then they have blue ones too...

But I like the pink ones better. More "CNY feel". While I was snapping pics of the flowers, I accidenly walked onto an ants nest. Snap, Snap, snap then I started jumping while holding my dslr. Got bitten by ants! And then when Iturned around I saw this man holding another dslr taking pictures of flowers (I hope he didn't snap my picture jumping up and down). So if you happen to blog hop and see my silly pic, do let me know k? *scratch leg* sooooo itchyy..

So proly you guys want to go and have a look too? here's the map.

What I have learnt today...

That female dogs are called bitches but female cats are called Queens. How come the cat get the nicer and so high class name?

Since the female cat are called queens then the male cats are called Kings?

Nope, they are called Tom. But Male dogs are called..........Dogs. Just dogs.

Since Tom is male cat, male mouse should be called Jerry? Nope. They are called....mouse.

And do you know that Vitamin A is not just for good eye sight. It prevents you from gaining back your weight after you have lost some. Ahhhh...that's good news eh?

Puppies also need DHA for brain development so that they're easily trained.

Pregnant dogs also gotto take DHA so that the puppies born are smarter.

Cats will get hairball problem in the tummy because they licked themselves and the bulu masuk the tummy and become a ball and they need to eat special diet food to keluarkan the hairball thru the poop.

Ah, like that la. That's what I learnt in a day training today and that's why no update until now. [smile]

I want Rambutan!

Yesterday Morning:
Big C: wuah..you look at our neighbour’s rambutan tree! Full with rambutan. And they never eat it!

I took a peek and yes, the tree is indeed yellow. Full with Rambutans.

Yesterday whole day in my mind…
Rambutan.
Rambutan.
Rambutan.
I need to eat Rambutan.
Go home early and walk to neighbour’s house to take picture of rambutan.
Then at night go pasar malam to buy rambutan.

So I reached home pretty early and I walked towards my neighbour’s backyard. It was blocked with the gate since the robbery of my direct next door neighbour’s house. Dang, I cannot even go near to the Rambutan. I cannot take a close up picture of the Rambutans. Disappointed, I went to pick my son up.

So we fast fast ate our dinner and zuumed to Pasar Malam. Walked, bought food, food and more food. For breakfast lah, for Lunch lah. For my son’s snacklah. Semua lah. And NO RAMBUTAN AT ALL!

Howe Kek Sum ah! (Very Disappointed)

If its not Rambutan season how come my neighbour’s tree is full with Rambutan?

Big C said “Aiyah, later tonight I go and take for you la”

" Crazy Kah? People make the gate to block pencuri (robber) and now you wanna steal Rambutan for me? Aiyah no need la. Sekali people catch you then you know"

So I end up eating Thai BBQ stick.




And then, I went into the room and tried to watch tv. Cannot. Still not enough. And I ate my breakfast as supper. So Kerry, you wanna know what I eat for Breakfast? Initially this was my breakfast but I ter-ate edi. Can ah? My normal breakfast is just Nescafe and Nescafe only. 



Arghhhh!!! I want my Rambutan!!!

What Do You Want For Your Special Day?

He asked me "B, what do you want this year?"

Seriously I don't know what I want from him.

But I know what I wanna get for myself this year when I have enough money in my PayPal soon.

Check out the sharpness of the pic. Not sharp at all. I found these 2 caterpillars outside my house chomping on my neighbour's flower/plant.




Check out the PooPoo! Like hand grenade.


Overly exposed with flash.

And the plant became botak (bald) the next morning.

You want an Answer?

Last Friday at this time I was in Putrajaya. My boss asked me to visit some department to get an answer.
Can or cannot do such such thing on the label or packaging la. So I drove all the way there, pay toll, drove and went round and round for a parking. If you havent been there, don't hope for a covered parking okay? It's written "PARKING" but you see closely somewhere near that sign its written "ORANG AWAM DILARANG MASUK". So park at the open air car park and walk la.

So I went to this building and asked the guard there and he pointedTingkat 4. Ada dua belah. Masuk kiri.So I followed his instruction la. And then I arrived at this place where its locked and there's no bell for you to press. So wait la for a while...and then a guy opened the door and I went in. The reception area looked like..errrr don't look like there's anyone been sitting there for ages. So i went in and tried to look for human to ask some question to get my job done. So I said.."Excuse me, blablabla so am I in the right place?" And that lovely lady gave me a nicest smile ever..

(just that she is chubbier and wore bright red lipstick)
And she asked me
Macam mana you masuk?
You dari company apa?
Apa hal you nak tanya?
Siapa panggil masuk sini?
Sini memang takde buat benda macam ini.

So, i politely asked her...so if I wanna ask things like this, where should I go to?

You pergi sana.So sana I went and it's a numbered counter. Need to take number lo. So took number and waited. Many uncles there waiting in line.
Wait.
Wait.
Wait.
and wait.
and wait for dunno how long.
DING 200 - no one moved
DING 201 - no one moved
DING 202
DING 203

Yay! My number. So I asked and showed some sample of what I was trying to explain to them. And they cheekily asked me "Eh you dari company ini ka? (competitor) Macam mana boleh menang ini contest ah? Ah?? You bukan dari sini ka...Chey. Sini takde buat benda macam ini. You turun tingkat bawah tanya dia orang. Itu Dept buat ini punya."

So turun I did and I managed to stop a guy from going into the "heavily locked door". And asked him. You pergi
So i said But i baru naik and they asked me to

Oh yakah? Okay la Masuk sini la. Cari Miss XXX.

So Masuked la saya into that office. Cari Miss XXX la I did. Waited la I did, and they told me Miss XXX takde hari ini. Apa you nak? So that guy passed me to a pregnant lady la. And that pregnant lady bring me walk up and down the office la and went round and round la and she caught this guy En XXX. So i went to see En XXX and En XXX asked me to sit (after ding dong for so long baru boleh sit down) and I explained to him.

En XXX is very nice. He said that there's no such dept that handle this kinda thing. Normally company just do it (like nike huh?) and hope that consumers don't call and complaint. If complaint then only they investigate.

So Finally i got my answer.

And I drove backto my office. Travelled 90 km. Paid Rm 6.2o toll. 3 hours. And I told my boss, the answer he gave me and she said .....

"ohh.."

Okay, some said why in the first place i never call first. My answer: If only they pick up the damn fone. I've been calling for hours the day before i went there.
