Family Day...

Yesterday was Alyssa school's family day. We're arrived behind 5 minutes at 7.35 am (required to be in the school at 7.30 am). I can see all the parents are busy taking pictures and video of their children in the class.

Right, everyone are required to be at the Multipurpose Hall where the celebration will be held. All the student are noisy while walking to the Hall, they are actually very happy and excited... how I wish if I could be one of them, hehe...

The games get started just after the National Anthem, School Song, Prayer by the student and speech by the guest of honour.

Sunflower class where Lyssa with, their game will be the "sack race", other games for other classes such as "tank game", "crab race", "roll & carry" and so on.

Oh well, Mummy's turn to play the "bursting balloon" game, errmmm... I only managed to burst 4 balloon belong to other Mummy's. Guess what? Lyssa scolded me for not being the winner... she said "apalah kau ni Mummy, tidak pandai main", haha... what a girl...

Came to the finale... student are asked to line up and parents to stand infront of their children and dance together with "Hockey Pockey" song... and again at home Lyssa told me... "Kau ni kan Mummy, saya sudah ajar menari "Hockey Pockey", kau salah-salah lagi tadi di dewan", adedeiii ni tondu sa ni...

The power of your passion

Though the odds may not be in your favor, you can do it. Though the challenges are great, you can make it happen. People will likely tell you it's impossible. Even so, you can find a way to make it possible and to make it real. When it means enough to you, then you can do it. When you are willing and committed and persistent, you will get yourself there. Look within yourself and find those values that you most earnestly desire to express with your life. The things that are most genuinely important to you are the things that will power your achievements. When you can put the power of your passion behind it, you will create it. Make the effort to find and to know that passion, and there is no limit to what you can accomplish. Be utterly true to who you are. And fulfill your greatest possibilities.

-- Ralph Marston --

Jobless seems handicaped though *sigh*

My cousin Nesia Morris from Tawau and residing in Belgium for a long time now, came and visited us in Kg Nosoob (at Grandma house) last Sunday after a long time didn't meet each other. I still remember the last time we met was during our childhood... that was very long ago. By the way, Nesia married to a Belgium, blessed with 2 sons Jeremiah (11) and Timothy (9). We're very happy to meet each other again, eventhough they just drop by awhile, visiting and to say goodbye as they are leaving for Tawau that Sunday with afternoon flight, for 3 weeks in Tawau and after that back to Belgium.

Guess what? I managed to mentioned about blogging to Nesia, and hey... she's blogging too but seldom updating her blog due to busy with work, she's teaching. But will check her blog from time to time. There we go... continue in touch through blogging anyway...*wink*

Meet them...

The last time we went to Waterworld was early last year. It was my kids demanded for water activities at Waterworld again, but brought them to 1Borneo 2 weeks ago instead of Waterworld, and without my Niece and Nephew as they went for Sunday School.

Last night, my Niece and Nephew asked me when will be their turn to go to 1Borneo or to Waterworld? ohhh...pity them *sigh* Well, not to disappoint them, I promise to bring them to Waterworld this coming Friday (18 July) after school, since I'm still off till 20 July. I was told by them, on Friday there will be a special discount to enter the Theme Park...*grin* Alright, set! they seems happy with that deal... *wink* And below is our picture taken early last year...

Who To Be Blame...?

Saturday was a bad day for Zachary. He was so anxious wanted to play outside my parents house (arround the garage). Pity looking at him cried and cried wanted to go outside, then I let him played with Alyssa and Avrill, I was there too looking after them. Well, my Mom, my Aunties, my Uncle and my Sister are at the varanda having their evening coffee and at the same time they're busy fuguring out their "4D". I get into the house for a second to get pen and paper for them to write since they can look after the kids for a while.

Suddenly, I heard everyone shouted "odoiiii dogo!" (in Kadazan words mean something like "oh no!"), I knew something gone wrong. I immediately ran out and found out that Zachary fell down, was slippered while running around and he knocked his face onto the cement, ohhhhh... *sigh* I carried and hug him, he cries in pain saying "Mummy it's painful while pointing the wound, what a day for him. I then, wipe his wound with warm water and put the "minyak batu" (chinese medicine). Zachary was fine after that. I'm so guilty everytime looking at Zachary's face (the wound is around his eyes)

20 minutes after the incident...


The next day...

I blame myself for this incident, I shouldn't have leave them...*sigh*

I feel so sorry for Zachary, I hope his wound will get better soon...

Never Argue With A Woman Who Reads...

Just for a laugh...

One morning, the husband returns the boat to their lakeside cottage after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap.

Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, puts her feet up and begins to read her book. The peace and solitude are magnificent.

Along comes a Fish & Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, 'Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?'

'Reading a book,' she replies, thinking, isn't that obvious?

'You're in a Restricted Fishing Area,' he informs her.

'I'm sorry, Officer but I'm not fishing. I'm reading.'

'Yes, but I see you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up.'

'If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault,' says the woman.

'But I haven't even touched you,' says the Game Warden.

'That's true but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.'

'Have a nice day ma'am,' and he left.



MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.

THE SECRET...

Have you heard about "The Secret"? My colleague Loretta, keep talking about this in the office, until she brought the DVD to office for everybody to watch. But since we have been talking about this during our last two weeks exhibition trip to Sandakan, I never bother to listen anymore. Then suddenly I came across "The Secret" again from my friend's blog this morning, which urge me to take a little time to read... and hey! it's quite interesting though...

It's about...

As Alyssa and Jeremiah are well aware with their demands to have fun Sunday outing yesterday, they woke up very early at 6.30 am not as usual Sunday, they woke up only after 8.00 am. Get their selves clean and after drinking their milk, we went to my parents house. At parents house, as usual I prepared breakfast for everybody, my breakfast menu yesterday was very simple, well you know... just “fried rice mix with eggs and sausage”


Ok, done with breakfast then get the kids selves clean again, rest awhile then changed their clothes and ready to go...


At 10.20 am... ok let's go kids... everybody get into our old Iswara. We drop by at Sacred Heart Church to fetch my sister and continue our journey to a fantastic destination (I was told by friends)...*wink*


Yesss!!! 1Borneo, here we come... Oh! great, parking is free until further notice.

Right, without wasting our time, we straight away look for no other but the AMUSEMENT CENTRE for the kids to have fun!!!

Wow! my kids get very excited looking at the “Boo Boo Land” (Hubby and I are so happy looking at our kids feel happy and excited). But hey... we get confused as soon as we entered the Amusement Centre our kids shouting “Mummy! Daddy! I want to play this and that” the kids pointing at different games though. Errrmmm... I only budgeted a few Ringgits for them to play. Anyway, to be fair with them, we choose those games that three of them can played together, such as these...*wink*


We're so happy and really had fun too looking at the kids enjoying all the games. Hey... they wanted to play all the games but no! no! kids. This is the last games they went...


Kids spent longer time here, but Alyssa being so unfair to her brothers. While her brothers enjoying the bouncing castle, Alyssa whispered to me, “Mummy I want to play the water activities” Without her brothers knowing it... there you go Alyssa got 2 extra games here...


How could you Alyssa!!!

Ohhhh... the kids never get tired though, they still wanted to play more, but card reload show RM00.00, so how? *wink* Ok kids enough for the games, its lunch time... lets go! go round and round, finally seen KFC (the only affordable price among all I guess...hehe) Yummy!


After KFC then go home!!!

Opss! around Likas Square suddenly noise turn silent... what happened? Ohhh... no wonder my three musketeers tired and fallen Zzzzz, shhh...


Reached home around 1.45 pm, kids continue sleeping...

Oh man! almost forgotten, I've ordered cake from Anies and suppose to collect it. Sent SMS to Anies to confirm the time and place to meet up... right confirmed at 2.30 pm around Lembah Impian. My Aunty LC drive me there, opsss... Anies is already there, sorry to keep you waiting Anies and nice to meet you. I mentioned to Anies that I will order again next month for my daughter. Soon after we arrived home, all the kids are excited waiting at the veranda, can't wait to see the cake as I told them it's a spiderman cake and taaaaadaaaaa....


Zachary 2nd birthday cake, nice right, very spiderman isn't it, hehe... Anies for your information, all the kids at home like the cake very much!

Zachary exact birthday is on 8th July, 2008 but celebrated yesterday afternoon at my Grandma house (Grandma's living area more spaces, more space for the kids running around). Well, just a simple celebration among family members. Here's some pictures...



Anies, once again thank you for the cake kio... my kids and rest of my family like it so much, it taste soooo yummy! My Aunty interested to order as well, will let you know soon...*wink*

Opsss... Anies, not forgetting the mini cupcakes sample, thank you!



Ok, that's about our fun Sunday!
